I still don't own Jak and Daxter, but I am working on it.


CHAPTER 7

That night Jak sat on the roof of Spargus palace looking out into the desert, he sighed thinking of Keira 'I wonder what she's doing' he thought, he smiled 'I bet she's got her head inside an engine' he closed his eyes and let a mental picture of her float into his mind, there she stood smiling broadly at him, her eyes sparkled, her nimble fingers tossed a wrench in the air and caught it again, suddenly he heard a noise behind him and opened his eyes, he turned around and found Sig stood smiling down at him.

Sig chuckled and sat down next to Jak "You ok cherry?" he asked

"Yea, just thinking?" he said

Sig nodded "About a certain mechanic?" he asked

Jak smiled and nodded "I can't seem to get her out of my head, and I don't really want to"

"Y'know I could always lend you some transport, you could be there and back in no time?" he offered

He shook his head "Thanks Sig, but Torn will be watching"

"How about I put a call in, maybe I need Havens top mechanic for some advice?" Sig smiled

Jak chuckled "I really do appreciate it Sig but Torn wouldn't allow it" he shook his head

"You've changed Jak" Sig said smiling

He frowned "Your the second person to say that to me today"

"Well you have" Sig chuckled

Jak grinned "Good changed or bad changed?" he asked

"Good, definatly good, before you were so angry at everyone...you had so much pain inside you, but now..." he thought for a minute "Your eyes sparkle, you've found the light"

Jak laughed "Sig, you know I was given the light years ago"

"Yes but this is different, even when you got given the light, you still had pain in your eyes but now...you've finally found peace, like you've found the other half of you" he smiled

Jak smiled "I have found my other half, she's my soul mate, I know its only been a short while but I can't imagine my life without her, I can picture my whole future with her"

Sig studied him "Y'know your father fell for your mother just as quickly as you've fallen for Keira, one minute he's a young prince running around, a different girl every month, the next he's head over heels in love"

"What was she like Sig, my mother I mean?" Jak asked

He smiled "Your very much like her, she was a beautiful person both inside and out, your father adored her"

"What happened to her?" Jak looked down at his hands

Sig shrugged "No one really knows, when you was kidknapped so was she, after so many years we assumed she was killed"

"But you thought that about me?" he frowned

He shook his head "I know, I know, and I regret it every single day, maybe one day your mother will turn up alive and well"

"I suppose theres always hope" Jak smiled weakly

He chuckled "Now before Keira you wouldn't have said that"

Jak laughed "I guess not, see how much she's healed me"

Sig put a strong hand on Jaks shoulder "Your father would have been proud of you"

"Even though I turned down the throne?" he asked

Sig nodded "He only ever wanted you to be happy, and if your not happy being king then you should do what you are happy doing, and if thats running around Haven and Spargus kicking butt then thats what you should do"

"Thanks Sig, I really wish Torn would just let me join your wastelanders...hey wheres Dax?" he asked looking around

Sig laughed "I would love you to become a wastelander, maybe one day...and Daxter was last seen passed out in the dining hall on the table after becoming rather friendly with a bottle of red"

Jak laughed "Good old Daxter, at least he'll never change"

"And would we want him to?" Sig asked

Jak shook his head "Not on your life" he smiled


Keira wandered into the Naughty Ottsel and sat on a stool at the bar, she noticed Torn sat in a booth looking at her, she ignored him and waited for Tess.

Tess jumped up and smiled "You ok, honey?" she asked

"Yea, I just miss him y'know" Keira sighed

She laughed and gave her a bottle of beer "Its only a few days, he'll be back before you know it" she smiled

"I hope so, its so weird, I never thought I'd ever meet someone like him, how did he pass me by all these years" she frowned

Tess shrugged "He was training pretty hard for a few years, and he spent alot of time in the wasteland, I guess he was just never around long enough to be noticed"

"Have you seen him Tess, how can someone not notice him?" she laughed

Tess smiled "Well you were too busy to notice him, too busy being angry about him, but the right guy came along at the right time, and he swept you off your feet"

"Daddy says its destiny" Keira smiled

"He approves then?" Tess asked

Her smile widened "Yea, and I'm so glad, he hated it when I was with him" she nodded towards Torn as Ashelin walked in.

Keira turned around as Ashelin got to the bar "Feeling a little lonely without your new best friend?" Ashelin asked sarcastically

She rolled her eyes "Well I could always go sit with Torn, see what he's been upto lately" Keira shot back

"I don't think so" Ashelin smirked and stalked over to Torn

Keira giggled and turned back to Tess, finishing her beer she handed her the bottle "Thanks Tess, I better get off, I've loads to do" she smiled and left.


Later that night Keira dragged her feet out off the bathroom and flopped down on the bed, she groaned and looked at the clock, two am, she groaned again she'd only left the garage half an hour ago, she climbed into bed and closed her eyes, suddenly her communicator started buzzing, she lifted off the bedside cabinet and pulled it open, eyes half shut "Yea?" she answered grumpily

"Did I wake you baby?" Jak asked smiling

Straight away Keira's face lit up and she smiled "Jak, no, I've only just got into bed..." she paused "I miss you so much Jak"

" I know baby, I miss you too...hey what you wearing?" he grinned

Keira blushed "Actually I've just got out the shower, so I'm not wearing much" she teased

"Well, let me look" he commanded

She grinned and pulled the covers off her, moving the comm unit so he could see her

Jak's eyes lit up, taking in her lacy hot pink knickers and matching vest top, showing her body off perfectly, she moved the unit back upto her face and smiled "Seen enough?" she asked

"Not nearly enough, baby" he sighed "Do you know how close I am to getting a car from the garage, coming there and telling Ashelin and Torn where they can stick their KG?"

She smiled "I know honey, it won't be long now, can you not get finished early?"

"I'll have a word with Sig, he knows how much I'm missing you, I'll get back as soon as I can" he looked around as he heard Daxter grumbling in his sleep "I better go baby, I love you"

"I love you too, please be carefull Jak, I need you to be safe" Keira sad

Jak smiled " I will baby, I love you more than anything"

She blew him a kiss "I love you" she closed the comm unit, sighed and wiped a tear away, settling down to sleep.


The next morning Jak and Daxter walked into the fort garage to meet Sig "Hey there cherries, hows it going?" he asked cheerily

Jak shrugged, Daxter chuckled "Jak's grumpy today, he's in looovvveee" he teased

Jak rolled his eyes "How long do you reckon this will take?" Jak asked

"Depends how quick you can get into that maraurder fort and get the artefacts back" Sig raised an eyebrow

He chuckled "Lets get going then, sooner I get there and kick some butt, the sooner I get back to my beautiful baby" he grinned jumping in the Sand Shark

Sig laughed and jumped in his own car.


Keira sat at her work bench studying some paper work Ashelin walked in and leaned on the bench next to her, Keira looked up "Can I help you?" she said polietly

"I know somethings going on with you and Torn" she said bluntly

Keira snorted out a laugh "Are you kidding me Ashelin, do you really think I'd be that stupid?"

"I've seen him hanging around you, the way he's been with Jak since you and he met" Ashelin snapped

She looked up at her "There is absolutly nothing going on with Torn and I" she said honestly

"And you and Jak?" she asked

Keira shrugged "Sure I think he's hot, but come on who doesn't around here, but we are just friends" she smiled "I don't understand all the fuss, I mean I used to go out for a drink with Lee all the time when he was single, why is it so different with Jak and I?" she asked

"I dunno, you just seem different, happy and Jak seems to have a spark in his eyes" Ashelin said

She smiled "Maybe I've just finally got over Torn, its been such a long time since I woke up feeling refreshed and happy, but now I am"

Ashelin puffed out some air "And Jak?" she asked

"You'll have to ask him" she shrugged

She leaned back up off the bench "Fine I will, by the way I need to see you later, we need to go over the itinery for the races" she said

Keira stood up "Ashelin, I don't hate you, of course what you did still hurts, but I don't hate you, I remember how you used to be, and I liked you then, it must still be in there somewhere...just be carefull" she said

"Carefull of what?" she snapped

Keira smiled "Torn, once a cheat always a cheat"


A few hours later Ashelin sat across from Keira in the throne room, suddenly the door burst open and Torn marched Jak in "Can you believe this punk, we send him to Spargus for a three days and he's back within one?" Torn growled

Keira smiled slightly, Jak winked at her slyly.

Ashelin stood up "Sig called, he said you'd done a great job, had the artefacts back in record time, well done Jak" she smiled

Jak nodded "So can you tell this jack ass to get off my back?" he asked sternly

She nodded "Have a seat, Keira and I are just going over the itinery for race week" she looked at Keira "I'll be back in a minute...Torn my office"

Jak walked quickly over to Keira and sat down next to her, he pressed a quick but hot kiss to her lips "I've missed you, so much" his hand going under the table and stroking her thigh with his fingertips.

She smiled "So how come you got done so quick?" she asked leaning her chin on her hand as he continued to stroke her thigh

"Sig said I could come back as soon as I'd got the artefacts back, so I went in all Dark and kicked some butt" he shrugged "I'm kinda knackered though" he smiled

She gently stroked his cheek "You should rest this afternoon, your gonna need all your energy for later"

"If I can get away, Torns watching me like a howk" he frowned

Keira smiled "And Ashelins watching him like a hawk" she giggled as Ashelin and Torn came back out the office

Torn glarred at Jak and slammed out the throne room.

Ashelin sat down "Right Keira, have you got all that?" she asked

"Yea, if you could free up Errol and Rex as much as possible, unless you wanna let Jak race for me?" she asked with a smirk

Ashelin laughed "Nice try...Jak I'll get your paperwork" she stood up and went back into her office

Keira stood up, looking over at the office she leaned down and gave Jak a quick kiss "See ya tonight handsome" she smiled

"Can't wait baby" he grinned leaning back and watching her leave

Ashelin came back out her office and stood looking at Jak, arms crossed over her body "Whats with you?" Ashelin asked noticing the stupid look on his face

Jak laughed "I just love watching that girl walk away, she has one hell of an ass on her" he grinned

"I hope your not getting a thing for her, you know the rules Jak?" Ashelin warned

Again he laughed "Can I not just admire the scenery. she sure is incredibly gorgeous, y'know if you wanted to get me to do all the shitty missions for the next month, then a night with her might just persuade me?" he chuckled raising his eyebrows

Ashelin laughed and sat down at the table again "Nice try, although it might stop Torn pineing for her, I don't know why he's even with me when he obviously hasn't got over her" she sighed

"Doesn't that bother you?" Jak asked

She shrugged "Not really, I mean I know he loves me,and I probably deserve it for what I did, but she's incredible, I mean she's got your tongue hanging out, something I could never do"

Jak leaned forward and grinned "Y'know if you got rid of that stupid rule, I could take her off your hands, I mean Torn would have to leave her alone if she had a fella, especially one who could kick the crap outta him if he tried anything"

Ashelin thought for a minute "Nah, can't do that, Torn will get over her eventully and she might find someone else soon" she winked at him

Jak chuckled "Spoil sport, I was looking forward to doing that mission" he lent back in his chair

She laughed again and pushed some paperwork over to him "Now sign them and you can go get some rest, Sig said you where amazing" she smiled

"What can I say" he said cockily signing the papers, he pushed his chair back and got up "Mind if I go crash at the Ottsel, its too busy in that room during the day?" he asked

She nodded "Yea I can imagine, go on then, but be back tonight"

He nodded and left.


Jak landed on Keira's balcony, he transformed out of his light form and looked through the window, he watched as he saw Keira walk out the bathroom in a pair of lacy black knickers and matching bra, he grinned as she walked to the waredrobe, he quietly opened the french windows and walked in quickly stepping up behind her, he snaked his arms around her waist, she jumped slightly before realising it was Jak, she smiled and leaned back into him as he started to kiss and nibble on her neck and shoulders, she reached back and ran her fingers through his hair "Jak, what are you doing here?" she breathed

"Ashelin said I should rest" his hand moved lower and his fingers pushed down the front of her knickers

Keira moaned slightly as his fingers started massaging her "I love you Jak" she moaned

He smiled and spun her around to face him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and crashed her lips into his, her tongue pushed into his mouth, as his fingers pulled out of her and his arms wrapped around her again, lifting her easily she wrapped her legs around him as he carried her to the bed and gently laid her down, he got off her and quickly went to the door to close and lock it, taking his clothes off as he returned to her, he crawled back up her body, kissing randomly up as he went he snaked an arm around her and unclicked her bra, throwing it into a distant corner of the room, he took a breast in his mouth and gently sucked and played with it, she moaned and pushed her breasts further into him, his hands moved down to the waist band of her knickers and pushed them down, she wriggled out of them as Jak pushed two fingers inside her, she gasped as he pushed into her, Jak moved his mouth off her breasts and moved back up to her lips he smiled down at her "God, I've missed you, I love you so much" he breathed

"I love you too Jak, how did I ever live without you?" she whispered running her fingers through his hair

Jak smiled and brushed his lips against hers "You won't have to, ever"

Suddenly he pulled his fingers out of her and thrust slowly into her, looking into her eyes he made true love to her.


After what felt like hours of making love, exhausted and extremely satisfied, Jak and Keira lay snuggled up in bed, Keira's head rested on Jak's chest, his arm around her, his fingertips trailing up and down her spine. She snuggled further into him and kissed his rock hard chest "I love you" she whispered looking up

Jak opened his eyes, looked down at her and smiled "I love you too, and I've missed you so much"

Keira giggled "This is so bad, we've only spent a night apart and we have to do that anyway" she said

"I know, but it just felt longer, when I'm here I can always sneak over here and see you, but out there, being so far away from you just felt wrong, I never want to be that far away from you again" he leaned down and kissed her

She took a minute to open her eyes "Hhhmmm...so good..." she opened her eyes again "So how did you manage to get Ashelin to give you time off?" she asked

Jak shrugged "She knows how hard I work, and Sig gave me a glowing report as always" He chuckled "I think part of her did it to wind Torn up, she's pretty pissed that he's been hanging around you"

"Really, you didn't tell her he offered to leave the KG for me did you?" she asked sitting up slightly

He shook his head "Nah, but I did offer to go on all the crappy missions for a month if she'd let me have you, told her I could keep him away from you" he sighed "Keira, if you want to be with him, if you still have feelings for him, I'll understand, I love you I just want you to be happy" he said sadly

Keira sat up further and gently stroked his face, suddenly she pulled her hand back and slapped him hard across the face

"Keira, what the hell?" Jak yelled shocked

She looked into his eyes "Jak, I do not want to ever be with that man again, I love you, only you, forever!" she said angrily, climbing on top of him

Jak stared at her "Keira, what the hell are you doing, you just hit me?"

She smirked "Never heard of make up sex?" she cocked an eyebrow, before leaning down and kissing him passionatly, slowing pushing herself on to his already hard arousal.


Keira rolled off Jak panting, she pressed her naked sweaty body up against him, she waited until she'd caught her breath and then looked up at him "I'm sorry I had to hit you Jak, but I need you to know that I never want to be with anyone other than you, ever again"

Jak chuckled "You can hit me any time you want if you do that to me afterwards" he pulled her closer and kissed her head

"So your not upset with me anymore?" she grinned

He shook his head "I would have been more upset if you'd had to think about it, if you'd reacted differently"

She smiled and leaned up for a deep kiss, she pulled away and rested her head on him again.

"I have to go soon, I really wish I could stay with you..." he trailed off sadly

Keira sighed "I know, and I should show my face in the garage before it closes"

"Where are you going to say you've been?" he asked

She smiled and looked up at him "I'll just tell them I was visiting Daddy, and then doing some checks at the stadium"

"Ok, how about a shower?" Jak grinned

Keira got up "I thought you'd never ask" she grinned heading into the bathroom.
