"OF COURSE!" kagome slapped her hand to her forehead. Sango turned to look at her in alarm.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong silly," kagome said, a wide grin spreading on her face. "I just realized how we can find jade; I can't believe I didn't think of this before."

"What?! How do we find her?" Sango asked suddenly anxious.

"Okay, well when jade and I first jumped through the well I gave her some of my shikon shards! All I have to do is concentrate and I will sense them. I we have to do is go to the place where their presence leads us! It's so simple!"

"Okay, let's go now instead of waiting for daylight! Just us two. We don't have to tell inuyasha or Miroku where we are going. We can take kirara though."

Kagome nodded and stood as Sango called kirara. Sango hoped on kirara's back and then helped kagome on. Kagome concentrated for a split second and then pointed,

"THAT WAY!"

They took off in the direction kagome was pointing. Kirara weaved in and out of the trees following kagome's directions easily. Kirara halted as they came upon a small cave. A warm light flickered merrily from a fire. Kagome slid off kirara and peered around the corner of the rock wall. She gasped and motioned to Sango for her to join her. Sango complied.

"Look!" kagome whispered.

"Oh my god." Sango breathed. "Why is jade with Sessomaru?"

"I have no idea." Suddenly jade began to scream and thrash around in her sleep. Whimpering every now and then. Kagome made a move to go to her, but Sango placed a restraining hand on her shoulder. Kagome turned and shot a questioning look at Sango. She just shook her head and pressed and finger to her lips, signaling kagome to be quite. Then she averted her eyes and watched the scene playing out before her.

"OH!" kagome whispered as she watched Sessomaru gently shake jade.

"Look kagome! Sessomaru has TWO arms!"

"Your right!" kagome said agreeing.

Kagome's eyes widened as Sessomaru pulled jade into his lap and she snuggled down. Clutching onto his chest. She put a hand to her mouth to suppress the giggles. She glanced at Sango and could tell that she was also having a hard time not letting the laughter escape. They turned back to Sessomaru and jade and watched as Sessomaru laid down, pulling jade closer to him.

Kagome sighed, wishing that inuyasha would treat her like that. Sango was having the same thoughts about Miroku. Kagome tapped Sango on the shoulder and motioned to kirara. Sango nodded.

As the distance between them and the cave lengthened kagome could no longer suppress her laughter. It bubbled from her throat and soon Sango was joining in.

"HA-I can't-Ha-believe it! Hahahaha! Sessomaru and Jade! HA!" Sango voice echoed through the trees.

They quieted as they reached camp and a frantic inuyasha.

"Where in the seven hells have you two been?!"

Kagome looked at him sadly remember the way Sessomaru held jade. Inuyasha shut up as he saw the look on kagome's face.

"What's wrong?"

Kagome smoothed her features quickly. She replaced the saddened expression with a smile, but her eyes flickered with pain. "Nothing is wrong inuyasha. You don't need to worry about me."

She slid from kirara's back and walked to her sleeping bag. Inuyasha sat down beside her. He cupped her chin in his claws. He stared at her intensely.

"Kagome, what's wrong? Don't tell me nothing because I know there is something wrong!"

Kagome smiled sadly and shook her head. She gently removed his hand from her face.

"Nothing is wrong inuyasha. Promise."

Inuyasha sighed. Defeated. He lay down beside kagome throwing a protective arm over her shoulder without realizing it. Kagome's eyes widened but then her face melted into a smile. She shrugged and snuggled down into her sleeping bag scooting closer to inuyasha.

Sunlight flickered on jade's eyelashes, dancing lightly over her pale skin. Sessomaru gazed down at her, watching her smile in her sleep. He wondered what she was dreaming about. His grip loosened on jade and her eyes fluttered opened. Her vision was unfocused for a moment, but then recognition flickered on in her eyes. The sunlight sparkled in her pale green eyes before she moved out of the blinding light.

"Morin Sessomaru." She smiled at her sleepily, leaning back onto his chest soaking up his warmth.

He smiled slightly at her. She yawned and then detangled herself from Sessomaru. She stood and stretched. She looked down at Sessomaru.

"I don't think I've ever slept so well before. Thanks." Sessomaru just smiled. Suddenly jaken appeared behind jade.

"Lord Sessomaru! When did you get another arm?!"

Sessomaru smirked and fingered the sword at his waist. "Yesterday, when I was gone, I went back to my father's grave and found my arm. Although it was mostly bone when I found it, this sword," he stroked the hilt, "easily brought the flesh back. All I had to do was convince a medicine man to restore it. That was easy enough."

Jade knelt down beside Sessomaru and stared intently at his arm for a moment.

"You mean to tell me that your arm was cut off, and then you went and brought it back to life and had someone magically put it back on?"

"Yes."

Jade shrugged "whatever."

Jade rose again and then gasped slapping her hand to her mouth. "Holly shit!"

Sessomaru rose quickly, "What is it?"

She turned and looked at him "Tomorrow is my birthday! I can't believe I forgot! I have to go tell kagome! I need to go back to my era and see Shuya!" she began to fade off making plans of what she needed to do. She suddenly stopped muttering and plopped down onto the ground. She buried her face in her hands suddenly tired.

"It's not like anyone cares." She murmured. She lifted her head up "oh well." For the last time she hoisted herself off the ground. She turned to Sessomaru. "Well, it's been great Sessomaru, maybe I'll see yah around sometime." She stood on her tiptoes and planted a soft kiss on his cheek. Then she turned with a soft swish of her hair and was gone.

Sessomaru gingerly touched a clawed hand to his cheek. He stood there bewildered, not completely comprehending what had just happened. One thing he did fully understand was that it was jade's birthday the next day.

Authors note!

Okay, so how does everyone like it so far? Please review and tell me! And in the immortal words of Kagomemustdie() "I'LL GIVE U A NICE SHINEY QUARTER!" (If you review)

Look in the mirror

What do I see?

A beaten mind and a broken soul looking back at me,

Look in the mirror what do I see?

A shredded heart and sunken eyes,

Looking back at me,

Beyond the empty smile and hollow eyes,

Silence screams and a little girl cries,

I used to be so alive,

But no one noticed when the life died,

So now I'm alone even in a crowd,

My vision is blurry, I can no longer see,

All I have left are broken hopes and shattered dreams,

I no longer no what being alive means,

My spirit is dead, but my body still lives,

I have nothing left to give,

I was killed by the one that I love and know,

And was left hollow and alone.
