-Chapter 2-

'Boredom… Boredom… Boredom'

Is the only though that kept swimming through Rosa's mind as she rolled her eyes at the fox teacher in front of her… who just so happened to insult her about her tardiness not but a few moments ago.

I mean you would think that wench would be use to it by now? Rosa was never on time… it was against her own nature to do anything right.

Rosa just sat up into an Indian style position and starred into the sky with a glazed over look.

Flashback

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier Rosalina… I just didn't think you were old enough" her mother muttered lowly as Rosa felt her temperature boil.

"SO YOU MEAN I'M A DAMN FIRE DEMON!?!" she screamed her eyes glaring red as her fists clenched at her sides.

"Don't say damn young lady" her mother scolded as Rosa stomped her foot in annoyance.

"That doesn't matter right now MOTHER!!! I swear I am almost 8 years old and you won't even tell me that my own father is a fire demon… how could you keep something like that from me… how could you LIE to me like that?" she asked as she looked down at the floor her lilac orbs scanning for anything but her mother's face.

Youko stared at his sister and then to his mother.

"Maybe you should tell-" but his request was stopped abruptly by his mother's glare

"Tell me what?" Rosa asked as her mother sighed and glared at her older child.

"Nothing…. Just…. Nothing" she mumbled as Ross growled and clenched her claws into her fists.

"FINE KEEP EVERYTHING FROM ME WHY DON'T YOU!" and with that she stormed out of the door and slammed it behind her.

End of Flashback

That was two weeks ago… she hadn't talked to her family since then… not even her brother, whom seemed to be very anxious about something at the moment.

Rosa snapped back into reality when she felt someone slapping her hand, she looked up to see a very frustrated instructor.

"I swear Miss Rosa you can never keep your mind out of the clouds for two minutes and that's when you decide to show up… I think I am going to have to talk to your mother about this" Rosa shook her head slightly

"I don't think you want to do that" she mumbled lowly with wide eyes.

"Oh and why not"

"Because my mother is your boss and she would probably just blame situation on you" Rosa said as the instructor suddenly stood erect.

That was right, Rosa's mother WAS the leader of the fox pack… that was until her brother would come of age… but that didn't seem to make a difference in their opinion of Rosa… it always seemed they despised and looked down upon her… but what did she know, her whole life was a lie but her standards.

"Fine then… well then show me how your dancing is coming along young lady" they women said sternly, Rosa just looked up at her and then sat back.

"I don't feel like dancing…. Hn" she heard the classes gasps at her sudden disobedience, who cared if dancing was what a fine young female kitsune was born to do… she WASN'T gonna be another damn damsel that was for sure and besides… she WAS only half kitusne… not that they knew that.

"Miss Rosa you MUST learn this it is your duty AS a little female kitsune and you know that… what would your mother think?" the women scolded making Rosa just growl and stand up, untying her swollen feet she stepped on this the platform and did the routine they had practiced earlier.

Only she slipped

And then again

And then AGAIN!

"That's enough young lady please step down" the women said with a pitiful tone… Rosa stared at her for a minute then jumped off the stage.

'Maybe the fact that I am fire demon… is the reason I suck at this so bad… I guess it makes sense' Rosa thought as she sat down on the soft grass.

"You may go now… and hopefully improve… I swear I don't understand why this is so difficult for you" Rosa just grumbled and pulled her shoes on and grabbed her bag… taking off into the woods…

'at least she doesn't know about my… situation… that's good I guess my mother hasn't spread this around… I guess I'll have to jump through the vent again …joy' as soon as her thoughts subsided she felt a rain drop upon her nose.

"Great…" she thought as she ran into an umbrage that the autumn trees provided, her long pale dresses swayed behind her as she pulled her thousand of curls into a pony tail.

'damn dress makes me look so pitiful… I'll have to change before I leave… for my run´ She thought as she looked down at her outfit, she was determined to get her mother to change her mind about making her dress like a 'good little girl' she despised that phrase… not to mention what she was forced to wear.

She loved to run… she couldn't help the fact that her mind urged her to let everything fall behind her… and a dress was just not made for that… that's why she brought her OWN clothes.

Rosa ducked by a stream and watched as drops of water decorated its stolid surface… she ducked quickly and changed.

She emerged with her long curls tied back into two long pig tails and a dark red baggy tee-shirt and black sweat pants. That made her 7 year-old body look more boyish than anything else… she had to run off her anger… had to run off the lies she was covered with head to toe

Crack

Rosa looked up for the sound and saw something move quickly from above her.

"Who's there?? Reveal yourself coward" she yelled only to receive a pompous 'Hn'

The he jumped to the ground in front of her… she looked at who was in front of her and couldn't understand who the kid was, he wore all black and had a white bandana tied around his forehead… then it hit her.

"Hey I remember you… you're the butt head from two years ago" she said with a chuckle as she watched the demons dace turn into a rigid glare.

"Shut up girl, it's not like I want to be here" he growled as Rosa just stared at him.

"Don't call me a girl I swear I'll throw you in that tree" she said with a glare that equaled if not conquered his.

"Hn please you couldn't kill a fly rather me little girl... besides what are you saying you're a man" He grinned as he watched her eyes lower angrily.

"SHUT UP YOU JERK! "She screamed as she raced at him and went to sock one to him… only missing in the process and tumbling into the dirt floor.

"Hn you're slow… you shouldn't get so agitated so easily… you'll get killed like that girl" Rosa lifted her head from the dirt when she heard hi statement and just pushed herself from her fallen position.

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!?" she screamed as she ran at him again… just receiving the same tumble to the ground… this time when she began to rise she felt a cold blade pressed against her neck.

"You're wasting my time girl, why don't you give up you can't win" Rosa looked over at him, his crimson eyes just poured anger at her as her glared and then sheathed his sword.

"You're not worth the bloody mess you would cause" he stated pompously.

"You have a sword"

"a katana… yeah so what's your point?" he said sharply as Rosa shook her head.

"Hn… just wondering… Hiei… isn't it?" she asked as he just turned and began to walk away.

"HEY WHERE ARE YOU GOING I WAS TALKING TO YOU!!!!"

"Hn it's none of your business" Rosa stopped for a moment then raced after him angrily, he stopped abruptly once he felt a rose zoom pass him and impale the tree in front of him… splitting it in half and making several red and orange leaves tumble to the soft earth… he turned around.

"Are you trying to kill me, because that was pathetic aim girl" he said, he knew he was getting to her and it made him muse over her agitated state.

"SHUT UP!" she said panting softly as she pulled the two pig tails behind her letting them run down her back.

"Hn" she stared at him as he began to walk again once more.

"FINE YOU WAIT THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOU BUTT-HEAD I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS! EVEN USING A KATANA! YOU WAIT I'M GONNA BEAT YOU AT YOUR OWN GAME!" she screamed as he just left into the pouring rain.

"Hn, like you couldn't even swing the thing girl…" and with that he was gone of sight.

' Damnit I swear I'm gonna beat him… screw what my family thinks, even if I have to keep it a secret he's gonna go down!!' she let the rain pour upon her now shivering form, maybe this was what she was looking for.. .Becoming something no one else did or dared to do, to go against the social order of demon world and become a female katana fighting fire-kitsune.
