Padawan Tornament

Chapter 2- I suppose so...

by noil23sj

"Ahsoka are you alright?" Barriss carefully asked. They were doing sparring practise.

Ahsoka grunted back. She than violently lunged towards Barriss. Barriss easily blocked the clumsy slash; Ahsoka angrily mumbled something then again lunged towards Barriss.

"Ahsoka, do you want to talk?"

Ahsoka gave a heavy sigh "I'm sorry Barriss, I'm just annoyed."

"O yeah..." Barriss trailed off. After Ahsoka had been told by master skywalker she couldn't compete on the tournament. Barriss had tried not to mention it.

In an attempt to break the silence Barriss spoke up. "Do you want to do something else? Rather than training?"

Ahsoka nodded. The two girls left the training room and strolled throughout the Jedi temple corridor for quite a while. They were in a quiet silence before a voice echoed behind them.

"Barriss there you are." Master lumenare said, the two padawans bowed slightly "padawan I have some matters I need to discuss with you." She stared at Ahsoka.

"Ahsoka I will see you later" she then lowered her voice so her master couldn't hear. "Go meditate for a while. It may do you some good." She smiled then turned to catch up with her master.

Ahsoka sighed and then took towards the room of a thousand fountains. The small comm. link on her wrist beeped but she ignored it.

She entered the room of a thousand fountains, and sat down on the nearest bench. She took a deep breath and tried to meditate.

But as she did, dark thoughts entered her mind. The idea of her master was dominant. He had for no reason refused her to enter the padawan tournament. Ahsoka had taken on far worse opponents than some other padawan or youngling. Ahsoka had survived an encounter with general grievous, just, she had fought ventress. Surely she could face some other Jedi padawans.

Ahsoka hadn't spoken to her master since he had not allowed her to compete. Ahsoka thoughts were disrupted when she heard someone calling her name.

"Ahsoka, padawan." Ahsoka opened her eyes to see master Kenobi standing before her.

"Master Kenobi" Ahsoka stood up and gave him a polite little bow.

"Ahsoka this may seem a little random but have you and Anakin had an argument? Various Jedi seem him walking in his own around the temple, muttering things to himself."

"No exactly, we haven't argued at all, more of a disagreement,"

"Padawan, please tell me what's happened. I've tried to talk to Anakin but he just gives me a grunt and walks away."

Ahsoka stared at the floor she then begun" well... You know that there is going to be a tournament between some padawans." He nodded then gestured the bench. They sat down and she continued

"I really would like to compete; I think I stand a decent chance. But Ana- master skywalker won't let me. I don't understand why. He is being completely unreasonable."

"I understand Ahsoka, I'm going to go and have a little chat with him" he stood up to leave.

"Master Kenobi please don't tell him what I said" Ahsoka said timidly

"Of course" he smiled and the turned and strolled away

Anakin was muttering to himself. He was in the hanger mending his Jedi star fighter. He was angry for reasons known only to him, unlike most Jedi he found it easier it release anger whilst working.

"R2 give me that socket plug" he was working with his trusty astromech. He gave a few beeps in a happy reply.

"Yeah I know buddy." He said as he smiled slightly

"Anakin!" A voice echoed around the room. Obi-wan walked over to him.

"O hello master" Anakin said happily.

"Hi Anakin. We need to talk."

Anakin stood up and stopped working on his fighter to pay attention "yeah sure. What's up?"

"Why is Ahsoka angry at you?" he said bluntly

Anakin looked taken back." I'm not sure, um I've done some training with her recently and don't know if I was too harsh, or..." He stopped Obi-wan was giving him a critical look "what?"

"The padawan tournament." Obi-wan prompted

"O is she still annoyed, I'm not letting her enter?"

"To put it simply yes. Why won't you let her compete"

"She's not ready."

"Anakin younglings are entering, she could easily beat them." Anakin stared at the floor "listen to me please"

Anakin didn't say anything "Fine I'll leave you to think about what I said." He then walked off leaving Anakin to his thoughts.

Ahsoka tank was still meditating when she again heard someone calling her name. She wasn't in the mood to talk. Then the voice calling her name pestered. She finally opened her eyes to see her a familiar face standing before her.

"Snips"

"Yes" she said with little enthusiasm.

"You were right."

"What?!" Ahsoka was taken back. These were the few words she never thought her master would say to her.

"I was thinking about the padawan tournament and after talking to Obi-wan I will let you enter."

"What for real! Thank you" Ahsoka couldn't contain her excitement. "But why?"

"I thought about it, I forgot you are able to handle yourself. So you stand a decent chance at winning it and so yeah."

"Thanks you! Again" Ahsoka stood up and exited ran off to tell Barriss she could compete. Anakin just watched as Ahsoka ran off, he was slowly seeing how she was growing up. But he was still keeping a careful eye on her.

"Barriss!" Ahsoka was once again running through the temple corridors. She had seen Barriss meditating on a bench and was rapidly shouting her name. But unknown to her Tim bordello was watching the two girls in the shadows.

"Barriss I can now compete in the tournament" Ahsoka said.

"Brilliant" is all Barriss could come out to say, she was a little taken back. "Does this mean we can train together without you becoming annoyed?" She joked.

"Well I suppose…" she was going to continue when she noticed Tim was staring at them

"What do you want Tim?" Ahsoka said harshly.

"Nothing, but now I know you are going to compete in this tournament you should know you are going down." He sneered.

"We'll that won't ever happen"

"You're going to regret that Togruta" he snapped back.

"We will have to see." Ahsoka smirked then walked away following Barriss.
