The Dark Side of Kanan (star wars rebels fan fiction) mini story

Father Daughter bonding time

Kanan said that he wanted some time to get to know me more since he left me with Gwen, a old friend of his, and her husband. He wanted to take me somewhere special and that we would be leaving tomorrow. I can hardly wait just me and him no one else. With my mom dead I had no one else but Kanan. Sure the crew of the Ghost was like family but your really family connects with you on a deeper level then 'we saved you and now we're family' Kanan was all I had. But that was okay he was enough he was perfect. If I lost Kanan I didn't know what I would do. Kanan told me that he planned on bringing me here for my birthday but he was taken by the Empire and then I went to save him.

I sit in our room meditating. Kanan walks in and put his hand on my shoulder bringing me back from meditation. when I open my eyes I see is him and smile. There's no point in asking him once again where we're going because he refused to tell me once again. I had already asked about fifteen times already.

" Bed time get up into bed we need to be ready for tomorrow so we're going to bed early so we can get there in time." he says and I smile. I want to ask him but I'm sure he's tired of me asking.

I climb into my bed and hang upside down as he lays down in his I can't help myself. " please tell me where we're going I want to know!" I begged him as my hair falls into my face.

Kanan gently sweeps the hair out of my face and hold it to the side a bright smile on his face as he shakes with laughter. " for the last time No. I'm not going to tell you you won't find out till we get there." Kanan says and I sigh dramatically.

" why won't you tell me?!" I say as I sigh it sounds like a wine and it makes me and Kanan laugh. He starts to get up putting his hand under my head and shoving me up. He pushes me back on my bunk and crosses his arms laying them on the bed and putting his chin on his arm. I lay down and look at him.

" when I look at you I see your mother. bright, beautiful, smart, skilled, in some ways disciplined, and caring." He says and I smile. "But you still drive me crazy." He says laughing loudly his smile wider.

"Hey!" I yell shoving him off of my bunk. He laughs and I start to laugh too. Suddenly I feel hands around me and he pulls me out of my bunk and tickles me laying me on the ground. I start to call out for help and hear footsteps and the door open and see Hera and Ezra looking at me on the floor crying, but laughing, and Kanan laughing kneeling next to me smiling tears in his eyes.

Kanan looks at me and something flashes in his eyes. Then I realize the way I'm laying is the exact way I was laying when the Inquisitor "killed" me. I quickly sit up and put a hand on Kanan's arm. He looks at me and nods his head. I smile and look at the others.

" he wouldn't stop tickling me I needed someone to distract him. He's a fierce warrior that no one can defeat." I say laughing at the joke. Hera smiled and Ezra shakes his head. They walk away and Kanan picks me up throwing me over his shoulder holding me by the legs. I squeal with laughter as he does but being hung upside down is not exactly my idea of fun and I start to grab him around the waist and squeeze.

I hold my eyes shut and squeeze Kanan tighter. " Kanan please put me down!" I say and he notices how shaking my voice is and how tightly and squeeze his waste. He pulls me up by the legs and finally I go over his shoulder and I sit on his bunk. I breathe in and out slowly trying to forget about the sensation of being upside down.

" are you okay?" he asks me and I nod my head. I then decide that I should be furious with him so I glare at him.

" you'll pay for that one." I say. Kanan starts to laugh. He picks me up and puts me in my bunk and I laugh as he does. Father daughter bonding time. Kanan could be amazingly open when he forgot about the Empire and the Inquisitor. He didn't know it but he had a great father instinct even when he wasn't trying to comfort me or Ezra or calm us after a nightmare or vision it was there it always was.

" all right now it's really time for bed close your eyes and go to sleep I'll see you in the morning." I was having so much fun I didn't notice how tired I was. I let my head fall down onto the pillow and I force my eyes to stay open.

"I don't want to go to sleep." I whine and then yawn. Kanan smirks and speaks again.

"Your yawning that means your tired." He says and I shake my head.

"No it doesn't. Yawning means" I yawn again. "Your brain needs more" I yawn again and my eyes start to close. "Oxygen." I whisper finally finishing my sentience.

"Go to sleep Lyra." He says as he shakes a little, laughing. He runs his fingers through my hair and I sigh. The last thing I hear is him whisper. "I love you."
