Tragedy plans to strike there. I was talking about that scene to jade in PE. I wanted to know if she would like to die. She gave me a lot of great ideas too. So kudos to her! Well so much to type so little time until I get kicked off the comp. oh by the way, I feel I should tell you this since you guys were my inspiration. I won first place in my schools poetry contest!

Sobs racked jade's shoulders as she tried to push herself into a sitting position. She only collapsed again her face buried in the grass. Another sob escaped her. She was still bleeding heavily. "I-I can't do it." She said to no one in particular. Tears leaked from her eyes. Her face creased with pain. :why the hell am I crying?!" she said furiously. "What do I care if I die?! I never cared to live before, what makes it so different now?" Sesshomaru flashed into her mind. She shook her head angrily. "No I'll just end up losing him to! Why does it have to be like this!? Why do I have to feel this way Damnit!"

'I'm alone.' The wind whispered as she continued to cry. He eyes became unfocused as she tried to stand once more. Adrenalin coursed through her body. She gritted her teeth. "I do not plan to die in this god forsaken forest in this damn era. I will die the same way dean did at the same place. I will not suffer through death."

She stood shakily and began to wobble in the direction she thought the village was.

"Kagome? Kagome are you awake?" kagome blinked a bleary eye at inuyasha.

"Now I am , what is it?"

"I just wanted to make sure you were all right, is there anything I can do for you?" he held her hand gently. Kagome smiled weakly at him. Her smile then faded, it took to much effort on her part.

"Please, go find jade. Make sure she's all right." Inuyasha nodded and swiftly walked out of the hut brushing her claws through her hair as he left. He didn't notice but she flinched as the sharpened weapons touched her flesh. She looked sadly after him.

Inuyasha stood outside sniffing the air. Something was amiss. He smelled blood. And the scent was familiar yet he couldn't place it. Suddenly jade appeared before him. Her eyes were unfocused and she wore a sloppy smile. Blood dripped down onto the ground around her. She swayed slightly. Inuyasha took an apprehensive step forward. She smelled like Naraku. She continued to look past him grinning her goofy grin. The blood began to collect in a pool. Her smile still stayed in place as her eyes crackled with pain. Tears began to trickle down onto her cheeks.

"Dean," she whispered softly reaching out her hand. "I thought you were dead." She reached further. "I watched you die." Her eyes rolled back in her head and she feel forward. Inuyasha caught her before she hit the ground. Blood immediately began t soak into his arm. The tears sill came as she lay unconscious. Inuyasha sprinted to the hut. He lay her on a futon near a sleeping kagome. He softly called in Sango to help him with her wounds. Before Sango arrived at the door Sesshomaru was there glowering.

"What happened to her?!" he growled under his breath.

Inuyasha looked up at him. "I don't know, but she was seriously injured by Naraku I think. His scent is all over her. It's a miracle she is still alive. I don't think she's going to make it."

Sesshomaru shoved him roughly aside. "Of course she will." Sango appeared behind him.

"Huh, Naraku you said, well maybe......." She paused, they looked at her. "Well Naraku put a curse on Miroku right? The wind tunnel, and now it's gone. Maybe, well maybe jade killed him." inuyasha laughed softly.

"Yeah right, like this pathetic human wench could kill him. Naraku is way too powerful." Before Sesshomaru could kill inuyasha for insulting jade kagome began to stir. She sat up in a flash. She glared around the room. Her eyes were narrowed in concentration.

"DAMN! I can't concentrate with this pain! Who the hell has all those jewel shards! I can't stand their presence! Get them the hell outta here!" kagome continued to glare around at everyone not noticing jade laying on a futon near her. "Okay so fess up! Who has them! Where the hell did they come from?!" slowly everyone turned towards jade. Kagome noticed her and cried out. "Oh god jade! What the hell happened to her wait, what? ACK!" a huge jewel shard was glowing brightly from the inside of jade's shirt. "Hey um Sesshomaru, you gonna have to trust me on this. Right don't ask questions k? Just reach up jade's shirt okay. DON'T EVEN THINK OF GROPING HER!"

Sesshomaru cast a questioning glance in her direction before slowly lifting her shirt. She had a leather strap wrapped around the lower part of her stomach which held a sheath for a small dagger. Inuyasha hadn't removed it when he was tending to her wounds. Sesshomaru reached a clawed hand into the sheath and withdrew a huge jewel shard. The one Kikyou had stolen and given to Naraku. Kagome cried out in surprise. Sango gasped and inuyasha sat wide eyed. Then Sesshomaru smiled.

"I told you she wasn't weak. She could kill that half breed any day." Inuyasha scowled and shrugged upset that she had defeated him when inuyasha himself couldn't.

Jade began to stir. Her eyes opened, unfocused. She sat up slowly, hunching in pain. Throughout this whole time the tears had continued to pour down her face. She reached out a soft hand and grabbed at the air. "Dean," she whispered, "I see you, and I hear you, why can't I touch you?" she smiled, so sad, "I've missed you so much." Kagome looked truly frightened. Sesshomaru enraged and Sango and inuyasha confused.

"Who is this Dean?" Sesshomaru asked icily.

"I-it is, w-well was her brother. He died a while ago. He was hit by a train when he was meeting jade. She watched him die. Now I guess she thinks he is back." Sesshomaru's, (along with everyone else's) eyes widened briefly as they watched jade. She continued to smile and cry reaching out for something none of them could see, she suddenly lurched forward.

"NO! PLEASE DON'T GO! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE! I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE AGAIN! PLEASE!" the pain and anguish showed clearly through her voice. She hung her head, her hair sticking to her tear stained cheeks. She looked up again. "So he really is gone again." She looked around. "What are you guys doing here? Hey, where are we? Where's that creep?"

"Um, hey, jade, did, well, did you kill Naraku?" jade looked from solemn face to the next.

"Aw man! Was he a friend of yours?! Sorry but he, well he kinda tried to kill me. So I kinda shot him and took his shards. Sorry." Everyone burst out laughing. Kagome held her sides. The wounds hurt when she laughed. Jade looked at her with a worried expression. "What happened?"

Kagome looked at inuyasha sadly, he turned away guiltily. "Nothing, it doesn't matter. Just so you know Naraku is our most hated enemy. We haven't been able to get close enough to kill him. He always disappears."

Jade was no longer listening to kagome. She was glaring at inuyasha. "You sick bastard. How the hell can you just sit there like nothing has happened? You could have killed her! BASTARD!" she glared at him. Suddenly her face softened as she looked past him. "Sorry" she whispered, "I didn't mean to yell."

Sesshomaru suddenly clapped his hands. "You know what this calls for?!" everyone turned to look at him. "A TRIP TO SHUYA'S!" he licked his lips remembering the spicy tang of the liquid he drank last time.

Jade smiled slightly. "You know what Sesshomaru? You are absolutely right."

Kagome and jade walked arm in arm next to Sesshomaru up the hill towards the blue house. A dull gray grizzle dampened their clothes, not their spirits. They reached the crest of the hill. Kagome stopped abruptly as she heard screams coming from the porch. A tirade of English fell from a girl's mouth as she stood kicking and banging on the door. As a last resort she took out a small silver object and threw it lightly on the door, running backwards while doing so. The door shattered into a million pieces. Kagome chuckled and turned to see jade smiling. But jade wasn't smiling. She had let her arms drop to her sides and hang there limply. Shock and bewilderment showed clearly on her face.

"j-Jessica?" she chocked out softly.

The girl turned and smiled. He white teeth shone brightly against her dark makeup, hair and eyes. She rose up three fingers and saluted Captain Jack Sparrow Style. "how's it going jade? Long time no see huh?" jade walked up to her and poked her in the face.

"Huh, I guess I'm not hallucinating."

"Nope, but I'm gonna be gone in a few hours. I don't want the jail wardens to see I'm missing." By wardens she meant her parents, she hated them with a passion. "I only came to meet your new friends. Plus I wanted to ask you about something, also I wanted to give you something. Something special." Jade laughed softly.

"You always were a bad influence."

She feigned shock and hurt. Jade laughed. Kagome smiled at her. Sesshomaru's expression remained impassive. Jessica took a double take on him. She walked up to him and stuck her face in his. She reached up and felt his ears. Then she turned his around slowly. She began to laugh hysterically. Tears came to her eyes.

"OH MAN! That has to be the worst glamour I have ever seen! Hahahaha! I can see right through your disguise! Man that is one hell of a tail."

Sesshomaru looked shocked. "How did you know?" he asked softly.

"Demons can never pull of fairy magic successfully, all one has to do is know how to look." Kagome giggled. Jessica turned and dragged both of them inside, carefully stepping over the shattered wood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They sat together on a couch. Sesshomaru held tightly to a bottle, jade leaning on him. Kagome sat next to Jessica on a chair. Shuya kept glancing at Jessica. A tray of pills and white powder sat on the table. Shuya held onto a light blue water bong. He cackled hysterically. Jessica grinned slyly.

"This is the best shit in the US so don't waste it. I busted my ass getting it here." Jade smirked as she began to snort up the white powder. (A/n: I didn't want to say what drug it was so I'll let you figure it out! Hehehehe! :D) Sesshomaru gingerly swallowed one of the pills from the tray. He looked around warily. Kagome was already gone. Jessica had slipped some ecstasy into her drink. Now she was sprawled out over Jessica smiling happily.

Sesshomaru suddenly sat up. He began to chatter. Jessica threw a smile in jade's direction. "I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody too? Then there's a pair of us! Don't tell! They'd advertise you know! How dreary to be somebody! How public like a frog! To tell one's name the live long June to an admiring bog!" he continued on moving his hands like captain jack sparrow. Jade giggled. So did kagome. She sat up suddenly.

"Holy shit? Did you feel that? It was an earth quake!" she ducked and screamed! "Oh no! Everyone get down! We're in bat country now!" she swung a fly swatter around wildly. "Ack! Duck!" she hid behind the couch and peaked over. She saw them all sitting there. "How can you just be sitting there when we are in the middle of a gad damned war! Ah! A bomb!" she began to roll around on the floor. She suddenly jumped up. "Look! I'm a motorcycle! Vvvvrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmm!" she dashed around the room.

Sesshomaru continued to talk to himself. Jade Jessica and Shuya laughed hysterically among themselves. The began to roll around on the couches. The air was filled with a pleasant Smokey aroma. Outside the warmth and the happiness a lone figure stood hunched in the rain, clenching his teeth as his eyes followed jade. He turned and muttering to himself watched towards the train tracks.

Authors note! So, what do you guys think? I was gonna continue writing but the next scene I have planned might take a while.

Jade sat huddled in the rain. Dean had disappeared. She wiped furiously at her tear blurred eyes, trying to clear her vision. The tears dried and before stood Richard. Grinning like a maniac he began to advance on her. She whimpered.
