~Chapter 2~

 Ross felt the morning sun on her face, she groaned and turned to the over side shielding herself from the rage of daylight.

Something grabbed her shoulder shaking her slightly.

"Go away mom, ten more minutes ok" she whined burying her head into the crook of her arm.

"Wake up slacker" said a harsh woman's voice making Ross snap her eyes open realizing she was not in the comfort of her own bed.

"Huh?" she said raising her head to see Genkai looking down on her Ross had fallen asleep with her head at the foot of Yukina's bed.

"I said wake up, floors need to be cleaned if you're going to earn your keep here" she said throwing Ross a mop.

"Oh… wait where Yukina is?" she asked looking around to reveal an empty bed.

"She's already up, now get going those floors won't clean themselves" said Genkai as she left the room, Ross groaned and stood up stretching.

"Happy Birthday to me" she mumbled as she made her way out to the kitchen.

Kuwa was gobbling down what looked like eggs when Ross entered; the others were in a more proper state of actually chewing the food that lay before them.

Kuwa looked up, "Oh look she's up" he said through a mouth full of food.

Ross raised a brow and went to pour herself a cup of coffee.

"You know that stuff stunts your growth?" said Keiko as Ross took a sip.

"Yeah I know" she said sitting down.

"Yeah well she could use all the shortness she can get to be able to talk to Hiei without paying long distance" said Kuwa as Ross raised a brow.

"Shut up Kuwabara and I don't even know what the hell you just said and besides Hiei is taller than me genius" she said standing up sitting the cup down and grabbing her mop.

"By the way where is he?" she asked as Kuwa shrugged his shoulders and went back to his food.

"He's still with Mukuro we can't get a hold of him" said Botan as Ross nodded slightly in as she began to leave the room, she was suddenly stopped by a lanky tall figure. Ross looked up to see the uniform of the renkai police force.

"Ah!" she said falling on her butt.

"What the hell are the police STILL doing here?" she asked as Kurama helped her up.

"We're looking for clues young lady" said the tall figure making Ross growl, Kurama held her back as she began to lunge at him.

"Don't call me that" she said angrily as he raised a brow, taking off his sun glasses he knelt down closer to get a better view of her. She wore a pair of baggy black pants with a blood red V-neck that hugged her loosely, and her boots her hair lay half bound back in a clip letting some locks fall around her face.

"I remember you, you're that brat that everyone used to talk about, yeah the little blonde girl with that brown thing" he said as Ross moved out of Kurama's grip.

"It's called a tail you ignoramus" she said brushing arms from Kurama's hold.

"Yeah! Man we've been looking for you since as long as I've been on the force… wait why are you here? You're not one of Koenma's men now are you?" he said as Ross crossed her arms.

"Don't you have something to do, like look for clues rookie" she said as he narrowed his eyes.

"Hey! Im no rookie"

"Sorry could have fooled me… rookie"

"Why you-! I should have put you in Makai Jail when I had the chance!"

"Yeah I suppose you should have, but that wouldn't stop me from… calling you ROOKIE!"

"That's it!" he yelled about to spring at Ross as she laughed.

"Sorry dude can't touch me im human, you'd be breaking your own laws…. Now go be a nice porker and go find those clues you keep on talking about." she said as he huffed and straightened his clothes leaving the room in fury.

Ross sighed "Well that was rejuvenating" she said grabbing her mop and leaving the room light footed.

Everyone looked at each other with blank stares.

"You would think she enjoyed that" said Kuwa.

"Uh I think she did" said Yusuke as they all blinked.

~*~*~*~*~

Hiei ran swiftly towards the temple, he had left right after hearing of his sister's attack, it had been a few hours now as he made his way through the dense forest.

'Whoever hurt her will pay' he growled as he increased his speed the temple was only a few miles away.

~*~*~*~*~

Ross swished the soapy mop onto the encrusted marble floor, she turned to her right slightly to an old junky looking stereo kicking it swiftly it turned onto a rock radio station; though a little fuzzy Ross kicked it again making it go better in tune as she started to feel the music she pulled out a crimson bandana tying her hair back she turned up the stereo full-blast and began her ever so lovely task of cleaning the dojo floors.

*SLAM*

Ross darted her head in the direction of a flustered fire demon.

"Oh its you; it's about time" she said lowering the volume of the music as she went back to mopping.

"Where is she" he asked as she shrugged her shoulders, whipping a stray hair.

"I don't know she was gone when I woke up"

"WHAT!!"

"Oh im sure she's around here somewhere, Genkai woke me up so-" Ross turned to where Hiei had stood and found it empty, she shrugged her shoulders and turned the music back up.

Hiei rushed through the door grabbing Kurama by the shirt.

"Oh Hiei hey…" said Kurama with a sweat-drop forming.

"Where is she?" he asked through clenched teeth as Kurama pointed to the back door, a cherry blossom tree lay by it.

"She's fine Hiei" he said as Hiei let go of Kurama staring at the door.

"What… happened?" he asked as Kurama walked beside him.

"We're not sure she was found unconscious with a bad head gash, she won't talk about it" he said as Hiei nodded, as Kurama looked at his old friend.

"You wanna go out there and talk to her?"

Hiei turned around to the front door.

"Hn no" he said as he disappeared out the door.

Yukina looked out to the afternoon sun giving a sigh as she raised her head to the welcoming rays.

"Kazuma is sweet to care so dearly, I really don't know what happened did I do something wrong?" she thought to her self as hurt filled her eyes.

Suddenly a hand clasped her shoulder making her jump she turned around to see Ross smiling at her; she calmed and welcomed her soapy friend to share the sun with her.

Ross looked over at Yukina, she was so innocent so pure how could she think that she could ever do anything wrong, she thought as she brought her hand to the bandana taking it out of her hair her golden locks brushing her porcelain skin.

"You… didn't do anything wrong" she said as Yukina turned to Ross to see her looking out in the distance.

"They won't be coming back," she said as Yukina tilted her head and then looked into the distance as well.

"Ross"

"Hm"

"What's today I forgot" she said in her innocent tone making Ross turn to her friend.

"Please don't say it, I know you know it's my birthday" she said as Yukina giggled.

"Oh so it is, is it?" she said as Ross crossed her arms.

"Yukina don't you dare" Yukina rose and walked into the temple.

"YUKINA!" she yelled, running after her friend as she disappeared into the depths of the shrine.

~*~

"Yukina don't you dare" said Ross as Yukina giggled, she was with the boys now as they stared at the two girls in confusion.

"Don't what my love?" asked Kuwa

"Well its just that today is" Ross went and put her hand over Yukina's mouth.

"Today is nothing really just you know hehe a Saturday" she said as they raised a brow at Ross' peculiar behavior.

Botan walked in with ore in hand.

"Oh hey I wanted to see how you were Yukina that attack was absolutely dreadful" she said as Ross let her hand fall from covering Yukina's mouth.

Yukina just looked at the ground, "Oh im fine" she said looking up and smiling, Botan smiled and pulled her into a tight hug.

"Well I guess you are now with all these strong boys around" she said as Yukina smiled happily.

"Yes it's nice to have company," she said as Botan let her go.

"Yes well I really should get going back on that case, stay safe ok" she said turning to leave.

"Oh yeah Happy Birthday by the way Ross" she said as mounted her ore and sped off, the boys moved from their gaze from Botan to Ross; she dropped her head and sighed.

"Thanks Botan… really"
