After that she'd follow them around secretly to some places the sage didn't want her to venture near; first to the Precursor Basin and then to Boggy Swamp. She fell asleep waiting for them at the swamp's entrance and then found herself on Jak's back, heading toward the sage's house. The aura around the house made her shiver, but Jak gave her a reassuring smile. As they entered, Kaj heard two voices talking about the sage's notes and the underwater Precursor City. Inside was a short green man with a log on his head and a long white beard; the girl was about the same age as Jak, but she had deep-green eyes and short, dark, dark blue hair.

"So you boys managed the swamp eh?" the old man said upon their entrance.

"Who's this little girl," the girl asked looking up from some notes.

"Um, I'm Makaja," she answered timidly.

"I'm Samos, the green sage, and this is my daughter Keira," the old sage answered.

Kaj had noticed something in the corner and saw a baby bird with a riding-saddle on its back.

"Where'd you guys find a Flut-Flut," she asked excitedly as she stroked its feathers.

Keira was the one who filled her in on their mission and how they were going north to fix Daxter. Kaj agreed to help them find more power cells since she knew where some extras were hidden. When Jak and Daxter had finally defeated the giant lurker, it was time for her to return home. As she said her good-byes, she wished her new friends good luck on their journey.

…

Kaj broke out of her trance at the sound of a passing hellcat out on the skyway.

'I wonder what happened to them,' she thought as she turned from the window. In front of her, Kai was fast asleep, muttering and twitching in her sleep as if she were dreaming of a fight.

"Mind if I sit here," a deep voice asked suddenly.

Kaj looked up to see Jayden Sky standing next to her. Blushing, she nodded and moved over so he could sit down. Jayden was the smartest, richest and nicest guy in the whole school; he was the new Duke's adopted son (his father, Phoenix, had died some weeks ago during a battle). He and Kaj had been best friends since 4th grade and he has been her secret boyfriend for 3½ yrs now.

"I'm glad you could stay at my Uncle's new palace," he said as smiled at her. His misty-grey eyes shined and his dust-brown hair shimmered in the sunlight; plus his dark skin made him all the more drop-dead gorgeous.

"I'm glad too. It gives me a break from my over-protective family," she sighed as he placed his arm around her, "and it gets me a rematch with the black tigers to test my new abilities." They laughed together as the bus soared over the wide, blue waters of the world.

After four hours of touring the new city of Aeropa and getting a history lesson of its founder, Kaj, Kai and Jayden were dropped off at the Duke's palace. It was the chancellor, who obviously was tired, that greeted them at the door.

"Your father is in the infirmary with some travelers that helped defeat the dreaded Skyheed," he said as an answer to Jayden's question. "And yes, the arena is prepared for the challenge, your majesty," he answered coldly to Kaj's question about the black tigers.

Kai growled at him as they entered the arena, and made him jump slightly. As promised, a 30x25x20ft platform was set for her with 15 Black Tigers in uniform; they bowed in respect to her as she came up. She was greeted by the master.

"You've blossomed quite beautifully, dark angel," he laughed, "but let us see if you've improved your skills."

As she bowed to her first opponent and took out her favorite black sash;

"Bring it," she challenged as she tied it around her eyes.

Coming down the hall twenty minutes later, Duke Stefan was talking with some guests.

"I am truly sorry for getting you caught in this war Jak," he apologized for the 'hundredth' time. "It's alright," Jak said as he stretched, "I just wish we could have saved Phoenix."

He had been in the infirmary for nearly a week, recovering from a gun-shot wound.

"You have to be more careful Jak," Keira said concerned, "I thought I lost you back there."

Jak took her hand and kissed the ring on it, "I promise Keira, I'll be careful."

"Ugh, get a room," Daxter said from Jak's shoulder.

From behind them, a voice cried out, "Hey, Uncle Stefan, back here." Jayden had seen them pass the arena and ran to greet his uncle.

The Duke hugged his nephew and welcomed him home.

"Jayden is my adopted son, he was off at the mainland academy," he said to Jak and the others, "Jayden these are the folks who saved our city. This is Jak, Keira and Daxter."

"It's nice to meet all of you. I also thank you for avenging my father's death by destroying Skyheed," he said sincerely.

"He was Phoenix's only son," the Duke explained, "his mother died of an illness when he was just a toddler, and I was Phoenix's younger brother."

"Not to sound rude Uncle Stefan, but you gotta see this, the Black Tigers are…" Before he could finish, one of the Tigers was thrown right through the door in behind him.

As they ran in, another Tiger was thrown off the platform in front of them, and two others were getting tangled together by their opponent.

"What the heck is going on in here?" Jak said looking up.

To his surprise, they were fighting a girl that was at least 17yrs of age, with golden-bronze hair that was tied back and flowed past the middle of her back. She was tall, slim, and muscular; but what surprised him the most was the she was fighting blind-folded! She fought with such grace it seemed other worldly; not to mention, she was almost merciless when fighting. The last fighter had chased her to the edge of the platform and Jak could tell she sensed the boundary line. The girl suddenly folded her hands as if in a prayer, but what hit the opponent was a blast of red and yellow eco sending the guy flying! The master rang the gong to signify the end.

"You've grown masterfully, dark angel. Till the next time we face again." Jak looked quizzically at the old man for the name he called the girl.

"Alright Kaj," the girl next to him shouted. He also noticed that she relaxed her muscles as if she was holding back from joining the fight.

Tired from the fight, Kaj forgot about the edge and turned, falling off the platform; she fell only for a second when something caught her.

"Geez Kaj, you got to be careful," Jayden laughed taking off her sash.

When the sash was off, she reached for his face and kissed him tenderly on his lips. They pulled apart slowly, but Kaj jumped at the sight of the orange otsel and the boy he was standing by.

"Jak, Daxter?!" she questioned excitedly and disbelievingly.

hope u enjoyed it! plz R&R! i'll add more soon!
