It's ok that you didn't see the note. And thank you all!

Jeanette was thrown onto the temple floor by a few students. "Jenny!" Cole ran over to her and dropped down next to her, he gently moved a lock of her hair behind her ear, then looked up at Yang with anger. "What have you done!?" He demanded.

"The girl is fine." Yang said simply. "And no Cole. What have you done?"

Cole slowly and carefully stood up, a little dificult when your handcuffed, and he was not wanting to trip over Jeanette, as he nearly fell on top of her as he stumbled to his feet. "How? How could I steal the Yin Blade and release all those ghosts!?"

"Your rash behavior." Yang hissed out. "Your mind is clouded with wanting your revenge on me."

"So you took Cole's fear of departing." Jeanette's voice had Cole turn, to watch as she very slowly sat up, rubbing her head. "Advantage on him." She glared at Yang as she sat on the floor next to Cole.

"Jeanette!" Cole smiled. "You're ok! So Lloyd's not gonna kill me!"

"You." Yang had both Ninja turn to him. "You got scared that your friends have forgotten you."

"That's a lie!" Jeanette yelled, she turned to look up at Cole. "Cole, I know your father hasn't forgotten about you! How can he forget about his only son, the only family he has left?"

"I took advantage of your fragel and emotion state!" Yang pointed at Cole with the blade. "It took some time for me to work on my revenge, for this night to come!" He then pointed his blade at Jeanette. "But you, you just had to try and find a cure for him!"

"Of course I did!" Jeanette pushed herself up so she was now standing next to Cole, but Yang snapped his fingers and the students suddenly grabbed her.

"Hey!" Cole yelled, grabbing a student and yanking the student away from his friend. "Let her go!" He yelled, but he soon found himself being grabbed.

"Take her to the basement!" Yang ordered. "I'll deal with her later!"

"Cole!" Jeanette cried as some students yanked and pulled her away.

"Jeanette!" Cole cried as he struggled against the students. "Stay strong Jen! I'll find you, and then we'll find a way out of this mess!"

Up in the old monastery, Wu didn't have to turn around, for he knew who was behind him. "Morro." He acknowledged, then started to turn around. "My former student." He turned completely around to face him. "How have you returned?"

"The question we should be asking ourselves, Sensei." Morro said cryptically, passing his sword in his face. "Is why?"

Jeanette was sitting alone in the basement, she was now handcuffed as she sat on the very cold floor, with her back pressed up against the wall behind her. Once again she felt alone, once again it was just her, once again nobody came for her. Alone, abandon, not wanted. All three of those were bad enough as it was, but put them all together, you get a mess.

"I never wanted you!"

"Just another mouth to feed!"

"You were the mistake that I regretted keeping!"

Jeanette closed her eyes tightly as she shook her head, trying to get her mother's angry voice out of her head.

"Listen, you little wiseacre: I'm smart, you're dumb; I'm big, you're little; I'm right, you're wrong, and there's nothing you can do about it!"

Nope, still not working! She pulled her knees up to her chest and lowered her forehead down onto them as the trears slid down her cheeks.

Suddenly the door exploded open to reveal Cole stalking in. "Jen!" He ran over to her, but stopped short and nearly fell over his own feet. "Jenaette!" He gasped, staring at his friend.

Jeanette was fading, like he had eailier.

"Jenny." Cole hurried over to her. "Come on!" He cried. "Snap out of it!"

"Snap out of what? Just go back alone without me." She told him, not moving. Cole sat on his knees in front of her.

"What are you talking about? We need to get out of here! Like now!" He tried to take her hands, but with her fading away, he couldn't - even with himself still a ghost. "What's going on with you?"

"Let's just face the facts Cole." Jeanette finally lifted her head to face him, tears gilttering in her eyes. "Nobody wants me. Why do you think I was in hiding? For kicks?"

"You said it was always because of Morro's enemies. And what the hell are you talking about with nobody wanting you?"

"It's the truth. Nobody wants me." She moved her head to not face him anymore. "My real mom never wanted me, she only kept me around cause of my father and brother, then when they left. Guess who got stuck taking care of dear old grandma? Me!" She shook her head. "Mom worked all the time, I didn't get any attention from her. Not once! After dad died, it was a month later when Morro didn't come home, she lost it and died after he left. Grams held on for a year after that." She took a breath as the painful memories flooded into her. "So I ran."

"Aww Jen." Cole wanted to pull her into his arms for a soothing hug. "You're not alone! Not anymore!" He tried to take her hand again, but their hands kept fading. "Jenny." He started, and she finally turned her head to look up at him. "You. Are. Not. Alone! Not anymore! You have us Ninja as a family. Lloyd is going to marry you, yeah he's a little chicken right now, but he will! We all have your back, a Ninja never quits, or leaves another behind."

"But who wants a pour girl? A dirt pour girl, who's lost every member to her family? Nobody! Nobody lifted a finger to help me. Not once, not even for a minute!"

"That's in the past!" Cole reminded her. "The rift to the living is almost here! We gotta leave now, or." He trailed off. "Or our friends will forget both of us!" He reached out again, this time he was able to place his hand on top of hers. "What about Cyrus Borg?" He tried. "He's your adopted father, isn't he?"

Jeanette finally snapped out of whatever it was she was in. "He is!"

"Then fight for him Jenny!" Cole said firmly. "Fight to see him again!" He stood up. "I am not leavng here without you!" He held out his hand for her.

Jeanette looked at his hand, then closed her eyes and she became human again. Opening her eyes she quickly took his hand, when he pulled her up he snapped off her handcuffs.

"Come on!" He took her hand and together they quickly ran.
