Jade sat with Sango and kagome in the hot springs. Kagome seemed unable to keep from string at her. Sango was visibly trying to avert her eyes. Jade noticed this and was beginning to get a little annoyed.
"Why the hell do you keep staring at me?"
Kagome flushed, "Um, well I know this is kinda a personal question, but where did you get all those scars?"
"Yes," Sango joined the conversation readily, "I didn't want to say anything, but know that kagome has mentioned it, where DID you get those scars?"
Jade glanced down at her bare arms. They were lined with small burns. Her back was crisscrossed with little white scars. Across her chest was a large white gash. Painful memories danced around in her head.
"My mother's old boyfriend wasn't the nicest guy you could ask for; he was sadistic and took pleasure in making me suffer. But it's no big deal."
Jade dunked her head under the water and came up smiling.
"Well, I'm about down here, so I'll just get dressed and head back to camp of that's okay."
Kagome and Sango nodded on unison. Jade dressed and began to slowly walk back to the village. As she walked hot tears welled up in her eyes she was unable to hold them back. They cascaded down her cheeks and stained them with a glittering trail. With wiped them away, furious with herself for crying but the tears would not stop. As she sank to the ground she found herself in the middle of a grassy field. A soft breeze blew and began to dry her tears, but new ones replaced the old ones. Jade began to get lost in her memories, trying desperately to claw her way back to reality. She clutched at her throat realizing that she couldn't breathe. A scream shattered her thoughts. She jerked her head up and searched for the source.
'Who screamed?' jade thought. Jade eyes stared intently into the forest nearby. She gasped as a young girl came scurrying out from the brush. She was fleeing from what looked like a giant spider. The girl struggled to run in her small kimono, but tripped and fell in the process. The spider swooped down on her. Jade jumped up and slid a small pistol from the lining of her boots. She aimed at what she thought was the head and shot. Her hand was steady and she hit precisely where she aimed but the creature did not crumple to the ground. It just turned and charged at jade.
Her eyes widened in fear as she stared and what seemed to be her death dealer. A purple light shone brightly from within the chest of the beast, but it did not register in her mind. She just aimed the gun and shot repeatedly. The brute kept coming.
The girl on the ground tilted her head back and began to shout. Her voice trembled with fear but she was loud none the less.
"SESSOMARU! SESSOMARU HELP!"
The shouts did not register in jades mind as she watched her death coming closer and closer. The spider finally reached her and sank it's fangs into her shoulder. She felt the icy venom spreading throughout her blood stream. The fangs abruptly went slack and the spider's enormous body crashed to the ground. Blood gushed from the spider and she noticed it had been sliced in half. She looked around. Her gaze fell on a silver haired man. At first glance she thought it was inuyasha, but as she took a closer look she realized he was much more handsome. She began to walk towards him, staggering slightly. The venom was beginning to take effect.
She reached the man and looked up into his golden eyes.
"Thank you." she whispered as she fell forward into his arms. "Just..........."She gasped, "take care of the...........girl. Don't..............worry about...................me." with that said she slipped into unconsciousness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Where could she be?"
Kagome searched frantically through all the huts. She had inuyasha scour the forest and Sango the hot springs. Kagome came running as she heard Sango shout for her. She came upon her standing beside a slaughtered demon. Kagome quickly sprinted to it and took out the jewel shard embedded in it. It glowed softly as it was purified.
"Who do you think could have done this?" kagome asked Sango.
"I don't know, but let's worry about that later. We have to continue looking for jade now."
Kagome nodded and set off again.

Jade opened a bleary eye. She shook her head from the mist that seemed to be hanging around her head. A smiling face popped into her vision. Jade realized it was the little girl that the spider had been chasing. The girl became solemn.
"Thank you for saving me. My name is Rin, what's yours?"
"Jade." she whispered, not able to speak louder. "Where am I?"
"You are in our camp. Fluffy took you here after you fell down. And then I mixed some plants together to make you wake up."
"Rin! Do not call lord Sessomaru fluffy!"
Jade turned to see a little green toad of a dwarf with a big staff scolding Rin. Rin just laughed.
"Silly jaken, you are so funny!" she ran over to him and pushed him over. Jade laughed softly. "Fluffy is mad at jaken 'cause he left me alone so that spider demon attacked me." Rin said turning back to jade. She was beaming.
She grew silent and bowed slightly looking past jade. Jade began to turn slightly but an excruciating pain shot through her body. She fell back to thee floor with a soft thud, breathing heavily.
"You shouldn't move. That wound you received from the spider demon was deep. And the venom has not been diminished completely by the herbs." A soothing voice said. The man from earlier strode into her view. He looked at her intensely.
"Who are you?" he asked softly.
"I should be asking you the same question. But since you asked, my name is jade."
"Oh," he said softly, almost as if he was sad, "I thought you were someone else. Anyway, I'm Sessomaru, lord of the western lands."
"That's exactly what inuyasha said! Why the hell do people keep telling me this? Who exactly do I remind you of huh?"
He looked at her with his golden orbs. His expression was blank but pain flickered in his eyes. He hesitated but then said, "It doesn't matter."
"YES IT DOES! TELL ME GOD DAMNIT!"
He looked surprised for a moment then smiled slightly. It was the first emotion he had willingly shown. "I once knew a woman. She looked remarkably like you. A long time ago she was slaughtered by the people she had trusted. The humans from her village killed her because they thought that she was a danger to their survival."
He grew silent lost in his memories. "But you couldn't be her because she died along time ago and you are a mere weak useless pathetic human."
Jade fumed and struggled to rise. Her eyes blazed. She staggered towards him and looked him straight in the eye. "I am NOT a mere useless pathetic human! Got that?" she poked him in the chest. "If you think that then you are an ignorant fool! I know I'm not as strong as some, but I have survived this long and no longer consider myself pathetic. I will not allow you to criticize me!" She sank to her knees clutching her stomach. The venom was still surging through her blood stream. Slowly eating her innards.
Sessomaru knelt down beside her and attempted to steady her trembling figure but she jerked away.
"Do not touch me! Filthy demon!" he stared at her taken aback by her harsh words. Had she really been that upset by what he had said about humans?
"I'm not pathetic." She whispered, and then slipped into darkness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Please! No! Leave me alone! Don't!" jade whimpered. She cowered in a corner and the man moved closer and closer. Her throat was closed in fear as she felt his clammy hands on her face.
"Pathetic useless girl! Get up and stop whimpering!"
"I'm not pathetic!" she whimpered.
"What did you say?" he growled.
"Nothing."
Darkness engulfed them, muffling her screams, and hiding her tears and the pain seared through her.
"STOP! STOP PLEASE!" she choked on her words. She felt like she was being torn in half. She tried to resist, but found her hands were tied. The course rope bit into her skin.
"JADE! JADE WAKE UP!"
She felt herself being shaken. She opened her eyes. Sessomaru stared down at her clearly alarmed. "What is it? Why are you crying?"
She gingerly touched her cheek. She had been crying. And it had just been a dream, no, a relived nightmare. She shivered uncontrollably, although she wasn't cold.
"It's nothing." She whispered. "Just a nightmare."
Sessomaru looked down at her unconvinced. "Are you cold?" jade shook her head.
"Not really, I just..............I'm," she faltered, "I'm scared."
Sessomaru drew jade into his lap, surprising them both. Jade snuggled down into his warmth, calmed by the sound of his heart. She felt safe with his strong arms wrapped around her. Sessomaru relaxed as he felt her tense muscles release the tension and heard her heartbeat slow. Her breathing became smooth and even and he realized she was sleeping peacefully. He gently lay down, still holding onto jade, careful not to wake her. He was confused by the pleasant feeling in his stomach. He hadn't felt this way since Ayumi was alive. He shrugged and pulled jade tighter against his chest, drifting into a peaceful slumber.

Authors note!
So, how do you like it? I'd like some feed back please!
Anyway, here is something I wrote today. Kinda a spur of the moment thing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Staring faces lined with pain,
With empty eyes that see the darkness of my soul,
Tears from the sky brings an acid rain,
Swirling clouds of bloody haze,
Flaming flowers I set ablaze,
A bloody thorn, a silver rose,
How I struggle for my sanity no one knows,
I'm everywhere, but not anywhere,
A phantom it may seem,
I awaken nothing but despair,
As I try to wake from this listless dream,
In vain I fade away forever,
Life for me has just begun,
But alas it seem s already to be done,
And how I suffered for my sanity,
I struggled desperately to be free,
The spinning of my world is now still,
No one ever listened, and no one ever will.
