Chapter 10
It was Jade's day off today; of course reapers get a day off, everyone does. Anyway, Jade was at one of the many parks that were just outside the city sitting on a bench and reading a book. The J team happened to be out for a walk and noticed her in the park.
"Maybe we should try talking to her again." Jackie declared.
"I don't know Jackie; she made it pretty clear last night that she didn't want to talk about anything, at least not to us." Viper replied.
"Hot-cha, the woman makes a good point Jackie, if Jade does not want to talk, she will not talk!" Uncle yelled.
"That does not mean that we cannot try Uncle." Jackie commented.
Just as the J Team was about to approach her they saw her friend Amber come running towards her.
"Jade, Jade, you have to come see this." She yelled excitedly.
Jade just looked up from her book.
"No." She said.
Come on, please Jade." Amber wined.
"No, I'm reading here." Jade said dismissively.
"Please, please, please, please, please." Amber begged while jumping up and down.
"Fine" Jade huffed.
"Yay!" Amber cheered before skipping in the direction she came from.
Jade just closed her book and walked in the direction her bubbly friend went in.
The J team just stood there dumbfounded.
"How the hell is she friends with someone like that?" Paco questioned.
"I don't have a clue." Tohru replied.
"Maybe, we should follow them." Jackie suggested.
"I don't know about that amigo, we're supposed to be staying out of trouble." El Toro stated.
"Yes, but it isn't like we'd be interfering with anything important, we'd just be looking for…" Jackie said before an approaching voice cut him off.
"Wasn't that the coolest thing ever?" Amber squealed.
"I've seen better at work." Jade stated.
"Hey there, what just happened?" Jackie said approaching the two reapers.
Then Mamorou was right in front of him. Jackie nearly screamed.
"Jade, do you think you could ask him to stop doing that?" Tohru questioned.
"Whatever, Mamorou, please." Jade said.
"What happened?" Paco questioned.
"Oh nothing just a robbery, nothing the police couldn't handle." Jade stated.
"Some crooks were trying to steal the jewel of Hikari." Amber explained.
"The jewel of what?" Uncle telled.
"The jewel of Hikari, it's this ruby that gives whoever touches it power to manipulate light." Jade explained.
"Interesting, sounds like a pretty powerful gem." Viper commented.
"Indeed, it does." A dark voice said.
Everyone turned to see Daolon Wong and the demon sorcerers.
"Why is it you people only show up now when something seems dangerous or interesting?" Paco questioned.
"That's none of your business boy." Xiao Fung hissed.
"Where might this gem be?" Tso Lan questioned.
"Do you honestly except us to tell you that kind of information?" Jade asked sarcastically.
"Yeah, it's bad enough that you guys showed up and that you know about it now. Do you expect a bunch of reapers to just tell you where the jewel is?" Amber asked.
"Come on Amber, let's go see what the guys are up to." Jade said.
As the two were walking away, along with Mamorou, Amber whispered something to Jade.
"Those guys didn't seem very surprised by that." Amber said.
"Well yeah, why wouldn't they, it's not like we're in a place where something like that is totally unbelievable. God Amber, you're unbelievable sometimes." Jade stated.
"I still wonder how you two are friends." Mamorou commented.
"I'm friends with you." Jade countered.
"I'm your bodyguard though." Mamorou stated.
"Yeah and she's my coworker, I didn't have to be friends with either of you, but I did." Jade stated.
"Touché." Mamorou said.
"Jade wait." Jackie yelled running toward the group.
"What do you want?" Jade asked.
"Can't we please talk to you?" Jackie asked.
"I really don't feel like it." Jade said.
"Jade, please, just for a minute." Viper asked.
"Amber, go find the others, ask them if they want to go to the club tonight." Jade demanded.
"Alright." Amber said before walking away.
"Okay what?" Jade asked once she was gone.
"Are you sure that this is where you want to be?" Jackie asked.
"Yeah, you spent so much time in the mortal world, we had so many adventures." Paco commented.
"How many times do I have to tell you that I like it here? As for all our adventures, yes we had some awesome ones, but I was always underestimated. I've been training since I was little, but you never wanted me to help with anything, and all because I was a kid." Jade stated.
"Only because we cared Jade, no one wanted you to get hurt." Jackie replied.
"Bull shit! You think that anyone kid or adult can stay out of danger for their whole life. I needed to learn how defend myself, and you tried to keep me out of it; even though I've been capable for a long time. So you know what just shut up about already." Jade yelled.
With that she ran off, leaving everyone else that was standing there speechless.
"Well done Chan, I think you really talked some sense into her." Daolon Wong said.
"Oh shut up, who the hell asked you?" Paco snapped.
"Paco don't quarrel with these creatures, but you do have a point. I don't see you all trying to do something about it." El Toro stated.
"What do you expect you bastard, we're demons. The only reason we would wanted to talk to her is so that she would tell us where that jewel is; but she's feisty, so I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon. Besides, I heard the Devil stays true to his word, and none of us want to be thrown into a dimension that has to do anything with us losing our eyes, kind of need those." Drago stated.
"Jade, will we ever to be able to help you again?" Jackie said looking in the direction that Jade ran off in earlier.
