* Impossible Realities*
Vergere stared at the Shamed One in shock. Though she was burning with pain, still lying on her back, the bird creature retorted. "You are the sister of Feng domain Shui?"
CaRày glanced at her for a second before walking to the other side of the room to retrieve the rough sponge pillow from her sleeping pallet.
"Yes." Dropping to her knees she answered her.
"Do you honestly believe that the Higher Element has found a way to destroy the bond between creatures and the Force?"
She did not answer right away, but sadly replied. "I do."
Silence stole the moments between them.
"Can I trust you to keep what I am about to tell you secret, Vergere? Will you help us?" CaRày questioned, trying to change the subject.
The creature nodded. "Where else do I have to go? The very beings who created me now poke and prod me so horribly."
The Yuuzhan Vong nodded in agreement. "Even so. The truth of the word is a powerful bond."
"You have my aid."
"Then you must know, that I hold the same power you possess."
Vergere frowned. "I do not believe you. No Yuuzhan Vong can possess the Force. It has been proven."
"Then it has just been disproved." Without another word, her eyes closes and she outstretched her smooth hand onto Vergere's broken arm. A warmth began to flood through her. First it was a light touch as soft as a feather, then it increased burning like a wildfire of heat. The pain was immense but quickly subsided. The Shamed One opened her eyes.
Slowly, the creature lifted her arms slightly anticipating the horrible spiral of agony that had shot up her arm before, but felt nothing. She lifted her arm up further. Testing it, she twisted her wrist towards her, then back again.
"Son of a Sith… how…"
Before she could say anymore the valve door opened.

She knew he was there before he jumped out and grabbed her. The action sent her feelings haywire, but she did not want to miss it for the world. Kyp's little attempt at trying to surprise her made her smile.
When their lips finally lifted from each other's, Jaina whispered. "And I thought I was the one who was in debt."
Kyp grinned evilly. "You are."
Jaina giggled and felt herself being pulled into his quarters. Just as they were about to fall on the bed, she pulled away from him, looking into his eyes.
"What's the matter?" Kyp asked.
She did not need to answer, but gestured around them. His eyes glanced around then finally realized where they were. He turned back towards her. "What?"
Pressing her lips together she held out her left hand. "No ring."
He nodded, understanding the point. "I wouldn't go that far with you. We were just kissing."
"And even kissing gets out of hand… especially ours." Leaning closer towards him Jaina breathed into his ear. "I love you Kyp, but there are boundaries."
"I understand."
"Do you?"
He blinked at her. "What's this all about, Jaina?"
Jaina sighed and weaved her way out of his arms. Her face was expressionless. He felt not hint through the Force what she was think nor feeling. It shocked him she had been able to shield herself from him this well. Finally she looked up into his jaded eyes. "I'm just a little tired that's all."
Kyp grasped her hand. "I did not mean this to be pressuring."
"No, I know you did not mean to come in her with sex as your intent." She sighed again. "My mind is just a little muddled."
Lifting his hand up to her cheek, Kyp caressed it lightly. He almost retracted it away from her, but kept his cool fingers on her face.
"Jaina, you're burning up!" Worry flooded his voice.
Her eyelids already were beginning to flutter close. "I'm f-fine." But Jaina was anything but fine. She collapsed in his arms before she realized she slipped into darkness.
