And here we have the next chapter. Well you've been waiting patiently so I'll let you get to it. please leave me some review to let me know how I'm doing.

Jade's hand slowly emerged from her blanket cocoon as she began to bat around for the alarming sound coming from her nightstand. On her fifth try she finally found the right button but also hit her alarm clock from its station on her nightstand. Scruffy sniffed the strange object that caused his master so much discomfort, the eager pup then leapt to his master's bed and then helpfully tried to dig her out from her blanketed prison. Accepting the battle lost Jade emerged from her warm collection of blankets with a loud and deep yawn. As her eyes adjusted to her awaken state, her hand instinctively reached over to give attention to her loving pet and familiar. Jade made her way from her room and down the hall to one of the shared bathrooms. After her awakening she and Jackie both thought it best for her to move into the magically created dorms for all of the Zodiac Masters. Each room was very big and complete with a sort of bedroom and living room, due to all the shared bathroom supplies it just seemed easier to share the three adjacent and identical bathrooms created. She had become surprisingly used to the frantic mornings with her fellow 'sisters'. Madeline was pounding on one of the doors and screaming for her sister Sophia to hurry up. Sophia couldn't respond back with words but that didn't stop her for matching her younger sister's wall banging hit for hit. Scarlett and Lydia seemed to be getting along better as the artist was helping the pilot create an attractive new hairstyle. Jade walked unnoticed to the last and open bathroom (the question of why Madeline simply didn't use it's shower instead of her sister's was never answered or acknowledged). Jade looked at herself in the mirror, her silver hair seemed to have tripled in volume during the night as it sprouted in every direction. It wasn't until she washed it and then her teeth did she feel more awake. Once she was changed she left the door open incase someone needed a mirror check. Today was some big event in gym, some sort of mini track meet where the top place winners would make it on the team. Unlike most guardians Jackie and Uncle had both agreed to her goal of failure. For one it wouldn't be fair to the other kids who actually were trying to earn a spot on the team. With her dog like enhancements it would be beyond easy for her to out run, jump or agility the other young teens. Plus Jade just didn't feel much like being the school star just yet. Jade was so distracted by her thoughts, reviewing for today's test, remembering homework and think of some way she could get out of gym, that it didn't it her that the calming sensation of her hair being brushed was not coming from her. From the mirror reflection she could see the purple eyes of the most artistic member of their strange family. Jade had noticed that sometimes Lydia would get sudden burst of creativity when she saw materials that could be altered to her vision. Painting, sculpting and apparently hair design were all targets of her creativity and frankly Jade enjoyed it. It was nice having more female members in her life, ones she could talk to or just learn from. Plus there were small benefits to all of her 'sisters'. Having an artist in the family allowed Jade to learn and try new styles she would never imagine, Sophia was a model and was able to bring a few clothing and accessory samples home in her size, and Scarlett even took her for joy rides in her helicopter across the city. Nothing beat the simple pleasure of watching the sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge and eating a five-bean burrito while hovering in a top government helicopter. Lydia finished her work, a stylish creation of braids from either side that came together into a solid piece while it lay on the remaining waves of her silver mane. Jade gave her thanks as she realized the time and made her way down to her Uncle's shop. Not long after her feet met the floor did the door ring. From the other side stood Jade's good friend Daisy, who's family recently moved and prompted her to transfer to the same school as Jade.

'Hey Daisy, come on in I just need another second.'

'No problem. Whoa, your Uncle has some cool stuff.'

'Don't let him hear you or else he'll try to get you to buy him out.'

'With what money? Speaking of which how much did that hair cost, it's awesome!'

'Thanks, you like?'

Jade spun in place as her hair fluttered behind her, the jade ornaments that held it all together matched perfectly with the simple bracelet that Sophia had given her the night before.

'Seriously you have like the coolest life. I wish my hair was like that or even if my parents would let me dye it like yours did. Man Jade way to make me feel bad about myself.'

'What are you talking about, I'm not that great.'

'Not that great? You're smart, athletic and pretty, you have the best clothes and the coolest hair.'

'I'm also impulsive, rude, a tad gross at times, not really girly and according to Brittany I'm a super geek. Come on Daisy, enough with the stereotypical teen worship. Anymore and we're gonna sound like one of those old Saturday morning specials.'

'Speaking of stereotypical teens, we're still heading to the mall after school right?'

'Crap knew I forgot something!'

'Don't tell me you can't go?'

'Nah just got to let one of the parentals know. Let's see Jackie is in Peru, Uncle is doing research in some library in China, Tohru is still asleep from staying up all night working on some project.'

'So who's left, did they just leave you hear by yourself?'

'Well no, but…well….how good can you keep a secret?'

'I haven't told anyone yet about that whole thing with the Buttercups and that thief that sent us to that island that one time.'

'Fare enough. But this kinda goes without saying but I will anyway. You can't tell anyone at least not yet. Not just for me but also she want's to keep it a secret for a little longer, till the next album drop.'

'Album? Jade what are you talking about?'

'HEY GWEN!'

Jade shouted up the stairs as her friend stood baffled beside her. Not long after a young Asian woman made her way from a side door and made her way down the stairs. It took a moment for Daisy to register the woman descending from the second level. Her black and white striped hair was in a high pony-tale as it trailed down the back of her green and white tank and sleeper shorts. It wasn't till she heard the sweet sound of her voice did it finally hit Daisy who this woman was, and all the poor teen girl could do was stare in amazement while her mouth was lost for words.

'What's up sweetie?'

'Hey is it cool if me and Daisy here head to the mall after school?'

'Do you have your cell phone?'

'Yup with a full battery.'

'Then it's fine with me, it's Friday so you'll have time to do whatever school stuff when you get back. Oh hey could you do me a favor while you're there?'

'Sure.'

'Could you grab me some of that nail polish I showed you the other day, the green one in the square bottle?'

'Not a problem.'

'Great, let me grab you some money then.'

The emphasis Gwen Chan made her way threw a door behind the register counter to assembly grab her purse. Jade chuckled at the sight of her friend as she playfully knocked her shoulder.

'Hey come on Daisy I don't wanna mop up your drool before school.'

'But…that's..she's…your…she's.'

'Yup, my aunt Gwen. She's really nice, and apparently we Chan girls carry the same gene that makes us not want to be bragged over.'

'Here we go.'

Gwen returned from the back room with cash and coffee in hand.

'This should be plenty for a bottle. Keep the change and get something for you and Daisy, on me.'

At the sound of her name Daisy couldn't help but let out a youthful eep of excitement. Jade and her aunt laughed as the younger Chan pulled her star-struck friend away before they were late for school. Once outside Daisy seemed to regain her senses as she seemed to skip own the concrete paths.

'I said it once and I'll say it again, you have the coolest life!'

'Are we still on that?'

'Seriously Jade, you can't argue that having a celebrity for a close relative is super cool.'

'Yah it is, but it's better that we get along so well. I mean Uncle says she's like an older version of me. I'd start making plans for my first cd if only I had any musical talent.'

'So what are you guys just hiding her out or something?'

'Sorta, Gwen decided to move back here for awhile. She knows it's a matter of time before people figure her out but she just wants to focus on work for know. She just composed a ton of lyrics and just wants to get the job done before handling the fans. She actual has to head out to the recording studio today to drop a few tracks.'

'Any chance your super best friend can get a sit in?'

'Not unless you can get us out of school today without landing detention.'

'Hmm. I'll work on some A-Team montage and get back to you soon.'

Jade gave a hearty laugh before motioning for a quick stop at her favorite juice stand. It seemed Ratso took the morning off for some reason but one of his few employees was happy to help her. Jade and Daisy, with matching peach mango smoothies in hand, made their way up the sidewalk to their local middle school. They could see the school ahead of them, and all seemed well until Jade got a familiar whiff of something troubling. Her eyes darted to a large tree on the side of the path, before Daisy could notice Jade reached into her backpack to take out a few notes from the day before. Luckily the morning had a strong wind blowing. Jade knelt beside the tree as if to fix her shoe when she released the papers to the elements.

'Oh crap, those were my notes for the history exam this week!'

'I got them, be right back.'

Daisy took off after her friend's school work as Jade took a strong stance and sharp eyes to the tree.

'What are you doing here?'

'Free country babe, pretty sure I can go where I please.'

It was hard to see the scaly teen from the leaves that matched his green coloring so perfectly. With her canine like eyes Jade could see him easily, reclining back so cocky as taped his crossed clawed foot to no particular rhythm.

'That's not what I meant. I mean why are you following me?'

'Who said I was following you.'

'So you always pop up at random schools for no particular reason.'

'Oh, I have my reasons. I just said they don't involve you.'

'You're a real ass you know that.'

Dragon gave confident fanged grin as he playfully wiggled his eyebrows. Flustered at his new boldness Jade threw her nearly emptied drink as the young deamon. Drago caught it with ease before the sticky drink could splatter all over himself. Drago gave a loud kiss to the side of the straw before guzzling down it's contents.

'Ugg, sick. Seriously are you mental or something?'

'The girl who talks to herself is calling me crazy?'

'What do you mean, I don't talk to myself.'

'You do in your sleep.'

'Wait, you watch me while I talk in my sleep?'

'Talking isn't the best word, more like argue. And boy do you have some choice words, who knew you had all that in your vocabulary.'

Jade tried to think for a moment, true her past lives talked to her at time, but she never remembered having real conversations with them before let alone fighting with any of them. Sometime she could see forms of them that others could not, kinda like ghosts that only she could see and hear. Lately the forms were becoming more common, before she would only see one or two at a time a few times a week. Now she was seeing a handful everyday.

Drago looked down to see the young Master deep in thought. Her normally happy or sarcastic features were replaced with worry and concern. This truly hurt the dragon demon. You never want to see the ones you care for upset or in pain. The natural protective nature from his dragon ancestors encouraged him to jump down and hold her, to protect her from the negative thoughts in her own head. Sadly the maturity of a wise dragon was not earned by him yet. It was true what Jade said, he was an ass. An ass that did not like having the attention from someone he cared for turned to other things. Should he act on his protective instincts he would most likely earn a punch in the face, should he act on his more jerky side he would most likely earn a punch in the face. With little thought Drago opted for the decision that would at least give him a little fun.

While Jade was still deep in thought Drago slowly began to climb down the tree's trunk. His claws dug deep as his body clung to the wooden. When he was finally within reach, Drago launched his head forward to place a full deep kiss on an unsuspecting Jade.

For a moment Jade's mind went blank, first she was thinking of how she could be talking to herself and not knowing it, then she felt a strong pressure on her lips. Faster than a second thoughts and urges flashed threw her mind too quickly for her to decide on an action. Part of her wanted to deepen the kiss, part of her wanted to grow fangs and bite the demons face off, part of her wanted to take the scaly beast behind the nearest bush and take full advantage of their close contact, part of her wanted to take him behind the bush where her claws could grow long and cut the creature from head to toe and watch the lovely crimson blood spill around her.

Jade pushed Drago away as she knelt to the grown, her face turned ghostly white as her hand gripped deep around her mouth. Drago quickly jumped from the tree as he took her hand in his. Around her mouth deep nail marks were forming, much longer and she would have pierced the skin. Drago felt the full weight of guilt as Jade looked up to his face. Her eyes were still golden but had a gloss lost look to them, looking to him for help in some unknown matter. Without a clue on how he could help, all Drago could do was place a comforting hand on her back as she slowly began to settle down.

'Hey Jade!'

Jade looked in fear as her friend can running up the path with papers in hand. She felt like she had been at the base of the tree for hours, in truth only a minute or two had passed. Her mind was still flustered, she couldn't think of a good excuse to tell her friend. She could still feel Drago's hand on her back, would he have enough sense to jump back to the tree before Daisy could see him?

'Oh man Jade, are you ok! Did that guy do something to you!'

Guy, what guy? Did Daisy not see the giant lizard boy standing next to her. Jade turned to see what had happened to Drago and was met with a surprising sight. Where Drago once knelt was now replace by a new figure. A teen boy no more that 16 or so was at her side to give her comfort. He had dark hair with green streaks that spiked down from his head, a red shirt with an urban dragon design under a black vest and the most gorgeous brown almost red eyes she had ever seen. He was not a dragon, he was not scaly, he was ….. dare she say handsome.

Jade felt his hand leave her back as he pressed it to her forehead before placing it on his own.

'No fever, you still want to go in today? I don't mind taking you back to the shop.'

'Uhh, er no. No I'm good. It's ok Daisy, he's a friend.'

'You sure?'

'Yah, I just felt woozy and he stopped to make sure I was ok. This is…'

Jade was paused for a moment, was this even who she thought it was? The teen extended his hand out towards Daisy before taking it in his own.

'My name is Drago, I was on my way to the high school up the way when I saw Jade here needed some help. You sure you're ok now?'

Drago took both of Jade's hands in his own as he helped her to her feet. She still felt wobbly and thankful for the help. There was something so comforting about his touch, had he always had it or was this something new.

'Yah, I'm good. I'll text Gwen when I get inside incase it happens again. Umm, well we better head inside, you better go too or else you'll be late for school too.'

Jade turned to walk with her friend as she felt his gentle grip still around her other. His eyes were filled with general concern as he looked down only so slightly to her.

'Like I said, if you need me I'll come running. It doesn't matter the reason.'

Jade felt a slight blush as she turned to hide it with the drape of her hair.

'I appreciate it…and I will. IF I need you.'

That seemed to be enough for Drago as he handed Jade her bag abandoned on the path. He gave a nod to Daisy as he took down the path where they had once came, turning around a few times to check on the young girls until they were out of his sight. Jade sighed the giant breath she didn't know she was holding as she turned to her friend. Daisy had stars in her eyes as she just stared at Jade.

'What?'

'Best…Life…Ever!'

Jade and Daisy finally made it into the school, or what used to be a school. Today it was more of a battlefield. Jade motioned Daisy to stay close to her as they made their way to her locker. Students were buzzing in the hallways, running back in forth and franticly gossiping over some new endeavor. Halfway threw the hallway they found the rest of their friends: Frank, Rocko and Charlie.

Charlie gave a toothy grin as he made his way over to Daisy. She was midway threw rolling her eyes when she noticed the single Daisy he presented to her.

'A small thank you gift.'

'Thank you, for what?'

'For gracing our school.'

Daisy gave a slight blush as she took the gift and placed it behind her ear.

'May I escort you to your locker, I can help you to you class threw all the mayhem.'

Charlie curved his arm as Daisy surprisingly took hold. She gave a slight shake to Jade, silently saying 'I can't believe I'm doing this' before they made their way. Without Daisy noticing, Charlie turned to Jade to mouth the words 'Thank You' before focusing on the girl on his arm.

'What just happened, I thought Daisy didn't like Charlie.'

'One of the benefits of having a friend who's a girl, and a friend to the girl you like, she can give you some pointers. I told him he was coming off too bold for her and to try more romantic instead of braggy.'

'Wow that's lucky.'

'Hey I'll help y'all out but I'm not doing all the work for you. You need to make your own mistakes to learn and grow, but I will help you out here and there.'

Rocko lead the way as he bulldozed the way to Jade's locker as she and Frank followed close behind him.

'Dude what is going on around here?'

'We got some new students around here.'

'All this for new students, what is it the royal family or something?'

'I don't think any of them are related. They've been coming in since last week but I guess since there's so many people are just noticing.'

'Um ok weird, what's so special about them?'

'It's hard to say, they just seem cool. They're like super good at sports so I guess a lot of people are worried they're gonna get the boot.'

They made their way to Jade's locker as she began switching out her books for her upcoming classes. Charlie's was a set over so he did the same as Rocko dug threw his book bag for a report he needed for first period.

'So speaking of sports, you gonna go out for the track team.'

'Nah, more power to the ones who do. But I think I have enough extracurricular going on to worry about jumping over hurdles. I'll cheer for the people who do make it though.'

'So you'll be in the stands for them, like I mean take the time out just to watch them?'

'Sure I have respect for anyone who makes a team based on skill. Doesn't matter if it's the track team or the drama club, they work hard and I can respect that. Plus the sports guys tend to be really cute.'

'Ewww.'

'Oh come on Rocko, if I can listen to you guys talk about girls than y'all can listen to me about guys every once in a while.'

'Talk about them as much as you want, not like any guy would go out with you weird girl.'

The hall seemed to part as Brittany and her cronies Claire and Kimi made the scene. Charlie and Rocko stood close to Jade incase they needed to pull her away, Brittany had a gift for bringing out other's more violent side.

'As if the morning couldn't just get any better.'

'Funny, that's what I said when I saw you come in today. Look weird girl I just took time from my precious day to remind you'

'Of what happens when the rich from years of inbreeding.'

Brittany's face began to burn as she shot death glances to Jade and anyone who dares laughed. How dare this strange girl try to insult her! Everyone knew she ruled this school and yet she refused to get with the program.

'To remind you who rules this school. And as it's queen I get first dibs on any of the guys here. There is one major hottie who just started today and I warn you, if you do anything with all your weirdness to mess with him, I'll'

'You'll do what? Please tell me your plan in great detail, I'd love to see exactly how far ahead you can actually plan ahead. Personally I don't think you can go much farther than your next make up check.'

'You little Bitch!'

'You have no idea. Look Brittany I'll give you just a little advice, if you want to appear super threatening to someone then don't mention how you have to sacrifice your own time and energy to compete with them because you could lose. I don't know who this guy is and frankly I don't care. Why don't you stop looking for guys like some sort of accessory at the mall and try finding a little bit of depth in that shallow brain of yours.'

Brittany glare seemed to try and melt the flesh from Jade's face. Never had the teen been so enraged. Didn't she know who she was, she's Brittany! The most popular and prettiest girl in the school, the one who all the girls wanted to be and all the boys wanted to date, the girl who got everything she ever wanted or else!

The hallway echoed with the ringing bell for the first class of the day. Jade, Rocko and Charlie were able to blend in with the swarming crowd as they made their way to Mr. Baine's class. Daisy and Charlie were already there and able to hold their seats. Since they were some of the last to arrive, the class was nearly full. It was the first time that Jade really notice some of the new faces, and Charlie was right they were just cool. They were attractive, seemed intelligent and just seemed to give an aura of coolness. There was a superior presence about them, something that just put them above the rest. Jade and the rest took their seats as Mr. Baine trudged into the class just as the final bell rang. He quickly glanced at the class as he made his way to his desk, mumble complaints about over crowded classrooms and under paid instructors.

'Alright all you bright and insightful youths, it's time for me to see if I succeeded in pumping any amount of information into those sick skulls of yours. POP QUIZ TIME.'

The class erupted in expected groans as some tried to skim various notes in an attempt to prepare. Mr. Baine was notorious for his quizzes, which weren't that hard if you kept up with the reading. Unfortunately not many 14 year olds were skilled in reading text ahead of time.

'Yah yah, this is over that last 5 chapters, should be simple for anyone who remembers anything I've talked about in the last two weeks. Turn in what you have by the end of class or get a zero. And yes Miss Chan, before you ask you do have my permission to read after you're done. Get out the book you want and place it under you're desk. When anyone is done, raise your hand and I'll collect your paper.'

Jade took an old book she borrowed from Uncle's library, handing it to Mr. Baine for inspection as we came by to hand out quizzes. Once he was satisfied that there were no hidden answers, not that he thought she would need it, he handed it and the quiz back. The book was a collection of myths and legends written in mandarin. Jade had read the book many times and could recite the tales by heart. Since no one knew what she was reading, many avoided questions since they couldn't read it themselves they left her alone. This allowed her to dive into her own mind and talk to her past lives without being disturbed.

As Mr. Baine predicted, Jade finished within the first 15 minutes her hand was in the air. Mr. Baine took the test and began grading the paper, the only red he had to put to the paper was the hundred at the top. Jade turned to her book, the almost therapeutic sound of pencils writing out various answers helped her zone out into her own mind.

Uncle had taught Jade the art of meditation long before the mission of the Masters began. Normally Jades mind resembled an old farm house in the country where she and her parents would vacation. It was a simple cabin in western china, on the edge of a great lake and fields of flowers growing in different directions. Inside the cabin were doors and doors that seemed to go on forever, each one holding a different emotion, lesson or memory. The hallway of doors had expanded greatly since her awakening, behind each was a different pass life and a void of memories that came with it. No matter where she went above her was a giant door with her dog symbol and a yellow rope that hung down. Should ever she need a lesson from her original life, it was within her reach.

'Hey guys, I need to talk to you.'

Jade's voice echoed down the hallway. Typically when she called for all her lives their doors would open as they either stood in the doorway or circled around her in a different plane. This time there was nothing. There was a cold presence in the air, even in the none physical plane it sent shivers down her spine. Jade walked to the closest door, a past life where she was a young farm girl in the south of France, and noticed something wrong. The door was deeply clawed, as if something tried to get in. jade turned to see the rest of the walls had similar markings, something had tried to enter the deepest regions of her mind but were kept at bay. Jade tried to open the door in front of her but for the first time it was locked. The life behind it was guarding itself from anything entering it. in a panic Jade ran down the endless hallway, trying furious doors with no avail. The claw marks and blood that came from their attacks were ever where, was this thing looking for something or seeking to destroy something. Jade decided to stop and try to get her bearings. As she began to calm down, the sound began more evident. The sound behind her, the sound of heavy breathing. Jade turned to see a frightful shape, a withered woman with blood dripping from her fingertips. Her deep claw marks were across her eyes, as if she tried to gouged her own eyes. Jade's senses were filled with the smell of death and decay, the echoes of painful screams and final cries before life was parted. Overwhelming fear took hold of Jade, in her mind she was safe and in danger, her nothing could hurt her, unless it was already in. She had no access to her powers and no way to call for help. Blood slowly dripped from the black stained lips of the woman as she suddenly roared and launched towards the young girl, all Jade could do was scream.

Jade found herself in a cold sweat as everyone in the class was staring at her. Jade was still shaken from the vision she had, a simple excuse was no where to be found as she tried to defend her actions.

'Got to that part of the story then, if it's the myth I'm thinking of I did the same thing except I was twenty five at the time.'

Mr. Baine looked on from his desk at his arguably favorite student. Had he just covered for her or had he seriously read the same book. The others seemed to accept the excuse and set about their quiz. Jade gave a sigh of relief as she turned to the closest window to get a taste of freedom. In the reflection of the glass was not herself but the ghoulish creature she saw in her mind. The creature roared again as it seemed to launch from within the glass. With a blink of an eye the creature had vanished. Jade hung her head over her desk as she tried to settle her nerves. A slight pat sound began to ring in her ear. Jade looked down at her desk to notice small drops of blood on her desk. Black blood. Jade touched the base of her nose to feel the discolored blood dripping from it's orifice. Panic rose in Jade, without a word she clasped her hands around her nose as she darted from the classroom. The building was too constricting, she couldn't breath. Jade burst threw the closet door as the fresh air of the outside hit her strong. Her feet kept moving without direction. She ran to the close park near the school and dove deep within the brush. Further and further she ran until her feet lost balance and she collided with the hard ground. Jade surveyed the area around her, it seemed to be a hidden part from the modern world, nothing but trees and plans that circled around her, no a sign of technology or advancement in sight. She quickly checked her nose for her injury, not a drop of blood could be found. Had she just imagined it, was it ever real.

'Poor little girl, lost her way has she.'

A wicked laugh echoed threw the brush, it seemed to be coming from within the foliage instead of around it. The trees began to spin as Jade tried to stand and find the main focus of the laugh. When it felt like her tenth time around Jade found the cause of the laugh. She was an older woman, in a tight corset and old London like skirt. Her hair was disheveled and sloppily piled on her head with various pin. From her neck was a deep clean line than ran from side to side, blood dripping down with little care as it stained the once gray corset.

'Oh don't mind this much love, had me a bit of an accident one night. Some bloke didn't like it much when I mentioned it was the quickest shilling I ever made. Tragic thing is turns out the darn thing was a fake it was.'

Jade could only stare at the strange woman. She knew that having the dog spirit she had lived throughout history in different parts of the world. Not all of her lives had been Asian, in fact at she had been born into every race or religion at least once.

'Are you…are you d'

'As a doornail love. Shouldn't cause you a fright, aven't you've talked to your dead self more than once befoe.'

'Not like this.'

'Well, then maybe your getting stronger or at least part of you is.'

'What do you mean?'

The ghost like figure disappeared for a moment before appearing behind the still frightened Jade. The woman went to run her fingers threw Jade's hair, before they simply passed through. A flash of disappointment covered her features as she bagan to pace around Jade.

'Not strong enough just yet, but I can wait. I'm very good at waiting. Waited this long for a new dog life to wake up, waited even longer for one so connected to magic and the other side.'

'But what are you waiting for, I mean what is it you want me to do.'

'Silly little twit ain't chu. Tell me what's the one thing you got that none of the other souls you got rattling in your head got.'

'A curfue?'

'Oh darlan, you've got the body, something we all want.'

The strange woman nelt down to make eye contact with Jade as her words sank in. she understood them but couldn't make sense of it all, why would they want her body, it was hers.

'But it's mine..'

'Fore now. I'm sure some of the others told you how you can channel your past lives into your body yes. Well who's to say we just don't take over while we're in there.'

'But it's MY body. This is My life, you're sappost to help me so we can stop Hei'an.'

'Silly girl, read it all again. The prophecy says the battle will end, it never says if good or evil will win. Truth be told I rather not fancy another century or two in some kid's mind, I'd rather just get on with my own life. A brand new start in a brave new world. I'm only saying this as a courtesy my dear, best for you to just drop your guard and let one of us take over.'

'One of us?'

'Oh I'm not alone deary, there are plenty of souls in your noggin that opted to stay there instead of headin south if you catch my meaning. The dog spirit has lived hundreds and hundreds of times before, and not every soul it took on was a good one. There are plenty of badies just wain to come out. But you know that, you felt that. Just like this morning when that lizard boy kissed you, you felt us. That inner urge to give into your sins. Lust or murder, the thrill of cutting, of taking what you want from others and seeing them ride in agony as you get stronger.'

'That's sick!'

'That's you. Don't forget, we are all part of you.'

A swirling vortex erupted around Jade. Frightful images of sinners past began to incase her, women from every era covered in blood, steel or decay pointed and laughed as the vortex began to spin faster. Murders, whores, serial killers, woman who started war for their own gain, woman who took the property of others and sentenced them to death so the treasure would be all theirs, woman who killed for the sake of killing and woman who enjoyed a sick perversion from the deed. Jade could feel the air thinning around her as she couldn't breath, a dark wave began to pass over her as she felt the looping fainting sensation approaching. From outside the vortex a large ball of fire shot towards her. A loud roar was followed as a green figured rushed the crowd. Many of the women figures scattered, a mighty claw made contact with the British tramp that had taunted Jade mere moments before. Blood tricked down her back from her deep gashes as she looked to the dragon teen with genuine fear. Drago released another roar as the remaining figures fled. Once the threat was gone Drago rushed to Jades side as she gasped for breath to prevent passing out. Drago cupped her face with both as he tried to talk her into full consciousness. Simple repetition of 'stay with me' kept her from blacking out, forcing her into her mind where she knew new enemies waited.

Jade couldn't believe he had come to her rescue, the dragon boy who she yelled at this morning alone, who last week she yelled out for losing a crucial dagger, who's heart she broke when she refused to even let him talk to the spirit of his true love. But yet he was here, he was here for her. The weight of the early morning sunk in as Jade couldn't help but cry. She buried her head deep in Drago's chest as the tears flowed freely. Without a word Drago cradled the young warrior tightly, protectively wrapping his tail around her, as he let all of her emotions pour out. It hurt him beyond reason to see her so wound it, but in a way it pleased him to know that she at least to show such a rare display to him.

And more to come, seriously I mean it I have like a whole outline. This and what I have planned to start typing tomorrow were actually meant to be 1 chapter but when I saw how long it was getting I decided to split it. So yah, this chapter happened. Bunch of stuff with poor little jade going on, this was meant to be kinda a filler –day in the life- sort of thing. I'd like to do a –day in the life- for all the masters since some of them need a little more flushing out. So diving a bit more into the relationships of the characters, I know in fandom and even in the start of this story it seemed Jade has a ton of suitors, so I needed to trim some. Charlie totally like Daisy, Rocko likes Jade but just in a friend manner like he like to get praise from her but wouldn't want anything more than that. Paco and Frank both like her in the same way, they see her as cool, pretty and get along great so they just feel a connection. Being the same age they see each other as rivals for her attention and would team up to anyone else trying to move in. Drago….well that's another bio for another time.

Leave me a review to know how i'm doing. Thanks everyone.
