	What a nice way to start off the day! Obi and Siri are so cute together. Ahem, as far as Anakin is concerned... come on Obi! Wake up and smell the kaf! Your padawan is involved with Padme! Do something already, before it's too late! Sheesh! These fictional characters are all the same. They never do what you want them to. I guess that's why there's fan fiction. If you don't like the way a character thinks or behaves, you can always change it. -----signature----- How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis?

	I love you, Siri. Know that, should I die here, I die so that I may live in the Force forever. * Siri’s heart remembered hearing those words once before as Obi-Wan softly recited them, reliving a memory that was hers - so how could it be his? …know I love you. I let you go, even though I love you, for you are not mine to hold onto, only to hold. Come home, she recited in turn. His eyes snapped to hers as if remembering hearing her words before this moment. * I give my life to you – and he had reached into the flame. It flared hungrily and licked up his fingers, his hand, his arm until his entire being was bathed in light, a fire without heat and a fire that did not burn - a fire that illuminated rather than destroyed. I choose love. wonderful and what a revelation. They truly are always together. Lovely mush Excelent chapter -----signature----- writer and Star Wars fan FANART [link=http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/25793899]fanart[/link] stories in my bio

	She brushed a sudden tear away from her eyes…. … a tear moistened Obi-Wan’s lips as if from a face bent to his, a single tear that had fallen as if from another’s heart… …his heart smiled and his heart gave it back…a promise that both hearts would heal… “We kissed – we were at opposite ends of the galaxy but we kissed. Your lips were dry and cracked; your hair long and dirty; it was you, at that moment, it was you – really you.” Lovely! -----signature----- R.I.P John, Alex, Jason, and Christian Never forgotten Soldiers' Angels http://soldiersangels.org/ 2114 soldiers waiting for someone to care

	Bastet What a perfect way to end the day! I really loved this update, such perfect mush. Thank you – I’m so happy to have provided a good night story That was a wonderful scene where Obi finally figured out how he defeated the mask, you certainly have a gift with words. Thanks, much of that is word for word from the first story – it made a wonderful parallel, too, with how Obi fought the mask. Made you a “Siriwaner” eh? I’m glad I was able to draw you into that. GeneralKenobi7 Aw, I see you liked the “boy” line, too! I loved that. p_stotts Ahem, as far as Anakin is concerned... come on Obi! Wake up and smell the kaf! Your padawan is involved with Padme! Do something already, before it's too late! Sheesh! These fictional characters are all the same. They never do what you want them to. I guess that's why there's fan fiction. If you don't like the way a character thinks or behaves, you can always change it. . But if you change too much, too fast, you go OOC! That’s why this story is so careful in its build-up – too slow, perhaps, but thorough. MiralukaJedi Thank you as always for reading and enjoying! earlybird-obi-wan and what a revelation. This will really resonate in the climax of the sequel. Obi has his weapon now, he just hasn’t realized it or who to use it on. VaderLVR64 I'm glad you are enjoying it - man, you're one busy gal, aren't you? Gkilkenny: Siri is one lucky gal. Maybe they should tell Anakin about their relationship. It might help him put his into perspective Unfortunately, Anakin would not take the news at all well. Now. Believe me, Obi-Wan does not want him to find out. You readers wouldn’t like it either, but boy, would Palpy have a field day with it. raptor517 And it looks like Obi's got the force back! He does indeed, which means we’re drawing to a close on this story. Counting this chapter, I believe it’s nine – count ‘em, nine chapters. At least since it was ten, it should be nine (counts fingers….) Anyone else noticed the slow down on the boards...what's going on - DRL? Finals? Anyway, to those facing finals I wish you the best of luck. To those facing DRL may you kick it in the pants and get back to what's important - reading! Jedidas3 has emailed me she's hoping to find some time soon to visit and update her stories. As many of you know, her mother is ill and her time is quite taken up now with far more important things. She appreciates everyone's well wishes and she'll be back when she can to express that for herself. She also let me know I can share the PM version of her birthday story (If Wishes Were Obi's - yup, a naked Obi) if you beg nicely and promise not to harass her. Chapter 29. To Every Action – a Reaction Sith’s hells! The expletive exploded suddenly within the fighter’s cockpit, even as a hand slammed into the control panel just after entering hyperspace. A squawk of protest from Artoo was brushed off with a muttered apology, although the astromech’s dome remained swiveled towards the pilot. The young Jedi grimaced. He had thought he was at peace with his actions, especially after the Chancellor’s prior words of reassurance. He was at peace – until thoughts of his master intruded; that was when that peace fled – shattered and shredded like the lines of time and space around him, his usual awe at the beauty absent because the rainbow of lights reminded him of Obi-Wan and his master’s long ago revealed wonder and delight in that same sight. Thoughts of his master made him think. Anakin didn’t want to think, for to think meant to feel, and he would rather do neither at the moment. His hands knotted as if the action, small as it was, could wipe the images and sounds into the vast emptiness that surrounded him. I have only done as any Jedi would – I have protected the innocent who would suffer at his hands as you, my master, have suffered already. I have blotted out his evil by my hands. The psychic shock from Rattatak’s dead ghosts had been staved off by rage and purpose, now satisfied; it was now slowly insinuating into his heart and mind, within every aspect of his senses. Pictures formed and reformed within his mind’s eyes, coalescing into blood and tears; screams and despair shrieked and clawed in his ears, yet superimposed over the horror was always the face of one man. His master. That image was what kept the demons at bay yet, strangely enough, it was what woke the doubts that had once been laid to rest. It had had another effect as well; the sight of Obi-Wan’s frozen face when he had made his report had almost persuaded Anakin to temporarily abandon his quest. It had also helped to persuade him that what he had done was not so evil, not if the very mention of Aidus had prompted the distress so briefly visible. Some evil just could not be allowed to stand; some evil deserved to be stamped out and some evil deserved retribution. It was justice to his master and justice for his master. He had clearly woken his master up after too little sleep, or perhaps after a poor sleep. The few times he had needed to comm his master in the dead of night, Obi-Wan had never appeared that disheveled. The Jedi master had an uncanny ability to appear neat and unruffled at nearly all times, an ability that Anakin only occasionally envied. This last time had been different. His hair had been mussed and his face flushed, but it had been the response to his report that stayed in Anakin’s mind. His master’s reaction had been that of a man kicked in the gut – instinctive - an innate human reflex that could not be automatically overridden, even by all the self-control a Jedi could muster. There had been no way for Anakin to soften the blow had he even thought to do so, for he had not thought his news would so rattle his master. He had expected – relief. Satisfaction, perhaps. Pleasure, a possibility, even if unlikely and only fleeting. Not stunned silence; a fight to control his breathing or to stifle a cry of memory. Oh, Master…. ** Obi-Wan strode into the Council room a few minutes earlier than normal. Yoda and Mace were standing at one of the windows, overlooking the traffic. Together they turned and acknowledged his presence. “Content you look today, slept well last night did you?” Mace grinned and looked Obi-Wan up and down. So much for discretion, Obi-Wan thought with a sigh, wondering how Mace knew. He didn’t seem shocked or displeased. “Quite well other than a bit of a nasty flashback when Anakin comm’d in, but it’s the first I’ve had in a while. There’s not much to tell; I’ll wait for session. Master Windu, how?” “How what, Master Kenobi?” Mace was all innocence. He sobered right away, and gave Obi-Wan another searching look, and all rare humor was put aside. “I thought you were pretty much past the flashbacks by now – should you be even be back on Temple duty?” They were interrupted by the arrival of the rest of the Council. Mace gave Obi-Wan a look that told him they weren’t through discussing the subject, only postponing it. “Keep session waiting we should not,” Yoda said severely, nodding to Mace, his own manner betraying no hidden amusement only quiet speculation. Such considerations were soon put aside in the mundane business of the Council. They spent several hours going over battlefield reports, pending Senate bills and other items of similar nature. After a short recess, Mace nodded to Obi-Wan to speak. “I received a report from Anakin last night,” Obi-Wan said abruptly. He grinned wryly, recognizing that all eyes were on him showing varying degrees of interest and sympathy, all rather well camouflaged in the Force. “I admit – I was a little unsettled; I guess I haven’t totally got past it yet.” “Would it be easier if your padawan reported to another?” Adi asked, leaning forward. “Thank you, Master Gallia, but no. He is my padawan, as you say, and I am dealing with it rather well, I think, when I’m not surprised – or woken in the middle of a good sleep.” Obi-Wan ran a hand through his hair and sighed. “I admit I had a somewhat severe flashback, woken up from a sound sleep as I was. He was at Rattatak where Alpha and I – were imprisoned –but Ventress was absent. Aidus was there, however, and Anakin attempted to apprehend him. He resisted. My padawan was forced to kill him in self-defense. Anakin is continuing his search for Ventress.” “Unfortunate that is,” Yoda said, his bright eyes studying Obi-Wan. “Easier on you it is, though – in a trial you will not have to testify; details of your ordeal left unrevealed.” Obi-Wan paused in the midst of responding, shut his mouth with a quick snap and shook his head. Carefully, he said, “You may be right, but – I prefer to see justice pronounced by the courts rather than at the end of a lightsaber if at all possible.” Yoda nodded, letting out a little grunt of approval, and Obi-Wan realized Yoda had been testing him, or more likely, proving a point to the rest of the Council. He wasn’t offended in the least; the Council had a duty to be sure that all Jedi – any Jedi – was driven by the proper motivations at all times. Yoda, Mace, even Adi had spoken with him several times since his return, but his dealings with his fellow Council members had been mainly in Council discussing Jedi business, not Master Kenobi’s mental recovery. Almost as if to prove the point, Ki-Adi-Mundi spoke up just as he sat back in his seat, legs crossed and now relaxed. “I believe we have already noted that Master Kenobi has more than proved that his compassion and sense of justice is, if anything, heightened by the terrible ordeal he suffered, rather than diminished as one might suspect.” Those words brought Obi-Wan upright in his seat, surprised, to protest, “What good is justice if applied only to the just? If only injustice is perpetrated upon those who are unjust? Justice needs to be aligned with understanding and mercy, and when merited, the due administration of fair, impartial and legal punishment. This is the way of the Jedi, of law, of the Force.” Of course his colleagues knew that. He stopped short, knowing he had the agreement of all within the room, and slightly embarrassed at stating the obvious. Adi merely smiled at him. She spoke for the others, clear as each deferred to her and occasionally nodded in agreement. “Obi-Wan, you are an example to us all. Your Force presence was sullied and chaotic upon your return; the emotional residue lingered long. You fought free of two prisons – the original ordeal and the process of recovery. I am grateful to the Force and to Siri that my padawan was able to help you face and release that horror, to help you regain your footing, and to again demonstrate what a true Jedi is, for only in adversity is one’s true nature revealed.” While he appreciated the kind words, he was compelled to point out what seemed rather obvious to him. “Master Gallia, I am no more and no less than what the Order has raised me to be, my values are those instilled in me by my teachers and by the Force.” There were times when he wondered if he missed some inside joke, perhaps something humorous his words recalled that predated his seat on the Council. Now was such a time for he was at a loss to explain the amused looks of his colleagues, tinged with some other emotion he was at a loss to explain. Had some misbehaving padawan tried to justify some prank with such words once? He could easily imagine a younger version of his master justifying some Council-defying stunt or dubious project with such a rationalization. Adi continued on, outwardly showing none of the inner amusement permeating her Force presence. “Perhaps, but not all Jedi internalize these precepts to the degree you do, such comes as much from the man you are as the Jedi. Shaped you were, by many, but the essence of who you are, such can’t be molded by outside forces alone.” It suddenly struck him: the amusement was at his protests and his utter lack of recognition of the respect they held for him, deserved or not. Coloring slightly, Obi-Wan acknowledged her words with a bow. He had barely straightened up when Yoda “humphed,” making the Jedi think the older master was going to say something to humble him. Too much praise heaped on one tended to prompt just that. Instead, Yoda mentioned only what he had already noted for himself earlier this day. “Your Force connection seems strong and sure, returned in full has it? Rebuilt do you feel it to be?” Glad to end the earlier praises, for reasons entirely different from Yoda, Obi-Wan was quick to reply. “I have no reason to doubt otherwise. The healers advised recently that my midis seemed all but recovered. They weren’t sure if my Force connection would just seem to switch on as seems to have happened, or gradually improve. I have another appointment with them later this day. I can have their findings sent directly to the Council if you wish.” “No need for that.” The little Jedi dismissed the offer with a wave of a three-clawed hand. “Sense your connection we can, here once more in Council your presence we feel no longer diminished. Stimulated your midis were by your ‘sound sleep’ perhaps?” Obi-Wan nearly choked, and he easily sensed Yoda’s and Mace’s amusement. While he didn’t know what had betrayed his night’s activities, he was grateful their reaction was amusement, not displeasure. The session was adjourned shortly afterwards. As he had been doing ever since his return to the Temple, he remained in the Council chamber as the other Jedi slowly dispersed. The panoramic view this high up was, even now, a welcome change from the long, agonizing weeks chained in a too small, confined space. He relished the feeling of space surrounding him. He stood looking out of one of the broad windows, his hands clasped behind his back, mind quiet and at ease. A swish of robes announced that someone had come to stand beside him. “You’re deep in thought, Master Kenobi, or are you troubled? Somehow, I feel that your padawan’s report disturbed you, and not for the reason you implied.” With a soft sigh, Obi-Wan looked at Adi. “You are quite perceptive. It has, indeed, though I am not sure why. Anakin had every right to defend himself, and based on his full report that came in this morning, he was more than justified. Yet it bothers me.” Adi studied him silently; then offered a few words meant to be reassuring. “Anakin will be fine. He was trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi.” That brought a smile to his face, though he ruefully shook his head. “Only a part of him; the part of him that is willing to listen to those with more experience. He has never been that dutiful padawan every other initiate becomes. His abilities and connection to the Force often surpass my own and lead him to paths divergent to that I set before him. Whether ultimately that will be to his detriment or not, we have yet to see. None of us know the path the Chosen One is meant to tread, hence my hesitation in either reining him in or encouraging him. I do admit that there are far too many things I have wished I had done differently with him.” “As Qui-Gon with you, as I with Siri, yet both of you turned out quite well.” “We both had excellent masters,” Obi-Wan returned, smiling. A bow of her head was her acknowledgement of the compliment. “Your master and I both had excellent apprentices. To teach one needs a pupil, to teach well one needs a willing pupil. To be an excellent teacher is to add the additional support of colleagues and friends – something I fear we on the Council failed to give you and your learner in those crucial, early years, much to my regret.” As Obi-Wan opened his mouth, not quite sure how he wished to respond to that, Adi shook her head to silence him. “Our failure was born of ignorance of the special needs you both faced, something it is too late to rectify and almost impossible to make amends for. What is done is done and we must look forward, not back.” “There were times I could have used…guidance,” he admitted. “My padawan….” He sighed. Anakin had needed more than Obi-Wan alone could offer, and while Yoda, Mace, even Adi had occasionally offered advice, he had never had the full and uncompromising support of the full Council. Yet the past could not be remade. As Adi had said, one must look forward and deal with the challenges of the present. “I am pleased that Siri was able to give you the support you so desperately needed during these last few difficult weeks, as you once gave her the support she needed so badly. The affection and friendship between you both helped Siri heal years ago, just as she helped you with your healing.” “I am more grateful to her than I could possibly express.” Adi inclined her head in recognition. “She is well aware of your gratitude; we just spoke of this again when I saw her last, at mid-meal, in fact; that was when she mentioned your connection had returned in full measure. She also told me she is looking forward to more sparring with you.” “’er, yes?” “Siri confided in me some time back how you reacted that first time you sparred upon your return; while that fear has lessened she has hesitated to spar with you since. Not only could you have been at a decided disadvantage should you have lost your connection in the midst of a match, but you might well have been gravely injured. I understand you sparred yesterday after your connection returned and you were able to assuage her fears. My padawan told me she is quite pleased with the way you handle your lightsaber and hopes she has the opportunity to spar with you many more times while you are both at the Temple.” This day – mid-meal? Force, he hoped he wasn’t blushing. Instinctively he tightened his shields, trying to be as unobtrusive as possible. Sending such a message via her old master was – was – just wait until he got his hands on her…. With difficulty, he brought himself away from that enticing thought. Had Adi noticed anything? She was looking a trifle oddly at him. Both Siri and Yoda had said she was accepting of their relationship, should they pursue one, but that didn’t mean Adi wanted to know about it, or that they wanted it known, either. With a little cough he quickly turned the conversation away from this decidedly nuanced and strange turn it had taken. Keeping to the honorific address used in the chambers, he added, “You depart shortly, Master Gallia, may the Force be with you during your next campaign.” “Thank you, Master Kenobi, may it continue to be with you as well.” This time he was the one to bow. “Let us hope the Force is strong with us all until we can lift the shroud of darkness and enjoy once again that clarity I remember from my youth.” He almost groaned, for the words sounded pompous even to him. Adi nodded. Turning her attention away from her fellow Jedi, she looked at the sinking sun beyond the Council spire. She spoke softly, though firmly. “You have long been a steady light, Master Kenobi – that is the strength you bring to the Order. The steady glow will always long outshine the far brighter light that flares to brilliance and then fades – it will always hold back the darkness. Your guidance, your strength, and your compassion towards others are beyond reproach; let go of any lingering doubts you may have regarding yourself if you have not already.” There was a moment’s silence between them before Obi-Wan’s soft voice broke the hush. “Your padawan has been most helpful in that regard – she has, you might say, showed me the light. The darkness I feared – to some degree, always will – was a true perversion of the Force as focused by that Sith mask. Once that truth was revealed, I was able to let go those ‘lingering fears’ you speak of.” Adi turned, then, smiling, noting how brilliant rays of light rimmed the still-youthful face, for whenever light lingered, it always found this Jedi and was loath to leave him. Shadows were lengthening, dusk soon to fall as the sun dipped behind a tall building. “You have finally learned it is acceptable to take comfort from others – I remember your master’s biggest complaint was that his padawan seemed to deny himself comfort even when he needed it, though he readily offered it to others without thought. Be yourself, always.” “Your words honor me, Master Gallia.” He bowed. “I am pleased that you have accepted your heart, as well as freed that of my own padawan. Such a treasure should not be kept so tucked away. It is what defeated the darkness that the mask tried to impose on you, from what I hear. You master would be proud of you – more so than he always was.” “I miss him, still,” Obi-Wan murmured. “There was a time – when I almost felt him with me there, holding me, and then – for a moment, it seemed the Force saw fit to give me hope by allowing me to, er, connect to at least one that I – deeply care about - and remember why I fought so hard to resist the darkness.” “One you love.” Obi-Wan’s eyes lifted to meet hers; they were as gentle as her words had been. “Yes,” he murmured almost inaudibly. What he knew inside himself was still difficult to put into words, and still needed to be constrained in public. Long fingers brushed Obi-Wan’s hand. “The Force works in mysterious ways – perhaps it knew love was the weapon you needed and so connected you to one you love and one who loves you in return. It seems to approve of you being together, so accept this I do. “While I am gone, I know Siri and her heart will be in good hands,” she allowed a smile on her face as Obi-Wan almost invisibly squirmed, “for today the Force dances in harmony within you both. Keep an eye on my former padawan for me – once a master, always a master. You, too, shall learn this someday.” He nodded, already knowing the truth of her words. Should he live to ninety or more, he would always think of himself as the padawan of his master, just as he would always be master to Anakin and any other padawans he had raised by the time he rejoined the Force. Force willing, that was many years in the future; there were few things he really wished to see as much as Anakin coping with a padawan of his own. That was a few years off, yet. In the meantime, there was the matter of Siri and her words - a small smile played over his lips - he just might have to indulge in a bit of payback. -----signature----- http://boards.theforce.net/fan_fiction_resource/b10304/25405090/p3/?52 Prolific Author thread: list & links there.

	Very funny chapter. Love the "sound sleep" part from Yoda, and the play on words with the lightsaber from Siri. How do you think of this stuff? I had a great laugh. I wonder if Anakin will discover about Obi and Siri. Loved the last chapter too. Keep it coming please.

	Work has been crazy, but i finally managed to catch up on the last chapters i had missed... wonderful as usual! I love how it seemed Yoda and Mace knew, but said nothing. And Siri's comments to Adi were too funny. That was a few years off, yet. In the meantime, there was the matter of Siri and her words - a small smile played over his lips - he just might have to indulge in a bit of payback. i had a feeling that was coming, and i'm sure Siri knows it too Thanks a lot for the pm... it will be sad to see this story end, but it's been really nice to be along for the ride with u -----signature----- "Hello there!"

	A bow of her head was her acknowledgement of the compliment. “Your master and I both had excellent apprentices. To teach one needs a pupil, to teach well one needs a willing pupil. To be an excellent teacher is to add the additional support of colleagues and friends – something I fear we on the Council failed to give you and your learner in those crucial, early years, much to my regret.” As Obi-Wan opened his mouth, not quite sure how he wished to respond to that, Adi shook her head to silence him. “Our failure was born of ignorance of the special needs you both faced, something it is too late to rectify and almost impossible to make amends for. What is done is done and we must look forward, not back.” “There were times I could have used…guidance,” he admitted. “My padawan….” He sighed. Anakin had needed more than Obi-Wan alone could offer, and while Yoda, Mace, even Adi had occasionally offered advice, he had never had the full and uncompromising support of the full Council. Yet the past could not be remade. As Adi had said, one must look forward and deal with the challenges of the present. It's somewhat of a shame that the Council members didn't realize the unique needs that both Obi-Wan and Anakin faced during the early part of their partnership. It might have made a great difference in the way things turned out -- but hindsight is 20/20 and the past cannot be changed. Adi inclined her head in recognition. “She is well aware of your gratitude; we just spoke of this again when I saw her last, at mid-meal, in fact; that was when she mentioned your connection had returned in full measure. She also told me she is looking forward to more sparring with you.” “’er, yes?” “Siri confided in me some time back how you reacted that first time you sparred upon your return; while that fear has lessened she has hesitated to spar with you since. Not only could you have been at a decided disadvantage should you have lost your connection in the midst of a match, but you might well have been gravely injured. I understand you sparred yesterday after your connection returned and you were able to assuage her fears. My padawan told me she is quite pleased with the way you handle your lightsaber and hopes she has the opportunity to spar with you many more times while you are both at the Temple.” This day – mid-meal? Force, he hoped he wasn’t blushing. Instinctively he tightened his shields, trying to be as unobtrusive as possible. Sending such a message via her old master was – was – just wait until he got his hands on her…. With difficulty, he brought himself away from that enticing thought. I absolutely loved this and am looking forward to Obi-Wan's payback for the "sparring" comments.

	Oi, I only hope that Obi's relationship can keep Anakin from falling. Sequel, maybe?
