Chapter 5

"Hey Ross" came a voice ringing through the serene air. Ross opened her eyes from her moment of paradise to see Yusuke below her on the beach waving his communicator.

"Yeah what is it???" she asked jumping down to the sandy beach.

"Koenma says he thinks he has a lead on the Yukina case, we gotta go back to the temple" he said as he began to leave, Ross froze remembering the vision she had, had before, but sighed and followed.

back at the temple

"So what is this lead you have about my dove?" asked Kuwa bringing Yukina close to him, only to receive a growl from her 'missing' brother.

Ross glanced over at the sound remembering the night before she could feel her cheeks turn a shade of pink.

"Yes well, we believe by the form of attack, and description of the intruder, which included lilac eyes and a dagger left at the crime which has an engraved rose in the blade that well it sounds like Rosa" said Koenma as he turned to Yukina for her to nod to his description.

"But… that's impossible my sister is dead there's no way that-" Kurama said scratching his head, as Elaine threw Ross a quick glance.

"uh… who?" Ross asked trying to act dumb.

"Who… Rosa, you mean you don't know who Rosa is… she's even more famous than Yoko, she was Yoko's younger sister and his partner in crime, she's known quite well for being merciless,  dangerously cunning  and one of the most beu-" Koenma stopped after hearing a low growl from Hiei's direction.

"Uh..." he started feeling a little uneasy under Hiei's icy glare.

"Well in any case along for being known for other things she has a remarkable voice that can memorize any creature if she feels like taking their will. That's what we think might have happened with Yukina" said Koenma as Yukina shifted he feet.

"So she's like a siren?" asked Yusuke, Koenma raised a brow

"Uh no… no she's a mix-br-"

"I don't suggest you call her that" said Kurama glaring at Koenma.

"Oh uh right well, we think she's the only one that could have been involved in such a case, not to mention her dagger" Koenma pulls the dagger from a fine crimson silk handkerchief  "is well, its well known as you know" he said giving it to Kurama who examined it.

"Yes well this is hers" he said as beams of light reflected off the fine steel.

"Yes well she's dead" said Hiei glaring at Koenma.

"So she couldn't have done it" he said as Koenma cleared his throat.

"Actually, we can't find her re-" Koenma was slammed into the opposing wall, Hiei burying his blade into Koenma's neck.

"YOU WHAT!" he screamed about to kill Koenma.

"Hiei calm down…" said Yusuke as Hiei  growled, " No I will not calm down damnit, you mean to tell me you can't find her in spirit world!" he yelled as Koenma nodded.

Hiei dropped Koenma and clenched his fists.

"Is there a fucken reason why you wait till now to say something?" he asked as Koenma reestablished his breathing.

"Well yeah I mean what did you think I would say, do you know how much controversy that wo-"

"Shut up" said Hiei leaving through the window, leaving Koenma on the ground.

"You must excuse him, you know how he is about the subject" said Kurama as Koenma nodded.

"But I too would like to know why you didn't tell me, if any one?" Kurama asked as Elaine stared at Ross who was leaning against the wall her eyes closes; she looked similar to Hiei when he was deep in thought.

"Im… im sorry Kurama I thought it was best for everyone" Koenma said as Kurama sighed.

"I should have expected something like this from her" he said leaving the room with Elaine as Yusuke and Kuwa stared into space.

"But wait… so you're saying she's like Kurama she took hold of a human body or something" said Yusuke as Ross eyes popped open.

"Well that's one possibility… look there's a lot more to this case than this… it's… complicated, just watch Yukina, I don't know why Rosa would choose Yukina as a target, but we should still be on watch" he said as Kuwa and Yusuke nodded.

Ross leaned against the wall deep in thought

'Rosa you bitch what the fuck have you done' thought Ross as she felt a tugging at her mind knowing Hiei was around didn't make her feel safe thinking such thoughts.

'But… what would she want with Yukina?'

Hiei sat in a tree deep in thought, 'what the fuck… now but I thought she was dead… im in love with Ross… I can't love two people at once, but. But she said to move on didn't she'

Hiei grumbled as he heard footsteps advancing on him.

"What do you want fox?" he asked as Kurama came to sit below the tree.

"Do you believe this… do you think it was her?" Kurama asked leaning against the tree as Hiei jumped down and aced Kurama.

"I don't know and even if she did what the fuck would she want anyway? It doesn't sound like her at all" Hiei said as Kurama nodded slowly.

"Yes I know it really concerns me, we both know what will happen if she WERE to come back" said Kurama a hint of gold in his eyes.

Hiei nodded.

"Ross" said Elaine knocking on Ross bedroom door only to find it ajar and Ross going through a large trunk in the middle of the room.

"Uh…. Yeah come in" she said going back to throwing things every which way.

" I uh... wanted to ask you if you knew why-"

"You think I did it huh?" she said not sounding fazed.

"No well… did you?" asked Elaine as Ross turned around slaming the trunk shut.

"Ellie look im like Kurama I don't remember things like that and I am not in control of Rosa… she's more of a fuzzy mirage that anything to me." said Ross a Elaine stared as Ross.

"That has to suck"

"Yeah well it does, I neither have a fill grasp of this world or one of Rosa's either Im in a stalemate between my own identities."

"So you really are at a loss" said Elaine as Ross sighed and pulled out a box holding a dried red rose.

"Yeah…. Yeah I am"
