"Anakin?"

Anakin looked up startled. "Yes, Master?"

Obi-Wan moved from the door to stand in front of his apprentice. "Is something wrong?"

"No."

"Then why are you crying?" Obi-Wan asked tilting his head to the side.

"No reason."

"I know you're lying, Anakin. A I see right through you B that is very pathetic if it was true."

"I miss my mom" Anakin admitted miserably wiping away tears.

"Padawan, we've talked about this! You said you would try and forget about Tatooine."

"I can forget about Tatooine!" Anakin cried, now feeling anger rise up in him" I can't forget my mom! I thought you'd understand…and sympathies" Anakin added.

"I understand" Obi-Wan said. "But I don't sympathies." Little Ani had no idea how much of a lie that was. 'But I need to train him don't I?' Obi-Wan thought 'I can't fail my master!'

"I thought you would" Anakin retorted.

"Padawan, Jedi do not have attachments. You need to let go of your former life if you want to be a good Jedi. Attachments lead to fear of loosing. Fear leads to-"

"I don't nee another lecture on attachments!" Anakin cried jumping "Besides you had attachments!"

"How is that?"

"Qui-Gon!"

Obi-Wan suppressed a shudder. "Qui-Gon was my master. It hurt to loose him."

"And I miss my mom! I feel guilty that she's still in slavery! I hate being away from her like you hate being away from Qui-Gon!"

"It's different" Obi-Wan said, his voice strained to evenness.

"How is it different?" Anakin protested" Qui-Gon was like a father to you wasn't he?"

"Yes" Obi-Wan agreed. "But the difference is, Padawan, that I let go of Qui-Gon. I don't sit around mopping about it."

Anakin had had quite enough by then. "Oh really? Well the why do you hate me?"

"I don't hate you, Padawan. If I hated you I wouldn't be training you" obi-Wan claimed defensively.

'Now YOU'RE lying. Admit it. You were jealous because mater jinn wanted to train me. And you somehow blame me for his death. And now you feel like you're stuck with me don't you!"

"That's enough, Anakin!"

"And the only reason you are training me is because it was you masters DYING wish and you're afraid that you'll fail him!" Anakin stopped abruptly at the look on Obi-Wan's face. Obi-Wan had gone pale at his last couple of sentences. Anakin wondered if he was alright but decided not to ask. 'Why should I care? He doesn't give a darn about me!'

Obi-Wan was shocked how the ten year old had saw right through to his insecurities. 'But you're no right…not completely' Obi-Wan though but didn't say anything. "Go to you room, Padawan." Obi-Wan watched Anakin stock toward his room and then slam the door behind him. Then he collapsed on the couch without even trying to suppress the sigh that wanted out.

"I am so tired of spaking words that no one uderstands

Is it clear enoght that you can't live your whole life all alone

I can hear you in a whisper but you can't even hear me screaming"
