Clubbin' (Open)

"Let's hope so."

"I'm sure I will." Kassie said, trying to push the negative thoughts aside.

When they reached the front, they walked outside into the night air and Yurza sighed. He hated being cooped up, but he was supposed to be more social on this mission. He let go of Kassie for a minute. "Hold on a second I'm going to get a air taxi, unless you'd rather walk."

"Well if it's pretty far, then an air taxi would be nice. But if it isn't too far, then we can walk." Kassie said, letting go of his arm.

Yurza nodded and went over to call an air taxi. A few moments later he came back over to Kassie, holding his arm out again. "Your carriage awaits m'lady."

Kassie smiled as Yurza called the airtaxi to come and pick them up. She gently slipped her arm around his. "Thankyou."

"No problem at all," he said as he held open the door for Kassie. Once he himself got into the taxi he gave directions to the driver.

"So how did you get into slicing anyways?"

Kassie gently hopped into the taxi and waited until Yurza slipped in to sit beside her.

She paused, "That was completely by accident to be honest." She laughed lightly. "I was nine and this guy came by to fix my dad's computer. He happened to leave one of his program disks behind and well..." She managed a smile. "I was curious... so I played with the software and figured out how to use it."

"So it came naturally? Maybe one day you can teach me prehaps."

Kassie shrugged. "It seemed to when I first got into it. But I suppose the younger ones soak up the knowledge like little sponges."

She managed a small smile. "Yeah, maybe..." She trailed off. "But then you wouldn't be paying me to help you and I wouldn't be making a little extra money."

"But I could pay for you to teach me. Besides, a wise person never teaches another everything."

Kassie raised an eyebrow, biting her lip. She was unsure of what he had just said. She knew that the wise ones never taught others their skills if they wanted to make a living. But she didn't need to teach him everything, that was true.

She laughed lightly. "That is true. Well if you want to learn, I suppose I could teach you...."

"Excellent," Yurza said as the taxi stopped in front of the reastraunt. It was a quaint little oreintal place from the looks of it, but it served some of the best food if one was willing to pay the price.

He stepped out and walked around the vehicle and opened Kassie's door. "After you please."

Kassie saw the place, and was immediately drawn to it. It seemed a quaint, interesting, and yet expensive place. She stepped out of the airtaxi lightly and smiled at Yurza. "Thankyou."

((assie? Thanks. ^^ :p lol ))

He walked her to the door and asked for a table for two. When they walked in they had to remove their footwear, for tradition.

They were then seated at a small table rising only a few feet off the ground. They had to kneel on soft cushions to sit. "Ahhh...now this is more my style."


OOC: oops....sorry about that!

Kassie walked in with Yurza, surprised when she had to remove her footwear. She easily undid her shiny black boots without a fuss and followed Yurza over to a table for two.

She knelt down on the cushion near Yurza and managed a smile as she made herself comfortable. "Well I must say... this is interesting. My first time eating like this."

((lol, it's ok.))

"Yes, many people seem to enjoy it, but don't take the time from their busy schedules to relax to enjoy the expeince to its fullest," Yurza said with a sigh. "That has always been the most unfortunate thing about this planet. It is always on the move that many just don't take the time out to relax."

Kassie nodded. "I know what you mean. People are always on the go, never letting themselves have a little time just to relax and enjoy themselves and the leisures that have been put infront of them."

"What about you? I hope that's not the case."

Kassie managed a grin. "I'm not one of those people. I'm more of one who... sometimes has too much time but hardly any friends to spend it with. I mean, I do have friends, but they're always stressed out with their jobs to really hang out and have fun with."

"Somehow that doesn't strike me as you. I just can't really imagine you having nothing to do," Yurza said as a chef came over to them, wanting to know if they were ready to order.

Kassie shrugged. With a rich beurocratic father, she could have whatever she wanted... but after a while, with no one else having the same things as she did... it... well it got really lonely sometimes.

Sure.. she had girls with the same kind of parents but... they didn't really know how to have fun. They were really snooty.

"Well, it happens sometimes." She managed a small smile as the chef came over to their table.

She nodded, asking for a mineral water and she pointed to something on the menu, not quite managing to wrap her tongue to form the word properly.

The chef nodded and looked over at Yurza.

"Um....red wine, a glass of water, and the bantha sukai," he said giving the person the menue back.

Keira Sparrow opened the door quietly. She went over to the till and awaited her take out food to be delivered.

She was out of eyeshot from Kassie, since Kassie's back was facing her, but Yurza might have been able to spot her.

As Yurza continued on his conversation he casually glanced up and noticed Keira. Hmm...she looks familiar, he thought as his eyes turned back to Kassie and he continued talking.

Then it hit him and he glanced slowly from Kassie to Keira. "Wait a second...that girl looks just like you..."

Kassie was listening to him speak when the topic of conversation suddenly changed. She frowned slightly to herself, and turned to gaze over her right shoulder.

Her eyes widened and she frowned once more. She had to be dreaming... That was her. She didn't just look like her... She was her. Exactly.

T-that is me... She thought to herself. But why... why... and how? She was herself, and yet... She frowned, trying to go back through her memories, wondering if someone may have cloned her DNA in the past. But she came up with nothing.

"She's... identical to me..." Kassie murmered quietly as she watched her for a moment. Of course the quiet manners weren't, and the clothes weren't... but physically, she was exactly the same. She bit her lip, continuing to think about how that would be possible.

"Do you have a twin or something?" He asked curiously.

Kassie swallowed, looking a little worried, with her brows in a slight arc that angled downwards. "I-I don't know... I don't think so..." She murmred. "I-I grew up as an only child..."

"Tha doesn't necessarily mean that you are an only child." Yurza pointed out.

Kassie nodded, continuing to frown slightly. "But surely... surely my father would have told me. I mean... I-I'm almost, well I'm like an adult now..."

"Who knows?" Yurza said as he looked from one twin to the other.

Kassie nodded. All I know is that I'm going to have a long.. 'chat' with my father about this. She thought, gazing back at Yurza. "Do you have any siblings?" She asked curiously.

Yurza grimaced.

"Yes...a brother...a Jedi," he said almost shamefully.

((Wrong account, I know))

Kassie bit her lip, putting on a concerned look of sympathy for Yurza. "Ooh... how'd that happen?"

"My father was a Jedi, but there is a little confusion over his death and we both heard different stories. The one I heard lead me down this path, and his lead him down there. But wince then we have both gone through muc to cement our beliefs."

Kassie nodded. "I see." She paused for a moemnt. "I suppose a family reunion might be a little awkard then..." She bit her lip, a small grin quirking at the corners of her lips.

-------

Keira received her take out and happened to turn and glance over at Yurza and Kassie. She froze, seeing Yurza facing her. She recognized him immediately. He was the man who had chased after her and threatened her in that turbolift ride to Upper Coruscant...

When she saw Kassie, her eyes widened wondering what the hell was going on. If she was crazy or if what she saw was real..

In that moment, Yurza knew where he recognized Kassie. He stood up slowly and pointed at Keira. "You! You're the one from the turbo lift!"

Kassie raised an eyebrow as Yurza got up and spoke outloud to Keira. "You know each other?" She asked a little cautiously.

Keira shook her head and as fast as she could, tried to make her way through the tourist group that had just arrived for dinner towards the door.

Yurza held up his hand, and an invisible force grabbed Keira and slowly brought her over to him. "Oh yes..we know each other perfectly. She's the one that gave me a nice little run around Coruscant."

Keira felt something grip her tightly, just as her hand reached the doorhandle. She felt herself being steered, just floating an inch or so off the ground towards where Yurza and Kassie were.

She tried to move, but felt herself stuck to the spot. She looked up at Yurza with a defiant expression hiding the fear that she felt. "W-what do you want? And..." She looked at Kassie. "Who are you?"

Kassie lowered her eyebrow. "And was that another mission...?" She asked Yurza.

"No exactly...I mistook her for someone else, but my Keira, it has been awhile. I thought you would contact me afte you the Jedi?" The word was almost spat out of his mouth.

"I-I..." Keira stammered, revealing her fear for a moment. She paused, thinking her thoughts out thoroughly. "I was thought the Jedi would have replied before I contacted you next... I-I guess not..." She shrugged sheepishly. She was mostly gazing at Kassie, who was strangely a mirror of herself. "W-who're you? Who made you?"

Kassie stood up to face her. "Excuse me? I am me, you are the clone. I was made by my biological mother and father. You were made by a test tube."

Keira frowned at her, forgetting about Yurza for a moment. "Thats really rude to accuse someone of you just met who happens to look exactly like yourself!" She felt a flare of anger and annoyance at what Kassie had said.

Yurza stepped back for a second it looked like fireworks were about to blow from these two. Are they really twins? Or is one really a clone?

"I may look like you, but I am nothing like you." Kassie said firmly.

"You're right, you're not. You're the type that would walk into the Upper Coruscant place like the Gap and buy everything off the rack because you have credits rolling out of your eyeballs." Keira gestured wildly with her arms, especially emphasizing on strutting around in designer clothes and having credits roll out her eyeballs.

"Now who's the rude one?! You look like some weird, demented, poor computer geek who finds table scraps by digging them out of bantha poodoo."

Keira glared at Kassie, her anger flaring up inside her, only held back because she held the dignity to keep it in.

"Ladies, ladies...there is no need to fight here." He said taking a small step forward

Keira glared at Yurza, while Kassie sighed, feeling twinges of annoyance tickle her insides. She looked away from Keira and over to Yurza. "Well how would you resolve it then?" She asked.

"First off..." Yurza motioned to an empty chair by them. "We all sit and talk civilized. Now if neither of you are a clone that only leaves two possible solutions. One, you two just look incredibily alike and there is no relation, or two you are twins and both of you have been lied too."

"Well I'm definately not a clone." Kassie said firmly. "I know who my father is, so that means she's the clone."

Keira scowled over at Kassie, mouthing 'I'm not' in her direction. She sighed. "Only a DNA test would reveal that, since I don't think my guardian would know the answer to that..."

"Didn't you have a mother or father?" Kassie asked, frowning at Keira.

"I did, of course. But my mother died and I never knew my father." She answered.

"Some father you had." Kassie smirked slightly.

Keira frowned at Kassie.

Yurza shook his head there was no way to end this by him. Even the Force had it's limits. He looked over at Kassie. "Where is your mother?"

Kassie shrugged. "I don't know... My father gets all upset whenever I try to mention her. The closest person I have to a mother was the lady who helped raise me from when I was little. Why do you ask?"

"Well think about it. You both look alike and neither of you can explain your mothers' disappearances...those are just to big of coincidences for me."

"Coincidences which probably mean nothing." Kassie stated, eyeing Keira, her eyes full of caution and slight distate at the mere thought of being related.

Keira caught her glance. "Well only DNA testing and talking to your father would possibly get the truth out."

"Well you can go ahead, but you'll never get past the lobby of his condo. He's a politician."

Keira sighed. "Well then I'd need your help wouldn't I?"

"I don't feel like offering it at the moment. Not to some clone who just happened to walk into my life."

"I'm not your clone..." Keira said in a low tone, irritation evident in her words.

"Kassie...do you know anyone who would want to clone you?"

Kassie bit her lip. "A few people tried kidnapping me when I was really little... but other than that... I don't think so."

"See, I'm not a clone." Keira said, in a more quiet tone.

"Doesn't prove anything..." Kassie muttered in a low tone to her look-a-like.

"Well then fine. We'll just ask your father. It shouldn't be that hard to get in to see him."

"He hardly even comes home... and when he does, he always brings his work home with him, so I barely get any time to talk with him." Kassie sighed, thinking about this fact. She wished her father wasn't working all the time. Then they could have made some memorable moments to cherish. But it was too late for that.

She shrugged. "We could try."

"Then it is settled. When do we leave?"

"Well... I'd like to find out soon, but..." Keira glanced at Yurza and Kassie. "You two looked a little preoccupied before I interrupted things, so whenever you're ready."

"Hmm, maybe we could get take out?" Kassie asked Yurza. "If we did we could head over there now. If you'd rather wait, then I don't mind staying."

"Take out is fine. To tell the truth this event has become almost more entertainment than I had hoped for."

Kassie smiled at Yurza. "Well, it seems we have some common train of thought then."

Keira glanced at Kassie, and seeing her attempt at flirting with Yurza, she rolled her eyes and sighed, feeling slightly impatient. She just wanted to get this over with...

Kassie stood and for the first time, she noticed that she seemed around the same height as Keira. She bit her lip, feeling a little tinge of eeriness.

Yurza stood up as well and went to the bar, leaving the two women two discuss among themselves for a few moments. He returned with two bags full of food and two cups.

"Ok..here is the food, an your drink," he aid handing over oneof the cups to Kassie.

"Thankyou." Kassie smiled, taking her drink and sipping it.

"I guess we should get going then." Keira said.

"Yes, yes, don't be so impatient." Kassie said. "Such a fun sucker." She gave Keira a funny smile.

Keira rolled her eyes, breathing out a deep breath, and a sigh to go with it.

Keira went first, then Kassie moved towards the door at a more leisurely pace.

As Keira opened the door for Kassie and Yurza she spoke, "Where is your condo anyway?"

"It's a little higher in Upper Coruscant. It's close to the Senate building." Kassie answered.

"That's not too far from here." Keira said thoughtfully, beginning to walk down the street.

Kassie stared incredulously after her. "What? What are you talking about?"

"It'd be a nice walk." Keira shrugged.

"Yeah... if you were some street beggar who couldn't afford..." Kassie suddenly shut her mouth realizing what she was saying. "Well wouldn't you feel better if we took a taxi?"

Keira shrugged. "It's your house. Maybe get Yurza to decide." She glanced over at the young Sith.

"Well...you two are more than entertaining, but I fear that my curiosity has gotten the better of me." He raised his hand and a nearby taxi door swung open. "After you two."

Keira frowned at Yurza slightly.

Kassie smiled at Yurza and entered the taxi. She sat down in the far backseat and began giving directions to the taxi driver, who then nodded.

Keira reluctantly followed Kassie and sat down next to her in the middle seat.

The taxi driver named a figure and Kassie nodded. "That's not a problem."

Yurza settled himself into the seat and smiled -Censored- the taxi took off. He knew he was annoying Keira but it didn't matter to him. After she ignored getting in touch with him, it wassn't the worst he could do. Plus he enjoyed causing the discomfort to a selet few.

Keira happened to glance over at Yurza as the taxi took off and saw him smile slightly. She bit her lip, wondering what the smile was for. But it wasn't her business. She was lucky to be alive and well after ignoring a Sith..

It took a few minutes of flying through the busy districts of Coruscant and after receiving a clearance, the taxi landed at the bottom of the tall condominium complex.

Kassie and Keira stepped out. "It's the second highest floor." Kassie informed them.

She commed her father's condo and the butler on the floor answered. "Ah, yes Miss Strorm." He cleared the turbolift to land on the floor and Kassie thanked him.

She entered the luxurious turbolift with Keira. And Keira couldn't help but notice that even the turbolift was of high class... The walls were trimmed with gold, and mirrors surrounded them. The floor was carpeted with some of the most expensive carpeting that could be found.

It reached the second highest floor and Keira noticed that the hallways were the same as the turbolift. The floor was carpeted with a dark red, of the same quality as the carpet in the turbolift.

She went over to their condo door and unlocked it with her retinal scan. "It's only the butler home so we won't have any trouble from my father."

Yurza glanced around and tried not to look to impressed, but it had not to. Even for all his ransackings he very seldom came across anything like this.

"It's ok," he said as the door opened, allowing them in the condo.

As they entered, they saw the entrance hall, everything was trimmed with some gold, and the walls were a light blue, making everything look slightly majestic. The Entrance Hall had a large walk in, rotating closet and shoe rack and a comfortable leather couch for those who preferred sitting when putting on their shoes.

The butler immediately greeted them. "Hello, I am Rodolfo, the Strorm's butler. May I take your coats or get you any refreshments?"

Keira glanced at the butler, bit her lip hesitating. They she slipped off her foresty green jacket and handed it to him. "This is all. Thanks." She mumbled.

Kassie took her jacket off, revealing a petite looking top and handed it to him.

Yurza undid a small clasp on his cloak and swirled it around to hand it to the servant. He walked farther into the Entrance hall stunned. So people really do live like this...impressive.

Rodolfo, with his arms laiden with coats went to the closet and began hanging them up neatly.

Keira wandered down the hallway, looking at various art and paintings on the walls and some sculptures on pedastals and other interesting things that were present, trying to liven up the place.

She saw Yurza's in awe look and nodded to herself. This was impressive. Although, she'd never outwardly admit it to Kassie.

Kassie smiled slightly at them. "While we wait for my father to come home you can grab a drink out of the fridge if you'd like. Or get Rodolfo to get it for you."

She turned to Yurza. "Do you want to start that computer hacking while we wait?"

Keira raised an eyebrow, surprised that Kassie said she knew anything about computer hacking. "You do slicing too?"

Kassie nodded. "It's one of my hobbies when I have nothing to do."

"R-really? Me too..." Keira muttered, shaking her head, wondering if it was a very strange coincidence or not...

"Anything else you ladies share?" urza asked, with his cuirosity starting to get the better of him.

"Definately not my sense of fashion..." Kassie stated flatly.

Keira rolled her eyes, trying not to be offended. "Well for your information, I don't have a father who brings home a billion credit pay cheques every once in a while."

"Neither do I." Kassie said in a low heated tone.

"Yeah, right." Keira sighed. "Oh, I guess we share that weird argumentitive chemistry and our looks, but I think that's it."

Yurza couldn't help but grin. He could feel the tension in the room about to explode any moment. He was god having a connection through the Force. He turned to Kassie.

"So where's you father?"

Broken away from the argument by Yurza's question Kassie checked her dainty wrist chrono meter. "He should be home any minute."

As soon as those words had left her mouth, the door to the Entance Hall opened and Senator Strorm entered.

"Hey... there's my little girl." He grinned at Kassie.

Then, seeing she had friends he looked to Keira and Yurza.

"Oh, this is Yurza, and this is Keira. They just came by here to um... settle out somethings." Kassie paused, looking at her father's expression. "Um... dad...?"

Senator Strorm was staring at Keira though, with a thoughtful and bewiledered expression apon his face. He looked from one girl to the other, and then back again.

Seeing this, Keira stepped forward. "Um... that's one of the reasons we came here. Me and Kassie wanted to ask you something."

"W-wait a minute... so you're like... twins or... clones?" The Senator asked, still bewildered.

Keira bit her lip. "You... don't know?"

Kassie shook her head. "I think he does... he's just not telling us. Dad, I'd like to know."

"First of all... I-I'm not your dad. I'm just your godfather."

Keira and Kassie stared, both wanting him to go on, their former arguments and differences forgotten.

"Well...this sure has turned into one exciting night," Yurza said as he jumped on a couch to watch this new scene unfold before him.

Senator Strorm was about to start explaining, when he frowned, seeing Yurza watch him intently. "Where... Where did you meet him?" He turned to Kassie.

"Oh, he's a friend. I met him-"

"Let me guess. You met him clubbing?"

Kassie smiled. "Oh dad, you're catchin' on." She winked, causing her God father to frown.

"That's the thing Kassie. I-I'm not your father. Like I said, I'm your God father."

Kassie's smile disappared, to be replaced by a neutral, almost thoughtful expression.

"It's time I told you the truth, you're right. You have the right to know. Back when I was less experienced in politics, I-I met this girl. Her name was Kyla and I immediately fell in love with her. She was strong willed, beautiful and intelligent..." He sighed. "But she was also a Jedi. And she was a Padawan. She had been found at a later age... And a relationship would only complicate things. So I had to let her go..."

He swallowed. "Two years or so later, I find a bundle of clothing on my doorstep. Carrying you in it." Tears formed in the Senator's eyes. "I had never been so touched in my life. I knew that once I had let her go, I had let "The One" go. But you... you gave me hope. She left a note, telling me that I was the God Father and I-I've never heard from her since."

Kassie bit her lip. "Did she say anything about a clone or um... a twin?"

Senator Strorm sighed. "Not that I recall..."

Keira looked down, really wondering where she had come from. Was she a clone...?

"Well...there just seems to be more holes in your story than anything," Yurza said as he leaned back on the couch. "Prehaps I could be of some use after all."

Kassie turned to Yurza quickly. "Really?"

Please help, just get this over with... Keira thought to herself. She still felt a little uneasy around Yurza. And Kassie made her feel uncomfortable materialistically so.

"I might know a few Force tricks that could help, but they could also be dangerous, since they are used to probe the deepest parts of the mind."

Kassie's gaze became uncertain and she bit her lip nervously. "Well um... maybe we shouldn't do that then..."

Keira ignored her and stepped forward. "I'll volunteer." She said. She didn't know why she was being so open towards this guy, especially since he had once tried to kill her... But she had to know. She had to know.

Yurza nodded satisfied. He got up from the couch and walked over to Keira, placing his splayed fingertips over her forehead. "Now just relax and let your mind drift. I'll do the rest."

As Yurza walked closer to her, Keira felt the instinctive urge to pull away. But she forced herself to stand still. As he splayed his fingers out against her forehead, her eyes followed.

Her heart beat quickened as she began to become nervous. She was trying to relax... but she was slightly afraid. Afraid of what he might do if he had the chance to kill her again...

She closed her eyes and she forced herself to relax. She gently breathed out, letting out her nervousness with each time she exhaled.

Once she was relaxed, she let her mind drift, thinking of various really unimportant things.

Yurza reached into her mind as he had others. Her's was much simpler than the other's he had delved into. He searched around, reaching back into the deepest of her memories. "Now relax and try and concentrate on your birth."

Keira frowned a little from behind closed eyes. It was a strange, tingling sensation in her mind being probed...

She didn't know what she looked like as a baby, so instead of trying to figure out something that she didn't remember, she thought of seeing herself as a baby.

"Aren't you a cute little kid?" The voice was heard, and Keira recognized it immediately. It was Yarin, the Besalisk whos doorstep she had been placed apon.

With a click of his tongue, he smiled a wide smile and gently tickled the baby girl with his fingers. She cooed and laughed, moving her arms about in delight.

Keira frowned a little more, trying to concentrate harder...

That was all he needed. Now Yurza could go back in her memory from that point without sifting through everything else. He made it back two weeks and suddenly he found himself in some kind of room, being passed aroud to different people. First there was what appeared to be a doctor, then a man, and finally some woman, who held him as one would a child. A fewminutes later a baby was laid down across from him.

What the....ohhh...of course! I am seeing this all through Kira's eyes...so they are twins after all he thought to himself as he slowly retracted his mind from hers so as not to cause any damage.

Keira watched the images shift and change as Yurza went further back in her past memories to some of her very first ones she had experienced as a newborn.

She frowned, not believing what she was seeing. There she was, being passed around to numerous people who cooed and cuddled her and then there she was again, laying peacefully in another crib. She wasn't a clone... She was a twin.

As the young Sith drew forth from her mind, she opened her eyes, trying to just comprehend what she had seen. She bit her lip, looking thoughtfully at the floor.

Kassie eyed Keira, "Well? What happened?"

Keira didn't reply. She was thinking too deeply.

Kassie turned her inquiring gaze, along with her "father" to Yurza.

Yurza took a deep breath and wiped at the thin sheet orf prespiration that had formed on his forehead. He still wasn't good enough to do this without some strain.

He then looked up to find everyone but Keira's eyes on him. He spoke one word, softly and almost inaudibly. "Twins."

The Senator frowned slightly.

But Kassie's expression looked like it was between one of horror and laughing. "What? N-no. No, no, no, no... She is nothing like me. I mean look at her... She dresses like a peasant or pilgrim..."

She gazed at Keira.

"Well I'm sorry for not living in such a comfortable lifestyle as you." Keira shot back.

The Senator stepped between them. "Kassie, stop this. Now... your fashion sense has no thing to do with this. You..." He sighed. "You both look very much like your mother..."

"So um... what do we do now?" Kassie asked, a little awkwardly.

"Well I know where I'm going. And it's far enough away from here." She began walking towards the door.

"Keira wait!"

I can't believe I have such a snob for a sister! Keira thought as she grabbed her coat and hurried past Rodolfo on the way out. Maybe I am a clone. Maybe Yurza was wrong...

She wished that it would be true. She had nothing in common with Kassie who seemed so Upperclass and snobbish. But in the back of her mind, she knew the truth. They were twins.

She tried to push the thought back into her mind as she made her way to the turbolift.

Yurza sat back on the couch. Still trying to coming down off the high that he always got on when he did this. "Let her go. I know where to find her should you have questions. She and you are probably having one major mind job done on you tonight. She needs to reorient herself, as you do to. If you have any questions I suggest you ask 'dad' here/ He seems to know more than either of you do, but then I guess I do to now."

Keira knew that she seemed a little childish, running away like this, but she had to. She needed time to gather her thoughts and try to rearrange everything.

She knew a place where she could forget it... The Jedi Temple.

She exited the condo complex and took an airtaxi to the glorius spires of the Jedi Temple.

-----

Kassie bit her tongue, trying to get her mind to start reorientating itself to fit around this new knowledge.

"How do you know where she'll be?" The Senator asked the young Sith.

"Did you just miss the last fifteen minutes there? I was inside of her mind. I know every place she could go and be safe."

"I thought that you were looking for her past..." Kassie stated, frowning. "You didn't have the right to do that." She said firmly.

The Senator eyed his step-daughter, wondering why she suddenly felt the need to defend her twin who she so desperately wanted to be away from.

"You think I wanted to look through all her thoughts? If I look into someone's mind then I will carry a part of that person forever. When she opened her mind to me, I had access to everything, but I didn't know what I was looking for so I had to open some thoughts to try and get a feel for what I was doing."

Kassie's face flushed, and she felt tinges of pink form as she felt embarassed at seeming so stupid. "Oh... Sorry..." She looked downwards and clasped her hands together.

After a moment, she looked up at Yurza. "So are we going to follow her?" She asked, the tinges of pink slowly fading.

"That is up to you? I have more important things to worry about. Such as how I am going to explain this to my master."

Kassie nodded and sighed softly.

The Senator stepped forward and smiled appreciatively at the young Sith. "Thankyou. You've explained enough to keep Kassie's restless thoughts at peace."

"I wouldn't count on it. In fact if she is anythng in the way of a normal person, I've only just planted the seed of curiousity. That however will be your problem. She can come to me all she wants for a lot of answers, but it will be you she asks and begs first.

Then again, I could be wrong and perhaps I did ease her thoughts. Though only time will truely tell."

Kassie nodded, sighing. Her Godfather glanced at her, anxious to see if she had any questions she might want to ask before Yurza left.

She shook her head slowly, showing she had no more questions. "How can I contact you?" She asked the Sith Apprentice. She would need his contacting number so she could contact him with questions as they rose in her mind.

Yurza took a small slip of paper from his pocket it held his personal comm number on it. "You have any questions, I can be reached there."

"Thankyou Yurza." Kassie took the card. Gazing at it for a moment with bluey-green eyes, she looked up at him once more.

"If there's anything I can do to thank you, then please let me know." The senator said.

Kassie bit her inner lip. It was hard hearing her God father talk like this. She wasn't used to hearing this, especially towards people that he usually wouldn't get along with (namely the Sith or "opposition" as he called them and the rest of the beings that opposed him.

"If you ever want to go clubbing again, you'll know where to find me." She flashed him a smile.
