Obi-Wan Kenobi Book 2~The Apprenticeship
Chapter 1~Growing Up
Nine years had passed too slowly for Qui-Gon Jinn. After Xanatos left the order he had become bitter, distant, and alone.
Over the course of the years he and Obi-Wan faded apart, barley ever speaking. Now Obi-Wan was growing up. He was the age when initiates get masters and become their apprentice.
Apprentice.
That was something Qui-Gon never wanted to have again. Many people thought it was common knowledge that he would take Obi-Wan as an apprentice, but Qui-Gon had pushed Obi-wan so far out of his life, he wasn't sure.
The initiate tournament was to take place the following week. Qui-Gon was expected to attend.

"Okay class, as you all know the initiate tournament is next week."
That's all Obi-Wan wanted to hear. He cut off knight Jena with his thoughts and stared out the window, lost in his mind.
'Qui-Gon will take me as an apprentice, I know he will. Today after class I will go talk to him.' He thought, trying to convince himself.
"Obi-Wan."
"What Jamie?" He said a little too snappy.
"The class ended. I thought you should wake up out of fairy land and land in the real world!" She yelled picking up her books and storming out.
Obi-Wan sighed. Jamie was his best friend. Why was he being so hard on her?
He got up silently and let his feet carry him to Qui-Gon's apartment.
When he got there he Obi-Wan looked at the nameplate.
Jinn.
He could remember when it had read Jinn/DeCruet.
Pushing memories of Xanatos aside he pushed the button.
"Come in."
Obi-Wan entered the apartment and looked around. It had been nine years since he had been in it, and everything had changed. There was barely any light, life, or color. It was dim and empty. Obi-Wan searched for any sine of Qui-Gon. He found him sitting on the couch, data pad in hand.
"Master Jinn?"
Qui-Gon looked up to see 13 year old Obi-Wan staring down at him. The older jedi searched his face for problems, but when he found none, he went back to his data pad.
"What do you need?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to talk to you."
"I'm busy Obi-Wan."
"Will you have any free time today?"
"I doubt it."
Feeling defeated Obi-Wan turned toward the door.
"Well if you do, I would enjoy it very much if you would come talk to me."
Qui-Gon nodded and Obi-Wan walked out.
* * *
Qui-Gon never did go see Obi-Wan that or the day after that.
~TBC~
I know it's short but more may be up later today or tomorrow.
