Sailorlyoko4life: "Hey guys I am sooo sorry I have not updated in so long."

Me and Zak turn and look at her with the most evil glares we could manage. "Um guys, hey what are you doing with that, put that down... I said I was sorry ok! I am sorry I broke my promise and left you in a cave for a year, Guys! Please! Noooo! HELP!" She screams as we lock the door and get our revenge on her.

Jade: Hey guys! It seems we are back in action now so please enjoy the chapter!

Disclaimer: Jade and Zak don't own either of their shows. So don't sure them.

The Secrets between us

Luckily Jade and Zak got back to the ship right as the adults had. They were all talking about the little "adventure" Jackie and Doc had at the area they were studying when they noticed that kids running towards them.

"Hey slow it down there kids, what's the rush?" Drew asked as she caught Zak by the arm before he got past her.

"Um. Well... there is …." "We are just hungry and Zak said there is only one more pancake leftover from this morning and we both want it so we are racing, see ya." Jade said from across the room. "Auahh YEAH!" Zak agreed hurriedly. Drew seemed to accept the answer as she left him go and he ran after Jade.

"Nice save." Zak complimented.

Jade just smiled and said, "Years of practice. Jackie still doesn't know about some of the ...stuff I've done before." Zak laughed. He has already heard some of the stories about that 'stuff' and they are pretty entertaining. They got to the control counsel and froze in their tracks.

The note... was there. Zak picked it up. Jade was visibly pale. It still read 'Jade has been kidnapped by the Naga's, I went to rescue her.' in Zak's handwriting. It was real. Or at least the Naga's appearing was. They could hear the adults on their way into the room so the two darted to the kitchen and shared that last pancake and some other snacks. Zak kept the note in his pocket until they could get somewhere more private.

-With the adults-

"They seemed to be in a hurry to get to that food." Doc commented as he and Jackie showed the pictures and things they dug up in the cave (that was on the side of the cliff on the island) to Drew and Uncle.

"Well they have probably been busy playing all day. I can tell from the jet ski's being out that they ended up in the water after they were done in the woods. They probably forgot to eat lunch and are making up for it now." Drew stated while studying some of the pictures.

"It's nice for Jade to have someone who can keep up with her and to spend time with while we are out doing our work. But if we let them eat now they won't be hungry for supper." Jackie said, while moving for the door to go tell Jade to wait, but Drew told him to stop.

"Zak is used to our routines, he won't eat too much knowing that supper will be on its way soon. He will probably just grab some snacks and head to his room. And with how well those two get along I would assume Jade will probably follow suit. I wouldn't worry about it." That being said she motioned for Jackie to look closer at one of the photos.

"Do you see the way that writing is curved? It's an ancient Summarian technice that allows others within their culture to know that its a warning. That means that this cave either was a place of danger or it was protecting something. How come your company sent you here again?" Drew asked Jackie. He wasn't sure he liked where this was going, but knowing his life it would be dangerous.

"Black told me to check it out because people were reporting weird happenings around it that were 'magically' related. Though now I'm no sure exactly what we are dealing with here." Jackie responded.

"Uncle will call Toruh and ask if he has Summarian books in order to do research! In the meantime we should some Basil and Ginger roots from the forest!" Uncle said rather loudly.

"Are we doing a spell?" Jackie asked. It wasn't unlike Uncle to want to do a spell as a precaution. He was met with a finger slap to the head.

"ouch!"

"Don't be stupid Jackie! Uncle needs to eat!" Uncle yelled at his Nephew. Doc and Drew just bit back laughs at the scene before them.

"Maybe it is time to start making supper now." Doc suggested. They all agreed and Drew and Uncle went to the forest to get some ingredients and Jackie and Doc started to get things out in the kitchen.

-In Zak's room-

Zak pulls the note back out of his pocket and puts it in the middle of the bed. They both just sit there staring at it for a good 5 minutes. Neither of them were comfortable with what was happening. Neither of them liked that both of their enemies were playing mind games with them. And neither of them were sure they could figure this out.

"Well," Jade started to break the silence. "At least we know one thing happened for sure, the Naga's and the mirror happened."

"Yeah but what about you turning blue? I mean clearly it didn't happen but then it had to be a vision. And then you passed out and I linked up with the rock and saw...why are you looking at me like that?" Zak asked.

"What do you mean you 'connected' with the rock?" Jade asked, clearly confused.

"Ok, so you know how I 'connected' with the mirror?" She nodded so he went on. "Well in our 'dream' or whatever it was we both were in, I was still getting weird vibes from that Tarakudo rock. So I had the crazy idea of trying to connect with it like the mirror and I guess it pulled me into some crazy vision." Zak started to explain.

"So you had a vision from the rock, within the dream from the mirror?" Jade tried to piece it together.

Zak shrugged. "That's what it seems like."

"Oohh kay then. What did you see from Tararocko?" Jade asked. Despite the funny quip that he actually did enjoy, Zak was a little hesitant to answer that. He wasn't really sure what to make of it himself. Plus he wasn't sure if he should have even mentioned it. But keeping secrets only divides... he knows that from experience with Argost. After all the lesson ' the mouth of the beast' that he himself was a monster to be feared... wasn't very good. He had to lie to his parents and even trick is own mom just for that. He was still nervous about his parents finding out that he was working with him right now. He has enough secrets... he doesn't want to have to keep them from anyone more then he already does. It would be nice to have someone other then Fisk to know. Plus Jade and him... he could trust her with anything.

"Alright. Well it started out in this room..." he re-told her what he experienced. After he was done Jade was quite for a minute.

"So... we were all teamed up? Us and our enemies?" She was trying to consider what that would be like, she couldn't even imagine it.

"Yeah, and evidently... well it sounds like something really bad happened between you and your uncles." Zak said in a quite tone. Jade had picked up the note off the bed and was staring it down. "But hey, we don't even know what that was. It could have just been apart of the illusion to mess with us. I mean it all seemed pretty unreal to me and this whole thing was crazy anyways." Zak put his hand on her shoulder and she looked at him with a little hope.

"So are we chalking this all up to mind games?" Jade asked.

"If you are cool with that, then so am I." Zak said. They smiled at each other. It was nice to have it settled. But Zak was also wanting to settle something else within himself. Jade could tell when he looked away that something else was bothering him. He clearly wanted to talk about something else.

"Zak." That's all she said. He looked at her and he knew she was willing to listen to him. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She sat there waiting patiently.

"Well, yeah, there is something I want to run by you that I have been keeping secret from everyone. I've been working with Argost." They talked about everything that had happened since the Naga attack in the city and how Argost had made him a offer that he took up. Jade understood why he didn't want to tell his parents. It was risky. And by the sounds of it it wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

"So that's why your uncle Doyle and Zon have been gone and you have been edgy around your parents lately. Makes sense, this is serious. Do you think you have an idea on what his master plan might be?" Jade asked.

"No. But clearly it will have something to do with my powers. At least he isn't teaming up with you know who." Zak answered. Jade shivered at the thought of Tarakudo and Argost ever working together. It was a sight neither of them would ever want to see.

"Yeah, talk about a deadly duo." Jade made a sour face. He stomach rumbled, reminding her that she was hungry.

"Well now that we are on the same page on our daily bad guys, why don't we turn the page and get to these snacks?!" Jade shouted while throwing some of their loot across the bed like it was treasure. Zak laughed, glad to have the mood lightened. It's one of the best things about Jade, she always knows how to brighten the room. With all of the hard stuff both of them are going through it never ceases to amaze him how she does it.

1 hour later Drew knocked on the door and told them it was time for supper. She was happy to hear laughed from the room and even though they nearly knocked her over when they raced by her, it was a small memory she would cherish, to see them so happy. She knew this had been a constant in the past few weeks but for some reason she couldn't help but want to hold onto it. Things weren't easy for them, she knew from the countless times that Zak has been waking up with horrid dreams, and she suspected Jade was having a similar problem even though she hasn't said much about it. It certainly did reassure Drew that the kids were leaning on each other and still trying to have fun. They would get to the bottom of this and make all the dreams stop, Drew silently promised herself they would. For Zak and Jade's sakes.

Jade: Hey guys! Me and Zak will be taking over the ending AN's from now on because otherwise someone -glares as Sailorlyoko4life- won't ever update if we don't help her.

Zak: Yup! It's about time we found her and tied... I mean 'convinced' her to start updating regularly. So we hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and are ready for supper because we sure are!

Jade: Yeah lets eat! *Starts to leave the room but shouts back* And remember to let us know your thoughts on the new events!

They leave and shut off the light, leaving a wide eyed and hungry Sailorlyoko4life tied up to a chair wondering if they will maybe bring her a plate of food.
