Summary: A heart-broken Obi-Wan runs from the temple when his master tries to take a new apprentice. (Obi/Qui Fic. Not slash, promise)
Disclaimer: I don't own star wars; I'm just in love with the characters. I make no money, though I wish I did. I'd make much more money writing than waitressing. =p
I never have done an Obi story and I completely think Qui-Gon should have been a little more heartfelt with his padawan of what? 15 years? Instead of throwing him aside, so this is obi's take on things with a little dash of my imagination. ^^
// = a memory/flashback
Obi-Wan tossed and turned in a bed in the hospital wing. Scenes of the sith flooded back into his mind with the betrayal of his master.
//"Master! Watch out!" Obi Cried as he threw himself in front of the lightsaber.. The blade cut clear through his left shoulder, impaling him through the chest. Qui-Gon watched in horror as his padawan slumped over into a pile of pained flesh on the ground. Rushing over he began to "Aggressively negotiate" with the sith. Hisses from the sabers rang through Obi-Wan's ears as life began to seep from the young lively padawan. The sith hit the ground as his lightsaber flew across the room and un-ignited as it hit the ground.
"Very well. I take Anakin Skywalker as my padawan learner." Qui-Gon announced in front of the council. "Already have an apprentice you do, Qui-Gon." Yoda remarked back to the Jedi master in quiet refusal. "Obi-Wan Kenobi is ready for the trials." He had done it. Obi-Wan had no doubts everyone in the council room could hear his weak heart break into a million pieces.//
Obi-Wan awoke with a start and glanced about the room to find it empty. He should have guessed his master wouldn't be by his side when he needed him the most. Instead Qui-Gon was with that child, Skywalker. He slipped quietly off the bed and took the last few remaining good robes he had and put them into his pack. Obi might not have been well, but he was well enough off to know what was best for him now.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Anakin ignited Obi-Wan's old training saber as if he were a pro and grinned at Master Jinn. "Like this?" Anakin asked waiting for the approval of the Jedi Master.
Qui-Gon nodded his head and smiled, "Very good Anakin. Now remember. Block, parry, block" he wanted to go easy on Anakin at first, make him remember small things about the saber. "This will save your life on many occasions and help you immensely on missions against an attacker." Qui-Gon began to explain.
"Mister Qui-Gon sir, I heard obi-Wan left the temple last night, alone. Is that true?" Anakin asked with a bit of mock concern in his voice that Qui-Gon almost instantly picked up on.
"No, Annie. I didn't. We'll take a short break. You stay here and go over those saber moves I showed you. I need to go see the healers. If you need anything master Salia is right down the hall." Qui said quickly as his saber un-ignited and he walked calmly to the doors and exited. Worry quickly filled his mind as he rushed to the hospital wing to see Obi-Wan. Surely Obi would never leave without telling his master where he was going. Qui had to find out why this rumor was spreading about to Anakin.
Qui-Gon made his way to the reception desk and start in on a conversation with the woman in charge of Obi-Wan's care. "May I see padawan Kenobi for a moment, I know he needs sleep but another padawan said he was missing this morning and I needed to, " Qui-Gon began to explain but the healers apprentice replied before he could finish.
"Padawan obi-Wan Kenobi took off last night from the temple grounds. I believe the council is in a meeting about it. Are you master Jinn?" She asked politely as she quickly went through a stack of papers and found a small envelop under them.
"Yes, that is I." He replied watching her fiddle with the little envelop.
The apprentice gave a sad attempted-comforting smile to the concerned master and handed him a note. "Take this to the council. The padawan left it here. Said that he had permission to leave, master Jinn. Please forgive me but Padawan Kenobi has never lied, I believed him and released him. Said you could only read it in the council chamber." She instructed.
"Elise? I need you back here stat! Bring the emergency kit and some Hydrogen Peroxide.!" The healer ordered. Elise dropped the Envelop into Master Jinn's hand and ran back to help her master heal someone in obvious bad condition.
Qui-Gon's heart dropped, he ached to know what was in the envelope and headed straight to the council chambers.
"Bright padawan, Kenobi is. Seen this coming, no one did." Yoda said to Master Windu as the council began to form. "Tragic our loss is, find padawan Kenobi we must. Too powerful he is to be lost to this world, or the dark side. Grave danger he is in." Yoda finished with the tap of his gimmer stick to the hard tiled floor.
"We never go scouting about for missing people, I see no difference in this case. A padawan is the master's concern, not ours." Adi gave a slight argue back, unnerved by the fact one of the top padawan learner's had ran from the temple in the darkness of night. He was so close to becoming a master himself.
"Talk to Qui-Gon we must. Find Padawan Kenobi he shall, or find padawan Kenobi, I will." Yoda announced with full responsibility in his voice. Obi-Wan had always been like a family member to him. Yoda found him when he was young and felt the force call to him. No one else had ever had that affect on the little Master.
Suddenly the doors broke open and there stood the outline of a 6'5 concerned Master Jinn, holding a small envelope with Obi-Wan's handwriting on the front, "To my friends, and Master."
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Obi wrapped his robes tightly around his shoulders to shut out the biting cold that ensnarled his weak body. It was so cold out but the night was so beautiful. The sky shone a dark blue color and the stars twinkled above him. Obi-Wan didn't know where to go, but he would find a place. Any place.
"Help! Please someone! Help!" Someone out of the shadows called to the night begging for someone to help them. The alley was dark, but wasn't ever street at night? Nothing felt like home. Obi-Wan still had his duties as a padawan to help, at least until he got out of Coruscant.
Obi-Wan ran in to help the person but an un-seen hand lashed out and grabbed him by the neck. The dark figure pulled off its hood revealing a very feminine but evil face as the body of the person slumped to the ground. She smirked and held tight onto him. "Oh lookie here, little Jedi coming to save a poor defenseless sith. My master wants you. We've got big plans in store." She grinned, as a force sedative was jammed upward into his spine knocking him until a state of unconsciousness.
~*~*~*~~*~*~*
Qui-Gon could feel an instant of pain rush through the bond with obi-Wan before shields came crashing down on the bond severing the force from the young padawan.
Yoda began to read the letter aloud to the Council and the master:
"Dear Master and Council,
As I lay here in this bed I have had time to think about the past and my future. I have dedicated 19 years to the order and I realize I must focus on making a future for myself outside the Jedi. Please don't worry for me, for I carry many people in my hearts. If you come looking, you will not find me. I'm leaving no word with anyone…for a reason. Please let Master Jinn train Anakin, for he no longer has an Apprentice and is free to find a new one. I hold nothing against you, Master Jinn. Someday maybe we'll meet again, in the force.
Signed,
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Yoda's face grew dim as the council took in the padawan's words. Shards of glass just seemed to tear Qui-Gon's heart apart as he heard the only words Obi-Wan had to say. Never had Obi been so formal with his master's name. The pain of losing his padawan almost over took him until he heard those precious words come from Yoda, "Mission we have for you. Find Padawan Kenobi you will. Personal ship I assign to you. Hurry" Yoda said impatiently slamming his gimmer stick on the floor and eyeing the tall master. Jinn gave a nod and rushed off, he knew his padawan was in danger.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Obi awoke with a dreamy gaze in his eyes. All he could see was the woman raise his own lightsaber towards him. He closed his eyes, waiting for the pain he knew would come.
The woman raised it and Swung it hard.
