~~~~~~~~~~~
Jade cried as she heard Sano. She went to her bed and cried, cried until she had nothing left. She continued to lay there for a few hours, thinking about her life. My life.a living hell. She wanted Sano so bad, she wanted to taste his lips, wanted to be held in his strong arms. But she knew that was almost impossible. Almost. In a fit of anger and grief, Jade went to her bathroom, and slammed her hand against the wall. She went to the mirror and started hard into it. She heard her own voice, look at you Jade, a pitiful toy, your being used for dirty work, and you let yourself. This world would be better off without you. Sano doesn't need you. she cried out, and slammed her fist against the mirror, sending shards of glass everywhere. She slammed her hands at it again and again, until there was nothing left of the glass, and her hands where covered in cuts, with blood dripping off them. She ran her hands up her face, covering her lips with blood. I want to see what my own blood tastes like. She sobbed and fells to the floor. She began to think.this world was not meant for her.and Sano doesn't need.no.he deserves better than her. She took a hold of a piece of glass and stared it. Suddenly, she slashed her wrist, then her arm, and again, until her left arm was cut up and bleeding. She slashed again to the other arm.making it like its twin. She cut her ankles and again at her arms, wincing in pain. Dizzy from the pain and rapid loss of blood, her head fell. Stared at the ceiling, and thought that now, all the pain would be over. She would never have to kill again. Everything was becoming black, and her breath faltering. She was just about to pass out when she heard Sano yell.
*****
"JADE!" Sano yelled. "KENSHIN!! I NEED HELP OVER HERE!!!" Kenshin ran in and gasped at Jade's lifeless and bloody body. "GO!" Sano bawled. Kenshin ran to her room and gathered her coat and some cloths. He went back to Sano and he was holding her in his arms. "She's not breathing, we need to get her to a hospital" Sano told Kenshin. "I know where one is" Kenshin said, sprinting for the door. Sano ran afterward. You can make it Jade. Sano thought as they ran down the street toward the hospital. Once they got inside Sano ran up the desk. The clerk gasped and looked at Sano. "She's not breathing and she's lost a lot of blood." He told her. The clerk nodded and grabbed the phone, pushing a button. "Trauma in the lobby, code red! I repeat trauma in the lobby, code red."
Almost at once a stretcher appeared with a two nurses and a doctor. "Oh my god." The doctor said looking at her body. "Put her on" the doctor told Sano. Sano placed her on the stretcher and they started pushing her to the emergency room, Kenshin and Sano following. "What the hell happened?!" the doctor asked. "I don't know. I found her like this, I think she tried to kill herself." Sano explained. "She's not breathing doctor" one of the nurses told her. "Shit." the doctor muttered. They pushed Jade in the room and one of the nurses told Sano and Kenshin that they need to wait outside.
Sano sat down at one of the chairs followed by Kenshin. He put his head in his hands and groaned. Kenshin placed his hand on Sano's shoulder, trying to comfort him. "Sano.Miss Jade is very strong. I have a feeling she will be ok. You must believe in her that you do." Kenshin said sympathetically. "She did this because of me.for what I told her." Sano said, ignoring Kenshin. "You don't know that." Kenshin told him. "I do.for a cold hard fact.I do" Sano whispered. After about 10 minutes, one of the nurses emerged from the room, looking very serious.
~~~~~~~~~
"her injuries are extremely severe. She lost a lot of blood and had gone on a suppressed time without breathing." The nurse said. Sano glared at her.what the hell she is saying!? Is Jade ok or what? "Skip the medical talk. is Jade ok?" Sano asked irritably. The nurse smiled. "She'll be ok. But.you may want to talk to her, or maybe make her see a therapist." The nurse suggested. "She's not some psycho ok? She's just going through a tough time." Sano almost yelled. "Whatever you say. You can see her. But she's unconscious. The doctor will be stitching up her cuts and giving her some blood." The nurse said formally and walked away. Sano and Kenshin went inside her room and both gasped. Blood was all over her bed sheets and the doctors clothing. Sano saw the doctor and nodded to her. Kenshin and he sat at two chairs next to Jade. She looked ghostly pale, and her lips were almost blue. "She's a strong one. I didn't expect her to survive to tell you the truth. Do you have any idea why she did this you two?" the doctor asked, stitching up Jade's cuts. Sano didn't reply and shot Kenshin a look, he nodded. "Miss Jade has been going through a rough time. I'm sure that with some talking.she'll be ok. She just needs support right now from the ones she loves." Kenshin said, giving Sano a look of mischief. Sano snorted at the look. "I see.well.you better talk to her. Another suicidal attempt like this will kill her." The doctor told them getting up. She called in a nurse, and they pushed Jade to a recovery room. Once inside, the two were alone with Jade. Sano looked at her pale face, though some of its color was returning. "Sano" Kenshin called. "Hmm?" Sano replied, not taking his eyes of his Jade. Mine.she's not mine. Jade belongs to no one. He thought. "Don't you think that Miss Jade did this because of Desdemona? You don't have to blame your self that you don't." Kenshin said to Sano. He nodded. Suddenly, Sano felt so angry. He felt this was all Desdemona's fault, if he wasn't around this wouldn't have happened to Jade. "Bastard" Sano muttered. "We'll take care of him Sano. I can't let him get away with doing this to her, I cannot." Kenshin said his tone serious.
After a few hours, Jade began to stir and she fluttered her eyes open. "Kenshin.can I be alone with her for a bit?" Sano whispered. Kenshin nodded and left the room, closing the door slowly behind him. Jade looked around, and then at Sano. At first her eyes were normal, looking as if nothing had happened. Then, as if it all came back to her in a flood her eyes widened and filled up with tears. "Sano." she whimpered. "Jade.don't cry please." Sano tried to calm her down, but her breath came in sharp sobs. She lifted her arms up and looked at her cuts, crying more. Sano leapt up from his chair and held Jade, letting her sob in his arms. "I wanted to die! Why didn't you let me die!? If I was dead.then." she continued to cry even harder until Sano let go of her and glared. "Shut up! Don't say that! Who the hell are you huh? The Jade I know wouldn't break down this easily! Why you crying for? Don't you realize this is what he wants? He wants this and your giving it to him on a god damn silver platter!" Sano yelled. Jade looked up angrily and him. "You don't know what its like!! How dare you!? How dare you act like you can make me feel better?! You don't know what it's like having no life. Being controlled like a fucking puppet! To kill Sano.TO KILL! You don't know what it's like, knowing that you'll die a person who led no life! A person with destroyed dreams! You don't know what it's like not being able to love the person your in love with, to know if you love him.he can get killed." Her voice lowered on the last sentence, tears streaking down her face. He looked at her, and lowered his eyes.
She was right. He didn't know what it was like. He had been able to choose his life, live the way he wanted too. He remembered her last sentence. "Jade.I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you that. It's just.I don't.I. I don't want to see you like this. I want to see you full of life, and strength." He held his hand out to her. "Let me help you Jade. I'll take care of you. I promise.-". "NO! I can't Sano.I can't love" she sobbed. "Hey listen. Desdemona's after us already. I don't care if I die. At least I can die.knowing that.damn it I'm not good at this. You know what I mean." He told her. She nodded. "You'll die knowing I loved you." She whispered. He nodded. "And I won't die. You won't either. I will NEVER allow that. You understand?" he said, boring into her eyes. She nodded. "Sano.thank you." He went to her and held her, his temple resting on hers. "I'll do anything for you Jade. For the girl I.love." He whispered. "It's so strange.I've never seen you like this. Your soft side, I like it." She whispered back. He moved his head so his lips were centimeters to hers. "no." she whispered. "Why?" he smiled. "It's too dangerous. I can't have you get killed. To lose something.-" "oh shut up for once Jade" he said. And with that he bent down and captured her lips with his own.
Jade hesitated, but responded slowly. Sano placed his hand on the back of her head deepening the kiss. Jade ran her hand in his silky gravity defying hair, playing with his ribbon. They broke the kiss, and Sano smiled. "What do you say to that Miss It's too dangerous?" "I say I want more". with no objections Sano bent down and kissed her again. This time Jade not hesitating, and the kiss not as shy. By this time Kenshin was rather bored, so he went inside the room. "ORO?!" he looked at the kissing couple who didn't know he was there. "Uum.Sano.Miss Jade?" but they didn't reply, and continued on kissing. "Ok.I'm just going to get some food.by my-self.I'll let you two.um...that I shall." He said as he quickly darted out of door.
Their kiss ended again and the two looked in each others eyes. "So.are we ok?" Sano asked. Jade nodded. "Was Kenshin in here just now?" Jade asked perplexed. "Eer.I denno..." Sano replied. "Jade.promise me one thing." Sano told her. "What?" "Please don't ever.ever.do this again. I'll be around. No matter what world I'm in.always." "I promise Sano." Jade said, kissing him.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Desdemona watched the scene in the small crystal ball he held. He nearly crushed it with anger. She belongs to me.no other man deserves to touch her but me. "Yes Jade. Live your fairy tale. But you will see beyond bliss when you are with me." He said, as if talking to her. He laid the ball onto the cushion and got up from his chair. "The time has come to put my plan into action. I must get rid of that fighter. He is in my way. He broke the spell, but he will not be able to this time." he told himself as he walked through his home and to his clothing area. He put on a pair of black leather pants, black combat boots, and a matching shirt. He threw on his silk cape, with red sown on the inside. He looked in the mirror, his smile evil and nerve rattling. He strode out of the room and grabbed his sword muttering "linos" as he slid it onto his back. "I'm coming dear Jade. Make ready for me." He said as he shut the door behind him.
******
The hospital was quiet and dark. All the visitors went home, and this section of the hospital was as if almost dead. Jade was fast asleep in her room, for the first time, not having a nightmare. A receptionist was sitting as a man approached her. "Oh sir visiting times are over" she said. But suddenly the man pointed his hand to her and said "verida" and the women screamed as a flash of red lightning came from his hand and impacted her body. She fell to the floor dead. "Visiting times for the mortals I'm afraid." He laughed as he stepped over her body and made way to Jade's room. He walked in and peered on her lovely face. He walked closer to her and was above her bed, looking onto her, resisting the urge to make her his right then and there. He bent down and laid kisses on her neck to her cheek. Jade stirred. "Sano." she quietly moaned. It took every fiber of his being not to slam his hand down on her.
"Jade" Desdemona said softly. She opened her eyes and looked at him and almost screamed. "Silenceia" he said. When she opened her mouth to scream, nothing came out. He laid down on top of her, Jade tried to struggle but he held her arms down. "Don't try it Jade. Your efforts are of no value." He whispered. "Now Jade.I was led to believe that the fighter was nothing more than an infatuation." He asked. Jade opened her mouth, only to shut it again remembering she couldn't speak. Desdemona bent down and started to lick and nibble on the flesh on her neck, causing her fingernails to dig down into his skin. He hissed in pain, but smiled. "Now Jade you're just exciting me more.pain is pleasure to me." He laughed at her pitiful look.
He stopped laughing when he saw her close her eyes and concentrate. "Your not actually trying to break the spell are you Jade?" he asked mockingly. He laughed again. "I'm afraid you won't be able to." he told her as he bent to continued to torture her neck when he heard a laugh. He looked up at the smiling Jade. "You underestimate me." she said. He smiled. "I do sweet Jade." He told her. "You've grown stronger." He complimented her. "That I have." she said. "But not enough" he said as he picked her up and shoved her against the wall. She gasped in pain as he grabbed her cut arms and held them up. He forced his lips onto hers and painfully kissed her. Jade didn't respond but bit down on his lip making him bleed. "That's how it is then." he said his lip bleeding. "Love me Jade.I can give all that you ask for. Just love me in return." he pleaded. "I love one person only." She hissed. He tightened his grip on her arms making her cringe in pain. "I.can never love someone like you.ever! And you can't control me to. Sano will make sure of that.the man who really loves me!" she yelled. Desdemona growled and dropped her onto the floor. "Hear this Jade. If you don't be with me.I will kill you.and him." He whispered.
"Then let me rot in hell."
She growled as she jumped up and punched him in the face, leaving a red mark. "I see.if that is what you want Jade. I won't stop you." He whispered. He strode out of the door and gave Jade one last look before disappearing. Jade gave no care and went back to her bed, taking a deep breath.and falling asleep, a nightmare less sleep.
*******
The next day Sano came by to take Jade home. He went into her room to find her sitting next to her window, blinds open, and looking outside. "Hey" he said. She turned her head toward him and gave him a sad smile. He went up to her and kissed her on her forehead. "Something wrong?" he asked. "I just heard about the nurse who was killed." Jade told him. Sano nodded. "Desdemona." he whispered. She nodded, turning her head away. "Tell Kenshin battle is near. He'll strike soon. He came to my room last night, he put a spell on me but I broke it.on my own. He wanted me, now he knows he can't have me. I am useless to him now. He must fight Kenshin on his own." She told him, looking out of the window. "You broke the spell on your own." he smiled. "Because of you. You made me stronger." She smiled back. He nodded and went to her for an embrace. Jade laid her head on his chest, and Sano laid his head on her forehead. "Do you wanna get outta here or what?" he asked. "Let's go.I hate hospitals." She said getting up. She dressed in the clothes Sano brought her, and went to the desk to check out. "Take care of your self Jade." The nurse told her. "I will" she smiled, looking at Sano, who smiled back.
The exited the hospital and Sano took her hand. "I have something special planned." He told her. "What?" she replied. "Let's pick up some food. I wanna spend the day with you at the park. Kenshin found it on one of his walks." He said. She smiled and slid her arm around him, laying her head on his arm as they walked.
Once again, the day was nice. It was warm, with a gentle breeze. The two were sitting next to a pond, in each others arms. They were telling funny stories, and laughing at jokes. "It's been so long.so long since I could relax like this." Jade told Sano. "Too long." He nodded. "It's the first time I've heard you laugh. That's why I'm telling you so many funny things, to hear your sweet laugh more." He said, kissing her cheek. Jade turned her head around to kiss him on the lips. It was one of the few passionate kisses they shared. She placed her hand on his chest, feeling his taut muscles through his shirt. His hand was on her back, tracing the small muscles there. When the kiss ended, Jade laid her head on his shoulder, and looked at her surroundings. "Sano?" she called. He looked at her in reply. "How much do you love me?" she smiled. "There aren't enough words. Even if there were, there wouldn't be enough time in the world to tell you. I'd do anything for you. When I saw you, at home, after you did that to yourself, I felt so empty. I felt like I lost you, and I couldn't bear to think of it. No one.not one person has had this affect on me. I love you so much. And when this is over, I'm going to stay here.with you." She told her. She grinned, a grin bigger than Sano had seen and hugged him close, kissing him passionately again. "I love you." She whispered. "I love you too" he answered. "It's late.poor Kenshin, he's all alone." Jade giggled. "Yeah. Let's go" he said as he got up. He help Jade up and held her as they walked back to her apartment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You reject me Jade.I'll make you pay for that." Desdemona said as he drunk his vodka. He slammed the glass down, shattering it and making his hands bleed. He licked the blood of his fingers, savoring the taste and imagining it to be Jade's. "Jade" he whispered. He closed his eyes, concentrating to call out to her again.
*****
Jade was awake, looking at Sano, admiring his features with the moonlight shining upon him. She gently pushed a lock of hair out of his face, and traced his jaw line with her finger. She was about to drift off into sleep when she heard it. "Jade" it was in her head, but she checked to make sure Sano didn't say it. "Jade".she heard it again, and Sano's lips didn't move. She groaned. "What now?" she asked mentally. "Meet me in the alleyway Jade." She heard. "no." she answered back. She felt the familiar dizzy feeling, but concentrated and pushed it away. "Not anymore.I'm not yours." she told him. "Meet me or I will kill him." He said his tone serious. She sighed. "I'm coming." She got up and got dressed, grabbing her sword and putting her invisible spell on it. In the meantime, Sano woke up, but didn't move. He saw Jade leaving and thought, is he controlling her again? He got up and threw his gi on, following her.
*****
"I'm glad you could make it Jade. I really did not feel like killing tonight." Desdemona told Jade. "What do you want from me?" she snapped. "I wish to tell you something." He said. "Humor me" she smiled a smug smile. Meanwhile, Sano was watching from a distance. "Have you ever wandered Jade? Wandered how the first 12 years of your life have been? Wandered how you learned to fight so well, where you get that sword?" he asked. "What are you saying?" she replied, confused. "Think Jade. Your sword"-he pulled his out "its design is similar to mine. Your fighting skills are identical to mine. We can communicate to each other through a mental connection." He told her. She gasped. "No.no.you aren't saying?" she cried. "Yes Jade.I am your father." he smiled. "NO!" she cried out. "Yes Jade.I trained you. Don't you remember now?" he asked. "Think.hard." he told her. She thought.and remembered.
*****
A young Jade is shown, her hair tied up and in a bandana, with a sword in her hand. She was sweating and breathing heavily. "Attack!" she heard. She let out a cry and struck her opponents sword, only be deflected. "Again! Strength.speed" she heard. She attacked again and struck, her opponents sword flying out of his hand. "Good Jade.you'll make a fine sword fighter." Desdemona said. "Thank you, father." She replied, with a young smile.
*****
"Yes.you remember." Desdemona told the crying Jade. "Why didn't you tell me?" she sobbed. "I didn't think it necessary." He said as he leaned in to kiss her. "NO!" she yelled as she pushed him away. He growled. He went to go slap her when he heard a yell. "You touch her and I'll kill you!" Sano yelled at Desdemona. "Restricto" Desdemona yelled at Sano, freezing him in place. He tried to move but couldn't. "Bastard!" he yelled. "What are you going to do about it Sano?!" he laughed. "Two birds with one stone." he muttered as he looked at Jade. He grabbed her by the stomach and stood her in front of him, so Sano could see. "Jade!" Sano yelled. "Sano..." she whispered. Desdemona ran his hands up her thigh and up to her face, over some private areas. "Stop it!" Jade sobbed. Sano balled up his fists so tight, they began to bleed. Suddenly Desdemona pulled out his sword, with one last lick to her neck and cheek.he plunged the sword into her back. "NOOO! JADE!" Sano yelled. She screamed in pain, and Desdemona twisted his sword, making her scream louder. He took his sword out, and Jade limped up. "forgive me Jade" he whispered, and he lept away high onto a building and disapeered. Once he was gone, he spell was broken for Sano and he ran to Jade and caught her before she fell to the ground. "NO! Jade PLEASE!" he yelled. "Sano.I'm sorry. I must tell you something. Because Desdemona is.my father, I have the same powers as he. I am giving them to you." she whispered. Sano felt a surge of power go through his body and looked at Jade. "Jade.you'll be ok.please.hold on" Sano pleaded. "It hurts so bad, but with you.I feel better. Please Sano.please.help Kenshin. I.I am sorry I couldn't help you." She cried. "NO! Your going to help.you'll be ok." he sobbed. "You have to be ok." he told her. "I love you Sano." her voice becoming lower. "I love you too! And you'll be ok." he sobbed. "Thank you Sano.for showing me.love. My dream came true because of you." She went to touch his cheek, and he kissed her hand. "Jade." he whimpered. "I'll be watching.my love." With that, her hand fell to the ground, and her body went limp as she closed her eyes. "Jade.Jade.Jade!! NO!! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! YOU CAN'T DIE.NOT YET...WE WERE SUPPOSED TO.BE TOGETHER." He cried. He buried his head in her neck and sobbed so hard, his body shook violently. "Jade." he whimpered, his face shown with tears. He held her hand up and kissed it. He picked her up, and carried her back to her home.
He walked into the door and Kenshin was found sitting on the couch. "Jade!" he cried as he leapt up to her. He gasped and looked at Sano. "He.he killed her Kenshin. His own daughter.I saw it all." Sano moaned. "I'm sorry Sano.I know you loved her.we'll take care of her.that we will." They took her to the park, and the same spot were she and Sano were that day; they piled wood and laid her body on it. Sano lit a torch, and threw it onto the pile, her body quickly being engulfed in flames.
Sano made a vow to himself right then and there. I will kill him.I will kill Desdemona. For my love.for Jade. "I'll DO IT FOR YOU JADE!" he yelled at the fire. Kenshin looked at him and nodded. "We go.now.to fight, Sano." Sano nodded, and with one last look at the fire and with a final "I love you" they walked off.
~~~~~~~~~~~
They stood in the middle of the alley way, in the same spot where she died. "I have feeling he will come here." Kenshin told Sano. Sano nodded. "Kenshin.I want to land the final punch." He told him. "You want to kill him." it was more a fact than a question. "It's the only way.for Jade. You can't change my mind." Sano said. "I wasn't going to." Kenshin said looking away.
Suddenly they heard a sound, and Desdemona was behind them. Kenshin whirled around to meet him. "So.it all comes down here Battousai, this battle shall decide out fate." Desdemona commanded. "I will make you pay for what you did to Miss Jade." Kenshin said. "And I will make YOU pay for making my life a living hell!" and with that Desdemona unleashed his sword and attacked Kenshin, Kenshin easily blocked it and swung his sword to be blocked also. Sano ran behind Desdemona and kicked him in the back, letting Kenshin strike him with his sword while he was distracted. Desdemona swung towards Sano, but Sano kicked his arm, sending his sword off. Kenshin Attacked, but Desdemona parried it and struck Kenshin, cutting him on his arm. Desdemona then hit Kenshin with the back his sword knocking him out. "Now you'll die." he said to Sano. "Bring it on." he sneered. Desdemona dropped his sword and removed his cloak and shirt, Sano did the same.
The two made their stances, and Sano was the first to punch. He impacted and heard a crunch as he hit him. Desdemona jumped up and kicked Sano in the back, a move similar to Jade's. Desdemona then punch Sano in the stomach and face, again, and again, until Sano was lying bloody and bruised against the wall. Sano weakly got up and kicked Desdemona in the back. But Desdemona picked up Sano and flipped him over. Sano go up and looked at Desdemona, who was smiling smugly. He pulled back his arm into a fist and lounged for Desdemona "Fuatea No Ki Wami!" he yelled as he went to perform his famous move. But Desdemona grabbed Sano's arm and twisted it towards his face so instead Sano punched himself. Desdemona picked him up and threw him against the wall. He groaned in pain and he lay on the ground. "Jade." he whispered. "I will.I'll kill him.but" he groaned again. He heard a voice.Jade's voice. "Sano! Use it!! You have new skill.use it! You can do it!" he heard her tell him. "Jade.?" he asked. "YES! Now use it! Hurry!" Sano knew what she was talking about, and got up to look at Desdemona. "you killed her." he said. "Yes.and it was the best kill I have ever done." Desdemona smiled evilly. Suddenly.Sano's eyes held flames.those like Desdemona's, only instead of red flames, they were blue flames. "THAT'S IT!!" Sano yelled. "VERIDA!" Sano screamed as he pointed his hand to Desdemona, blue lightning bolts rushed out of his hands, hitting Desdemona and causing him to yell in pain. Sano raised Desdemona up into the air magically, and grabbed Desdemona's sword off the ground. He lowered him again, and still electrocuting him, she shoved the sword into Desdemona's stomach, ands again. He fell to the ground and yelled in pain. "Now you know how it felt.to die.I killed you with the same sword that you killed Jade with.now it is stained with the blood it SHOULD have been stained with from the beginning!" Sano yelled throwing the sword onto the ground.
Desdemona dropped his head. "Sano.go to Japan. Jade is waiting for you there." he whispered before he died. Sano stared at his body bewildered, as it disappeared. "She's waiting for me?" he asked himself. "Sano." he heard a voice say. He looked at Kenshin, who was bleeding from the mouth and his arm. "I did it Kenshin. for Jade." Sano told him. "For Jade." Kenshin repeated. "Let's go home." Sano said. "How?" Kenshin asked. Sano explained how he received Jade's powers. "Since Desdemona could do it.I'll do it too." Sano said. He snapped his fingers, and the familiar vortex appeared. With one last look around them, they jumped in.
****
They were back.in front of the Dojo. "We're home" Kenshin muttered. "KENSHIN!" they heard a shrill screaming and Kauro pounced on Kenshin. "Where were you!? I was worried sick!" "Now now miss. Kauro.we'll explain inside." Kenshin said, as they went inside the Dojo. Megumi and Yahiko were there and they both jumped up as Kenshin and Sano walked in.
They sat down, and Kenshin told the story while Megumi attended to his and Sano's wounds. "I see.Sano."she looked at Sano, who was looking downward. He got up and went to leave. "Where are you going Sano?" Kauro asked. "I need some time alone ok Missie?" Sano asked as he exited the Dojo and walked down the street. He wondered about what Desdemona told him.Jade was waiting for him? He sighed and rubbed his head, and silent tears ran down his check. He stopped in the middle of the empty road when he saw girl wearing a jade green kimono. She looked just like. Sano gasped. She smiled. "Jade?" he called. She nodded again. He ran to her, tears of happiness replacing his sad once. He picked her up in his arms and held her. Her hair was down, and flowed in the wind. "Sano." she whispered. "but Jade you." he began. "I did.but love.true love.has no boundaries." She held up her hand and it had a ring on it. A Silver band with small jade on it, the words Jade & Sano were engraved on it. He smiled widely and held her again. He pushed his lips onto hers, and the two lovers were engulfed in their kiss. "I love you Jade" he whispered. "I love you Sano." She told him back. With that they kissed again.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Jade cried as she heard Sano. She went to her bed and cried, cried until she had nothing left. She continued to lay there for a few hours, thinking about her life. My life.a living hell. She wanted Sano so bad, she wanted to taste his lips, wanted to be held in his strong arms. But she knew that was almost impossible. Almost. In a fit of anger and grief, Jade went to her bathroom, and slammed her hand against the wall. She went to the mirror and started hard into it. She heard her own voice, look at you Jade, a pitiful toy, your being used for dirty work, and you let yourself. This world would be better off without you. Sano doesn't need you. she cried out, and slammed her fist against the mirror, sending shards of glass everywhere. She slammed her hands at it again and again, until there was nothing left of the glass, and her hands where covered in cuts, with blood dripping off them. She ran her hands up her face, covering her lips with blood. I want to see what my own blood tastes like. She sobbed and fells to the floor. She began to think.this world was not meant for her.and Sano doesn't need.no.he deserves better than her. She took a hold of a piece of glass and stared it. Suddenly, she slashed her wrist, then her arm, and again, until her left arm was cut up and bleeding. She slashed again to the other arm.making it like its twin. She cut her ankles and again at her arms, wincing in pain. Dizzy from the pain and rapid loss of blood, her head fell. Stared at the ceiling, and thought that now, all the pain would be over. She would never have to kill again. Everything was becoming black, and her breath faltering. She was just about to pass out when she heard Sano yell.
*****
"JADE!" Sano yelled. "KENSHIN!! I NEED HELP OVER HERE!!!" Kenshin ran in and gasped at Jade's lifeless and bloody body. "GO!" Sano bawled. Kenshin ran to her room and gathered her coat and some cloths. He went back to Sano and he was holding her in his arms. "She's not breathing, we need to get her to a hospital" Sano told Kenshin. "I know where one is" Kenshin said, sprinting for the door. Sano ran afterward. You can make it Jade. Sano thought as they ran down the street toward the hospital. Once they got inside Sano ran up the desk. The clerk gasped and looked at Sano. "She's not breathing and she's lost a lot of blood." He told her. The clerk nodded and grabbed the phone, pushing a button. "Trauma in the lobby, code red! I repeat trauma in the lobby, code red."
Almost at once a stretcher appeared with a two nurses and a doctor. "Oh my god." The doctor said looking at her body. "Put her on" the doctor told Sano. Sano placed her on the stretcher and they started pushing her to the emergency room, Kenshin and Sano following. "What the hell happened?!" the doctor asked. "I don't know. I found her like this, I think she tried to kill herself." Sano explained. "She's not breathing doctor" one of the nurses told her. "Shit." the doctor muttered. They pushed Jade in the room and one of the nurses told Sano and Kenshin that they need to wait outside.
Sano sat down at one of the chairs followed by Kenshin. He put his head in his hands and groaned. Kenshin placed his hand on Sano's shoulder, trying to comfort him. "Sano.Miss Jade is very strong. I have a feeling she will be ok. You must believe in her that you do." Kenshin said sympathetically. "She did this because of me.for what I told her." Sano said, ignoring Kenshin. "You don't know that." Kenshin told him. "I do.for a cold hard fact.I do" Sano whispered. After about 10 minutes, one of the nurses emerged from the room, looking very serious.
~~~~~~~~~
"her injuries are extremely severe. She lost a lot of blood and had gone on a suppressed time without breathing." The nurse said. Sano glared at her.what the hell she is saying!? Is Jade ok or what? "Skip the medical talk. is Jade ok?" Sano asked irritably. The nurse smiled. "She'll be ok. But.you may want to talk to her, or maybe make her see a therapist." The nurse suggested. "She's not some psycho ok? She's just going through a tough time." Sano almost yelled. "Whatever you say. You can see her. But she's unconscious. The doctor will be stitching up her cuts and giving her some blood." The nurse said formally and walked away. Sano and Kenshin went inside her room and both gasped. Blood was all over her bed sheets and the doctors clothing. Sano saw the doctor and nodded to her. Kenshin and he sat at two chairs next to Jade. She looked ghostly pale, and her lips were almost blue. "She's a strong one. I didn't expect her to survive to tell you the truth. Do you have any idea why she did this you two?" the doctor asked, stitching up Jade's cuts. Sano didn't reply and shot Kenshin a look, he nodded. "Miss Jade has been going through a rough time. I'm sure that with some talking.she'll be ok. She just needs support right now from the ones she loves." Kenshin said, giving Sano a look of mischief. Sano snorted at the look. "I see.well.you better talk to her. Another suicidal attempt like this will kill her." The doctor told them getting up. She called in a nurse, and they pushed Jade to a recovery room. Once inside, the two were alone with Jade. Sano looked at her pale face, though some of its color was returning. "Sano" Kenshin called. "Hmm?" Sano replied, not taking his eyes of his Jade. Mine.she's not mine. Jade belongs to no one. He thought. "Don't you think that Miss Jade did this because of Desdemona? You don't have to blame your self that you don't." Kenshin said to Sano. He nodded. Suddenly, Sano felt so angry. He felt this was all Desdemona's fault, if he wasn't around this wouldn't have happened to Jade. "Bastard" Sano muttered. "We'll take care of him Sano. I can't let him get away with doing this to her, I cannot." Kenshin said his tone serious.
After a few hours, Jade began to stir and she fluttered her eyes open. "Kenshin.can I be alone with her for a bit?" Sano whispered. Kenshin nodded and left the room, closing the door slowly behind him. Jade looked around, and then at Sano. At first her eyes were normal, looking as if nothing had happened. Then, as if it all came back to her in a flood her eyes widened and filled up with tears. "Sano." she whimpered. "Jade.don't cry please." Sano tried to calm her down, but her breath came in sharp sobs. She lifted her arms up and looked at her cuts, crying more. Sano leapt up from his chair and held Jade, letting her sob in his arms. "I wanted to die! Why didn't you let me die!? If I was dead.then." she continued to cry even harder until Sano let go of her and glared. "Shut up! Don't say that! Who the hell are you huh? The Jade I know wouldn't break down this easily! Why you crying for? Don't you realize this is what he wants? He wants this and your giving it to him on a god damn silver platter!" Sano yelled. Jade looked up angrily and him. "You don't know what its like!! How dare you!? How dare you act like you can make me feel better?! You don't know what it's like having no life. Being controlled like a fucking puppet! To kill Sano.TO KILL! You don't know what it's like, knowing that you'll die a person who led no life! A person with destroyed dreams! You don't know what it's like not being able to love the person your in love with, to know if you love him.he can get killed." Her voice lowered on the last sentence, tears streaking down her face. He looked at her, and lowered his eyes.
She was right. He didn't know what it was like. He had been able to choose his life, live the way he wanted too. He remembered her last sentence. "Jade.I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you that. It's just.I don't.I. I don't want to see you like this. I want to see you full of life, and strength." He held his hand out to her. "Let me help you Jade. I'll take care of you. I promise.-". "NO! I can't Sano.I can't love" she sobbed. "Hey listen. Desdemona's after us already. I don't care if I die. At least I can die.knowing that.damn it I'm not good at this. You know what I mean." He told her. She nodded. "You'll die knowing I loved you." She whispered. He nodded. "And I won't die. You won't either. I will NEVER allow that. You understand?" he said, boring into her eyes. She nodded. "Sano.thank you." He went to her and held her, his temple resting on hers. "I'll do anything for you Jade. For the girl I.love." He whispered. "It's so strange.I've never seen you like this. Your soft side, I like it." She whispered back. He moved his head so his lips were centimeters to hers. "no." she whispered. "Why?" he smiled. "It's too dangerous. I can't have you get killed. To lose something.-" "oh shut up for once Jade" he said. And with that he bent down and captured her lips with his own.
Jade hesitated, but responded slowly. Sano placed his hand on the back of her head deepening the kiss. Jade ran her hand in his silky gravity defying hair, playing with his ribbon. They broke the kiss, and Sano smiled. "What do you say to that Miss It's too dangerous?" "I say I want more". with no objections Sano bent down and kissed her again. This time Jade not hesitating, and the kiss not as shy. By this time Kenshin was rather bored, so he went inside the room. "ORO?!" he looked at the kissing couple who didn't know he was there. "Uum.Sano.Miss Jade?" but they didn't reply, and continued on kissing. "Ok.I'm just going to get some food.by my-self.I'll let you two.um...that I shall." He said as he quickly darted out of door.
Their kiss ended again and the two looked in each others eyes. "So.are we ok?" Sano asked. Jade nodded. "Was Kenshin in here just now?" Jade asked perplexed. "Eer.I denno..." Sano replied. "Jade.promise me one thing." Sano told her. "What?" "Please don't ever.ever.do this again. I'll be around. No matter what world I'm in.always." "I promise Sano." Jade said, kissing him.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Desdemona watched the scene in the small crystal ball he held. He nearly crushed it with anger. She belongs to me.no other man deserves to touch her but me. "Yes Jade. Live your fairy tale. But you will see beyond bliss when you are with me." He said, as if talking to her. He laid the ball onto the cushion and got up from his chair. "The time has come to put my plan into action. I must get rid of that fighter. He is in my way. He broke the spell, but he will not be able to this time." he told himself as he walked through his home and to his clothing area. He put on a pair of black leather pants, black combat boots, and a matching shirt. He threw on his silk cape, with red sown on the inside. He looked in the mirror, his smile evil and nerve rattling. He strode out of the room and grabbed his sword muttering "linos" as he slid it onto his back. "I'm coming dear Jade. Make ready for me." He said as he shut the door behind him.
******
The hospital was quiet and dark. All the visitors went home, and this section of the hospital was as if almost dead. Jade was fast asleep in her room, for the first time, not having a nightmare. A receptionist was sitting as a man approached her. "Oh sir visiting times are over" she said. But suddenly the man pointed his hand to her and said "verida" and the women screamed as a flash of red lightning came from his hand and impacted her body. She fell to the floor dead. "Visiting times for the mortals I'm afraid." He laughed as he stepped over her body and made way to Jade's room. He walked in and peered on her lovely face. He walked closer to her and was above her bed, looking onto her, resisting the urge to make her his right then and there. He bent down and laid kisses on her neck to her cheek. Jade stirred. "Sano." she quietly moaned. It took every fiber of his being not to slam his hand down on her.
"Jade" Desdemona said softly. She opened her eyes and looked at him and almost screamed. "Silenceia" he said. When she opened her mouth to scream, nothing came out. He laid down on top of her, Jade tried to struggle but he held her arms down. "Don't try it Jade. Your efforts are of no value." He whispered. "Now Jade.I was led to believe that the fighter was nothing more than an infatuation." He asked. Jade opened her mouth, only to shut it again remembering she couldn't speak. Desdemona bent down and started to lick and nibble on the flesh on her neck, causing her fingernails to dig down into his skin. He hissed in pain, but smiled. "Now Jade you're just exciting me more.pain is pleasure to me." He laughed at her pitiful look.
He stopped laughing when he saw her close her eyes and concentrate. "Your not actually trying to break the spell are you Jade?" he asked mockingly. He laughed again. "I'm afraid you won't be able to." he told her as he bent to continued to torture her neck when he heard a laugh. He looked up at the smiling Jade. "You underestimate me." she said. He smiled. "I do sweet Jade." He told her. "You've grown stronger." He complimented her. "That I have." she said. "But not enough" he said as he picked her up and shoved her against the wall. She gasped in pain as he grabbed her cut arms and held them up. He forced his lips onto hers and painfully kissed her. Jade didn't respond but bit down on his lip making him bleed. "That's how it is then." he said his lip bleeding. "Love me Jade.I can give all that you ask for. Just love me in return." he pleaded. "I love one person only." She hissed. He tightened his grip on her arms making her cringe in pain. "I.can never love someone like you.ever! And you can't control me to. Sano will make sure of that.the man who really loves me!" she yelled. Desdemona growled and dropped her onto the floor. "Hear this Jade. If you don't be with me.I will kill you.and him." He whispered.
"Then let me rot in hell."
She growled as she jumped up and punched him in the face, leaving a red mark. "I see.if that is what you want Jade. I won't stop you." He whispered. He strode out of the door and gave Jade one last look before disappearing. Jade gave no care and went back to her bed, taking a deep breath.and falling asleep, a nightmare less sleep.
*******
The next day Sano came by to take Jade home. He went into her room to find her sitting next to her window, blinds open, and looking outside. "Hey" he said. She turned her head toward him and gave him a sad smile. He went up to her and kissed her on her forehead. "Something wrong?" he asked. "I just heard about the nurse who was killed." Jade told him. Sano nodded. "Desdemona." he whispered. She nodded, turning her head away. "Tell Kenshin battle is near. He'll strike soon. He came to my room last night, he put a spell on me but I broke it.on my own. He wanted me, now he knows he can't have me. I am useless to him now. He must fight Kenshin on his own." She told him, looking out of the window. "You broke the spell on your own." he smiled. "Because of you. You made me stronger." She smiled back. He nodded and went to her for an embrace. Jade laid her head on his chest, and Sano laid his head on her forehead. "Do you wanna get outta here or what?" he asked. "Let's go.I hate hospitals." She said getting up. She dressed in the clothes Sano brought her, and went to the desk to check out. "Take care of your self Jade." The nurse told her. "I will" she smiled, looking at Sano, who smiled back.
The exited the hospital and Sano took her hand. "I have something special planned." He told her. "What?" she replied. "Let's pick up some food. I wanna spend the day with you at the park. Kenshin found it on one of his walks." He said. She smiled and slid her arm around him, laying her head on his arm as they walked.
Once again, the day was nice. It was warm, with a gentle breeze. The two were sitting next to a pond, in each others arms. They were telling funny stories, and laughing at jokes. "It's been so long.so long since I could relax like this." Jade told Sano. "Too long." He nodded. "It's the first time I've heard you laugh. That's why I'm telling you so many funny things, to hear your sweet laugh more." He said, kissing her cheek. Jade turned her head around to kiss him on the lips. It was one of the few passionate kisses they shared. She placed her hand on his chest, feeling his taut muscles through his shirt. His hand was on her back, tracing the small muscles there. When the kiss ended, Jade laid her head on his shoulder, and looked at her surroundings. "Sano?" she called. He looked at her in reply. "How much do you love me?" she smiled. "There aren't enough words. Even if there were, there wouldn't be enough time in the world to tell you. I'd do anything for you. When I saw you, at home, after you did that to yourself, I felt so empty. I felt like I lost you, and I couldn't bear to think of it. No one.not one person has had this affect on me. I love you so much. And when this is over, I'm going to stay here.with you." She told her. She grinned, a grin bigger than Sano had seen and hugged him close, kissing him passionately again. "I love you." She whispered. "I love you too" he answered. "It's late.poor Kenshin, he's all alone." Jade giggled. "Yeah. Let's go" he said as he got up. He help Jade up and held her as they walked back to her apartment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You reject me Jade.I'll make you pay for that." Desdemona said as he drunk his vodka. He slammed the glass down, shattering it and making his hands bleed. He licked the blood of his fingers, savoring the taste and imagining it to be Jade's. "Jade" he whispered. He closed his eyes, concentrating to call out to her again.
*****
Jade was awake, looking at Sano, admiring his features with the moonlight shining upon him. She gently pushed a lock of hair out of his face, and traced his jaw line with her finger. She was about to drift off into sleep when she heard it. "Jade" it was in her head, but she checked to make sure Sano didn't say it. "Jade".she heard it again, and Sano's lips didn't move. She groaned. "What now?" she asked mentally. "Meet me in the alleyway Jade." She heard. "no." she answered back. She felt the familiar dizzy feeling, but concentrated and pushed it away. "Not anymore.I'm not yours." she told him. "Meet me or I will kill him." He said his tone serious. She sighed. "I'm coming." She got up and got dressed, grabbing her sword and putting her invisible spell on it. In the meantime, Sano woke up, but didn't move. He saw Jade leaving and thought, is he controlling her again? He got up and threw his gi on, following her.
*****
"I'm glad you could make it Jade. I really did not feel like killing tonight." Desdemona told Jade. "What do you want from me?" she snapped. "I wish to tell you something." He said. "Humor me" she smiled a smug smile. Meanwhile, Sano was watching from a distance. "Have you ever wandered Jade? Wandered how the first 12 years of your life have been? Wandered how you learned to fight so well, where you get that sword?" he asked. "What are you saying?" she replied, confused. "Think Jade. Your sword"-he pulled his out "its design is similar to mine. Your fighting skills are identical to mine. We can communicate to each other through a mental connection." He told her. She gasped. "No.no.you aren't saying?" she cried. "Yes Jade.I am your father." he smiled. "NO!" she cried out. "Yes Jade.I trained you. Don't you remember now?" he asked. "Think.hard." he told her. She thought.and remembered.
*****
A young Jade is shown, her hair tied up and in a bandana, with a sword in her hand. She was sweating and breathing heavily. "Attack!" she heard. She let out a cry and struck her opponents sword, only be deflected. "Again! Strength.speed" she heard. She attacked again and struck, her opponents sword flying out of his hand. "Good Jade.you'll make a fine sword fighter." Desdemona said. "Thank you, father." She replied, with a young smile.
*****
"Yes.you remember." Desdemona told the crying Jade. "Why didn't you tell me?" she sobbed. "I didn't think it necessary." He said as he leaned in to kiss her. "NO!" she yelled as she pushed him away. He growled. He went to go slap her when he heard a yell. "You touch her and I'll kill you!" Sano yelled at Desdemona. "Restricto" Desdemona yelled at Sano, freezing him in place. He tried to move but couldn't. "Bastard!" he yelled. "What are you going to do about it Sano?!" he laughed. "Two birds with one stone." he muttered as he looked at Jade. He grabbed her by the stomach and stood her in front of him, so Sano could see. "Jade!" Sano yelled. "Sano..." she whispered. Desdemona ran his hands up her thigh and up to her face, over some private areas. "Stop it!" Jade sobbed. Sano balled up his fists so tight, they began to bleed. Suddenly Desdemona pulled out his sword, with one last lick to her neck and cheek.he plunged the sword into her back. "NOOO! JADE!" Sano yelled. She screamed in pain, and Desdemona twisted his sword, making her scream louder. He took his sword out, and Jade limped up. "forgive me Jade" he whispered, and he lept away high onto a building and disapeered. Once he was gone, he spell was broken for Sano and he ran to Jade and caught her before she fell to the ground. "NO! Jade PLEASE!" he yelled. "Sano.I'm sorry. I must tell you something. Because Desdemona is.my father, I have the same powers as he. I am giving them to you." she whispered. Sano felt a surge of power go through his body and looked at Jade. "Jade.you'll be ok.please.hold on" Sano pleaded. "It hurts so bad, but with you.I feel better. Please Sano.please.help Kenshin. I.I am sorry I couldn't help you." She cried. "NO! Your going to help.you'll be ok." he sobbed. "You have to be ok." he told her. "I love you Sano." her voice becoming lower. "I love you too! And you'll be ok." he sobbed. "Thank you Sano.for showing me.love. My dream came true because of you." She went to touch his cheek, and he kissed her hand. "Jade." he whimpered. "I'll be watching.my love." With that, her hand fell to the ground, and her body went limp as she closed her eyes. "Jade.Jade.Jade!! NO!! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! YOU CAN'T DIE.NOT YET...WE WERE SUPPOSED TO.BE TOGETHER." He cried. He buried his head in her neck and sobbed so hard, his body shook violently. "Jade." he whimpered, his face shown with tears. He held her hand up and kissed it. He picked her up, and carried her back to her home.
He walked into the door and Kenshin was found sitting on the couch. "Jade!" he cried as he leapt up to her. He gasped and looked at Sano. "He.he killed her Kenshin. His own daughter.I saw it all." Sano moaned. "I'm sorry Sano.I know you loved her.we'll take care of her.that we will." They took her to the park, and the same spot were she and Sano were that day; they piled wood and laid her body on it. Sano lit a torch, and threw it onto the pile, her body quickly being engulfed in flames.
Sano made a vow to himself right then and there. I will kill him.I will kill Desdemona. For my love.for Jade. "I'll DO IT FOR YOU JADE!" he yelled at the fire. Kenshin looked at him and nodded. "We go.now.to fight, Sano." Sano nodded, and with one last look at the fire and with a final "I love you" they walked off.
~~~~~~~~~~~
They stood in the middle of the alley way, in the same spot where she died. "I have feeling he will come here." Kenshin told Sano. Sano nodded. "Kenshin.I want to land the final punch." He told him. "You want to kill him." it was more a fact than a question. "It's the only way.for Jade. You can't change my mind." Sano said. "I wasn't going to." Kenshin said looking away.
Suddenly they heard a sound, and Desdemona was behind them. Kenshin whirled around to meet him. "So.it all comes down here Battousai, this battle shall decide out fate." Desdemona commanded. "I will make you pay for what you did to Miss Jade." Kenshin said. "And I will make YOU pay for making my life a living hell!" and with that Desdemona unleashed his sword and attacked Kenshin, Kenshin easily blocked it and swung his sword to be blocked also. Sano ran behind Desdemona and kicked him in the back, letting Kenshin strike him with his sword while he was distracted. Desdemona swung towards Sano, but Sano kicked his arm, sending his sword off. Kenshin Attacked, but Desdemona parried it and struck Kenshin, cutting him on his arm. Desdemona then hit Kenshin with the back his sword knocking him out. "Now you'll die." he said to Sano. "Bring it on." he sneered. Desdemona dropped his sword and removed his cloak and shirt, Sano did the same.
The two made their stances, and Sano was the first to punch. He impacted and heard a crunch as he hit him. Desdemona jumped up and kicked Sano in the back, a move similar to Jade's. Desdemona then punch Sano in the stomach and face, again, and again, until Sano was lying bloody and bruised against the wall. Sano weakly got up and kicked Desdemona in the back. But Desdemona picked up Sano and flipped him over. Sano go up and looked at Desdemona, who was smiling smugly. He pulled back his arm into a fist and lounged for Desdemona "Fuatea No Ki Wami!" he yelled as he went to perform his famous move. But Desdemona grabbed Sano's arm and twisted it towards his face so instead Sano punched himself. Desdemona picked him up and threw him against the wall. He groaned in pain and he lay on the ground. "Jade." he whispered. "I will.I'll kill him.but" he groaned again. He heard a voice.Jade's voice. "Sano! Use it!! You have new skill.use it! You can do it!" he heard her tell him. "Jade.?" he asked. "YES! Now use it! Hurry!" Sano knew what she was talking about, and got up to look at Desdemona. "you killed her." he said. "Yes.and it was the best kill I have ever done." Desdemona smiled evilly. Suddenly.Sano's eyes held flames.those like Desdemona's, only instead of red flames, they were blue flames. "THAT'S IT!!" Sano yelled. "VERIDA!" Sano screamed as he pointed his hand to Desdemona, blue lightning bolts rushed out of his hands, hitting Desdemona and causing him to yell in pain. Sano raised Desdemona up into the air magically, and grabbed Desdemona's sword off the ground. He lowered him again, and still electrocuting him, she shoved the sword into Desdemona's stomach, ands again. He fell to the ground and yelled in pain. "Now you know how it felt.to die.I killed you with the same sword that you killed Jade with.now it is stained with the blood it SHOULD have been stained with from the beginning!" Sano yelled throwing the sword onto the ground.
Desdemona dropped his head. "Sano.go to Japan. Jade is waiting for you there." he whispered before he died. Sano stared at his body bewildered, as it disappeared. "She's waiting for me?" he asked himself. "Sano." he heard a voice say. He looked at Kenshin, who was bleeding from the mouth and his arm. "I did it Kenshin. for Jade." Sano told him. "For Jade." Kenshin repeated. "Let's go home." Sano said. "How?" Kenshin asked. Sano explained how he received Jade's powers. "Since Desdemona could do it.I'll do it too." Sano said. He snapped his fingers, and the familiar vortex appeared. With one last look around them, they jumped in.
****
They were back.in front of the Dojo. "We're home" Kenshin muttered. "KENSHIN!" they heard a shrill screaming and Kauro pounced on Kenshin. "Where were you!? I was worried sick!" "Now now miss. Kauro.we'll explain inside." Kenshin said, as they went inside the Dojo. Megumi and Yahiko were there and they both jumped up as Kenshin and Sano walked in.
They sat down, and Kenshin told the story while Megumi attended to his and Sano's wounds. "I see.Sano."she looked at Sano, who was looking downward. He got up and went to leave. "Where are you going Sano?" Kauro asked. "I need some time alone ok Missie?" Sano asked as he exited the Dojo and walked down the street. He wondered about what Desdemona told him.Jade was waiting for him? He sighed and rubbed his head, and silent tears ran down his check. He stopped in the middle of the empty road when he saw girl wearing a jade green kimono. She looked just like. Sano gasped. She smiled. "Jade?" he called. She nodded again. He ran to her, tears of happiness replacing his sad once. He picked her up in his arms and held her. Her hair was down, and flowed in the wind. "Sano." she whispered. "but Jade you." he began. "I did.but love.true love.has no boundaries." She held up her hand and it had a ring on it. A Silver band with small jade on it, the words Jade & Sano were engraved on it. He smiled widely and held her again. He pushed his lips onto hers, and the two lovers were engulfed in their kiss. "I love you Jade" he whispered. "I love you Sano." She told him back. With that they kissed again.
