Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with Star Wars other than a video game and a book. I do own my character Kysha. Please don't sue me as the only things I own worth taking are my Bible and my copy of Lord of the Rings. And my dog, although she would argue about who exactly is the boss around here.

A/N:

The first thing I would like to do is I would like to thank all my beautiful reviewers! Especially The Cat Crusader, thank you very much! This wonderful reviewer reviewed practically every chapter and gave me a helpful suggestion so, thank you. And thank you to Drake5, Minne Sota, dr. kitten, and JessGirl.

Ahh! (Runs from readers with pitch forks and torches) I'm really, really sorry this took so long! It took for ever for me to just sit down and write it and then it turned out really short so I'm publishing another chapter right away. In my defense our computer has been acting screwy for awhile and my mom finally got fed up, took every thing off and basically re-built the software part of the computer. I've been wanting to post this for like a week but I couldn't because the computer was still messed up.

Anyway you guys didn't come to hear me to talk so on with the story!

Boba was in something of a quandary. He realized now, when he was thinking through how to go about raising a child, that there were disadvantages to living the life of a loner. He did know how to train a Mandalorian, that had been deeply instilled in him long ago.

No, what he didn't know was how to do it nicely. He did not particularly want to give this girl anymore of a reason to hate him but the Mando'a training was not easy. It involved long hours of running, training, learning to fight. The Mando'a seemed to believe that pain in training was a bonus, it toughened you up. Boba didn't know if he should try to bond with her first and then start with the training or do the training first and then see what he could do about being friends.

He decided that the best course of action would probably be to just get the training over with. That way he wouldn't be betraying any kind of trust. He smiled slightly, he remembered his first month of training vividly. He had known as irrefutable fact that his father loved him but through the first month or two he had believed that his father hated him and Boba had come close to wanting to kill him several times. After awhile he had gotten stronger and tougher and realized that this was being done for his own good; but it had taken awhile. Kysha had shown that she was very smart. He hoped that she would figure out he was trying to help her quickly.

The Mando'a bounty hunter checked the display screen and saw they had several hours left before they got to Mandolore itself. He left the control room and went to the captain's quarters. He didn't come in here very often, the place held too many memories of his father, but he kept his private comlink in here; and he would need it for the call he was about to make.

In the room right down the hall Kysha was lying on her back staring at the ceiling. Hoping that she had made the right choice. This was the man who had killed her nanny, she hadn't forgotten that and she didn't intended to but... there was something about him. The little girl wasn't sure what it was but she could feel something different about him. This felt right and she had learned to trust this type of feeling.

But still she lay there wondering what the future held. She had known several Mandalorians already in her short life and she knew that the training was hard. So hard that it was the reason many aruetii never made it to becoming mando'a even if they wanted too, they either died or quit. Then she smiled and relaxed, she knew she was good and she knew this would be hard but she also knew that she could make it. She trusted Boba; she didn't know why but she did. And she was going to prove that she was tough enough to become a mandalorian. But she would never forget or forgive what he had done to her nanny, of that she was certain. With that in mind she fell asleep
