G. I. Joe

The Amethyst Stone

Chapter 14

Jana grinned. She knew the song that was next Sarah had written when she broke it off with Snake Eyes. Now it was her chance to actually perform the song. And Jane had no actual help in making it, but the fake Jane didn't know that.

Viper shivered, visibly shivered. They had sucked her into a trap. And she was going to die now…this was the one thing she was afraid of.

Jana could see out of the corner of her eye Snake Eyes suggesting. 'Maybe she is Jane, and she's just having a bad day?'

'No, it's not that.' Sarah responded. 'Maybe the imposter went to a concert.'

Sarah calmly picked up her guitar which lay on the ground and glanced calmly at Snake Eyes.

We're in a picture black and white
Who took the light out of my life
When you, gave in
We're playing out of different roles
We should be wanting the same goals
Listening, forgiving

Oh, why can't we communicate
When the main feature is just beginning
In the silent movie there's no talking
You're just an actor
So break into my story
Take it over
Paint me with color

Everybody's speaking, but you don't know what they're saying
You're just guessing meanings
Interpreting emotion through a window that is broken
We're just testing feelings

Viper clenched her jaw and let the microphone in her hands drop to the ground. She took off and started to push her way through the crowd. The music in the background stopped and she found herself in handcuffs. She looked up into the hurt eyes of Flint. "So you all finally guessed it. Took you idiots long enough."

"Take her to a holding cell." The General ordered while looking away. He seemed disgusted that he hadn't noticed the truth of the situation.

Jana was going to follow but noticed that Sarah wanted to finish the song. After the song however she went after the person who had caused so much trouble for her. Storm Shadow followed her.

Storm Shadow grabbed hold of Jana's shoulder. "Don't go in there Jana."

"And why not? I am allowed to face the woman who has caused me so much trouble."

"Us," He corrected forcefully.

"Us-wait us?"

"You dragged me into this."

Jana opened her mouth, thought for a moment then said: "Only because I didn't trust the situation and I wanted back up."

"Right," he dragged out the word. "And you would also say that teaching me that technique without your father's permission was out of obligation too."

"It was."

He tightened his grip on her shoulder.

"You're hurting me."

"You're hurting yourself." His jaw clenched he finally mustered the words he had been trying to say for a while now. "I've been trying to let you know how I feel, but you don't take the time to notice anything."

The pain in her shoulder almost made her scream out. It still was tender to the touch and she had no explanation. "Please…my shoulder."

He let go and stared at her. "Jana-Amethyst," He corrected himself. "I have been trying to tell you something for a few weeks now…I just wish you would listen to me."

"I'm listening now that you let me go." Amethyst stated while rubbing her shoulder.

"When your father said that the best gift he could give me was the Seven Hidden Blades I thought it wasn't."

"Not true, you have been pestering me to teach those to you for some time!"

"I would have thought that a few weeks ago…but now…when your father said that, I thought the best gift he could give me was you. Not the Seven Hidden Blades."

Amethyst felt her heart drop out. He didn't say it out right, but she got what he meant. She knew it. In her heart she knew that he had found an attraction to her that went beyond learning the Seven Hidden Blades, and she had found the same attraction to him. Not able to form the right words Amethyst wrapped her arms around Storm Shadow and rested her face against his shoulder.

Taken aback, Storm Shadow didn't know what to do. He was confused. But his arms slowly wrapped around her and he rested his cheek against her head. "I'll go talk to that thing…go to the quarters and wait for me there ok?"

"Yeah…"

…

Jana lay on the bed. She debated if she wanted to cry because of her father's death, scream because of the emotional and physical pain she was in, or laugh because she had fallen in love with her former captor turned student. Hearing the door open she looked to see a tired Storm Shadow walking in.

Storm Shadow saw Amethyst sit up and he calmly sat on the edge of the bed. "I did it," He whispered before lying down so that his head was in her lap.

"Did what?" She sounded so confused as she ran a hand through his hair.

"The first blade, it worked."

Amethyst's eyes widened and she felt her heart skip a beat. "That's brilliant, but don't tell me you did it to one of those green shirts out there."

"No, better yet, I used it on Viper."

"Viper?"

"False Jane," He sat back up and turned so that they were face to face. "I had to imagine that she was hurting you, but I did it."

Jana felt a small smile grace her lips and she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Good, now for the second and third blades."

Letting a groan slip through his lips he let his head fall onto her shoulder. "Not exactly going to give me a break are you?"

"Not unless you master all seven in a week."

He looked up and made it so that their noses were touching. "Then it's a challenge." Tempted he thought to himself; Kiss her already, get that much over with. Finally giving in he kissed her lightly on the lips. "Maybe now you earned that last symbol."

A/N: Finally...they kiss! At last, my most happiest moment has been realized. I want to be a kung fu master who is dating a ninja who had hunted down my family until near extinction...WHAT? Just kidding. anyways r&r please.
