	Title: Sorry (AKA Dare You To Care) Author: Alley_Skywalker Gener: Angst, Drama (mostly) Time Setting: Several months after TPM Characters: Anakin, Obi-Wan, Annaline(OC), Sith Summary: Ani's and Obi's relationship get's off to a bumpy start laving Anakin feeling unwanted and a burden to his new master. As a resolt Obi-Wan wakes up one morning to find his padawan missing... (Better then it sounds ) Chapter 1: Murky Thoughts “Again!” Obi-Wan Kenobi commanded throwing the training lightsaber back to his padawan-learner. Ten-year-old Anakin Skywalker caught the lightsaber and swiped his padawan braid out of his face in a jerky frustrated motion. They had been going at this for hours. He thought that he had it good enough but his master kept pushing him. “Anakin did you here me? I said do it again!” “Yes, Master” Anakin replied dully and started swinging the lightsaber in a complex pattern. He was exhausted and his concentration was withering by the second. ‘Maybe becoming a Jedi wasn’t such a great idea’ he thought bitterly as he lost his footing again and toppled to the matted floor. Anakin sat up groggily and looked up to find obi-Wan towering over him. “Padawan, do you mind concentrating?” “I’m trying!” Anakin protested. ”But I’m tired!” a whine started to creep into his tone. Obi-Wan squatted down next to him and looked into the boys eyes. “Alright fine” Kenobi finally concluded “go back to our quarters. We’re done for the night.” With a grateful look Anakin dragged himself up and sent the training lightsaber flying across the room and into a bin full of other lightsabers of its kind with the Force. Then proceeded to the door of the training room. “And don’t forget to take a shower!” Obi-Wan called after him. “Yes, Master” Anakin muttered automatically. Anakin returned to the rooms he shared with him master. He took a shower then put on some fresh cloths and went to the kitchen to get a snack. He was hu8ngry as well as tired. Anakin was relieved that Obi-Wan hadn’t come home yet. “he’d probably give me another one of his lectures” Anakin decided dully as he took a yogurt into the living room. Anakin plopped down on the couch and stared at the darkening sky. Murky thoughts swirled in the boys head. It had been more then half a year since he came to the Jedi temple. More then half a year since he had started training. At first things were ok. But the harder his training got the worse things got. It wasn’t the difficulty of the exercises or the rate at which he was pushed to move forward, he could take all that. It was Obi-Wan. At first when Obi-Wan was getting a bit pushy or something like that Anakin thought that maybe that was typical for Jedi masters. And when OBi-Wan would loose his temper at him he blamed it on Obi-Wan’s grief. He even tried to help. But Obi-Wan didn’t want his help. Obi-Wan always pushed him aside. Anakin shook hi head and reprimanded himself for those thoughts. Really it wasn’t obi-Wan’s fault. He didn’t ask to train him. He… Anakin shuddered slightly at the thought. Maybe Obi-wan was so impatient with him because he resented him. And he resented him because he was a troublesome charge that he was stuck with. ‘Yea’ Anakin thought sadly ‘Obi-Wan has reasons for not liking me. He never wanted me. Probably still doesn’t. I bet he agrees with the Jedi council. They never wanted to train me in the first place!’ Anakin sighed sadly. Suddenly he wanted to go home. To go see his mother. He was free now anyways. So maybe he could find a job and then free his mom and then they could fly away from that dreaded planet. “But I WANT to be a Jedi so BAD!” Anakin said thinking out loud. But he missed his mom so bab! ‘One day I WILL free her!’ Anakin felt tears welling up in his eyes. At the moment he felt miserable. “Master Obi-Wan told you that you weren’t aloud to cry!” Anakin chided himself. Anakin was too lost in his own mind to hear Obi-Wan walking through the door.

	Chapter 2: Another One Of Those Fights “Anakin?” Anakin looked up startled. “Yes, Master?” Obi-Wan moved from the door to stand in front of his apprentice. “Is something wrong?” “No.” “Then why are you crying?” Obi-Wan asked tilting his head to the side. “No reason.” “I know you’re lying, Anakin. A I see right through you B that is very pathetic if it was true.” “I miss my mom” Anakin admitted miserably wiping away tears. “Padawan, we’ve talked about this! You said you would try and forget about Tatooine.” “I can forget about Tatooine!” Anakin cried, now feeling anger rise up in him” I can’t forget my mom! I thought you’d understand…and sympathies” Anakin added. “I understand” Obi-Wan said. “But I don’t sympathies.” Little Ani had no idea how much of a lie that was. ‘But I need to train him don’t I?’ Obi-Wan thought ‘I can’t fail my master!’ “I thought you would” Anakin retorted. “Padawan, Jedi do not have attachments. You need to let go of your former life if you want to be a good Jedi. Attachments lead to fear of loosing. Fear leads to-“ “I don’t nee another lecture on attachments!” Anakin cried jumping “Besides you had attachments!” “How is that?” “Qui-Gon!” Obi-Wan suppressed a shudder. “Qui-Gon was my master. It hurt to loose him.” “And I miss my mom! I feel guilty that she’s still in slavery! I hate being away from her like you hate being away from Qui-Gon!” “It’s different” Obi-Wan said, his voice strained to evenness. “How is it different?” Anakin protested” Qui-Gon was like a father to you wasn’t he?” “Yes” Obi-Wan agreed. “But the difference is, Padawan, that I let go of Qui-Gon. I don’t sit around mopping about it.” Anakin had had quite enough by then. “Oh really? Well the why do you hate me?” “I don’t hate you, Padawan. If I hated you I wouldn’t be training you” obi-Wan claimed defensively. ‘Now YOU’RE lying. Admit it. You were jealous because mater jinn wanted to train me. And you somehow blame me for his death. And now you feel like you’re stuck with me don’t you!” “That’s enough, Anakin!” “And the only reason you are training me is because it was you masters DYING wish and you’re afraid that you’ll fail him!” Anakin stopped abruptly at the look on Obi-Wan’s face. Obi-Wan had gone pale at his last couple of sentences. Anakin wondered if he was alright but decided not to ask. ‘Why should I care? He doesn’t give a darn about me!’ Obi-Wan was shocked how the ten year old had saw right through to his insecurities. ‘But you’re no right…not completely’ Obi-Wan though but didn’t say anything. “Go to you room, Padawan.” Obi-Wan watched Anakin stock toward his room and then slam the door behind him. Then he collapsed on the couch without even trying to suppress the sigh that wanted out. "I am so tired of spaking words that no one uderstands Is it clear enoght that you can't live your whole life all alone I can hear you in a whisper but you can't even hear me screaming" (Evanescence "Where Will You Go") Chapter 3: Missing Padawan Anakin lay in bed staring up at the shadow show on the ceiling. The chronometer read 2:15 and he was sure that his master had gone to bed. The apartment was deadly silent. Anakin blinked away lonely tears and slipped out of bed. He got dressed and creped around the room throwing different things into his travel pack. He then grabbed his travel pack scribbled a not and made to the door with the travel pack on his shoulder and the note in his hand. He stopped suddenly contemplating over his lightsaber. Finally he nodded to himself and called his lightsaber to his hand with the Force. It landed short, at his feet, making a dull thud on the carpet. Giving an exasperated sigh he leaned down and picking up the weapon stuck it into his belt. Anakin exited his bedroom and made his way to the living room. He shivered registering with an annoyance that Obi-Wan must have left the window open again, ‘Why does he like to keep the windows open all the time. This darn planet gets cold at night at this time of year’ Anakin thought absently. He suddenly stopped dead. A faint glow, like from a data pad was coming from the couch. His heart rate slowed when he realized that Obi-Wan had fallen asleep on the couch. Anakin laid the note he was holding onto the small table next to the couch and prepared to leave but hesitated. ‘Obi-Wan’ll freeze like that’ he thought. ‘Oh well since I thought about it.’ Anakin came back into the depths of the living room and took the pad from where it lay next to Obi-Wan. Then turning it off laid it on the table next to his note. Anakin found a blanket and covered Obi-Wan with it. Then he shut the window to a crack before stealthily leaving the apartment. Obi-Wan woke up with the sunlight in his eyes. He sat up looking around the room with a confused air. “I must have fallen asleep while I was doing that damn report” Obi-Wan concluded. He threw back the blanket… Blanket? “How in the Force?” Anakinvagualy came to his mind. It couldn’t be Anakin unless he was sneaking out again to search for droid parts. But even if he was why would he be so “friendly” after their fight. Obi-Wan shook the thoughts out of his mind and drifted sleepily to Anakin’s room. “If I don’t wake him up he’s gonna sleep through all his morning classes” Obi-Wan muttered. He opened Anakin’s door in a smooth motion only to find it empty. ‘He must have gone early’ Obi-Wan decided as he made his way into his bathroom and into the ‘Fresher. Suddenly he felt guilty. Maybe the sleep-in-late troublemaker got up early today to avoid him. They’d have to work this out when Anakin came to the training session they had that afternoon. That evening Obi-Wan came to the apartment very angry. He had waited for Anakin to show up for sparring for almost an hour. Anakin never showed up. “Anakin Skywalker!” Obi-Wan called and not waiting for the boy to stick his head out he marched strait to Anakin’s room and barged in. The room was empty. “Lovely, Kenobi!” Obi-Wan muttered returning to the living room and plopped down on the couch. “You really did it this time! He’d rather face grounding then spend more time with you then he absolutely has to.” Deciding to talk to Anakin when he came home Obi-Wan decided to finish the report he had been working on. He reached for his datapad when he suddenly noticed a peace of paper next to it. He picked up the paper and was met with the site of Anakin’s slightly jumpy writing. I’m sorry I couldn’t be a better padawan and that I wasted almost a year of your life! Anakin “What in blazes does that mean?” Obi-Wan wondered confused. Suddenly he understood. The council was in the middle of a meeting when Obi-Wan Kenobi came bursting through the doors. “Obi-Wan is something wrong for you to come barging in here like that?” Ki-Adi Mundi inquired. “Forgive me masters but you see my padawan ran away!” “What?” Mace asked confused looking at Obi-Wan as though he was crazy. “Anakin! Anakin’s gone! We had a disagreement yesterday and now he’s gone!” Obi-Wwangushed out. “Gone where young Skywalker has?” Yoda asked. “I don’t know that’s the problem!” Obi-Wan cried "he ran away!” ’And it’s all your fault’ a little voice in the back of his head told him. "Listen to you heart when he's calling for you Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do I don't know where you're going and I don't know why But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye" (Roxette "Listen To Your Heart") -----signature----- Knight of the Fanfic Order (trained by oqidaun) Master to CodyMonKenobi & mujapple-juicey Proud Obi/Ani shipper!

	Chapter 4: As Night Falls Darth Sidiouse passed around the hologram of his apprentice, Darth Slithiouse, in his quarters. “My lord, are you sure the information we have received is correct?” “Do NOT doubt my sources my apprentice!” Darth Sidiouse scowled. “Yes, My Lord. But has the boy left the Order?” “That I do not know. My spy says that he has simply disappeared” Sidiouse mused. “Your assignment, Darth Slithiouse, is to find the boy and bring him to me. I want him trained as a Sith Lord” “Yes, My Lord. But if I may ask wouldn’t it be hard to turn Skywalker now before he has had any influence inflicted on him from your side?” “My young apprentice you still have much to learn as I see. We can offer the boy what the Jedi never gave him. NOW bring him to me. Do not, however, harm him!” “Yes, My Master.” The holoimage bowed respectfully and Sidiouse cut the transmission. If he was lucky Skywalker would be trained as a Sith and his plans would possibly be made easier. Yea, they would be made much easier. He wouldn’t have the hassle of tuning a stubborn Jedi brainwashed brat into the Sith Lord that he needed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ‘Calm, Obi-Wan. Keep yourself calm.’ Obi-Wan was standing on the balcony in one of the towers of the Jedi temple. The view here overlooked Coruscant. The sun had set and the chilly wind blew back Obi-Wan’s robe. He knew he should already be looking for Anakin yet he had no idea where to start. Yoda’s words hung bitingly in the air. “If leave the Order young Skywalker wishes, stop him we will not. Yet if search for him you wish, Obi-Wan. Stop you, we shall not.” Obi-Wan snorted. Of course he would search for Anakin! Anakin never really left the Order he just…ran away. Was that considered leaving the order? Obi-Wan desperately tried to clear his mind. He reached out through the force trying to locate his padawan the best he could. However, it seemed that Anakin had tried so desperately to cut himself off that he had critically severed their already fragilebond. There was so little left that it seemed to be no more effective then to simply reach out through the mainstream of the Force. ‘Why in the Force would Anakin do this?’ Obi-Wan thought, fingering Anakin’s note. ‘Why in the name of the Force would he think that he waited my time? Doesn’t he know that I care about him?’ “You tend not to show it.” Obi-Wan swung around to see Annaline, a close friend from his padawan years. She was three standard years younger then him and still wore the padawan brain with a bright pink ribbon that matched the color of her hair. “Padawan Rue! What are you doing here?” Obi-Wan exclaimed in surprise. “You don’t have to be so formal with me Obi-Wan. We are friends you know. I heard about Anakin and came to look for you. Are you going to look for him?” “Of course I’m going to look for him! He’s my padawan!” A pause followed. “Why did he run away? If something was wrong, why didn’t he talk to me about it?” Obi-Wan asked the pink-haired beauty. Annaline shrugged. “Maybe because you always distanced yourself from him. Maybe because he felt unwanted. Maybe because-“ “Stop! Stop. I get it” Obi-Wan interrupted her holding up a hand. “Come on Obi-Wan you can’t do anything tonight. Get a good nights sleep. Tomorrow you can start looking for him. I’m sure you can convince him to come back.” “Annaline… I didn’t mean to hurt him you know?” “Well I wormed you Obi-Wan. I told you that it would be better if you just let him in.” “I know. You know I did something really stupid last night.” “What’d you do?” Annaline asked as she went to lean on the railing of the balcony next to Obi-Wan. ”Anakin was crying because he missed his mother.” “And?” Annaline pressed. “We had a fight about it. I said that he should forget his mother and stop mopping about it. He brought up Qui-Gon. I go mad that he was shoving it in my face…” Obi-Wan trailed off unable to continue. “Obi-Wan? Listen to me. You can still fix this ok?” “I hope so” Obi-Wan said looking down, not daring to meet her eyes. “Come on” Annaline urged. “Come on, get some sleep!” She, then, grabbed Obi-Wan’s wrist and dragged him off the balcony. "Oh well look what you've done You've made a fool of everyone Oh well it seems like such fun Untill you loose what you have won" (Jet "Look What You've Done") Chapter 5: Deceit Of The Darkness In a dark alley a small blonde haired boy huddled against a stone wall wrapping his thermo cape around himself as he tried helplessly to shield himself from the cold. Anakin huddled in a small ball trying to go to sleep. He had been on the run the whole day. Not daring to stop. He had used the credits he had to but lunch and dinner, junk food mostly. He had skipped breakfast in its entirety. He still had some money but not much. Not nearly enough to get him off planet, especially back to Tatooine. His padawan braid tickled his cheek and he shifted position to flick it out of the way. He hadn’t removed it yet. Anakin wasn’t even sure why. He still half hoped that Obi-Wan would go looking for him. He still half heartedly hoped that his master would just appear and take scoop him into a hug. He had always looked up to Obi-Wan. Always tried to be his friend. Obi-Wan only shut him out. FLASH BACK “Come on. Just talk to me about it! You’ll feel better…I promise” Anakin urged handing Obi-Wan the hot mug of tea he had made for him. Obi-Wan took the cup from his padawan with a grateful smile. “Anakin, I don’t care to discuss my feeling on this matter with a stranger.” “A stranger?” Anakin felt the numbness course through him at Obi-Wan’s coldness. “But I’m your apprentice. I’m your friend!” “You are my padawan. That doesn’t make you my friend.” Anakin felt tears come to his eyes. He struggled to control them. “Well you’re my friend. I care about what’s happening to you.” “Padawan, it5’s time for you to go to bed.” “You always send me away when I’m trying to help.” “I don’t NEED your help. And if you want to help then go to bed for Force sakes!” “Yes, Master” Anakin murmured as he slid off the edge of the Coffee table and headed for his room. END FLASH BACK Yes, Obi-Wan had been drinking that night but he wasn’t exactly drunk. Anakin shivered. Worse things happened when Obi-wan got drunk in the first couple of months after he started training him. Then he learned to control his temper…and his drinking. Anakin sighed whispering a “good night” to himself closed his eyes forcing himself to clear his mind of his jumbled thoughts and go to sleep. “Anakin Skywalker.” Anakin started. In less then a second he was on his feet with his lightsaber, activated, in his hand. The light blue of his ‘saber gave off a ghostly light in the pitch black alley. Anakin peered frantically through the darkness trying to distinguish the source of the hissing voice that had called his name. At first he thought it was a dream but then he sensed a presents. One he wasn’t sure he liked. “Who are you” Anakin asked keeping his voice steady. His lightsaber made his glinting eyes seem unnaturally blue. They seemed to glow just like his weapon. “Just call me Sam. I’m here to help you” came the hissing voice. “Why?” Anakin asked boldly. “You are cold and tired I suppose. Hungry?” “Umm” Anakin gulped. “Why do you want to help me? And how do you know my name anyways?” “Aren’t you a Jedi padawan?” “Yea so?” “I have an interest in the Jedi.” “That still doesn’t tell me why you want to help me” Anakin protested suspiciously. His eyes had adjusted now and he could make out a figure standing in front of him. I seemed to be hooded. “Well you must me on a mission since you are out here all by yourself and not at the temple. I offer help to the brave Jedi. Tell me aren’t you a little young to be on a mission alone. Where is your master?” “I’m not on a mission” Anakin confessed reluctantly. “I don’t live at the temple anymore.” :’Where do you plan to go then, young Jedi?” “None of your business” Anakin replied sharply. There was a sharp intake of breath from the other and Anakin tightened his grip on his lightsaber. “Well then spend the night.” “How do I know I can trust you?” “Use your senses.” Anakin reached out through the Force. He couldn’t feel much from the other but he blamed it on his lack of skill. He did not, however, feel a threat in the other nor deceit. “Alright” Anakin complied finally. In the darkness Darth Slithiouse grinned in satisfaction. "There's a song that's inside of my soul It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again I'm awake in the infinate cold..."

	Chapter 5: And So Begins The Brainwashing “Master! Help me, please!” “Hold on, Anakin! I’m coming!” There was a flash of scarlet. The bright red blade cut through the air. Anakin screamed as the blade made contact with his stomach, spearing him. “NO!” Obi-Wan cried running to his padawan’s side. There was a swish of black robes and the dark being disappeared. Obi-Wan sank down to Anakin’s side and scooped the boy in his arms. “You’re too late” Anakin gasped. His eyes were clouded but there was no reprimand in them…only sadness. “No! No, Anakin, stay with me! C’mon buddy stay with me!” “I’m sorry, Obi-Wan” Anakin whispered as he closed his eyes “I won’t miss again.” X3 X3 X3 Obi-Wan woke with a start. He saw sweating. ‘What a terrible nightmare’ he thought getting out of bed. The sun was already up. While taking his shower and getting dressed Obi-Wan thought of the dream. He couldn’t stop brooding over it. “It’s just a dream, Kenobi. Stop being paranoid” Obi-Wan assured himself allowed. But the dream had been so real! He ate a quick breakfast and was ready to leave to look for Anakin. He opened the door and was greeted by a smiling Annaline. “Good morning Obi-Wan. Did you sleep well?” “Depends on your meaning of ‘Well’. What are you doing here anyways?” “I have the next four days off. Lucky me huh?” “Ann I’m going to look for Anakin you know that.” She nodded “Of course that’s why I’m here.” “Explain.” She laughed at his confused look. “I wanna help you.” “Look for Anakin? Why?” “So many questions Obi-Wan! Come on we better get going. She grabbed his hand and dragged him out into the hall way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anakin drifted slowly back to awareness. He stretched lazily completely oblivious to his surroundings or to the memory of the other night. The blissful moment didn’t last long and he sat up abruptly. His eyes flew open. He scanned the small room with his intense gaze. It was sparely furnished with a small window through which dim light filed into the room. It was partially cloudy today. Anakin reached for his cloths and got dressed. He wondered what he should do next. ‘Leave’ he advised himself. Suddenly the door opened and a hooded figure appeared. Anakin recognized the Force signature. “Sam?” he asked cautiously. “I see you are awake, young Skywalker.” Anakin nodded. “Thanks for letting me spend the night and all. It was really nice of you.” “My master is eager to meat you.” “You have a master? Are you a Jedi too?” “No.” The being’s reply was a hiss. Anakin flinched a bit. “Umm ok but could I have breakfast first?” A tray was brought in for him and he ate happily. Who ever these people were they sure were nice! After breakfast he followed Sam into another room. It was large but for the most part empty. It looked a bit like one of the Force Use training rooms at the temple. Anakin felt a slight change in the Force. A current that was rushing over him, caressing him in a seductive and yet dangerous way. Anakin fidgeted with the strap of his travel pack. He was beginning to feel a little anxious. “Don’t be scared.” Anakin jumped and whirled around to the sound of the voice. It was a different voice. It wasn’t as much of a hiss as Sam’s was but at the same time there was a chill in it that Anakin didn’t like. He saw another hooded figure in front of him. ‘Why do they always where their hood up?’ Anakin thought. ‘Who are you?” he asked. His behavior copied his reaction from the other night accept this time he wasn’t holding an activated lightsaber in a death grip. “You’re so tense. I thought that you’d figure out that we weren’t going to hurt you, by now.” Darth Sidiouse said ignoring Anakin’s question. Anakin cocked his head to the side. “I don’t know…” he trailed but relaxed a bit. “So why has a talented young Jedi like you leave the temple?” “Why do you care?” “You’re sharp tongued. You know…we could always continue you’re training. You do want to become a powerful Force user don’t you?” ‘Yea” Anakin nodded in agreement. “But why do you guys wanna train me anyways?” “You are the Chosen One. I can show you how to use the Force in all of its brilliance. Come Anakin let me train you. You will be a master of the Force.” “If you guys aren’t Jedi but are Force sensitive then…” Anakin trailed off not sure what to think. Obi-Wan’s words floated to his head. “The Dark is seductive, padawan. The Sith are users of the Dark Side of the Force…” Anakin stopped Obi-Wan voice in his head. The Sith were evil. These people, beings, whoever they were, were nice! “What do you have to lose boy!” Darth Slithiouse hissed from the corner. “Your master has forsaken you. The Jedi have forsaken you.” “Na-uh! Obi-Wan just…he just…” Anakin stumbled over his own words. “Never wanted to train you in the first place? Just like the Council?” Sisiouse supplied. Anakin stared into the shadowed face that he knew was under the hood. He gulped as he searched for ways to defend the Order and Obi-Wan. Coming up short for good excuses he hung his head.

	Thank you to oqidaun and PowerOf_TheDarkside for your reveiws!! Here's the next chapter Chapter 7: Lies Are Afoot “Obi-Wan! Obi-Wan come look at this!” Annaline called excitedly. Obi-Wan jogged to stand beside Annaline in the alleyway next to a polished speeder. “What is it Ann?” he asked. “This is a Jedi speeder.” Obi-Wan scratched the top of his head thoughtfully. “The entrance to the alley is too blocked up for a speeder to roll in here. And you’ve gotta have some major skill to drop this thing in here from the air. It’s such a tight squeeze” Annaline went on. “Wait! You don’t actually think…” Annaline nodded looking almost amused. “What’s it’s serial number?” “J81767K23C96.” Obi-Wan whipped out his commlink. He spoke into it quietly for a few moments then putting it away turned to Annaline. “It appears this speeder is missing. It was never checked out.” Obi-Wan sighed. “I can’t believe that Anakin would jack a speeder. He’s a prankster, yes. But this?” “Obi-Wan hush! Let is go. Now I’d do this but I suppose you’d be more effective seeing how you are the knight here, not to mention Anakin’s master. You would be much more successful in following Anakin’s Force trail.” Obi-Wan didn’t protest, only closed his eyes in concentration. ‘I hope you learn something from this Knight Kenobi’ Annaline thought as she watched her friend. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anakin tightened the grip on his lightsaber. He hadn’t even registered the movement of his hand from his side to the hilt of the ‘saber, so intently focused was he on the two hooded men before him. He didn’t understand why these Force sensitive, though un-Jedi, beings wanted to train him but by now he didn’t seem to find a reason for why he should object to their offer. From the demonstrations they had given him they seemed very Jedi-like and certainly they were masters of the Force. Maybe they could help him. “If I agree to train with you guys will you let me see my mother?” “Of course” Darth Sidiouse replied smoothly. “You will gain such power as you go through your training. You will be able to free your mother and all your friends back on Tatooine.” “Wizard! Hey can I ask you guys something? Why do you always wear your hoods up?” “In time you will learn” Sidiouse answered lightly. “Ok. I’ll umm train with you guys I guess” Anakin fumbled. His hand relaxed the grip on his ‘saber slightly. “From now on you will refer to me as ‘Master’” Darth Sidiouse proclaimed, his pleasure evident in his voice. Anakin swallowed. “You will learn the ways of the Force. All the aspects. Even those that the Jedi had never, would never, show you” Sidiouse said, his voice getting deeper as he spoke. “The Dark Side?” Anakin guessed anxiously. “You are perceptive, boy” Darth Slithiouse praised in his hissing accent. “But the Dark Side is evil!” Anakin protested. “Only the Sith use the Dark Side!” “The Dark side is powerful!” countered Sidiouse. “The Jedi blind themselves by refusing to except that simple truth and embrace the power that it offers.” “And yet the Dark Side shows itself even in the Jedi” spoke Slithiouse. Anakin shifted confused and disbelieving eyes to the man he knew as ‘Sam’. “What do you think Jedi Kenobi is doing at this very moment?” Anakin thought of his master…former master. A glimmer of guilty hope lived in his heart that Obi-Wan was looking for him. He had always been fond of his master. Always had tired to win his approval and affection. Anakin decided to speak of his hope rather then voice what he feared, yet believed, was true. “I suppose he’s looking for me.” Darth Slithiouse shook his head sympathetically. “I’m sorry, Anakin but I’m afraid he’s too busy choosing another padawan, the kind he always wanted, to be concerned with such…trivial matters. Now tell me what sensitive, light-loving, caring master would do such a cold thing as to let his charge run to no where in a dangerous large city?” Anakin just stood there, unable to respond in any way, as he felt hope slip away as he gave into the coldhearted lie.

	Thnks to light- for your reveiw!!! Good luck on your fic(s) Chapter 8: Rain Dusk. The lights of Caruscant lit up in their glorious glow, reflecting off of the glassy impending skyscrapers, and streaked into the lower streets in colorful rays. Annaline followed Obi-Wan silently, no wishing to break his concentration. The young Jedi knight walked purposefully, winding his way through the numerous alleys and streets. Yet his eyes were clouded as though he was sleep walking. His face was tranquil and so was his mind. Annaline gripped the handle of her lightsaber and looked around anxiously as she followed Obi-Wan into an alley in the lower levels of Coruscant. The passage was claustrophobically narrow and barely penetrated by light. “Obi-Wan?” she whispered nervously. The padawan felt a menacing darkness here. A darkness that wasn’t at all to her liking. Obi-Wan stopped abruptly. His eyes cleared and he turned to stare at Annaline in alarm. “It’s gone.” “What’s gone?” she asked worriedly. She was extremely apprehensive of this place. “Anakin’s Force signature” Obi-Wan explained, patient as usual, “where Anakin’s Force signature should be there is only…” “Darkness” Annaline finished grimly. Obi-Wan shuddered. “There is something terribly wrong here” he murmured. “Who ever was here left a lingering imprint of darkness.” The two young Jedi stood side by side for a while in silence. “It’s going to rain” Annaline finally announced in a quiet tone. Obi-Wan nodded. “You should go back to the temple” he told her. Just then, as if on cue, a drizzle started and a downpour swiftly followed. Annaline and obi-Wan took shelter under a bettered canopy of what probably once was a makeshift garage. Obi-Wan leaned against the wall of the building and slid down to the ground. Annaline settled next to him. “This is all my fault isn’t it?” Obi-Wan asked keeping his eyes on the rain splotched ground. “There’s no use in beating yourself up over it now” Annaline said in a vague attempt at comforting her friend. The pair fell silent for a moment before Annaline broke the mournful silence by asking “What happened Obi-Wan?” “With me and Anakin?” “No” Annaline said shaking her head, “with you. You’ve changed. I just hope this can knock some sense back into you.” “I know I was wrong” obi-Wan admitted grudgingly. “When you came back from Naboo I tried to find the boy I once knew in the man that stood before me. The boy that was so bright, the boy that would never throw his anger at the world on an innocent boy of only nine, the boy who would be flattered by his padawan’s admiration and longing for friendship, not annoyed, the boy who would never allow THIS to happen!” Annaline ended on a dramatically accusing note. Obi-Wan only looked at her. “The boy who loved me” she finished, now shy. “I still do” Obi-Wan assured her softly and put his arm around her waist. She scooted closer to him and dropped her head on his shoulder. Silence followed, a more comfortable one this time. The two young Jedi sat, as though spellbound, listning to the rain song. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “It isn’t safe to keep him on Coruscant” Darth Slithiouse was saying. “Well then you will have to take him off planet. I can’t leave just yet. We don’t know how much the Jedi know. It will look too suspicious” Sidious reasoned. “That fool Kenobi might actually be looking for him” the other answered. “Keep it down, apprentice, he might be practicing as he was told or he may be eavesdropping or trying to anyways.” Out in the hall Anakin was walking back to his room as it was ten and he was suppose to be in bed by then. He was still slightly confused but maybe he could find out more the next day. Suddenly he herd sounds of conversation from somewhere further down the hall. Curiosity flared within Anakin. Maybe he could pick up something from their conversation. Anakin crept along the hall and stopped a few feet before the door of the room and pulled up his shields up to his best ability to conceal his presents. He listened. “But which world should we take him to?” Sam was saying. “Rejeh I suppose” his new master supplied. “We will have to get out of here soon. I don’t want Jedi trouble right now.” “We won’t. I will make sure Kenobi will have a bounty hunter on his tale by dawn. It will rid us of a lot of trouble. There’s no way he can fins the boy if he’s dead.” Evil laughter followed. Anakin’s eyes went wide. Was he really hearing what he thought he was? Were they going to try to kill Obi-Wan? Anakin returned to his room quickly and went to bed. He couldn’t fall asleep, though, no mater how hard he tried. Anakin tried to forget what he had heard but questions piled up and he grew restless. “He can’t find the boy I he’s dead.” The phrase echoes over and over in his head. Did that mean the obi-Wan was looking for him? But h had been told that Obi-Wan WASN’T looking for him. ‘Maybe the council made him’ Anakin though, then dismissed the thought. Ether way he didn’t want them to hurt Obi-Wan. He thought he should, but he didn’t. Feeling utterly confused and little scared Anakin finally drifted into an uneasy sleep. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Do you really think Anakin’s a pathetic life form?” Annaline asked. “Oh please don’t bring that up” Obi-Wan moaned, they were still waiting for the rain to stop. FLASH BACK “Annaline, please talk more quietly. We don’t want the whole temple to hear!” Obi-Wan begged as he looked into Annaline’s frustrated blue eyes. The two were standing outside of Obi-Wan’s quarters after Annaline had witnessed a fight between Obi-Wan and Anakin. “Really Obi-Wan? Why? Because you don’t want people to know what you’ve been saying?” “It’s not about my pride Ann!” Obi-Wan countered. “He’s NINE Obi-Wan! He doesn’t deserve you giving him the cold shoulder. Besides, he adores you! Why can’t you just TRY to see the good side of him?” “I said I would train Anakin. Yes, I promised Qui-Gon and I will fulfill my promise to my master. That doesn’t mean I have to like him.” “And you called HIM a pathetic life form?” Annaline scoffed. “What?” Annaline and Obi-Wan both turned to see an extremely miserable looking Anakin. “Anakin I thought I told you to go to your room” Obi-Wan snapped, instantly receiving a glare from Annaline. Anakin ignored him. “Did he really call me a pathetic life form?” Anakin asked Annaline. Obi-Wan looked at Annaline. She shook her head. “I can’t lie to him Obi-Wan” she said sadly before walking away. “Anakin…” Obi-Wan started but Anakin didn’t want to listen and ran back inside. “Anakin come back here!” Obi-Wan ordered but he was ignored. Obi-Wan swung open the door to his padawan’s room, determined to sort things out. “Anakin, we WILL talk about this rationally” Obi-Wan demanded. “Go away” Anakin said through suppressed sobs, “I don’t want to talk to you ok?” END FLASH BACK “Obi-Wan are you alright?” Annaline said bringing Obi-Wan back to the moment. “You were wrong…” “About what?” “I did see the good side of him. It's impossible not to.I was just…scared I guess. No, not scared, confused is more like it.” Annaline sighed. “I’m sorry…I know he wasn’t suppose to hear that” she apologized, sure of what Obi-Wan had thought about. “It’s fine” he muttered “I deserved it.” "Here comes the rain again Falling from the stars Drenched in my pain again Becoming who we are" (Green Day "Wake Me Up When September Ends") -----signature----- Knight of the Fanfic Order (trained by oqidaun) Master to CodyMonKenobi & mujapple-juicey Proud Obi/Ani shipper!

	I like the description of dusk at the beginning. Very evocative. Nice chapter and good use of the flash back to show us some of the backstory. “I did see the good side of him. It's impossible not to.I was just…scared I guess. No, not scared, confused is more like it.” I like this piece of dialogue. -----signature----- . . . . I'm so bad, I banned myself.

	Thanks for all your supporting comments, Master! light-: I loved the flashback myself Lol Venus_Star2-com: Lol Here's another update for you guys! Chapter 9: Off World “So remind me HOW you figured this out? Annaline asked as she half jogged to keep up with Obi-Wan’s fast pace. She didn’t feel quite herself at five in the morning. “The training bond” Obi-Wan explained not bothering to look at her. “I thought it was severed” Annaline said, her tone soaked with confusion. “Not completely. Though it was badly damaged, courtesy of one obviously angry padawan.” “So what happened?” “Well I had given up on the bond connection but last night I could feel Anakin’s presents through the bond again. So I was able to trace his location...approximately. Annaline stopped and looked around in confusion. “Obi-Wan, this is a dead end” she announced gazing at the three stone walls that prevented their progress. “That’s what cable launchers are for” he said with a smirk taking his out from his utility belt. “Ready?” he asked turning to her. “Obi-Wan, wait” Annaline whispered. “Oh come on” Obi-Wan rolled his eyes, “You’ve been in worse places then the lower levels of Coruscant.” Obi-Wan activated the cable launcher, tossing the hook into the air. It hooked onto the top of the wall, making a screeching noise before it stabilized. Obi-Wan pushed off the ground springing half way up the wall. He planted his feel and looked down at Annaline who was still standing at the foot of the wall not daring to venture up the primitive structure. ‘Blast it what’s wrong with her?’ Obi-Wan thought, irritation bubbling to the surface. Suddenly there was a lurch in the Force and Obi-Wan only had enough time to sweep out his lightsaber before he was showered with blaster fire. Obi-Wan deactivated his cable launcher and jumped back down to the ground. Annaline was already deflecting blaster bolts with her lightsaber. “Let’s go back!” she shouted. “No!” Obi-Wan protested, “we’re going forward. Cover me.” Annaline got in front of Obi-Wan as the older Jedi used the Force to move several durasteal trash containers against the wall in a half latter half ramp structure. Then he stepped to Annaline’s side and activated his lightsaber again. He focused on the shady figure in black standing atop the wall. Then accessing the Force Obi-Wan ran forward and up the stack of bins with his lightsaber in front of him. When he got too close to deflect shots Obi-Wan jumped forward in a summersault managing to catch the man off guard and making him duck so that he wouldn’t get hit by Obi-Wan’s awkward attempt at a kick. Obi-Wan landed atop the wall in front of the man and raised his lightsaber. The other jumped down to the other side, however, continuing the fire. Obi-Wan became faintly aware that Annaline had followed him to the top. He jumped down, refusing to allow the assassin, or whoever he was, to escape. He raced after the man but his hesitation of a second had cost him. The man in black jumped into a speeder and zoomed into the air lanes of Coruscant. Annaline ran up to stand next to Obi-Wan. “He’ll be back” Obi-Wan lamented more to himself then to Annaline. “Who was that? And why was he trying to kill you…or us?” “I don’t know” Obi-Wan said honestly, “but we better be careful from now on.” ________________________________________ Four skyscrapers towered menacingly over a launching pad. They were sleek and plane, built so that their sides connected, allowing no passage into the square that they created. A compact sleek ship stood ready in the middle. Two figures cloaked in black met at the boarding ramp. “Lord Slithiouse.” “Yes, Master?” “We have a change of plans” the Sith declared. His apprentice looked inquisitive yet remained respectfully silent. “You are to take young Skywalker to Cato Neimoidia instead of the planned destination.” “If I may ask, Master, for what reason?” “Security” Sidious explained.. “I feel it will be safer to take him there. Also the place has a deeper Dark Side influence. Yet it would not be searched by the Jedi incase the blasted fools decided to indeed search for the boy.” Slithiousee nodded in understanding. “Uh, Anakin. You finally decided to join us” Sidious said, his voice changing slightly. He turned to face the clocked boy who was trotting toward them. “It’s early” Anakin mumbled. His eyes traveled from the ground, to the men in front of him, and then to the ship. Anakin’s sky blue eyes lit up immediately. “Wow! That’s your ship? Can I fly it? Please?” “Yes” Slithiousee said, happy to be relieved of the task of piloting the ship. He would prefer to sit back and relax. “Thanks, Sam!” Anakin cheered and ran up the ramp and into the cockpit. “You’ve really got to tell him your real name now that we are training him” Sidious said disapprovingly. ”Also once you get there…do something about that braid.” The last word came out in an ominous hiss. ”He is no longer a Jedi.” "Who are you now Are you still the same or did you changed somehow What do you do At this very moment when I think of you" (Backstreet Boys "I Still") -----signature----- Knight of the Fanfic Order (trained by oqidaun) Master to CodyMonKenobi & mujapple-juicey Proud Obi/Ani shipper!
