Disclaimer: * sniffle * All right, I'll admit it! I don't own Obi-Wan…or Buffy the Vampire Slayer…but I do own this idea, and Lily so NO ONE STEAL IT OR ELSE!!!

Rating: Let's keep this PG-13…language, violence, very possibly some romance if I'm in a good mood.

Note: Happy Palm Sunday!

Chapter 6~I Think I'm A Clone Now

Obi-Wan crawled into his apartment, distraught, when he saw Qui-Gon standing in front of him.

"Are you all right, my Padawan?" Qui-Gon asked.

After all the excitement with Lily, Obi-Wan had forgotten about Qui-Gon being a vampire. "I just witnessed my girl cheating on me, how do you think I am?"

"You poor thing, let me help you," Qui-Gon said, and was about to reach into his mind to influence Obi-Wan when Lily burst through the doorway.

"Obi-Wan, listen to me," Lily said, holding up her clone by her hair. "It took me four nails on each hand and a chunk of hair to bring her to you!"

"What is this?" Qui-Gon demanded. "Such displays as this can't help him forgive you!"

"Forgive me? This whore's the one who kissed the guy," Lily said, growling. "Don't forget, Obi-Wan, your Master IS a vampire."

"You mean…you aren't really trying to make me go insane?" Obi-Wan asked, moving closer to her.

"Of course not!" Lily said, hugging him, but forgetting about her clone. She started going on a rampage, breaking everything on sight to get their attention.

"What is it?" Obi-Wan asked, bringing his eyes to hers.

The replica used hypnosis through her stare to make him walk near her. Lily's cries were drowned out by Qui-Gon's hand around her mouth.

"Now, finally we'll get the ally we need!" Lily said, about to dig her fangs into Obi-Wan's neck.

"Hey guys, I have great news!" Selina said, bumping into Lily and Obi-Wan, releasing the boy from his trance.

"Thank you, Seli," Qui-Gon muttered sarcastically, letting go of the real Lily.

"Foul play?" Selina asked, looking at the clone and to Qui-Gon.

"Just leave, already, you know I'm evil, I'm sure you also figured out the whole clone thing…damn boy can't shield his feelings."

"Let's go, I have some good news," Selina said, glowing.

"Tell me!" Lily said, excited to hear what was happening.

"It looks like we get to uh…take care of Obi-Wan…until they can find a new Master for him…and well Qui-Gon may not be ejected, they're keeping a close watch on him to make sure he is indeed what we say he is," Selina said.

Obi-Wan grinned. "You mean it…I get to stay with you?"

"Would I lie? I'm always honest!" Selina said.

The three walked into the apartment and Selina sighed. She looked down at the picture of Qui-Gon she had drawn, and he wrote on the back, "Love you always, Seli."

"What's wrong, Master?" Lily asked.

Selina never told her Padawan about their past relationship. She still decided whether there would ever be a right time.
