No review responses since I'm uploading this at the same time as the other chapter, so there is very little to say but ENJOY!

"How is she?"

Aithne looked at the gleaming med droid in front of her. They were in the waiting area of a med bay. It was sterilized and white. Painfully white. The whiteness glared off of the walls, floor and ceiling into Aithne's eyes, making her squint. 'To bright. Stupid med bays…' But this time she had to be there. Keitha was in there.

"She will be fine. The punctured lung is healing well and she will be able to leave tomorrow."

The med droid's voice was soothing; obviously it was designed to be. Keitha hadn't been the only Jedi that she had saved that day. There were 4 others in this illuminated house of healing. She had gone through 15 bodies to find those 4 others though.

"Thank you for your assistance."

The droid hovered off and Aithne left. She had a certain someone to tell.

Obi-Wan was trying hard to listen to Mace Windu, but it was hard to concentrate on the man when he had no idea whether Keitha was alive or dead. Whether she was okay. Those thoughts were eating him alive. Windu turned slightly.

"Can I help you Jedi Aithne?"

'Aithne…' The name was familiar to Obi-Wan, but he was having trouble placing it.

"Yes Master Windu. May I take Jedi Kenobi off of your hands for a moment?"

Then it clicked. She was Keitha's friend.

"Of course. We'll continue this later Obi-Wan."

Windu moved to leave and Aithne started to walk down the long corridor of the Jedi Temple. Obi-Wan jogged to catch up to her.

"What can I help you with?"

"She's alive and will be released tomorrow."

The news caught him off guard and he smiled. Aithne turned to look at him face on.

"I know what you're doing. Don't break her heart."

Obi-Wan was again taken by surprise.

"Excuse me?"

Aithne's eyes turned hard.

"You heard me. This should never have happened. You should never have let it get to this stage."

Obi-Wan went on the defensive.

"I'm sorry, what has this got to do with you? And what makes you think that this isn't as much her fault as it is mine."

She sighed and turned away from him, walking now slowly down the corridor.

"The only reason I'm doing this is for her. Personally, I want to shoot you into space without a vacuum suit or dice you into small pieces, leaving your vital organs intact so you're alive for it all. But I'm not going to do that, and it's not because of my legendary restraint."

He smiled. Aithne was known for her impulsiveness, not her restraint. In fact, she was well known for not having any.

"Can you tell her I love her?"

She looked back.

"What?"

"I can't go myself or she'll be kicked out of the order or on some border assignment for an unknown amount of years. Can you do that, for me?"

Aithne looked ready to flip her top, try to kill him or something, but when he felt her out in the Force he was surprised to feel how calm she was. How calculated she was. It was then that he realized the legends surrounding her were wrong. Very wrong. 'This is an act, though for whoI have no idea.'

"I'll see what I can do."

And with that she left.

Obi-Wan sat in his room thinking. 'She would have talked to Keitha by now, that much is certain.' The door comm beeped and he got up to answer it.

"Master."

"Anakin. Come in. Why did you beep the comm? You could have just walked in."

The young man looked exhausted but there was an exited feel about him. He felt… different. Obi-Wan felt he knew the answer but needed to check.

"Is Senator Amildala home safe?"

Anakin's slight blush and small smile as he answered told him everything he needed to know. 'So I'm not the only one keeping secrets.'

From here on in there will be big time gaps as I am not very learned about the clone wars books. It isn't my speciality. But that means after 2 more chapters there will be the begging of the end; The Revenge Of The Sith!
