Jaina wore a belt with her father's blaster hanging at her hip *sniffle* such a simple line, and yet very indicative of Jaina's character. I can just see her taking the blaster, belt and all, and - even if it's outdated - using it because it makes her feel safe and keeps her father close *sniff* So sweet!

And I adore the new "decoy" for Jaina. *laughs* you had me thinking TPM for a minute and wondering if they'd been sent back in time *chuckle*

I think Jacen and Kyp have met their match - though I wanted to smack Jacen when he told his siter not to expect loyalty. *sighs* stupid, stubborn Sith!

As for my reaction to the Kyp/Mara thing - I did catch the reference, I was only hoping I was wrong *laughs* it's just... wrong somehow wink

Wonderful Update, Dana, can't wait for more grin

Me too! More than that, I had this flash-image of Jaina adapting the belt to her size after Han's death... it sent shivers down my spine.

Excellent update, Dana, although I have a bad feeling about the fate of this new brown-haired, brown-eyed girl.


Well, I talked things over with MiaTieska last night over IHOP pancakes, and I think there are some surprises in store. grin

Yay update! Of course, I've been replying over on kajsu, so... I just wanted to read other people's replies here. grin

Sorry I didn't get this back to you last night, I had to make sure I'd fully read the earlier chapters, and wow that did clear up a few things. wink

You can't keep Han dead. Bring Luke back as a Force ghostie, fine, but there's no one for him to be with! Cause Mara's evil. Please bring back Han too! ....Somehow!

Love Anakin. Love the banter. I'm not usually one for AU's, especially dark AU's, but you've got me with this one. happy

-Mia, who has way too much to catch up with on the boards...


Hey, no problem. happy

I don't know how much of an appearance Luke is going to get, if any. But he'll be mentioned.

And Anakin will be back. Probably fairly soon.

Dana,


Yea, you've filed Chapter 11! tongue Sorry, had to do it. Wonderful update. That sneaky Rache. Hiring seemingly sweet and naive Ailana as a decoy for the Empress herself (and loved the milady btw - Padme would love it). Only the Sith. You know, it's rare to find a character you know is evil and you can't trust at all, yet is so... appealing you can't deny him/her anything. Your defenses just melt away. That seems to be the way Rache is going. I think we're in for quite the ride. Can't wait for more of the great story.


tongue

I know. I almost don't want to do what I'm planning for later and keep him exactly the way he is, lol.

LOL! No, no time-travel in this one. I did that in "Downfall".

Well, things will get interesting when Anakin shows up again. grin The Solo family will have some interesting times.

I'm amused that so many people are going, "Ewww!" about the Kyp/Mara thing in this when there wasn't a peep about it in "Doom & Dischord" . . .

Date Posted: 12/30/05 3:48pm Subject: RE: "Like The Deserts Miss The Rain" (post-NJO AU, dark K/J) Chapter 11 up 27 Dec!
--Chapter Twelve--

The rendezvous with the Eradicator happened in a no-name sector of space just on the Republic side of the Imperial/Republic border. Jaina asked Rache, as they landed in his private docking bay, why they had taken the Shadow Chaser to Coruscant, instead of the Eradicator, which would have been a much more impressive display.

"Because," he said, pausing as he stepped off the Chaser's ramp, "I don't want my ship anywhere near Jade. She might take it from me."

She couldn't argue with that. "I thought she gave it to you?"

"Yes, but that wouldn't stop her from reclaiming it, or my fleet."

"Is that why you sided with the Republic?"

"Among other things," he murmured. He gestured to the waiting servants and they quickly moved to unload the ship.

Rache stopped Jaina before she could leave to go to her quarters. "Dinner in my quarters tonight."

"All right," she said. "But I'm not wearing a stupid dress."

----------

There was a note on Jaina's pillow when she got to the bedroom of her quarters. She stared at it for several moments before saying to the room at large, "I'm going to have to figure out how he does that."

The note told her that she had full range of the ship, as long as she didn't leave. She could leave, it went on to say, but then he'd let Jade do whatever she wanted with Centerpoint Station.

"Blasted man," she muttered, crumpling the paper. She dropped in on the floor and the little mouse droid assigned to her quarters zipped over and beeped a scolding at her.

Since Anakin wasn't on-board, Ailana had his old room. The young woman was absolutely delighted with it. Apparently, she'd never seen anything like it before. Jaina left her to oohing and ahhing and took a short nap. When she woke, she found she had just enough time to dress for dinner with Kyp.

Jaina snorted. She was back to calling him "Kyp". Oh, well. Her brain apparently didn't want to keep calling him "Rache". Might as well let it do what it wanted.

She dressed in one of her civilian outfits, black leggings and a pale blue tunic with slightly flared sleeves. She pulled her hair back in its standard braid, then coiled it at the nape of her neck. It was a pretty no-nonsense outfit, though she suspected Rache would attempt seduction no matter what she was wearing.

Jaina found her own way to his quarters, no longer needing an escort. Which was fine, because none came for her. She knocked on the door, then waited for Kyp to open it. She tried not to look at him as she walked in, but it took effort, and she found herself glancing at him out of the corner of her eye.

He had his boots on this time, but was dressed in a loose shirt that opened halfway down his chest. It was a dark, shiny brown.

"Okay, I take back the comment about being a shoddy dresser," she said with a sigh.

"Thank you," he said sardonically. "It's much appreciated."

Kyp wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her flush against his body. Jaina put her hands between them as he pulled her, keeping some space between their upper bodies. His first attempt she dodged, but on the second, she let him kiss her. He was going to kiss her whether she wanted it or not--there was no question of whether or not she liked it, the answer was "too much". Constantly battling him was getting old, frankly, and her heart just wasn't in pummelling him at the moment. Maybe later. Besides, she'd thought of a new strategy.

He must have sensed something different in her, because he drew back from the kiss with a quizzical half-scowl. "Is something wrong?" he asked.

Jaina ignored him as she pulled out of his arms and went to the table. Silently, she let him hold her chair for her.

After they'd eaten, she said, "I've been thinking about this arrangement."

He lifted a dark brow. "Yes?"

"I have some . . . terms and conditions, if you will."

He sighed. "And what are they?"

She picked up her fork and sampled the dessert. "First of all, there will be no more stupid dresses. I may or may not choose to dress in one of the . . . things you got from Madame Maxima, but it will be my choice."

He rolled his green eyes. "Fine."

"Secondly, there will be no ordering me about. I am perfectly capable of free thought, and I already said I'd stay here. You do not need to threaten me."

Kyp snorted. "Done. Anything else?"

"There will be no more . . . consorting with Empress Jade. If you expect to get anywhere with me, you'll never touch her again."

"You are jealous!" he exclaimed with a laugh.

Jaina glared at him. "Shut up."

"If I can't order you around, you can't order me around," he said smugly.

She turned her eyes to the ceiling. "Fine. Whatever. Next, I get some of this chocolate thing whenever I want."

He snickered. "If I'd known chocolate was the key-"

"It's not," she said, cutting him off.

"Uh-huh," he drawled, leaning back in his chair. "Any other 'conditions'?"

"No more sleeping with Jade."

"You already said that."

"I'm reiterating. I believe in monogamy, and if you want me as your . . . consort, you will, too."

He sighed, acting very put-upon. "If I must. Is that all that's on your list?"

"One more thing," she said, and he shook his head.

"What is it?"

Jaina smiled sweetly. "My mother and brother get to visit whenever they want."

There were several long, long moments of silence, in which he stared at her in horror. "You've got to be kidding me," he said at last.

"What, is the big, bad Sith Lord afraid of my mother?"

"We're not even married and you're foisting a mother-in-law on me!" he said.

Jaina resisted the urge to snicker. "Those are the terms, Durron. Take it or leave it."

"All right. Agreed. Your mother can visit, though I don't see why she'd want to." He stood up, setting his napkin on his chair, and came around the table.

Kyp took her hand and pulled her to her feet. One arm slid around her waist. He bent his head to her ear. "Now that we've concluded our business . . ."

He pressed his lips to her neck and ran his tongue down the column of her throat. Jaina shuddered, wondering if she was doing the right thing. Then again, regardless of wrong or right, she didn't seem to have much choice in the matter either way. He'd already said he'd stand by and let the Jedi--her family--be destroyed if she went back on her word.

And a large part of her wanted to give in for her sake. He might have ulterior motives, but he also wanted her, and that was a very, very tempting thing. She couldn't remember the last time someone had been interested in just Jaina, rather than the Sword of the Jedi. Of course, he might have been after her for the Sword thing, but did she really care? The answer was rapidly turning into an emphatic "no".

She reached out with tendrils of the Force, to make sure he wasn't manipulating her like he had the first time. She didn't know whether to be flattered or embarrassed when she found that all of his thoughts focused in other directions. At least the ones she was privy to.

Jaina pushed him away for a moment, her fingers catching around the collar of his shirt. "One last condition."

"What?" he asked, in a resigned, almost pained way.

"No more messing around in my head. You said willing, and that means willing, not manipulated into thinking I'm willing."

"I'm not doing anything, little Jedi. You have my word, for the little you seem to think it's worth."

His mouth found hers and Jaina sighed, curling her fingers into the soft material of his shirt. She snaked one arm around his neck. He started backing her towards the curtained alcove-

The ship suddenly jolted, knocking them both to the floor. They landed in a tangle of limbs and his stupid cloak. Kyp landed mostly on top of her, pinning her to the plush rug just outside the curtain.

"This is a little sooner than I'd planned, but it works," he said.

"Get off me, you oaf!"

He chuckled and rolled to his feet. Jaina took his offered hand and stood up.

The lighting had changed to a pulsing red. He sighed.

"I suppose play will have to wait," he said. "I think we're under attack."

"By what?" she found herself asking. "Who'd be insane enough to attack this ship?"

He pulled his commlink from his pocket. "Captain Penta."

"Yes, my lord?"

"What was that?"

"We are under attack, my lord, by a flotilla of space pirates. You might want to hurry, our shields seem to be failing."

Kyp pocketed his commlink. Jaina frowned; she was still rattled from her close brush with stupidity.

"Okay, I know there are some stupid pirates out there, but why would they attack you?"

"I don't know, but I intend to find out," he muttered, then his mood darkened. "And our shields should be fine." He looked over at Jaina. "You might want your lightsaber, I've heard some pirates tend towards cannibalism."

"Oh, that sounds like fun to deal with."

"That was my thought."

Jaina had been sarcastic, but she got the impression he wasn't. "I'll go get my lightsaber."

"You didn't bring it?"

"I wasn't planning on having to fight anything," she pointed out. As his expression lightened, she added, "Other than you, I mean."

He motioned her over to the wall and depressed one of the tiles that made up the pattern. Jaina could see up close that it was a slightly different colour than the others.

A door in front of them slid open, revealing a turbolift barely large enough for two people. Kyp motioned her in, and then pressed a button on the side wall as the door closed.

The next thing Jaina knew, the door was opening . . . into her quarters!

"So this is how you've been sneaking in and out, you womprat!" Jaina slugged his shoulder.

"I've got them all over the ship," he said, rubbing his arm. "And would you please stop hitting me?"

Jaina grabbed her lightsaber, and then her belt and her blaster. "All right. I'm ready."

Ailana was in the sitting room between the two bedrooms, and she stared at them. "How- Where-"

Jaina pointed at her. "Stay here. Better yet, go lock yourself in your refresher until I come for you."

"What's going on?"

"We're having a party," Kyp said, and his eyes went yellow.

Jaina sighed. "Would you stop doing that?"

"Doing what?"

"The eye thing."

He just looked at her. She sighed again, and followed him out.

"That's one more condition. No creepy eye thing when we're in private."

"Can we discuss this later?"

"No."

"I'm beginning to regret this arrangement."

"Good."

Kyp was so calm and rather tender right there. The "eye thing" is priceless, as is the "I think we're under attack."

If Kyp wants to remain in one piece, Mara is off-limits, not that he'd want to touch her anyway.

The things Kyp will do to "gracefully" bow out of a relationship. Why not simply kill Jade? But then he wouldn't have been able to get this delicious arrangement.

And is he going to do anything truly dispicable? Right now he's very no-carb-cola of evil.

Wow, they really made it easy to use color, highlight and the list functions now when posting...

I like the story, especially because the plot is so much different than the usual plot, kinda like that singer from Linkin Park's voice... that guy's crazy.

By the way, you might want to change the title to say updated on the 30th because you could be missing out on some readers. I know Utah is behind the east cost but it must've really drifted west for it to be 10 days behind us.
