Chapter 13-
Ross felt the tugging of cuffs on her wrists as they forced her up the hill to her as they called it 'residence'
'I'm a fool… I'm worse than a damn fool I'm a liar… a thief… well yeah I definitely can't deny that I'm not a thief but not a thief I am proud of… I'm a thief of trust' she thought as a low grumbled escaped one of the guards.
"Open the damn door onna" he said nudging her in the back… she didn't care anymore, she didn't care that they were treating her like shit, hell she deserved it… all she wanted to do was get inside and crawl under her bed to rot.
Ross opened the door slowly, but it was swiftly swung open from someone on the other side.
"What the hell…." Was all Ross could register coming from her brother's mouth as she saw her group of loved ones staring at her in complete puzzlement.
Ross grumbled as she was pushed into the room only to let her eyes meet the ground, she wouldn't look up at them… she didn't have the strength to see their disappointed faces, she let her long blonde curls cover her face from view.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Vegeta as the guard behind her shut the door.
"Why are there police in my house!" screamed Chi Chi as Ross readied herself for the blow to come.
"We're not-"
"You're… you're Makai authority… what in Kami-" Roshi let his mouth drop to the floor as he was at a loss of words.
"Can you unhand me?" Ross said bluntly her voice finally penetrating wanting ears.
"Not yet onna we still have a lot to discuss" said a deep voice belonging to the other guard getting a sour expression from Gohan.
"Onna! Why you-"
"Just let me go… I'll do what you say" Ross said slowly interrupting Gohan's respect speech… she didn't earn it.
"I just have one question for you brat" said the other guard gripping her roughly around the wrists.
"Will it get you to let me go?" she asked as he stiffened and then grunted.
"Fine, ask away…" Ross mumbled as the guard cleared his throat.
"We've caught you countless times, put you in custody or lock you up, how in the three worlds do you do it? How do you get out of our reach each and every fucken time? HOW?!?" he asked roughly making Ross' kin scrunch up their faces at the truth being reviled.
"Just lucky I guess" Ross muttered, the guard stood back for a second.
"You're one of top criminals in Makai one of the best thieves and slayers of all time and you're just telling me its luck?!?" he screamed making Ross' ears burn with agitation.
"I've been running from people like you my whole existence… I've just gotten use to people hating me; I've just gotten use to finding my way out of cells ok!? Does that satisfy you? Damn, just let me die if that's what you want so damn bad" she yelled now staring at the floor.
"Just tell Koenma to kill me if that's what you want… but until then all I ask is to have my hands unshackled" she mumbled softly not even daring to look up at the faces. She felt rough hands unhook her own from their binding and then something sharp stick into her wrist making her flinch instinctively.
"You're home bound for the time being, you heard what Enma said about running… he's instructed me to place this bracelet on you to keep you from escaping it tracks you in all directions and-"
"Yeah… I know what it is" Ross said going down the hall, not letting her eyes meet the confusion around her, she closed the bathroom door slowly behind her letting it trap her away from her treacherous lies, soon music followed and the soft sound of running water.
"What the hell is this all about" said Gohan glaring at the two guards in the door way.
"Sorry sir that's classified information" one muttered but was suddenly jerked into the grip of a not so friendly demi-sayian.
"I don't give a shit what the hell it is!! My sister leaves for her 16th birthday and then comes back in hand cuffs… NOT TO MENTION I FIND OUT THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME! What does she have to do with the damn demon world anyways?" Gohan screamed making the guards eyes bulge out.
"You…you mean you don't know? Ross she's a-" but before the guard could finish a large hand plopped over his mouth.
"Keep quiet Koenma said not to cause any problems" said the other guard only receiving a stiff nod from under his hand. Gohan let the brawny man out of his grip and grumbled something that sounded like 'I'll find out later,' the guard nodded and opened the door to the outside world turning back quickly only to throw something at Gohan.
"Make sure she gets that" he said, receive another confused look from Gohan as he heard the front door click. Gohan opened his hand slowly to take a glimpse at the item thrown before; it was a dried lavender rose in a plastic Ziploc bag.

Ross stared at herself in the mirror… 'What have I done?' She thought as she opened the cabinet taking out a large collecting of CDs, taking one out she stuck it into the rickety stereo and turned the knob until it wouldn't go any higher.
The music started its toxic rhythm, Ross turned the hot water on as she undressed and pulled her long blond tresses from her view as she stepped into the shower.
Why's there clothes
all over the floor.
Don't remember them being here before.
Smell of perfume isn't here.
Why's lipstick on the mirror?
And still I don't understand.
No pictures left in the hall.
It's plain there's holes in my wall.
Where the hells my credit cards?
Why the hells my wallet in the yard?
And still I don't understand.
Ross let the how water run off her back as she felt hot tears surface.
Well now, I guess I should've listened.
When you said you've had enough.
A little trick I picked up from my father.
in one ear and out the other.
Why's love got to be so tuff?
Should've seen the look on my face.
My shits all over the place!
Why's this happening to me?
Why'd you take both sets of keys?
And still I don't understand.
"Im such a fool" she thought out loud as
she felt her cheeks burning from the pain of realizing the truth.
Well now, I guess I should've listened
When you said you've had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
in one ear and out the other
Why's love got to be so tuff?
Ohh, Well I guess I should've listened
Ross wiped the salty tears from her face as she stepped out of the
bathroom letting the steam cover her reflection on the mirror.
There's clothes all over my floor.
I don't remember them being there before.
There are no candles in here.
Lipstick still on my mirror.
And I still don't understand.
Well now, I guess I should've listened.
When you said you've had enough.
A little trick I picked up from my father.
In one ear and out the other.
Why's love got to be so tuff?
Well now, I guess I should've listened.
When you said you've had enough.
A little trick I picked up from my father.
In one ear and out the other.
Why's love got to be so tuff?
(I do not own this song but I LOVE it! Nickelback rule!)
Ross wiped a small part of the mirror clean, only to see her swollen face reflecting back at her, she felt like screaming, hell she felt like killing something how could she have been so naïve?
"Damnit" she muttered as she looked at her sour reflection. "No more…. No more of this" she thought out loud as she stuck out her hand, staring at the bracelet pinned to her wrist she growled and smacked herself in the face.
"How could you have been so STUPID?" she screamed at herself as she grumbled and began to get dressed.
"No more of this NO MORE I will not having anything to do with that world EVER!" she yelled to no one as she tied her cargo pants off letting them drag on the floor.
The stereo buzzed as he switched to another song.
I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you
I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you
Ross growled as she listened to the lyrics, 'damn right´ she thought as the music
consumed her once more.
You thought you were sitting beside me
Your were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
I could be cold
I could be ruthless
You know I could be just like you
I could be weak
I could be senseless
You know I could be just like you
You thought you were sitting beside me
Your were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
Ross sat down on the toilet… 'Why is this song so true? Why….'
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
On my own, cause I can't take liven with you
I'm alone, so I won't turn out like you
Want me to
You thought you were sitting beside me
Your were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you
( I don't own Three Day's Grace either but I love them too!)
Ross slammed the stereo off as she heard pounding on the bathroom door, 'Great... What can I say to them they obviously know about… some of it, what can I say… sigh I might as well not say anything I suppose… what IS there to say?' Ross sighed loudly as she opened the door only to see Gohan's angry face.
"I want answers" he said plainly as Ross pushed herself passed him.
"Not now" she said as she went to descend the stairs only to yanked back up.
"YES NOW!" screamed Vegeta making Ross tumble to the ground, she rubbed her wrist and just stared at them all wide eyed.
"There's nothing to say… I'm a criminal lets just keep it at that" she said lowly as she stood up and pulled her hair back.
"What do you have to do with the demon world?" asked Roshi making Ross look up once more.
"Nothing now… I have nothing to do with them besides the fact that I am being punished for the time being… until Koenma takes this off" she said holding up her wrist.
"But I deserve it… I really do… so if you'll excuse me I'm going to let you resume your lives as I go back to being a nothing… I was never anything" she mumbled at the end as she went down the stairs slowly.
"Just leave me be" she yelled as she slammed her bedroom door and locked it behind her.

6 months later-
School had started up again, things were back to normal… well as normal as they can get for an 11th grade demi-saiyan reincarnate. Nobody had seen much of Ross since that night… she mostly kept to herself in her room during the summer.
Now that school started Ross had a job as a waitress and was paying her car payments on a used piece of shit she had gotten cheep from a dealer down the street, anything to stay away from becoming anything more than a vision was all she cared about now.
"Hey Ross!" screamed someone down the hall as she made her way to the exit, Ross turned around to see her friend Amelia running down the hall.
"Hey you forgot this!" she said handing a stack of clipped papers to the blonde saiyan.
"Oh… thanks" Ross said stuffing then into her back pack.
"Is everything alright?" Amelia asked as Ross looked up.
"What do you mean?" asked Ross as Amelia scrunched up her face.
"Well you've been doing a lot of drastic things lately, getting your belly button pierced… getting your hair cut short are you sure everything is ok?" The girl asked as Ross sighed.
' I guess she has a reason to worry, I did get my belly button pierced which swore never to do and cut my hair to right above my shoulders… it was way down my back before… but I think this just suits me more…' Ross sighed as she became lost in thought, she snapped out of it.
"Just ready for a change I suppose" Ross said getting a reassuring smile from Amelia.
"Well alright, I'll see you tomorrow, Oh and really I do love your hair! It just makes you look so… different" Amelia said as Ross smiled.
"Thank you…. See ya" she said turning and leaving the building.
"Good… that's what I want" she mumbled.
"Want what?" asked a cheery voice from behind her, Ross turned around to meet a shocked stare from a blue haired fairy onna.
"Oh my goodness your hair" is all Botan could say as she pointed to Ross.
"Forget it Botan just leave I want nothing to do with any of you" she said harshly as she turned around and walked hastily away.
"Oh but… but Ross we need you to come to… Ross can you wait up" Botan said out of breath as she tried to catch up with the quick demi-saiyan.
"No… No NO I am not going anywhere."
"But… but your pendant its-"
"I don't care if it EATS me I'm not going anywhere and that's THAT!" Ross screamed as she opened the door to her car and slammed it in Botan's face, turning on the engine she backed up and skidded off from the parking lot.
00000000000000000000000000000000000
Ross clutched to her necklaces instinctively as she parked in front of the restaurant she worked at.
' I know what you were going to say Botan… and I don't care, I don't care if all of Makai comes after me I just want to be left alone- I'll deal with it when it comes' Ross thought as she pulled a Ziploc bag from under her seat.
"Youko…." She mumbled as she stared at the lavender rose, her mind began to wander to the fire demon of her past but she pushed the thought away as she stuffed the bag under her seat once more and locked her car, and walked back into her present life… as a human.
Authoress note- Yes I went and got all my hair cut off… but just like Ross I did it for change… LOL and I got my belly button pierced with I might add hurt like hell… but for my 16th birthday I figured I owed it to myself to do something creative LOL Anyways Please Review!
