Authoress' note- Yes Hiei is back ::does a dance:: so I better be getting some reviews!

-Chapter 18-

Ross mouth opened slightly then snapped shut at the sight of the fire kroomie at her front door.

"What are you doing here?" Ross asked in confusion, her eyes clouded over with thought but she was soon brought back to her senses when she heard a sequel behind her and then someone throw her to the side, Ross shook her head and looked up to see Fiera cuddling up to Hiei's arm.

Ross furrowed her brow in confusion… 'What in Kami's name was going on?' Ross felt her hand start to grab for her katana, but forced herself to stand up instead.

"HIEI!!!" Fiera screamed as she wrapped her arms around the fire demon, the expressions that littered the room were priceless

"Hiei I thought you went back to Mukuro's?" Kurama asked as Hiei just gave his trademark 'Hn' and closed the door behind him.

"I was, but Koenma told me I had better come back, Hn the fool threatened to put me into Makai jail if I didn't" Ross felt her nails dig into her palms as she watched that wench have her hands all over HER Hiei… wait he wasn't hers anymore… he could do what he wanted…

"So uh" Kuwa started as he watched the fire girl cuddle the Jaganshi.

"So shorty is she your girlfriend?" Kuwa asked as he pointed to Fiera, who giggled excitedly.

"Oh course silly, who do you think told Koenma he had to come back!" Fiera said in her high pitch girly voice.

'What… the hell is going on… this girl comes into my house… and she's my ex-mates onna!!! I can't take this anymore… I-I can't I just die now?' Ross thought as she went up the stairs silently only to feel her brother's arm on her shoulder.

"Where are you going Ross?" Kurama asked lowly, Ross moved her arm away from his touch and walked a few more steps before answering.

"I'm… gonna be late for work" Ross said slowly as she disappeared upstairs.

"But your car is… that way" Yusuke said pointing to the front door.

"Fuck it detective I'll fly… "She said as the kitchen screen door slammed behind her.

0000000000

Ross walked silently down the hill… any sounds might cause attention onto her… that's not what she needed right now.

'he… found someone else… well OF COURSE he found someone else what did you think Ross he was going to stay lonely forever… but still the fact that this girl is… part of the team now and… so fucking annoying… there's just something about her I can't shake. It makes me so irritated I just wanna… I gotta go kill something… something other than these ningens before I lose it' Ross thoughts wandered a bit as she passed her brother's house.

Krillen and Gohan peered from the front porch as Ross passed with her hands gripped forcefully at her sides.

"Hey ROSS!" Gohan screamed making Ross stop in her tracks and look up to see the saiyan motioning her to come closer.

"Yeah…what?" Ross asked not really caring what he had to say… but if this was the only way to get away from this shit, it was her answer.

"Mom just came over… said you were threatening and acting weird" Gohan said his brow arched in an angry line, Ross growled and kicked the heel of her foot into the dirt.

"I didn't threaten her… I-I you know it doesn't matter I did what I had to do leave it at that" Ross said turning her back to her pissed brother.

"She said you threatened her, what the fuck did she mean Ross!" Gohan asked he jumped over the porch fence and began to advance on her, but was suddenly halted by the tip of a katana.

"This right here… in my hand is what SHE meant…" Ross said pointing it sharply at Gohan.

"I just told her that whither she liked it OR NOT I am a swordsman… and I am not going to act like a puny ningen anymore do you understand" Ross growled, Gohan only jerk his head into a nod making Ross sheath her sword and clench her fists.

"Let me explain something to you Gohan, I'm not who you think I am, and until you figure out the truth… things will never make sense about me." Ross said seriously as she turned around rigidly and walked down the hill out of sight.

"What was that all about?" Gohan asked himself confused as he saw a figure take off into the sky.

000000000

Ross watched as the land rushed below her, it had been a while since she had flown… she tried to enjoy the fresh air but images of the past kept flooding into her thoughts.

Flashback

"Hiei!" screamed a girl as she rushed to the fire demon out of breath, she wore a dark blue robe and her hair was lazily thrown up in an attempt to see, but she failed miserably, her 9 tails swayed behind her as she leaned forward to catch her breath.

"What is it this time kitsune, lose your doll or something" The fox demon named Rosa glared at him as she stood her height once more… a few inches shorter than the demon she faced she couldn't have been more that 13.

"I'm leaving for my… coming-out party thing thus the robe… ya know how it is with this kitsunes… like they want to celebrate me becoming a women anyways" Rosa said as Hiei just looked her up and down rather amused.

"Well if you're going like that you're bound to make more attention than you want" Hiei chuckled as Rosa looked down at what she was wearing and then touched her hair and growled.

"Shut up, don't make me slice our ass into a million pieces Jaganshi" Rosa barked as her blood colored ears swiveled in anger, she began to tighten her robe and tidy her hair… not so successfully though.

"Hn, if only they knew the real you… then they'd have a real reason to hate you" Ross glared at him and crossed her arms after she was content with her appearance.

"Look I didn't come to you to be made fun of… I just wanted to tell you well… since I'm not a kid anymore…I'm gonna have some duties and all and well… I guess this is goodbye" Rosa said slowly, the fire demon looked at her and then jumped into a tree.

"you can't run from who you are kitsune… eventually you'll come back so don't say goodbye its pointless" Hiei said from the tree and then vanished into the dense forest, Rsoa ruffled her nose and rolled her eyes from her annoyance as she turned around and swiftly walked the other way.

"A lot you know fire jerk"

-End of Flashback-

As the image left her mind she felt herself being tugged by the force of gravity and falling heavily to the ground.

-THUD-

"GRR DAMNIT!" Ross cursed as she sat up from her fallen position and spit out the dirt that she had swallowed from the impact.

'Why am I thinking of that NOW?!?' Ross asked herself as she stood up and shook of the shock of the impact, but then felt her knees give way and a coughing fit surrender her to the pain.

"Ma I can't breathe, but I have to do something… to get this girl out of my mind uh…" Ross felt her strength start to return and stood up taking hold of her sheath.

"Why can't I just move on?" Ross thought outwardly as she began to practice with her katana, killing a tree here… shattering a rock there.

Ross fell to the floor 2 hours later exhausted from her killing spree of imaginary Fiera's and sheathed her sword, standing up on weary legs she began to trudge home but though it over and headed for the city instead.

0000000000000000000000000

Ross looked through the windows of stores at items she knew se couldn't afford… anything to keep her from going home… but window shopping man she was losing it.

She sat down on the lonely curb and popped a soda she had been carrying with her ever since she got the boys some earlier… but the sound of high-heels behind her wouldn't let her relax for long.

"ROSSALYNN!" bulma screamed from behind her making her jump half a foot and then turn around quickly to see the blue haired woman and Vegeta.

"Your mother has been calling everyone looking for you, she seems worried sick" Bulma said as Ross crushed the can on her head and threw it into a near but trash can.

"Please Bulma don't tell me she's coned you into thinking that way" Ross said shoving her hands into her pocket.

"Now you know she cares about you" Bulma said… but slowed her speech as she watched Ross' expression.

"No… Bulma…. no she doesn't but thanks for trying… I'll go home now" Ross mumbled as she passed the blue haired executive but was stopped by Vegeta's hand on her shoulder.

"You started fighting again… I see you have a sword… onna" Ross moved from his reach and kept walking.

"Yeah so what" She said in a boring tone as she disappeared into the busy streets.

00000000000000000000000

Ross walked into the doors only to hear the group chatting it up, she just sighed and went to the kitchen to take her heart meds, which is until a head popped in.

"Ross can you get us some drunks thanks" Fiera said as her head popped right back out again, Ross clenched the bottle in her hand as she went into the living room.

"Actually fire dweb I can't, get them yourself… you have feet use them" Ross said through clenched teeth as she felt the yellow plastic bottle in her hand collapse under her grip.

"But Koenma said"

"I don't care what that doctor said, you do it yourself… and if you go tell him FINE anywhere but here is OK with me" Ross said angrily, but dropped the bottle of pilss in the process.

"Shit" Ross growled as she went to pick up the assortment of pills, Kurama knelt to help her.

"Why do you have so many kind?" Kurama asked as Ross took them from him.

"Because it's called a cocktail… I told I was sick didn't I?? Well… yeah" Ross said a bit sadly as she went back into the kitchen.

'What the hell does she mean she's sick?' Hiei thought to himself as Fiera grabbed his hand and snuck him to the basement.

'I'll show her' Fiera thought as she grinned and pushed Hiei on the bed.

000000000000000

Ross walked back into the living room, and noticed the two fire demons were gone.

"Alright what the fuck is going on with her… why does Koenma have someone so weak on the team and you better make this good" Ross said crossing her arms as Yusuke shrugged.

"He said she's stronger than she seems" Ross rolled her eyes annoyed with the answer and untied her katana.

"I'm going to bed, seems there's no use for me to be here anymore" Ross mumbled as she descended the stairs to her room, opening the door she felt herself drop the sword to the ground in a clatter.

Hiei an Fiera were on HER bed making out… Hiei heard the door open and pushed Fiera off only to see a red eyed shocked pissed off Ross.

"Ross…I"

"YOU ARE MAKING OUT IN MY HOUSE ON MY FUCKEN BED! YOU-YOU-YOU-" Ross couldn't finish herself she was so infuriated she couldn't think straight.

"I…" Ross couldn't finish herself… she just turned around and walked back up the stairs slamming the front door behind her.

'Damnit… what have I done… ' Hiei thought as he heard Fiera giggle and then grab his ear playfully, Hiei growled and walked up the stairs only to meet a very pissed off Kurama.

"What did you do to her" Kurama asked angrily as Hiei just stared at him not being able to speak.

"She just… left and you have nothing to say" Kurama growled… much unlike himself this was his little sister he was dealing with.

00000000000000000

Ross couldn't hold it in anymore she sat on the top of her sullen roof and cried her eyes out.

'I can't take this anymore… I can't I CAN'T… I only have 5 months till I parish and I have to live to see him all over her like that… I'd rather die now of a broken heart than from my own soul' Ross thought as she wiped her eyes only to hear the door below her open and shut.

"Onna?" Hiei's voice rang through the air, Ross didn't dare answer… that jerk didn't deserve it she couldn't stand hearing him yelling at her again.

"Onna? Where the fuck are you?" Hiei yelled through the air and then looked up at the roof; Ross huddled against the wind as he jumped up to join her.

"Go away" Ross mumbled through her damp shirt, she wouldn't let him see her face… wouldn't let him get the best of her.

"Ross…li-" but he was cut off when she raised her head to glare at him.

"Oh so it's ROSS now is it?!?" Ross growled angrily as Hiei glared at her.

"Shut up and listen to me,"

"What so you can yell at me, I think I've seen plenty enough to burn my eyes Jaganshi" Ross growled as Hiei clenched his fist.

"Hn you had no right to lie to me before"

"Oh so let me guess you would have taken it that much better if I had told you flat out when we first met that I was your wife?... or ex-wife whatever?" Ross asked angrily her eyes burning holes into his thoughts.

"Hn"

"Yeah that explains a lot… just fuck off would you," Ross mumbled as she buried her head into her shirt.

"It's not what you think" Ross lifted her head sharply at his reply.

"Oh really well PLEASE tell me what I'm thinking Hiei" Ross growled irritably, Hiei glared at her making her look away as her eyes began to subside back to her sapphire depths.

"What is it you want…?" Ross said softly as she lay back on the roof to look up at the stars and away from his eyes.

"Onna… I didn't… she… Gr I had to do it" Hiei glared at the sky as he said it making Ross look at him like he was nuts.

"Uh… no you didn't" She said as she looked back at the sky, but then Hiei's face blocked her view, she could feel his warmth next to her as he leaned in to speak to her.

"Don't loose your temper with her" Hiei murmured, but before Ross could comment she felt his lips against her own, his hand came up to play with her curls, but shortly after he forfeited her lips to breath he felt a sharp slap cross his face.

"HOW DARE YOU KISS ME AFTER KISSING HER YOU ASS FUCKEN JERK! YOU THINK THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING AFTER WHAT I JUST SAW!?!" Ross screamed as she jumped off the roof, leaving a very pissed very shocked Hiei.

"Hn fine wench she was better than you anyways!" He screamed out of pure anger.

"GO TO FUCKEN HELL HIEI!" Ross screamed as she slammed the door behind her.

"If only she knew what the fuck was going on that wench I hate her!' Hiei thought as he brought a hand to his cheek.
