Twilight

AN: I do not own Star Wars. Takes place after the Dark Nest trilogy. Basically my version of events before and during Legacy. Not all facts about legacy in this is true. This is my version of Legacy with lots of Kyp and the Kyp/Jaina pairing.

Chapter One

Jaina walked through the Jedi Temple at Ossus, her long brown hair pulled back into a messy ponytail. Her brown eyes scaned the hall as she walked, noting the looks the other Jedi sent her way. People would think that the looks sent to the niece of the Grand Master would be respect, but these looks were ones of mistrust. It had been a year since the battle at Tenupe and the Killik Joiner effect had almost completely left Jaina. Then she had always been in a flight suit fighting against the New Republic and Chiss forces. Now she wore the more appropriate outfit of a Jedi Knight. She wore a tan outfit and a brown robe. Her lightsaber hung at her belt and her knee high boots clicked against the floor.

As Jaina came into the council chambers to hear the council's assignment for her she noted all she had lost in the war with the Dark Nest. She had lost Jag, though she had already lost her romantic feelings for him, he had been a good friend. She had in a way also lost Zekk. Though they still remained close and Zekk still pursued her she had lost him. He wasn't the same as he used to be or maybe she had learned to much about his feelings for her when their minds had been linked. Zekk was a good friend and a great guy but she just wasn't interested in him. Jaina's eyes fell on Master Kyp Durron as she entered the room. She hadn't lost Kyp. He of all people understood what it was like to be controlled, and to be everyone's least favorite person. This past year he had spent a lot of time with her and had yet again become sentimental towards her. Her feelings for Kyp were confused. She knew she felt something for him, but he was her master. She realized now was not the time to sort her feelings out. She walked to the middle of the room and bowed low in respect for the Jedi Masters.

"Jaina you seem troubled." observed Master Corran Horn

"I am only troubled over people not trusting me Master Horn." replied Jaina honestly

"Trust can be regained in time." said Master Skywalker

"We have a mission for you that should gain that trust back if you succeed." added Mara Jade Skywalker

"What is the mission?" Jaina said as she reached out to her Aunt and Uncle. They were troubled, very troubled, Jaina wondered if it had to do with her mission, or her cousin Ben, she suspected both.

"A planet is near civil war. They are split between supporting the New Republic or supporting Corellia. We want you and a team of six other Jedi to stop this dispute before it becomes worse." said Master Horn

"Why me? Wouldn't a Master be a better choice for this mission?" Jaina asked

"We are sending you for personal reasons." said Mara

"They are?"

"The planet is Naboo, your grandmother's home planet. We feel that they will take to you especially since you have your grandmother's beauty." said Luke

"Choose your team carefully based on the skills they have that you may need." said Master Horn

"Tahiri, Lowbacca, Zekk, Master Durron, Tesar, and with the council's permission I'd like to take Ben." said Jaina after a few moments of silence

"Ben may go with you but I am curious as to why you chose Master Durron." said Luke

"Master Durron is a great pilot and we might need his skills to get onto Naboo. Also Master Durron is very wise in the Force and his knowledge will be a great assett." said Jaina

"Master Durron, Jedi Solo leave tonight and May the Force be with you." said Luke

"Yes Master." Jaina bowed and turned to walk out feeling Master Durron's presence following her. When they were well away from the council chamber Jaina turned toward the Master. Though younger than most of the council he was still much older than Jaina. Being forty-three his hair had a few strands of gray in it. He still had a strong build with his black cape and his shoulder length hair. His green eyes were filled with the years of knowledge and pain.

Kyp noticed Jaina staring at him and patiently waited for her to speak her mind. He tried to ignore how his heart skipped a beat when her brown eyes started into his. He kept his emotions in check before finally asking, " Is something wrong with my face? You've been staring at if for a long time Godess." He watched as the typical fire came to her eyes as she quickly turned and marched down the hall, but not quick enough to hide the blush. Kyp stared after her in confusion before again silently following her. They stopped when they reached Jaina's room. "Why were you staring at me earlier Sticks?" Kyp asked. Jaina turned from where she had been backing her things to give him an exasperated look.

"What does it matter Kyp?" Jaina replied. Her eyes taking in the confusion clearly shown on his handsome face. Her eyes then fell slightly down to his lips and she subconsciously licked her own.

"Your feelings betray you Godess." said Kyp as his breath caught in his throat. His eyes fell to her moist lips and he couldn't stop himself from pulling her to him and leaning down to kiss her. He kissed her passionatly holding her tightly to him afraid that she would push him away. He groaned in surprise when he felt her relax against him and kiss him back, wrapping her arms around his neck. Keeping his right arm around her waist he brought his left hand up to run through her long brown hair. He groaned again as he felt her nibble at his lower lip while running her fingers in his hair. He put his hand behind her neck and began to ravage her mouth. They soon parted for breath, panting heavily. Kyp's arms were back around her waist and her hands were resting against his chest.

"Why did you kiss me?" Jaina asked breathlessly as she looked up into his green eyes.

"You know why I kissed you Jay." Kyp said as he sent his feelings for her to her through the Force.

"Kyp." Jaina whispered as she laid her head on his chest. "The Sword of the Jedi can't have peace."

He held her tighter and whispered "Let me give you happiness then." He smiled as she whispered words he's been waiting to hear since that day on Hapes during the Vong War and whispered back "I love you too."

Jaina pulled away reluctantly and began to pack again while Kyp called the others to get them to pack and meat them at the hangar bay. Kyp then slipped out of her apartment to the one next door to grab his few things. When he came back Jaina had changed into a black jumpsuit and a brown traveling robe with her lightsaber hanging on her belt.

"Are you going to change?" Jaina asked

"No." replied Kyp as he grabbed her bag.

"My dad called and said he arranged for us to take the Falcon." Jaina said as they left her apartment and headed towards the hangar bay

"Why the Falcon? Your dad won't even let me borrow the Falcon, and he likes me."

"Mom convinced himto and he agreed saying that if we get into a pinch we would need her. You know the only reason he likes you is because you remind him of himself." said Jaina as she typed the code into the hanger bay lock

"I take it that one condition was that you fly."

"He wants you to copilot and remember no scratches. Well looks like we are all here. Kyp power up the Falcon and boys help us load up. Tahiri get the co-ordinates for Naboo ready." said Jaina as she headed toward the Falcon. They got to work and were soon in hyperspace traveling to Naboo.
