Chapter 21-

"Wait… WAIT! You said princess what the hell is going on?!?" Yusuke screamed confused and angry as Kuwa just nodded dumbly.

"Why she's the princess and future ruler of Northern Makai, fire demon territory" Rosa's mother chirped as Ross groaned and covered her head with her hands.

"You wonder why I ran away" she mumbled as Yusuke and Kuwa stared at her with shocked faces.

Yusuke and Kuwa just stared at her as Rosa rolled her eyes from her mother's response.

"You're… a ruler of…" Yusuke couldn't get out his words as Rosa sighed loudly and pulled her cloak off and throwing it into her bag.

"Look Urameshi… it's… complicated-" but she was suddenly interrupted by the clearing of a throat behind her, she turned to see a doctor standing behind her.

"I'm sorry to inform you Miss but you're grandfather has passed," Rosa's expression's didn't change once she heard these words form, but her mother began to weep lightly.

"Alright… I'm sure you know what to do," the man nodded from her response and left back up the stairs.

"What I want to know is WHY the hell could you be so stupid as to get killed Rosa" her step-father yelled loudly from behind her, Rosa turned and just stared at him for a minute but then went to leave.

"Did you hear me?" Jiro asked again, Rosa mumbled something that sounded like 'yes you old fart' but then just opened the door.

"I need… to go think" no one said a word as she left shutting the door behind her tightly.

"Kurama… why didn't you TELL US THAT SHE WAS A PRINCESS OR WHATEVER!" Kuwa yelled, Youko just sighed and shook his head.

"You forget who my sister is… she would give me no mercy if I let information like that slip" the sliver fox mumbled.

Hiei looked around the room, Fiera holding tightly to his arm he was hoping no one would recognize him… and spill the truth, bringing a shiver up his spine.

'Hiei' someone said lightly in his head.

'What is it onna' he spoke back telepathically, he knew who it was.

'Go ahead and tell then who you are if ya want… I'll talk to them about… what happened'

'Oh and what are you gonna say, that I killed you' He didn't mean those words; he knew he didn't but they just poured out of him like the lost truth, he felt Rosa's energy peak.

'Forget it baka, do what you fucken what' Hiei was gonna respond, but her energy suddenly disappeared.

" Hiei" Youko mumbled

"What?" Hiei asked rather sharply, making the family around them stare at him with questioning eyes.

"I'll… talk to my parents" Youko barely got the words out before he was gone to the next room with his two superiors.

Firea clenched to Hiei's arm a bit harder making him turn and glare in response.

"What do you want?" he asked making her pout.

"Now don't act like that… you what happens when you break an oath my little fire cutie" Firea pinched Hiei's cheek, he growled in response but nodded slowly in return, Yusuke and Kuwa just stared out into space completely lost.

Rosa bent down in front of the lit statue. She pulled a Ross from her tresses and threw it into the bowl of water placed in front of her.

"I'm sorry dad… I've let you down again… I know I can't do this, I know my life is ending… please bring this place peace." she made a gesture with her fingers and stood up bowing slowly.

"Whatcha doing" Rosa jumped and turned to see Ellie staring at her with a slight smile, Rosa let a smirk dance across her features.

"I'm praying, it's a bad habit and useless… but oh well" Rosa shrugged and Ellie smiled lightly.

"Koenma's been informed about this and is on his way" Rosa's expression fell.

"I just oh so can't wait" she mumbled as Ellie looked at her concerned.

"Are you really gonna die… "Rosa just nodded to her question and grabbed up her bag.

"I gotta go…. get away from here" Rosa slipped by Ellie and down the hill.

"Where are you going!!!" Ellie screamed, but Rosa was gone.

"SO where is she?" Koenma asked, but only got a shrug from the people around him.

"I don't know I haven't seen her since we got here." Yusuke mumbled.

"Well I need to speak to her!" Koenma screamed, Youko only sighed and stood up.

"I'll find her…" He walked over to the door and opened it slightly.

"When I come back with her though… don't be so harsh are her, she's been through a lot" Youko left soon after his plea.

Rosa sat in front of the waterfall… under the same tree her brother had showed her so many years ago, her eyes were brimmed with tears as she sniffled lightly and then held her sides from the pain.

love on a severed trail
skidding through the glacial horizons of calamity
warped into a twisted fate awaiting at the crossroads

agony and sorrow down one rut
painted with the fine brush strokes of blue
dotted with tears of despair
but past the opaque anguish lies eternal bliss
embellished with jewels of delight and comfort

devastating wasteland awaits your abiding feet down the other path
shades of gray decorate the stolid painting
loneliness trims the apathetic trails...
footprints engraved in the etched sand
awaiting humanities abandoned pain

(( I own this poem please don't steal it!!!!))

"Damnit go away" she mumbled as she scrunched up into a ball upon the grassy floor.

"I thought I would find you here" said a unmistakable voice, Rosa looked up to see her kitsune brother staring down at her.

"Go away" she mumbled as she plopped down beside her.

"Nope sorry" Rosa only groaned in response.

"If you're in so much pain, why don't you just take the stone back" he questioned her only to receive an icy lilac stare.

"Because I'm not that weak Baka that's why!" Yokou only sighed and grabbed her up and threw her over his back.

"PUT ME DOWN FOX!" she screamed but was soon being carried off back to the castle.

By the time they made it back she was asleep and mumbled random words as she snored lightly.

"So you found her" Koenma asked only getting a nod from the sliver haired fox, he put her on the couch and shoved her awake.

"What are you-… YOU JERK!!!" she began to scream nonsense curse words in several different dilects

"I have something for you if that makes any more of a difference" Koenma mumbled, Rosa only rolled her eyes in return.

"What" she asked in a like-I-give-a-shit tone, Koenma threw her a bottle.

"It will turn you back into your human body if you prefer to do so, on the count of your illness

"Oh joy" Rosa mumbled, she heard gasp from her mother.

"You're… sick? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!?" Rosa looked at her and smirked.

"Because you worry too much mother" she turned back around and slowly swallowed the contents of the bottle, she felt a tingling in her toes and soon became Ross once more, a scream emitted the room and much gossiping was heard.

"WILL YOU STOP IT?" Ross screamed as she turned and glared at her mother.

"Don't speak to her like that!" screamed Jiro only making Ross growl.

"Sorry if she's making a big deal over nothing"

"You're a NINGEN this is a big deal!" her step-father screamed.

' How could he just say that... what does he want me to do turn into a damn demon... Ill die if I stay in that form' Ross' thought as she glared at Jiro

"Oh shut up would you… so what if I am human…doesn't mean I'm a disease or anything"

"HOW AEE YOU GOING TO RULE LOOKING LIKE THAT!?!" Jiro screamed making Ross stand up in defense.

"WHO SAYS I AM, FOR YOUR INFO I'M NOT!" She screamed back only receiving a glare from a very pissed fire demon.

"Yes you are"

"No I'm NOT! I'm going to make this government a democracy you baka just like my father should have done years and years ago!" she screamed making the room go silent.

"What… made you wanna do that?" Youko asked only getting a grunt of annoyance from his younger sister.

"Screw it do what you want, I want nothing to do with this" Ross said darkly as she grabbed the handle of her katana.

"I need to go kill something" she growled lowly as she left out of the kitchen door.

Ross looked to see Hiei sitting on the rock she had shared with him so many years ago.

"What are you doing here?" she asked only getting a grunt from her ex-mate.

"Youko told your parents who I was… Hn fools" Ross couldn't help but smile at this, she was glad that he was having a hard time; after all he was breaking her heart in the process.

"Well good, you deserve it"

"And what is that suppose to mean?" Hiei growled lowly as he stood up, Ross only shrugged and passed him, he caught her by the shoulder and pulled her to him.

'What the hell is he doing?' Ross thought as she came closer to the fire demon.

"Why do I deserve it" he asked pulling her into his warmth.

"Because… you think, I think you killed me" she mumbled barely being able to think while looking into his crimson eyes.

"Hn you probably do think I killed you" he growled.

"No… I know that I- I mean you didn't" she tried to be careful with her words, she felt Hiei's grip tighten around her.

"If I remember correctly you were the one who averted my attention" Ross' face scrunched up from his statement.

"You forgot your sword"

"So you DO remember" he said surprised, Ross just nodded.

"Yeah well… Rosa bonded with me… I have those memories now… it's kinda freaky knowing I was there. but really I wasn't" Ross mumbled.

Hiei stared at her, but then let go turning away from her gaze.

"Hn… whatever onna" but before Ross' could blink… he had left.
