The air surrounding us was so dense you could have sliced it in half. The atmosphere was filled with a deep of concentration. Heavy breaths were the only sound besides our lightsabers crashing down against each other in a lethal and hypnotizing rhythm.

Two figures battled for dominance… one was tall and toned, striking aggressively and relentlessly, running on the purest form of adrenaline. The other was lithe and graceful; more calculating than the other and posed to strike, like a cobra would its prey.

We dueled for what seemed like an eternity. Complete opposites like fire and water. Either could be calm or uncontrollable, but together they create harmony. They flowed, together, in united rhythm. They were like oil and water… molding to each other, but never mixing.

I was the smaller of the two. Being a young girl, Shaak Ti had not thought it wise to train me in the same manner as my brother. She had trained me mainly in Soresu; teaching me to stay defensive until my opponent tired and became more vulnerable. Anakin had insisted on instructing me in Shien/Djem So as well, muttering something about manipulation being a girl's best friend.

Our dangerous dance was nearing its climax when I sensed Anakin's movements becoming a bit more desperate. I saw my opportunity and with one quick stroke I brought my cerulean blade to his unprotected side; stopping only an inch away from his robes. My brother glanced down only to realize that he was out of options. Raising his eyes to mine he flashed me a lopsided grin and mockingly through his hands in the air.

"Alright, alright you got me!" he laughed. "But I'm telling you, Silara, it's pure luck I didn't hit you."

"You always say that! Did you ever think it might be good training?!" I bit back, annoyed.

"Yeah, good training by me!" he stated proudly.

"Oh, bul-!" I started, but in flash he was behind me with a firm arm wrapped around my waist; his warm breath caressing my neck.

"Silara Veila Skywalker," he began in a dangerous whisper, but I saw the smirk on his lips "if you even think one more unsavory word, I shall be forced to take you over my knee." I giggled along with my brother's rich laugh.

The sense of light heartedness I'd felt began to fade as I sensed a familiar presence.

"You really should pipe down before Kenobi kills you for having too big of a head" I whispered.

My eyes shifted to the hooded figure silently watching in the shadows behind my brother's back. Apparently I had been the first to sense our quiet observer. Obi-Wan would kill us for our childish behavior. Anakin quickly released me, brushing himself off.

"How long have you been here, Master?"

"Long enough to see why you lost. Not helping, Kenobi! I brought guests" he said, motioning to Yoda and Shaak Ti shifting near the entrance. Anakin frowned.

"Hoping to see you both, I have been" Yoda commented.

"I've waited a long time to see my padawan face her older brother." Her face betrayed no emotion, but I heard the trace of excitement in her voice that I had hoped to find.

I moved to stand in front of Anakin's and tried to school my face into a mature look, but it came out as a small smile.

"Be our guests… you're just in time."

Hey, guys! Hope you enjoy! I just wanted to let you know this story begins just before Attack of the Clones. I will try really, really hard not to abandon this story.

I wanted to inform anyone who has already read this that I fixed the typos! The first chapter had originally been spoken into Google docs on my phone and I think you can understand what happened from there… I will not make that mistake again.

I've also updated this a little. I wrote two different versions and eventually decided that I didn't like how I had originally written Anakin. After all, he is still a teenager and a fun-loving older brother. Hopefully you'll find it a lot better now. Please enjoy and feel free to give advice (nicely).
