-Chapter 1-

Koenma looked at the clock and sighed, he had just called Ross' house and there was no answer.

'How am I going to tell them?' he thought as he descended down to the yard below.

It was once again mid winter, and no one was around, all that could be heard was the light drizzling of rain as it pattered on the roof of the Son's house.

Koenma knocked as he waited for an answer he looked around, nothing had changed since Ross' dismissal from ningenkai… how would they take the news?

The door creaked open and a tall spiky haired sayian stood in its wake.

"Koenma right? Hey… what's up is something wrong?" Gohan asked as he opened the door for the teen demi-god to enter.

"Well…"

Kurama looked around as he heard the heavy footsteps of someone coming at him, he turned to see Yusuke and Kuwa out of breath as they leaned against the wall close by.

"So you got a call from Koemna too, I'm guessing?" Kurama asked as Yusuke nodded and lifted up the note.

"Yah… he said to meet him at Ross' house right? Has it been a year yet?" Yusuke asked as he stood erect once more.

"I'm not sure I haven't really kept count… come on lets get going" and with that the three teens made there way to the Sayian's house on top of the mountain

She brushed her bangs out of her face as she ran through the woods; her body was still freezing cold as she waited for the blood to pump back through her body rhythmically.

Her blue eyes scanned the area as she dropped from the tree to the ground; she sheathed her katana and pulled her hair back into a clip.

'I wonder why I feel so accomplished! I feel better than ever!' Ross smiled at her reflection in the stream she had parked herself at, only to see fangs staring back at her and one mark which polished her pale skin upon her neck.

She fingered her fangs and smiled at herself.

'Oh well... So I have fangs again, if its living or dying I'll take these pearly whites' Ross looked around and then sat down on her worn and torn light blue jeans, her dark gray sweater kept her warm from the threatening wind as she closed her eyes and thought back over the last year.

Not having to worry about death, theft, or hurting anyone was a great feeling that kept her going throughout the LONG 365 days of her 'ningen vacation' but to spend it with her little daughter and to teach her everything she knew about life and what was good, and how not to be like her mother… now that made it all worth while.

Ross grinned to herself as she flipped upward into a standing position, her speed and strength were back too… she was back to normal… and now all she had to do was to get back home… to get back to where she had been missing for one whole year.

She took off into the drizzling rain

Koenma braced himself for what he knew was coming… but strangely all the boys did was sit and stare at him for what seemed like an eternity.

No fighting, no baby jokes… just hard icy glares, all directed at him.

"What do you mean you LOST her… how can you lose someone that is dead?" Yusuke asked now a bit annoyed.

"well… she isn't dead anymore… from 12 this morning… she's been alive, I went in there to get her and she was missing… I'm sure she is fine, she's just out somewhere… please don't tell Hiei" Koenma ducked his head, but it didn't matter, something slammed into him anyway.

Everyone in the room, which now included Chi Chi Goku and the whole DBZ gang looked up to see Ross standing in the door way sheathing her sword.

"Idiot" she muttered as she looked up just in time to see the group coming at her, she tried to dodge but instead was caught in a large bone cracking hug.

She was bombarded with several "I missed at you" and "Look at you, you're alive!" accompanied with one "I know I should have changed those locks… damn kitsunes" muttered in the back.

Ross wiggled herself from the group and brushed herself off, she looked around to see nothing had changed since she was gone… except for maybe everyone's feelings towards her.

"Wow I wonder what Hiei will do when he finds out you're back… he hasn't been around much lately" Yusuke said with a snicker only getting a glare from the demi-sayian.

"Detective please, let me remind you that with my life, I also have all of my skills back… so don't make me try them out on you ok… besides I'm sure he's busy and that's fine" Ross laughed, the others looked at Koenma.

"You DID tell him didn't you?" Yusuke asked, Koenma laughed.

"Please like he needs me to tell him, I'm sure he sensed it"

And with that the door slammed open, slamming an unsuspecting Ross into the wall behind the door.

Hiei stood in the door way reaching for his Katana.

"Where is she?" he asked rather annoyed from the faces around him.

'I know she's back… I can sense her… I knew I should have kept better track of the time'

BAM

A cracking impact could be heard as Hiei grabbed his head in pain; Ross slammed the door shut and clenched her fist in obvious irritation from being slammed earlier.

"I'm not even alive for one day and I'm already being slammed behind doors" she mumbled more to herself than anything else, Hiei looked behind him growling only to see Ross raising a brow.

"Wow glad to know I was missed ne?" Ross laughed as Hiei just gave an 'hn' to her statement.

Ross walked past him and smiled when she got a hold of his scent.

"So… how was it to be dead?" Kuwa asked, Ross laughed from his response and shrugged.

"I don't know… I spent it mostly with Hana… and my father… I guess it was ok" Ross muttered Kurama looked up.

Ross sat down and searched through her pockets only to fish out what looked like half a lock.

"You want this back?" Ross asked waving the lock in front of Koenma with a smirk, Koenma snached it from her hand.

"You completely stripped it" he muttered, Ross just shrugged and chuckled.

"Well you wanna tell me why I had a lock on me in the first place?" she asked with a smirk. Koenma growled.

"Just because you can do this that doesn't mean-"

"Yeah yeah blah blah blah what are you my mother, look I paid off ALL of my old debts while I was dead… I'm cured from all that damn stone, the world isn't in chaos anymore and everyone is safe, now is there anything I missed?" she asked as Koenma growled and began to hover in the middle of the room.

"Don't let me find you in anymore trouble" and with that he was gone, back to spirit world.

"Well joy" Ross muttered to herself, as she received one more hug from Yukina and then a loud "Lets Party!" emitted the room as the house went into chaos.

Ross left the room in time to recollect her sanity, only to be disturbed by the rustling of leaves as Hiei dropped into sight.

"and I thought I was the one that would have to go and find you" she smirked as he rolled his eyes from her play on words, Ross rushed into his arms and smiled once she felt him responding.

"Miss me Fire Jerk?" she asked only getting a tighter embrace from Hiei.

"Depends… were you gone?" he asked Ross looked up with a grin and kissed him lightly on the nose.

"Yes, yes I was" she said proudly, Hiei caught her lips again in a crushing embrace, he let go only to see Ross was pulling his bangs out of his face, he brushed her hands away?

"Onna" Ross laughed from his less than strict tone…it sounded more like he was whining than anything.

"Well I missed you too hun" she said with a smirk, Hiei smirked looked down at her.

"You better have" he muttered as he caught her lips in another kiss… she was finally back, back in his arms where she belonged.

That is until the phone rang

Ross growled and pulled away from Hiei's embrace, much to his dismay, She flipped open the device to see the screen zoom into the caller's face.

Ross' eyes went wide for a second and then she laughed lightly.

"Dad, I've only been gone for a few hours and you're already calling collect from the dead to talk to me?" she asked, the man in the screen had dark curly locks and bright blue eyes, much like the ones' Ross wore.

"Rosa, please this is important are you listening" Ross's eyes became serious as she nodded sternly.

"Who is that?" Hiei asked looking over to see who had interrupted his time with Ross, Ross rolled her eyes.

"didn't you hear me, its my father"

".. you're demon father?" Hiei asked a bit taken a back, Ross nodded quickly and then moved her attention back to her father.

"Alright what is it dad?" she asked, he cleared his throat suddenly

"You do know that you're mother's family has been searching for you since they saw you on Northen Makai News? I heard about it just after you left, it seems they have been hassling your mother for information on you… it seems they have some bone or something to pick with you… about territory or something… so you better get up there." And with that the screen went blank.

Ross shut the case and then turned to Hiei.

"Shit… they've come back for me"
