Authoress' note' – alright…. I know I have been very bad not writing in years….literally. and I apologize it has been a very busy few years since the last time I updated. Anyways, I was just thinking about this story lately and I figured I should continue it :-) so here you go. Review if you want :-D

-Chapter 8-

As Ross trudged back to the house her eye lids began to droop, she was till exhausted from the night before. She blushed as she thought of the previous events.

'I gotta get Sachi back, I should have been more careful watching her… damn my sisters' she thought as she turned the knob to her house.

She closed it sharply behind her, and looked up to see eyes peering at her from the kitchen.

"And where have you been all night?" Chi Chi asked only getting a pair of eyes rolled at her as Ross passed her and opened the fridge.

Kurama's eyes widened as he smelled Ross as she passed, Elaine felt herself blushing as she smelled Hiei's scent.

"Ross…" Kurama looked at the 17 year old as she took a swig of her drink she had recently pulled from the fridge. She glanced at him and then took a step towards the stairs.

"Kurama…. Don't even think about starting a conversation about what I know you are thinking right now" Ross said, Kurama stood up blocking her entrance to the stairs.

"Mom and Dad would have your hide if they were here right now!" He whispered loudly, Ross shrugged

"You would think they would be use to it and besides its none of their concern, I'm going to go take a shower – you better keep your mouth shut" She stated a little harshly at the end as she began to climb the stairs.

"I don't understand… how could" Elaine stopped in the middle of her sentence when she heard the front door click shut, Rosa's parents entered the room only to find Ross running up the stairs.

"So she is back I see" Patty stated as she poured herself a cup of coffee. Kurama looked toward the stairs.

"Yes… I am…. Going to go search some more" and with that Kurama left the house shutting the door a little more harshly then was expected.

Yusuke and Kuwabara stared at Elaine. "What was that all about" Yusuke asked only making Elaine's blush grow a deeper shade of red.

"It's nothing" she said quickly as she left the room leaving Ross' family and Yusuke and Kuwabara pondering.

Ross sighed as she felt the hot water on her skin. She sniffed the air; she could still smell Hiei's scent and smiled at the thought of him then felt herself holding back tears.

'what am I going to do' she thought as she heard a knock at the door.

"yeah?" she yelled from the shower.

"Ross a letter just game for you by messenger, come down stairs when you are done" she heard her mother yell through the door followed by fading footsteps.

'a letter?' she was tempted to go downstairs but she knew she still reeked of the fire demon from the night before, and she knew she couldn't answer the questions her family would throw at her if they smelled her. It was improper for a couple to mate before their ceremony and even if she was human now she still held those morals in high regard.

Besides… they didn't even know they were betrothed again.

Hiei felt the curse start to take hold as he made his way back to the wenches' territory

He felt a smirk cross his features as he thought of him and his onna from the night before.

'Hn Kurama's gonna find out… hopefully not her parents… though I guess it doesn't matter now' he thought as he heard one of the sisters yell for him he couldn't tell which one.

"Hiei get up here now!" she heard them screw only making him growl until he felt his mind being over powered by the trance he had gotten subjected to – had no choice but to obey.

He turned the corner to see Tabitha and Stasha sitting around what seemed to be a map of some sort. Stasha looked up from what she was doing.

"And where the hell have you been" She growled only getting a blank stare from the fire demon.

"Ugh I hate this trance they can never give you any good answers" Stasha whined only getting a nod from Tabitha.

"Hiei go down to the dungeon with Sachi and stay there" Tabitha ordered only to watch the fire demon leave through the basement door.

"He smells like Rosa" Stasha stated turning to her sister.

Tabitha smirked at the realization and turned to Stasha with a toothy grin.

"They mated again… this is perfect" she chuckled as she stood up to leave, Stasha ruffled her brow.

"What do you mean sister?" she asked only to see Tabitha turn before she left the room.

"You'll see" and with that the blonde fox demon vanished.

Ross lost a step coming down the stairs and tumbled forward hitting the floor hard.

"Ow" she murmured as she rubbed her butt, Wes chuckled.

"Damn and you don't even have a tail to trip over any more" he said making her glare in return, she made her way to the counter picking up the letter that her mother had told her about earlier.

"It was a really strange looking man that left that for you" she stated making Ross raise a brow… it said Rosa on the front.

She tore the back open; as she read the contents on the paper she looked confused.

'Rosa or should I say Ross,

Our interaction before in the woods made me realize how pathetic you are thinking you could defeat me. However, I have decided to make a compromise. I will give you clues on how to get past your sisters' barrier and get your niece back for…. A favor. Meet me in the woods tomorrow night. And you better be alone, and if you tell anyone of our meeting I'll make sure you never find Sachi again.'

Tye'

"What is it?" Yusuke asked looking up from his lunch

Ross crumbled the paper in her had tightly into a ball stuffing it into her pocket.

"Nothing detective, I'm going to train" and with that she vanished out the back door.
