Part 6
"Master Qui-Gon, Anakin." Yoda nodded his greeting to the two as they took there places next to Obi-Wan and Taris.
"I apologize for being late my Masters. I had a quick stop that I needed to make on the way that took much longer than I had anticipated." Qui-Gon informed the members of the Council.
"Excused you are, but try not to let it happen again." Yoda replied.
The room was silent as the Council members all exchanged quick glances before Mace finally spoke. "We have summoned all of you here today because we have received a request from the Senator of Calibo for Jedi protection for his family and himself. Lately there have been several assassination attempts made on himself and his family by some angry citizens of Calibo. The attempts have become more severe as of late and they fear that they are not safe anymore. They do no wish to leave their planet, but hope that they can negotiate a peace treaty with this angry group of people or come up with a way to appease them."
"Go you will to Calibo and protect the Senator and his family you will. Also try to discover who has been behind these attempts and why. Find out what it is they want, you will and the reason why they are angry with the Senator." Yoda said pointing at them. "Easy this mission will not be. A large planet it is and very populated it is also. Any number of people it could be. Some suspects the Senator already as. Look into their backgrounds you will but also keep your ears and eyes open. Accept this mission do you Master Kenobi?"
"Yes Masters." Obi-Wan answered giving him a half nod.
Yoda turned his cool gaze toward Qui-Gon and Anakin. "And you Master Qui- Gon? Do you accept this mission?"
Qui-Gon locked eyes with Yoda. "Yes Masters."
Mace leaned back in his chair and looked at the four Jedi standing in front of him. "Your transport for Calibo leaves after midday meal today. May the force be with you."
Obi-Wan, Taris, Qui-Gon, and Anakin all bowed respectively to the Council before quietly leaving the room.
Obi-Wan hung back by the Jedi Council doors and waited for Yoda and Mace to exit the room. Taris paused and looked back at her Master to see if he wanted her to stay with him. Obi-Wan smiled and nodded towards Anakin and Qui-Gon who had stopped to. "Go along with them. I need to talk to Master Yoda about something. I'll catch up with you in a little bit."
"Yes Master." Taris replied as she turned and began to walk towards Anakin. As she followed them her thoughts began to wander. 'What does my master need to talk to Master Yoda about that he doesn't want me around to hear?' She sighed as Anakin slowed down his stride and began to walk next her instead of in front of her. She gave him a quick smile as they began to talk.

Obi-Wan watched as Taris turned around and left. Undoubtedly she was curious as to what he wanted to talk to Master Yoda and Master Windu about, but she would never ask him. She knew that if it was something important or something she needed to know he would tell her afterwards. He was snapped out of his thoughts when the Council doors opened and all the Council members filed out of the room talking.
Master Yoda, whom was closely followed by Master Windu, caught sight of Obi- Wan waiting by the wall and approached the young man, as did Master Windu. "Troubled you are young Kenobi." He stated looking at the young man. "About the mission and your Padawan I feel."
"Yes Master." Obi-Wan agree with him. Leave it to Master Yoda to know what was troubling him before he even uttered a word. "I'm not sure if it is wise that Taris and I be chosen for this assignment. Calibo is her home planet and I am well aware that her parents are still living there with her brother and sister. I'm also aware of the fact that she remembers her home and parents since she was older than most initiates when she first came to the Temple. She came here when she was 4 years old and has some memories of her parents." He paused for a moment before continuing. "Another thing is that her parents have since regretted their decision to let her come to the Temple."
"Aware of all this the Council is Master Obi-Wan." Yoda said as he walked along side Obi-Wan and Mace.
"Yes Master I know, but what worries me is that Taris still has some emotional ties to her planet and parents. I know that the chances of seeing her parents while we are there aren't very great, but I fear that if we were to see them and run into them then that may cause some problems for my Padawan and some confusion." Obi-Wan finished his thought and waited for some type of an answer from one of the two Masters. He sighed as he thought about the doubts he had just expressed to them and began thinking. It wasn't that he didn't trust his Padawan or believe in her full commitment to the Jedi, it was just that he didn't know how she would react to being on her home planet and knowing of the possibility of seeing her parents again.
"Obi-Wan, the Council is sure that whatever may happen on Calibo your Padawan will be able to handle and make the right decisions. She has never shown any signs of wavering from the Jedi path, but if that is what she chooses then her choice it is to make." Mace Windu said glancing at the younger man. "We have faith that nothing will happen although something could. You do not need to worry about how she will react to seeing her parents again unless that situation occurs."
Obi-Wan nodded. "Yes Master."
Mace looked at Obi-Wan questionably as he asked him a question that he had meant to ask him, or rather Taris, earlier in the Council room. "Do you know why your Padawans earlier excitement and curiosity changed so suddenly to fear and foreboding?"
"No Master Windu, I do not. She hasn't spoken anything of it to me as of yet. I think that whatever cause the shift has to do with what was bothering her last night. Although I do not know what that was either. I just know that she was unable to sleep that night. I'm sure that she will tell what it is when she feels the time is right."
Obi-Wan soon left Yoda and Mace to return to his quarters and pack for the upcoming mission before he headed to the cafeteria for his midday meal. He contemplated the mission while he ate and tried to sort at all of his thoughts to no avail. He sighed and stood up when he finished his meal before dumping the leftovers in the trash and heading back to his quarters to retrieve his Padawan and go to the landing platform where they would be leaving.
I just want to take a minute to thank the people who have read my story so far and left a review. So.
Bekah_K - Thanks. I'm glad to see that you're finding my story interesting so far and actually want to see what will happen next. Lol. I will continue writing so don't worry. As far as who they're going on a mission with.well.I dunno. You'll just have to wait and see. (
eris wannabe - Thank you for the review too! ( I'm glad you like it and be on the lookout for part/chapter 6 soon.
Odyssey - Thanks for the f/b! I'm glad that Obi-Wan seems believable! ( Hope you continue to read my story.
Note: This is to everyone/anyone who is reading this story. I can't promise as to when I'll have part/chapter 6 up. It may take me a while without some help because I'm not very good with the whole coming up with missions and stuff like that. I have a ruff idea of what I want to do, but other than that. Lol. So it may take maybe a week. Maybe more, maybe less. Thanks for reading my story (or what I have so far) and please leave a review! Thanks again. Also I've been trying to figure out how to make italics and bold faced lettering. I know how to do it on my website and the ezboards, but not here.
