'Damnit' thought Ross as she hid in a dark alley; she held her breath as Gotein passed it, she breathed slightly only to see a dark shadow creeping up the wall.

'Damnit what the hell am I going to do, Sh. calm down Ross now relax' she thought as she closed her eyes hugging the wall,

'Think, what did Bruce say? focus, FOCUS' she thought, and her shadow shrunk, Vegeta turned a corner to the dark alley.

He looked down frowning he went in the opposite direction.

"MEOW"

"She said she was going to be here" said Yusuke looking out the window in the dark.

"Im sure she's fine detective" Said Hiei reassuring him, though he felt a bit worried he would never admit it.

- Scratch, Scratch-

"Ok and what the hell is that?" asked Yusuke as Kuwa opened the door.

"Uh Kurama do you have a cat?" asked Kuwa as he looked down at a calico cat with bright blue eyes.

"No" said Kurama as the cat jumped into the room.

"Well you do now" said Yusuke as he watched the cat jump up on a stool facing them.

"Aw. it's cute" Said Kuwa going to it.

Then to there surprise the cat began to transform and turned into Ross, they looked with there mouths hanging open.

She shook her head.

"Man I hate that" She said holding the side of her head she turned to their gaze as they stared in amazement.

"What I said I would meet you here" She said now on her feet.

"WHEN DID YOU LEARN TO TURN INTO A CAT?" asked Yusuke with his mouth wide open.

"Uh I don't know a year ago or so, a friend taught me" She said turning her back to them.

"You know that's a rare gift, usually only animal spirits posses it along with transformers of course and even then it is quite rare to be able to transform like that" said Kurama she stopped quickly at the words animal spirit and went on with her work.

"Well if you haven't notice im not exactly the most normal thing on this planet" She said turning slightly and then sighing.

"Im going to bed" She said going up the stairs.

"Goodnight" said Kurama she waved her hand.

"Night" she said disappearing up the stairs.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

- Knock-

Kurama opened to the door, to see "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" yelled the group of friends.

"Merry Christmas please come in" he said as they entered sheltering themselves from the cold and snow.

He closed the door behind him.

"So where is the shrimp?" asked Kuwa, Kurama sighed.

"God only knows, and Ross won't come out of her room" said Kurama as Yukina smiled.

"I can get her" she said going up the stairs, the others conversed.

-Knock-

"It's Yukina" She said to the door, no answer, she tried to open the door but it was locked.

"Please open the door" begged Yukina but there was no answer.

She sighed and went back to the party.

~ Inside~

Ross at on the window sill, she watched the snow fall peacefully to the ground, silent yet beautiful.

"Hmm" She said closing her eyes.

~ Day dream~

"Come on Ross Santa came" said Gotein pulling his sister to the tree; she dove into the gifts along with him.

"Come on you guys leave a few for us" said Gohan with a chuckle, Ross smiled and brought him a present.

"Her Brother She said in a tot's voice, he took it and plopped her in his lap, opening his he smiled.

"Oh look you even smiled for this one" he said ruffling her hair," Thanks squirt" he said as she smiled a toothy grin with no bare teeth.

"Here" he said handing her a large package she looked up at him and then tore into the paper, his mom looked at him with curiosity.

"Cool" said Ross pulling out a hand made quilt.

"That was dad's well I figured since you were getting older it was about time I gave it to you" said Gohan as she hugged him.

"You're the best" she said as he smiled down at the pint sized child.

~ End of Dream~

Ross sighed at the thought and just about jumped out of her skin when Hiei jumped into the window.

"Geeze you frightened me" She said as he smirked.

"Than my plan worked" he said as she smiled weakly.

He looked at her curiously, "Why aren't you downstairs with the others I thought that this holiday was a human tradition" he said as she looked up.

"Yeah well I have no reason to, I haven't celebrated Christmas in over 5 years" She said getting up from her seat.

"Is there a reason?" he asked as she looked around.

"Yes, but I don't feel like sharing it" She said turning around and rummaging through her bag.

" Its just" She said turning around, he knew she would give in he smirked slightly.

" I haven't had anyone to celebrate with and its kinda weird for me you know" she said as he walked over to her.

"Trust me, even if I did like this holiday I would be alone too" he said not the close from her she felt a flush coming on.

"Well than why don't we get out of here and celebrate being alone together" She said grabbing his hand and jumping out the window.
