Kikyo's POV~
Kikyo was walking with Mace around the temple. She was thinking a lot. Her sister looked like she had fed. She wasn't sure how without anyone finding out either.
"You seem distracted young one." Mace said glancing at her as they walked. "What is troubling you?"
"Oh nothing," she said, still distracted.
"Kikyo, you do realize I can read you. Right?" he laughed.
She smiled slightly. "Yeah, I forgot. It's just this whole thing with her. I'm worried about it. And... She looked healthy. Like she already fed. But how could she without them finding out? It's all so confusing."
"I see, it would be bad if she did."
"Please excuse me, master. I just want some time alone," Kikyo said and walked away.
She wasn't alone for long when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist. "I can sense your troubled mind from across the temple," Obi-Wan murmured in her ear. "What's wrong Kikyo?"
He asked holding her gently. They were off in a little alcove where no one could directly see them.
"I think my sister fed. When we all saw her, she looked in control. And didn't look as tired," her head was down. "I hope this month goes by fast, so we can get her. It's feeling like years."
"I know, I'm sorry things seem so bleak right now," Obi said and kissed the side of her head gently.
She smiled a little at the caress. "I just don't want the sith to find out about her..." she told him.
"Don't worry, we will get her and she'll be safe here with us. I promise." Obi-Wan said simply giving her a little smile of encouragement.
"Can... I ask something?"
"Anything," he smiled. "Do you have Sith Holocron a here as well as Jedi?"
"Yes... a few... but they are kept under strict lock and key... even I don't know how to access them... why?" He asked frowning a little.
Things like that made him very nervous.
"Our father made Holocron's, just for her. Just like our mother did. She may ask to see if there are any here. She used to get visions of him, but it stopped from what I know."
Obi didn't say anything but was in thought. "I can always bring it up to the counsel and see what they say."
"Thank you. There's just so much to do before she comes."
"I know there is. Try not to worry so much Kikyo." He said kissing her temple again and smiling at her. "Frowning does not suit you." He smirked at her gently.
They hear Kikyo's stomach grumble and he looks at her. "Dinner time. Want to join Anakin and I?"
"Yes please," she smiled.
He grinned and kissed her forehead again before he moved off, and a moment later Kikyo followed him. Food always put a smile on her face.
They go to the mess hall and see Anakin and Rex sitting. Plo Koon is just sitting by them talking.
"Hello Rex!" Obi said. "I didn't know you were joining us."
He disliked being stuck on one place for so long. He was used to being on the field, and being on active duty. Waiting around was boring and felt like a waste of his time.
"It'll only be a few weeks Rex I promise," Kikyo promised him, as she sat next to Obi-Wan.
"Yeah, you finally get a vacation from the war. And we need you in your best mental state and health," Obi added.
"So Kikyo. What is your sister like?" Plo asked. "I've read as much as I can about reports of her, but what are the little things I should know?"
"She... I know she had a temper at times and she was wild and impulsive... this may sound strange but it's so hard to remember anymore..." she said frowning and looking upset with herself
"Don't worry, you will have plenty of time to get to know her all over again," Anakin said. "It's going to be odd at first and hard, but she'll get used to it. I'm sure."
They continued to eat and talked about various missions they went on. Next their conversation happened upon a report they got about Both.
"The Republic defenses have fallen..." Obi-Wan read with a frown. "We had them so well reinforced..." he said shaking his head as he read the death toll."They had such a good blockade. Probably Grevious and his drones," Rex said and sighed. The conversation went on more until Anakin was joking around with Obi-Wan.
