REGRETS _

Sajana Dytee, a successful 25-year old Jedi Knight, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, also a successful 35-year old Jedi Knight, met when Sajana was only a shy, 15-year old Padawan who was appointed to Obi-Wan. Now, 10 years later, Sajana went from that shy, closed off girl to an excited, open woman. The two were madly in love with each other and would protect each other until their last breath. The war wasn't as active as it used to be when Sajana was a Padawan, so they got more leaves. It was one full year that they couldn't have a leave because of one of Grievous's sudden attacks on Christophsis. Sajana and Obi-Wan were fighting side-by-side with their Commanders, Cody and Gree, close by. Explosions were going off left and right. Suddenly, the building above them exploded, quickly falling to the earth.

Sajana looked up. "Look out!" she cried, Force Pushing them out of the way as she tried to jump, but wasn't far enough. The debris fell on her with a loud crash, crushing most of the Droids.

Obi-Wan looked up from where he was on the ground, a small gasp of fear escaping him. "Sajana!" he screamed, scrambling to his feet and ran to the place where his love was. Obi-Wan used the force to throw the heaps of building off her. The Droids were soon gone, but Obi-Wan didn't care. When he got the pieces off her, Obi-Wan jumped lightly over her body so he could hold her. Sajana's bright blonde hair was darker from all the soot. He brushed her face lightly, getting snapped back to reality when he heard Anakin's voice next to him.

"Obi-Wan?" the younger man said as he crouched down, resting a comforting hand on Obi-Wan's shoulder.

Kenobi looked up at him. "Call a Medical Transport immediately, Anakin." he ordered.

Anakin nodded and stood.

"Anything we can go, General?" Cody asked.

"Yes," Obi-Wan looked up, "you and Gree go and see to the wounded." he said briskly.

"Yes, sir." the two Commanders said in unison with a nod.

Obi-Wan looked down, hearing Sajana cough roughly. "Hey, settle down, Saj," Obi-Wan coaxed softly. "You'll be fine. Does anything hurt?"

"My ribs do a little." she said, her voice hoarse.

"Save your strength," he muttered softly, "Anakin called in a Medical Transport, so it won't take long for them to get here." Obi-Wan shifted slightly so that he wasn't sitting on his feet.

It was a matter of time, but the Med Transports finally arrived, Sajana having dozed off in the time frame.

Obi-Wan carefully picked her up and walked into one of the ships, laying Sajana down on a bed.

She opened her eyes, feeling the soft surface below her. "Obi..." she said quietly.

"Don't worry, love," Obi-Wan said and pecked her lips lightly, "I'm not going anywhere." with that being said, he sat in a chair across from her and closed his eyes, slipping into a light sleep.

iA scream ringing through his ears, through his head! It was too much to bear. Obi-Wan felt choked, tears falling down his face as he saw his love, his Sajana, bloody on the cold, hard floor. Another scream escaped her throat. "No!" Obi-Wan shouted. "Stop!" Obi-Wan cried out, feeling a tight hand close around his throat. He couldn't breath. "After I'm through with her, Kenobi," a deep, threatening voice sounded next to his ear, "you're next in line for Death."/i

Obi-Wan awoke with a jolt and a sharp gasp, his head spinning. He was still in his chair, half curled up with a leg tucked under him. Obi-Wan looked around. He saw Sajana asleep, an oxygen mask over her mouth and nose. Obi-Wan frowned and closed his eyes again. It wasn't long until he felt a gentle shake on his arm.

"General Kenoi," Kix said quietly.

Kenobi's response was a light grunt.

Kix sighed. "General, wake up. We're back at the Temple."

Obi-Wan groaned and pulled his leg out from under him. He saw Sajana, a smile on her face. "What?" he asked lightly.

"You're a heavy sleeper." she teased.

"You just noticed?" Obi-Wan asked with a light laugh.

"Shut up." Sajana stuck her tongue out.

Kenobi rolled his eyes and turned to Kix, who nodded. "To the Halls of Healing with you." Obi-Wan slipped an arm under her shoulders and knees as her carefully lifted her up off the bed.

"Ugh!" Sajana groaned. "I know. I don't like going there, either." Obi-Wan smirked.

Sajana sighed and leaned her head against his chest, feeling how tense he was. "Obi," Sajana muttered, "I'm sorry."

Obi-Wan looked down at her. "For what?"

"Almost getting myself killed." she told him, a hint of anger in her tone.

Obi-Wan sighed and laid her on a bed, sitting at the edge of it and taking her hand in his. "Sajana, it isn't your fault," he muttered softly. "I would have done the same thing." he admitted.

Sajana scowled, pulling her hand away. "But, I almost ikilled/i myself!" she protested.

"Yes," Obi-Wan said, trying not to let annoyance slip into his soft voice. "I understand that, but you can't put the blame on yourself, Saj." he told her.

Sajana let out a rough sigh. "It would have been if I had gotten-"

"No," Obi-Wan interrupted her abruptly, "it still wouldn't have been your fault."

Before Sajana could reply, they both looked up and saw Master Vokara Che, one of the best Jedi Healers in the Temple.

"Master Kenobi." the Togruta smiled softly at him, seeing how tired he was.

"Master Che." Obi-Wan said, forcing a smile.

The Healer chuckled and placed a small hand on his shoulder. "Don't try and hide it," she told him. "You're tired. Go and rest."

Obi-Wan glanced down at Sajana before looking back up at Vokara Che at the sound of her voice.

"She'll be fine. I promise," she said. "Now, go and sleep. You need it."

Obi-Wan nodded and stood. "Yes, Master." he muttered and walked out of the room, Sajana watching as he left.

Oh, boy! Pretty intense chapter, wouldn't you say? What'll happen with our heroic couple? Review, please!
