-Chapter 9-

Ross breathed heavily as she dropped her katana on the ground with a loud 'THUD'.

' I wonder what Tye meant in that note… I feel like I have been out here for days' she thought as she fell to her knees in exhaustion. She knew she needed to get back to help search for Sachi, and maybe go find Hiei and see if he could give clues to where they were keeping her.

She stood up slowly her knee was aching from the training and she was dripping with sweat.

'Damnit! I wish I had asked Hiei where their lair was, but I was so damn preoccupied with my hormones…. Ugh damn being a teenager again!' she thought as she took off into the woods towards home.

"Does she do this often?" Chi Chi asked irritated as she stared out the window in the direction her daughter had taken off in yet again, she turned to Kurama and the others.

Kurama sighed as she leaned back in his chair. "Yes… Ross has a very hard time dealing with things when she thinks it's her fault… I'm sure she is just regrouping-" with that the door opened and Ross stepped in looking haggard and tired.

She stared around the room and then at Kurama. "Why do I have a feeling you were just talking about me?" she asked as he blinked and then emitted a cold stare towards her.

"Perhaps that is because I was just talking about you... what have you been doing? You have been gone almost a whole day!" Kurama asked as he stared at her exhausted looking sister.

"I was just… getting some frustration out, I'm going to go shower… have you gotten any more news on…." Ross looked down at the ground as she thought of Sachi.

"No" Elaine said, her tone was full of remorse, Ross looked around the room, they all looked as if they hadn't slept in days and all the life had been sucked out of them… she knew she had to go see Tye…. She couldn't stand to see them like this for much longer.

"I'm going to go shower" and with that Ross walked up the stairs without another word.

"Hmm…" Kurama thought as he watched his sister leave 'something is going on… I need to find Sachi soon, Kami only knows what they are doing to her'

Rosa listened to the clock down the hall tick meticulously as she tied her boots. She has transformed back into Rosa after her long deserved shower 'Kurama expects something, damn kitsune he is too observant for his own good. I hope he doesn't notice me gone…' she opened the window quietly and jumped onto the soft ground below her.

'I need to find Sachi no matter what' she reminded herself quietly as she took off for the woods where she was to meet her ex Tye.

'Stupid kitsune' Tye thought as he leaned against a sturdy moss covered tree a smirk played upon his features as he felt her energy coming closer.

'Good thing they have that Hiei in the dungeon with Sachi, like he could stop me anyways' Tye looked up to see Rosa come into view.

"So, I see you decided to follow my instructions, good girl" he stated, a low growl could be heard from the fire kit in front of him.

"Fuck you Tye, I just came here to see what you had to offer, don't think I'm going to be quick to agree" she spat as she watched him and then suddenly felt a knife against her neck and hot breathe of its owner breathing into her ear.

"I don't think you have much of a choice, you see you'll never find where Sachi is hidden and even if you did you would never be able to get in without my help," he said as a smirk crawled back onto his face. Rosa could feel her anger boiling.

"And why is that?" Rosa asked only to feel the knife become more forcefully drawn across her neck.

"You know as well as I do Rosa that your sisters are very cunning when it comes to hiding, why do you think your mother and her clan haven't been able to stop them up to this point" Tye chuckled as her felt Rosa squirm within his grasp. She knew it was right… she knew she would have to comply with his "favor", Sachi deserved as much help as she could give, and if that meant lowering herself to his level she'd have to do it… unfortunately.

"What is it that you want Tye?" She asked angrily, she heard Tye purr into her ear and it made the hair on the back of her neck stand on end. He stomped on her tail violently making Rosa emit a loud yelp.

"I want you Rosa… all of you" he purred, Rosa's mouth went dry as she thought about the words that she just heard from that bastard kitsune.

"What! Why!" Rosa screeched as she heard Tye chuckle loudly.

"Why? Why! Because I know that you and Hiei have mated again and it would give me great pleasure to take you as my own, so that everyone knows how much of a tramp you, besides" Tye dropped the blade and ran his hands down her body

"Your body isn't half bad, something I wouldn't mind concurring" Rosa forced her way out of his arms and stood staring at the kitsune. She couldn't do it, she knew that if she mated with Tye everyone would know she had betrayed Hiei, she could never do that to Hiei… but if she killed him anyways in battle, if she could find a way to Sachi… was it worth it… could she force herself to let the dirty bastard take her as his own.

"How do I know I can trust you, How do I know you won't send me on some wild goose chase?" She asked angrily as she watched the kitsune stare at her with lust.

Tye smirked as his eyes focused on Rosa's curves. "Do you really have any other choice? Besides the reason you can not find their lair is because it is invisible without this" and with that Tye grabbed a charm from under his shirt and brought it into Rosa's view.

She looked at the charm, she has seen one similar embedded within Hiei's wrist the night they… she knew she needed it- no matter what, even if it meant her dignity.

"F-fine" she stuttered "but I want the charm now and this only to happen once" Tye smirked.

"Hah! Agreed, not that it's going to matter; I only need one time to set you straight. And with that Tye grabbed a large chunk of Rosa's hair and pushed her to the ground ripping her clothes off in the process.

Rosa screeched in pain as she felt the bastard take her down to the ground stripping her naked, she felt cold and humiliated as Tye forced her onto her knees and dug his claws into her back scrapping them all the way down, again and again as he took her forcing a hand over her mouth so the screams wouldn't penetrate the night.

Rosa felt dirty and used, and ached all over as she limped towards her family's home. All she wanted to do was go shower away the disgusting scent of that bastard kitsune and to try and make sense of what happened.

She clenched the pendent in her hand as she entered her window, she sighed

At least now they had a fighting chance, at least now they could find Sachi and make things right, even if it meant she was to be shunned betrayed by her family for giving herself when she was already betrothed to someone else… even if it meant Hiei would never forgive her.

She felt hot tears drench her face. "what have I done?" she whispered into the night as she hit her knees in exhaustion… and in defeat.
