Reveiw Response:
Whiskers10: Thanks!
Nerwen Aldarion: Thanks for the compliments! Glad your still sticking by the story! I've been planning on doing a Kyle centered fic but I havent had any brainwaves yet! One fic I am thinking of writing is the original trilogy but if things had gone differently, like Obi-Wan kept Luke and stuff, my best idea on that one is having kyle as a dark jedi trained by Vader/Palpatine! Thoughts or suggestions?

Hyperspace

"Something is wrong." Kyle announced shortly before entering hyperspace.

Cara looked at Kyle, who was leaning back in his chair with his boots kicked off and his feet up by the controls.

"I don't sense anything." She said, silently adding that he didn't look like someone suspecting something wrong.

"Yeah, but Luke hasn't contacted us about a disturbance in the Force, or to say-" Kyle was cut off by the incoming communication from the Jade Saber.

"May the Force be with you." Luke said.

"I spoke too soon." Kyle muttered and shook his head.

"I can hear you Kyle." Luke said suddenly.

"What!" Kyle exclaimed sitting up suddenly. "How did you-? MARA JADE! What did you do?"

Neither Jan or Cara could hide their laughter. Both had seen Mara stash the com-link on board the ship earlier.

"Your all against me!" Kyle announced.

Cara turned her attention away from the teasing to glance out the window at the lines of light that where the galaxy. She always thought too much in space, Joran once said it was because space showed you how insignificant you really are.

Up until agreeing to work with Kyle and Jan she had only ever left Nuwai to attack the Sith or meet with the Council on Coruscant. Despite what many thought, neither ranked as her favourite things to do. But the Sith had to be stopped and the Council had to be spoken to, so she would continue to venture into space and therefore continue to think too much.

Unlike the other times she spent in space this time she didn't think on her past or heritage. This time her thoughts lay on the decision of the Council to push her back into the role of a Padawan.

She guiltily accepted the fact that she had always revealed a lust for battle while fighting the Sith. If she was honest it was that same battle lust that had begun to push Joran away.

She glanced over to Kyle and Jan. And smiled slightly.

As Jan had told Cara before they had even left Nuwai, she and Kyle held a tradition of completely relaxing while in journeys towards possible death. Hence the fact both of them had kicked off their boots. Kyle had even discarded his utility belt along with his lightsaber and supplies, leaving them safely out of the way. Cara looked to herself. Her utility belt with both sabers was still there, ready for an attack that she should know would not come. Her boots were still firmly on her feet.

The first excuse that came to mind was that the boots hid something, prevented it from coming to the surface. Her thoughts then jumped to her talk with Mara.

Jan's laughter got even louder as Kyle started off on a stream of insults in many different languages. Luke's laughter could also be heard.

"Maybe some things should come to the surface." Cara thought.

Slowly she pulled her boots off her feet and, taking a deep breath, pulled away her socks.

Easily noticeable against her pale skin were the four black dots. Lined up in order from largest to smallest. The Sith marking identified her as Enragion's descendant.

She looked up and met Kyle's glance.

"Small steps kid. Nice going." He said to her gently.

Quickly his attention turned back to Mara's taunting.

Cara sighed in relief and leant back on her chair to rest.

Maybe she would never win the fight against herself. But now she didn't have to fight alone.

Not anymore.

Cara was meditating with Kyle. He was trying to help her find a stronger focus and it seemed to be working.

At that moment Cara could sense the whole ship working, Jan was at the controls and Kyle was calm.

After awhile Kyle stopped speaking to her and just let her concentrate. After a few minutes Cara felt Kyle's mind shift.

"Kyle?" Cara asked as she opened her eyes.

"Hmm?" Kyle muttered. "Sorry Cara, I guess I got distracted this time."

"I've been meaning to ask you something Kyle…" Cara said carefully.

"Yeah?" Kyle answered in the same tone.

"Luke said you where refusing to take on Padawans. Why?" Cara asked.

"It's not important." Kyle muttered.

"In that case how come you're always thinking about it?" Cara pressed.

"Well…if you must know, and I'll tell you only because you're my student, my last Padawan died." Kyle said.

"I'm sorry…"Cara began.

"No, it's probably good for me to 'get over it' as Mara would say." Kyle sighed. "I was taking my Padawan to train on Tatooine, along with two other Jedi with their Padawans and three young Jedi Knight. You would think we would be safe! Anyway we were attacked. The ship was damaged. When we stopped on barren rock planet to make some repairs we were attacked by the Remnant and a small group of Sith. My Padawan was killed protecting me. I was the only one who got out, which doesn't look good when concerning someone who spent sometime away from the Order due to Dark Side experiences…"

"How come I'd never heard about it?" Cara asked quietly.

"Luke wanted to keep it quiet for my sake." Kyle shrugged. "Anyway, your own focus was sloppy so we'll try the exercise again."

Cara let the topic slip.

The rest of the two-week trip was spent going through various Force related activities. Cara felt that under the tutelage of Kyle, Luke and Mara she had vastly improved over the short period of time. Jan often found excuses to get Cara to man the weapons and practise firing at pieces of debris, declaring that Jedi powers or not there was always a use for some skill with a gun.

By the end of the final week Cara was wondering why she had never learnt as much while stuck in the Academies.
