Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Little Tiger ❯ Shameko ( Chapter 10 )

Ch.10: Shameko

Hiei used his jagan eye to track Katalina down once he got into the spirit world. Her spirit energy led him to a large cave in the middle of nowhere. Hiei walked deep into the cave and found a large open space lit by a single torch. The flame was bright enough for Hiei to find what he was looking for. Katalina was against the wall with her hands chained to the wall. She was out cold. He rushed over and lightly shook her.

"Kat?" He said trying to wake her up. Katalina groaned slightly and opened her eyes. She blink focusing her view.

"Hiei?"

"Yeah its me. Hold still. I'm gonna try to get the undine." Hiei said as he began to pull at the chains. The chains would give away so finally Hiei pulled out his kitana and sliced through them. Katalina rubbed her wrists slightly. Hiei pulled her to her feet. They started walking out of the cave.

'That was too easy.' Hiei thought following his own tracks out. Suddenly the daylight from the exit disappeared from a boulder blocking their way.

"Where the hell did that come from?" Katalina thought out loud. They ran up to it and tried to move it. The boulder wouldn't budge. "Damn. There has to be another way out." Katalina mumbled. A strong wind blew, blowing out the flame torch.

"What the hell?" Hiei muttered reaching out for Katalina's hand so they wouldn't get separated. He couldn't find her in the darkness. Hiei cursed trying to find Katalina. Calling her name wouldn't help. There had to be someway to light the cave. Then Hiei felt another presence in the room. Hiei acknowledged the sound of feet like they were struggling. He came to the conclusion that whatever was here with them had Katalina. "Who are you and what do you want with her?" Hiei said into the darkness. "Show yourself." Suddenly more torches were lit by fire, expelling most of the darkness. Hiei could now see a large amount of cultivated humans blocking him from getting to Katalina who was halfway in the darkness. Hiei could only see from her waist down. And with that he also saw someone standing behind her with one of their arms secured around Katalina's waist. Which angered him the most. Hiei wasn't pleased that that someone had pressed *his* Katalina so close to their own body.

"Not quite yet. I will show myself when I feel you should see." The figure said in a deep baritone voice and visibly tightened his grip around Katalina's waist. Hiei felt his control slip to find it was a man holding Katalina so close.

'That must be Shameko.' Hiei thought as the cultivated humans started coming toward Hiei. He sliced through them with ease. As the last one fell, Hiei turned back to the figure who had yet to move.

"Impressive. So quickly done." Shameko said calmly. "I knew if I used the right bait you would come."

"Bait?" Hiei did not like the sound of that.

"Oh yes. This wretched human girl was no more than bait to get you here Hiei."

'He must not recognize Katalina. I hope that's a good sign. But why would he want me?' Hiei wondered in his head. "What do you want with me?"

"I don't need a reason Hiei." Shameko said stepping into the light with Katalina. "A father shouldn't need reasons to see his son."
