-Chapter 5-
"Hiei… will you… will you stop trying to persuade me to forgive you" Ross mumbled as she felt Hiei's grip tighten.
"Hn nope" Hiei mumbled as he pulled her even closer kissing her lightly on the ridge of her ear, Ross growled as she turned around now facing the fire demon which held her tightly.
"Fine… I suppose I can look past it… as usual" she mumbled, Hiei smiled lopsidedly as he kissed her lightly only to be pulled deeper into the kiss by the demon which he held.
Ross closed her eyes as she snuggled into Hiei's chest.
"Hmm… Goodnight He" is all she could muster before she drifted off to sleep.

Ross woke to the light whispering of her name, she fluttered her eyes open only to see Sachi staring at her with bright silver orbs.
"Aunt Rose… are you alright you've slept for quite a while… it's almost 10 o'clock… grandma sent me to wake you…" Sachi looked at Ross with a wondering gaze as Ross took a chunk of her hair and slicked it back, as she tried to suppress a tired yawn; she looked around the room only to find Hiei had left earlier that morning.
"Aunt Rose are you alright… you look like you're looking for something…" Ross looked up at the kitsune and shook her head.
"No, no I'm fine, I'm up you can tell my mother I'll be down in a minute," Sachi nodded and bowed as she began to leave the room, but stopped her self before doing so.
"Father… he told me about your human form… you know it looks quite similar to your demon form" Ross blinked and then looked down at herself; she had forgotten that she was once again a human… well half human.
She shook her head of these thoughts.
"So I guess that means you talked to him?" Sachi blushed and nodded to Ross question.
"Yes he explained everything… I suppose I had forgotten how much he actually worried about me," Ross laughed lightly, but then stood up and went to grab a pair of baggy ripped jeans, slipping them on.
"Yes well… fathers are like that I suppose…" Ross trailed off in thought as she tried to pat her hair down, Sachi nodded.
"I'll tell grandmother that you'll be down soon," and with that she bowed and left Ross to get dressed.
Ross sighed as she stared at her reflection... now to go and meet society.

Youko watched as Sachi returned to the kitchen to join him and the others for breakfast, his mother had sent her up to wake his lazy sister.
Elaine walked in yawning slightly as she grabbed a cup of coffee from the counter. She hadn't seen Youko since last night and had decided to not argue and let him have his space; she flopped down beside Hiei who took a long sip of his juice while glancing over at Youko.
The sound of someone stumbling down the steps marked Ross' entrance as she walked into the kitchen pulling at her baggy jeans as she stuffed her head through a black hoodie.
She went over to the counter and grabbed a cup of coffee, she looked over at the table… it was quiet…too quiet.
Ross sighed
'Ok… well I guess those two are still fighting… or not talking or… whatever' Ross watched as Sachi sat down at the table, she sat so erect and ate perfectly… maybe that's what her mother wanted her to be…
Ross growled at herself for being jealous of her niece and decided it was as best a time as ever to go out to the market place and start searching for information on her sisters' whereabouts.
She took a long sip of her coffee and then sat it down onto the counter grabbing her katana from beside the counter she tied it securely onto her belt.
"Where are you going?" Youko asked suspiciously as Ross closed her eyes allowing herself to turn into her kitsune counter part, she growled at the headache she received from the transformation.
"Out" Rosa stated, however; Youko stopped her before she could move any closer to the door.
"More specific Rosa," Rosa rolled her eyes at her brother's protectiveness.
"And you say you aren't protective" she stated, Youko only crossed his arms in return.
"I'm going to go and get information about THEM if you must know," she stated Youko sighed.
"It's not illegal is it?" he asked getting a smirk from Rosa; she turned to stare at him.
"Now what would give you THAT idea?" she asked getting a groan of annoyance from her brother, she crossed her arms and smirked much like the thief before her.
"No… I'm just going to the market place… see if anyone has information." Youko stated at her after she explained her plan.
"Are you sure that's wise? To go into town by yourself?" Rosa rolled her eyes.
"I can very well take care of myself Youko, I don't need a fucking, excuse me a stupid escort to go to the market place?" she stated only getting a growl from her brother.
"You know what I mean Rosa…" Rosa sighed and grabbed a hold of her cap draping it around her, letting it fully disguise her in hopes of being unrecognized in town.
"Come with me if you like… not that it will really matter…but I'm leaving now, meet you there" and with that she was gone, Youko left in the dust behind her.
Hiei gave a quiet Hn before disappearing as well, the kitsune sighed and turned to the rest of the group, they nodded in silent agreement and followed him out the door, however; the kitsure grabbed a hold of his mate once she exited the house.
"I'm… sorry Elaine… I didn't mean to, Gr snap at you last night… just confused is all" Ellie blinked at Youko's plea for forgiveness, its not every day you get Youko Kurama to apologize.
"I… It's alright… I suppose you have a right to be upset," Youko smiled once his blue haired onna accepted his apology and drew her close to him until they're lips met.

Rosa swept through the streets, her crimson cloak wrapped around her features, she made her way to what seemed to be a broken down shop and entered.
She approached the desk which seemed to be the only furniture in the cubicle sized store, and allowed the poor lightly to filter upon her features.
A pudgy looking kitsune, with matted down hair looked up at the 'customer' which seemed to find their way into his little shop.
"YAH what do you want?" he asked irritated, by being interrupted by this intruder.
"My, my, my… is that any way to speak to your favorite customer?" Rosa asked, the man's eyes went grew slightly wide as he leaned closer in hopes of getting a glimpse into Rosa's cloak, he chuckled.
"I thought you might be back in town, so… what brings you here Rosa?" the man asked now leaning back in his chair tapping his fingers together, Rosa smirked and pulled her cloak off to reveal herself.
"Glad to see you too Kenji... actually I'm here in hopes of some information about my sisters' whereabouts… if anyone would know I figured it would be you. " Kenji smiled at this, Rosa crossed her arms patiently as she waited for an answer, and he leaned forward slowly and then released a suppressed sigh.
"I've gotten wind that they are planning a raid tonight, they haven't been spotted in this area in over a month, but for the last few weeks protesters have begun to spring up everywhere, demanding a new leader …" Kenji watched as Rosa seemed to be deep in thought, that was until the door opened.
Youko emerged along with the rest of the gang; Rosa turned around and watched as Kenji smiled wildly at the silver haired kitsune.
"Youko Kurama… so the rumors are true, you're back as well" Youko nodded stiffly and glanced over at Rosa.
"Get what you wanted?" he asked, Rosa looked up and nodded heading for the door.
"Thanks dude, keep informed for me ok" and with that she threw a small bag upon his counter and left through the door, only allowing it to jingle behind her.
They now stood in the street, passer bys stopped to stare at the awkward looking bunch as Rosa trudged through the town, head down, and brow furrowed, deep in thought.
Youko opened his mouth to say something but was stopped once Rosa turned slightly towards him.
"They have a raid planned tonight… most likely in this area… I say we check it out, I think it might be more than that there's no need for them to go raiding through such fruitless territory if you know what I mean," Youko nodded in return.
"Its strange that the public already got wind of it too," Rosa nodded and stopped before the gate that led to their mother's property.
"Yes… well… I'm going to go and talk to Tye… I think he knows more about this than he's saying he does," Youko growled and stepped forward.
"Are you sure it's wise for you to go and meet him on your own?" Rosa glared at her brother.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Hiei's already searching for him," and with that Rosa jumped up upon the wall which blocked the rest of the demon world from her mother's territory and was out of sight.

Blonde and red tresses swayed in the breeze as Rosa trudged through the forest, she knew he was around somewhere, the question was where.
Then she smelt it
His scent
He appeared before her, his lips curled up in a sloppy grin, Rosa crossed her arms and raised a brow.
"And why may I ask are you so happy all of a sudden?" Tye chuckled and then stepped closer.
"I knew you would be back," Rosa rolled her eyes at this, leave it to him to be an arrogant moron.
He stepped closer.
"Look, let's make this short and sweet I heard about the 'raid' tonight and I Know for a fact that you have more information about it… I want it" Tye's grin widened.
"Well, as I said before, information comes with a price," Rosa rolled her eyes.
"I told you already baka I'm not doing anymore raids, just give me the fucking information before I lose my patcience," Tye's grin didn't fade.
"Who said I wanted you to do a raid for me, there are other ways of payment you know," he stepped closer as these words left his mouth, Rosa raised a brow at his curious behavior and felt herself being trapped. She stared at him with confused eyes as he advanced forward.
"What… the hell makes you think I would do something like that, what do you take me as?" Rosa felt her blood boil, as he knees began to become putty.
"Your reputation precedes you dear, now if you really want the information you'll just do this little thing for me and then you can have it…" Rosa was now pinned up against a tree as Tye advanced the few steps that separated the two.
"No… No, I won't do that you baka," Tye growled lowly, as his facial expressions changed to pure rage, he slammed a hand into the tree in which Rosa was trapped against.
"Look bitch we both know that you can't defeat me so why don't you be a nice little kitsune and come along quietly?" Rosa felt her eyes change to a morbid gray as her heart thumped painfully in her chest, Youko was right this was a BAD idea, and as much as she didn't want to admit it, he was right he could take her down easily.
'HIEI where the hell are you when I need you baka' this was the second time this ass hole had cornered her like this… and she was praying that it wouldn't turn out as badly as it did the first time.
Flasback
Rosa ran quickly through the woods as she felt the hot sticky breath of her hunter not far behind.
All she had wanted was to get away… all she had wanted was to get away from him.
He had found out about her little 'secret' and wasn't exactly happy about the fact that he was now the laughing stalk of his pack by dating and possibly marrying a mutt.
And he was going to get at least ONE thing out of it.
Rosa felt her heart rise to her throat at this point, she didn't want this… she didn't want him to find out, but him reacting like this as ridiculous.
His eyes had turned to a demonic red as he finally caught his pray by the leg, slamming her into the ground as she fumbled for something to throw at him… a rock… didn't do much.
She grabbed the handle of her katana but her hands were soon pinned above her head before she could do anything more.
She thought it was the end; she was pinned to the forest ground with a lustful kitsune above her, who had only one thing on his mind.
Then she felt something lift the weight from above her… she looked up through blurred vision to see that fire demon sending a hardened fist into her antagonist's jaw.
He slammed into the ground, hard, and Rosa was left in the dirt to find her sanity.
Hiei looked down at the girl which before had only seemed to be a hard headed kitsune. Now in the dirt fumbling for her sanity… he offered her a hand.
Rosa looked up to see a bandaged hand reaching out for her, and before she knew what she was doing she grabbed it and threw herself into the fire demons arms, she hugged him fiercely using him as she leaned against him for support as she felt hot tears trail down her face.
It was the first time he had seen her cry, and he hoped it would be the last.
And now he was stuck with his rival sobbing in his arms… what was a fire demon to do??
End of Flashback
Rosa felt her mind go blank as she found herself in the same position as before, slammed into the ground with Tye smirking above her.
She growled, she was NOT going to let this THIS ASSHOLE take advantage of her, she was stronger than that.
Suddenly Tye found himself with Rosa's elbow making contact with his chin and then a sickening blow to the gut, he rolled off into the dirt.
Rosa stood up taking her foot and shoving it into chest; she left it there as she listened to his painful screams of agony.
She growled and pushed it in further only to hear a crack.
"Now… unless you want the rest of your ribs broken I suggest you give me information NOW" she was fuming now, her eyes had turned from their lifeless gray to a menacing red, blood red.
He chocked
Rosa pushed her foot further into his abdomen as she unsheathed her sword and stuck the blade into his neck.
"TALK" she stated angrily.
"They… they're going to attack the house tonight… they're… they're planning on taking Sachi… er" Tye felt his energy draining as the words left his lips.
Rosa felt her heart flutter at the news… so soon? They were attacking so soon… but why?
She lifted her foot, letting Tye roll over and grab his abdomen.
She felt like spitting on him, but decided against it and turned her back instead.
"Stay the fuck away from me and the clan you got it, I don't ever want to see your pathetic face again" and with that she was gone into the trees.
Tye looked through squinted eyes and smirked, what a stupid kitsune.

Rosa jumped the wall, but once she made impact she felt a piercing pain shoot through her arm, he had slammed her pretty hard.
She clutched her arm as she entered the house, Yusuke looked up and whistled.
"What the hell happened to you, you're a mess" Rosa growled at his comment then looked down at her clothes, they were covered with dirt.
Youko narrowed his eyes, and growled.
"Where the fuck is he Rosa," he questioned in a deathly tone as he stood up.
Rosa huffed and past him, Hiei still wasn't back…
"Don't worry I dealt with it-"
"Rosa-"
"Enough! This isn't about me ok! Tabitha and Stasha are attacking tonight" Youko stopped in his tracks.
"They want to get a hold of Sachi… I suggest we start putting up guards, and find Hiei, where the fuck is he?" Rosa asked herself more than anyone else, and just like the answer to her prayers the fire demon slipped in through the window.
He took one look at her and blinked.
"What the fuck happened?" he asked confused, he took a step toward her, Rosa just shook her head.
"Nothing… just a disagreement…" Hiei stared at her as she spoke these words; he took a sniff of the air.
"You smell like-"
"Just end it! Nothing happened!" and with that she disspeared up the stairs angrily, Hiei felt his blood boil at the thought of that bastard even being near his onna.
He stomped up the stairs after her.
"Damnit" Youko muttered under his breath as he looked around and then at his daughter, she was in danger.
'What are we going to do…?'
