Ch.11: Discovery

"A father shouldn't need reasons to see his son." Those words hit Hiei hard. Hiei didn't want to believe that Shameko was his father but he had to. The resemblance between Hiei and Shameko held no room for arguments. The only difference between them was the hair and eye color. Hiei had red eyes and black hair while Shameko had golden eyes and red hair.

"Speechless I see." Shameko took another step dragging Katalina with him. She was struggling to get his hands off her mouth and his arm from her waist.

"I don't care who you are. Give her back to me." Hiei demanded.

"My, my Hiei. Such a tone to use with your father. This girl must mean an awful lot to you. But then again I can see why." Shameko leaned in close to Katalina's face. "She's very attractive to be a human." Katalina cringed visibly. Hiei could barely control his anger.

"Get your hands off of her." Hiei demanded through clenched teeth. Shameko smirked evilly.

"If you don't mind Hiei I think I'll just take this girl off your hands." Hiei narrowed his eyes. He noticed that Katalina had a plan gleaming in her eyes asking permission to go through with it.

"Do it Katalina." Hiei said not knowing what she was planning. Katalina nodded once and closed her eyes concentrating. Hiei figured out what she had planned when her body began to glow the same golden color she had when Koenma changed her into a demon. Shameko quickly removed himself from her and stepped back. Katalina changed into her demon form and jumped to Hiei's side. Shameko recovered from his initial shock.

"Well what do you know? Princess Katalina you're alive. What a surprise." Katalina narrowed her green eyes.

"Spare me with the fake enjoyment of me being alive. Do you not remember that you were the one that ended my life?"

"I gave you a choice princess. I asked you to join me. But you refused. I had no choice but dispose of you. Now it seems that you have returned. I offer you again to join me and cause pain and suffering to the human world." Shameko said stepping forward. Hiei defensively pushed Katalina to stand behind him. Shameko raised an eyebrow at his actions.

"She'll never join you." Hiei seethed. Shameko snorted.

"What did I tell you about that tone of yours young man? You shall have to be punished." Shameko said creating a fireball in the palm of his hand and firing at Hiei and Katalina. They both jumped in opposite directions to get out of the way. Shameko continued to throw fire at the two demons.

'Damn. He's gotten so much faster in the past sixteen years.' Katalina thought just barely missing a fireball. Hiei noticed the narrow escape and thought of a way to get Katalina out of danger.

'This had better work.' He thought throwing a bunch of fire punches at Shameko. A few hit him buying Hiei a little time. "Kat!" He got her attention and he motioned for her to join him. When she did, Hiei used a special portal-creating device Koenma had given him when he was put in charge of protecting Katalina.

"Where does that go to?"

"The house. Now come on." Before they could move, Shameko began another attack. One had actually hit Katalina in the head. To get Katalina out of danger, Hiei forcefully pushed Katalina in the portal. He then closed it and destroyed the device under his foot keeping Shameko from getting to her. Hiei began to fight his father on his own.

Katalina fell from the portal and hit the floor. Her head started to throb and she heard voices. She groaned a bit when she felt a hand turn her on her back. She blinked as she saw the brightness from the ceiling lights and a mass of red. Her eyes got used to the lights and she realized it was Kurama in front of her.

"Who the hell is she?" Yusuke wondered out loud. Katalina sat up with Kurama's help rubbing her head.

"Do you have to talk so loud Yusuke? I'm right here in front of you." Katalina mumbled. Yusuke looked at her.

"How did you know my name?" Katalina rolled her eyes.

"Unfortunately Yusuke I've known you for a long time." She answered.

"Who are you?" Kuwabara asked. Katalina sighed.

"Sit down and I'll show you." Yusuke and Kuwabara sat down on the couch as Katalina stood up. She staggered a bit but Kurama steadied her.

"Are you sure you can do this on your own? You seem to have been hit pretty hard."

"I'm fine. I can do this." Kurama let go of Katalina and stepped back when she closed her eyes and began to glow. The demon Katalina became the human Katalina when the glow faded.

"Kat!!" Yusuke and Kuwabara doubled over in shock. Keiko didn't seem to have a reaction. Katalina rolled her eyes again and turned to Keiko and Kurama.

"Hiei's in trouble. That's why I'm here. He pushed me in that portal to keep Shameko from getting to me."

"So you've seen Shameko?" Keiko asked. Katalina nodded.

"Oh yeah." She answered. "He didn't even know who I was."

"What? Why would he kidnap you if he didn't know who you were?"

"I was bait. He wanted Hiei from the beginning."

"Hiei?" Kurama asked. "What would he have to do with him?" Katalina sat down followed by Kurama and Keiko.

"Shameko is Hiei's father." Katalina answered straightforward.

"This certainly changes things." Kurama muttered.

"Yes it does. And we need to get back there and help Hiei. He can't take Shameko alone." By this time Yusuke and Kuwabara had recovered from their shock.

"Well then let's get there and kick his ass as a team." Yusuke said standing up. Katalina followed.

"Exactly what I was thinking."

"What's the plan?" Kuwabara asked also standing up.

"We'll make one up on the way." Katalina answered on the way out the door. 'I can't lose Hiei. I just can't.' She thought stopping a moment for the rest to catch up. Kurama was the first followed by Kuwabara. Katalina wondered what was keeping Yusuke so she walked to the window. She saw Yusuke talking to Keiko who looked worried. Katalina saw Keiko tell Yusuke to be careful and Yusuke make some kind of don't worrying comment. What surprised Katalina was when she saw the two kiss. 'I need to start paying attention better.' She thought shaking her head slightly smirking. She removed the smirk when Yusuke came out.

"Okay let's go." Yusuke said.

"I'm pretty sure I know where it is. Let's just hope I'm right." Katalina said as they left to find Hiei and get rid of Shameko.
