Still ignoring his master Anakin flipped up side down and went under the belly of the ship and fired up at it, hitting it in the unprotected belly Anakin blew the ship up. He then twisted his ship to the left and fired at the next ship, hitting it on the spot. As it plummeted down through space Anakin turned the ship around and headed back toward the two Jedi masters. Anakin could practically hear Obi-Wan's frown of disapproval.
"That was unnecessary, Anakin! We could have just retreated."
"Yeah. well I didn't feel like they deserved mercy." Anakin countered.
"Be mind full of your thoughts Anakin, they betray you."
"Yes master."
Anakin frowned and turned in his seat to look at Adeana.
"Are you alright?" He asked her.
She nodded, her eyes slightly glazed.
"Yes I'm fine. Why?" Obi-Wan said over the radio.
"Not you master. Adeana. She has a nasty gash on her head. I think it may need medical attention."
"Oh," Obi-Wan said. "We will head back to Coruscant then."
With that they headed off to Coruscant, going as fast as their starfighters would allow. They stopped at a landing station half way there, looking for a ship that could jump them to the city planet.
When Anakin jumped down from the starfighter he helped Adeana down, she still looked on the verge of fainting. Mace Windu came over and looked at her wound, it was rather deep and was beginning to bleed again.
"I'm fine!" Adeana said as Mace questioned her on how she felt. "But what about the queen?" She asked.
"The one shot was a decoy, and we won't be needed at the real queen's side any more. She has decided not to go to any more public events." Obi-Wan said, he then turned to Anakin.
"What did you do with the one who killed the decoy?" He asked his padawan.
"I killed him." Anakin answered simply.
Obi-Wan frowned. "You should have taken him alive, that way we could have interrogated him on who his employer was."
"And do you think he would have told?" Anakin asked in return.
"None the less always take someone like that into custody."
"So that he can escape and harm more people." Anakin muttered to himself.
"What?" Obi-Wan asked who had turned back around to Adeana.
"I said yes master." Anakin lied.
They found a jumper and quickly boarded it, leaving right away. Adeana seemed to be getting better but Anakin stayed by her side the whole trip, not being able to stand the thought of leaving her. He had been so close to losing her, so close, it would never happen again, Anakin vowed to himself, never.
When they reached Coruscant Anakin escorted Adeana straight to the Jedi temple, staying with her as the medical droids patched her up. Luckily it was nothing serious, much to the relief of Anakin. When the droids were done with her Adeana stood and wrapped her arms around Anakin, he did the same to her.
"Thank you Anakin." She said softly. "I was afraid I would never see you again."
Anakin stepped back so that he was looking straight in her eyes.
"You will never have to worry again." He said, his voice strong and sure. "I promise I will protect you, I will let nothing ever happen to you again. I swear it."
Adeana smiled and laid her head against Anakin's chest.
"I love you Anakin." She said.
Anakin laid his head against hers.
"I love you to Adeana. We will have to keep it a secret thoe. I am sure our masters would not approve." He said, a hint of a smile on his lips.
Adeana nodded against his chest and sighed, not a sigh of boredom, but a sigh of contentment. She could stay this way forever, her body locked perfectly against his, their hearts beating as one, their love for each other strong and resolute.
