So, this is my first fanfic on , so I hope to get some reviews just to tell me how I'm doing. I love me some Obi bashing, and this idea is the best, so I hope you all like. Enjoy!
Disclaimer (though we really don't need, so I'm only saying it once): I dont own anything Star Wars. Dangit. Oh well.
It was just a diversion; Ben knew this. He was not meant to defeat his opponent, only delay him long enough for the children to get away. More than that, he didnt think he could strike down the man he now fought.
This had been his child, once. His son, his friend, his brother-now his enemy, his nightmare, but he couldnt deliver that final blow.

"You were my brother, Anakin!"
He sensed the confusion, saw the hesitation as he raised his 'saber in a final salute.
"I HATE YOU!"
Ben touched the bond he had protected, hidden, scorned, and treasured these past years, a soft caress that allowed him a final goodbye.
I forgive you, my Anakin.
The ruby blade swung, and even as pain flashed at the contact it was swept away in the peaceful acceptance of his fate. No pain, no fear, only serenity as the darkness stole over him, and the FOrce welcomed him home.
Obi-Wan Kenobi was no more.
