Hello Master

A/N: okay even thought the story is focused on Kifanue, there is still a bit of Cody/ Barriss, so...ya...enjoy

"Shinny objects, it's her weak spot, candy is what calms her down, and try not to upset her,"

~Jedi master Mace Windu~

Chapter 1:

"Her name is Kifanue Tanfe, she is a Mirialan youngling, and a talented one, you will be training her," Mace Windu stated to a baffled Obi wan

"I don't know about that, why are you sending her to me?" Obi wan started, "wouldn't master Secura, or a seasoned master be better?"

"I'm positive in your abilities, I'm sure you will do fine," Windu smiled and with a polite bow as he left a stunned obi wan, who wondered how long it would be before he met with his new padawan.

Kifanue opened her eyes, she had spent her morning in the garden meditating, the small birds that had made the temple their home and some of the other creatures had gathered around her, either sleeping or just enjoying the peaceful company that the young padawan gave. She smiled as she carefully removed what looked like a kitten from her lap and stood up stretching to the sky and every other way until she heard her back crack, and with a satisfied smile on her lips, she walked out of the garden.

"I thought I would find you here," Mace smiled as he walked up to the girl.

"Good morning Master Windu, will we be playing another game of Dejarik?" she asked with a bow.

"I don't know youngling, you won a large amount of sweets from me last time we played," Windu smiled.

Kifanue smiled back and the two walked through the hall, if Ahsoka was Yoda's favorite then Kifanue was Mace's. He had seen the girl progress since the Hutt's had given her to the temple. She was kind and innocent to the highest degree, it was like there was no dark force in her, and she did everything she was told, even if sometimes it was an odd way of doing it. Her love for sweets was a little problem, but her extreme love for shiny objects was a major problem. Her battle style was different from what he was used to teaching, but he never thought anything less of it, and had personally taken her off planet to make her own lightsabers, which she had behind her back. Kifanue didn't wear the clothes that most Jedi wear, a black sleeveless turtleneck that was cut right above the stomach, and black pants was her basic style, she would also bandage up her breasts. One arm was covered in a long glove that was holding her comlink, while the other arm had a wrist band and an arm band. Dark brown boots and a short decorative cloth, and a sleeveless cloak with a hood were tied around her neck. that made up her normal attire, she never liked wearing long robes she tended to trip on them.

As the two walked down the halls of the Jedi temple Mace lead her to where Obi Wan was talking to his commander, normally Cody wouldn't be with him, but Obi Wan insisted that he come with him, moral support, even though he wouldn't admit it.

"Ah, Kenobi, this is Kifanue Tanfe, Kifanue this is your new master Obi Wan Kenobi," Mace introduced.

Kifanue bowed. "It's a pleasure to meet you master," she smiled politely.

Kenobi looked from the girl in front of him to Mace who stood with pride next to the padawan.

"I thought you said that it was going to be like General Skywalker, she is far nicer….like Barriss," Cody whispered, blushing at the end as he was reminded of the only woman to have stolen his heart, and was glad that his bucket hid his blush, now if only the Jedi weren't paying any attention, and then he would be able to get away with this without any question.

"Your right Cody, I had thought she would be a little more…reckless," Kenobi said racking his brain for the last word.

"Master Windu, will I be seeing you anytime soon?" She asked.

"You might Kifanue, but most likely not, you have to go and be trained by Kenobi now, behave yourself."

"Always master," she smiled softly, and with a pat on the head, Windu left the three to themselves.

"so, padawan Tanfe I hope you got whatever belongings you have, we will be leaving Coruscant in ten minutes," Kenobi said with a smile.

"Very well, I will go and pack, I'll be back here faster than you can say blasted tinnies," she smiled brightly and with that she ran off to her room.

The men looked at each other, and Cody shifted his weight from one foot to another.

"Your dismissed Cody, I think I can handle this," Obi Wan smiled.

"very well sir, see you at the ship," Cody replied, he was truly thankful, and he took this time to go search out Barriss, even if she hadn't wanted him to, there was always the 'I got lost' excuse. This made him smile as he turned the corner and literally knocked Barriss down by the sheer force of his much larger body. For Barriss It was like running into a moving wall, might as well have been.

"I'm sorry Barriss," Cody said quickly as he bent down to help her up.

"It's alright Cody, I should have paid more attention to where I was going," Barriss smiled as she was pulled up from the floor.

The two walked around the temple, the noon sun sending its rays through the long windows, and making large patch work patterns on the tiled floor under their feet. Cody had noticed how every time Barriss stepped into one of the light patches she seemed to glow. But that was short lived as his comlink sounded off, and he had to answer it.

:: Cody, we are waiting on you:: came Obi Wan's voice.

:: Sorry sir, I'll be at the font soon:: Cody said.

:: Very well commander::

The transmission was ended and Cody sighed, Barriss giggled.

"What's so funny?" Cody asked.

"Your just like your general in some points, you know that?" she asked.

"No I didn't."

"well, I'll point those out when you come back, be safe," Barriss smiled, as Cody walked in front of her, stopping so that she had to stop as well.

Cody pulled Barriss into a hug and when he released he kissed her. "I'll miss you my cyar'ika," he said with a bit of sadness in his voice, and in the force.

"I'll miss you to," Barriss smiled sadly. She was always sad to see him go.

Kifanue stood silently next to her new master, she was a little nervous, she didn't know what she should do other than stand there, and it was a little annoying for her. She switched her weight from one foot to the other and started humming a song she had once heard in a cantina when she was wandering through the city. Obi Wan looked down at the light green girl and raised an eyebrow; he noticed how she had her tattoos placed differently than that of Barriss or Luminara. Kifanue's tattoos were over her eyes, down to her cheek, and she had one ring on both arms with the same pattern, and Obi Wan can make out another tattoo on her right side.

"Where are we going master?" Kifanue asked, as she turned her head to Obi Wan.

"Huh? Oh, well, you will see," Obi Wan smiled, this caused Kifanue to wrinkle her noes a little, but she sighed and nodded her head.

"Alright master, what will be my first lesson?" she asked.

"Patience, young one," Obi Wan smiled, thinking that he always gets the reckless ones, or that he was glad he dealt with Anakin, feeling that Kifanue might be just as much of a handful.

Kifanue blew her bangs out of her eyes, and crossed her arms. "alright master, I'll try," she said but was suddenly distracted by something shiny in the distance, she squinted, walked a few steps forward, then ran after it, leaving her new master by himself to wonder where she had went off to.

"Sorry I'm late, sir, did I miss anything?" Cody asked as he walked up to his general.

"Just my padawan," Obi Wan said with a sigh.

"Shall we go look for her?"

There was a long pause, then a deep sigh coming from the Jedi master. "Yes, I suppose we should, it would be bad to lose my student before I actually got to teach her something." With that said the two left in the direction Kifanue ran off to.
