wow. fourth chapter took me longer than i wanted. so srry to everyone and tnx for the suport. so does anyone have a idea witch role hiro is going to play in this story? if you think to know than tell me in the reviews.
raoul steps down the stairs in to the garden. and took a deep breath. he turned around to see ashoka's stunned smiled.'' beautiful. is it not?'' ashoka walked down the stairs as well in to the garden, and Raoul walked besides her.
they walked over a small bridge, that was going over a small the beginning of the river there was a waterfall, and at the end of the river was a lake. ashoka stopped she saw some tasty looking creatures swimming in that pool. Raoul noticed ashoka's behavior he smiled and thought 'probably her instinct that is telling her to hunt.'
'' those fish look tasty. don't they?''ashoka turned around embarrassed, her leku darkened a few shades. ''y-yes they do.''she stuttered raoul laughed at her reaction.'' no need to be embarrassed ashoka. i'll ask hiro if he could buy some of those type fish for dinner tomorrow''
ashoka looked back in to the water it made her feel so sighed ''thanks your right i shouldn't be embarrassed i guess it's just my nature.''raoul pointed at some rock's in the garden.'' come let's go over there. it's a great place to relax and think. raoul sad down legged and closed his eyes.
his breathing slowed down and became more controlled. ashoka took place next to him in the same way. she could clearly feel a energy switch within raoul. this helped her relax. she took a deep breath and thought.'last night that voice who was that? i recognized it but i can't come up whit the name or face.' she focused even more, yet still nothing happened.
''who was it?'' she thought again '' you have met her before. but where?'' she kept thinking fro half a hour but still nothing. so she gave up. this caused her to hear raoul's thoughts. '' now i have to find a way, to stop those bullies, from picking on ashoka.'' ashoka thought 'bullies who could that be?'
however she thought out loud and raoul heard it. she could sens that his energy field got disturbed, and lost focus. he tried to regain it, but it was impossible, so he dropped his meditation and looked at ashoka.'' you heard that how?'' ashoka used her hand to support her head. and her finger, she tapped her chin she. '' I think through the force.''
raoul knew that she was certain about that and just acted dumb. he stood up and said. ''well anyway, don't worry about those bullies. i'll deal whit them.'' he turned around and mumbled ''like always.'' ashoka had heard that and stood up too and clapped her hand's ''so where are we going to next.'' raoul looked to ashoka and pointed at a building in the garden
''you see that little house there.'' ashoka looked at the direction raoul was pointing at. and gave a Small continued ''we call that a dojo. it mean's training hall/ ground.'' they walked to the dojo, and stepped in side the . raoul bow before entering. he gestured to ashoka to do the same. she gave a small bow.
she saw hiro bussy whit a long piece of steel. he was preparing to slice a piece of meat in half. to ashoka's shock he did it in one slice. she looked dumbfounded at raoul, who was now bussy for his own. he had a long half round stick in his hand and a projectile whit a scharp point. he laid the projectile on the piece of wood. he narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.
hiro had also noticed him preparing and said. '' remember you get only one shot so make it count.'' raoul nodded and took a second breath in one smooth motion, he focused on the goal, strained tendon and shot the arrow. the arrow sliced through the air whit a buzzing sound. and came with a thump in the goal of straw.
ashoka's eyes widened that shot was almost perfect. yet raoul looked disappointed. hiro walked to the shooting disk. he took out the arrow ''shoot again this time faster and more accurate. i know you can do better. every shot has to be perfect or else it could be the end of your live!'' hiro said strict. raoul took another breath raised the bow aimed and took the shot three time's, within the same second.
ashoka looked stunned when all three arrow's where smack right in the middle of the target. hiro smiled in approval '' see told you that you could do better.'' raoul was beaming with happiness'' yes thank you sensei.'' he walked to ashoka and smiled. she looked stunned at him
''that was amazing. i thought that the first shot was good, but that second try! how in the force did you do that?!'' raoul scratched his chin and said '' well it start's whit training and concentration. that was why i meditated in the sen garden. to clear my mind and to focus. also balance is important. make sure your breathing is right and at last feel the flow of the energy use your senses hear and feel the wind. than take the shot.''
ashoka looked serious and said '' you have to learn me.'' raoul taped his chin ''well i guess that i could show you tomorrow. ashoka looked threatening and pulled him by the arm '' no now!'' raoul sensed that she was eager to learn it so he sighted '' ok fine but keep in mind i'm no master at it.''
ashoka ran at the weapon rack and took a bow plus arrows. ''so how do i shoot?'' she asked exited. raoul laughed'' you don't first you need to chose your make it your self. i made mine a old Japanese tactic. i used layers of wood and bamboo gluing together (with isinglass). As a result, the bow was both tighter and more flexible.''
ashoka's eyes lit up .making her own weapons made her always feel better. so maybe she should make a bow too.''can you help me...?'' ashoka looked down a bit shy ''can i help you with what?'' raoul asked knowing the answer.
ashoka looked up again ''can you help me, making my bow?'' raoul nodded.''sure i can! i'll get the materials wait here please.'' raoul ran off and hiro walked to ashoka '' he is better than he thinks, keep a close eye on that boy an you can learn a lot from him.'' whit that hiro left in to the garden
raoul came back whit some materials and sat down next to ashoka. ashoka looked curious at him.'' so how are we going to make this thing?'' raoul thought for a sec and started
after 7 hours the yumi bow was finally done they placed the bow in the weapon rack and raoul's stomach started to growl ''dam i'm hungry time to eat i guess.'' ashoka looked up ''hmm yea i'm getting hungry to so what do we eat.'' raoul shrugged his shoulder, '' don't know we could eat a pizza it's easy to there is not much meat on it.''
ashoka laughed.''don't worry i can live a day without meat.'' raoul raised a eyebrow ''well i can't so i'll bake some bacon too.''ashoka looked questioning ''bacon what is that?'' raoul tapped his chin wile walking ''it's a salty type of meat whit a great taste,that is easy to recognize once you've tasted it.''
''sound's good.''responded ashoka. they walked in to the home in to the living room '' you can sit and watch some tv if you want. do you know how it work's?'' ashoka shook her head as she sat down. raoul picked the remote control from a drawer. and presed the on button. ashoka shocked ,as a colored screen appeared.
raoul pressed a few numbers ''here this is a channel called history HD you might find something about our history here.'' ashoka nodded and raoul left for the kitchen.''
after 15 minutes raoul came back with some food and sat down next to he placed down the food he said''this round thing is a pizza and these half round things are bacon.'' ashoka took a piece of both
a question entered her mind ''say raoul? i have heard something on tv, and i was wondering about it. how did you technology get a drop back? i mean roman city building was pretty advance ,for that time. but in the middle ages it was, to say it flat out, utter crap. how did that happened?''
raoul looked at ashoka with a smile that said. a easy answer. '' well that is not so hard to explain you see the answer is simple. the roman empire was really advanced but greedy. they attacked barbaric tribes without warning and other tribes got word of that. a tribe was a easy pray for the roman empire because of the technological differences. but as i said other tribes got word of that and started working together as a coalition against the roman empire.''
''but still what does that have to do whit the city building style?'' wondered ashoka raoul continued '''well the roman empire grew to fast and there were a lot of factors leading to its downfall. inflation,religious and cultural differences, and the war whit other great nations. the barbaric tribes saw it as the time to attack and take back what was once the roman people had build got raised to the ground.''
ashoka frown.''but why?'' raoul had that same smile as at the beginning '' again simple. they saw roman as evil monsters disguised as human' for everything they had build was demonic and should have been destroyed. just a few things remained standing.''
ashoka understood what had happened. '' i see so it basically destroyed itself by doing horrible things?'' raoul shook his head. '' no they didn't do much horrible things. except from slavery and corruption.'' ashoka growled. it was clear to raoul that she had some sort of history with slavery. however he decided not to ask.
they started eating and ashoka's eyes widened when she tasted the bacon.'''hmmmm'' she just said and raoul grinned '' i think that it means that you like it?''ashoka just nodded as she took a few more bacon strips.
''so what does taste better hospital foot or this?'' ashoka smirked teasing '' hospital foot!" she said joking raoul just laughed ''yea well maybe you should eat your dinner there than.'' ashoka locked shocked at raoul ''what about the bacon?'' raoul shrugged his shoulders '' i can never eat this al by my self so i guess that i'll have to trow it away.''
ashoka looked form raoul to the bacon a few times than she looked at her plate and to the bacon. the grabbed a few more strips ''doing that would be a waist so i'll eat them.'' she said trying to sound like she didn't care. this made raoul laugh even harder he was almost chocking in it.
after a few second's ashoka joined as well. after they both had regained controle over them selfs, they continued eating. ''so what do you want to do tonight ashoka?'' ashoka tought for a second and said '' i want to test my bow could you help?'' raoul nodded ''sure sounds like fun!''
after they were done eating. he placed the plates in to the dishwasher and left for the dojo again.

shaak ti was walking trough the halls of the temple fast. ' it has been three days sinds ashoka had left she should have called me two days ago yet still nothing. i have called her but the line was dead her ship never arrived at shili and coruscant space control keeps telling that she had gone in to !?' shaak was so deep in thoughts that she didn't hear anakin closing in.
''hye master ti.''he said and shaak shocked ''haaaa! SKYWALKER DON'T DO THAT EVER AGAIN!.'' she shouted angry anakin took a few steps back and frown. it was nothing for her to become angry. and certainly not for something like this. '' master ti calm down. i just said hy. but you seemed to be worry't lately. what going on? is it the warr?''
shaak shook her head ''no anakin it's far worse.'' she looked down considering if she should tell him. she decided to do it. ''it's ashoka she has been gone missing for the second time.'' anakin's eyes widened. ''again! but how? i thought she left for shili. what happened?'' his eyes where full of worry
shaak shrugged her shoulders '' i don't know. all i know is that she left three days ago. coruscand hyperspace control confirmed it. but all of a sudden, she disappeared from the radar. and there are no reports on shili that she landed. her ship never reached shilian space or orbit.''
anakin's eyes widened and he began to panic. 'i have to find her' he thought and he ran of '' anakin where you going!?'' she shouted behind him. but he didn't hear it. he had to go to space control and first the had to cal patmé.
shaak ti went to the library she had to find out what happened. maybe she landed on a different planed instead or worse maybe she got captured by some one. she ran as fast as she could and bumped in to mace windu.
he frown '' i thought ,that it was not allowed to run in the hall's. that goes even for masters. master ti.'' she looked a bit annoyed at him. ''well sorry master windu but i have a emergency here.'' windu raised a eyebrow. '' o and what is that? if i may ask?''
shaak sighed. ''ashoka wen't missing again. she wen't to shili three days ago. but she never arrived.'' windu looked uninterested and mockingly ''so why should i care?'' shaak looked extremely insulted and aggravated. she had to use everything she got not to slap him in the face, or yell at him.'' what do you mean with that. we caused this to happen.''
windu waved it carelessly away. ''so she left the order on her own chose. so i say that she isn't hour problem anymore.'' with this shaak snapped and slapped him in the face. several other's who were walked by stopped and looked. shaak just ignored them and yelled '''SHE LEFT BECAUSE WE BETRAYED HER TRUST! WE BLINDLY EXPELLED HER AND DIDN'T EVEN APOLOGIZE!WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE IN HERE PLACE?''
windu took a step back. his cheek was hurting whit a burning pain. '' wel ok. i must admit i would have left left and now she isn't our problem anymore.''
he saw that shaak was ready to hit him again so he quickly said '' she left at her own decision. with that can't help her anymore accept it. it's not that i like it. no not at all but we have bigger problem's to focus on right now. out of nothing all of our secret bases got hit by separatist's attacks.''
shaak frown and said ''so your not worried that the separatist's have ashoka. i mean she knew all of those bases locations.'' windu's eyes widened ''wait.. WHAT! YOU MEAN THAT SHE KNEW ALL OF THEM!?'' shaak nodded ''yes she did. i mean she was our top ranked commander. the rest of the council thought that that deserved something. so we showed her everything. she and anakin were in lead of the republic's most successful battalion. they haven't lost a battle in half a year.''
windu stroke his chin he had to admit that was true the 501'st was there best battalion and ashoka was a excellent commander. she had proven to be a natural leader multiple times. and the idea of dooku willing to have her as a new apprentice wasn't that strange at all. '' oke shaak i'll send out top spy's to see if dooku has her.''
he could sens her relief. her anger faded away. one of the jedi youngling's who was at the gatering said.'' master ti may i help you, whit looking for ashoka?'' a second later a tugrota young ling's was standing next to the other one'' i wan't to help to ashoka is one of us i have to help her.''
windu smiled at the young ling's enthusiasm. everyone looked surprised seeing windu smile was something rare. '' i think we should allow that it is a good preparation for them to become padawan's.'' shaak couldn't agree more whit that. '' i think your right master windu.'' she turned to the two youngling's ''alright katooni, ashla you may help me. we will go to the library to see if we can find something there.''
they left and windu looked concerned. he hoped that his spy's couldn't find anything that even may lead, to the fact that ashoka has turned dark, or that she is captured by dooku. he pressed his com-link and told yoda about what had happened.

ashoka and raoul waked back in to the living room and sat on the sofa. '' well ashoka that wasn't bad for your firs't try.'' ashoka frown'' nod bad i barly hit the target and i almost killed hiro.'' raoul laughed and took a sip of his thee.'' well at least you shot the arrow. at my first try it didn't flew further that two feet max.''
ashoka laughed about that she had to admid he was right about that''wel at least you didn't shoot your own foot right.'' raoul blushed ''ehmmm...'' ashoka's eyes widened ''wait you shot your own foot?how in the force name did you do that?''
raoul blushed even harder ''well it was my first try ok. my hand just slipped from the arrow... i was to nervous and my hand's were sweaty.i had to go to the hospital for it, so that they could take out he arrow. after it got removed i had to stay there for 3 day's. however they caught me 5 times trying to escape. '' ashoka laughed '' jeez that sound's familiar however they caught me four time's.''
they both burst out in laughter again however ashoka stopped quickly '' o dammit i totally forgot!'' raoul raised a eyebrow and asked. ''what do you mean?'' ashoka looked at raoul '' well i totaly forgot to fix your procesor.''
raoul smiled as just wove it away '' nah don't worry about that we could do that tomorow too becides whe had fun. right?'' ashoka had to admid that was true.'' yea that is true i forgot about that. im going to bed i think i'm feeling a bit tierd right now. raoul looked at the clock and nodded. ''yea i think i'm going too.''
