Summary:
Master Dooku steps in to offer to train Anakin Skywalker.
Sequel:
Protégé: Padawans
Chapter 1
"He will not be trained," said Master Windu. His voice was deep and the words seemed very heavy.
Anakin couldn't believe his ears. For this, he'd left his mom behind with Watto? He could tell Master Windu didn't like him any better than Obi-Wan did, but he'd done all their tests. He'd done them perfectly! ...Just about.
"No?" Qui-Gon sounded incredulous. Qui-Gon was nice. Qui-Gon had said he should be trained, although Anakin was starting to wonder whether that was a good idea, if most Jedi were like the Council, and sat in shadowy rooms asking questions and making ominous remarks.
"He is too old. There is already too much anger in him," Master Windu went on.
Anakin scowled before he caught himself. Of course he was angry. They'd put him through all those tests and then said it didn't matter because he was too old? They knew how old he was before they started!
"He is the Chosen One," Qui-Gon said with some heat. "You must see it."
"Clouded, this boy's future is." Anakin still couldn't figure out what species Master Yoda was. The old green being nodded, wispy white hair snagging on the edge of his robe. "Masked by his youth."
First he was too old, now his future was masked by his youth? He'd thought Jedi were supposed to be wise. He didn't think that meant not making any sense.
Qui-Gon drew himself up, opening his mouth.
A deeper voice than Master Windu's came from the shadows by the door. "I will train the boy, then. I take Anakin Skywalker as my Padawan learner."
The Council's heads came up; Qui-Gon whirled, and Anakin thought that Obi-Wan had huffed a little, as if he hadn't been expecting this but thought he should have, before he turned too.
The owner of the voice strode out of the shadows. He wore all dark brown, and was tall and dark-haired with touches of silver, and his robe draped from his shoulders like a prince's cloak and whispered after his boots along the smooth floor. He paced across the room, and Anakin thought he moved like Qui-Gon, relaxed and easy and sure he was in the right place, but the whole effect was much more intimidating. He stopped and looked down at Anakin. "Unless you refuse me?"
Anakin stared up at him. "Who
are
you?"
Qui-Gon coughed slightly. "Ah, Anakin, this is Master Dooku. He's a very respected Jedi Master, and he's done an excellent job at training several past padawans." His voice was slightly wry, but his eyes twinkled a little as he looked from Dooku to Anakin. "Including me."
"Oh!" Well, that was a good thing, then... wasn't it? "Pleased to meet you," Anakin said, offering a hand.
Master Dooku gave him what Anakin felt was a quietly doubtful look, like maybe he hadn't been expecting Anakin to remember his manners under the circumstances. He shook hands after a moment. "Likewise." His voice was very dry indeed.
"He is also," Master Yoda said, "not invited to this meeting!"
Dooku shrugged and bowed in the same sleek motion. "I followed Qui-Gon in. No one disputed my presence until now."
"Because
quiet
, you kept, Apprentice," Yoda retorted tartly.
"It was not necessary for me to speak, then. It is now. Does anyone contest my right to train this boy?"
"Already said he would not be trained, we did," Yoda grumbled.
"Yet the Council is not in charge of providing training once a child is taken as a Padawan." Dooku looked down at Anakin. "And he is, as it happens, old enough for that."
"I don't think it is wise," Master Windu said, "to start training him so late. He's young for a Padawan, but old enough, that's true. But he is some years past the age we've found preferable for the start of Jedi training." But Anakin noticed that Master Windu didn't say yes, I contest it, and thought that might mean something.
"The age we have found preferable," Dooku mused. "Master Yoda, how old were you when you began Jedi training?"
Master Yoda barked a laugh. "Adult, yes. But many centuries ago that was!"
"And it is only in recent centuries that we have begun training so early as a rule. Many of our greatest Jedi of the past began their training as adults, even as you did, my Master."
"Reasons there were for making the change," Master Yoda said. "And not an adult is Anakin, either. Older than the time it is easiest to learn, old enough to have had other things in life become dear to him, not old enough to know in full what he is giving up."
"I knew when I left," Anakin protested. "I left my
mom
. I'm not a little kid. I knew what that meant!"
"Master Yoda is nearly nine hundred years old," murmured Dooku, "and spends as much of his time as possible with children under six... or the equivalent stage of development for other species. He has an unusual perspective."
"Well, he doesn't have to act like I don't know anything," Anakin grumbled, looking around the Council circle fiercely. "You knew how old I was before you tested me. Master Qui-Gon said I could be a Jedi, and Master -- Master Dooku thinks so too.
He
wants to train me. And I'll -- I'll let him." He looked up at Dooku suddenly, anxious. "Is there anything special I'm supposed to say?"
"There's a... bonding ceremony," Dooku said, sounding very slightly strangled. "Let us begin."
"The Council," Master Windu interrupted in his deep voice, making Anakin glare a little, "has not given its permission."
"The Council," Dooku retorted dryly, "may advise all it likes, may even command, but the choice of a padawan is a Master's alone in the end." He turned back to Anakin and held out his hands.
"This explains so much," Obi-Wan breathed.
Anakin resisted the urge to stick out his tongue, which would be rude, and put his hands in Dooku's instead.

"This explains so much," Obi-Wan breathed.
Yes it does, indeed! We have an inkling where Qui-Gon's rebellous nature comes from! Hee!
A very interesting start,
PK
! I wonder what this will mean for the futures of both Dooku and Anakin. Both originally ended up Sith Lords, but perhaps putting them together will alter their courses and take them somewhere else. While Dooku and Qui-Gon were more fringe Jedi, Obi-Wan was more inclined to stay in the main stream, which was difficult for Anakin. The differences this brings about should prove intriguing!
Great job!

Wow what a fresh and unique perspective. Dooku taking Anakin, this ought to be interesting, and I doubt Dooku cares so much about bending the rules, under his tutelage, Anakin might very well thrive. You've definitely got me hooked, really excited to see where this will go.

I've reviewed elsewhere but it was so much fun reading it again that I had to do seconds. Really looking forward to where you go with this.

Oh Fun!
I want to see how it will all turn out especially because the different types of missions
he might go, or the training, and Dooku might not turn, jinn might not die, and Ani and Obi might still become some sort of friends...
i loved Obi-wan's last sentence... now we know where jinn's rebelliousness comes from!
=D
I am looking forward to the changes... and all characters must change even and especially Obi-wan because even if jinn dies he will have more time to heal, and be able to enjoy his time as knight before having to train someone... so his attachment to rules might have to gain anoither perspective since he won't have to compensate for any rule breakers! *cough*Jinn*cough*Ani*cough*

Oh, lovely!
I love Master Dooku's dry amusement at Anakin's blunt and open friendly manner. I imagine Dooku will have to stifle quite a few Anakin-inspired guffaws in order to maintain his famous dignified manner.
And Obi-wan's parting comment is priceless!
This AU could develop in so many intriguing directions. I can't wait to see where you go with it. Thanks for sharing!

Goodness, thank you everyone for the kind comments! PK will be posting Chapter 2 any second now.
AngelQueen
Qui-Gon has a rebellious streak? Goodness, I don't know what you mean.
Yes, the differences between Obi-Wan and Dooku will definitely have an effect on Anakin. If nothing else, he's definitely going to get plenty of lightsaber practice.
Jinngerbread
Thank you, we hope you continue to like the direction! Dooku seems to do well training slightly rebellious padawans, so the idea of him with Anakin was just irresistible!
leia_naberrie
Thank you! They really are fun, aren't they?
ClaudiaR
There you go again, calling Qui-Gon a rule-breaker! I just don't know where it comes from... <cough> I think Obi-Wan will enjoy this little change of events, letting him get to know Anakin without any lingering bitterness towards Qui-Gon or the pressure of being a Master.
nada_smith
As you can see in the next chapter, Dooku isn't quite sure how to deal with his new padawan. Both of them will definitely have some learning to do! Hopefully they'll manage it without too much collateral damage.
katriene
And here I was afraid we'd become predictable.
Hope you enjoy the rest of it!
MagicToo
Glad to have caught your attention. Stick around and we'll show you.
Gabri_Jade
Ohh, right, PK told you about this one!
We're glad you like it. We're posting it to LJ as well, in case you'd find it easier to, er, find.
JediKaren
Thanks! Will do.
Lisbev
Yay! We shall hope to reel you in with further chapters and... okay, I think the metaphor needs to stop there. We're rather fond of Dooku ourselves.
If you're looking for stories where he's a good guy (at least part of the time), there are some other samples in our profiles.

Protégé: Chosen
Chapter 2
"I take you, Anakin Skywalker, as my padawan learner," Dooku recited formally, looking the boy in the eye as the rest of the room disappeared from around him. He'd recited this oath four times, the first time with Qui-Gon, now standing as a powerful Jedi Master with a padawan of his own beside him. The second, elsewhere in the galaxy, fighting to protect the innocent and defend the way of life Dooku had taught him about. The third was somewhere in this building, even now patiently teaching a roomful of Jedi initiates how to defend themselves in a perilous world. The fourth....
The words almost didn't come for a moment. The fourth was dead, horribly dead, and if he'd trained her better....
But the boy wasn't a part of that, and he needed training. Dooku finished the oath resolutely.
There was a moment of silence.
Anakin stared up at Dooku with wide eyes.
Obi-Wan leaned forward hurriedly and began whispering in the boy's ear. Anakin swallowed and began to repeat his words. "I accept you as my Master...."
Unorthodox it might have been, but they managed to finish. At the end of it, Master Yoda heaved a huge sigh. "Wish you well, we do," he said quietly.
Dooku bowed. "Thank you, Master." He did mean it, arguments aside. "Are we dismissed?"
"Much you have to do now," Yoda said. "Go, all of you." He made a shooing motion with his stick. One or two of the Council members looked as if they might like to protest, but no one quite did.
"That was unexpected," Qui-Gon said, after they were halfway down the hall. "I thought you said you weren't planning to take another Padawan."
"I was following the promptings of the Force," Dooku said coolly. "Evidently I should be training him -- planned or not." He glanced sideways at Qui-Gon. "Besides, I suspected you were about to do something foolish."
Qui-Gon met Dooku's eyes, raised his eyebrows and said nothing for a moment, then, "Well, my Padawan seems to be under the impression I argue with the Council too much, but I'm not sure how much of an improvement he found it to have you take it up instead."
Dooku snorted. "I was arguing with the Council before he was born."
Qui-Gon smiled. "I know."
"You still don't do it enough," Dooku added, making Obi-Wan's eyes widen alarmingly. Dooku looked down at his new padawan appraisingly. "Well... Anakin. You seem spirited enough, at least."
"Um... thank you, sir." Spirited or not, Anakin looked a little daunted by this latest development.
"Master," Dooku corrected, not unkindly.
"...Master." Anakin frowned slightly.
"The Council was right about one thing, Padawan. You're coming to Jedi training much later than the other younglings. You have much to learn to catch up even to your age group, and most of them are not yet padawans." Dooku sighed. "Fortunately I relish a challenge. Are you a hard worker?"
Anakin tensed up a little more. "Yes...."
Dooku eyed him. "You seemed to have enough to say before the Council. Well. We'll have to get started immediately. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, if you'll excuse us?"
"By all means." Qui-Gon waved them off, offering Dooku a slight bow and Anakin a reassuring smile.
They heard the faint chime of Qui-Gon's commlink as they walked away, Anakin still frowning slightly.
Dooku steered the boy rapidly through the various administrative details of his initiation into the Jedi Order -- clothing, the traditional boy-Padawan haircut for human males, the request for new quarters. Anakin was strangely quiet, which would have been fine if it were a peaceful and respectful sort of silence, but it seemed wary and resentful instead, and Dooku didn't like it. He tried not to allow this to put him on edge, but the warning about anger came back to him, and he wondered abruptly if he should have taken that more seriously after Komari....
...He wasn't failing to take it seriously, and the urgings of the Force had been quite distinct, if perplexing.
The new quarters were to be available by nightfall, but meanwhile Dooku took Anakin back to his currently assigned rooms, with it in mind to begin a lesson. "Sit," he said, and suited action to word by lowering himself to the floor.
He glanced up and frowned. Anakin had remained standing, and his shoulders were set with a level of tension that appeared likely to take up at least the first few hours of any attempt at instruction.
After a moment, Anakin folded somewhat abruptly, mimicking Dooku's position approximately but with no relaxation whatsoever. "Am I supposed to ask you questions?"
"You are a padawan learner now. Your primary task for the next decade or so is to learn how to be a Jedi. To do that, you will need to ask questions. There will be times, of course, I will expect you to devise how to solve a problem yourself, without questions, and particularly at first there will be times you must obey me without question." A pause, then almost amused, "Which is a roundabout way of saying you can ask me a question now if you wish."
"Uh," said Anakin, "good." He swallowed, and then asked in a rush, "Why am I supposed to call you Master? Everybody here keeps saying it, but it's-- I know Qui-Gon won me on a bet with Watto but he said Jedi don't keep slaves."
"Qui-Gon
won
you?" Dooku repeated, eyes narrowing on a rush of anger. Slavery was antithetical to the very core of a Jedi's character. He fought the emotion back with some difficulty and shook his head briskly. "You misunderstand. 'Master' is...well, a two-folded word. Jedi Master is a rank that I, Qui-Gon, everyone on the Council, we all have obtained. It indicates we have reached a mastery in the Force. But so far as you are concerned, it is simply a word for teacher. You are a padawan learner, I am your teacher, and so you should call me by the title 'master' as a matter of respect."
"Qui-Gon said you taught him," Anakin said after a moment. "That's worth being respectful about. Master."
Dooku lifted an eyebrow and said dryly, "I'm so glad you agree. Qui-Gon was my very first padawan, actually, a very long time ago."
Anakin's eyes widened a little. "This isn't like Master Yoda being several centuries old is it?"
Dooku almost laughed at that. "No, Master Yoda has gone well beyond most of the Order on that. I'm only in my seventies, thank you. I wasn't a great deal older than Qui-Gon when I started training him."
Anakin looked a bit sheepish. "Sorry. It's just, after that, I wasn't sure what you'd have meant by a long time."
"Jedi tend to take a...fairly long-term view of the universe. Some Jedi in particular focus too much on that to the exclusion of the moment."
"Oh. ...Why?"
"There are two aspects to the Force. The Unifying Force is concerned with the longer-term view. It will lend itself to visions of the future, for example. The Living Force is concerned with the here and now, the way beings interact with each other within the Force. Because it has smaller immediate influences, many discount it as being less significant than the Unifying Force. But that is simply a misunderstanding of the true nature of the Living Force."
Anakin frowned. "How could people inter... interacting with each other
not
be important?"
"Not simply people, Padawan, but all beings in this universe. The interaction between two
insects
still has an impact on the Force."
Anakin knew some people who were insects, but he figured Dooku... Master Dooku, all right then... probably meant the little kind that couldn't talk. "That sounds like it'd be really hard to keep track of."
"It is, but the benefits are more than worth it. For example, true mastery in the Living Force gives you an awareness of your own body and your opponent that can make you an exceptional duelist." A faint smile. "A particular hobby of mine."
"I like flying," Anakin offered somewhat uncertainly.
"You'll be amazed at how much your reflexes will improve with greater awareness of the Living Force, then."
"They're pretty good now. But that would be wizard."
Dooku smiled indulgently. "You'll find 'pretty good' for a civilian is generally far below even average for a Jedi."
Anakin shrugged. "Watto said humans weren't supposed to be able to podrace."
"Podrace?" Dooku repeated with a slight frown. He'd never heard of it. The border planets got to some odd practices sometimes. For that matter, he wasn't entirely sure
which
planet his new padawan was from. Not that it mattered anymore, except that the boy had spent more time there than average. "Well, you won't have time for frivolous pursuits any longer. Jedi training is very rigorous. Now, we should--"
He cut off with an impatient glance at the door as it chimed. "Come."
The door slid open to reveal Qui-Gon. Anakin made a sort of abortive leap upward that could almost have passed for takeoff, then settled back somewhat anxiously to sit cross-legged on the floor until Dooku stood up.
"Qui-Gon," Dooku said. "Did you need something?"
Qui-Gon smiled, eyes sliding off his former Master to rest on the boy. "I came to say goodbye to Anakin, actually. Obi-Wan and I have been ordered to Naboo."
"With Padmé?" Anakin asked eagerly.
Qui-Gon chuckled softly. "With the entire royal entourage, yes. We've been ordered to escort the Queen back and try to investigate this Sith."
Dooku didn't move a muscle, but his entire posture somehow shifted to alert and almost predatory. "Sith?"
Qui-Gon's eyes flicked back to Dooku, and he grew very serious. "Yes. I encountered a... warrior on Tatooine whom I believe to have been a Sith. He seemed to be pursuing Queen Amidala."
Dooku raised one eyebrow. "Did he."
"So it appeared. He suddenly appeared just as we were about to take off from Tatooine, actually. Anakin, the Queen's handmaiden Padmé, and I were all returning to the ship. I fought him, briefly. He carried a red-bladed lightsaber, and he was very good with it."
Dooku studied him for a moment. "I'm coming with you," he declared, and turned to Anakin. "You should p-- no, you haven't had a chance to
un
pack yet. Bring your kit. One moment," he added to Qui-Gon, and vanished into his bedroom. He returned carrying little more than when he'd left. Anakin wondered if he'd just stuck a toothbrush in his utility belt or something.
Qui-Gon was looking at him with a touch of bemusement. "Is this when I'm just supposed to nod and say 'Yes, Master'?"
Dooku eyed him. "Yes. Set a good example for my new padawan."
"I'm fairly sure you are not assigned to this mission."
"I'm not assigned to any other one at the moment, either, and I ought to be on this one."
Qui-Gon hesitated only a moment more before shrugging and saying with a smile, "
I'm
certainly not going to turn down your help investigating the Sith. And if he shows up again, I'd just as soon have your lightsaber beside me!"

*giggles* Ah, the rebellous Master/Padawan line of Dooku. Anakin shouldn't worry, though. He'll find his niche soon enough.
Great update, PK!
I'd love to be added to the PM list!

Did someone say Qui-Gon was a rule breaker? I'd like to think of him as an improviser.
And as for Dooku, in my heart anyway, I didn't beleive he was a "real" bad guy. Seems the canon Dooku got suckered in & played by Sidious just like Anakin did.
I'm so nervous that they're all going to Naboo.
Great update
, & thanks for the PM.
