3 Months Later, The Jedi Temple ,In The High Council Chambers
"More control and discipline a Jedi should have hmm no call there was for your Padawan to do what he did more control you should have as his master Obi wan !" The order's grandmaster said as Obi wan stood infront of the council ,fighting the urge to roll his eyes and point out that if the other Padawan had listened to him and gone to classes and not tried to attack his Padawan from behind when Obi wan was out sight then Anakin wouldn't have had to defend himself!
And honestly did the council truly think that Obi wan was teaching Anakin to solve his problems with his fists ! And come to think of it why wasn't Siri here getting a ear bashing about her 14 year old Padawan bullying Anakin constantly , was it always him and Anakin getting lectured on behaviour Obi wan thought too himself why not Siri and her Padawan onice.
Particularly as Anakin was the one who would have end up in the healers ward if Obi wan hadn't heard the fight and double back to pull the older boy off the 9 year old. It didn't seem fair that Anakin was always somehow to blame in the eyes of the Council! And come to think off it Obi wan was kind of fed up of being told that he wasn't teaching Anakin right when other masters and knight s seemed to be allowing their Padawans to run ring's around them.
Yet when he or Anakin tried to point this out to the council they were made to feel that it was somehow their folt, and Obi wan couldn't help wishing that Qui gon was here to tell him what to do to help Anakin settle into life at the temple.
As Obi wan sometimes felt like nothing he did or said to try and help the little boy was good enough , and that maybe Anakin would have been better off if Qui gon had been the one who had survived the fight with the Sith apprentice instead of himself.
'At the very least Qui gon would be better at dealing with the other children teasing and bullying Anakin in classes and Anakin's moods which were things that Obi wan had no experience in dealing with , when came to a emotionally charged child like Anakin ' Obi wan thought sadly.
Because as hard as Obi wan tried to give Anakin the help and support that he needed too progress as a Jedi Padawan, sometimes it was the blind leading the blind with him and Anakin as Obi wan just didn't have the same life experience or experience as a teacher that Qui gon had .
The sad truth was that Obi wan knew that he would never be the master to Anakin that Qui gon would have been had he lived , Obi wan knew this and he had the feeling that even the council knew this and that they were just honouring Qui gon's wishes and that they were just waiting for Anakin to do something bad enough for them to justify expelling the boy from the temple and pack him back off to his mother on Tatoonie.
While Obi wan himself would probably be sent back to Bandomere as a failure Obi wan thought himself as he waited for Master Yoda too excuse him ,from the meeting so that he could return to his Padawan who was sitting in the waiting area outside the council Chamber's waiting for him.
Ten Minutes Later
Yoda dismissed the council session and Obi wan headed out of the council chambers to collect Anakin from the waiting area, were the little boy had been sitting with Obi wans friend Garen who had been watching Anakin while Obi wan was in the meeting.
"Are the council going to send me back to my mum Master? " Anakin asked him timidly as Obi wan joined him and Garen in the waiting area, Obi wan felt his heart twist painfully at how frightened and sad the little boy sounded as he asked this.
" No Anakin they aren't going too that but I don't think that the temple is the right for either of us anymore " Obi wan replied . At this both Garen and Anakin stared at him " Obi wan what are you saying you 've wanted to be a Jedi knight for as long as I've known you! you can't seriously be thinking of throwing that away?!" Garen said now.
Obi wan sighed and said sadly" Garen the republic, senate and Jedi order are what they used to be and I 'm not sure that I want to serve a system that I don't believe work's anymore ", Obi wan told his friend as he turned and left the waiting heading down the hallway towards his and Anakins quarters " but master where would we go if we left the temple and the order? "Anakin asked as he trotted after the young knight.
" I 'm not sure Anakin , all I know that is that the force is telling me that you and I shouldn't remain on Coruscant or at the temple for too much longer " Obi wan replied."Besides wouldn't you like a chance too visit your mother if we do leave the Jedi order there wouldn't be anymore rules to stop you from seeing her if you want too " Obi wan added .
Anakin thought for a moment about what Obi wan had just said about how he could see his mum if they left the order , and Anakin had to admit he would like to be able to see his mum with out the code stopping him, but he wouldn't want to live on Tatoonie on a permanent basis again.
"But Obi wan what about my becoming a Jedi you promised me and mister Qui gon that you would train me and you can't do that if we leave the order can you? " Anakin said with wide sad sapphire blue eyes as they reached and entered their quarters.
Obi wan couldn't help but smile slightly at the little boy's assumption that leaving the order meant he wouldn't be able to be a Jedi anymore, " I can still teach you too be a Jedi Anakin if that's what you truly want me too do you don't have to be at the temple to be trained as a Jedi " obi wan told him.
Obi wan watched as a happy look lit up the little boy face as he realised that Obi wan would still train him to be a Jedi if he wanted him too, " really I would still able too be a Jedi even if we weren't at the temple anymore? " at this Obi couldn't help but smile and replie "of course you could there is more than one way to be a Jedi and you don't have to be trained at a temple to be a Jedi Anakin there many different types of Jedi and not all of them follow the code that the Jedi there at temple follow " Obi wan said now.
Three Hours Later and a lot of questions about how thing would work from Anakin and the decision to leave the order and to take Anakin with him was made , all Obi wan had left to do was tell the Council that he and Anakin wished to leave the order, pack and decide where they would go after visiting Anakins mother on Tatoonie Obi wan thought to himself.
