SORRY FOR THE LONG DELAY GUYS! I WAS THINKING OF WHAT WAS TO COME NEXT! AND THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING REVIEWS! MORE IS TO COME, DON'T WORRY! ENJOY!

~Kikyo's POV~

They finally arrive back home, it almost close to the wee hours of the morning. The two stayed mostly silent the whole trip home, minus some silent smiles and a few giggles shared. Mace and Yoda walk up to the ship as it begins to land.

"Where have you been?" Mace instantly questioned Kikyo the moment they came out of the ship.

"I needed some time to think… I'm sorry for my hasty actions master," she instantly bowed to be forgiven.

Shocked by her sudden change of heart, Mace just stood there dumb-founded for a moment.

"I'm very glad to see you come around Kikyo," Mace smiles a moment.

Suddenly there is an odd silence, as Kikyo gets a strange feeling something is one everyone's minds. Mace looks to Yoda, as if asking him to start the conversation.

"Dismissed you are, Master Kenobi," Yoda begins.

"Of course," Obi-Wan says as he starts to walk away.

"I'll join you," Windu speaks, leaving Yoda and Kikyo to talk.

So as the two leave, Yoda and Kikyo are left in an awkward silence. Yoda sighs and looks at Kikyo.

"I did something wrong again, didn't I?" Kikyo asked, sorrow in her voice, as well as a nervous twinge.

"Something we must talk about, there is," he said to her.

"What about?"

"General Kenobi."

Kikyo's face flushed red as she looked away, averting her gaze from his, and knowing this wasn't going to be a good talk.

"Feelings for him, you have, yes?" Yoda asked in his usual strange way.

"I… I do," softly she answered.

"Feelings of love, yes?"

"Y-yes," her voice stuttered.

"Feelings like these, Jedi must not have. A bad thing, getting attached to someone is. To the dark side, it can lead."

"So.. what are you saying then?" She asked, fully aware, but needing to hear it for herself.

"You and General Kenobi cannot be together. The Jedi way, it is. The rules, they are," Yoda bows his head. "Sorry, I am deeply."

Kikyo bows her head to stare at the floor. She wanted to look at anything but Master Yoda right now. Mace was the one who told me to tell him, she thought. Why would he tell me to tell him, knowing that no matter what, I couldn't be with him? This isn't fair! I should have never said a thing! Everything's ruined now!

Tears began to form in her eyes from the reject she would have to face in her heart. She sorrowed she could never be together with Obi-Wan, knowing he had the exact same feelings for her. And she could do nothing about it.

"Not fair, I know you think it is," said Yoda, "But the rules, they are. Follow them, you must to stay a Jedi. As well, General Kenobi must follow these."

"I understand," Kikyo said so softly she wasn't sure it was audible.

As she walks away from Master Yoda, she looks around to find something to do, to get her mind off the heartbreak. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan and Mace are having the same talk.

"But Master Windu, why would you tell her to tell me, fully aware the two of us could never be together?" Obi-Wan asked Windu.

"I thought it would make her happy to let you know," Mace answered, "I wasn't thinking of the consequences. I feel aweful for causing this. I'm so sorry General Kenobi."

"It's alright. Hopefully she isn't too heartbroken."

"I hope so as well," Windu replied, truly hoping that Kikyo would forgive him for his mistake.

I need to talk to Anakin, Obi-Wan thought. Maybe he has something to tell me. I mean, after all, he's the one who encouraged me to agree to the chase. I need some answers, I just…. I just can't let this go.

And with that, Obi-Wan decides to seek out Anakin, and get the answers he seeks.
