This would have been up sooner if I had had acess to the internet for the past week, so I'm sorry it's late. Now for review responses:

ButterCowLuvr: Thank you. I will try to make it sooner in the future.

Esteban T. Rodriguez: No problemo. As I've said in the past and my teachers say constantly, if one person has a question there are probably more people out there with the same problem. I don't know that I've ever seen a Kool Aid packet in my life, but your description sounds pretty fun. Thanks for the review.

Jedis'Mistress: No, they can't. And at some point it's gonna come back and bite them in the arse! Thanks for the review.

obiisgod: Kecil is extremely cool, so I think you can forgive him for attacking Obi. High pitch squealing prehaps? Parents are funny, and I don't think that your parents think you are any MORE nuts than normal, their just letting you see the looks. And didn't I tell you I feel better writing action than romance? Any type of action?

Buuuttttt anywho, heres the chapter. Don't forget to review!

Keitha ran from her room, throwing her robe on her shoulders as she went to the bathroom. She skidded to a stop and flung herself through the door frame.

"KECIL!"

Obi-Wan looked at the creature sitting on the sink in front of him. It was around the size of his forearm with fluffy grey fur and had pointed ears with white tips. This was unlike anything he had ever seen before. Brown eyes looked up at him with vicious glee. It jumped at him, a thick bushy tail streaming out behind him. Claws extended from hand like paws and swiped at him. Just at this moment Keitha entered the room at a speed Obi-Wan had previously thought impossible. She cried out loudly, "KECIL!" and grabbed the ferocious ball of fluff with one hand, pulling it into an embrace close to her chest away from Obi-Wan. It immediately started to purr loudly.

"What did he do?" She sounded almost like she was demanding an answer.

"Just a little scratch. I must have startled him."

Keitha looked at the gash running across his bare chest and thrust the creature away from where it was snuggling to arms length away. She enunciated her words carefully.

"You. Do. Not. Scratch. Obi-Wan. Clear?"

The creature looked over to him, eyes looking skeptical. Obi-Wan felt the Force flow through both Keitha and the creature and knew it understood. She brought it close to her again and cuddled it. She stepped towards Obi-Wan and the creature moved to sit on her shoulders.

"Come on. I'll clean you up."

Aithne walked towards Keitha's apartment just as Obi-Wan Kenobi was leaving it. He didn't see her as he walked towards the lift. 'What the kriff? What's HE doing here?' Aithne shook her head and approached the door, pressing in the combination and entering it. Keitha was sitting down packing up a first aid kit on the table.

"Terror of the deep strike again, huh?"

Keitha looked up, blue eyes flashing an emotion Aithne was well versed with but just hadn't seen on her friend before. Guilt. "Kecil attacked Jedi Kenobi while he was here teaching me more about the living Force. My skills update with him was interrupted you know."

Aithne raised an eyebrow at the obvious lie about Kenobi but passed no comment. "Where is the ball of fluff anyway?"

Keitha looked down again, focusing on the kit. "Asleep on the middle of my bed. Should we go out and have breakfast?"

Aithne looked at her companion. "Nah. I have a previous engagement with Master Itzak. We'll have to talk some other time."

Aithne looked down and shifted her feet. 'Can't she just say whatever it is already? It's tearing us both apart!' "Well, I'll see you later."

And with that Aithne took the chicken's way out and left.

Keitha looked at the chrono on the wall. Obi-Wan was leaving for Komino soon and she wasn't about to let him get away without a proper goodbye. She left her apartment.

Aithne answered the door which had been chiming for the past 10 minutes. She had been preparing dinner for herself and it had started at a very inopportune time of the preparation. She opened the door, ready with a contemptuous look plastered on her face for the idjit which had dared annoy her, when she blinked twice hard in surprise.

"Master Windu! Come in."

She moved aside as the impressive Jedi Master walked in. "Sorry I kept you waiting but was making dinner and I couldn't get away."

Mace Windu smiled. "There is no need to apologize. Your reputation precedes you. I was expecting to be kept waiting for at least another half hour."

Aithne smiled warmly. "What can I do for you?"

The Master's smile became more serious. "Have you seen Jedi Kenobi?"

Aithne's smile disappeared and a puzzled look came to her face. "Noooo. Why would you think I would know?" Her voice was going slowly as if she was having trouble thinking but what was really happening was her mind was racing at 5,000 km/h.

Windu frowned. "The Council thought we felt his presence near a presence like yours. I have a need to talk to him before he leaves. I must have made a mistake. Enjoy your meal."

And with that he left.

Every image, every word, every look from the past few days flooded Aithne like a monsoonal rain. Realization hit her like a sack of bricks. She hissed out her frustration.

"Keitha!"
