OMG What is the Force doing!!!
Although I have my suspicions 
What is wrong with Obi and why is the force in
such a hurry for them to leave?
I hope they both turn up together!!! 
Great Post.

So he just disappeared...Or perhaps you just want us to think that... 
Great post.

Obi-Wan was dead, he reminded himself for the thousandth time. He would disappear in the Force once he had accomplished his task.
Burying his head in his hands, he sat there for a long time, grieving for the apprentice he would soon loose forever. You see, that's why I can't get over it! It's so sad!  Okay...I'll stop now. 
But what's this about both Obi's body and ghost going missing?  Where are they?!
Please post more as soon as you can!

Shocked for a moment, he quickly regained control. The body couldn’t have walked out itself, could it? So somebody took it, or the Force had clamed it. The second option seemed more realistic. He had heard of some ancient tales about Jedi dying and their corpses disappearing in the Force. This might be it. Since the Force had chosen Obi-Wan for an important task, maybe it had taken his body to spare Obi-Wan from seeing his own self in death, or maybe only to give him a chance to be honoured in the Force. Qui-Gon sincerely hoped this was it.
Still unsure, the Master decided to return to his apprentice. It would calm his agitated spirit. He went to the second small cabin and pushed it opened. And stopped dead in his tracks.
Obi-Wan wasn’t there either.
Okay, where is he?
Just remember, Qui-Gon. you could have avoided all this if you hadn't left him...
When you can, more please!

Good, not good, I don't know; it's 3am, I'm tired and I'm going to bed, so I post it, and if there is some corrections to make, I'll make them later
Bastet : There there... *gives a hug* Don't cry so much, there's more to come!
star: Read and you'll know
Chapter 8: The greatest power can’t be seen, only felt
Qui-Gon stood there, unable to move a muscle, unable to even think. Questions poured in his mind like a tidal wave.
Where is Obi-Wan?
Where did he go?
What happened?
Did the Force…?
“Master?” Asked a subtle voice behind him.
Qui-Gon almost jumped out of his skin. He turned around swiftly, a hand over his heart. There stood his apprentice, still shimmering in a light tone of blue, a quizzical look on his face.
“Master, where were you?” He shyly asked.
His Master hadn’t been there when he woke up. Even in his still fogged and sleepy thoughts, he had expected to see his Master by his side, worrying for him. Doubts floated in the young Padawan’s mind. Maybe Qui-Gon still felt awkward with him. Maybe it would take more time for his Master to accept fully his apprentice in his heart.
“Obi-Wan!” His Master said, relief evident in his voice.
“Hum, yes Master?”
“You’re here.”
The Master took him in a gentle, yet firm hug. He had really thought that Obi-Wan was gone. That the Force had taken him away before he could say good-bye. Force, what would he have done?
Obi-Wan sensed his Master’s joy and relieved emotions. It was a sweet reminder of Qui-Gon’s care for him. He smiled and spoke up in a muffled voice from his Master’s robe.
“I’m here”
“You frightened me” He whispered softly to his apprentice’s ear.
Obi-Wan let out a mocking but affectionate laugh.
“Gee Master, I didn’t know you were afraid of ghosts”
Qui-Gon loosened his grip on Obi-Wan to look him in the eyes, incredulous for a moment. Then a broad smile crept on his lips, his eyes twinkling.
“Brat” He said affectionately, ruffling the ethereal ginger hair.
After a few moments, Qui-Gon grew serious again and let go of his apprentice.
“Obi-Wan, your…body…has disappeared”
“Disappeared?”
“Yes” Qui-Gon toyed with his beard. “I believe that the Force took it”
Obi-Wan’s eyes grew wide. He had never heard of the Force doing that kind of thing.
“The Force?”
“Yes…Ancient legends say that some Jedi, some of the most wise and powerful, would have their body disappear in the Force not long after they died. It is said that the Force itself clamed their body.”
“I’ve never heard of those legends” Obi-Wan said, shaking his head. “Not even in Jedi History Class.”
Qui-Gon smiled.
“I do not think they teach it anymore. It was never confirmed that these tales were more than legends. But I believe them to be true. I’ve always felt something was true about them, even when Master Jaeld was teaching that class and told us not to attach too much attention on them. I always knew something about them would cross my path...”
Qui-Gon was deep in thoughts, remembering a part of his life far away in his memory. Obi-Wan was astonished of how quickly his Master could go in this kind of contemplative meditation, yet remain awake. He wished he could do that. His Master was so strong in the living Force, sometimes, the young Padawan wondered if he had achieved this or if the man was just naturally gifted. Either way, Obi-Wan admired him greatly.
“So you think” He said softly “that my body was really taken by the Force itself?”
“Yes, I do.”
Obi-Wan only nodded. The Force was indeed powerful. After all, he was still there because of the will of this greater power. He still wondered about why the Force had chosen him, but what was tugging on his mind right now, was the fact that he hadn’t felt a touch of Qui-Gon’s mind through their bond since he had come back from the dead. He longed for it, but it seemed always closed. At first he had thought that it was his Master’s mind that hadn’t been ready for it, but from the love he perceived from the Force flowing from Qui-Gon, he doubted that it was the only answer.
“Master?”
“Hmm?”
“Do…do you feel the bond?”
A blink.
Qui-Gon had tried to touch the bond when Obi-Wan had been distressed by the cry of the voices through the Force, but he hadn’t thought about it since. The bond had been closed, and he had thought that it was Obi-Wan’s shields.
“You don’t feel it?” He asked gently.
“I feel it, but it is as if you block me”
Qui-Gon frowned.
“I do not block you. In fact, I feel as if you are blocking me”
It’s was Obi-Wan’s turn to frown. He didn’t understand. He wasn’t shielding it, and neither was Qui-Gon. What was blocking it then?
“Obi-Wan” The older man said “I will try to find the cause.”
Obi-Wan nodded, and sensed Qui-Gon’s hands settle on each side of his shimmering face, facilitating mental contact. He closed his eyes, letting his mind rest and go empty. He sensed Qui-Gon gather the Force around him and his mind slip in a state of deep concentration. He let them slide to a state of semi-consciousness so they could see the inside of their minds. Again, it amazed Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon was indeed a very skilled Master.
Qui-Gon felt the barrier. It was like an immense shield, raised between their two minds. He saw that it was tightly held in place. He tried to push against it, but absolutely nothing happened. He searched a weakness, but found none. It seemed impossible to break.
After a moment, he saw a small spot were the shield seemed thinner. It was strong enough and a small push wouldn’t do anything, but the Master had another idea. He gathered the Force, concentrated it in a small, compact wave and directed it in the center of it.
What happened was totally unexpected. The great wall crashed down completely, leaving the bond as wide opened as it never was. Their souls connected, literally melting together. The thoughts of one became theirs, the feelings were not distinguished, neither were the minds. They fused completely together.
//Obi-Wan?//
//Master//
Joy flooded. Awe. Concern. Love.
//Are you alright? I didn’t mean…//
//I’m okay Master. It’s amazing.//
Qui-Gon didn’t reply, partly because he didn’t have to. Obi-Wan could sense that he agreed. He stretched out for the Force.
//Obi-Wan, we need to put a minimum of shields. We cannot remain as one being.//
Obi-Wan nodded. Slowly, they began raising a small barrier between their minds, untangling them carefully. They left a small channel unblocked so the bond would remain open.
Reaching for their conscious state, they found themselves panting, drained from the effort, their eyes still closed. The Master’s forehead lay heavily against the boy’s shimmering one.
//Padawan?// Qui-Gon asked hesitantly.
//Master.//
Obi-Wan was overjoyed. He could communicate though the bond again!
//Master, you did it!//
//No… The Force did.//
TBC
I decided to end on something else than a cliffie for once
Next chapter: Arrival on Coruscant!

Wow, I really loved that update. I'm so glad Obi hadn't dissapeared for good, I was worried.
I really loved that description of how they became one being once they broke down that shield over the bond. It was so beautiful! *sniff*
And I'm so glad they got the bond open again, yay! Those two so need each other, don't they?
I can't wait to find out what happens when they get back to Coruscant. What will the Council think of Qui having a ghost as an apprentice? And I just thought, how will Obi's friends react when they found out he's a ghost?
More soon?

Ditto like every one else said 'lovely post'
“I’m here”
“You frightened me” He whispered softly to his apprentice’s ear.
Obi-Wan let out a mocking but affectionate laugh.
“Gee Master, I didn’t know you were afraid of ghosts”
Obi still has a sense of humour
But it is a Cliffi of sorts.
