~Chapter 13~
The stars twinkled back at Ross as she looked up at the night sky; she adjusted her leg and cringed at the pain she received. She took out her Journal.
-Its May now, I've been silent for months on end I lost track of the days but I do believe my Birthday is Tomorrow, Huh I hope they don't decide to give me a present. My knee is in shambles I can barely stand the pain, My fears have come true I have made myself cold and distant I only breath when I know I am alone, though I have had a few nights sleep lately due to the warm weather, I fear that Koenma believes I am dead, its probably for the best, I wonder sometimes why he doesn't contact me I suppose I am no good anyways.-
She finished writing as spring shower came, rain dotting her face as she tried to shelter herself from the rain. She closed her eyes and drifted to sleep, as her pendant glowed.
~ Mean while~
"What do you mean you can't find her," yelled Kuwa.
"Well we lost her energy signal months ago, and figured that she was masking it but unfortunately she isn't, tomorrow is her birthday and the pendant would have started reacting to her by now" he said getting a confused look from them.
"What do you mean reacting?" asked Kurama
"Well Ross will be 14 tomorrow the double seven and that's when the stone starts feeding and saving energy for when she turns 15" he said confusing them.
"It means that she starts to react to the stone" he said as they boys finally understood.
"Poor Ross I fear what state she is in, or even if she is alive" said Koenma as they boys looked down.

~ Next Morning~
Ross woke up to sound of a trumpet, she flinched her fingers as the rain softly dripped onto them. She sat up and shook her head with a groan.
She looked around the base, it was quiet.. A little too quiet.
So sighed and closed her eyes laying her head on the cool brick wall.
"Hello my little darling" said a voice at the wire door; she opened one eye to see her least favorite person Marshall.
She groaned, "oh what not happy to see me" he said frowning.
"Too bad time to get up" he said throwing a bucket of mud onto her she clenched her teeth and attached the door, only to receive scratched hands from the snide wire.
"Oh a little feisty today are we alright then" he said opening the door. She looked at him with a weird expression and then slumped on the opposite wall.
"AWE what you going to make me go in there" he said at the door.
"Alright fine" he said entering the small space. He took her roughly by the hair and forced her to stand up, making her flinch under the weight on her knee.
He forced her hands behind her back and pushed her forcefully to the outside, Ross had enough her stomped her left foot onto his, as he let go in agony she shoved him into the cage slamming the door to a lock position.
She looked down at him, as he sat on the floor in disbelief, she was raggedy and had torn clothes, her hair was a mess and her face has full of mud and dirt from before she was unrecognizable. She smirked and choked out a few laughs before taking off to the woods.
"COME BACK YOU BITCH GUARDS GET HER!" he yelled as she took off faster than light into the dense forest, the guards raced after her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The boys sat, as they played cards it was raining so there were no classes.
Hiei looked out the window.
"What is it?" asked Kurama.
"HN nothing" he said getting up to leave through the door.
"Im going for a walk" he said shutting the door behind him.
"Huh shorty must be getting cabin fever" said Kuwa dealing another game.
"Indeed"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'This is so stupid I hate this fucken shit hole' he thought as he walked in the forest kicking a stone.
"What was that?" he said out loud as he heard it again.
"She can't be that far come on" said a guards voice and the sound of barking broke through the serene air.
"OVER HEAR" said one closer, he thought he could feel their breath on the back of his neck, what was he to do surely if they were demons he would kill them all but humans?
Then something grabbed him and threw him into a bush covering his mouth.
He tried to speak but , " Sh." it said as the guards came closer the dogs sniffed the air, one guard began to search the bush he hid in, " COME ON THIS WAY" said the guard motioning to the opposite direction.
Hiei felt the hand come from covering his mouth, as the figured moved brisk fully away, but Hiei grabbed it by the arm, making it yelp in pain.
He turned to face a muddy human figure, a few inches shorter than himself, He looked tattered and beat.
"Who are you?" He asked tightening his grip, it yelped and pulled away form Hiei's reach.
"Answer me" he said now getting angry.
He sped away, as Hiei followed in pursuit.
'Who is this person' thought Hiei as he ran through the dense brush.
'Why would he save me?' thought Hiei as lost sight of the being.
"DAMNIT!" he said out loud, he took off his bandana and opened his third eye searching for him, and he caught his energy signal and made his way in its direction.
Hiei stopped in front of a tree covered spot and moved the brush out of the way to reveal a brook; he walked closer to it and looked at the glossy pebbles that covered the shore, and then he saw the figure in the middle of the shallow water.
"HEY" he yelled as he ducked his head under water, Hiei got closer, the figure surfaced and made Hiei gasp, in front of him was a bruised tattered Ross.
She had untied her hair and was stroking her fingers through it, her face was badly bruise and barely recognizable, she looked older than before, she had cuts and scraps all through her face.
"Ross" said Hiei in disbelief, she looked up with a glare and pulled her head from under the water, and her hair was fairly longer and met her back now.
She walked out of the shallow water, she was shapelier than before and her clothes were torn to shreds, her knee visible was entirely shattered, and black and blue.
Hiei looked at her in disbelief, "Why the hell did you do that?" he asked her, she looked at him her eyes were a dull gray, she looked cold and distant.
She ripped the pendant from around her neck and placed her tattered hands around each other to form a sword.
"So you want to fight" said Hiei taking out his own Katana.
She nodded as he stood in ready position, she plumaged at him.
All that could be heard was the sound of swords clashing and them they skidded in opposite directions, she breathed hard as well as him.
~ Ross POV~
'Why am I doing this?' I thought as I raced towards him once more, as we began to fight.
'Why don't I just admit that he is stronger and get the hell out of here?" she thought as she blocked one of his blows.
'NO DON'T GIVE HIM THAT SATISFATION ROSS" said voice in my head. We got in to a full fledge fight and I knew I was in it for the long run.
'Damnit'
