Ahhh those two were so adorable together!  I'm sure Dooku had flashbacks of his own when Qui was his apprentice.
Hmf figured Sidious might have had a hand in it...but I'm still curious on whether or not Dooku was aware of it or not. I can see him not being aware of it...then again I could see him being aware of it if he truly wants Obi to help him take Sidious out.
Great update!  Loved the interactions myself (as if my first sentence didn't mention that already  )

"Dooku, you are less than adept at this." Obi-Wan couldn't help but comment, as he quickly extended his arms straight to catch a blast aimed at Dooku on the tip of his sabre.
"Eloquent even when you're being insulting. I'm impressed." Dooku responded, blocking another shot and sending it ricocheting just over Tann's head. She cast a quick annoyed glace back over her shoulder before returning to what she was doing.
"I'm simply stating a fact." Obi-Wan said, spinning his sabre in an intricate pattern in front of him to deflect four rapidly fired bolts.
"Perhaps." Dooku conceded. "Though most of the time I have no need for reflecting blaster fire, as I tend to know of attacks far enough in advance to not have to partake in them."
"Don't start that again." Obi-Wan warned, though the words were actually harsher than his tone; Dooku's comment had been a jibe, not an accusation as it had been earlier. He took a few steps closer to Dooku so he could block another shot without having to throw himself off balance.
"I'm not starting anything." Dooku said, and the tone of innocence was amusing to hear from the distinctly not-innocent Count.
I banter and this was great.
"Fine, Dooku. You were right." Obi-Wan said, with a tone of great patience as he noticed his lightsabre laying on the ground a few meters away and began towards it.
"And I told you that you would be injured the first battle you were in." Dooku added, sounding a bit proud of himself.
Obi-Wan sighed, picking up his lightsabre and beginning to turn towards the Sith as he spoke. "I was [i]not shot by a clone trooper, so it doesn't-"
For the third time in less than ten minutes Obi-Wan was interrupted, as a blaster shot that had somehow been missed by Tann and Darc struck him in the chest. The force of the shot knocked Obi-Wan into Dooku, and the Sith instinctively caught him. Lowering the Knight carefully to the ground, Dooku kneeled next to him as Tann, who had rushed over immediately, reached them to began deflecting the shots from the remaining clones' blaster rifles away. "Don't move while I assess the injury, Obi-Wan."
Obi-Wan didn't seem to be listening to him, staring blankly upwards, and Dooku was about to try getting his attention again when the Knight finally spoke. "Don't. Say. Anything." He warned, and it took Dooku only one confused beat before he caught what Obi-Wan was talking about.
"Oh, I wasn't planning on it. You know full well what I would have said, so it's unnecessary." Dooku responded calmly, with only a hint of superiority. "Though I am greatly impressed by your ability to curse yourself in such an ironically timely manner." [/i]
That was a wonderful exchange...and so in character.
Great job, and now Sidious enters the picture. Not good.

So, Sidious is here to assess the damage. The comical atmosphere will significantly darken.

Sorry I haven't exactly been conscientious about following your updates for this story. 
Chapter Two
Also, I unfortunatly won't get a chance to look at the schematics of the solar sailer from the AOTC Incredible Cross-sections book until late tomorrow, so I took a guess at the interior of the ship based on what I read.
 You do that much research on vehicle schematics? I feel so ashamed of myself…
in exchange for helping me infiltrate the Sith and gain information that will help the Republic win the war
This line somehow struck me really deeply. It was a reminder of sorts of how shortsighted the Jedi had become by the time of the Clone Wars, that they would place 'winning the war' on nearly equal footing, as far as priorities go, as getting 'the identity of Sidious'.
Dooku responded calmly, taking another sip of tea from a cup that Obi-Wan idly noticed was the same white-pink as the tables.
That image of Count Dooku, Lord Tyranus of the Sith, drinking from a pale pink teacup is just *priceless*. I really like that, thus far, this story hasn't taken itself too seriously—its very premise is rather comic: Obi-Wan fooling Sidious into thinking him a Sith. I also enjoyed how you contrasted how Dooku seemed to find the whole situation somewhat amusing; whereas Obi-Wan was thoroughly put out.
reminding himself pointedly that Dooku was nothing like Qui-Gon
I was just wondering if this is going to be a theme of this story? It's certainly a very interesting area which I feel has not been fully explored, and it would be so cool to see that develop in this story. Well, I'm just speculating, of course!  Pay no heed to my rambling.
I think you introduced Anakin nicely, in a fairly direct way that clearly sets the tone for his characterisation, at least as we see it so far. I like the little nuances you gave Mace in this scene, and you nailed the relationship between Anakin and Mace quite efficiently. Good that he isn't being too bratty so far—Anakin, I mean. 
I like their banter better and better the more I read of it. The bit in the ship's library, especially, was great fun reading, and I think Obi-Wan's attitude toward the Situation came across really well; funny but with a sense of gravity.
Chapter Three
Dooku looked up at him briefly as he entered before returning his attention to his datapad. "Hello, Obi-Wan."
"Hello." Obi-Wan responded, slightly amused by the casual oddness of such an exchange as he took a few steps over to the table.
"You are proving incredibly difficult to find a name for." Dooku informed him, almost sighing.
"I can't say I am surprised. Are there any candidates at all?" Obi-Wan asked, not particularly concerned about what his name ended up being. It wasn't going to mean much to him anyway, as he only saw it as a tool rather than the heavily symbolic thing it was for a true Sith.
"Yes." Dooku said, nodding. "Talionis. It means 'retribution'. Fitting, I think."
Obi-Wan nodded as well, considering that. It wasn't Darth Sarcasm, Darth Cynicism, Darth Unimaginative, Darth Nobody, or Darth Hey-Look-I'm-Actually-A-Jedi, so Obi-Wan saw no real objection to it. Except for one thing.
"It sounds like 'Talon'." Obi-Wan pointed out. "And that's a terrible name."
The Count didn't miss a beat. "Obi-Wan, think of the Sith you have known and read about. They all have terrible names." He said calmly, as if explaining something obvious.
"...I suppose you're right." Obi-Wan conceded after a moment. "It could be far worse."
Dooku nodded in agreement. "And it has the same first letter as my Sith name." He added, almost as an afterthought.
"Does that matter?"
"No, not in the slightest."
There's just something so surreal about that whole exchange which I somehow find utterly irresistable, especially the part where Dooku says "And it has the same first letter as my Sith name." He's adorable!
/gurgles
They landed the solar sailer in a small hanger bay at the side of the fortress and stepped out, Dooku leading the way to a heavy metal door which he opened with the Force. That earned a raised eyebrow from Obi-Wan. "Is there no button?"
"There is, but that's not especially interesting." Dooku responded
Oooh, do that again!
I agree with Obi-Wan's observation that Anakin is somewhat like Dooku, but I think it would be far truer to say that Obi-Wan is like the Count. Though Obi-Wan wouldn't like to admit that, of course; at least not yet at this point.
Scowl at people…and allow some emotion into your voice.
Am I the only one who was reminded of Anakin by this line?
It is intriguing to see that Dooku takes the initiative here in bringing up the subject of Qui-Gon, though Obi-Wan had not voiced his earlier thoughts on that. Is he trying to establish some sort of rapport with Obi-Wan? The way Obi-Wan did not even try to deflect that, or give it any other reaction besides simply a slight nod, says a great deal, I think. Anyway, it's all good, and Qui-Gon references, especially, are *very* good, so keep it up!
I can't emphasise enough how much I love the little exchange about Qui-Gon's death. The characterisations were perfect, the entire flow and rhythmn of that scenelet was absolutely spot-on, especially the wonderfully taut dialogue. I could feel so many emotions in the two of them, barely contained beneath the surface of their lines, and there were a lot of layers to the dialogue. That bit is worth reading over and over again; in fact, I felt compelled to read it several times over the course of a few days, because it's just so rich. You showed enormous sensitivity in handling Obi-Wan and Dooku's reactions to each other, and to the subject of Qui-Gon's death through the passage of a decade, and I think it was just right—intense, but not over the top. Something I truly admired I that you portrayed them fairly as both sympathetic characterters. You did not make Dooku out to be an unfeeling bad guy, but made me feel deeply for both of them.
"Joining the Sith was a poor way to show that." Obi-Wan responded tonelessly.
That line is anything but toneless, IMHO. 
Obi-Wan did step away then, staring up at him, his expression serious. "And you're going to have to convince me that I should."
And the way you wrapped up that whole chapter was great; it sets up readers' expectations of the story in a very efficient sort of way, and gives your two principal characters something to work at.
Chapter Four
I liked Obi-Wan's 'conversation' of sorts with Asajj Ventress; it reminded me of his AotC scene with Jango Fett on Kamino. I think it was great that although Obi-Wan was clearly acting, the arrogance didn't seem too unnatural on him because you somehow let a little bit of his own swagger into the scene.
A battalion of clones are on planet, on course for the fortress.
When I read this, my first thought was 'Anakin!' Then I came to my senses. I am actually surprised that Dooku did not immediately suspect Palpatine after Obi-Wan denied having had the clones sent there.
Chapter Five
"Are you alright?" He asked, a bit surprised at himself to find that he was honestly concerned.
Ooooh! Goody goody gumdrops!
I love the reference to the lightsaber thing. It's funny, but when I went back and re-read it, I became so glad that they could mention Qui-Gon without either of them getting tetchy.
"I agree. Though aside from the twelve of you, only myself, Dooku, and the Acolytes know that Raxus Prime is a Separatist base." He paused a moment, as it dawned on him that that wasn't quite true. "Except..."
Ah! Is he going to get it soon, without Dooku having to tell him? I can't wait for the next update now you've gone and left us such a wicked cliffhanger.
*dangles helplessly*

"Dooku, you are less than adept at this." Obi-Wan couldn't help but comment, as he quickly extended his arms straight to catch a blast aimed at Dooku on the tip of his sabre.
"Eloquent even when you're being insulting. I'm impressed." Dooku responded, blocking another shot and sending it ricocheting just over Tann's head.
That's right! Obi's a master of sarcastic eloquence!
"No; though I would surmise grenades or thermal detonators of some sort." Obi-Wan responded, still deflecting shots and trying not to watch Ventress and Skorr make their way violently around the battlefield. "They're standard-issue for many of the clone troopers." Again, he twirled his sabre rapidly to return some shots and knock a stray bit of metal from the air.
"You needn't show off, you know." Dooku commented as he watched, though he sounded amused rather than annoyed.
"I am not showing off, Dooku." Obi-Wan responded with an air of great patientience. "And in fact, I am hurt that you would insinuate such a thing."
"I'm sure you are."
Obi-Wan cast a barely perceptible look of amusement and a nod at the Sith. "I am." He confirmed. "In fact-" The Knight cut himself off midway through his sentence as a small spherical object landed at his feet. "...Oh, not good."
I absolutely love the way you have Obi and Douku interact! I could totally picture this!
"Of course, you have somehow managed to be hit one of the few places where you're not wearing armour." That's Obi for you. Always getting injured.
All the Acolytes accounted for, Obi-Wan noticed something that wasn't. "Where's my lightsabre?"
Dooku gave him a look. "Don't tell me Qui-Gon passed that trait to you as well." He commented, before glancing around as well.
"Did he get it from you?" Obi-Wan asked, raising an eyebrow inquisitively.
"Of course not." Dooku said, not particularly convincingly, before changing the subject as he seemingly noticed something.
"And I told you that you would be injured the first battle you were in." Dooku added, sounding a bit proud of himself.
Obi-Wan sighed, picking up his lightsabre and beginning to turn towards the Sith as he spoke. "I was not shot by a clone trooper, so it doesn't-"
For the third time in less than ten minutes Obi-Wan was interrupted, as a blaster shot that had somehow been missed by Tann and Darc struck him in the chest. The force of the shot knocked Obi-Wan into Dooku, and the Sith instinctively caught him.

"Oh, I wasn't planning on it. You know full well what I would have said, so it's unnecessary." Dooku responded calmly, with only a hint of superiority. "Though I am greatly impressed by your ability to curse yourself in such an ironically timely manner." Someone should really inform Obi about Murphy's Law!
"Indeed." Dooku agreed. "Though, as I am noticing, your talent for getting yourself injured lets nothing stand in it's way. It's almost comical."
"For you, perhaps." Obi-Wan responded, sounding distinctly unamused as he propped himself up on his elbows.
"You might call a tailor, though." Dooku remarked from next to him. He looked at the Knight. "A hole in your sleeve, damage to your cape, and burns to both tunics and a tabbard. Do you normally go through clothing this quickly?"
Obi-Wan considered that thoughtfully for a moment. "Actually, yes."
Surprisingly enough to Obi-Wan, the Sith had been almost as fussy as Qui-Gon used to be about tending to Obi-Wan's injuries. It had taken the Jedi quite an effort to convince Dooku that he was perfectly fine, especially as Dooku had been concerned about the Jedi's slight haziness after the grenade had gone off. For some reason, Obi-Wan's assurance of 'it's nothing to be concerned over, this isn't the first time' hadn't seemed to help.  Really, Obi, I wonder why? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you're always getting injured!
"Sidious is here." I knew it!  Uh oh! Better watch out, Obi!
Excellent post! And I loved the interplay between the Sith Accolytes too! Looking forward to more!

Hello, everyone! No new chapter yet, as I am a lazy girl who has spent much of the past few weeks playing Halo 3, but I thought I really should respond to comments. :3 And uh... Forgive weird spelling or grammar errors. My brain seems to have gone to bed already.
epithree - Thanks! I hope Sidious' visit will be interesting, yes.
Fifilla - Thanks! And of course; you're added.
Kynstar - Hehe, they are being awfully cute for a pair of supposedly intimidating, evil Sith Lords. Yes, Dooku's definately reminded of Qui, and I'm glad you liked the interaction. As for what Dooku's aware of an what not... Well, you'll find out eventually. Some day. 
earlybird-obi-wan - Thanks! Yes, they're becoming quite the odd team.
Valairy_Scot - I'm glad you liked all the bantering; it's so much fun to write. Yeah, nothing with Sidious is EVER good. 
92SE-R - Thanks! Hehe, twisted is certainly a good way to describe it.
Darth_Kripp - Yes, though only slightly.
G__Anakin - Thanks!
Ascal_Elessar - Thanks!
Cael-Fenton - *Squees at super-long comment* Don't worry about not keeping up or anything; you're not required to comment at all, after all. And prepare for epic return-comment!
Chapter 2
Hehe, I'm just a detail freak that way. Otherwise, I look back at a story and go, 'Hey, I didn't know what I was talking about. ' So I just try to avoid that to begin with.
Glad you liked the line about the Sith and the war; the Council's priorities (and those of all the Jedi) got majorly skewed throughout the Clone Wars.
Heh, I'm glad you liked the pink teacup. I don't think anyone else has mentioned it so far (though I might have forgotten) and it was something I had a lot of fun adding in. Yeah, I don't want anything getting too serious; at least not all the time! And Obi is certainly an unhappy camper.
Yes, I've always found the 'lines' of Master/Padawans to be really interesting, and there's no line more interesting (in my opinion, at least) than Dooku-Qui-Obi-Anakin and all their extra relation people (like Yoda, Sidious, Xanatos, Luke, etc). Exploring how the main four relate to each other and the similarities in their personalities is something I want to try to focus on in this fic.
Anakin will get a chance to be bratty later (he can't help himself, after all), but he'll behave himself for the most part. Glad you liked his little scene; I'm hoping to stick another short one in the next chapter.
Their banter is so much fun to write, so I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Chapter 3
Hehe, glad you liked the name conversation. I was a little concerned it was too silly, but I couldn't resist.
Indeed, I agree; Obi and Dooku are far more alike than Dooku and Anakin, but Obi might go cry in a corner if someone told him that, at least at this point.
Hehe, I hadn't thought about that at the time, but I suppose that was a bit Anakin-ish.
I'm really glad you liked the conversation and comments about Qui-Gon; I thought it was a really important thing to have them discuss, so I'm very happy it came across well. Qui-Gon was such an important part of both of their lives, and he's the link that connects Dooku and Obi-Wan together, so he'll definately be a big part of their conversations and interactions. I'm glad Dooku came across well too, especially.
And work they shall... With much bickering and catfighting along the way.
Chapter 4
Hehe, I didn't even think about it being similar to the conversation with Jango, but it's awesome that it reminded you of that.
Um, well... I think the only plausible answer for that is that Dooku's going senile.
Chapter 5
They're starting to get along, finally.
Hmmmm, possibly. 
Thanks again for the huge comment, and I'm really happy you're enjoying the fic so far!
Sionnach-Airgid - Hehe, Obi needs that on a tee-shirt or something. Glad you like their silly bantering!
Obi is a lightsabre/blaster/debris/anything else dangerous magnet. And yes, he really does need a lecture on Murphy's Law.
Yeah, Sidious is bad news. Glad you liked the Acolytes; they're like a bunch of dark side, Force-wielding college kids. Thanks!

Really?! That's one of *my* favourite themes! My goodness, you're getting me so excited about this fic! I am really anxious to see where you take this story, not only in terms of plot, but also character-wise.
Anakin will…behave himself for the most part.
I am glad to hear that.
Dooku's going senile.
Put that down to old age, eh?
Thanks again for the huge comment, and I'm really happy you're enjoying the fic so far!
It was my pleasure, believe me. This is very quickly turning out to be one of my favourite AUs ever. [This *is* an AU, right?]

Hurray! : D

Thank you! : D I'm really glad you like it so much! And yes, this is an AU. I should probably mention that, but the subject line is already crowded as it is right now.
---------------------
Note: Sorry for the delay everyone; Sidious is not behaving (shocking, right? ) and that's holding up the writing. But I hope to have the next chapter done and posted within a week. Thanks again to everyone reading and/or commenting!

Updates galore! I'm so sorry. Chi is a bad reviewer, very bad. -_-;
I must make up for lost time.
Chapter 3 -
"Darth Hey-Look-I'm-Actually-A-Jedi"
LOL! Yes, we might want to avoid that one.
I loved Dooku's disapproval at being compared to Anakin. Maybe next time he'll remember to use the button. >_>;
I'm amused at all the discussion of clothing styles. Maybe Dooku can host next year's "What Not to Wear - Coruscant"!
I want to see Obi piloting a fanblade. I think he enjoys starships far more than he lets on!
The discussion about Qui-Gon's death was very potent. But I don't blame Obi-Wan for
being a little suspicious. Is Dooku just being grandfatherly because he's starved for
intelligent company, or does he have a Sithy agenda? Hmmm. 
Chapter 4 -
Darth Sarcasm again. Tee hee.
Hmm...Dooku's been talking about Obi-Wan to his Acolytes?
"Hm." Ventress responded, sounding unconvinced. "Aren't you also the only living Jedi
to have killed a Sith?"
"Yes." Obi-Wan responded truthfully, as there was no real good in pretending otherwise
if she already knew. "Though I would argue that only makes me a better Sith, not a worse
one." ~
The natives seem restless. And suspicious. Maybe Obi-Wan will have to beat one of them up to win their trust! 
Dooku expects Obi-Wan to get injured. I wonder what gave him that idea...
"I forget you are not one of my Acolytes, and at times you are so much like Qui-Gon I forget you are not my Padawan, either." At Obi-Wan's somewhat stunned expression, Dooku actually smiled.
Awwwwwww
Chapter 5 -
I giggled when Dooku accused Obi-Wan of showing off. I think he does, sometimes. I mean, c'mon, was it really necessary to jump into the middle of a gaggle of droids to fight Greivous? And there's that little wrist flippy thing he sometimes does with his lightsaber...
Of course Obi-Wan had to get himself injured!
"Where's my lightsabre?"
Dooku gave him a look. "Don't tell me Qui-Gon passed that trait to you as well." He commented, before glancing around as well.
"Did he get it from you?" Obi-Wan asked, raising an eyebrow inquisitively.
HAHAHAHAHA*cough*.
Anyway, keep up the good work, and I hope you update soon! *dangling on the cliff*

Chiral - Hehe, don't worry about it.
Wow, Dooku hosting a fashion show is quite possibly one of the strangest and most amusing ideas I've heard in awhile. Obi and Skorr would have to be on it too, so they could disagree on everything.
Obi should get his Fanblade next chapter. And about Dooku, you'll find out... Eventually.
Hehe, he might have to lay the smackdown the Acolytes eventualy, if they don't start behaving. 
Yeah, Obi's a shameless show-off sometimes, and he probably doesn't even realize he's doing it. Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you're liking the story!
--------------------------------
Notes: Hurray, finally to chapter six! This chapter gave me fits. Sidious and Asajj refused to behave, so the scenes with them took forever... And quite a bit of the chapter was entirely rewritten. @_@ With any luck though, you'll all like this chapter. It's long.
Also, there's a bit of A/P at the end. Poor Padmé hadn't shown her face in a single fic of mine so far, and so an excuse to add her and fit it with the plot was too good to pass up. I don't usually write romance though, so hopefully it's not too bad. ;P
Like usual, I spell-checked and did a quick look through, but not much else, so if there are any really weird errors that's probably why.
---------------------------------
Deceptions
chapter 6
'Not good.' Obi-Wan thought as he followed Dooku down the hall, trying to keep up with the much taller Sith. They were rushing through the fortress towards the reception hall, which, when Dooku had told him of their destination, had prompted Obi-Wan to ask why a secret Sith fortress needed a reception hall. Dooku had found the question very amusing and admitted he didn't have an answer.
But now neither of them were speaking, as even their usual dry humor had failed them. Obi-Wan was pointedly reminding himself that a Jedi didn't feel fear, no matter if they were on their way to meet a Sith Master that would probably find out they were a spy and kill them. No reason to be apprehensive about that, after all.
He didn't think Dooku was too pleased with the entire thing either, as if Sidious found out that Obi-Wan was only faking being a Sith, then surely he would realize Dooku was in on it. Then they would both be in a very bad situation, which Obi-Wan had yet to come up with a solution to besides, 'fight him and hope we win.'
The only bit of hope was that Sidious was indeed as dense as he'd acted in the cafe when they'd first met, and didn't see through their lies again. Obi-Wan thought that was unlikely; he wondered if Sidious had just been drunk or something their last meeting.
Reaching out carefully with the Force to see how much farther they had to go, he realized they had almost reached Sidious already; the air felt heavy, and the Force was whispering soft warnings to him that he ignored, albeit with a bit of effort. He was also vaguely amused to realize that all four Acolytes were together in the same room, as far away from the reception hall as they could get. "Your Acolytes are hiding." He commented, breaking the silence.
"They do that." Dooku said without looking back, in a tone that was an odd mix of amusement and resigned dismay. "At least it keeps them from doing anything foolish in front of him. Ventress is the only one brazen enough to speak to him directly, though I suppose her nerve has failed her today."
"Can my nerve fail me as well?" Obi-Wan asked, earning a glance back from Dooku, who seemed amused.
"My apologies, Obi-Wan, but you're going to have to be brave." The Sith responded. "And then you may lord it over the Acolytes."
"And that will make it worth it." Obi-Wan said, quite obviously believing the exact opposite. "Dooku, is there anything I should know before we get ourselves killed?"
"You're so optimistic." Dooku commented, stopping walking and turning back towards his apprentice. "However, yes. First and most importantly, try not to be sarcastic."
Obi-Wan raised his eyebrows. "Why would I ever be sarcastic?" He asked, his tone perfectly sincere.
"Your guess is as good as mine." Dooku said, playing along and shrugging elegantly before continuing. "In addition to quelling the sarcasm and biting comments for a short time, you might do well to simply not say anything if you can help it. Certainly don't talk unless he speaks to you directly."
"I wasn't planning on making small talk." Obi-Wan responded, crossing his arms and wishing for a moment he had his Jedi robes, so he could stick his hands in the sleeves.
Dooku nodded in response, not really listening as he was apparently thinking about what else to add. "Oh, and bowing isn't proper enough." He said after a moment. "You'll be expected to kneel."
"Must I?" Obi-Wan asked, with more than a hint of exasperation.
"Yes, Obi-Wan." Dooku responded, slightly amused at the Knight's tone. "Sith couldn't settle for simply bowing, after all; that would be far too Jedi-like."
Obi-Wan sighed and had to resist the urge to roll his eyes. "And we mustn't have that."
"Of course not." Dooku agreed amiably before continuing. "Simply be respectful and answer any questions politely and simply. Force willing, he'll leave you alone."
"Unlikely."
Dooku raised an eyebrow. "You really are pessimistic."
"I prefer to call it being realistic." Obi-Wan responded, unfazed.
Dooku shrugged again, nodding. "I suppose that would be accurate, as chances are he is here specifically to speak with you."
"I feel honored." The Jedi responded, then considered that a moment. "Or, I suppose I would be, if he wasn't a Sith that will likely kill me if he realizes I'm not actually a Sith myself, which is probably what will happen."
"When you lay it out in such a way, perhaps we should both suffer an attack of nerves and hide with the Acolytes." Dooku suggested, but he again began leading the way towards Sidious.
"I thought your Acolytes were lacking in sense, or at least that some of them were, but perhaps they're more clever than I gave them credit for." Obi-Wan lamented, following the Sith and mentally preparing himself to meet Sidious again. Once had really been more than enough, after all.
Dooku seemed to be in agreement. "Perhaps." He stopped walking again a few moments later, outside of a double-door, and turned to look at Obi-Wan again. "Alright." He said. "I would let you go first, but Sith aren't fond of courtesy."
"I've noticed." Obi-Wan responded dryly. "And for once, it doesn't bother me. After you."
Dooku opened one of the doors, and they walked into the hall. The reception room was large and grand, with very high, arching ceilings lit with many chandeliers. The room, showing it's disuse, was empty save for the Sith standing quite ominously in the center of it.
Sidious turned to face them as they entered, looking oddly small and unintimidating in the cavernous room. The feeling of cold and dread was much less prominent than Obi-Wan remembered from the cafe, and he wondered if he'd simply gotten so used to darkside force-users in the short time he'd been around Dooku and the Acolytes that it wasn't bothering him as much. Not that he minded; it was much easier to maintain his Jedi serenity when the dark side was less overtly oppressive.
Taking his cues from Dooku, Obi-Wan followed him to the middle of the room and lowered himself to one knee as the former Jedi did, bowing his head and pretending the floor was very interesting. He carefully worked to block out the cold, twisting tendrils of the dark side that swirled around the Sith and reached towards him, as Sidious addressed Dooku.
"My apprentice." The Sith Lord spoke, his voice soft and icy in contrast to the dark, gravelly tone Obi-Wan remembered. Again, he was struck strongly with the feeling that he knew that voice from somewhere, and frowned slightly at the stone floor at his inability to place it. "Report."
"Everything is going well." Obi-Wan heard Dooku speak smoothly and confidently. "There was an unexpected complication of a clone battalion that was seemingly sent to Raxus Prime by mistake, but my acolyte Tann is taking care of explaining it's... Absence, and maintaning the cover of the base."
"I see." Sidious said, voice lowering menacingly. "An odd coincidence, that clones would be sent here, of all places."
"Indeed." Dooku responded, and when Sidious obviously wanted elaboration, he continued. "Neither of us, nor the Acolytes, know why they were sent here, or by who."
Obi-Wan was certain he felt the waver of half-truth through the Force at Dooku's words, but it was faint; he was almost telling the truth, after all. Still, if he had felt it was untrue, even with his only minimal connection to Dooku, surely Sidious had felt it as well.
But strangely Sidious apparently hadn't, or was unbothered by it, as he didn't comment. "And I presume the outcome of the battle was in our favor?"
"Yes." Dooku confirmed. "We lost all of the droids, but they were hardly in working condition to begin with. None of the Acolytes were seriously harmed, and as you can see, neither of us were either."
"The droids can be replaced." Sidious agreed dismissively. "Well done."
Dooku nodded gracefully at Sidious in response and there was silence a moment, before Obi-Wan felt Sidious' attention turn towards him. "Kenobi."
'Don't you usually call me Obi-Wan?' The Jedi wondered without thinking and felt shocked a moment later at the thought, not sure where it had come from. Sidious had certainly called him 'Kenobi' throughout their last meeting.
He shook the thought away, deciding he'd consider it later when he wasn't supposed to be trying to fool a Sith--assuming he'd have a later, of course. He gave a small nod to let Sidious know he'd heard him, not sure if he should answer or wait for Sidious to continue.
Apparently waiting was an acceptable choice, as Sidious didn't seem bothered when he spoke again. "What is your report?"
Obi-Wan was momentarily very confused. Was he supposed to have a different opinion than Dooku? Surely not, and he didn't after all.
"Everything is under control at the moment. A clone battalion was, apparently, mistakenly sent here, to Raxus Prime, but has been destroyed by a combination of Dooku, myself, the Acolytes, and the droids. Tann is overseeing covering up the disappearance of the clones." The Jedi told Sidious, with much more confidence than he actually felt as he simply repackaged Dooku's summary.
"That is exactly what he said." Sidious responded, sounding slightly annoyed.
"Yes. It is also the truth." Obi-Wan countered, looking up at the Sith and feeling a bit annoyed himself. He still couldn't recognize the man, though his chin did look oddly familiar, not that Obi-Wan was in the habit of recognizing people by their chins.
Sidious considered that, long enough that the Knight was beginning to become concerned his comment had been a bit too snarky, before the Sith finally spoke again. "Get out of here, Kenobi."
That had certainly not been the response he was expecting, and for a moment he felt almost panicked, certain Sidious had seen through their facade and was simply giving him a head-start to run. But no, it seemed that he'd simply been dismissed, and rather casually too. In fact, he was almost slightly offended at just how casual it had been, but Obi-Wan was certainly not about to argue and got to his feet.
He crossed the room quickly but cast a glance backwards as he reached the door, hesitating slightly; he suddenly wasn't certain whether to leave as he'd been told, or stay. Surely if he had been sent away, Sidious simply wanted to speak to Dooku alone about something, and it wasn't that they'd been found out. Otherwise, Obi-Wan doubted he would have been sent gallivanting on his way. But still, he felt oddly reluctant to leave Dooku with the other Sith, and he realized with a slight sense of dismay that it was the same feeling he had when he was with Anakin, or another Jedi; the feeling of loyalty and protectiveness, which were certainly not things he was supposed to be feeling for a Sith he was simply stuck with for the time being.
But there was nothing he would gain by angering Sidious, and so reluctantly Obi-Wan opened the door and left the room, stepping out into the hallway and suddenly finding himself face-to-face with Ventress. Blinking once in surprise at the fact that he hadn't sensed her, he quickly settled for scowling at her as he shut the door. "What do you want?"
Ventress, who had been not-so-subtly trying to catch a glance into the room before Obi-Wan shut the door, smiled icily at him. "I see you're still alive."
"I hadn't noticed." Obi-Wan responded, brushing past her as if he had something more interesting to be doing than talking to her. He didn't really, but he started towards his suite in hopes of finding one. Unfortunately for him, Ventress followed.
"For a Jedi, you really are flippant." Ventress commented, easily matching his pace. "Aren't you supposed to be cordial?"
"This is cordial." Obi-Wan said, looking over at her. He didn't miss how she'd called him a Jedi; obviously, she was attempting to goad him into denying it, so he decided to ignore it. Of course, the proper Sith thing to do was probably to beat her over the head with his lightsabre hilt for being so insubordinate, but Obi-Wan really couldn't bring himself to do such a thing for multiple reasons. No matter how satisfying it might be.
"I suppose." The Acolyte drawled amiably, still wandering along beside him as if they were friends. She suddenly stopped, and when Obi-Wan ignored her and continued on walking, she reached out and grabbed him by the arm.
He stopped immediately, turning towards her and looking down at her hand, then back at her eyes. Throwing the Force behind his glare in a way that made it quite clear he was not amused in the slightest, he lowered his voice and tried to appear intimidating. "I suggest you remove your hand before I do it for you."
Ventress smiled coolly at him but promptly let go. "A good attempt." She said, tilting her head slightly to the side. "But not good enough, Jedi." She took a step back, gazing appraisingly at him before locking eyes with him intently. "I don't understand how you have convinced Master Dooku of your allegiance to the Sith, but know you don't fool me, Jedi."
"I suppose it's a good thing I don't particularly care if you believe me." Obi-Wan told her, shrugging casually as if the conversation was a waste of time, when in reality his patience was beginning to wear thin, especially considering he remember having nearly the same conversation with Skorr a few hours earlier. "Don't you have somewhere to be?"
"Not at the moment." Ventress responded, unbothered by his seemingly indifferent attitude. Either she wasn't as quick to get the hint as Skorr or she was purposefully ignoring it, which seemed more likely. "At least nothing more important than tormenting a Jedi who's pretending, poorly, to be a Sith."
"I wish I could say I don't have better things to do than torment an Acolyte who pretends, poorly, to be a Sith, but I do." Obi-Wan responded, turning away from her to resume his walk down the hall.
She immediately grabbed his arm and pulled him back again, all pretenses of calm gone as she suddenly became a whirlwind of anger of malevolence. "You are not taking me as seriously as you really should be." She warned. "Don't underestimate me. I wouldn't want it to be too easy, after all, or it wouldn't be nearly so impressive."
Obi-Wan pondered momentarily whether he should retaliate or simply continue to act as though this was all just an annoyance to him, and decided on the latter as he reminded himself again that he was still a Jedi, and he was not to act in anger even though it would be proper for a Sith and even though Ventress really deserved it.
"I'll keep that in mind." He said, allowing his tone to become almost lazy. "After all, it is so important to me that you look impressive to Dooku."
Ventress scowled darkly at him, but rather than responding, she simply shoved him away before storming down the hall dramatically, her skirt sweeping along the floor behind her. The Knight raised his eyebrows slightly, a bit uncertain of Ventress' sanity even compared to the other Sith and Acolytes he knew of, and wondering what Dooku would say about the strange conversation.
He was about to continue towards his suite when he felt Dooku's Force signature nearing, so he decided to wait a few minutes for the Sith to catch up. A short time later, Dooku appeared around the corner, looking no worse for the wear than when Obi-Wan had left him.
"That went well enough." Dooku informed him at the questioning look, which he then followed with his own. "You look disheveled. I wasn't gone that long."
Obi-Wan scowled at him for the insinuation, even though it hadn't been serious, and proceeded to recount his discussion with Ventress as they began towards Obi-Wan's room again. The Jedi finished his story a minute or so later as they reached his door, and he turned slightly to look at Dooku. "Did I offend her in some way, or is that simply the way Dark Jedi are?"
"That's simply the way she is." Dooku responded, with a slight sigh. "She's probably quite jealous; she was the closest of my Acolytes to becoming my apprentice, after all."
"She still is." Obi-Wan reminded him pointedly, pressing his hand against the scanner on his door. "Though I must ask why you would have chosen her, of all the Acolytes. It couldn't have been her charming personality."
Dooku chuckled. "No." He agreed. "I meant it when I said you would be better to have around."
"After seeing my competition, I am not flattered." Obi-Wan responded, leading the way into the room as the door opened.
Dooku looked amused, taking a seat at Obi-Wan's desk as the Knight began to pace slowly. "There is another reason Ventress is so hostile towards you, you know."
"Oh?" Obi-Wan asked, raising an eyebrow again as he paused his pacing a moment. "Enlighten me."
"She's attracted to you." Dooku said, as it was obvious.
Obi-Wan just looked at him for a moment, before sighing and resuming walking. "Oh, wonderful." He finally said.
"She's lovely once you get to know her." Dooku continued lightly, with a slightly mischievous expression. "She's like a stubborn, bad tempered, sharp-tongued kitten. You two would match nicely."
Obi-Wan gave him a dark look for that. "Don't get any ideas."
"Why would I get any ideas?" Dooku asked, doing a poor job of feigning innosense.
Obi-Wan ignored him, changing the subject. "What happened with Sidious?"
"The usual." Dooku responded with an elegant shrug, and just as he had before, Obi-Wan felt he wasn't telling the whole truth. "He gave me information on where to strike next, more plans and goals for the confederacy, and such."
The Jedi was sure there was more to it than that, but let it go for the moment. "Is he really so dense?" He asked instead, incredulously. "I don't know how we managed to fool him a second time, in person. Over a holo-communication, perhaps, but not like this."
"To be honest, I'm rather confused as well." Dooku admitted, watching his apprentice pace the room. Suddenly, Obi-Wan stopped, turning back to look at him intently.
"Who is he, Dooku? I recognize his voice. He is someone I know, and someone I know well, but I can't make the connection." The Jedi said, folding his arms and regarding the Sith seriously.
Dooku shook his head. "I can't tell you, Obi-Wan."
Obi-Wan frowned, not bothering to hide that he was displeased with that answer. "And why not, Dooku? You were going to tell me before, as part of the deal. You still are supposed to reveal this information. I am at a disadvantage in this entire ruse if I don't know how it all fits together."
Dooku shook his head again calmly. "You don't need to know. I will take care of everything. Trust me."
"We have been over this; I don't trust you. And it is because of reasons like this." Obi-Wan told him, frustrated. "You're making it incredibly difficult to believe that you are honest in any of your intentions, if you won't help at even a basic level."
Dooku frowned at him as well. "You'll simply tell your precious Council, and it will quickly get to Darth Sidious that I told you who he was. Then we will both end up dead. Does that sound pleasant to you?"
"Don't patronize me. Of course not." Obi-Wan said, his own tone rather patronizing on it's own. "But the Council can keep a secret, Dooku."
"I have no faith in that." Dooku responded.
Obi-Wan was about to argue, but decided he would get no where discussing that point. Dooku's opinion of the Council was set, and he doubted he could change it. "I could simply not inform the Council."
"You could." Dooku agreed, though he gave his apprentice a pointed look. "But I couldn't see that happening. I could, however, easily see you giving me your word you wouldn't tell them, and then cheerfully doing it anyway."
Obi-Wan was rather offended at that, ignoring the part of his mind that admitted the Sith had a point. "I'm not you, Dooku."
"No, but at times you're close enough." Dooku responded, and Obi-Wan didn't know what to say to that.
The Count stood up, sweeping past Obi-Wan to the door before looking back at him. "I suggest you get some rest; you look terrible, you know." He commented, then he was gone.
Obi-Wan blinked dazedly at the door, wondering exactly what had just happened, and if he was the only sane person left in the fortress.
*************************
Padmé Amidala sat silently, still and serene like a doll as she waited. She knew others sometimes found it strange how she could wait so statue-like, but unlike many people, Padmé wasn't fond of pacing. Most likely, it was because her shoes were hardly ever built for walking, let alone for any unnecessary treading of tracks in the carpet.
The Senator was more than willing to be patient, as well, as she was waiting for her husband to come home. He'd been at the Temple all day, and from the call he'd managed to sneak to her she knew something was going on, but had no idea what.
Palpatine was away currently on a diplomatic effort in the mid rim, but with Mas Ameeda simply keeping order in his place the Senate was able to discuss a few minor matters successfully, and so while Anakin had been at the Temple, Padmé had spent the entire day in discussion about things that had no real significance. Of course, this had required an elaborate gown, and so she was still wearing a floor-length, emerald green dress with fitted sleeves and a wide skirt, decorated in an intricate pattern of iridescent beads. Her hair had been piled in top of her head in a complicated series of pins and clips, but she had undone all of it upon hearing Anakin would be arriving shortly. He liked her hair down, after all.
She sensed Anakin before she heard his speeder park outside her balcony, and she immediately stood and crossed the room to meet him as he entered the apartment.
"I can tell you didn't have a good day." Padmé said upon taking one look at her husband's expression.
Anakin's turbulent emotions smoothed slightly at Padmé's gentle tone, and he sighed slightly as he swept into her apartment. "No, I didn't. You won't believe it."
Padmé tilted her head slightly and she followed him into the apartment, her long skirts bushing across the floor. She discreetly kicked her shoes off to the side. "I don't know; I've heard some unbelievable things, Ani." She smiled at him as he turned back towards her, and she reached up to touch him gently on the cheek. "What is it?"
Anakin sighed again. "I'm not supposed to tell you, but I don't care. The Council gave me an update on Obi-Wan's meeting with Dooku."
"Is he alright?" Padmé asked as she led Anakin to the couch and they sat down, suddenly concerned she'd come across the reason for Anakin's mood.
"Yeah, he's alright, Padmé." Anakin confirmed, and Padmé smiled in relief. Anakin was her husband, and her favorite of 'her two Jedi', as Dormé called them, but she had developed a strong friendship with Obi-Wan as well. "But the meeting didn't go very well." Anakin continued, "Apparently, the second Sith, Darth Sidious, showed up."
Padmé was shocked for a moment. "What? Just like that? Was it a trap all along?"
"Oddly enough, I still don't know, and neither does anyone else." Anakin said, sighing and shaking his head. "From what I understand, Dooku and Obi-Wan came up with some story about Obi-Wan joining the Sith, and Darth Sidious bought it."
"Wait," Padmé said, holding up a hand gracefully. "What? That... Doesn't make sense."
"You're telling me. Who'd believe Obi-Wan was a Sith, anyway?" Anakin said, rolling his eyes and adopting an oddly believable Coruscanti accent. "'Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to kill you now. You know, as I'm a Sith and all, and--oh dear, I don't know how to do Force Lightning yet. Would you mind if I killed you with my lightsabre instead?'"
Padmé snorted in a rather undignified manner before dissolving into a fit of giggles. Anakin smiled at her as she attempted to compose herself, which took a few moments. "Okay," She said, once the giggles had stopped. "I'm sorry. Please continue." She said, once again the calm, authoritative Senator.
Of course, this simply caused Anakin to start his own quiet giggle fit, which he valiantly tried to hide. Padmé had a difficult time not falling into another bout herself, and had to bite her lip and stare at the ceiling until Anakin's Jedi training won out and he got control of himself.
"Okay." Anakin said, trying to remember where they were in their conversation. "So Obi-Wan is undercover as a Sith now, and apparently he's going to be finding out information about both the Sith and the Separtists at the same time, or something. The Council didn't really give me details."
Padmé nodded, frowning slightly. "And Dooku?"
"I don't know. I think they worked out a deal or something, so they're working together." Anakin said, shrugging and shaking his head. "It sounds insane."
"That's one way of describing it." Padmé agreed quietly, sighing. She looked seriously at her husband. "Is there anything we can do?"
Anakin shook his head, his frustration obvious. "No. In fact, I am 'not, under any circumstances, to go seeking out Obi-Wan, Dooku, the Sith, or anyone else', or something like that." He sighed. "And I'm stuck with Master Mundi until Obi-Wan comes back."
Padmé nodded, considering this for a moment, before smiling up at him coyly. "Has this 'Master Mundi' given you a time you need to go back to the Temple?"
Anakin just looked at her a moment, before a small grin grew on his face. "No, I think everyone forgot about that." He answered, reaching out to twirl Padmé's dark curls around his fingers. "Why, did you have plans?"
"I had a few ideas..." Padmé said, placing her hands over his and pulling him gently to his feet as she stood. "Why don't we go to my bedroom, and I'll explain them."
Anakin's grin just got wider. "Lead the way, milady."
