Kamino

Obi-Wan knew of a place he could hide Luke for something had changed within the Force, something that could bring Darth Vader to Tattooine, he knew. If Darth Vader set foot on Tattooine he would find Luke and all their hope could be lost. He was taking Luke to Kamino, since the Emperor had ordered the production of clones to cease he had no doubt that they would be safe there. He sensed that the Force was drawing him to Kamino. He hired a pilot, named Han Solo, to take them to Kamino despite young Luke's protests. They arrived there one standard day later and Obi-Wan kept himself from reaching out to the force, Vader would be constantly searching for his presence in the Force and if he were to find him before Luke was trained it could have dire affects for the galaxy, almost as dire as the fall of the Chosen One. Perhaps, they had been wrong. Perhaps, Anakin hadn't been the Chosen One, but Luke was. But Luke had had a father, Anakin. Obi-Wan shook his head to clear it from those thoughts, speculating was getting him no where. He could almost hear Qui-Gon admonishing him to keep him mind on the here and now. In the present. He frowned as he watched Luke, he went to him and covered his eyes. "Again."

"How am I supposed to hit it if I can't even see?"

"Your eyes can confuse you, reach out with your feelings, young Luke." He smiled as Luke completed the excersize correctly and the excited look that came across his face, and once again, he was reminded of Anakin.

'Master, I did it right that time. I just know I did. It was the same feeling I got when I was 'raceing. I did do right, Master, even though I started late." and Anakin would have continued on if Obi-Wan hadn't reached out and patted Anakin's shoulder awkwardly and tilted his chin up to look at him.

"Yes, Anakin, you did well."

The smile slipped from Anakin's face as he studied Obi-Wan silently and before Obi-Wan could wonder what he was thinking he spoke softly, sadly. "I want to make Mom proud of me. I want to make you proud of me. I don't want to ever give you a reason to regret training me. Do you think somewhere Qui-Gon is looking down on me and smiling?"

"Anakin, Qui-Gon is one with the Force. He's not immortal. He can't reach out from beyond the force. When I die, when you die, we will be at peace however there's no reaching out, no looking back."

"Never?"

"It's the way of things. Now, come along, you have more classes to master today. I am very impressed and tomorrow I will begin to instruct you without the remote. Perhaps I will even find some younglings for you to spar with."

"I'm going to win, Master."

"A Jedi does not seek dominance, Anakin. This is a chance to test your skills against an opponent."

Obi-Wan shook his head clearing it, as they landed on Kamino. The pilot smiled cockily as he explained different things about Kamino to them. They all disembarked including Artoo and Three-pio and Obi-Wan briefly wondered how the Force worked through these two droids, even if Three-pio didn't remember him or Qui-Gon, Padme or Anakin, he was now Luke's droid. What irony. He led the trio behind him and the droids to Jango's old apartment and waited Taun Le's appearance. She would arrive sooner or later he knew. The place for him right now was on Kamino, he knew it as much as he knew his own name, as much as he knew Luke was Anakin's son.
