His Other Half
by Concetta


Jack sighed as he dropped to the ground in a state of exaustion. He had just finished a battle with another beetle droid army and, once again, lost his chance of going home. He glanced down at his kimono and saw that it had quite a few rips and slashes here and there. Jack gave another sigh and pulled out a needle and thread that he had purchased in a market place. He took off his kimono, (ow, ow! :) threaded the needle and began to quietly mend the damage.
As he bit off end of the last loose thread, his keen ears picked up a rustling in the bushes nearby. Jack's eyes quickly scanned his surroundings. Nothing. Suddenly out of the corner of his eye he saw something . . an arm . . reach out from a nearby bush. Jack stared at it as it reached for his sword that was lying next to the bush. The mysterious hand of the mysterious arm, grasped the weapon's handle and began to pull it back into the bush. Jack shook his stunned self back to attention and lunged forward, grabbing the wrist of the "would-be" theif. He jerked the "almost-culprit" out of it's hiding place.
Jack was startled to find that the intruder was a girl, a young woman in fact. She was dressed in a dark purple body suit (you know, the kind that you always see the spies wear, except this girl doesn't have any gadgets and she isn't a spy). Jack snatched the sword away from the girl.
"Who are you?" he demanded, and what are you doing with my sword?" The girl had been struggling, but soon gave up when she found that it was futile. She sighed and lowered her head.
"My name is Yoshiko Sakura. I was sent by Aku to steal your sword."
"Aku!" Jack exclaimed through gritted teeth. Jack, in his distraction loosened his grip. Yoshiko took advantage of this and bolted. As she ran she looked back to see if he was following her and saw nothing. When she turned around again she saw Jack jump from out of, what it seemed to her, nowhere and landed in front of her. She was so surprised that she stumbled and fell. Jack caught her, she certainly felt like a human. Jack looked into her eyes. They were wide with apprension. Thoughts raced through his mind.
"Could this be another one of Aku's tricks? Another Ikra? . ." He wasn't sure.
