Okay here is the next one. Sorry it took me so long. :D Please review. Thanks to Knight Benedicta and SnipsSkywalker for reviewing!
Siri picked herself up again. They were counting on her to do this. They needed her to complete her part of the mission so that they could do their job. Stupid explosives, she thought. They kept going off; triggered as part of trying to defend the sepratist base. The problem was it kept shaking the ground and throwing shapnal toward the place she was sneaking through, making her stop and duck every time one went off. She slipped towards the base, unnoticed. She reached the side, pulled the vent cover off and climbed into it. She navigated her way through the vent system and tried to locate the holding cell they were keeping the prisoner in. She finally reached it, she stopped listening for the sound of guards. Nothing; she reached out with her sences and didn't find anything. She pulled the vent cover up and dropped down. She walked down the corridor reaching out with her feeling trying to find the cell that he was in. Her search was rewarded; the third cell had him in it.
She hit the release button and destroyed the droids that were guarding him. "I'm getting tired of saving your sorry shebs," she said.
"The last time it was my job to save you." He smiled deeply at her, "Are you going to keep me cuffed or are you going to remove them?"
She smiled back at him, "I'd like to keep you cuffed but we need you uncuffed." She ignited her lightsaber and cut through the cuffs.
"Come on, let's get out of here," he said. "What are our options for leaving?"
"The vent system or we could fight our way out."
Obi-Wan looked up at the small vent hole, "There is no way I'm going to fit in there."
"Then fighting our way out it is." He shrugged and motioned for her to lead the way. She snuck up behind the guard droid and stabbed it. Then she tossed Obi-Wan his lightsaber and they walked out.
They did more sneaking than fighting. The less attention they drew to themselves the better chances they had of getting out alive. They crept down corridors taking droids out silently. They sent sleep suggestions to any people they came across. They, for once, actually got out without being seen. However, they were seen running across the field. They became the target for the droids. They were unaware until Siri's sences screamed that they were in danger. Obi-Wan was slightly ahead and to the right of her. She didn't hesitate; she just did it. She ran and tackled him, sending them both flying through the air. Then everything went black.
Obi-Wan groaned, trying to remember why he was lying on his back. He tried to move and found that he couldn't. He panicked until he realized that Siri was on top of him. She was lying diagonal on top of him; her blond head on his rigt shoulder. Her eyes were closed and he realized that she must have blacked out when she hit him. He shifted lightly, trying to decide how to wake her up without getting hurt in the process. He hesitantly reached over with his left arm and gently touched her right shoulder, rousing her a little.
Siri groaned and shifted, opening her eyes groggaly. Where was she? Her eyes adjusted and she saw a pair of bright blueish-green eyes looking at her. Oh Crap, she thought. I'm on top of Obi-Wan. She froze, every mussel tensing. "Hi," he said. She could feel herself blushing. She wished she could stop, Siri Tachi didn't blush. She'd have to stop and that was that.
Obi-Wan knew the moment that she realized where she was; it was reflected in her eyes. Her cheeks turned a deep pink. He could tell she was uncomfortable. He tried not to smirk at her embarrassment but he couldn't help but feel good that she got embarrassed too. It was nice to not be the one that was always feeling stupid. She slid off of him and stood up, turning away to hide her face, which was rapidly turning pink. He stood as well and they headed for their lines. They almost reached their lines and he decided to act on his emotions, he pulled her behind the tree line and kissed her good. At first she was startled but then she relaxed and enjoyed it. They both pulled away for air. He brushed her hair out of her face and she smiled at him.
"About time you did that," she said. She was almost tempted to do it again but battle called. They shared a look that said, "After the battle." A promise, she thought. One that neither of them would break. It was forbidden but... irrisistable. She would let him go if she had to but for now, she was going to enjoy the time they had.
