Every human has four endowments- self-awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change. –Stephen Covey
Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I do not own Rosario + Vampire, or Star Wars in any way. I merely own the OCs.
Jiyuu was wandering the school ground again. It had been about a week since he first met Moka, and arrived at this school. Nothing serious happened after Saizou, and when the monster disappeared for a few days, rumors spread like wildfire. The most popular one was that Moka beat the… whatever it was up. Somehow, the idea that it was Jiyuu proved to be ridiculous to them, and the original 'rumor' that he was human has changed.
As far as the school is concerned, Moka was a powerful vampire, and Jiyuu was merely a pathetic weakling clinging to her for dear life.
That was only half right.
Even so, Jiyuu did nothing to disprove them; in fact, he rather enjoyed the random and arrogant monster coming up to him to challenge him.
"Hey! Weakling!"
Like right now.
"Yeah, you!" The monster called. He was big like Saizou, and was even uglier… if possible.
"Yes, what is it?" Jiyuu asked, obviously unimpressed by the monster's power.
"I'm here to get you away from Moka Akashiya. The strong are supposed to rule over the weak here at Youkai, so a weakling like you cannot go near a vampire!" The monster said, beginning to change into his true form.
Like Saizou, he was an Outcast Ayashi, or a hybrid, or a mutt… whatever they like to call them.
"Pathetic." Jiyuu scoffed. "The amount of power that you're showing here is less than the amount of power Moka has in her pinky."
Which was true of course.
The outcast started raging. "I still am far more powerful than you! Your Youki Aura is so pathetic! It's like it's not there!"
A dark smile spread on Jiyuu's face. "That's because I don't have one."
Before the outcast could retort, he was blasted backwards, straight into the forest and was screaming curses.
"Never gets old." Jiyuu chuckled.
He continued his little walk around the campus, and the students gazed at him in wonder.

It wasn't too long until he heard the announcement. The announcement of what, you ask?
Moka.
Wherever she went, males, and females, of all kinds started to mutter in awe at her.
"Hey look, it's Moka-san!"
"Woow… It's like she's surrounded by light!"
Jiyuu snorted. It was always about her looks. He had yet to make a move to announce himself to her, however.
Jiyuu figured he should go and see her before the boys got any… ideas.
When he saw her, he had to admit that she was definitely one of the most beautiful beings he'd ever seen. The beauty changed between forms, though.
The vampire Moka was gorgeous, intimidating, and definitely powerful. She actually seemed like she'd make the perfect Sith… Lady? Or is it Lord? Bah, who knows?
But the Moka he was seeing now was different. She was cute incarnate. The way she walked through the crowd with a big smile on her face, both arms behind her back and carrying her school bag… Well, it was part of what made this Moka so beautiful to him. She was kind, caring, and easy to talk to. She was also rather naïve, so Jiyuu was her self-appointed bodyguard. When he told her this, she smiled and called him her 'Knight in Shining Armor.'
He didn't quite think that was right, since he might make a better 'Black Knight'.
Anyway, Moka was walking through the crowd, looking cute as ever, and the guys were beginning to annoy Jiyuu with all their talk.
"Hey, Moka-chan!" Jiyuu called. Moka looked in his direction and saw him.
The smile on her face made his day, as usual.
"Good morning Ji-kun!" She shouted, practically throwing herself at him.
"WHAAAAAT! THERE IS A GUY WITH MOKA-SAN!" Was the general reaction of the audience. A few people yelled death threats, like, "HE'S NOT GETTING AWAY WITH THIS! I'LL BEAT HIM TO DEATH!"
Moka ignored them as usual, which led Jiyuu to believe she had selective hearing.
The two walked away, glares coming at Jiyuu from all directions. But there was one girl that was focused only on Moka.
"I'll get my revenge, Moka Akashiya. You won't stop my plan…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jiyuu and Moka were sitting together near the school building. They were talking about casual things, like school work, life before school (Well, Moka's life at least), and challenges to duels (All Jiyuu).
"Listen, Ji-kun." Moka began, using his little pet name.
'Oh boy, if my 'associates' back on Korriban could see me now…'
"Yes, Moka-chan?" Jiyuu asked.
"You should really avoid all these fights." Moka told him firmly.
Usually, Moka's wish was his command, but this was a little different.
"Why, Moka-chan? Are you worried about them getting hurt? If so, don't worry about it, I make sure they don't suffer fatal injuries." Jiyuu said innocently. 'Well, except for that one guy…' He thought, but he wouldn't say anything about that.
"I'm not worried about that, I don't want you to get hurt… Or expelled." Moka told him sadly.
Jiyuu smiled softly at Moka. "Nothing bad is going to happen to me Moka. And I won't let them separate us." He told her honestly.
'If anyone tries, it will be the worst mistake they could make…' Jiyuu thought darkly.
Moka smiled back, her mood visibly lightening. "Uh… Ji-kun…" She began, twiddling her fingers nervously.
Jiyuu knew what she wanted; it was beginning to be part of her daily ritual. She would ask him for her breakfast in the morning… Him.
He sighed and tilted his neck, "Go on, Moka-chan." She gladly bit down, and the usual pain was quickly replaced by a pleasurable feeling.
When Moka finished, she seemed to brighten further, if possible. "Thank you, Ji-kun! I think I might get addicted to you at this rate!"
Jiyuu sweatdropped. He found her constant comments on the taste of his blood rather odd. He was always happy to let her feed from him, of course, but she still managed to make him feel like food.
A monotone male voice came from the intercoms. "Moka Akashiya, please come to the front office."
Jiyuu stared at her in disbelief. "Did you do something wrong?" Moka shook her head.
"Well, I better go and see what that's about…" Moka sighed getting up. "I'll see you later Ji-kun."
"See you later Moka-chan." Jiyuu said with false happiness. On the inside he got rather annoyed. He liked spending time with Moka, but even so they'd get interrupted about half the time. Either by suitors or… the occasional perverted teacher. Jiyuu shivered at that last one. 'That PE teacher, he better have learned his lesson…' He thought.
Jiyuu figured that it was time to get up and keep moving, before he got too mopey.
It wasn't too long until he came across a young girl. She was moaning in pain, but Jiyuu felt her through the Force, and he knew it was a deception. 'Tch. She tries to deceive a Sith Lord of all people? Ah well, she doesn't know about that part, so I'll go along with it for now.'
"Oooh, please help me… I suddenly started feeling ill." She muttered.
Jiyuu looked her over quickly. She had blue hair, tied into a pony tail, and large breasts. She wore a yellow shirt with the school skirt. 'Which are far too short.' He added mentally. She looked like she was seriously ill; she was even sweating as though she had a fever.
Jiyuu smirked to himself, but put on a concerned face immediately after. "Oh no! Are you alright?" He said in a very good imitation of worry.
The trickster seemed to buy it, the amateur. "Ack… I have this condition… My breasts start to cramp up at random times."
'… Ok, I'll admit, that's a new one.'
The girl, as if to emphasize her point, began to push her breasts into the Sith Lord, amusing him greatly.
Now, Jiyuu was still blushing deeply at this. The scary part was the fact that he wasn't sure if he was faking it.
"Hey, Jiyuu-kun…" She said. Jiyuu looked at her, surprised that she knew his name.
"My name is Kurumu Kurono. Please be a good friend to me, ok?" Kurumu told him.
Jiyuu felt the effect… It was like he was being mind-tricked, and he was able to resist it. Obviously, the girl seriously underestimated his willpower.
"Ji-kun?" A voice called.
Recognizing the pet name, he looked up to see Moka slightly frowning at the scene. Jiyuu didn't blame her though, it was rather suggestive. He was holding a pretty girl close to him, and she was practically rubbing herself against him. That of course, ended when she heard Moka's voice and she glared daggers at Moka.
Before he could say anything, he was promptly dragged off by Kurumu, who apparently thought he was under her sway. He considered dropping the act, but he knew that he needed to ensure her motives before taking action against Kurumu.
'Sorry Moka, but I'll explain this to you later… Please don't be too angry with me…' Jiyuu thought worriedly.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Moka was leaning against the wall, fingers twiddling as she tried to make sense of what she saw earlier. 'Who was that girl? What is she to Jiyuu?'
'They really did look like lovers, didn't they? At least, the girl seemed to make it look that way… Why am I so worried? Why am I so… hurt, by this?' Moka wondered.
'Hey… Stop moping… You're being targeted…' A voice inside of Moka's mind told her.
"Huh!?" Moka jumped.
"You… are a vampire right?" A voice called. Moka looked up to see the girl from before, sitting on the railing of the staircase above.
"That's what the rumors say, Moka Akashiya!" She shouted. She leapt down nimbly, landing softly.
This showed off her panties though, and there were many comments on this.
"Whoa! Did you see that!?"
"Who is she!? She's so beautiful!"
"I can't believe there is another girl as beautiful as Moka-san!"
Kurumu walked up to Moka, and she said to her, "I am the succubus Kurumu Kurono… I… have come to defeat you."
"Isn't it against the rules to reveal your true form?" Moka asked weakly.
"I can't stand it anymore! You're the biggest eyesore in my grand plan!" Kurumu announced.
"Plan?" Moka wondered out loud.
"Yes! My plan is to make every member of the male student body at this academy become my slave! The Youkai Academy Harem Transformation Plan!" She yelled.
Moka, and the male populace in question, gaped at her.
"But there is one problem!" She shouted. She pointed at Moka. "Moka Akashiya, the guys at this academy are dreaming about you rather than me! I'm not letting you get away with this, I could never lose in a battle of feminine charm!"
Mutters from the crowd, "They're arguing… It looks like a heated argument…"
"That's why I've decided to prove that I can defeat you; I'll show that I'm better than you… by stealing Jiyuu Konran from you!" Kurumu exclaimed.
"Hey, that's not fair! Ji-kun has nothing to do with this…" Moka tried to say.
"Sorry Moka-chan, but I do have something to do with this now." Jiyuu said, appearing at Moka's side.
"WHAT!? WHERE DID HE COME FROM!?" The crowd exclaimed.
"Yeah, where did you come from, Ji-kun?" Moka asked frowning.
"The Force provides, Moka-chan. The Force provides." Jiyuu said smirking.
Kurumu gaped at him, completely unsure of how much he heard. "How long have you been there?"
"Well, after you tried to charm me, I decided to keep an eye on you and find out your intentions. I was very pleased when you decided to just announce your plans, so… easily." Jiyuu said, his smirk growing wider.
"You… you resisted my charm!?" Kurumu yelled shocked.
"Yes, I did. I will not stop you from fulfilling your… plan, although I've seen better plots from an eleven year old. You're major mistake here, Kurumu-san, was that you actually announced what your plan was. That's just… amateur at best." Jiyuu said, and he was clearly trying to not laugh.
"Come on, Moka-chan. We better not get caught up in this." Jiyuu told her. "After all, you want me to avoid fights, am I right?"
Moka smiled when he reminded her of her own request. "Alright, Ji-kun."
The two walked off, leaving behind a fuming Kurumu.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
*Meanwhile, on another planet in another system*
"And you're certain of this information?" A robed man asked.
"Yes, Master Durin. The Sith Lord known as Lord Chaos was last tracked heading to this sector of space." A younger teen in a robe said.
Master Durin looked the holopad over. He smiled slightly, although it was one of amusement. "Very well, I shall speak to the council about what to do about this. This may be our only chance to be rid of Chaos once and for all. Good job, my padawan." The Master nodded.
"If the council approves for a strike team, will I get to go as well?" The Padawan asked.
Master Durin smiled. "That is a likely possibility, Jace. But will you be able to face him? Will you be able to defeat your brother?"
Jace Konran looked up at his master. "I will do what must be done, for the good of the galaxy." Jace said bravely.
Master Durin nodded. He and his padawan left to go speak with the council.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Moka was worried. When she went to the chairman's office, she was greeted by him quickly and was told to expect a very important letter from her father.
Whatever it was… Moka didn't think she would like the news. The letter would be arriving within the next few days.
Regardless, she was determined to just enjoy her time with Jiyuu for the day. She was so worried about the Kurumu situation, but to find that Jiyuu could resist Kurumu for her was… endearing.
Inner Moka smiled within the rosary. 'Jiyuu, daily you prove yourself more and more to me.'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jiyuu was irritated. The Force was yelling at him, warning him of impending danger. The only thought that seemed to come up at this point was how to defend against it. What was this danger? Was it Kurumu?
Was it Jedi?
That felt closer to the mark than Kurumu. Jiyuu began to wonder if he should get his lightsaber, when he has the chance. If he really was dealing with Jedi, or Sith, he would be weakened tremendously without a blade.
A lightsaber was an extension of himself, sure. But he did not need a lightsaber to fight.
He needed it to stop the other lightsabers from cutting him in half.
Jiyuu sighed, letting his irritation leave him. After promising himself that he would retrieve the blade this weekend, the warning flares went off. Now he could enjoy his day of classes with Moka.
That was the plan, at least.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kurumu was pissed.
That… male! Jiyuu was able to resist her charms!? Not only her magical one, but her physical ones as well?
She needed to get back at Moka. She needed to show Moka her place.
So she plotted, and plotted, and schemed a little bit.
There was only one solution…
Kill Jiyuu Konran.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jiyuu and Moka had just finished up with classes for the day, and were walking outside the campus, in the forest, together. Neither was really worried about it, Jiyuu could fight off anyone, and Moka could always be unsealed to help if it was needed. Jiyuu never dreamed that anyone would actually be foolish enough to attack Moka in front of him…
Until this happened.
"DIE MOKA AKASHIYA!" A girl shouted from above, zooming down at Moka with her nails turned into claws.
Jiyuu acted on instinct, allowing the Force to guide his actions. He pushed Moka out of the way and Force Pushed her assassin into the sky.
After a few seconds, Moka realized who the assailant was. "Kurumu!?"
Jiyuu cursed himself. For the first time as a Sith he shows mercy and just gives a warning to someone, and this is how they repay him? By attacking his Moka-chan?
The Black Knight in him will not allow this.
Using the Force, he grabbed Kurumu and forced her to ground. HARD. A tiny crater was formed where she landed, and Jiyuu was genuinely surprised to see Kurumu get up. She was only slightly bruised by the impact.
Kurumu screamed, "WHAT ARE YOU!?"
Jiyuu let the Dark Side flow in him. "I am Jiyuu Konran. Known as Lord Chaos, Dark Lord of the Sith, Conqueror of Balmorra, and Vanquisher of the Jedi Order Conclave on previously mentioned planet. And right now, you did something that you really shouldn't have." He growled angrily.
Both Moka and Inner Moka were shocked. Their reasons were different, however.
'He's so angry.' Outer Moka worried.
'He's so… manly.' Inner Moka thought with a smirk.
Kurumu was absolutely terrified at this point. "WHAT!? A SITH LORD!?"
Jiyuu didn't even answer; he just grabbed Kurumu through the force and threw her around. She smashed into trees, into the ground, and even into a random critter. Poor critter.
He let Kurumu drop onto the ground. And he slowly walked up to her. Rage flowed through his body, and electricity began to dance across his hands.
'No, no Jiyuu! Don't do that to her!' Moka thought, terrified. She made a split second decision and stood in front of Kurumu in a protective stance.
Jiyuu stopped and looked at Moka in slight confusion.
"Please, Ji-kun. She's learned her lesson… So please don't torture her…" Moka said, trailing off and afraid he might throw her aside.
Instead, Jiyuu sighed and the lightning ceased. "I won't do anything you don't want me to, Moka-chan. And I'm slightly hurt that you think I would harm you." He said honestly. He could feel her fear in the Force, and it was directed at him.
Kurumu did something rather unexpected. Crying, she hugged Moka from behind and apologized a bunch of times. "I'm so sorry Moka, I was nothing but mean to you, and here you are saving my life…" Kurumu sniffled.
"It's alright, I forgive you Kurumu. It's because of your search for your Destined One, isn't it?" Moka asked, relieved that the situation had defused itself.
"Uh huh. I need to find him quickly, before it's too late." Kurumu explained to her.
"Well, then you need to do it the natural way. Charming men at random is no way to find the one you love." Moka said calmly.
"You're… You're right, Moka-san." Kurumu agreed.
Jiyuu smirked at the sight before him, amused by the sudden change. 'I guess Defeat Means Friendship here.' He thought with a shrug. 'I wish that was how it worked normally, because I would have a lot of friends.'
Jiyuu walked up to go check on Moka and see if she was wounded at all, from the push earlier, when he was blocked by Kurumu.
"Oh no you don't!" She yelled, attempting to show bravery for her new friend.
"Oh no I don't what?" Jiyuu asked confused.
"You are not going to hurt Moka-san for defending me, you sick bastard." Kurumu accused. This made Moka gasp, and Jiyuu's eyebrow twitched in annoyance.
Jiyuu breathed deeply multiple times, chanting, 'I will not kill Kurumu, I will not kill Kurumu…'
Moka seemed to understand what he was feeling, and she gently moved Kurumu out of the way. Kurumu was clearly confused, and it turned to absolute shock when Moka hugged Jiyuu tightly.
"It's alright, Ji-kun. I know you won't hurt me." She said softly.
Jiyuu finally calmed down and hugged Moka back. "Thank you, I needed that." He chuckled.
They parted quickly and Moka excused herself to go and relocate Kurumu to the infirmary to get the injuries checked.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Moka and Kurumu were talking together in the infirmary, Kurumu was healing from the injuries she received, but they were healing quickly thanks to her Ayashi blood.
The topic of their conversation? Jiyuu.
"Moka-san, you need to stay far away from that guy. He might hurt you if he gets mad." Kurumu told her, attempting to persuade her to see reason.
"No." Moka said firmly. "He has done nothing but be kind and protective of me. I trust him with my life, because he has saved it already. Twice, if you count this last attack."
"Twice? What happened the first time?" Kurumu asked curiously.
"Saizou."
"But… wasn't that you who defeated him?" Kurumu asked bewilderedly.
"Technically I think, but Ji-kun showed him his place… and it was terrifying to see." Moka said, remembering the event.
"What did he do?" Kurumu asked, afraid of what a vampire would find terrifying.
"You remember how he had electricity dancing across his hands before?" Moka asked. Kurumu nodded in response. "Well, he can shoot that lightning, and from what I heard from Saizou… Well, it sounded excruciatingly painful." Moka finished.
"Wait… he was about to do that to me!?" Kurumu exclaimed, horrified.
Moka nodded in response. Kurumu continued her line of argument. "That's all the more reason to keep away from the guy… What if he did that to you?"
"He won't. I don't believe it. He is my guardian here, my 'Knight in Shining Armor'… My first friend…" Moka stated firmly.
"He seems more like a 'Black Knight' to me…" Kurumu muttered.
"Naïve one." A voice inside the rosary called to Moka. She jumped and looked at her rosary. Apparently, Kurumu could also hear it now, and stared in shock.
"You can talk out of the rosary now?" Moka asked.
"That's beside the point. When you next see Jiyuu, you must give him my request." Inner Moka demanded.
"And that would be?" Outer Moka asked.
"When he next goes into battle for us, and it will happen again I'm sure, he needs to unseal me." Inner Moka informed her.
"Uh… Okay, but why?"
"Because I desire to fight alongside him. I have observed his fight with the succubus, I have heard his stories of being challenged for our affections. I even bore witness to the punishment he gave to Saizou. I do not want him to fight our battles, but he will do it anyway… So the least we could do is fight with him." Inner Moka explained, annoyed at having to explain her reasoning to her other self.
"I guess that makes sense. I'll tell him later." Outer Moka promised.
"Good, this conversation has made me weary… But one last thing…"
"What's that?"
"He is worthy." Inner Moka stated.
"Of what?" Outer Moka asked confused.
Silence was all that came after that.
Kurumu looked at Moka in shock. "What the hell just happened?"
"I… don't quite know myself." Moka admitted.
'What is he worthy of, to my Inner Self?' She wondered.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Master Durin and Padawan Jace Konran were waiting in the council room. Their request for a meeting about Lord Chaos was accepted quickly, and the Masters gathered as soon as they could.
The current debate was how to handle this information.
"We should send a team of Jedi to investigate what he is doing." Master Aaron said.
Master Durin was more in favor of action, however, "There is no need to investigate, we must grant him swift justice for his actions. I say that we send a Strike Team of Knights to defeat him."
"Master Durin, aren't you taking this a bit… personally?" Master Jax asked.
"Of course not." Master Durin replied evenly.
"Chaos is a special case. He was a former Jedi Knight, who willingly gave himself to Darkness. But, from what we've heard from the Imperials, he is not a cruel person within the Sith either. He does not slay in cold-blood, his anger might drive him to terrible things, but few things anger him. Honestly, if any of them were capable to return to the Light, it would be him. That is, of course, only true if what we've heard is true." Jedi Grand Master Shan explained.
"Which brings us back to the reason as to why he fell. The boy was a promising Knight, he defended others without hesitation and would willingly sacrifice himself for the good of all. Yet he falls into Darkness without any obvious reason. He did not ask for help to control this Darkness in him, no, instead he just goes with it." Master Lelouch said with a frown.
Master Lelouch turned to Jace. "You are his younger brother, am I correct, Padawan Jace?"
Jace nodded in response.
"Do you know why he turned?" Master Aaron asked.
Jace looked down sheepishly, and thought about it for a moment or two. "There were always two things he complained about when it came to the Order." He admitted.
"And they were?" Grand Master Shan asked.
"The first was the treatment of Youkai. He said that just because they felt like creations of the Sith did not mean that we should hunt them down indiscriminately." Jace explained.
"Youkai? That… is a strange reasoning for leaving. After all, the ones that were dealt with were always taking actions against the innocent." Master Jax frowned.
"The other reason?" Grand Master Shan asked.
"He said that he felt like a prisoner…" Jace said, looking down.
Stunned silence filled the room. The Masters were surprised by this, well… all except Durin.
"He always said that he wanted to live his life to the fullest. That he wanted to fall in love with whoever he wanted. He once told me that what had driven him to master the Force was to grant himself freedom. Freedom from the harsh laws of every organization and being outside of himself. The thing he fought for… was the freedom to do what he wanted with his life, despite being a Jedi." Jace said.
The stunned silence was over now.
Masters bickered with each other, while the Grand Master's expression remained thoughtful. Master Durin in particular found this excuse unacceptable.
"He had chosen his life… he chose to be a Jedi. To forsake that on a whim is not a just thing. This makes him a traitor as well as a murderer." Master Durin said with an impassive face.
"I have my suggestion now, if the council will hear it." Grand Master Shan said.
Despite the bickering, the Masters immediately turned to face Satele Shan. Despite her young age, her place as Grand Master was achieved because of her wisdom and power. So when she had a suggestion… well, it was listened to.
"I suggest we send a team of Knights to Chaos. This team will not act as an offensive squadron; they will not attack him on sight unless he is doing something to justify it. They will act as observers, and will give us updates on his actions. If he has the potential to be saved from Darkness, they will inform us of this, and we will decide how to proceed." The Grand Master finished.
Thoughtful silence filled the room, as the Masters contemplated the idea.
"All in favor?" Shan asked.
Every hand went up. A unanimous vote it seems.
"Master Durin, what was the last known location of Chaos?" Shan inquired.
Durin grimaced. "According to my Padawan… He's in the Earth System."
"Why would he go there?" Shan asked.
Jace raised his hand, requesting permission to speak. Shan allowed it.
"Youkai." Was all Jace said.
Durin sighed. "It makes sense. After all, Youkai were one of his complaints. Do you know where he might be going?"
"High School." Jace muttered, but everyone heard it.
"Well… That makes it more interesting. Since this will be a place for teens, it seems we must select Knights of that age range." Shan said, and the Masters agreed. "Padawan Jace Konran. You will go and take the test to become a Knight. Should you pass, you will lead the team."
"Why me, Grand Master?" Jace asked incredulously.
"Because your brother won't kill you on sight." Durin said as though it was obvious.
The Masters agreed and the decision was made.
'I'm coming to see you, Jiyuu.' Jace thought.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A/N: Well that's chapter two. I hope you all enjoyed it. Yes, I am having more OCs join in, cause every Sith Lord has a bunch of Jedi trying to kill him, or 'save' him. Poor Sith Lord.
