I re-read the whole thing and I'm still drawing a blank, unless it's the line about being a Solo and not having any rules... though I don't think so...

Jade is dense, apparently wink

Date Posted: 12/20/05 4:01pm Subject: RE: "Like The Deserts Miss The Rain" (post-NJO AU) Chapter 8 up 18 Dec!
And some sparks . . .




--Chapter Nine--

Jaina was extremely glad that she had brought sleepwear that covered her essentially from head to toe. Kyp, it turned out, usually slept in considerably less. Truth be told, so did she, but she wasn't about to use her normal habits around him.

When he came out of the refresher conveniently attached to his cabin, he stopped by the side of the bed and stared, one hand frozen in scratching his head so that the black curls stood up in several directions.

"What is that?" he asked, gesturing to the lump in the middle of the bed.

"A divider." Jaina looked smug. "So that you stay on your side."

Genuine amusement transformed his face, and Jaina had to look away. She'd rolled up the heavy comforter and placed it in the centre of the bed, effectively dividing the mattress in half. She also had the half closest to the wall, which might not end up being a good thing, but there it was.

She eyed him under lowered lashes. Black shimmersilk shorts hung low on his hips, the rest of his torso and legs bare. He wasn't bulked up, but every corded muscle spoke of strength.

Shavit, she thought. Aloud, she said, "Could you put a shirt on?"

He looked down. "You take objection to my attire?"

Jaina just looked at him.

Kyp smirked. She found she couldn't call him Rache, not in the privacy of this chamber. He seemed different here, and that was probably going to eventually be her undoing. But not tonight.

Without a word, he slid into bed, staying well clear of the divider. "Good night, little Jedi."

Jaina huddled under the covers, her back against the wall, and waited until she heard his breathing even out before she let her eyes drift shut.

----------

"Where are we going?"

Jaina leaned back in the co-pilot's seat and stared at Rache, who was studying the readout of the navicomputer.

"Coruscant," he said.

"Why are we going to Coruscant?" she demanded. "I thought the goal was to stay out of Imperial territory."

Green eyes fixed on her. "Because, little Jedi, we don't want to raise Jade's supicions any more than we can avoid. It's too soon to declare war on her. She's got something that she's doing and I want her to let me in on it. I can't let her know that I've sided with the Republic. She has to continue to believe that there is a chance I'll side with her."

"And how, exactly, do you plan to explain me?" Jaina crossed her arms under her breasts and levelled a cool look at him.

He ignored her for a moment, prepping the ship for the drop out of hyperspace. Just as the drop happened, he switched from autopilot and steered the ship towards the planet Jaina had once upon a time called him.

She hadn't been here since she was nineteen, since the Battle of Coruscant and the end of the Yuuzhan VOng war. The Empire had taken it in the confusion and Republic citizens were not allowed within its atmosphere. This was a Republic law, not an Imperial one. The Empire wanted to convert as many people as it could, and would take what it could get.

They didn't, as she'd expected, get into one of the many lines of ships waiting for clearance through the security field around the planet. Instead, they went in a different direction, straight towards Imperial City. Rache keyed in a code and a space in the field opened, closing almost as soon as the tail of the Shadow Chaser was through.

"Have your own private entrance, do you?" she sneered.

"I've been a . . . special guest of the Empress on several occasions," he replied.

"How do I know you're really siding with the Republic?"

Rache didn't look over at her as he flew. "You know the answer to that as well as I do, Jaina. It's the whole reason I took the path I took. I'm not out for galactic domination. I'm out for the complete and total destruction of the Empire, from its head to its very roots."

Jaina looked out over the glittering city-planet. "And how is it that Jade doesn't know this?"

"She knows only what I tell her," he answered. "And she's let power corrupt her. It's gone to her head and she can only imagine that someone like me would desire more power, because she was raised by Palpatine. It's all she knows of Sith."

"All Sith want power," Jaina whispered.

"Not me, little Jedi. I'm fine with my slice of it."

She remained silent for the rest of the flight. He landed on a private pad attached to a penthouse on the edges of Imperial City and shut the ship down.

"Yours?" she asked, gesturing through the viewport to the lavish apartment.

"Of course."

They followed the guards and Reiniger off the ship.

"All clear, my lord," one of the guards said.

Jaina started. It was the first time she'd heard either of the two humans speak.

Rache tossed a keycard to Reiniger. "Make yourself at home. Jaina and I have a few errands to run."

"Yes, my lord." Reiniger bowed his head and then headed towards the door.

Rache went in a different direction, towards a covered alcove on the landing platform. Within the platform were several speeders, some open-air, some enclosed. He chose an enclosed one, a sleek black machine that Jaina itched to tinker with.

"You like it, I see?"

Wordlessly, she nodded.

He handed her the keystick. "It's yours."

Jaina blinked at him. "You're kidding."

He shook his head. "Not kidding. Go ahead, take the helm. I'll let you fly this time."

The opportunity to fly the high-tech speeder warred with the part of her that was struggling to remind her who he was, and why she shouldn't accept such a thing from him.

In the end, she let the pilot in her win and she slid into the pilot's seat. Rache wordlessly got into the passenger seat and buckled in.

"Where are we going?" she asked, as the speeder lifted off the platform.

"Shopping. There is a ball tonight at the Imperial Palace, and you're in need of clothing befitting one of my . . . entourage."

"You mean harem?"

"No, I mean entourage. I don't have a harem. I'm somewhat particular about my company."

He was silent for the rest of the trip except to give her directions. She set the speeder down on a small platform outside a small establishment. Jaina reluctantly got out and locked it, then hurried to follow him into the shop.

Inside, she blinked in the dim light, trying to get her eyes to adjust. The low-level lighting and the darkly decorated interior seemed to match perfectly Rache's overall scheme of things, which didn't surprise Jaina. What did surprise her were the many leather accoutrements on display.

"Do you have a fetish or something?" she asked.

Rache laughed, a sound she didn't hear often. "No, but many of Maxima's clients do."

A very tall, thin being with silver skin came out from behind a black curtain. She had four long, double-jointed arms and large, unblinking eyes. Her figure was draped in, expectedly, black. Her hair was a very dark red, and Jaina didn't know if it was real or artificial, as she'd never seen a being like this in her life.

"Ah, my lord, you have returned," she said to Rache, in a voice like a flute.

Rache bowed to her. "Maxima, I have a young lady here I would like you to dress. If she expresses an interest in something, it is hers."

Two of Maxima's hands pressed to her chest. "Yes, my lord."

Jaina let out a yelp as Maxima grabbed her and dragged her behind the curtain. The woman found herself in a large, mirrored room with two doors. One was solid black, the other took up only part of the doorway as most dressing room doors did. It was much brighter in here, and Jaina felt momentarily blinded by the rapidly changing lighting levels.

Maxima was at a rack of mostly black clothing items and was rapidly flicking through them. "Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "This is perfect for you!"

It was black, with glittery insets on the sides running from the underarm all the way to the floor. Upon closer inspection, the sides turned out to be sheer. True, the insets were less than the width of three fingers, but it didn't make it any less sheer.

"No way," Jaina said, holding up her hands. "I'm not wearing that."

"Try it on, Jaina," Rache said behind her. "You won't wear it to the ball, but it might come in handy later."

She turned and glared at him. "Suck Hutt slime," she hissed, and stomped into the dressing room with the dress.

Maxima turned to Rache. "Tempermental, yes?"

"A bit." Rache went to the rack of dresses and started looking through. "I want to see her in this one, and this, and certainly this."

He stopped on one in particular, a deep red dress that consisted of a red longline corset and a very full, flounced red skirt with a sheer black layer over it. He loved Jaina in red, the way the colour made her skin so pale, and her hair and eyes so dark in contrast.

"And this," he said softly. "This she will wear to the ball."

"Yes, my lord." Maxima nodded and took the dresses to Jaina.

----------

Jaina's memory of the Imperial Palace was nothing like what Empress Mara Jade had transformed it into. There were too many colours and sights for her to focus on just one thing. It was beyond description. She remembered stately marble, and while that was still there, everything seemed to have been gilded.

She felt very out of place, even in the dress Rache had picked out for her. She wore a cloak over it, one of a very plush velvet that was incredibly soft to the touch. At least the man hadn't made her wear insensible shoes. She wore soft, sturdy flats of a deep red brocade that matched the dress.

Rache himself was dressed impeccably, in a black shirt with a standing collar, black pants, black boots that went over the knee, and a black cape that shimmered with thousands of silver threads woven through it. He wore it rakishly, pulled almost sideways, secured with a silver chain studded with deep rubies that glittered like drops of blood against the solid black of his clothing. He'd tailed his hair back against the nape of his neck.

Jaina had left her own hair down, so that she would feel less exposed when the cloak came off. The corset was trimmed in black, so she wore black gloves that reached halfway up her upper arm, and a black choker set with an immense red stone.

"We match," she said nervously.

"Is that a problem?"

"No, just making an observation." Jaina swallowed. Her mother had raised her in this world until Leia had finally decided to take over leadership of the Jedi in Luke's absence and they'd left Coruscant. It had been so long, she could barely remember going to a party anything like this.

They reached the top of a staircase that led down into an immense ballroom. Beings in attire of every colour and description milled about below them. On a raised dias opposite the staircase was a throne, and in it sat a woman in a dark, strapless dress, her red-gold hair loose around her shoulders. Jaina was too far away to see clearly, but she thought the dress was black.

A droid took Jaina's cloak and she tried not to shiver. It was warm in the ballroom, but the air was oppressive and there was such darkness that it made her feel cold.

A Bothan at the head of the stairs looked at them as they approached. "Names?"

"Lord Rache, and companion."

Silence fell across the ballroom as the Bothan repeated Rache's words into a commlink and broadcast it across the room. On her throne, the empress's head lifted and Jaina felt the weight of her gaze fix on them as Rache guided her down the stairs.

"Nervous, little Jedi? Don't be. You're safe with me," Rache whispered.

"That's ironic, coming from you." Jaina straightened her spine.

She might have imagined his chuckle. "I must introduce you to the Empress. Then we'll mingle with the guests and see what we can pick up."

"Won't she know what we're doing?" Jaina whispered.

"She's Force sensitive, it's true, but she's nowhere near as powerful as I am. Or you, I would think." Rache tucked her arm through his as they reached the foot of the steps to Jade's throne.

It was funny that Jaina feared the man at her side less than than the woman who descended those steps to peer at her. Jade's dress was actually green, and it glittered with emerauds sewn across the bodice. The woman was, by reports, nearing sixty, but she didn't look it. Her eyes were vivid green, brighter than Rache's, about the same colour as Jaina's friend Zekk's.

Too many green eyes, Jaina mused to herself.

"Lord Rache, you grace us with your presence. I wasn't sure if you were going to deign to show," Jade said.

"Would I miss one of Your Eminence's balls?" Rache took her offered hand in his gloved one and kissed it.

"You are remiss, Rache." Jade gestured to Jaina. "Who is this?"

Rache turned to Jaina, and there was a warning in his green eyes. His voice whispered in her mind. Be silent. Tell her only what I tell you to.

Jaina wasn't about to argue.

"This is Jaina Solo. I'm sure you're familiar with the family," he said smoothly. "I've managed to . . . seduce her away from the Republic and she's now serving as my new tactical officer."

Jade studied her. "An interesting move, Rache. One would think that you had plans to make war."

Rache laughed. "Hardly. You know I make my own tactical decisions. This is more of a, how should I put it, figurative title."

The empress smirked at Jaina. "So, then, I take it you have decided to take on a more permanent mistress. You will, of course, still attend to me personally if I require it of you?"

His grip on her hand tightened briefly, and Jaina understood in a flash what was being said. He'd just told Jade that she, Jaina, was his new mistress, and that didn't please the empress very much, since she was used to-

She wasn't as good at transmitting words, just ideas, but her disgust apparently got through because he surreptitiously stepped on her toes to keep her silent.

"Of course, Your Eminence," he said aloud. "Now, if I may be excused, I wish to dance with my escort. I will, naturally, keep a slot open for you if you wish."

"Naturally," Jade said. "You are dismissed."

Rache very quickly yanked Jaina into the crowd. His eyes flashed as he whirled her into his arms.

"You slept with that witch?" Jaina demanded in a low tone, low enough that it reached only his ears.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures, little Jedi," he responded. "Why, does that bother you?"

Actually, it did bother her. Contrary to what she'd been telling herself, she was starting to get possessive, and that was a Very Bad Thing.

"No," she denied hotly. "I just would think think that you'd have better taste."

He laughed. "Don't say that too loudly, Jaina. Jade has ears everywhere."

Lovely. Jaina sighed.

Well, at least Rache could dance.




Attached pic is Jaina in her dress.

Empress Jade and Kyppie. Don't want to picture it.

I loved Kyp here, making Jaina try on the dresses of his choosing. I didn't quite care for the dress he picked out though. Just a different taste I guess.

Very bad Jaina. Very bad....

You know I think I forgot to mention how I love that he calls Jaina "Little Jedi".

Great post. Kyp is pretty much the nicest Sith Lord you'd ever run across due to not being a maniac.

Now who is he going to mingle with? Always thought Pellaeon and him would get along famously.

Also, I do believe Kyp lied to Jaina about wanting to destroy the Empire, but then when Kyp talks of the Empire what is he talking about? Is he talking about dictatorship, the extravagances of the Imperial Court, administrative incompetence?

The ntion that he would even want to touch Mara makes me sick. He has far too much class for that. she's more for naive, ideliastic and somewhat dim farmboys.

Heh heh heh, everyone thinks Mara/Kyp is disgusting. Good, so do I. tongue

Jaina doesn't care for the dress, either. LOL.

That term of endearment came about by accident. I wanted something for him to call her, so I plugged that in for the time being, and it stuck.

You'll see who he talks to in the next post. And your guess would be a very good one. wink

Why would he lie to her about wanting to destroy the Empire? ?:|

The whole Kyp/Mara thing is very gross, yes. Let's just say that he was young and stupid when the whole thing started, and he was still under Exar Kun's influence. He hasn't figured out how to break it off yet.

Dana,


Oh, my, kriffing goodness. Excellent post. Most impressive. Really gotta to love (and still hate) Sith-ly Kyp. Why do I get the feeling that he'll get his Little Jedi before long? Jaina's falling hard and doesn't even realize it. Yup, it all spells trouble. And Empress Jade? Yow. I have trouble picturing her with someone who's not an idealistic farmboy. But she is large, in charge, and can kick the poodoo outta ya (or have her loyal guards do it for her). Yeah, as (shivers) icky as K/M sounds, you don't say no to Empress Mara. Period. Can't wait to see more of this ball. Great work Dana.

I love the way he calls Jaina "Little Jedi" it's a very nice touch.

I'm looking foward to the next part

And I agree with Melissa: Jaina could be in danger.

Hm.....the German names are confusing me.......Rache fits very well to Kyp, but Reiniger and Jacen?

I love the way he calls Jaina "Little Jedi" it's a very nice touch.

I'm looking foward to the next part


Hmm . . . well, if Mara finds out . . . grin

The "little Jedi" thing wasn't supposed to stay! laugh

Wow, lovely. Kyp is really nice in this chapter.
And I agree with Melissa: Jaina could be in danger.

Hm.....the German names are confusing me.......Rache fits very well to Kyp, but Reiniger and Jacen?


Weellll . . . It sounds more threatening than "Darth Gärtner". tongue

Another great post. I just love Kyp in this. He is such a hottie how could Jaina NOT fall for him? drooling

But him and Mara, Ugh!

By the way: thanks for the help on my story post. I sometimes feel so computer illiterate. happy

*sigh* I wish I had a picture of what he looks like in my head in this chapter so I could show all of you the Sithly hotness . . .

You're welcome for the help. happy But you still haven't read my PM to you!

I wonder, have you learned German and how did you get the "ä"? American and English keyboards don't have "ä", "ö" and "ü". (Do they have "ß"?)
But Gärtner really doesn't fit.
