YAY!!!!
If they take away my stars again, I am going to get angry. And when I get angry, Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset. And when Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset, people DIE!!
(Or something like that).

LO SIENTO!
**********
Though the next day’s long walk was tedious, it proved to be of some worth. Before the sun was beginning to set, the three came across two warriors of Lihue, who were relieved to have found the trio. Obi-Wan spoke not to them, merely went with Koma to start a fire. Leikele sat with the men, telling them of what had happened. He could not speak to her with the guards watching so closely, so he resolved to simply find sleep as quickly as possible. He knew not how long the others remained awake, for before the moon was even high in the sky, he was asleep.
The next day, they continued back to Lihue. A great commotion arose in the village upon their arrival, Obi-Wan quickly being smothered by Koukalaka while Leikele and Koma were taken by their parents. He barely saw them as they were drug off, weariness filling him as he was led back to his hut.
Water and food was brought for him by several women, Obi-Wan murmuring his share of “Mahalo”s as he drank. They left as quickly as they came, taking the left over food with them and leaving Obi-Wan in solitude.
It was later that Peni and Koukalaka entered the hut, Obi-Wan bowing his head to the chief. Peni returned the bow. “Mahalo a Obi-Wan no loa’a ko’u keiki,” he said solemnly.
“Chief say “Thank you for finding his son,” Koukalaka translated for him.
Obi-Wan bowed once more. “Mahalo,” he answered back. Peni turned and left the hut, but Koukalaka remained. The smaller man sat down on the floor near Obi-Wan, eyeing him suspiciously. “Leikele told us of what happened. I come to ask if it is true.”
Obi-Wan froze momentarily. He had not taken a moment with Leikele to plan out what they were to tell the village. He instead swallowed a lump in his throat and asked, “What did she tell you?”
“Leikele say that large pack of pua’a attack. Kilika try to protect Koma and pua’a trample him to death. This be true?”
Obi-Wan nodded. “Yes, that is exactly what happened.”
Koukalaka looked wryly at Obi-Wan. “You lie worse than Leikele. She did not tell me that pua’a attacked Kilika.” He let out a sigh, then eyed Obi-Wan. “What happened?”
“Leikele did not wish for me to tell,” Obi-Wan admitted. “She said it would bring about bad things if we did.”
Koukalaka nodded. “Kilika was not a good man. He desired power too greatly.” He eyed the Jedi. “I know Kilika attacked Leikele. The despair that she created in her voice when speaking of him was too fake. I know that he was not killed by wild animals,” he added, turning fully to Obi-Wan. “What happened?”
Obi-Wan sighed, then looked out of his tent at the cool ocean. “Leikele and I had found Koma. We were on our way back when he found us. He attacked Leikele and Koma, and myself. He tried to kill me.” Obi-Wan looked at the translator, expecting to find anger, but seeing sympathy instead.
“Go on,” Koukalaka chided.
“He wrestled with me on a cliff edge. I could feel it crumbling, but he did not. We both fell, him grabbing my ankle as I hung on.” Obi-Wan lowered his head. “I kicked him, causing him to fall to his death.”
Koukalaka nodded. “If word of this reached Kapaa, a war would brew. Leikele knows this. That is why you must keep it a secret.” He caught Obi-Wan’s gaze, continuing, “Act as if you are crushed at the thought of losing a friend. Leikele must act the part of a widow. Mourn with his family; speak not of his evil doings.”
Obi-Wan despised the fact that he would have to be sad over the man’s death, yet nonetheless, he nodded.
~~~~~~~~~~
The village of Kapaa arrived several days after. At sunset, the guards blew mournful calls into their pu shells, a lone tone lingering in the air. Kilika’s parents, as well as Leikele, were dressed in black, walking out into the surf with floral displays in their hands.
Chief Peni began raising his arms to the sky and praying to Pele, the villages chanting after him. Leikele and the parents lowered the flowers into the water, watching as the tide went out. Many others threw in flowers as well, Peni’s chanting subsiding as Leikele began singing in a mournful tone.
Obi-Wan stood near Koukalaka, once more dressed as the villagers. He tried to keep his face remorseful, yet finding that when his thoughts drifted to Kilika, his visage was only one of anger. Instead, he thought about Anakin and Coruscant. How long had it been? He knew it had only been a few months at the most, yet it felt like a lifetime. Who was training Anakin now? He knew the boy was far too talented to let go to waste, and one of the council was sure to have taken up his training, but who?
He missed the boy terribly, pain residing in his heart as he realized how Anakin must have felt. Obi-Wan was the third parental figure that had been ripped from Anakin in so short of time. First his mother, then Qui-Gon... Did Anakin even think of his as a father?
As an older brother, that I can see, but... A father? Obi-Wan’s thoughts were interrupted as Kilika’s mother began wailing a mournful cry to the heavens, falling to her knees in the surf and sobbing.
Leikele stood nearby, her eyes lowered to the sea. Her face was perfectly masked in sadness, her brown eyes shining with tears. Obi-Wan wondered whom she was thinking about to create such a façade.
Once the ceremony was finished, the people of Kapaa slowly began making their way up the coast. Kilika’s mother embraced Leikele tightly, still crying. As she was drug off by her husband, Peni entered the waters and pulled Leikele close to him, turning her and herding her back toward their hut.
As she passed, she met Obi-Wan’s eye. Through her sadness, Obi-Wan detected the one thing she had yearned for most: freedom. He flashed a small smile, seeing her turn away and continue on with her father. Peni did not notice the communication between his daughter and the Haole, but ever watchful Koukalaka, who watched his niece go by, certainly did.

Kit, LOL, yes, I am, at least for a little while.
And not everyone shared her opinion of Kilika... Just Koukalaka and her cousin.

HOPEFULLY, I can get something done before I leave for Hawaii June 13 (WOO HOO!!). If not, I'm sure I'll come back FULL of ideas and bunnies.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!
That was the best trip I've ever had....
Oh man...
I actually STAYED in Lihu'e..... I went to Kapa'a.... I went to Poipu... I WENT to Waimea Canyon..... *dies*
All right, now that I've actually BEEN to Kaua'i, this story needs to be SERIOUSLY rewritten. For example:
#1. There is no freakin way you can walk from Lihu'e to Waimea THROUGH the mountains in 3 days. No way, no how. 
#2. Okay, so I'm mistaken. Poipu is the relaxed surfing town. Kapa'a actually means something like "Warriors" or whatnot, so they're the meanies. Figures.
#3. Swimming is a no no unless you want the currents in Lihu'e to take you out to Guam.
#4. Yeah, I'm still butchering the language.
#5. It never stops raining. NEVER.
#6. I want to go back.
I am on serious jet-lag right now, but I'm still on Hawaii time, so I'm wide awake, despite it being 1:20 am. But oh man, do I have writting fuel!!
