For Jedi Kay-Kenobi, the best PM Buddy and Muse that a writer could have! I'm probably going to end this series in the next few chapters… I might do a sequel series, if you guys want it that is… :D Warning for one or two bad words! :D But what do you expect from this character, you'll find out who! ;D
Qui-Gon Jinn walked, no, more like ran into his Padawan's Med-Center room, brandishing his newly casted wrist. They would have healed it properly, but Qui-Gon refused. If his Padawan had to suffer, then he needed to as well. This logic was lost on Tahl. She had gently told Bant to leave, and the second the Young Padawan did, it sounded like fireworks were going off in the room. But eventually, Qui-Gon was victorious, and only had to stay in the Med-Center for his near fracture of the spine, and a shiny black eye that 'magically' appeared after Bant left. Once the injuries were healed, they finally told him the news of Obi-Wan's comatose state.
He gently approached the bed, and looked at the young Apprentice. "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have let the boy come with me." He gently picked up the Padawan braid that laid on Obi-Wan's shoulder. He smiled at the warm memories of braiding it the first time, even though he was being cold hearted at the boy at first. "I don't know why I ever compared you to Xanatos. You would never betray me, and I know that now." He placed the braid back down and sat down next to the bed. "Well, I haven't really been a good Master to you, Obi-Wan. I vow to change that right now. The first thing I need to do is to break down our emotional barriers. Let's see-" He began to tell tales from his Padawan days with Dooku to the hilarious adventures he had with his first Padawan. He even mentioned a couple warm memories with Xanatos.
Obi-Wan heard every word, and started memorizing each story, burning them into his brain. His Master never opened up that much around him. Just a few words of praise or a gentle pat on the back were all the emotions that he showed around his Padawan. It was weird how much his Master had changed in those short eight years. Soon night fell upon them, and Qui-Gon was starting to feel tired. He pursued on tell the stories in order to stay awake. There was no way that he was going to leave his boy's side, even for some meager sleep. But his body betrayed it, and he was soon meditating into the Force.
It was about two hours later when Tahl walked it, carrying a few blankets and some food that she was able to swipe from the Jedi kitchens. She placed one blanket on Qui-Gon and the other on Obi-Wan. Then, as roughly as she could, she rubbed Qui-Gon's hair until he woke up.
"Wha- Tahl." Qui-Gon narrowed his eyes and starred at his love. She just smiled at him and sat down on his lap, and started feeding him.
"What Qui?"
He did a defeated grin and cuddled her close. "Nothing. What do you want?"
"Just came here to see if you were alright…"
"I am now." He leaned down and kissed her.
-oOo-
Obi-Wan was officially freaked out. He knew that his Master had a thing for Tahl, but never to the point of breaking the code. Well, maybe to the point of breaking the code… You just never knew with Qui-Gon. 'Of course! That's why he and Tahl are always bickering! Hmm… Just like an old married couple.' Obi-Wan smiled internally for that comment. It was a good thing that they couldn't hear that, or he might be in trouble with two really ticked off lovers.
-oOo-
Tahl was eventually successful in getting Qui-Gon away from Obi-Wan, and things were quiet for a couple hours. Obi-Wan used the time to meditate and reflect on the stories that Qui-Gon had told him. It didn't last for long though, because soon, there was a tiny knock on the door, then the sound of small footsteps leading up to his bed. It all became clear when he saw Ani climb up onto the chair next to his bed, and just stare at him. There was something about that boy that Obi-Wan just couldn't understand. It felt like the boy was destined to be next to Obi-Wan's side. Obi-Wan could see that the boy's bright blue eyes were curiously looking at his braid, like he was memorizing every strand of hair that it was composed of. He quietly stood up on the chair and leaned his small body over the bed, picking up the item that had had his attention for all this time. He pulled on it lightly, then harder, as if expecting Obi-Wan to wake up if he pulled it hard enough. When that didn't work, he hopped up on the bed, cuddled into Obi-Wan, put something in The Padawan's tunic pocket, and buried his face in his chest.
'Why isn't he in a bed of his own?' Obi-Wan thought to himself. 'He sustained more injuries than I did and yet he is up and running around.' The question was soon answered when Shmi walked in and saw him.
"There you are, Ani. You're supposed to be sleeping. Come on." She walked over and pulled the reluctant child off of Obi-Wan, taking him out of the room.
Obi-Wan didn't notice the wet spots on his tunic until the boy was gone. 'Why was he crying? And what is in my pocket?'
He let the questions brew in his head, and continued meditating on them.
-oOo-
For some strange reason, Obi-Wan couldn't fall asleep. There was a strange feeling in the back of his head that was bothering him and preventing him from the blessed sleep. He didn't even notice a girl walk in and sit down next to him. Not until he felt a hand brushing against his check, did he notice Siri Tachi, his supposed enemy, sitting next to him, crying. Wait. This had to be a dream. Maybe he did succeeded in falling asleep. Siri would never cry, especially in front of him.
"Obi-Wan. I know that I've been a real Bitch to you. And I know that you probably don't like me for it, but I need to tell you something, even if you can't hear it." She paused for a second to compose herself, looked at the door, to make sure that she was indeed alone, and continued. "I love you. I know that you're Mr. Perfect Padawan and that you would never break the code for me, but I had to tell you. I regret breaking things off with you all those years ago every single day. I wish that I could go back in time and slap myself out of it, and stay with you forever. To just screw the Jedi and just stay in your arms." She leaned over and kissed Obi-Wan on the lips, and didn't pull away until she had to, in order to breath. "I want you back, and you have to make it through this so that we can be together. Though, I don't know how I'll tell you that I love you. It's so much easier when you're in a coma." She looked at the door and instantly stood up. "I have to go. Master Adi is looking for me. I do love you, Kenobi." And with that she ran out of the room.
Obi-Wan didn't know whether to be happy, shocked, or angry. He was happy that Siri loved him back. He was shocked that she would actually admit that she was wrong and kiss him. And he was angry that girls were so complicated! The weird feeling in the back of his head was gone now, so he fell asleep to the many ways he could coax the admission of love from Siri in the most embarrassing way possible.
-oOo-
He awoke to the sound of people murmuring around him. 'What's going on? They only allow two visitors at a time. And there has to be about six people in here.'
A Healer stepped into the room and walked over to the group. "I'm afraid that I have some bad news." She paused until they were silenced and then continued. "It seems that due to the injuries that Obi-Wan Kenobi endured when fighting the Sith lord, he will not awake from this coma and in a couple of days, will eventually pass into the Force. I'm very sorry for your loss." And with that, she quickly walked out of the room.
Everyone stared at where the Healer had stood with shock and sadness. Then they turned their attention to where Obi-Wan laid. Tahl and Siri burst out in tears while Qui-Gon stood with a blank face. He walked over to Obi-Wan and just sat down, with his head in his hands. No one knew what to do, it was clear that they couldn't do anything, but stay near him, and wait.
K. Explaining time! Ani had two visions, one when he passed out in Palpatine's apartment and the other when he was sleeping in the Med-Center. knows that Obi-Wan is going to die because he saw it in the second vision. So he put something into his tunic, a picture that he drew when sitting in his bed in the Med-Center. The picture is of him and Obi-Wan as Jedi, which was the first vision that Anakin had.
Another thing, let's just say I'm not done with Palpatine/Sidious. :D
