It was silent on the small ship as I manually piloted the ship just trying to keep my mind focused while trying not to kill Windu and fly to Kamino. I hadn't been back there since Obi-Wan came in search of Jango, it was almost six months since that fateful day on Geonosis and you didn't have to be Force sensitive to see my unease about returning.
"Are you okay?" Windu finally spoke.
I glanced over at him then sighed. "Just nervous." I said.
"Why?" He asked in an attempt 'talk'.
"I'm going home." I said after a long pause which led to another long silence.
"I really am sorry, Kira."
Without looking over at him I sighed. "But 'sorry' doesn't bring him back, Mace." Another tense pause.
"He attacked me first, you know."
I glared at him. "You were the one who held a laser sword to his throat."
Windu returned the glare. "I admit I could have handled it better."
I threw a sarcastic shrug. "Agreed." He gave an impatient huff. "Careful your human is showing."
"Are you always like this?"
"Why does everyone ask me that?" I asked more to myself.
"Maybe because you're rude."
"You hear that annoying voice?" I asked changing the subject.
"What annoying voice?"
"That one!" I exclaimed.
He gave me a confused look. "I don't hear an annoying voice."
"I do every time you open your trap."
Another silence; neither of us not letting down our glares towards each other. "I didn't teach you to be so rude."
"You didn't teach me anything." I snapped. "What I learned I learned on my own."
"Then where did you get such a terrible attitude?"
"I don't have a terrible attitude. Just towards the fools who murders mercilessly in the name of 'Justice'. You Jedi are a joke. You are not the 'Keepers of the Peace' you destroy the peace."
"Can't we just get along for the council's sake?" He pleaded.
I glared at him when an idea came to mind then held out my hand. "Truce?"
He gave me a weary look then took my hand and shook it. "Truce."
I nodded then set the ship on autopilot. "I'm going to make drinks, since we're 'getting along' you want one?"
He gave me a weary look. "Yes thank you." I nodded and walked to the kitchen area in the cabin, once the door shut behind me I held my hands hovering over the collar around my neck and clenched my hands and the collar broke from my neck and fell to the ground kicking it into the garbage compacter I began on two cups of caf. Once both were made I looked around making sure my mental barriers were up. I looked around and saw insomnia pills; I grinned and took a small handful of them. I used the Force to levitate them and crush them into a fine powder pouring it into one of the cups then stirred it until it dissolved. I put the cups on a tray and took them out.
"What took you?" He asked.
"I had trouble figuring out how to work the caf machine." I lied and handed him the cup without any drugs in it.
He gave it a weary look. "Trade me cups."
I gave a look of confusion holding the spiked drink to my lips. "Why?"
"Don't take any offense but I don't trust it."
"None taken." I said and handed him my drink and me his. He gave me a look. "It's not poisoned," I assured. "I'd tell you if it was."
"For some reason I don't doubt that."
I nodded and sipped my drink as he sipped his. Now I just had to wait. Windu didn't seem to notice the slight bitterness of the caf and looked out the viewport, a few moments later his entire cup was empty and he was starting to dose off. Patience was never my strongest point but it would only take a few more minutes…
"He's out." I said out loud as Windu slumped over in his chair with his hand mushing the side of his face, I grinned and trotted over to my armor sitting in the corner pulling out a pair of Force-proof binders and snapped them on Windu's wrists behind his back. I took his lightsaber and clipped it to the belt of my armor, then wrapped his mouth shut with a rope. I was taking no chances of him escaping and took his comm. Link crushing it with the Force then shoved him in a closet. "Sleep sweet, Master." I opened a message.
"This is Kira Fett, I was on my way to the Kamino system with Jedi Master Mace Windu but now we are under attack from space pirates. I am too pregnant to fight and-" I said then glancing behind me then made the ship rock then quietly subtly clenched my hand causing the blasters in the back to start firing. "They've entered the ship. Windu is on them now but I can't say for how- Ahhh!" I screamed making one of the back doors blast open then shut off the holo-transmitter. I sent the message to the council then trotted to the back and grabbed an extra blaster rifle and fired at the tracking device on the ship's console.
I clicked open a transmission line and waited for a respond when one came I smirked. "Mika Tae?"
The wavy head of red-blonde hair turned as the pair of yellow eyes smirked. "Hey Kira," She smirked. "What can I do for ya?"
"I need help."
"With?"
"Well first off I have Jedi Master Mace Windu knocked out and in a closet right now." I said. "I'm going to bring him to Dooku, hopefully for a profit, I'll be able to see that sorry wench die and get some credits for it."
"Uh why do you have a Jedi Master?" She asked concerned. "Isn't he your old master?"
Realization dawned on me. "You don't know do you?" I asked.
"Know what?" She asked.
I looked down then back up at the hologram of Mika. "Windu killed Jango six months ago."
Her jaw dropped. "He did what?"
I nodded at the memory of the purple blade slicing through Jango's neck. "…Yes," I said finally. "Jango's dead, Boba's missing, Slone's in a medical bay on the Resolute and I have been in jail for three months after Jango's death and 'working off' my sentencing by being enlisted in the Republic army."
"Oh my god, Kira!" Mika exclaimed.
"That's not all," I said. "I'm pregnant."
Mika held her head in disbelief. "How- What?"
"Can we talk about this later?" I asked. "I need your help to bring in Windu to Dooku."
She nodded. "Where are you? I'll meet you somewhere."
"Actually I had a different plan," I said. "I'm just outside of Kamino's orbit I need you to get here as soon as possible and pick me up. I'm going to crash the ship into the seas to make it look like we were attacked."
"I'll be there soon."
I nodded. "I owe you one."
