-Chapter 22-
' Rosa bonded with Ross… they're one person now…why hadn't she told me sooner' Hiei thought as he sat on the roof top of the castle, soon seeing the fire kit returning to her home with a limp, most likely back from killing something or another, she disappeared inside.
He soon followed, knowing it was dinner time.

"Are you satisfied now that you've killed another innocent soul kitsune" Jiro mumbled from the far end of the dinner table, dinner was already served by the time Ross' made her way to her seat.
"Hn" is all she said as she grabbed what looked like ramen and filled her plate.
"Are you sure you're well enough you be out there?" her mother questioned only receiving an annoyed sigh from her reincarnated daughter.
"Yeah… I'm fine, don't worry I didn't kill anything" Ross said plainly as she began to eat in the silence of their stares.
Hiei entered soon after and sat across from the fire kit, grabbing some food in the process.
"So Hiei, it seems you're doing well" Danielle said cutely as she passed a plate to her blonde boyfriend who decorated the seat next to her.
"Hn sure" Hiei mumbled as he ate what was in front of him.
"Rosa do you have a boyfriend" Danielle asked, making half the room drop what they were doing, Rosa looked up and shrugged.
"Maybe who wants to know" is all she said as she went back to eating, Hiei glared at her secretly from across the table.
'She better not have a fucken boyfriend, NO ONE touches my Onna… wait. what am I saying, she's letting me be with Firea, does that mean she's seeing someone else?!?' Hiei's thoughts were soon interrupted by the giggling from a girl next to him.
"That's not what your diary says" Firea said in a giddy tone, Ross' fork dropped as she heard those words, she looked up with a fierce look that made the world stop for that split second
"You did what" she growled fiercely as she stood up suddenly, her eyes a looming black.
"Well it was just like … there and you don't own any books, so I thought you wouldn't mind hehe, but with what you write in there you should put a lock on it" Firea said goofily making Ross' grip the table, splintering it in the process.
Kurama looked up alarmed now in his human form and grabbed her arm.
"Count to ten" but Ross yanked her arm from his grip, and went to grab her sword only to receive a fierce shock making her scream in pain and pull her hand away.
"Did I forget to mention I put a barrier on your sword, thought it would be safer if you didn't use it while your human family was here" Ross turned to Koenma's response in shock.
"What do you mean by that?" she asked her eyes going back to their original sapphire color.
"Well I invited them here, I figured it would be a better ending for you if you discussed why everything has been so screwed up for them with you since you are a powerful demon in Makai… they'll be here in an hour or so, which reminds me that included family friends" Ross' dropped to the floor from his response.
"Y… you did what" she mumbled softly her eyes went blank from the shock.
"Yes well we also thought it would be a good idea for us to meet these so called ningen relatives of yours, which reminds me you have to take the couch for the remainder of your stay" Jiro said making Ross turn to him and then look at the floor; she pushed herself up from her fallen position seconds later.
She turned to the fire demon, which clutched her ex-mate in her grip, she approached her without a word and grabbed something in mid air handing to her a lilac rose.
"Enjoy the fragrance of roses and perfume? Trust me, your demise will come sooner or later missy, I might not be the one to do it, but I'll be laughing even from the grave when it comes" Ross said in an apathetic voice and then waved something in the air… it was her journal.
"If you're so cunning my dear, cunning enough to be on the Urameshi team, then why didn't you feel me take this from you five seconds ago?" Ross asked a bit of sarcasm in her voice.
Ross turned to the door and walked out slamming it behind her, Firea just sat there straight as a board, only to broken from her daze when the sound of several angry voices came from outside…
0-0-0-0
Jiro stood at the front door, trying to clam the mob of kitsunes that had formed.
"Let us have the mutt, what do you need with her?" screamed an angry black eared male.
"Let her be!" Jiro screamed only to have the mob charge at him, he shut the door just in time, but the wood was impaled with a javelin seconds later.
"I don't get it… why do they want to kill her?" Yusuke asked while Jiro peered out the window to see the mob had began to disperse, once the guards showed up.
"You're not really familiar with demon societies are you?" Jiro asked as Kurama sighed and motioned for Yusuke to sit.
"No… but I mean with the way everyone kills everyone else I figured there were no societies… but then again I DID just find out that Ross is a princess or ruler or whatever" Yusuke answered, Kurama just chucked.
"Yusuke every demon species has its own societies… the reason that the fox demons have such a hard time with her is because, usually fox demons are cool and collected creatures… Rosa however is not… she's got a temper and just didn't fit in… of course no one knew she was a half breed until later in her child hood that's when things got worse… this is also the reason that she doesn't wanna take her grandfather's place as ruler of Northern Makai… because she doesn't believe in the way Northern Makai is ruled… and that she doesn't deserve it… it is a very stressful position." Kurama stated only getting a nod from Kuwa and Yusuke as the doorbell rang, Patty rushed from the kitchen.
"That must be Ross' ningen family" she said happily a she opened the door to the saiyan party.

'love is
just a middle name for us
passion and romance turned to dust
I don't know what to say to you
this glass is the only thing true
a red glow, takes my eye
reflecting in the prisms of the past
it holds everything we've been dreaming of
the smell of vintage in the air
one last sip will take me tumbling
but one sip less will keep me in despair
what can I do but watch the evening glow
and the wholesome truth
it's only numbing the pain
but what can I do?
but let it bring me to my knees
and watch myself beg and plea
in hopes I can bare another sip
I know this rushing through my mind
as I pop the cork
I know it's wrong
but red just seems so beautiful
'CRASH'
you have done this
broken my glass into crystal shards
why?
why have you saved me,
from the red pain I have swallowed so gracefully?
please just give me my heart back
and help me clean up this broken despair.'
(( Don't steal my poem!))
Soft music hummed through the greenhouse which held the ill kitsune.
'It's like jumpin
It's like leapin
It's like walkin on the ceilin
It's like floatin
It's like flyin through the air
It's like soarin
It's like glidin
It's a rocket ship you're ridin
It's a feelin that can take you anywhere
So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know
Blonde hair littered the
floor as puking could be heard; Ross huddled in the corner clutching the
whiskey bottle to her chest.
There was passion
There was laughter
The first mornin after
I just couldn't get my feet to touch the ground
Every time we were together
We talked about forever
I was certain it was Heaven we had found
So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know
But you can't live your life
Walkin in the clouds
Sooner or later
You have to come down
It's like a knife
Through the heart
And it all comes apart
It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon
It's a hole
It's a cave
It's kinda like a grave
When he tells you that he's found somebody new
Ross' heart broke to the
lyrics of the flowing music, she let unshed tears drip down her face, as soft
sobs shook her frame… she grabbed the trash can once again and puked the
contents of her stomach.
So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know
Ooh, why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Now I know'
((I don't own this, Lee Ann Womack does hehe but it's a great song… depressing though))
She was sick… she knew she was sick… too sick to get up from her position at this point, her back began to burn from the sudden coughing attack.
Ross threw something at the radio, making it shut off with a clatter. She huddled into a small ball holding onto the half drunken whiskey bottle as she looked around the greenhouse.
'She's… read my deepest dreams and fears… and yet I can't kill her… I don't know why… but I just can't… maybe because Hiei loves her now and I couldn't bear to see him suffer from a loss… like I have'
Ross took a swig from the bottle, not hearing the creak of the greenhouse door open and shut. She began to sing random lyrics, her sweet voice echoing through the room like a sorrowful dream.
'And… Koenma has forbid me from using my sword, he told my parents… and is already getting ready for my downfall… it really shouldn't be that long now… but still… how could be he so cruel as to bring my human family into this'
Ross' frame shook once more from the powerful sobs, she wouldn't dare show in public… but she was alone now… or so she thought.
Hiei stared at the onna from behind a rather large plant, he knew she was depressed… hell who wouldn't be… the only way she knew how to release stress was to kill something… or rather someone in this situation and she couldn't do it.
'Maybe I should just tell her… about Firea's damn scheme with my heart… tell her about who her mother is…' Hiei stopped himself from thinking such thoughts as he heard several voices from the kitchen, which stood not to far away, Ross stirred pulling her knees to her chest and letting her blood red tears roll down her face.
'Her tears… are… red, she hasn't cried like that since-' Ross lifted her head, interrupting Hiei's thoughts, then she threw the bottle of copper colored paradise against the wall and sobbed loudly to herself, pulling out a dagger.
'she wouldn't' Hiei thought as she took the dagger and placed it to her heart, before he knew what he was doing he rushed out from his hiding space and grabbed her hand which held her destiny.
Ross looked up to see who had caught her hand, her vision was blurred from her bloody tears… but she could tell from their scent, who it was.
"Hiei…" she said plainly, she dropped the dagger and yanked her hand away from his iron grip.
He felt as if she had just ripped his heart out with that one action… how could something so simple as taking a hand away… hurt him so much?
"Leave… please I don't want you to see me like this" Ross said lying down on the soft ground and curling up trying to stifle her soft whimpering.
"Rossy…" he went to place a hand on her cheek but then realized, her eyes were bottomless black orbs.
"LEAVE!!!" she screamed pleadingly, her throat cracking as she held her knees tighter, another wave a pain surrounded her thoughts.
"Fuck no Onna… I'm not leaving you like this…" He didn't realize what he had said, wasn't he the one that was supposed to be angry with her for all her lies…
'But look at her… she's terrible… I love her too damn much DAMNIT! I can't stand this, she doesn't deserve this'
Hiei's thoughts were clouded when he heard the door squeak open, he sprang up from his kneeled position and rushed to the front of the greenhouse to see that Firea had entered and was searching through the leaves.
"What are you doing here?" Hiei asked predatorily, knowing his best friend was suffering greatly only 20 feet behind him and the girl she despised was entering her sick ward, it made him furious, no one got close to Ross especially when she was sick like this.
"Oh Hiei-Sama! I was looking for you!!!" Firea yanked Hiei into a crushing embrace, only making the fire demon more furious, he could feel Ross' getting weaker by the second he didn't have time for this.
"Get off me!" he said coldly as he shoved the fire slut off him, she growled and pulled what looked like a squishy red ball in her hand, she squeezed it fiercely making Hiei fall to the floor in pain as he tried not to yell from the agonizing shock he received.
"Remember I hold your heart in my hand, literary" Firea said with a grin as she walked up to the fallen fire demon and pet his head.
"Like a faithful dog, how wonderful" Firea said only receiving a growl from the fire kroomie.
"Well if you didn't want this you shouldn't have made my mother bring you back to life... you belong to me get use to it" Firea said fiercely as she went to the door.
"I'll see you tonight, it seems we're sharing a room" Firea said giggling as she left to the kitchen. Hiei pushed himself off the floor, but then heard a piercing scream. He rushed back to his fallen love to see she had begun to scream bloody murder.
Hiei knelt down, he knew she didn't want anyone to know about this… he grabbed her arm only to realize she had gone blind from the pain, Ross felt a warm hand on her arm, she didn't care who it was her temporary blindness made it impossible to figure out who it was.
"Hey… babe… Shh… you don't want them to find out about this right… try not to scream" Ross heard these soothing words, she knew who it was…. she couldn't believe what she was hearing though.
Ross grabbed a hold of his shirt and pushed herself into his lap, only nodding to his statement before, Hiei wrapped his arms around her as he leaned against the wall, he could feel her painful sobs, he felt guilty for causing so much extra pain.
"I'm not going anywhere you got it… just relax… I'm not leaving onna" he felt her sigh softly; she moved slightly in his grasp and looked up.
"I really… do love you Hiei… I can't lie anymore…" a sudden lunge from her stomach made her squeeze her eyes shut and shudder as she waited for the fire demon's response, but all she received were warm lips upon hers.
Hiei felt his heart lunge as she spoke the words he had been waiting for… he knew she wasn't feeling herself but this was something he believed… he brushed a stray hair lightly from her face and kissed her lovingly… nothing was gonna stop him now from making things right.
"HIEI JAGANSHI!" someone screamed from the front of the greenhouse, Hiei let go of Ross' lips only to realize who had screamed for him… Firea.
"COME ON WE'RE GOIN ON A DATE LET'S GO!" Firea screamed, Hiei growled at this, the last thing he wanted to do was leave Ross right now… but he knew he didn't have a choice. He laid her gently back where he found her and pulled his cloak off wrapping her in it, he kissed her lightly as her eyes grew wide.
"Y—you're leaving me?" she asked in a hoarse voice, Hiei could only wrap the cloak around her more tightly.
"I have to" he left after those words left his lips, Ross alone on the green house floor… blinded by pain and sorrow…and broken by her love.
