~Authoress' note~ Hey sorry I've kinda been out of it and well its Saturday
and I have MAJOR cabin fever, pray for me ^_^
~Chapter 12~
"You mean he came here in human population and tried to steal her? What an idiot!" yelled Koenma as the demon mess was being cleaned up.
"Good thing no one saw" sad Gohan with a sigh of relief.
"Yeah how would we explain that one?" said Goku rubbing the back of his head and chuckling, Chi Chi growled.
"Let me ask you something" said ChiChi standing up in front of the teenage Koenma.
"Why didn't she say anything about this you know warn us? Doesn't she care about our well being? Her boyfriend almost died because she was being selfish I mean doesn't that mean anything?" she asked at the top of her lungs.
"Well.... Maybe she didn't tell you FOR your own good. Ross has been through a lot there's a lot about her I don't even know... and to say she was selfish because she didn't warn you about it well.... No offense maim but she didn't know she was being tracked I mean when I put her under your roof for protection she-?"
"Wait.... You brought her here she didn't come on her own?" said Gotein as they moved their gaze to him.
"Yeah come on Koenma why would you do that you know Ross didn't want to come back" said Kuwa, realizing what he said to late Koenma gave him a death stare.
"Truthfully NO, she didn't want to go back but I had to take half her life power to make her energy signal lower so that she wouldn't have so many attacks on her life, and put her under a safe house- or a house where a larger energy masks she her own, so that demons wouldn't find out where the stone was." said Koenma as they stared at him in shock.
"Yo...you did what you mean she's actually stronger than that?" said Vegeta surprised.
"Very... that's only her human energy" he said as the whole room stared at him.
"So that's why she doesn't fight" said Gohan now understanding the situation.
"Yes, that and she doesn't want to put you guys in danger" he said as they all stared and nodded.
"I mean... she almost beat Trunks at the M.A tournament and on half her power.... GEEZE who the hell is this girl?" said Gotein looking over at Ross sleeping form; she still had the respirator pumping air into her system.
"There's a lot more to it than that; your daughter isn't who she's been saying she is.... she's done a lot of things she's not proud of and for punishment she became apart of the Renkai team or a cop for Makai along with the boys... she's one of the most cunning demons I've ever come across; she's a good actress when she wants to be and im sure that's what fooled you into thinking she was nothing more than a normal teenager." Said Koenma as her they stared at him.
Ross groaned and moved her arm, yelping in pain from the stiffened joint.
They went to go inside the room, but was pushed aside by a few doctors as the door closed in front of them... with the awakening Ross inside.
~*~
"So Ross has a boyfriend, that's nuts" said Yusuke with a chuckled which received him a slap from Keiko who had joined the boys a few minutes after they entered the waiting room along with the other girls.
"OW what was that for?" asked Yusuke rubbing his cheek.
"Stop being so impolite" she said glaring at him.
"Please Keiko she tried to kill you once remember" he said glaring at her.
She blushed, "yeah but she didn't mean to" she said as everyone looked at the feuding couple.
"How can you not try to kill someone" said Yusuke yelling at her.
*SLAP*
"SHUT UP YOU JERKYOU KNOW IT WASN"T HER FAULT!" she yelled at him as they all stared at them with blank stares.
"She tried to kill you?" asked Krillen staring at Keiko.
"Now see what you did Yusuke you went and got her in trouble you jerk" she said about to slap him again-
"Excuse me" said the doctor stopping Keiko in mid slap.
"Yes" said Gohan standing.
"The young lady is up if you wanna see her," he said and before he could finish his sentence half the crowd was already making their way to the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ross stared out the window, not being able to look at the people entering her little hole on the wall.
"I see you found the necklace" she said still looking out at the snow covered streets.
"Actually I think it came and found you" said Gohan with a chuckle.
"Hn... tends to do that with me" she said not looking over at the large crowd accumulating.
"Trunks ok?" she asked
"Yeah... he's ok" said Gohan as she sighed in relief.
"Ah... I see you're up" said Koenma making Ross look over at the toddler.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" she asked angrily glaring daggers at him.
"Now Ross that's now way for a lady to be talking" said Kuwa with a chuckle.
"You wanna find out what flavor the floor is? Keep talking" she said angrily, Kuwa gulped.
"You didn't answer my question" she said going back to Koenma.
"Im here because you lost the necklace"
"Oh lets just blame it on me shall we, Ross seems to be the problem causer in everyone's life lately" she said
"Stop with the self pity... you know damn well why im here you went against the demon code."
"Oh demon's have a code now... that's new I thought they were just here for human population control" she said.
"Ah I see your back to normal... and you know that there is a demon code"
"Yeah but im not a demon so I couldn't have broken a code that I don't have to abide by" she said
"Oh so if your not a human nor a demon what are you?" said Koenma as she looked out the window.
"Im a Space Filler that's what.... Just here to occupy empty space" she said as they looked at her with a bit of sympathy.
"Look its great that you guys are here and all but Im leaving after im discharged" she said.
"Why?" asked Gohan.
"Why" she said looking over at him.
"Because I promised myself I wouldn't get any of you involved in this and what happened? Trunks almost died because of some weak class demon... no I can't let that happen sorry" she said looking at her family and then out the window.
"You're growing soft woman" said Hiei making her looking over at him.
"I am NOT growing soft He" she said as he smirked.
"Then why do you care what happens to a bunch of pathetic humans?" he asked as she gritted her teeth.
"Because there my family it's my duty if not to be a good daughter then to at least protect them from people like you" she said as he smirked.
"Yes and yet im here and they're still alive what irony" he said as she sat up a bit she rolled her shoulder.
"Yes it is irony isn't it maybe you're the one who's growing soft, I see Kuwa doesn't have any fresh bruises huh now I wonder why that is" she said smirking.
"You wait till you get out of that bed you still owe me a fight" he said as she rolled her eyes.
"Yeah and the toddler still owes me my life back but you don't see that happening now do you" she said as Koenma glared at her.
"Shut up, if it weren't for me you'd be in Makai Jail right now" he said as she smirked
"If it saves me from seeing you I'll take it any day" she said as they boys chuckled.
"I can have you arrested again" he said fuming.
"Arrested?" said Goku as she glanced over a there dad and then back to Koenma.
"Thanks" she said as he grinned.
"No problem... now which one would it be; third... fourth time you've been taken in custody?"
"Seventh... if your not counting the ningen's and their pathetic excuse for being behind bars" she said as Kurama folded his arms.
"You threw a guy off a 2-story roof" he said as she moved her attention to him.
"He hit on me! Besides I only broke 3 of his bones he's fine I mean really he's doing great in rehab" she said grinning.
"You... threw a guy off a building?" said Gotein his mouth hanging open.
Ross rubbed the back of her head and chuckled a bit.
"Besides" said Ross looking over at Koenma.
"If you haven't noticed my energy is coming back... and I don't think your guards want to die any time soon so I suggest you don't sick your mindless brutes on me anytime soon... you know not until you take the coward's way out and steal part of my energy again" she said glaring at Koenma.
"Let's not even talk about the coward's way out Ross"
"OH AND WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN YOU DIAPER WEARING FREAK!" she yelled clenching her fists, her heart rate beeped noisily in the room.
"You're taking the coward's way out by leaving when things get tough" said Koenma as she narrowed her eyes.
"You're right" she said relaxing.
"What?" he said surprised.
"I said you're right... I am a coward... so if you don't mind leaving me to sulk in my own defeats I would really appreciate it" she said looking over at him.
"Uh...."
"If you're worried about the stone I don't plan on leaving until tomorrow...besides I can't even sit up rather run away" she said as he looked at her unsure.
"You guys stay with her tonight understand" said Koenma, the boys nodded and Koenma was gone.
"You're... not really going to leave again are you?" said Gotein.
She shrugged. "I don't know maybe... it would be the best decision... if I were to stay we would have more problems than good... and well im not exactly the best loved person in either world so... heh heh lets just say if word gets out we're all screwed" she said.
"Are you really... a criminal?" said Krillen surprised.
She looked over at him. "Yeah... I guess I am" she said.
"You guess" said Yusuke
"Shut up" she yelled at him.
"Make yourself useful and get something to eat or something you look see- through" she said as Kurama chuckled.
"What a friend you are"
"you know it" she said grinning.
"Yeah im gonna go get some grub... you want anything" he asked as she smiled.
"yeah a salad im starving"
The saiyans looked over at her in surprise.
"What im sure we'll have a pig out later but want a salad come on now" she said smiling.
"Yeah alright whatever" said Kuwa as they other boys stood to get up.
"Hiei wait can you stay here for a minute I want to tell you something" she said as Hiei stopped from his move for the door.
He nodded and walked over to her bed as the others left.
"Look...." She said looking away from him now sitting in a chair by her.
"I need to apologize about acting like such a bitch" she said as he looked at her surprised.
"I know you were only doing it for my own good and all and well, you deserve more appreciation than that.... It's not your fault" she said as he just stared at the outline of her face.
"Hn"
She looked over at him and smiled.
"You have no idea how much I miss that damn trademark of yours" she said laughing at how stupid she was acting, he grinned.
"Whatever woman" he said as she smiled up at him... there eyes connected for a second then she tore away.
"Is Trunks ok" she said as he nodded faintly.
"He'll live... he was discharged yesterday" he said as Ross smiled.
"Good" she said as the boys bombarded the room with arms full of junk.
"Yeah real food" she said taking the salad and munching down.
"What?" she asked her mouth half full with salad.
"Movie time!" said Yusuke holding up a tape.
"What is it?" she asked polishing off the salad.
"Cabin Fever" he said as she shook her head.
"How ironic," she said as they chuckled.
"Hey we're going to take off" said Gotien hugging his sister as well as her other brother and dad.
"Yeah alright get some sleep" she said smiling as the rest of the group hugged her.
"Its good to know you guys care really" she said with a smile.
"Are you really going to be gone tomorrow?" said Gotein.
She looked away... there was an awkward silence.
'They need you' echoed through her mind as she stared at the fuzz on the t.v
"No... I'll stay" she said looking back at him as he smiled.
"Good... cause I would hate to tear this world apart again trying to find you" he said as she smiled knowing he meant it.
"Thanks... but can you do me a favor for me" she said as he nodded.
"Spend the night at Trunks' tonight I think.... He might be feeling a bit down and well im sure you were going to anyway" she said as he grinned.
"You know me too well... don't worry I'll save him from Vegeta's raft" he said as she smiled.
"Alright thanks bro" she said as they went to leave but was stopped by Genkai's form in the doorway, along with Yukina behind her.
"Oh boy" said Ross rolling her eyes.
"So I see you finally woke up dimwit" said Genkai as Ross sighed.
"Yes grandma my eyes are open so that must mean... OMG Im alive!" she said sarcastically, receiving herself a slap from Gekai.
"Don't talk back to me slacker" she said as Ross rubbed her cheek.
"What did you do that for?" she asked s Genkai frowned.
"You forgot everything I taught you" she said as Ross sighed.
"Yeah well sorry must have slipped my mind" she said getting another slap.
"OW STOP SLAPPING ME!" she said as Genkai smirked.
"Then stop being a wimp and start fighting" she said and with that she turned to leave only leaving Yukina in the doorway.
"Hey... Yukina" she said as Yukina went and hugged her best frined tightly.
"Yukina you're... cutting... off... my air supply" she said as Yukina let go and blushed.
"Sorry" she said as Ross grinned.
"You are staying for our movie fest aren't you?" she asked as Ross smiled.
"Yes of course" she said as Ross's smile turned into the famous Son grin.
~* Morning*~
Trunks walked down the hospital halls along with his parents and Ross' family. They were worried that they would find the room empty, as they increased their speed down the hall.
They entered the room to find.... Ross asleep in bed Yukina curled on the other side, Kuwa in the chair by the bed, Yusuke and Keiko passed out on the other bed, Kurama asleep in the chair in the corner a blanket draped over him Botan asleep on the floor by him while Hiei was asleep on the window sill.
"Well... I guess we were worried about nothing" said Gohan with a grin, Ross yawned she stretched a bit and looked over to the doorway... to see her family looking at the crazed scene... food was everywhere and a stack of videos laid in the corner.
"Hey" she said as Trunks was the first to enter, she looked a bit uneasy as he came over to her.
He raised a brow...
"What's wrong with you?" he asked as she sighed.
"You should be angry with me" she said staring at nothing.
"Why would I be angry, it's not your fault" he said as she sighed.
"It's my fault for not to telling you about my association with the demon world" she said as he gave out a sigh.
"Yeah Gotein filled me in... but I mean you were just protecting us... right" he said as she looked at him.
"It was my intentions... but obviously it didn't work out now did it" she said trying to hold back her guilty tears.
"Hey hey" he said leaning down.
"Don't go getting all girly on me" he said as she laughed.
"Yeah... alright I'll try to decrease the estrogen attacks" she said as her friends awoke.
"So.... When are they letting you out?" Trunks asked as she sighed.
"I don't know I have to be able to stand and I haven't had the chance yet... im sure they'll out on bed rest after that" she said as Trunks nodded.
"Maybe I can help with that" said Koenma popped out of no where.
"GEEZE KOENMA STOP DOING THAT" yelled Yusuke a bit flustered.
"Sorry.... But as I was saying I think I might be able to help you with your problem" he said as Ross sighed.
"Oh boy this is like making a bet with the devil... what is it?" she asked.
"Well... if you're willing I could decrease the amount of damage on your back, not completely I might add... but I can also give you the remainder of your power back which should help you heal quicker" he said
She raised a brow. "What's the catch?" she said as Koenma grinned.
"Well you'll have to join the team again" he said as she clenched her teeth.
"No way" she said.
"Well you know that it's going to take you a little more than a year to go back to the way that you were before the attack , and you won't have your power back either and im sure that every demon will know where you are before then" he said as she growled.
"I hate you" she said as he smiled.
"Then it's agreed..." he said as Ross sighed.
"One condition" she said as his attention averted to her.
"I want my location and file disclosed" she said as Koenma nodded in agreement.
~*~
Ross lay in bed tired from the energy transfer she had just received.
"Well miss" said the doctor in front of her.
"it looks like you're condition has increased greatly, you should be able to go home tomorrow... but the fact that your heart is still acting rather strange bothers me" he said as Ross sighed.
"Sir.... I have a heart condition" she said as he looked at her surprised.
"Really well your parent's haven't said anything"
"That's because they don't know and I rather they didn't know so... look im on medicine for it and the reason im its acting rather strange is because I missed a few days of my medication" she said as he sighed.
"You know you shouldn't hide something like that from your family.
"Yeah well... I shouldn't do a lot of things but it doesn't stop me from doing them" she said as he sighed.
"Very well then... get some sleep then" he said as she nodded, happy that she was alone for the first time in ages.
"Freedom..." she thought as she sighed taking out her journal and turning on the lamp by her bed.
- I have been suckered into another agreement once more. I can't help thinking that this is entirely my fault.... Along with everything else that's happened lately, I mean if it weren't for me lying to my family in the first place maybe none of this would have happened ... maybe if I had never stayed longer than I needed to this would have never happened.... Maybe if I hadn't been so selfish as to not tell my family I was leaving for the evening this wouldn't have happened.
I keep on thinking of all the as ifs and what ifs and well I have come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter how many reasons I can find out for why this happened that it still happened and would have happened sooner or later... I only wish that I could take back all the pain I've caused on my selfish acts.
That dream.... It spooked me... I know that Im Rosa and I know that she must have created me for a reason... but maybe on the other hand maybe I as just as selfish in my other life as I am now??
I wish I didn't have to lie to everyone about this and I feel as if no one knows the real me and it drives me nuts. I just want someone to know and love me for who I am even if I have done a lot of terrible thing and even if Im not the best looking or I can't shoot a gun straight... I just want someone to understand me... And I worry that, that someone will never come.
But then again maybe this is just another selfish act.-
Ross laid the book back into her pack and sighed... she closed her eyes her mind full of questions to why 'they needed her' her eyes slowly shut pulling her into a dreamless night...
~ So what did you think??? PLEASE REVIEW! ~
~Chapter 12~
"You mean he came here in human population and tried to steal her? What an idiot!" yelled Koenma as the demon mess was being cleaned up.
"Good thing no one saw" sad Gohan with a sigh of relief.
"Yeah how would we explain that one?" said Goku rubbing the back of his head and chuckling, Chi Chi growled.
"Let me ask you something" said ChiChi standing up in front of the teenage Koenma.
"Why didn't she say anything about this you know warn us? Doesn't she care about our well being? Her boyfriend almost died because she was being selfish I mean doesn't that mean anything?" she asked at the top of her lungs.

No offense maim but she didn't know she was being tracked I mean when I put her under your roof for protection she-?"
"Wait.... You brought her here she didn't come on her own?" said Gotein as they moved their gaze to him.
"Yeah come on Koenma why would you do that you know Ross didn't want to come back" said Kuwa, realizing what he said to late Koenma gave him a death stare.
"Truthfully NO, she didn't want to go back but I had to take half her life power to make her energy signal lower so that she wouldn't have so many attacks on her life, and put her under a safe house- or a house where a larger energy masks she her own, so that demons wouldn't find out where the stone was." said Koenma as they stared at him in shock.
"Yo...you did what you mean she's actually stronger than that?" said Vegeta surprised.
"Very... that's only her human energy" he said as the whole room stared at him.
"So that's why she doesn't fight" said Gohan now understanding the situation.
"Yes, that and she doesn't want to put you guys in danger" he said as they all stared and nodded.
"I mean... she almost beat Trunks at the M.A tournament and on half her power.... GEEZE who the hell is this girl?" said Gotein looking over at Ross sleeping form; she still had the respirator pumping air into her system.
"There's a lot more to it than that; your daughter isn't who she's been saying she is.... she's done a lot of things she's not proud of and for punishment she became apart of the Renkai team or a cop for Makai along with the boys... she's one of the most cunning demons I've ever come across; she's a good actress when she wants to be and im sure that's what fooled you into thinking she was nothing more than a normal teenager." Said Koenma as her they stared at him.
Ross groaned and moved her arm, yelping in pain from the stiffened joint.
They went to go inside the room, but was pushed aside by a few doctors as the door closed in front of them... with the awakening Ross inside.

"So Ross has a boyfriend, that's nuts" said Yusuke with a chuckled which received him a slap from Keiko who had joined the boys a few minutes after they entered the waiting room along with the other girls.
"OW what was that for?" asked Yusuke rubbing his cheek.
"Stop being so impolite" she said glaring at him.
"Please Keiko she tried to kill you once remember" he said glaring at her.
She blushed, "yeah but she didn't mean to" she said as everyone looked at the feuding couple.
"How can you not try to kill someone" said Yusuke yelling at her.
*SLAP*
"SHUT UP YOU JERKYOU KNOW IT WASN"T HER FAULT!" she yelled at him as they all stared at them with blank stares.
"She tried to kill you?" asked Krillen staring at Keiko.
"Now see what you did Yusuke you went and got her in trouble you jerk" she said about to slap him again-
"Excuse me" said the doctor stopping Keiko in mid slap.
"Yes" said Gohan standing.
"The young lady is up if you wanna see her," he said and before he could finish his sentence half the crowd was already making their way to the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ross stared out the window, not being able to look at the people entering her little hole on the wall.
"I see you found the necklace" she said still looking out at the snow covered streets.
"Actually I think it came and found you" said Gohan with a chuckle.
"Hn... tends to do that with me" she said not looking over at the large crowd accumulating.
"Trunks ok?" she asked
"Yeah... he's ok" said Gohan as she sighed in relief.
"Ah... I see you're up" said Koenma making Ross look over at the toddler.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" she asked angrily glaring daggers at him.
"Now Ross that's now way for a lady to be talking" said Kuwa with a chuckle.
"You wanna find out what flavor the floor is? Keep talking" she said angrily, Kuwa gulped.
"You didn't answer my question" she said going back to Koenma.
"Im here because you lost the necklace"
"Oh lets just blame it on me shall we, Ross seems to be the problem causer in everyone's life lately" she said
"Stop with the self pity... you know damn well why im here you went against the demon code."
"Oh demon's have a code now... that's new I thought they were just here for human population control" she said.
"Ah I see your back to normal... and you know that there is a demon code"
"Yeah but im not a demon so I couldn't have broken a code that I don't have to abide by" she said
"Oh so if your not a human nor a demon what are you?" said Koenma as she looked out the window.
"Im a Space Filler that's what.... Just here to occupy empty space" she said as they looked at her with a bit of sympathy.
"Look its great that you guys are here and all but Im leaving after im discharged" she said.
"Why?" asked Gohan.
"Why" she said looking over at him.
"Because I promised myself I wouldn't get any of you involved in this and what happened? Trunks almost died because of some weak class demon... no I can't let that happen sorry" she said looking at her family and then out the window.
"You're growing soft woman" said Hiei making her looking over at him.
"I am NOT growing soft He" she said as he smirked.
"Then why do you care what happens to a bunch of pathetic humans?" he asked as she gritted her teeth.
"Because there my family it's my duty if not to be a good daughter then to at least protect them from people like you" she said as he smirked.
"Yes and yet im here and they're still alive what irony" he said as she sat up a bit she rolled her shoulder.
"Yes it is irony isn't it maybe you're the one who's growing soft, I see Kuwa doesn't have any fresh bruises huh now I wonder why that is" she said smirking.

"I can have you arrested again" he said fuming.
"Arrested?" said Goku as she glanced over a there dad and then back to Koenma.
"Thanks" she said as he grinned.
"No problem... now which one would it be; third... fourth time you've been taken in custody?"
"Seventh... if your not counting the ningen's and their pathetic excuse for being behind bars" she said as Kurama folded his arms.
"You threw a guy off a 2-story roof" he said as she moved her attention to him.
"He hit on me! Besides I only broke 3 of his bones he's fine I mean really he's doing great in rehab" she said grinning.
"You... threw a guy off a building?" said Gotein his mouth hanging open.
Ross rubbed the back of her head and chuckled a bit.
"Besides" said Ross looking over at Koenma.
"If you haven't noticed my energy is coming back... and I don't think your guards want to die any time soon so I suggest you don't sick your mindless brutes on me anytime soon... you know not until you take the coward's way out and steal part of my energy again" she said glaring at Koenma.
"Let's not even talk about the coward's way out Ross"
"OH AND WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN YOU DIAPER WEARING FREAK!" she yelled clenching her fists, her heart rate beeped noisily in the room.
"You're taking the coward's way out by leaving when things get tough" said Koenma as she narrowed her eyes.
"You're right" she said relaxing.
"What?" he said surprised.
"I said you're right... I am a coward... so if you don't mind leaving me to sulk in my own defeats I would really appreciate it" she said looking over at him.

"You're... not really going to leave again are you?" said Gotein.
She shrugged. "I don't know maybe... it would be the best decision... if I were to stay we would have more problems than good... and well im not exactly the best loved person in either world so... heh heh lets just say if word gets out we're all screwed" she said.
"Are you really... a criminal?" said Krillen surprised.
She looked over at him. "Yeah... I guess I am" she said.
"You guess" said Yusuke
"Shut up" she yelled at him.
"Make yourself useful and get something to eat or something you look see- through" she said as Kurama chuckled.
"What a friend you are"
"you know it" she said grinning.
"Yeah im gonna go get some grub... you want anything" he asked as she smiled.
"yeah a salad im starving"
The saiyans looked over at her in surprise.
"What im sure we'll have a pig out later but want a salad come on now" she said smiling.
"Yeah alright whatever" said Kuwa as they other boys stood to get up.
"Hiei wait can you stay here for a minute I want to tell you something" she said as Hiei stopped from his move for the door.
He nodded and walked over to her bed as the others left.
"Look...." She said looking away from him now sitting in a chair by her.
"I need to apologize about acting like such a bitch" she said as he looked at her surprised.

"Yeah real food" she said taking the salad and munching down.
"What?" she asked her mouth half full with salad.
"Movie time!" said Yusuke holding up a tape.
"What is it?" she asked polishing off the salad.
"Cabin Fever" he said as she shook her head.
"How ironic," she said as they chuckled.
"Hey we're going to take off" said Gotien hugging his sister as well as her other brother and dad.
"Yeah alright get some sleep" she said smiling as the rest of the group hugged her.
"Its good to know you guys care really" she said with a smile.
"Are you really going to be gone tomorrow?" said Gotein.
She looked away... there was an awkward silence.
'They need you' echoed through her mind as she stared at the fuzz on the t.v
"No... I'll stay" she said looking back at him as he smiled.
"Good... cause I would hate to tear this world apart again trying to find you" he said as she smiled knowing he meant it.
"Thanks... but can you do me a favor for me" she said as he nodded.
"Spend the night at Trunks' tonight I think.... He might be feeling a bit down and well im sure you were going to anyway" she said as he grinned.
"You know me too well... don't worry I'll save him from Vegeta's raft" he said as she smiled.
"Alright thanks bro" she said as they went to leave but was stopped by Genkai's form in the doorway, along with Yukina behind her.
"Oh boy" said Ross rolling her eyes.
"So I see you finally woke up dimwit" said Genkai as Ross sighed.
"Yes grandma my eyes are open so that must mean... OMG Im alive!" she said sarcastically, receiving herself a slap from Gekai.
"Don't talk back to me slacker" she said as Ross rubbed her cheek.
"What did you do that for?" she asked s Genkai frowned.
"You forgot everything I taught you" she said as Ross sighed.
"Yeah well sorry must have slipped my mind" she said getting another slap.
"OW STOP SLAPPING ME!" she said as Genkai smirked.
"Then stop being a wimp and start fighting" she said and with that she turned to leave only leaving Yukina in the doorway.
"Hey... Yukina" she said as Yukina went and hugged her best frined tightly.
"Yukina you're... cutting... off... my air supply" she said as Yukina let go and blushed.
"Sorry" she said as Ross grinned.
"You are staying for our movie fest aren't you?" she asked as Ross smiled.
"Yes of course" she said as Ross's smile turned into the famous Son grin.
~* Morning*~
Trunks walked down the hospital halls along with his parents and Ross' family. They were worried that they would find the room empty, as they increased their speed down the hall.
They entered the room to find.... Ross asleep in bed Yukina curled on the other side, Kuwa in the chair by the bed, Yusuke and Keiko passed out on the other bed, Kurama asleep in the chair in the corner a blanket draped over him Botan asleep on the floor by him while Hiei was asleep on the window sill.
"Well... I guess we were worried about nothing" said Gohan with a grin, Ross yawned she stretched a bit and looked over to the doorway... to see her family looking at the crazed scene... food was everywhere and a stack of videos laid in the corner.
"Hey" she said as Trunks was the first to enter, she looked a bit uneasy as he came over to her.
He raised a brow...
"What's wrong with you?" he asked as she sighed.
"You should be angry with me" she said staring at nothing.
"Why would I be angry, it's not your fault" he said as she sighed.
"It's my fault for not to telling you about my association with the demon world" she said as he gave out a sigh.
"Yeah Gotein filled me in... but I mean you were just protecting us... right" he said as she looked at him.
"It was my intentions... but obviously it didn't work out now did it" she said trying to hold back her guilty tears.
"Hey hey" he said leaning down.
"Don't go getting all girly on me" he said as she laughed.
"Yeah... alright I'll try to decrease the estrogen attacks" she said as her friends awoke.
"So.... When are they letting you out?" Trunks asked as she sighed.
"I don't know I have to be able to stand and I haven't had the chance yet... im sure they'll out on bed rest after that" she said as Trunks nodded.
"Maybe I can help with that" said Koenma popped out of no where.
"GEEZE KOENMA STOP DOING THAT" yelled Yusuke a bit flustered.
"Sorry.... But as I was saying I think I might be able to help you with your problem" he said as Ross sighed.
"Oh boy this is like making a bet with the devil... what is it?" she asked.
"Well... if you're willing I could decrease the amount of damage on your back, not completely I might add... but I can also give you the remainder of your power back which should help you heal quicker" he said
She raised a brow. "What's the catch?" she said as Koenma grinned.
"Well you'll have to join the team again" he said as she clenched her teeth.
"No way" she said.
"Well you know that it's going to take you a little more than a year to go back to the way that you were before the attack , and you won't have your power back either and im sure that every demon will know where you are before then" he said as she growled.
"I hate you" she said as he smiled.
"Then it's agreed..." he said as Ross sighed.
"One condition" she said as his attention averted to her.
"I want my location and file disclosed" she said as Koenma nodded in agreement.
~*~
Ross lay in bed tired from the energy transfer she had just received.
"Well miss" said the doctor in front of her.
"it looks like you're condition has increased greatly, you should be able to go home tomorrow... but the fact that your heart is still acting rather strange bothers me" he said as Ross sighed.
"Sir.... I have a heart condition" she said as he looked at her surprised.
"Really well your parent's haven't said anything"
"That's because they don't know and I rather they didn't know so... look im on medicine for it and the reason im its acting rather strange is because I missed a few days of my medication" she said as he sighed.
"You know you shouldn't hide something like that from your family.
"Yeah well... I shouldn't do a lot of things but it doesn't stop me from doing them" she said as he sighed.
"Very well then... get some sleep then" he said as she nodded, happy that she was alone for the first time in ages.
"Freedom..." she thought as she sighed taking out her journal and turning on the lamp by her bed.
- I have been suckered into another agreement once more. I can't help thinking that this is entirely my fault.... Along with everything else that's happened lately, I mean if it weren't for me lying to my family in the first place maybe none of this would have happened ... maybe if I had never stayed longer than I needed to this would have never happened.... Maybe if I hadn't been so selfish as to not tell my family I was leaving for the evening this wouldn't have happened.
I keep on thinking of all the as ifs and what ifs and well I have come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter how many reasons I can find out for why this happened that it still happened and would have happened sooner or later... I only wish that I could take back all the pain I've caused on my selfish acts.
That dream.... It spooked me... I know that Im Rosa and I know that she must have created me for a reason... but maybe on the other hand maybe I as just as selfish in my other life as I am now??
I wish I didn't have to lie to everyone about this and I feel as if no one knows the real me and it drives me nuts. I just want someone to know and love me for who I am even if I have done a lot of terrible thing and even if Im not the best looking or I can't shoot a gun straight... I just want someone to understand me... And I worry that, that someone will never come.
But then again maybe this is just another selfish act.-
Ross laid the book back into her pack and sighed... she closed her eyes her mind full of questions to why 'they needed her' her eyes slowly shut pulling her into a dreamless night...
