Chapter 11: Love and the Military

The next few days were all bliss. I've never known love before, and I realized I had been missing out on a wonderful emotion. Kara was wonderful. I liked the way, after long day, she would rub my back. I like that a lot. She would greet me each a day with kiss, and every night, before she left, she'd seal day with a kiss, also.

She didn't bother really dressing anymore before she came. She'd show up, her blouse on but still in pajama bottoms. It was cute.

Lately I have been trying to rid myself of my annoying tendency of running my hand through my hair when aggravated. Kara, had convinced me not to. If I may quote, "Oh, don't do that Obi, It's quite sexy" So I gave up. For her sake, of course.

So far it's been good. Nothing from the council or the bored. Lets just hope it stays that way.

Last night was still a blur. It was a Friday and that meant shore leave for the whole ship. I spent it with Kara. I took her to a nice restaurant and we came back here to her small office. After that, I serenaded her with a small song, like I had promised her. She love's it when I sing to her. She would smile and blush, and giggle a lot. Then we sat and talked for what seemed an eternity. I was grateful for that. She asked of my days as a padawan, and about Master Qui-Gon.

"I would have loved to meet Master Jinn" She said quietly, looking into her whine glass.

"Yes, He would have loved to meet you. You have the same personality's."

"Really?"

"Yes. Smart, graceful, stubborn, always sticking to what you truly believe in, with an almost regal air about you." I said smiling at her. She blushed.

The night had gone well. It was depressing when she took her leave.

Well now the next day, I sit at the small table in my quarters, sipping tea and reading the Aldraan Post. We are obviously on Aldraan right now. I hear knock at my door, I smiled, hoping it was Kara.

I open my door and frowned, "Yes?" Three men stood at my door.

"General Obi-Wan Kenobi?"

"Yes...."

"You are under arrest for breaking Military Code #1987P36OU That forbids love or sexual interactions between rank." The man said as two officer placed laser-cuffs around my wrists.

* Tears were streaming down my face. The worst has happened. They found out. I don't know how, but they did.

"Obi-Wan!" I whispered as I saw them bring him in. He dawned his Jedi uniform, his head held high. His eye's made contact with mine, and he smiled. A small half a smile, but a smile all the same.

"General Obi-Wan Kenobi, you are permitted to the stand" The Justices voice boomed. They shoved Obi-Wan onto his knees in front of the Justice.

"You are under arrest for breaking Military code #1987P36OU. Do you deny it?"

His eye's flicked once more to mine "No."

"Very well" the Justice rubbed his forehead. " Sargent Kara Goodman, step forward"

The guard pushed me forward, but made me stand, and not on my knees.

"You are under arrest for breaking Military code #1987P36OU and for fraternizing with a higher rank corporal. Do you deny it?"

"No" I said, my voice calm.

"Then let it be so." the justice banged his desk, "Council, discuss this we must" The Justice and five other members of the Military Council left to discuss. They moved me back to the place I was, Leaving Obi-Wan on his knee's. His now gray eye's meet with mine.

"I love you" He mouthed. I mouthed it back.

A few moments later the Justice and his council came back out.

"We, the council have arrived at a verdict." The Justice stated, "We, the council, find General Obi-Wan Kenobi guilty of the crime."

I gasped and couldn't suppress a small scream.

"You, General, had the power to stop this when it started. And we know that the Jedi Council ordered it to stop as well. We, the council hold you with the highest doing in this crime, and there by sentence you to death, by blaster." The Justice looked over at me, "Unless the second guilty party has another say?"

Obi-Wan shot me a stern look. I wanted to scream no and for them to take me.

"Don't" He mouthed to me.

"Fine then. Let it be so." Obi-Wan nodded and stood. His posture was straight and his head was held high. "Any last words General Kenobi?"

He turned to face me, "I will always love you Kara." and he turned back, closing his eyes as he did so. The tears were coming on hard now.

"Undertaker." The undertaker stepped about 3 feet away from Obi-Wan. He raised his blaster and took aim......

* I heard the blaster fire, I heard a scream. The only problem was I was still breathing. I opened my eyes right in time to see Kara fall to the floor.

"NO!!!!!!!!!" I screamed falling with her and catching her head in my hands. I swallowed hard. My hands were shaking as I held her there in my arms, dying.

"I couldn't....I...." She started. I placed a shaking finger on her lips.

"Shhhh, save your breath."

"Come What May..." She sang in a whisper so low, it could be heard by me only.

"No..." I whimpered. I looked down to see where she had been shot. It was like a bad case of deja vu. She had been shot straight through the stomach. I stared wide eyed at the wound. Blood was seeping every which way, including onto myself.

"Till...my...dying day..." She sang, stroking my face and riding me of some tears and streaking blood onto it. They were quickly replaced by double that.

"Please, Kara no...."

"I will love you." She sang still, her voice now horse. "Clouds...may... may gather..."

"And stars may collide, But I'll love you, until the end of time" I finished for her.

She stroked my face once more and fell still and silent. I closed her eye lids after one last look into her dazzling brown eyes. I hugged her close and placed one last kiss on the lips that I cherished. Tears were now hot and fat, and my breathing came in sobs. There was a stinging inside. A feeling like some one took a butcher knife to my insides.

Two guards came and lifted her limp body out of my arms.

"Don't worry Sir. We'll be very careful." Said a young guard.

"Thank you."

"Kenobi, Stand." The Justice called to me. Numbly I stood. I starred down at my hands that were covered with her blood. Flash backs of Master's death flooded and collided in my mind with what had just happened.

"Guards take him to a cell, The Council and I must discus this." the Justice yelled. I felt a two pairs of hands on mine and they lead me to a cell.
