~ PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW AND MAKE ME STOP BEGGING!!!~
~Chapter 25~
Yusuke and the others finally landed and were now in town; Christmas decorations were everywhere and as usual there was no cheerful welcome.
"Keiko, I'm sorry." Yusuke said rubbing his cheek.
"Well you could have at least told me you were leaving" said Keiko.
"Well It was spur of the moment a-"
"No buts Yusuke that is why I decided to go to WestPoint" she said in a serious tone.
"What no way that I no place for you" said Yusuke worried.
"I can take care of myself Yusuke and besides Im not doing this for you I got a scholarship" she said as she left with Yusuke in Awe.
"There all the same" he said before stomping after her.
The break went by pretty quickly, as Keiko got packed to go back with them Yusuke and the others spent some 'quality' time with their families' a.k.a .fighting.
"Come on you guys were going to be late hurry up or because road kill" said Yusuke to the team and Keiko as they crossed the highway to the airport.
"Come on Urameshi slow down" said Kuwa
"Well if you didn't have to have such a long goodbye with your kitten we could be on the plane right now" said Yusuke as they all snickered except for Keiko.
"Shut up" said Kuwa
"Yeah Yusuke that wasn't very nice: said Keiko angrily.
They got to the plane just in time and boarded.
"Well that was a nice break" said Kurama buckling his seat belt.
"Sure, you didn't have to clean up 500 beer bottles" said Yusuke buckling his seatbelt he was by Keiko of course.
"Yes well I guess it was a good idea to go home a day early then" said Kurama
"Yeah whatever" said Yusuke.
"I hope Ross is ok." said Kuwa as they turned around.
"Well that was random" said Yusuke.
Keiko looked around "whose Ross?"
"OH a friend" said Yusuke grinning.
"O"
"Im sure she's fine Kuwabara she doesn't seem like the type to be pushed around, but then again" thought Kurama.
"Trust me Kurama, She's fine" said Hiei in a monotone voice.
"Yeah well not all of us spent 'quality' time with her" said Kuwa grinning.
"Shut up fool before you meet the ground and im not talking about the airplane" said Hiei roughly.
"Whatever Shrimp"
Hiei glared.
"Shut up"
"No you shut up"
Everyone on the plane was now staring.
"Can you two please stop arguing" said Kurama
They became quiet but only for a minute than the bitching began once again all the way home.
~ Mean While~
"Well duh I've paid bills, wait what you mean my loan is up!" screamed Ross over the phone.
"Yes I have a job you jerk, I have three!" she yelled.
"Whatever call me back when you get some manners, well maybe I'll pay maybe I won't, I'll let you decided" she hung up the phone and slammed it down on the table.
"DAMNIT!" she yelled, everyone including Botan stopped what they were doing.
"Sorry" she said sarcastically.
Botan had listened to the whole conversation in secret, but decided to confront her.
"Uh, Ross" she said shyly.
"What" she said harshly.
"Is there something wrong" she asked.
"No, im fine" said Ross as she grabbed her Jacket and left threw the front door.
~ Airplane~
"I want the roasted peanuts!" Yelled Kuwa
"Get off there mine" Yelled Yusuke as they wrestled for the peanuts.
Kurama and Keiko just sweat dropped.
"You guy-"
"Don't Kurama it's quite entertaining besides the fools face" said Hiei with a smirk.
"Kuwa looked up "You're going to pay for that shrimp!" He yelled.
"Stop you'll only hurt yourself" said Hiei.
"Oh yeah well" He stopped, as he tried to thin of a comeback.
"Even thinking is difficult for you dumb ass" said Hiei with a smirk as Yusuke fell on the ground laughing.
"Yusuke, you're making a scene" said Keiko red in the face.
"I am!" laughed out Yusuke.
Keiko dropped her head "Boys"
~Mean while~
*Knock*
A young purple headed woman answered the door.
"Yes, Oh Miss. Gem so nice to see you" said the woman.
"Wes hello Loretta I wondering if I could take Jewels for the night?" she asked with her hands in her pocket.
"Well I don't see why not, it will give me chance to work with the other children" said Loretta letting Ross in.
"Wait a minute" she said going in the back.
Jewels ran in the back door with her back pack.
"Are you really taking me to spend the night?" she asked with a wild grin on her face her, her ginger eyes sparkled in the bright light of the outside.
"Yes of course, are you ready?" she asked.
"Yeah!" she said in a childish tome that only a three year old can provide.
"Alright then lets go." She said taking the girl's hand in hers and walking to the door.
"Oh wait, Loretta do you need me to sign any forms?" she asked.
"No I trust you. She said, those words meant the world to Ross she smiled and picked Jewels up putting her on her shoulders and walking out the door.
~ Airplane~
The boys were asleep except for Hiei who was looking out the window thinking.
~ Flash Back~
"Come on you can do better than that" said a young fox demon; she was no older than 15, her hair blew in the wind over her face her clothes were tattered and torn, her stomach was showing, she had a large gash in her side.
"You know I don't even know why I bother with you" said a tattered looking Hiei.
"Because you love me!" she said grinning.
"Hah" he said sarcastically.
"And because I can kick your ass" she said as her Lilac eyes glowed.
"Right Woman you think that" he said as she went back to normal.
"You're boring im leaving" she said turning around.
"Wait" he yelled, she froze and turned slowly.
"What?" she asked turning to him.
"What is that on your back?" he asked she blushed.
"Nothing" she mumbled, but he stopped her and grabbed her by the arm.
"I believe that's something" he said looking at it now in clearer view she jerked away.
"What is it a tattoo?" he asked.
"No it's a birth mark if you must know" she said, and turned around to give him a better view, and sure enough on her right bottom back was a lavender rose with blood red tips, on a jade stem , though the rose was not yet in full bloom.
"Huh, never seen a birth mark like that" he said rubbing his thumb over it.
She shivered "well" she began moving from his touch.
"You've never met anyone like me before either" she said jumping into a tree and off into the woods.
'That's for sure' he thought to himself.
~ End of Flash Back~
Hiei sat upright, when he noticed the plane was landing.
~ Mean While~
Ross entered WestPoint with tired Jewels in her arms.
'The place is still pretty empty' she thought as she sat down at the fire place by the front door, moving Jewels to her lap.
She put her head back and sighed 'At least I still have you' she thought as she drifted off to sleep.
~Later~ Botan met the boys and Keiko at the airport, it was about 8 pm, and they were almost to the school.
"Oh why didn't you get us a car or something this time Botan?" asked a tired Yusuke.
"Oh, you need the exercise Mr. Lazy Bones." She said as she saw the school for the hill.
"See its not that much further come on" she said as the boys followed with a groan.
"Oh I can't wait to get there" said an excited Keiko.
"Yeah, heh me either" said Yusuke.
"See I thought it might have had a positive impact on you" she said cheerily as she went ahead of the group.
"Yeah, or it could because MY FEET ARE KILLING ME" he yelled.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They finally got there, Keiko and the others showed their passed to the guards which kinda freaked Keiko out, and they entered the school.
"WOO HOO!" said Yusuke sarcastically.
And then they saw it, a young girl was curled up in a quilt in a chair, by the fire.
She had wavy emerald green locks which were in a half pony tail that met her mid back, she had on a jade dress which had a white oleander imprinted on the front.
"Who is that?" asked Yusuke but everyone was dumb founded until they noticed Ross on the phone walking up and down the hall, they got closer.
"Look I know I paid my bills I have the receipt right here" she said clenching a piece of paper in her hand.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE MONEY NEVER CAME THROUGH!" she screamed so loud that the little girl jerked awake, her now luminous ginger eyes stared at the team.
"Hello" she said as they gave her a questionable look, then she noticed Hiei
"Hey, I remember you you're Ro Ro's friend" she said tilting her head , he didn't answer.
They gave him a questionable look.
"Yes , I'll hold" said Ross angrily , as she went over to Jewels.
"Jewels what did I say about talking to stra-" she stopped when she realized who it was.
"Oh hey" she said.
Keiko looked her up and down, Ross was fairly shorter than herself, she had her blonde locks in a low clip that was in a cream bandana, her eyes were a menacing sapphire blue that shown through the whole room, she had on a light blue shirt that almost seemed white, with black baggy pants, she had on combat boots and open fingered leather gloves which gave Keiko the impression she was not to be messed with, but what was with the kid? And why was she so familiar?
"Yes, im still here "said Ross angrily into the phone.
"Look ,I worked double shift for the last two weeks and I know damn well I have money , so don't be playing this BS with about it not coming in" said she walking down the hall slightly.
"You can't do that I need this loan!! So what if im only 13 I've done business with you before, you know what" she said rubbing her head.
"Give me your supervisor!" she said calmly.
"Well then you're a one sh-" she stopped when she realized that Jewels was there.
'Tell you what I have to go into town tomorrow anyways, how about I come in and straighten this out in person, yes 12 would be fine BYE" she said hanging up.
"You jack ass" she said under her breath.
Jewels came and tugged on her pant leg, she knelt down.
"What is it sweetie?" she asked
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing sweet heart" she said picking her up.
"Ok" she said resting her head on Ross' shoulder.
She stroked her hair and Jewels fell right to sleep, she placed her in the chair and covered her, she turned around.
The boys looked at her in wonder.
" If you don't mind me asking who is that?" asked Kuwa.
"Well I will tell you if you tell me who this is" she said pointing to Keiko.
"This is Keiko my friend" said Yusuke, she grinned.
"Well its really nice to meet you Keiko, I hope I didn't give you the wrong impression?" she said shaking her hand.
"OH no I understand you must be Ross they told me about you on the airplane" she said smiling.
Ross looked at Hiei 'don't worry she doesn't know anything about you' said Hiei to Ross telepathically.
"Why don't I show you around Keiko" said Botan taking her hand and rushing her down the hall.
"ok." said Keiko being pulled after Botan.
"So what's with the girl?" asked Yusuke.
"She's my God daughter I took her for the night" she said as the team looked at her in shock, "you're a god mother" said Kuwa.
"Yes I watch over hr, her mother gave her up and she is living in a group home right now, you could say im her care taker" said Ross
"Alright then how does she know shorty?" asked Kuwa
"I took him to meet her, he thought she was my Boy friend what a crock" she said with a laugh.
"Oh alright, I guess that make sense, except for why he would think that" said Yusuke.
"Because I was talking to her on the phone" she said flaty
"O"
"Anyways, I don't think it's against 'the rules'" she said picking up the tike.
"No, I believe your home free" said Kurama.
"Yeah at least im doing something right" she said looking down at the girl.
"Im going to bed" she said leaving them , " OH and don't tell Koenma about my money problems I don't want that spreading to half of Makai, to think one of the world's greatest thieves is broke" she said as she went out in the cold.
~ SO what do you think DUMB COOL WHAT????~
