Title: Protecting The Hurtful
Author: Sparkling Diamond Satine
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.
Hope you have a happy Easter!

Chapter 8~Back So Quickly
Obi-Wan awoke, but through his eyes he could not see anything. He could only taste his surroundings, and it was then that he realized he didn't have the power to move his arms or his legs. He sensed that his surroundings were small, but the door was left open so he could escape. When he realized that the only way he could move was through slithering, he figured out what happened. He was the snake that bit him earlier.
He tried to open his mouth and speak, but all he could do was stick out a forked tongue and hiss. If snakes cried, he would have cried then and there, for Lily and for Selina that he couldn't save them like this…or could he?
He slithered his way out the door and down the long, dark halls out into the endless streets of Coruscant. He figured out he could glide along the air by using his cobra-like fins as wings. He may have been a snake, but he wasn't your average python.
'Don't worry, my darling Jedi, I will find you and convince to you that the imposter is not me!' Obi-Wan thought.

Lily woke up the next day with a feeling of guilt in her heart. When she saw Obi-Wan's body sleeping next to hers, she almost celebrated. She grinned at his sleeping face and placed a kiss on his forehead. She walked over to a sleeping Selina and gently nudged her awake.
"Hey dear, what's wrong?" Selina asked, and then she saw him sprawled out across the couch.
"He's back!" Lily whispered.
"I see that…but how so quickly? That can't possibly be him!" Selina said.
"You're always so skeptical! For once, believe that he somehow got away!" Lily said and skipped out into the dark hallways of the temple.
She walked past many students, none of them mocking her. They had finally tired of picking on her, as there was a new person to torture. It was always the new kid, and Lily felt bad for her.
She saw a trace of green, and when she raised her eyes she was staring face to face in the eyes of a giant snake. She tried to form words, even a scream or a squeak, but nothing came.
~*~
"Well, how's he doing?" Qui-Gon asked. "And are you quite sure the boy is who we think he is?"
"Yes he is most definitely Xanatos. And in Obi-Wan's body he'll be unstoppable. He is doing fine, but the snake has escaped and Lily is confronting the true Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan might still have some psychokinetic capabilities," a voice said, coming from somewhere inside the darker temple. A girl wearing next to nothing stepped out with long black hair tied into a ponytail wearing a golden dress.
"My apprentice…he died, though," Qui-Gon said.
"No, Xanatos was entrapped in the body of the snake, and that who was in Xanatos' body jumped. It was not as you appeared," the girl explained. She bowed before Qui-Gon and took her stance in the darkness once again.
"Thank you, Spirit Watcher," Qui-Gon said, and he left, but not before saying a silent incantation, the effects of which were not apparent with the naked eye.
~*~
Lily looked into the snake's eyes. They seemed familiar to her, those gorgeous sea blue eyes…where had she seen them before?
::Lily…it's me!:: the snake mind-projected into her.
"What…who projected that?" Lily asked, looking for the person who sent her that message.
::It's me, Lily! Your precious Obi-Wan:: Obi-Wan projected back.
"O- Obi-Wan?" Lily stuttered. "Where are you…are you still in the apartment…and if so…what the heck is going on??"
::Lily…I'm the snake! The real snake bit me and he's in my body…please, believe me!:: Obi-Wan projected.
"B-but t-this isn't p-possible! Obi-Wan…he's in my apartment!" Lily said.
::Love, that's not really me! You have to believe me…:: Obi-Wan slithered closer to her and Lily touched his scales. When the snake didn't make a move to bite her, she knew it was Obi-Wan.
"Obi-Wan!!" Lily hugged the snake and ran to her apartment with the snake slithering behind her.
~*~
Selina saw the boy wake up and smirked. "Xanatos, it's you isn't it? I've recognized those dark eyes before."
"You caught me," Xanatos said, slowly moving toward her. "It's too bad your precious Lily walked off, or else there would be someone here to stop me from doing this." He grabbed her arms and started to tie her to the post.
"You wouldn't dare…" Selina said, starting to get worried.
"Xanatos, unhand her," a voice said, from behind. It was a male voice though, not a female voice, not belonging to Lily.
"Master Qui-Gon," Xanatos said, grinning. "How nice of you to join us, here, please sit down."
"I said take your hands off of her and untie her…NOW!" Qui-Gon said.
"Oh come on, Master I was just having fun…" the boy in Obi-Wan's body pouted.
"I said NOW!" Qui-Gon yelled. "Don't make me pry your hands off of her!"
Xanatos put his arms up in the air, and Qui-Gon turned around to see why he was. Lily was standing in the doorway holding a specially designed crossbow with her ignited lightsaber propped onto it.
"I wouldn't move…or else you'll end up on the floor as a pile of dust," Lily said and pointed her crossbow at Qui-Gon because she refused to hurt Obi-Wan's perfect body.
"Hey, doll, what about me?" Xanatos asked, and he flung the crossbow up in the air with a flick of the wrist.
The snake moved in to coil around a frightened Xanatos and strangled it almost to the point of death before it bit deep into its skin, releasing its poisons into the body. Both Xanatos and the snake collapsed as the exchange of spirits took place once again.
"Qui-Gon…" Selina said, tears in her eyes. "You…bad boy…you saved my life!"
"Shh…next time you won't be so lucky," Qui-Gon spat, and walked away just as suddenly as he appeared.
"Qui-Gon wait! Why can't you just open your eyes and be good again??" Selina asked, and she collapsed into Lily's arms and cried.
"Shh, Seli, he's incapable of being good…not until we kill the snake," Lily said, with a hushed voice. "I think I have a plan."
