G. I. Joe

The Amethyst Stone

Chapter 4

Storm Shadow felt the tension in her shoulders leave. She seemed to calm down a bit more than before. "How much pain are you in?" He asked.

"Do you even need to ask?" She retorted before pulling her shirt back on and walking away. She still wasn't going to trust him. That much he could figure for himself. He had taken her from one prison, put her in another, employed her talents for his use, and then she found out about his mark. That was going to take some time to explain to her.

"Amethyst, I want you to understand one thing." He said as he followed her.

"Don't bother; I know what kind of human you are."

Storm Shadow grabbed her injured shoulder and spun her around fiercely. He stared her in the eyes and gave her a gentle shake. She let off a small scream then stared up at him with pain filled eyes. "You don't know who or what I am. I killed my master in an attempt to kill Snake Eyes, your master! Do not presume that you understand me."

Amethyst's shoulder began throbbing and she didn't have the strength to fight him back. She rested her left hand against his chest. "Snake Eyes wasn't my master…" She said so softly Storm Shadow barely heard it.

"I thought you said he trained you."

"He taught me a few things, but he was never my master. A teacher, a friend, a brother, something you never thought of did you?" Amethyst used her left hand to pry his hand off her shoulder and she felt her body going into shock. The pain was too much, but she had used enough of her strength to attack him. Now she was going to faint, or be sick. The latter was the result. She fell to the ground and started dry heaving. Tears ran down her face and she felt helpless.

Storm Shadow didn't realize what the problem was until she was on the ground gagging. He knelt down and touched her back, avoiding the spot where she was injured. "Amethyst, do you need something?"

"I need to be home." She choked out after the gagging stopped. "I need my father…"

"I'm sorry," He said coldly as he hauled her to her feet. He walked her to her room and threw her onto the bed. "Rest up, you'll want all your strength."

For one moment Amethyst thought she was going to die. Then she remembered he wanted to learn the Seven Hidden Blades. "I never said I was going to teach you."

"You will, or you will watch your best friend die."

"ok, you're confusing me." Amethyst said as she got to her feet. Her knees wobbled but she had to face him, she had to force herself to be a stone. "First you treat me like a prisoner, then a slave, then a close friend, and now I'm a prisoner again. When are your mood swings going to end?"

Storm Shadow was surprised at the gall of the girl. She was standing up to him and yet he could kill her in an instant. Yet he needed her alive if he wanted to know the seven hidden blades technique. He clenched his jaw and thought about striking her. He moved a little closer to her so that their noses were almost touching. He raised his hand and watched as she didn't flinch.

"Zǔxiān ràng wǒ yīkuài shítoui" She whispered before closing her eyes. Something told her that he wasn't actually going to hit her, and that disappointed her.

"Be thankful I know when you've had enough damage done to you." He stated as he walked away. He wanted to know what she had said but he wasn't about to ask her.

"Xièxiè nǐ de zǔxiānii." She whispered then curled up on the bed. "Papa, I'm so sorry. I want to see you again."

Time was against her and she knew it. She didn't know what was wrong but she knew that she had to see her father soon.

i Zǔxiān ràng wǒ yīkuài shítou: Ancestors make me a stone

ii Xièxiè nǐ de zǔxiān: Thank You ancestors.

A/N: there, the first four are done...now sorry if Storm Shadow seems OC or Bi-polar, but i want him to have some kind of soft side that suddenly disappears when Amethyst tries to back talk. Much like a dad don't you think? anyways R&R.
