Jedi Academy

Chapter 4

Intense Feelings

It's been over four days since they've been at the academy. Falco has been on and off everyday with their training as he's been called to the main chamber to discuss some things about the three.

"I know that, but she's still pretty much a child," Falco said.

"I understand. I'm just more concerned about these feelings that she's possessing."

"It's no different from you or Fox."

"But her mind is not what we thought it was at first," Luke said. "You said that it was very pure. That still holds true, but not as pure as what I thought it would be."

"True, but she's still a strong person," Krystal added.

"And we're doing what we can to help her along the way," Falco said.

"If what you say is true, then I'll believe you," Luke said.

Krystal stood there and gave a bow to Luke and left quickly. As the giant doors slid open, she walked off to the training room to continue lessons. Falco remained there, wanting to talk to him about a few issues that were going on.

"Master Skywalker, I've been…"

Before he could finish his statement, Luke rose his hand up in a gesture that he doesn't need to explain anything.

"I know. I've been feeling it as well. Young Shizuka has been acting strange lately."

Falco stood there as he kept thinking about the recent events. It seemed odd to him that she'd request a room with Yami rather than being with another student. In fact, Serenity seems to be acting different around Yami.

"Notice how she's a bit fidgety whenever she's around Yami?" Falco asked.

"I've noticed that myself," Luke said. "I'll keep in mind that this is her first time feeling these emotions."

"Okay, thanks. I'll make sure that she also keeps up with her training."

"That's a good idea."

Falco then left as he kept pondering to himself what else there was to do. Luke stood there, alone in the chamber as he was waiting for the hour to come by.

A few hours has passed as the evening came around. Serenity was in her quarters, sending a transmission to her brother. She wanted to talk to him privately about some issues that she's been having. As she waited, the screen popped up, revealing Joey's face as he was sitting at his desk in his quarters on one of the flagships.

"Hey, sis," Joey said with a smile on his face.

Serenity sat there, happy to see Joey's face again. However, it doesn't show too well on her face as she sat there, barely smiling.

"Hey, Joey."

"How's everything at the Academy?"

"Great…I guess."

Joey sat there, seeing something in Serenity's expression. He could tell that something's going on with her as she was sitting there, but he could see something different about Serenity. He could just barely see a flush of red across her face as he sat there, watching as Serenity was feeling uncomfortable about something.

"Joey…is anyone there?"

Joey looked around in his room quickly and nodded to her that everything's fine.

"Big brother…I…I need to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"And…please don't be mad if I tell you this."

"C'mon sis; what will I get mad at you about?"

Serenity sat there, wanting to tell him about her feelings and what to do, but her own conscience is telling her to not say anything about it. She then had to say it.

"Joey…I…I…"

"You what?"

Serenity closed her eyes tight and wanted to yell out what she wanted to say, but it only came out as a mumble. "…I'm…in love with Yami."

She sat there, waiting for the scowling that she was expecting. Instead, she began to hear Joey chuckling in the background. She looked up to see Joey laughing about what she said.

"Joey, what's so funny?"

"It's nothing. I just don't know why you were worried about that."

"Well…I…"

"If you were worried that I would've been mad at you for falling in love, then you're crazy. I wouldn't mind," Joey then had a look in his eyes that showed a dislike for something, "just as long as it wasn't Tristan, Duke, or Seto…or anyone I don't want you to fall for."

"Joey, you should know by now that I don't have any feelings for them. I've had these feelings for two years now."

"Sis, you have to loosen up a bit and tell them. Even if you say it and they don't feel the same, that's fine. You'll know the truth about how they feel and you won't have to worry about it anymore."

"But…I…"

"Sis, believe me. I've been through this for a while."

Serenity sat there, letting what Joey said go through her mind. She looked up and wanted to say more.

"Joey…can you tell me what a kiss feels like?"

Joey sat there, not knowing what to say. He remembers each of the times he's kissed a girl, namely Mai, but he can't put it into words too well. He then took a deep breath and said what he was thinking.

"Well, there's no…uh…real explanation on how to put this together…I mean…uh…yeah…"

"It's okay. You don't have to tell me."

Joey sat there as he looked to his little sister. She seemed fine with not knowing, but he still wanted to tell her.

"Sis, just one thing; you have to experience it to know how a kiss really feels."

"Okay. I'll keep that in mind. Nice talking to ya."

"See ya, sis."

With that, Joey closed the transmission channel and began to walk off to his bed. After a days worth of training, he needed the rest. Luckily for him, he and Tristan only needed to learn how to fly and not have to go through boot camp again. However, someone on the other side of the sliding door was listening to the conversation that he and Serenity had. She sat there, hoping that it doesn't turn out as her wildest imagination.

Serenity sat there as she was thinking about what Joey said. She would like to tell Yami, but she couldn't tell him in fear that she might be rejected. She heard the door open and saw a tired Yami enter the room. He's been in training for quite some time to work his combat skills to decent levels. He went into the bathroom and began to take a shower. Serenity was tempted to leave the room. But because none of the other major rooms were open, with the exception of the other students' rooms, she couldn't go anywhere. She quickly got into her pajamas as she wore a long sleeve pink button-up shirt with a pair of pink flannels on. She saw Yami come out finally in some similar design nightwear, but his was a light blue color. Yami seemed annoyed by what he was wearing not for what they are, but the color.

"Uh…don't mind me. I really don't care for these."

Serenity only could giggle to herself as Yami said that. She was hoping that tonight was a better night.

As midnight came around, Serenity was still awake. What she hoped wasn't right. She only could lie there as her heart still yearned for Yami. Her emotions were tempting her to do something crazy, but she restrained that and only lie there as she couldn't stand it. Instead, she wrapped her right arm around Yami as her left hand was on his chest. She began to feel a bit more comfortable, but not much.

"I guess this'll be the best I'll get for now."
