Ch.3: Surprise Surprise

**Warehouse**

Katalina woke up on a cot in a dimmed room.

"That's strange. I could've swore I was in my room. If this is another of Kuwabara's jokes, I'm gonna kill him." She mumbled to herself as she sat up. She felt something tight around her ankles on both feet. She looked down and saw that her ankles were tied to the railing by some red energy rope looking things. "What the hell is this?" She tried to pull free but they wouldn't budge. She was too busy with her ankles to notice Hiei walk in the room.

"Awake I see." Katalina jumped at the sound of his voice. "And jumpy at that." Katalina glared at him.

"You would be too if you woke up in some strange room with your feet tied to a bed because you were kidnapped by some demon."

"How did you know I'm a demon?"

"I can sense it. Plus only a demon would be stupid enough to kidnap a Kuwabara."

"I think you just took a lucky guess. If you really could feel it, you'd either be a demon yourself or a spirit detective." Hiei came little closer.

"I guess so. What do you want with me anyway?" Hiei smirked a bit.

"Oh nothing really. Just your loyalty." Katalina raised an eyebrow.

"Oh really. And how the hell do you plan on getting that?"

"Just a little thing called mind control." Hiei reached up and began to untie his bandana around his jagan eye.

"What?" He removed it and Katalina caught sight of the jagan. She stared at it and her eyes began to glaze over. When they were completely clouded, Hiei removed the ties from Katalina's feet.

'Now, how can I test her loyalty? What the hell, I'll just do what everyone else does. If she resists, I'll know it didn't work." Hiei gently lifted her chin to kiss her. He was less than an inch away.

"Get out here Hiei. I'm gonna kick your ass again!" He heard Yusuke yell from the door.

"Damn. He could've waited a little longer." Hiei let go of Katalina's chin. "We'll pick this up when I return." Hiei ran out the door to meet his 'guests'. He didn't notice Katalina smirk when he turned his back.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Come on out Hiei. I don't have all night damn it!"

"Quit yelling detective. You're giving me a headache." Hiei came out of the shadows.

"Alright, where is she?" Hiei mockingly looked confused.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"The hell you don't. Where is she?" Kuwabara was obviously pissed.

"I'll get her for you." Hiei whistled. "Tiger, you've got some guests." Katalina walked out. She stayed behind Hiei.

"As you can see Yusuke, you're too late. She belongs to me now."

"Oh really?" Hiei turned around to see Katalina smirking behind him. He was very surprised.

"But how?"

"Maybe I should introduce myself. The name's Katalina Kuwabara. I'm a spirit detective."

"You were under my control! I had you."

"You didn't do your research very well, did you Hiei. If you did you'd know my sister's the best actress this side of the planet." Kuwabara said. Katalina took a bow.

"A good performance if I do say so myself."

"Really Hiei, if you plan to kidnap someone and take over their mind, make sure it'll work." Yusuke laughed. This ticked Hiei off. He charged at Yusuke. He came very close but before he got there, a very big blast hit between them. Yusuke was thrown into a hard wooden crate. Hiei crashed into Katalina and they were sent into the wall. Botan, Kurama, and Kuwabara looked to where the blast came from. There stood a large hideous brown beast who had a snake for a left arm. Botan thought she was going to lose her lunch because it was so disgusting. Yusuke came out of the crate. He looked as disgusted as Botan.

"Okay I've seen a lot of ugly demons but you take the cake." The demon shot another blast. This time barely missing Kurama and Kuwabara. The battle began. Botan stayed out of the fight. She went to find Katalina. She thought that Hiei would take this opportunity to try and kidnap her again. Hiei didn't move for a couple of seconds. He moved when he felt something move under him. When he realized it was Katalina, he got up quickly. She sat up and rubbed the back of her head.

'Good thing I've got a hard head.' She thought.

"Are you alright?" Hiei asked. Katalina looked at him surprised.

"Y-yeah. I'm fine." He extended his hand out to help her up. She took it and got up.

"Katalina where are you?" Botan yelled coming closer. Katalina turned toward where her voice came from. Hiei took this time to disappear. "There you are." Botan came up. "So where's Hiei?"

"He's..." She turned around. "Well he was right here." Hiei was at the very top of the crates where no one could see him. Botan and Katalina went back to where the fight was taking place. They weren't doing very good. Kuwabara and Kurama were out cold.

"Looks like I'd better go help them." Katalina pulled out a staff weapon. At this point, the demon and Yusuke were in a fistfight. Yusuke didn't look too hot. The demon was about to land another punch but an arrow made of fire shot and cut his 'hand' before it made contact. Yusuke stared at the arrow.

"Okay, where'd that come from?"

"It came from me." Keiko came into view.

"Didn't I tell you to stay with Koenma."

"Koenma thought you'd need help so he sent me."

"Remind me to kick his ass later. He could have been sending you to your death. Next time listen to me."

"I can take care of myself. I don't need you to play daddy to me." They continued arguing while the demon gathered energy to fire another blast. He released it and Yusuke and Keiko finally noticed it. But it was too late to try and dodge. Luckily for them, Katalina was a fast runner.

"Spirit shield!" She jumped in front of them and created a shield around all of them with her energy. The blast shot off of it. The demon kept throwing more. "What are you waiting for Yusuke? Fire your spirit gun at him." The demon attacks were too powerful for her. She wasn't as experienced as Kuwabara was.

"I have to wait for some energy to come back. I don't think it'll take too long."

"Damn." Katalina was losing energy and the shield was getting weaker and weaker. The blasts started to push her back. Yusuke started to power up. Katalina fell to her knees.

"Just a little more. Hang in there." Yusuke said gathering energy as fast as he could. Hiei was still watching. He saw Katalina fall to her feet.

'That power takes a lot out of her.' Hiei jumped down next to Katalina. He put his arm around her shoulders and started to give her some of his energy. By this time, Kurama was awake. Needless to say, they were surprised at Hiei's actions.

"Yusuke, what are you waiting for? Fire!" Botan screamed at him. He aimed and fired his spirit gun. The demon was sent back to where he came from. The shield disappeared and she completely passed out.

"Okay, I'm confused now. First he kidnaps her, tries to control her and now he's helping her stay alive. Demons I swear."

"Watch it Yusuke." Kurama warned. Kuwabara finally woke up.

"Now that everyone's wake, we should go to Koenma's office." Botan said opened a portal and they started to walk in. Hiei picked Katalina up and walked toward the portal.

"Hiei, what made this change in you?" Kurama asked.

"She's weak. She needs rest." Hiei ignored the actual question.

"Koenma will help her. Come on." Kurama went through the portal followed by Hiei.

'Don't worry tiger. You'll be better soon.' Hiei thought looking at the girl in his arms.
