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.
Enjoy your Spring Break!

Chapter 9~Captured
Once the spirits were exchanged, and Obi-Wan was once again within his body, the duo caged the snake up in a strong durasteel cage. They weren't about to allow this perfect opportunity to lose the snake when they could find a way to destroy it.
"I thought I lost you…" Lily said, holding him close to her. She let her face graze gently across hers and loved the feel of his skin against hers.
"You'll never lose me…not even to that…thing," Obi-Wan said, pointing to the now-snarling snake.
"What, you mean Xanatos? Well…I probably could have…" Lily said, looking away.
"You mean…that's…XANATOS?" Obi-Wan asked, with a hint of disbelief hidden in his voice.
The snake seemed to nod and grin with its lipless mouth. It rolled over in its small cage, and tried its best to get comfortable.
"Wow that thing is starting to freak me out…" Obi-Wan said.
"What about it?" Lily asked. "I mean…it looks like just a normal snake…almost acts like a normal snake…only bigger."
"Well…it's acting more like…well…Xanatos…" Obi-Wan said.
Lily laughed. "What's so bad about that guy…?" she asked.
"Everything…he used to be my Master's Padawan…until he turned to the Dark Side," Obi-Wan said, looking away. He knew his Master had always been comparing them, and now that he had a vague idea of what was going on, he knew exactly what he would do.
"Oh…I'm sorry…I had no idea," Lily said, feeling regret in her throat.
"It's…okay," Obi-Wan said, hugging her.
Lily kissed his forehead and smiled. "I think if we get rid of this snake, the forever darkness part will end and I have a hunch that some vampires will turn good again…of course it's just a hunch…"
"Where's Seli?" Obi-Wan asked suddenly.
"I don't know…she was here a minute ago…" Lily said, looking around.
~*~
"Seli…what do you want?" Qui-Gon asked, standing so that his back was turned away towards her.
"You know what I want…" Selina said. "We had something before…then you had to go and break it up and ruin my life…" Selina said with tears in her eyes. "Now I just want to make sure you don't have the same thing happen with my Padawan."
"Well I'm sorry if that happens, but that's not what we have planned next," Qui-Gon said. "You're welcome to stay…well if you stay permanently, of course." Qui-Gon turned around and laughed. With a motion of his hand, he shut the door, locking it.
Selina looked around and noticed she was surrounded by Sith vampires. She knew there was no way out…except to use her lightsaber. She smirked and ignited it.
"Well…who wants to die first?" Selina asked, and with a flick of the wrist, she summoned the vampires around her and a fight ensued.
~*~
Lily sat in Obi-Wan's lap and waited. There was not much more they could do because their Masters were both away and they were supposed to wait for Selina before going to the work out room.
"We can't just sit around here and wait forever…what if Selina actually went to Qui-Gon to face off with him once and for all?" Lily asked.
"She said to wait…we can't disobey your Master…" Obi-Wan said holding her close to him.
"But what if they do get to her? We can't possibly destroy the snake without Seli's help…" Lily said, trying to squirm out of Obi-Wan's lap, but he held her too tight.
"They won't get her on their side…trust me, I know what I'm doing," Obi-Wan said.
::Do you really know what you're doing?:: the snake mind projected to Obi- Wan with a most slimiest smile ever.
Obi-Wan rolled his eyes and loosened his grip around Lily. "Some times I wish I could just cut him in half with my lightsaber…"
"Yes…but that would be too easy. I have a feeling we have to go back to that very same volcano his body fell into," Lily said, with a grim look on her face.
~*~
Seli got rid of the last oncoming vampire and smirked when she turned around to face Qui-Gon…but Qui-Gon was a lot closer to her than she thought he would be and he captured her. "Hello, my dear…"
"What are you going to do to me?" Selina asked, suddenly letting her fear show.
"I think you know very well what I'm going to do," Qui-Gon smiled, revealing his fangs once again.
"Oh gods…now I regret telling Obi-Wan and Lily to wait for me…" Lily said and closed her eyes as the sharp pain filled her neck and she was forced to drink from his arm.
~*~
"Do you think we'll see her again?" Lily asked, suddenly feeling a break in her bond with Selina, and losing her comforting presence.
"Oh…we'll definitely see her again…just not the REAL her," Obi-Wan said, glaring at the snake. "This is all your fault, isn't it?"
The snake nodded and grinned…if a snake could grin it would have at least.
"Stupid snakes…now I see why Qui-Gon hated them," Obi-Wan said, and he fell back on Selina's comfortable bed.
"We can't fall asleep tonight…not with a new vampire roaming around…we need to stay awake, because Selina will be able to get through the door," Lily said.
"We'll take turns," Obi-Wan said. "This way we can at least get some sleep. If anything happens, then we'll wake the other up," Obi-Wan said.
"Good idea! Sounds familiar…like in a book I just read…" Lily said. "Oh yeah! I remember…you wouldn't have heard of it, it was only released on Earth."
"What book?" Obi-Wan asked, raising his eyebrow.
"The 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy…" Lily said, grinning. "Ah that Legolas…"
"Hey…I'm sure he doesn't compare to me," Obi-Wan said, and laughing, he pulled Lily onto the bed and tickled her.
