-Chapter 25-

'Hana… she's still alive… but that doesn't make any sense I saw her taken and murdered before my eyes' he thought as his mind began to wander.

Flashback

"Daddy! Mommy says it's time to come in!!! DINNER DINNER DINNER!" a little black haired girl yelled happily as she zoomed around the yard with lightening speed, Hiei just grabbed her in mid run by the hem of her skirt.

"Alright, I'm coming don't have a heart attack" Hiei mumbled as the girl giggled and wiggled herself from her father's grip, running to the house to tell her mother.

Hiei turned to grab his katana but felt something odd flutter through the air, he turned only to see his daughter being dragged out of the kitchen by a tall dangly looking woman, Hiei growled and charged at the woman, but was stopped in mid step… unable to move.

"It looks like I caught myself another one" said a rather pudgy man as he held two different strands of energy in his hand, Rosa stood at the door frozen in place.

The woman chuckled as she took a brightly colored blade from her waist.

"It's time to bring true blood to the thrown" she said pungently as she the petrified screams of the child in her grasp echoed through the grounds… a blade was raised and…Slash

End of Flashback

Hiei clenched his eyes shut as he tried to wash away the memory of his daughter's death… Firea laughed menacingly.

"Yes you see...even though she did slay your daughter's life many years ago, she still didn't free her soul leaving her in eternal youth with me, until I send her to oblivion… now… which side are you going to take now... mine or that tramps'?." Firea asked matched with a sinister grin.

Ross felt the pull of reality as she opened her eyes to see she was on the ground once again.

'I must have passed out for a minute' she thought as she looked up to see who was clutching to her… Hiei's eyes were focused on something far away… Ross turned her head to see what he was staring at.

She felt her breath get stuck in her throat as she saw that her daughter was only feet away from her, Hiei growled lowly as Firea held what looked like a red orb in her hand.

Ross blinked several times only to realize she was transforming.

'She's… the woman's daughter… I remember now… her mother killed Hana… she will pay… but Koenma put a damn spell on my sword… I can't kill her with my bare hands… I'm took weak'

Hiei felt Ross shift in his grasp and looked down to see that lilac eyes were staring at Firea coldly; Rosa sat up slowly in his lap and began to take something from his back.

"What are you doing?" he asked confused as Rosa just yanked his katana from his back.

"I need to use this" she mumbled as she untied her own and replaced it with Hiei's, he could only stare at her as she unsheathed his katana and began to stand up with wobbly force.

"Ross… she's a… demon… she has the ears and the tail and… hair and WHY AM I SO UNINFORMED!" Gohan screamed as Chi Chi just about fainted from watching the transformation.

Kurama looked over at him "Yes, this is her demon form… it seems her daughter's sudden appearance has made he change back" Kurama muttered in his calm toned voice.

0-0-0-0-0

"Well look who's on their feet" Firea said grinning, Rosa just glared at her, and she turned to see Hana's cheeks tear stained.

"MOMMY!!" the young girl screamed, Rosa felt her heart break for the second time that day… this woman had Hiei and her daughter in her icy grip… It was Hiei's choice to be with her… but she would pay for Hana.

Rosa stood up straight only to feel Hiei trying to force her back with his jagan.

'HIEI! It was your choice to be with that wench but I am NOT going to let her get away with murdering MY daughter' Rosa screamed telepathically as her right fox ear twitched in annoyance.

' DAMNIT Rosa she's forcing me to be with her!' Hiei screamed making Rosa turn in confusion, only to be hit with a powerful blast making her tumble into the ground.

"It seems you've forgotten how to fight Rosalina" Firea chuckled amused as she grabbed Hana by the hair.

Rosa looked up, her eye blackened from the attack, she stood up slowly.

"I was just making things even Rosa… you know an eye for an eye a daughter for a mother" Firea growled angrily as she lifted Hana several feet off the ground.

"Let her go" Rosa growled lowly, her nine tails swishing angrily behind her.

"What you don't like the way I'm treating your precious daughter… well you should have thought about that before you killed my own mother" Firea growled as she threw the child into the dirt.

Hiei turned to look at the fox demon behind him… had she really killed their murderer… but-

Rosa spit some blood to the side as she advanced on Firea.

"It's not my fault your mother just so happened to be in my way that night" Rosa mumbled as she pointed the blade at Firea.

"It doesn't matter she deserved it… it's pathetic really how someone who could kill me and Hiei so many years ago, could be murdered so easily by a 9 year-old half saiyan" Rosa said plainly as she glanced over at her daughter.

"I see you have sworn revenge on me… that must be why you took the cowards way out… taking my daughter's soul hostage is the stupidest thing you could have done Firea." Rosa said annoyed as the young fire bitch squeeze the ball in her possession making Hiei moan from the pain his body received.

Rosa glanced over to him, then back at the girl in front of her.

"It all makes sense now…" Rosa turned back to Hiei.

"YOU IDIOT! YOU ACUTALLY GAVE YOUR KILLER YOUR HEART YOU FOOL… YOU'VE LOST YOUR MIND!" Rosa screamed oblivious to the fact that Firea had thrown another energy blast hitting Rosa head on sending her once again tumbling into the ground face down.

Hiei laid on the ground in pain, to his right was his unconscious daughter… and to his left was a very pissed and injured Rosa… this was going to get ugly.

Kurama growled from the side lines as Rosa screamed at Hiei, turning her back to her enemy… she knew better than to do that, but was only received by a mouth full of dirt… it angered him even more that the force field was keeping him and the others from helping.

Rosa growled from her fallen position and clenched her claws into the soft dirt.

"What's the matter mutt can't get up?" Firea asked with a chuckle, Rosa lifted her head and glared death to the young fire demon, standing up with weak knees.

"Let me explain something about me Onna , if there's one thing you should have learned about me, its not to piss me off and you've just written your tomb stone by doing so bitch" Rosa growled as she closed her eyes and transformed back into Ross.

She felt her body lunge forward from the sudden change but caught herself by edging the sword into the ground.

"You're going to fight me like that?" Firea asked with amusement, Ross looked up and glared bitterly.

"Why not, it's only proper for you to die the same way your mother did, by a human" Ross barked.

"Please wench you can't kill me… you're joking yourself, what makes you think you can kill me if you couldn't even save you're your daughter from my mother while a demon all those years ago?" Firea asked making Ross crack hr knuckles.

"YOUR MOTHER WAS AN INCONSIDERATE BTICH!" Ross yelled her voice hoarse from the lack of hydration.

"I don't know I think she had good right to murder you and your rat of a daughter from taking the thrown" Firea said sternly.

"Less talk more fighting" the demi-saiyan screamed as she lunged at the fire demon, unsheathing her sword she jumped over the girl slashing her in half in the process.

Ross landed behind her, as she heard the splitting of the corpse behind her, she turned to see it was only a red cloak… she heard the laughter of someone from a near by tree.

"You didn't think it would be that easy now did you?" Firea asked from a distance, but as soon as Ross noticed a cold hand on her shoulder she felt a painful blow take out her left shoulder making her scream in pain.

Ross turned around to see Firea grinning at her.

"You know… I do believe you said I was good as dead… then why may I ask am I not yet?" Firea asked with a chilling laughter.

Ross kicked the sword she had dropped into her right hand as she held her shoulder.

"Now… now, now what to do with you…" Firea laughed but then felt something pierce her chest; stepping back she held what had impaled her… a lilac rose.

Ross stood with a rose drawn ready to impale her once again.

"It seems I've gotten better aim since your mother… how terribly tragic for you… you see there are advantages to being a fox demon" Ross held the rose tightly in her grip as she threw it Firea dodged it easily and grinned, only to feel a chilling smile from behind her.

"Didn't your mother ever teach you to keep your eye on your opponent at all times onna… it seems you've lost" Ross lifted the katana into a sideways slash, swinging down only to stop millimeters from Firea's heart to realize she had the orb that held Hiei's heart clutched to her chest.

"Give me that" Ross growled lowly making Firea just laugh.

"Why its not like he loves you… why save him?" Firea asked making Ross enraged, dropping the sword she grabbed Firea by the throat and threw her against a tree.

"I was going to make your death quick, but now that you've said that I think I'd rather enjoy torturing you more!" Ross growled as she went to grab the orb, but then heard a painful scream from the fallen fire kroomie behind her, she turned to see Hiei had been impaled; Firea had driven one of her nails into the squishy ball.

"DON'T DO THAT!" Ross screamed as she went to grab the orb sending them both flying to the ground.

Ross lifted her hand surrounding it in energy she swung it at Firea only missing her jaw and hitting the ball instead, Hiei groaned loudly from the attack and then became unconscious.

"You WENCH!" Ross screamed as she took Firea by the neck, lifting her several inches off the ground.

"You are going to die the same way your pathetic mother killed me…" Ross kicked Firea into the adjacent tree and threw several roses impaling a vertical line down Firea's chest; she screamed loudly from the pain… she couldn't move as blood trickled from her mouth.

Ross pointed the sword at Firea's neck and lifted it.

"AND NOW YOU DIE!"

Slash

Goku shielded Chi Chi from the sight of the slaying… who knew his daughter could be so blood-thirsty.

Ross dropped the sword at her side; dripping with the blood of her foe she grabbed the orb from Firea's lifeless grasp.

Ross fell to her knees as the force field went down, her friends' rushed into the scene, Ross felt her eyes growing tired as she looked behind her to see Yusuke and Kurama waking Hiei.

Ross, forced herself onto her feet, kneeling down next to the fallen fire kroomie, she looked up to see the shocked faces around her.

"Damnit Ross…" Kuwa mumbled.

'If only he knew… how it felt to see your whole world shattered in one day… he'd have to slaughter too' Ross thought as she took the orb and set it on Hiei's chest… sinking in slowly she didn't get any response from him, but she knew he wasn't in danger anymore… he still wouldn't love her.

Ross turned to see that her demon mother had gone to her Hana, Ross sighed painfully as she rose to make her way to her daughter, she knelt down next to her child and gathered her up into her arms.

Standing up… she began to walk away… not even looking back

her shoulder broken… her daughter safe… her life shattered.
