Chapter 11-
Preface
"You told me to move on" he said not realizing what he was saying in front of everyone.
"Yeah… I did and you did move on… as did I…. Only we met each other in the process," said Ross her sapphire eyes filled with questions and honesty.
Hiei growled loudly and grabbed his boots stomping out the door and slamming it in the process; Ross growled and threw her juice carton at the door.
"FINE, BE THAT WAY!" she screamed going to her room and slamming the door, leaving everyone else confused in the process.

The gang winced as they heard the sharp slam of Ross' door. Kurama sighed and sat down brushing his hand through his bangs, as Elaine twisted her hands while biting her bottom lip.
"What's wrong?" asked Kurama as Elaine put her hands to her side.
"Nothing… why would you think anything is wrong hun?" she asked as Kurama lifted his head only to see silver eyes avoiding him.
"Because you only bite your bottom lip when something's bothering you" he said as Elaine looked at him quickly then averted her attention to a very so interesting spot on the wall.
"Elaine…." He said as she began to twist her human hands once again.
"You're hiding something from me" he said as she sighed and turned to his attention.
"I am … not hiding anything from you love… I'm just thinking is all" she said as her eyebrow twitched.
"Now you're lying, what in the world is on your mind?" Kurama asked now getting annoyed by his mate's peculiar behavior, it wasn't helping that he was already tweaked by his sister's stunt earlier.
"Well…." Elaine said softly knowing she wouldn't be able to avoid the subject forever.
"Didn't…. didn't you realize that Ross smelt an awful lot like Rosa to begin with… you know like smoldering roses in the middle of a thunderstorm?" she asked getting an eyebrow raise from Kurama.
"Wow talk about a descriptive scent how in the world can someone smell like smoldering roses in the middle of a thunderstorm? Isn't that kinda impossible since the roses would get wet and thus wouldn't be smoldering?" asked Yusuke as Elaine looked at him.
"I don't know that's just how I can explain it" she said a bit agitated as Kurama caught her eyes once more.
"What's your point?" he asked making Elaine look up at the ceiling.
"MY… point is that I find it kind of surprising that you didn't have the slightest clue that Ross was Rosa," she said as Kurama's eyes went wide.
"You… you knew this whole time didn't you?" he asked as Elaine blushed slightly but kept silent.
"Well…" asked Kurama angry at his mate's silence and even more pissed at the fact that he believed her.
"Well… after you and the others came to rescue that little girl from me… I realized that her lock breaking technique to get trough the main gate was very similar to your sister's… not to mention she was clumsy as usual and forgot to cover her distinctive scent… so I confronted her about it but swore to be not to tell you or Hiei or… anyone for that matter about her true identity… so… I promised," Elaine finished only receiving wide eyed stares from her companions.
"You… promised not to tell me… how could you do something like that?" asked Kurama as she felt hot tears stream down her face.
"I'm sorry… I didn't think- I don't know I wasn't thinking I'm sorry" said Elaine her eyes clouded by her salty tears.
"Elaine" Kurama was tempted to stroke her cheek but then remembered her former promise; he sighed and walked down the temple hall, his footsteps echoing his frustration as a door slammed moments later.
Meanwhile
-Ross' POV-
I slammed the door behind me 'I can't believe that selfish fire jerk could even be angry at me after what he did to me almost 17 years ago!' I thought as I heard my elder brother arguing with that mate of his, 'man she better not say anything or she's in for It though… I guess it doesn't matter now' I thought, even though I felt sorry for her even being in that situation I DID make her promise, so I'm not at fault right?
All these thoughts kept pondering my mind as I heard an uproar from the neighboring room. 'What the hell is with all that damn yelling? I need to get out of here and think… I need a drink' I thought as I searched through my drawers for some decent clothes. After finding a red tang top and kaki cargos I slipped them on and threw my hair up in a lopsided ponytail.
'I mean I know he has every right to be angry at me…. I know they both do but… but still it was for the best right? Man I need a drink' I thought once again as I heard a door slam.
-End of POV-
Elaine winced and sighed "Why does everything always have to be so complicated with that family?" she thought out loud as she wiped the burning tears from her eyes only to see a blurring image of the younger sibling crossing the room.
"Where are you going?" asked Elaine as Ross grabbed her shoes from a heap by the door.
"I need a drink" she mumbled as she slammed the front door behind her.
"Alright so let me get this straight now that the two bitching beauties have left the room… Ross is really this infamous demon Rosa who is also Youko's sister and one of the best thieves of all of Makai and she's Hiei's best friend… why do I have a feeling there's more to this than they're brining on" said Yusuke scratching the back of his head.
"Because there is" said Genaki making Yusuke and Kuwa face fault.
"What are you keeping from us you old hag?" asked Yusuke as Genkai shifted her gaze from Elaine back to the detective.
"You'll find out… eventually" said Gnekai making Yusuke face fault once more.
"What! You mean you're just going to leave me hanging! Come on now!" he said as Genkai headed out the door with Elaine.
"No" she said as the kitchen door shut behind them with a snap.
"Awe man" said Kuwa as Yusuke simply nodded.
"WHERE IS SHE!" screamed a so familiar demi-god from behind them.
"How the hell am I suppose to know" said Yusuke turning around to meet a beat red Koenma.
"What!?!"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Ross shoved her hands into her pockets as she walked down the dimly lit streets of the city, her mind swarming with questions that seemed to have no answers.
'What does everything have to be so complicated with me?' she thought as she stared down at the street her refection glaring back at her from a muddy puddle.
'Damnit, you knew this was all going to go down sooner or later didn't you?' she asked herself as she slammed her foot into her reflection.
'Yeah but I didn't think it would be this bad… now Kurama is angry with me and I'm sure Elaine is in trouble for not telling him, not to mention all of them have lost their trust in me and Hiei…' her thoughts turned into flashbacks and she shook her head.
'Now that he knows what are you going to do?' She thought to herself as she entered under a neon sign reading Mike's Bar.
'I guess… I'll just have to leave' she thought as she ordered a drink from the chubby over tattooed bartender.
'I'm wrong as usual… I've failed them all' she thought as she gulped her beer.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Hiei opened the front door angrily; he had obviously been out killing something his coat was blood splattered and stained from the assault.
"Where is she?" he asked as Koenma glared up at him.
"That's what we would like to know" he said as Elaine wiped a hair from her face.
"She said she was going for a drink… but that was 2 hours ago" she said as Kurama entered the room.
"She said she was what?" asked Kurama as Hiei growled.
"You heard her fox, HN I hope she gets trashed" said Hiei as Kurama glared at the fire Kroomie.
"You know you don't mean that… she has to have a reason for not telling us…like maybe what happened when-"
"Shove it fox! That is no reason for what she did!" said Hiei interrupting Kurama's speech.
"And what the hell are you doing here?" Hiei asked as he stared at Koenma.
"Waiting for Ross" He said as Hiei rolled his eyes.
"You think she would come back after finding you that you know about her 'secret' I don't think so" said Hiei getting a raised brow from Koenma.
"Hn what do you want her for anyways?" Asked Hiei as Koenma narrowed his eyes.
"You know darn well why I want her" he said as Hiei lowered his eyes and then made his way to the door.
"Hn I'll find her" he said before vanishing into the night.
"This is going to be one LONG night" said Kurama tiredly.
AN- so what do you think??? Hmmm what will happen?? LOL next time on Blue's : My Last Confession.
