1Author's Notes: Hello readers. Sorry about the long wait, holidays and all, blah. Anyway, we'll be getting back to the story now, Sonic and Angel have a lot of trouble ahead of them, filled with confusion and all. Enjoy and keep up those reviews.

Chapter 14: Black Cupid.

Sonic and Angel were dropped off at Dax's diner. Through out the whole trip they kept looking at each one at a time wondering what they should do or say. Upon arriving, Angel quickly hopped out of the cab and went up to the door before she stopped to calm down. She was so mad at herself now, her job was to kill the Jedi not fall for him. Sonic was in even worse condition. He was a Jedi, he wasn't suppose to be even thinking of falling in love above all with his own padawan.

He took in a deep breath, paid the driver, and calmly walked up to her, "So..."

She jumped slightly hearing his voice, "I'm fine," she walked in the diner and walked quickly to a table in the far corner.

Sonic came in, passing up Dax before he could catch him, and went to the table with her, "What do you feel like having?"

She kept her hood up and was staring down at the table going over what was going to happen to her when her master found out, "I'm sorry.." she looked up a bit at him keeping her eyes hidden, "Something light..." she bent her head back down.

He sighed and nodded. When the droid came for their order he asked only for Java Juice and a small bowl of soup. When the droid left he turned back to her at a complete loss of words. He just sat there staring at her rubbing his hands nervously.

After five minutes, she finally got the sense he was watching her and looked up completely at him, "Listen, either say something or leave. You staring is making me nervous."

"I'm sorry it's just..."

"I know I know. Look, it didn't happen."

"But Angel...it did."

Her eyes flashed red, "No! It didn't!" Everyone in the diner turned staring at them. She sat there with quicken breath and red cheeks from embarrassment.

"Angel, like it or not, it did," he placed his hand on hers making her jump a bit to move it away; she couldn't, "but we're not going to let it ruin us."

Outside the diner, a probe droid was watching them as they talked. Darth Xin was watching a holographic image of them in his dark lair. With every second of watching them holding hands, his hatred grew, "Soon, my young apprentice, you and your new love will have no worry of what you are. You'll have all eternity."

Angel looked up at him smiling a bit just to amuse him. The droid arrived with the food and she started eating. Xin finally got fed up and walked out of his lair going to a speeder, "It ends once their alone..." he took off heading to the city.

Author's Notes: Short yes, but leading. We're finally getting to the climax of the story. I just have to work through this darn writers block. If the story starts losing its touch, be sure to let me know, criticism makes story's better while still in being created. See you in Chapter 15.
