I am
so
nuts for starting another story, but I can't help myself, I tell you! I just
can't
!
Anyway, here's the prologue...
Title:
~* Absolutely Necessary *~
Author: val solo
Time Frame: Approximately 5-6 years post NJO
Main Characters: Jaina Solo/ Kyp Durron
**Oops! Better add that I don't own much of anything really, so suing me would be pointless. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Prologue *
....
It simply
had
to be done.
It was all his fault anyway. He was only getting what he deserved. Stubborn, thickheaded man! The blasted fool had left me no other choice. Well, then…so be it.
I glanced again at my chrono and mentally ran through the steps to my fail-safe plan for the hundredth time. By now the message would have reached him, and, knowing his unquenchable curiosity, he would definitely show. In fact, he wouldn’t be able to
resist
coming. I felt my lips curve into a deliriously devilish grin. Was it wrong to be enjoying this? While it was maybe
just a little
wrong—and somewhat
illegal
—there was nothing else that I could do.
I took a deep breath of the chill nighttime air. It was just brisk enough to tingle as it filled my lungs and would do well to keep me alert. It was absolutely necessary things go exactly according to my plan. There could be no slip-ups, no hesitations when the time came to make my move. If this was going to work, I had to be at my best.
The moon was only half full, just as I had planned. Well, okay, I couldn’t really control the phases of the moon, but it did happen to fit perfectly with the rest of my ideas for this nefarious scheme. It gave me just enough light to see by, but not so much that my purpose would be revealed prematurely. Also, the predicted rain had held off, granting me the opportunity to complete my task unhindered.
If I didn’t know better, I’d swear the Force was working with me on this.
And maybe it was.
I glanced back up at the sprawling manor house before me. The gardens were the perfect vantage point for watching the comings and goings, and right now I was very interested in a certain someone coming--- and going with me.
Another look over my shoulder assured me that my cohorts were ready and just as anxious to get this show on the road as I was. “Just a few more minutes, guys,” I whispered, my confidence surprising even me. They, however, didn’t even notice the blatant arrogance I was displaying, but that was to be expected. No bother. I was proud of myself for taking this bold step. The man should have learned by now that I was not a woman to be trifled with, and if he hadn’t learned it yet, well, then, he was about to have his first lesson.
Another smile tugged at my lips. He was coming. I could
feel
it…feel the overwhelming brightness in the Force that was his personal, and very powerful, signature. It never failed to astound me each time I experienced it; however, I recalled with amusement how it really never frightened me as it did so many others. No, instead, it sent fingers of sweet anticipation up and down my spine because I knew how unpredictable he was and how I could never quite guess exactly what he would do or say.
And that’s what I liked…what I was hoping for. He was a worthy prey for this predator.
“Game on,” I muttered to myself, patting the small blaster slung on my hip. I was ready.
I flattened my back against the stone wall in the garden and waited, my breathing pounding in rhythm with each step he took as he drew near. I had my shields up so that he wouldn’t sense me until it was too late. Couldn’t have him escaping, not after all of this hard work. I licked my lips in anticipation and felt a bead of sweat trickle down my back.
Then I saw him. He stepped into the small clearing and paused to cautiously survey his surroundings. His dark cape swirled as he turned making him look dangerous…and he
was
dangerous…dangerous to me
and
to himself, which was why I was here doing what I was doing. I could just make out the features of his face in the faint moonlight and knew the moment he noticed my presence. He snapped around and glared in my direction, although I know he was unable to see me in the darkness of my hiding place.
“Jaina?” he asked taking a few steps closer. “Is that you?”
I took one last breath to reaffirm my convictions in this mission and stepped out of the dark.
“It’s me,” I stated simply.
He glanced at me in surprise and relief. “What are you doing here? Did
you
send that message?”
I had to play it cool. “Yes, I sent it, and I could ask you the same question. What are
you
doing here?” I gestured with my head in the direction of the house and kept a calm and indifferent expression on my face while I waited for his answer.
Unfortunately, he knew me just as well as I knew him.
“What’s going on, Jaina?” he tried again, totally ignoring my question. This time I simply stayed silent and slowly began to circle him.
He snorted and turned to watch me, a veil of coolness clouding his eyes. “I thought we said all we needed to say to each other already.”
Again, I did not speak only stared back at him. He may have said all
he
wanted to say…but I hadn’t even begun.
“There’s not any emergency, is there?” he said, his dark gaze locked with mine. “No reason for this little meeting at all.” He hung his head, sighed in defeat, and loosened his stance, his attention momentarily diverted from me.
And that’s when I shot him.
The look of pure shock on his face was priceless… eyes and mouth gaping wide open still refusing to believe what was happening. It only took a moment for him to crumple to the ground and I casually strode over and glared down at his disbelieving face.
“Sorry, Kyp,” I said without an ounce of remorse in my voice, “but this is absolutely necessary.”

Any takers????...............

Jaina!
What- you- DON'T SHOOT KYP!!!
ok, yes, you have me hooked, most definitely.
I will sit here, in the brilliance of the addiction this story has already caused in me in just one post, and wait for more. (If any of that makes sense, of course)
(.....and maybe write more of my own story)

YAY! New Kyp/Jaina!
Okay, my guess: STUN...she stunned him, right? I mean, Jaina wouldn't
kill
Kyppie...that wouldn't make for much of a Kyp/Jaina story, after all...more like a...a...a.../Jaina story. Without Kyp.
Anyway, that was an absolutely unbelievably hooking first post. I simply cannot wait for the second

Well, you know...a girl can only take so much and then...SNAP!!...
...

See my reply above to MegDurron's similar question. LOL! But maybe she has a good reason to ki---I mean,
shoot
Kyp.
And
Babi Tahiri
, I can't ask for more than that!
P.S.--- If you know me, you know I really love Kyp. That's my only hint as to what happens next.

As I said to Darth Ishtar earlier, I loooove this sort of Jaina.
I see her in this mode as something to aspire to.

Welcome to the story, guys!
I'm working on the next post as we speak, so I plan to get it up a bit later.
This is definitely a different Jaina than I've ever done before. She's survived the war and is a full-fledged woman now, which has many implications
and
complications. LOL! In fact, she's kind of already taking over the writing of this story!

RE: ~* Absolutely Necessary *~ -- new K/J fic!
I decided to put up the first part of chapter one right now!
~*Absolutely Necessary*~ ---Chapter One
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two months earlier…
I was torn.
Part of me was anxious to see Kyp again after all of these years. It had been nearly five since I’d last seen him face to face. During the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, he’d played such an important part in my life. More than just a friend or a mentor, and not exactly like a brother or uncle. No, the relationship we had could not have been labeled as any one thing. It was too encompassing to place such limits on what we shared.
However, there
were
boundaries between us…lines neither one of us would dare cross, and with good reason. I was so young, still in the process of becoming a woman and figuring out what I wanted out of life. He was older, already a man, but in many ways still finding out what kind of man he was and what he wanted to be. And so that’s how it had gone. Every so often, one of us might accidentally step a toe over that line and press for something more, but we’d instantly retreat back to the safety of our respective corners and keep it from becoming something neither one of us was quite ready for. At the time, I had someone to keep me company in my corner—Jagged Fel. But Kyp…well, he had no one.
And so I was torn…eager to see him, yet ashamed it had taken so long for me to make the effort.
My pace down the long corridor slowed and I felt a knot form in my throat. Kyp had deserved more than that…especially after our last meeting. It wasn’t long after the end of the Vong War. All the major battles were over, Jacen was already off on his quest to find new Force users, Danni and Tahiri sailing somewhere across the galaxy on Zonama Sekot, and Mom and Dad trying to settle into their retirement.
I had promised to meet Kyp for a long overdue dinner between friends to catch up. We were both shipping out the next morning—him to negotiate some new treaties with a few other members of the Jedi Council, and I was flying with Rogue Squadron to deal with a nasty little pocket of Vong resistance fighters. I still remember his aggravated expression when I arrived late only to tell him I had to leave early. Jag had shown up unexpectedly at my door the hour before and I, of course, couldn’t wait to get back to him. He was, after all, the love of my life—or so I had thought.
Kyp’s jaw clenched and he looked away from me for a second. “Go on, Jaina. In fact, go now,” he had said. “Mustn’t keep Fel waiting.” He smiled teasingly when he said it, but I could sense the hint of anger lurking behind the words. For some reason, it irked me like only he can do.
I stood up from the table and flared my nostrils. “Fine. If you’re going to be that way, I will. He’ll obviously be much better company than you tonight.”
“Obviously,” he said coolly, taking a casual sip from his glass and flicking that eyebrow up smugly in his
‘I-don’t-care’
expression.
I hated when he got like this. His relationship with Jag had always been strained—Kyp grudgingly ceding to Jag’s position as my significant other, although he thought him unworthy, and Jag’s continued suspicion that the Jedi master secretly harbored more than innocent intentions toward me. Whenever either of them brought up the issues, I quickly shut them up, not willing or ready to face any of the implications.
I stared at him, my hands clenching and unclenching into fists at my sides, willing my tongue to come up with some witty retort, but nothing came to mind. Only Kyp Durron could rile me to the point of speechlessness.
“Good night, Kyp,” I said finally, realizing I wouldn’t win this time. “I’ll see you when I get back.” Then I turned and left him sitting all alone.
That was the last time I’d seen him. I wasn’t proud of my actions now that I thought back on the memory. Unfortunately, it had taken nearly five years to realize what an idiot I was for treating a friend so carelessly…which is why I had to face him now regardless of my shame. I forced myself to pick up the pace and continued thinking.
Kyp Durron
. No longer one of the most detested names in the galaxy. The war had seen to that. It had made heroes out of many, and yet still so many more deserved the title. Kyp definitely did. Now, as a respected member of the Jedi Council, he was helping to rebuild worlds instead of destroying them. I had kept tabs on him even though I hadn’t seen him for five years. By piecing together reports from the Holonet and from Uncle Luke, I had managed to keep track of the career of my best friend I had somehow lost along the way.
I hoped that would change. I needed him back in my life. I knew that now. I was counting on him feeling the same way.
Finally, I saw his office at the end of the long corridor. I walked up to a small desk occupied by a young man, even younger than me, I guessed…fairly attractive with reddish-blonde hair and bright blue eyes. I assumed he was Kyp’s personal assistant. He glanced up and smiled, and I noticed a few freckles sprinkled across his nose. Wow. He was young, and I was definitely getting older just for noticing. I’d be reaching thirty in a few years and it was forcing me to reevaluate my life. That’s exactly what I’d been doing for the past year.
And it had led me here.
“May I help you?” he asked politely.
“Yes, I’m here to see Master Durron.”
The young man looked down and punched a few buttons on his data terminal. “Did you have an appointment?” he asked quizzically.
“No, no I didn’t.” I put on my best innocent damsel-in-distress face, ironically taught to me by my father, and asked, “Is that a problem?”
He glanced back up and I batted my big brown eyes several times—a trick my mother had taught me—and silently willed him to answer.
“Um, no. I don’t think it will be a problem,” he said with another smile. “Master Durron doesn’t have any more appointments scheduled for this afternoon, so if you’ll just give me your name, I’ll let him know you’re here.”
“You don’t need to know my name,” I stated with a slight wave of my hand.
“I don’t need to know your name,” he repeated word for word. Weak minded, eh? I filed that little tidbit away for future reference.
“Just tell him an old friend is here to see him,” I said casually as I took a seat in the small waiting area.
He nodded his head and commed into Kyp’s office. I tried to hear Kyp’s reply, but couldn’t. However, I could
feel
him behind those closed doors. I could always feel him, and how could I not? He was like some massive supernova in the Force, only this time his presence felt more subdued and controlled. I didn’t have much time to ponder what that might mean because at that moment, his office door slid open and out he came.
But he wasn’t alone.
A woman was right beside him, but he quickly stepped aside to allow her to exit first. My gaze skimmed over her quickly---tall…blonde…and hanging on his arm! I felt my nostrils flare as I rose from my chair. They hadn’t spotted me yet, so I took the chance to quench this unexplainable heat that flared within me.
“Oh, Kyp, darling, you simply must come back to spend another weekend with me in the country,” she purred, squeezing his arm even tighter against her chest, which was nearly popping out of her unnecessarily low-cut dress. “You work too hard and need a break. You
know
you would enjoy yourself,” she added suggestively, looking up at him from beneath her insanely long lashes.
They had to be fake.
‘Take a deep breath, Jaina,’
I told myself. What had I expected anyway? That he’d be alone, as usual, just waiting for the day I’d come back and admit I was wrong about us…that maybe I really did want more than a friendship? Apparently, if my guess was right, Kyp had not been sitting around pining away for my companionship.
Kyp smiled and reached a hand up to brush her cheek. “Li’andra, you know that rebuilding a galaxy takes a lot of time. I’m not sure when I’ll get to—“
Then he saw me.
“Jaina?” he said in whisper, instantly dropping her arm and taking a few steps toward me. Little Miss
‘Come-away-with-me-Kyp’
seemed very put out by his actions. I myself was unbelievably pleased beyond measure.
“Hello, Kyp,” I replied quietly with a hesitant smile, still not totally sure how he would react. Relief surged through me when he grinned from ear to ear. In the blink of an eye, he was standing in front of me, both of my hands gripped firmly in his, dark eyes staring into mine…
…and something inside me snapped. A certainty ground itself firmly into my heart and mind, leaving no room for anymore doubts. I impulsively leaned up on my tiptoes and kissed him—not on the lips, but on that special place located somewhere between the corner of your mouth and your cheek. It was a kiss that was mysterious enough to make him wonder just what it meant. Why did I do it? I was happy to see him, of course, but maybe… maybe I was staking my claim. I had known him first, after all.
Kyp seemed oblivious to my intention, but not Blondie. Maybe it’s a
‘woman thing’
, as my dad calls it, but our eyes met and she instantly knew why I was here. Funny how it had taken me so long to figure it out for myself.
Kyp didn’t let go of my hands, and was absent-mindedly rubbing circles on them with his thumbs. “I can’t believe you’re here,” he exclaimed shaking his head. “It’s been so long. How are you doing? Everything okay?”
I could have kissed him again for being so attentive, but I didn’t. One step at a time. “I’m fine. Everything’s good,” I said.
‘Now that I’m here with you,’
I added silently. And somehow, just seeing him, being with him,
did
make everything good.
“What are you doing here?” he asked, refusing to let go of my hands, much to my satisfaction.
“Uncle Luke summoned me here for the next Council meeting. He hasn’t told me why, but I wanted to come see you.” Could he tell how much I meant that?
He chuckled and squeezed my hands. “Well, it’s great to see you! I’m glad you’re here.”
“Ahem,” came the feminine intrusion. She stepped up alongside Kyp who suddenly remembered we weren’t alone. “Aren’t you going to tell me who your little friend is, Kyp?” ‘
Little
friend’?? The syrupy sweet smile on her too pretty face begged me to wipe it off--- with my fist…hard.
“Forgive me,” Kyp apologized, letting my hands go. “Jaina, this is Lady Li’andra S’ynclair. And Li’andra, this is Jaina Solo,” he motioned back to me with another warm smile, “a
very
dear friend of mine.”
Maybe I was imagining it, but the way he said
‘very dear’
added tinder to the spark of hope already kindling inside me.
“Pleased to meet you, Miss Solo,” she said offering me her hand as a royal might do to her subjects. I grabbed it and shook, adding a bit more pressure than I should have.
“Thank you,” I said, looking her boldly in the eye without returning the same sentiment she had offered. I wondered if Kyp noticed, but I knew that she did. I could tell by the malicious glint in her pale blue eyes that she had gotten my message loud and clear…and took it as a challenge.
Again, she latched onto his arm. “Is she the little girl you said you apprenticed during the war?” she asked him innocently. “Kyp and I have been close ever since he tracked down my husband’s killer a few years ago,” she continued.
Kyp jumped in to elaborate, appearing a bit uncomfortable all of a sudden. “Li’andra’s husband was a very influential Senator. A group of rebels from their home planet had ordered a hit on…” Kyp kept talking, but I wasn’t listening. I just wanted to look at him.
He looked pretty much the same as the last time I’d seen him, except for his hair. It was shorter than it used to be---still not as short as Dad’s or Uncle Luke’s, but he probably couldn’t tie it back like he used to. There were a few more streaks of gray at his temples, but not as many as I had expected to see. It was still fairly dark and so thick that I wanted suddenly to reach up and brush that unruly lock off his forehead and then plunge my fingers through the rest of those silken waves.
His jaw was still square, nose still a tiny bit too big, and his lips… Here I ceased my wandering eye for a moment and simply watched those full, tempting lips as he rambled on about
what’s-her-face
. I threw in a few nods and a couple of
‘Oh, really’s’
to feign interest, but all too soon he stopped talking.
“Yes, well, needless to say, I am so…
appreciative
of all Kyp has done for me,” she said evocatively. “We were just discussing his decision to come away with me for a while so I can…
repay his kindness
.”
I wanted to gag. She was so transparent that I bit my tongue to keep from laughing in her face. Did he seriously like this woman’s company? Even he must have realized how absurd she sounded, for I noticed a faint blush creep onto his cheeks.
“Oh, is that so?” I replied with a raised eyebrow aimed at Kyp. He glanced at me and I could tell he was praying I wouldn’t say anything more. “Kyp, if this is a bad time, I can leave,” I said.
“No!” he said immediately. “No, don’t go. I’d like to see you. Besides, Li’andra was just leaving.”
Yay!! Point for me! She defeatedly slid her arm from his and straightened her skirts. “Yes, I must be going. It was nice to meet you, Jaina,” she said through gritted teeth. Then she turned to Kyp. “And I’ll be seeing you soon, Kyp dear.
