Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Little Tiger ❯ Reunion ( Chapter 13 )

Ch.13: Reunion

Five years had passed since Katalina and Hiei destroyed Shameko. And five years since the two had seen each other. That assignment was mostly for Hiei to clean up Shameko's mess in the Spirit World. After getting information for Hiei, the rest of the team went separate ways. Yusuke and Kuwabara actually graduated high school and hadn't been fired from their jobs yet. Kurama, Keiko and Katalina were in college at the head of their class. When Hiei finished is assignment, Koenma set up a reunion in his office. Katalina was currently holding Koenma up by his collar because Hiei had yet to show up.

"Katalina he will be here. I guarantee it." Koenma said.

"He'd better be Koenma or you won't have a chance to hit puberty." Katalina threatened dropping him in his chair and walking back to her spot.

"Damn, "Yusuke snickered, "PMS anyone?" He chuckled a bit until a spoonful of chip dip landed on the back of his neck. "Yuck." He wiped it off his neck glaring at Katalina who smirked licking the spoon.

"Watch it Yusuke. Just because you've joined the demon club doesn't mean I won't attack." Katalina said.

"We've been here for half an hour and Yusuke is already getting threats." Botan muttered.

"I haven't seen him in two years. I need to catch up." Katalina said smirking slightly.

Much time had passed and there was still no sigh of Hiei. Katalina was drumming her fingers on Koenma's desk when Kurama approached her.

"Katalina, is something wrong? Are you worried about Hiei?" He placed his hand on hers to stop the drumming. Katalina sighed.

"No, I know Hiei is fine." She pulled her hand out of under Kurama's, standing up. "Does anyone want something sweet?" Katalina walked for the door. "I'm going to find a kitchen and bake some cookies or something." Kuwabara grabbed her arm when she passed, stopping her.

"Kat what's wrong?" He asked. Katalina smiled weakly.

"Nothing is wrong." She replied. "I just need something sweet.

"That's BS and you know it Kat. The only time you willingly bake is when you're hiding something. So what's up?" Katalina sighed and Kuwabara let go of her arm.

"Okay you're right, there is something I want to tell everyone. But I wanted to wait until everyone was here." Katalina sat on Koenma's desk. "But I'm tired of waiting on Hiei. It affects me and him more than all of us." Yusuke sat up in his chair.

"Affects all of us but you and Hiei the most." He repeated. "I think I know what you're going to say." Katalina looked at him.

"By all means Yusuke, what am I going to say?"

"You're going to tell us that you're pregnant and Hiei isn't the father." Katalina slapped her forehead.

"Kami Yusuke you are so stupid at times." Katalina said shaking her head. "I would never do that to Hiei." Yusuke shrugged casually.

"Just a thought."

"You don't have many of those do you?" Katalina teased.

"Shut up." Yusuke grumbled.

"Alright you two." Botan said stopping the impending argument. "Now Kat what is it you wanted to tell everyone?"

"Well," Katalina began, "Keiko do you remember when I told you that Professor Cearty said I was a natural in psychology?" Keiko nodded.

"Yeah I remember. He said that you're his most promising student."

"Exactly. He thinks I'd be so successful in psychology that he suggested that I go to another college where they're known for producing the best psychologists."

"Well that's great Kat." Kurama said.

"Yeah except the school is in America." The room fell silent after Katalina's news.

"America wow," Kuwabara mumbled, "That's a long way away."

"I know. That's why I said it affected all of us. If there's a big mission in the next four years, its gonna be hard to get a hold of me."

"I'm sure it would be alright Katalina." Botan said. "Besides we've got Keiko on the team now."

"No we don't have Keiko on the team." Yusuke said.

"Yusuke don't even start. I made the decision and you can't make me change my mind." Katalina laughed as Keiko, Yusuke and Botan started arguing about Keiko's position in the team.

"I pray Hiei and I never turn out like that." She mumbled to Kurama. "I'll be right back." She left the room through another door just as the main door opened.

"Some things never change." Everyone turned to the source of the voice to see Hiei had finally arrived.

"Hiei," Yusuke greeted abandoning his present argument. "'Bout damn time you got here. Kat's losing her mind over here."

"Katalina has been perfectly normal." Kurama said.

"So trying to choke Koenma is normal?"

"With Katalina it is." Yusuke agreed, going back to Keiko's side.

"Where is Katalina?" Hiei said noticing her absence.

"She went to the restroom. She'll be back soon." Kurama answered.

"Actually I'm right behind you." Hiei turned and saw Katalina standing behind him with a smile on her face. Hiei smirked slightly and pulled Katalina closer to him and gave her a passionate kiss.

"Oh get a room!" Yusuke shouted. The two ignored him.

"I've missed you." Katalina said as they parted.

"I missed you too." Hiei replied. Katalina took a slight deep breath deciding to just bite the bullet and tell Hiei she was leaving.

"A lot has happened while you were gone." Hiei raised an inquiring eyebrow.

"Oh?"

"Something big." Katalina answered. "Something we need to talk about privately." Katalina took Hiei's hand and lead him outside the room. "And if I find out anyone was eavesdropping I'll personally rip off your ears." She threatened closing the door.

"Katalina what's wrong? Has something happened to you?" Katalina smiled inwardly, silently liking the way the ex-fugitive demon was concerned for her.

"No Hiei I am fine. But I'm not sure we are."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Katalina sat in a chair by the door pulling Hiei into the one next to her.

"It's been five years since we've seen each other. A lot has changed. I've become very successful in my goal to become a psychologist."

"What does that have to do with us?" Hiei questioned.

"My professors think that I have the potential to be a great psychologist that they're sending me to another school to finish studying. The problem is that I'll be going to America for four years."

"That's what got you so worried?" Katalina looked at Hiei.

"Well, yeah." Hiei smirked. He leaned over and kissed her.

"I'll just come with you to America." Katalina's eyes widened slightly in shock. "Just don't expect me to get a job."

"You'd do that just for me?"

"What is it humans say? D'uh." Hiei replied. Katalina smiled and kissed him in response. The two parted when the door swung open and Yusuke fell out. Katalina chuckled lowly.

"Yusuke you just made my day." Yusuke got to his feet as Katalina stood up.

"Kat it was an accident." Yusuke said taking a few steps back. "I wasn't listening in. I swear. Kuwabara pushed me through the door."

"He couldn't have pushed you through the door if you weren't there at it."

"I was just passing by." Kurama came out and leaned against the doorframe. "Kurama help me out here."

"I'm afraid I can't do that Yusuke. It isn't right to step in a princess's way."

"Looks like you have no hope Yusuke. You are about to lose an ear." Katalina took one step forward and Yusuke bolted around the corner. Katalina laughed. "I love doing that to him."

"Well considering Kat's still playful mood, I take it the two of you worked something out." Kurama said.

"Yes we did. Hiei decided to come with me." Katalina answered.

"Of all solutions that was the last one I thought of." Kurama chuckled a bit. "Well come on back in a we can finish the now turned farewell party before you have to leave."

"Sounds good." The three walked back into the room. Keiko was talking to Botan.

"Hey where did Yusuke go?" She wondered.

"Yusuke?" Katalina questioned. "Never heard of him."

"Scared him again didn't you?"

"I couldn't help myself." Katalina said innocently.

"Things are going to be so different with you gone Kat." Botan said. "I mean who else is going to torture Yusuke."

"I leave that in Keiko's capable hands." Kat said smiling. "Now that Yusuke's torture is in good hands.... Let's party!"
