Raoul was very nervous today his parents would finally come home. He had a hectic day yesterday. Nancy started work as soon as project Prothean got resumed. And Ahsoka had a nightmare about Coruscant. She told him that their enemy count Dooku attacked their government's home world of he got it correct.
He sighed as he was trading blows with Hiro again. Hiro noticed that Raoul wasn't focused on his katana and slowed down. He saw that his young employer was concerned about something.'' You're concerned. Why?''
Raoul stopped his stream of attacks. ''my mother. We both know how she could react on Ahsoka. Ahsoka couldn't use that right now.'' Hiro understood his concerns. Today his parents would come home. And his mother sure was a distrusting type. He wasn't even sure if she accepted him.
He could see that Raoul readied an attack and slammed at him but Hiro deflected his barrage of attacks with ease. They were unfocused wild and sloppy with an easy block he slammed the blade out of Raoul's hand's and pointed at him.
''Your too distracted training is over now go and meditate.'' With a slight reluctant bow he grabbed his sword and left he sat down in the garden and closed his eyes. It was black but he knew that he wasn't alone.
Soon a long dark tower with a green sphere appeared he was I a garden of some sort with only one death tree in it. A chill ran down Raoul's spike. He could hear a deep dark laughter as a giant bad of some sort appeared it transformed in to a two meter long human with white skin and red tattoos underneath his red glowing eyes.
Everything in Raoul's head alarmed him that he guy was evil. '' hello my friend.'' He said with a dark voice. That send chills down to Raoul's spine. ''Who are you!'' he demanded. The tall man said nothing he only gave a dark chuckle. '' I mean it who are you!'' Raoul demanded again.
'' that is none of your concerns.'' He said calm '' but I noticed that your becoming close friends with a certain Togruta called Ahsoka Tano. Is that correct.'' Raoul was shocked how he knew that and who was he. '' that's none of your business.'' She shot back.
The man chuckled again. '' your just as snippy as she was. And I'll take it as a yes. Do you trust her?'' he asked Raoul. ''of course I do. '' Raoul responded without needing to think. '' even if you knew her darkest secret?'' the man said mysterious.
'' yes. I would.'' Raoul said determent. '' very well I'll show you.'' The scenery chanced now Ahsoka was standing in front of the tree on the elevation her back turned to him. But there was something odd about her.
Her skin was paler and there where dark streaks everywhere on her skin. A young man ran up he was around 1.80 with brown long hear. '' Ahsoka. It's me y-your save now come on lets go.'' He said hurried as if there was a danger. But Ahsoka didn't move. She slightly lifted her head.
'' are you proud of me master?'' she said in a very slow and menacing way. The man was obviously Anakin Raoul reasoned. '' what? Uuh... of course I'm proud of you. Now let's get out of here.'' Raoul could see that Anakin was really surprised.
All of a sudden Raoul could feel a wave of anger from Ahsoka. '' he's right. Right about everything.'' Ahsoka slowly turned around. And Raoul could see menacing yellow eyes'' you must join him.'' she said like a robot without a free will of its own. '' he only want's what's best for the universe.'' She said in a creepy way.
'' hey what's wrong with you. Anakin said worried and confused. Ahsoka rolled her eyes and slightly her head as she said. '' always with the criticism master. Never really believing in me!'' Raoul could see that both Ahsoka and Anakin became very angry. But Anakin didn't seem angry with Ahsoka.
Ahsoka started walking back and forward as she continued.'' Never trusting me. I don't need you anymore.'' She turned her back to him and Anakin again. '' Ahsoka. Ahsoka listen to me. He's done something to you. Snap out of it. This isn't you Ahsoka!''
''isn't it?'' she asked stern. She spread arms and said in a creepy way '' I feel more like myself than I ever have.'' He tone darkened again. '' he asked me to give you a message.'' Her tone became creepy again. '' he said that if you won't join him he'll kill me.'' She let out a creepy giggle.
Anakin was furious. '' I won't let him.'' Ahsoka quickly turned around. '' then you will be forced to kill me.'' With that she grabbed her saber and attacked Anakin. She disarmed Anakin. '' and now the student will kill the master!'' she said with blood lust as she leaped to him almost with the killing blow but Anakin grabbed his saber
He blocked. '' Getting ahead of your self aren't you snips '' ''aaarghh stop calling me that I hate it when you call me like that!'' she said with an almost demonic voice Raoul turned to the son who smiled. ''That is her dark side and it will always be there. See how quickly she turned on he own mentor? She'll turn on you like that as well.''
With that he left Raoul alone. Back in to the darkness of his meditation. 'Was the guy right. Is that really who Ahsoka truly is? No I can't believe that. Someone must have been controlling her like Anakin said or at least there has been messed with the vision. Then again if it was who she really is what than is it worth the risk?' '' Don't listen to my brother.'' He heard.
He snapped out of him meditation. He could see Ahsoka leaning in his view wondering if he was fine. '' I'm fine Ahsoka. She nodded a stood upright again. '' Gwen told me that your parent's will be here within ten minutes. You seemed pretty deep in to your meditation what did you see?''
Raoul shook it off. '' oh nothing important….'' He stood up and walked next to Ahsoka. '' say Ahsoka just a random question but what does the name snips mean for you?'' Ahsoka froze and looked shocked. '' where did you hear that?''
Raoul waived his hands protectively in front of his body. '' uhh no were. No were. I was just curious.'' Ahsoka didn't buy it. She suspected that he saw it in his meditation. '' it was the nickname my master gave me when I was on my first mission with him. I was rather snippy at the time. So he called me snips. It stuck around ever sins.
'' so you have no problems with it?'' he asked to be sure that the vision was fake.'' Ahsoka shook her head. '' no I quite like it.'' Raoul was relieved and gained an evil smirk ''so what if I'd call you that from now on?'' '' I'd kill you.'' She returned. '' okay snips'' he said teasing
Ahsoka checked if her lightsaber was on low then activated it. '' I told you I'd kill you. Now you better start running Ryusa!'' Raoul ran as fast as he could but Ahsoka caught up quickly. And pinned him against the wall.'' Say sorry.'' She said playful.'' Raoul grunted in defeat. '' sorry snips.'' Ahsoka placed some peruse. '' I mean Ahsoka.'' Raoul corrected quickly.
He then turned to Ahsoka '' but Ryusa?'' Ahsoka nodded. '' you're in to Japanese fighting styles right? So based on my culture you would get a Japanese nickname. Ryusa seems to describe you in some way.'' Raoul frown ''you studied Japanese culture?''
Ahsoka nodded. '' a little bit yes. It was together with Hiro.'' Raoul smirked. '' I see well…. '' he was interrupted by a car driving to the house. '' oh my parents and brothers are here.'' Ahsoka gulped. '' Raoul smirked. '' relax they won't bite youuu….. On the other hand Luna my dog might.'' Ahsoka nodded
'' I see well if she attack snap me out of my trance please you saw how I react when my instincts drive me.'' Raoul nodded '' yes I remember it very well''
His brothers stepped out and walked to Raoul. Duncan smiled at his brother. '' so finally a girlfriend?'' he asked teasing. Raoul looked with a murderous intent to him. '' no were just friend's.'' Duncan scoffed. '' yea yea keep telling yourself that, and who knows maybe someday you'll finally believe yourself.''
Duncan turned to Ahsoka. '' hey I'm Duncan nice to meet you.'' '' h-hey I'm Ahsoka.'' She managed to say confused. Duncan laughed and walked inside. But turned back.'' Say Raoul did you miss me?'' Raoul shook his head and say with a teasing smile. '' no not at all.'' Duncan nodded with a smirk and went inside.
Raoul turned to his youngest brother. '' so Alesandro had fun without me?'' he nodded shy. And walked in. Ahsoka looked questioning Raoul smiled. '' give him a few day's he'll change. He's just shy around people he doesn't know but once he's used to your presence… well prepare yourself.''
Raoul saw his father and mother walking towards them. '' hey Raoul how's it going?'' Raoul noticed the hidden question but didn't show it. '' fine dad we kept everything clean and the reports are in the office.''
Erik noticed that his son ignored the hidden question and that told him enough. '' well Ahsoka how has the staff and my son treated you these past two weeks.'' Ahsoka smiled. Excellent sir I'm very great full.'' '' that's good to hear. Please meet my wife Sietske.'' Ahsoka gave slight blow and extended her hand. Sietske looked at it for a few seconds and walked right pas Ahsoka.
Ahsoka looked hurt and wondering. Did she do something wrong? Raoul sighed '' I was afraid this might happen. Ahsoka you did nothing wrong. She's just very slow in trusting strangers. Dad could you go to mom and talk to her.'' Erik nodded and walked inside.
Raoul walked to the car. He heard his dog barking. And turned to Ahsoka. '' ready to meet your savior?'' Ahsoka nodded Raoul opened the door and Luna jumped out and was going crazy around Raoul. But suddenly she stopped and focused at Ahsoka. Luna started to growl and bark against her in an aggressive and warning way.
Ahsoka could feel her instincts trying to take over but fought back. Luna was a female predator just like here she was a rival. But she was on her territory. Ahsoka fought with all she hat to fight the urge to attack Luna in a territorial battle. Deep within her she was very ashamed with her own behavior.
Raoul walked to Luna's surprise closer to Ahsoka and he grabbed her shoulder. This made the dog a little jealous. Why was he giving attention to this rival?'' Ahsoka could feel a hand on her shoulder and looked up in to Raoul's eyes.
'' you're alright?'' Ahsoka composed herself. '' yes I think so.'' Raoul gave Ahsoka some dog candies. Much to Luna's surprised. He was giving her candy to someone else why? Wasn't she good trying to defend the territory? Raoul motioned of Ahsoka to give the candy to Luna. Ahsoka hesitated at first but gave it anyway. '' here girl. Some candy.''
Luna was very cautious. But took it out of Ahsoka's hand when she sensed no hostility. She munched away on the candy as Raoul motioned of Ahsoka to rub Luna's back.'' Ahsoka did as told and stroke the dog's back slowly and careful. Once Luna finished the candy she looked up to Ahsoka In surprise.
Ahsoka spoke in Togruti to the dog. '' I don't know if you understand this but please know that I have no intention to steal your place in this family.'' Luna looked at Ahsoka a little longer and gave an accepting bark. Then she walked closer and licked Ahsoka's face making Ahsoka giggle and fall over. Luna continued her assault as Ahsoka tried to turn away. '' p-please s-stop.'' She said laughing.
Finally Luna stopped. And Ahsoka sad up again. '' Ahsoka stroke Luna's head. '' we had a rough start but I think we'll become great friends.'' At that moment Sietske walked up to the trio. '' I'm Sietske Frosterson. Raoul's mother and if you hurt even one of my children once. I'll kill you myself.'' With that she left them again.
Ahsoka looked somber. '' well nice to meet you too.'' She turned to Raoul. '' your mother hates me. Doesn't she.'' Raoul shook his head. '' no she's just not good with strangers. Just give her some time once she knows you she'll change.
Ahsoka looked to the door.'' I really hope so.'' Raoul got an idea. '' hey let's go and walk around with Luna.'' Raoul walked inside leaving Ahsoka and Luna alone.

Sidious sat in his chair. Grinning widely. The battle of Coruscant went perfect. His former apprentice was dead. Grievous on the run. The Jedi lost a lot of men and Anakin was once again a step closer to the dark side, after he killed his former apprentice. Soon the separatists would be gone as well.
The voice appeared again. '' well done my child. Thanks to you our victory is one step closer once again. I can feel it. The final act is about to begin and with that the destruction of the Jedi will happen. Then I will finally have my revenge against the Jedi.''
'Yes and once I get what I need I'll make sure to get rid of you.' Thought Sidious annoyed. He already knew of his master's plan to betray him. Vitiate might be more powerful but he had the brains of the two.
Outside the senate building right in front of Ahsoka's statue. Stood a young Fourteen year old Togruta.'' Ahsoka I just fought my first battle. And I hope you're proud of me. I know that I'm still no were near as good as you was. But I'll make sure that I'll get there. Just watch me.'' Ashla said with a smile. As she laid a bouquet of Ahsoka's favorite flower's in front of the statue.
She sad in meditative stands and spoke. '' Ahsoka I want you to know that I've always saw you as my big sister. I just wished that you were still with us.'' Tears started to appear as she continued '' so you could have helped me preparing for this battle. I-I miss you so much Ahsoka. Nothing feels the same now you're gone. Please come back to us. To me! I-I need you. I just want my big sis back.''
Shaak shook her head. As she saw her daughter like this. She knew that Ashla had it hard with Ahsoka's death. She wondered who had it harder Anakin or her daughter. She couldn't really tell. '' Ashla we should go the council will have a mission for us soon''
'' but….'' Began Ashla. Shaak cut her off. '' would Ahsoka skip the mission if you had died?'' Ashla shook her head. '' no she would do the mission in my honor.'' Shaak gave a not. '' exactly so you should do the same.'' Ashla grunted but agreed. She turned to the statue one more time. '' please watch over us.'' she asked
She suddenly heard a soft echoing voice. '' I will.'' Ashla looked around to see where the voice came from. But she couldn't find anything. Her mother looked at her questioning. '' did you forgot something?'' Ashla looked surprised at her mother. '' no it was that voice. Didn't you hear it?''
Shaak seemed surprised. '' voice?'' she asked. '' yes Ahsoka's voice mom. I heard it.'' Is she going delusional? Shaak thought in shock. '' but Ashla where totally alone here, there is nobody.'' Ashla shook her head in defiance.'' No she's here I can feel it.''
Shaak still wasn't sure but her daughter looked pretty determent. ''very well Ashla if you say so. But we have to move. We'll be late if we don't.'' the daughter looked with a smile down on Ashla and her mother. Yes she would make sure that they'd come to earth just like Ahsoka. Then they'll have the surprise of a live time.
Sidious looked outside as he could suddenly feel a presents very strong to the light side. He looked down and saw grand master Shaak ti with her new apprentice Ashla ta. He cringed. ''that girl Ashla is a danger. She's too strong in the light side. She must die. I'll kill her myself if I have to.''
He turned to his holo screen. And established a connection. It didn't take long before a disfigured Darth maul appeared. '' maul now Dooku's death your my apprentice once again. I have a mission for you.'' Darth maul bow down. '' yes my master wat is thy bidding.''
''Shaak ti and her apprentice are going on a mission make sure that the young student has an accident'' '' wat If they see me. My master?'' Sidious chuckled. '' than they won't recognize you. I made sure of that.'' Maul's anger rose as his master reminded him of that night on Mandelore.
Yes he would take revenge for that.'' Where must I go my master?'' '' Rakata prime.'' With that Sidious cut the connection. '' fool you'll never be strong enough to defeat me.'' Sidious chuckled. He had read maul's weakened mind and he would be ready.

Raoul came out of the house and now wore a white t-shirt and black swimming pants that reached his knees. '' ready to go?'' he asked Ahsoka and Ahsoka nodded enthusiastic. '' yes lets go.'' Raoul had a few bottles of water and some snacks for underway. '' I told mom and dad that we would be gone for a while.'' Raoul looked at his watch. It's now half past one good.
Ahsoka was glad that she wore her underwear today they would probably end up swimming and now because of the heat she could wear a tank top and shorts. She placed Luna on a leach and they started walking.
Erik watched as the two teens left. After they were out of view he turned to his wife.'' Was that really needed Hun?'' Sietske looked away. '' we don't know who she is. She could hurt the children. Or worse kill them.''
Erik raised an eyebrow. '' and what was there to stop her a week ago? If Ahsoka wanted to inflict harm than she would have done it already.'' '' still I refuse to trust her.'' Erik sighed. '' well fine but we have work to do.''
Ahsoka Raoul and Luna made a stop after a few hours as they sat down on the beach. Raoul fount a branch and threw it away. Luna immediately ran after it. With an impressive speed Ahsoka smiled as Luna returned to Raoul. Raoul took the branch and threw it again. Luna ran off to get it again. Ahsoka sat sprawled in the sand enjoying the sun. She closed her eyes enjoying the heat
Raoul went to the bag and grabbed a bottle of water. He saw Luna returning with the branch and motioned her to go to Ahsoka this time. Luna placed the branch next to Ahsoka and licked her arm.
Ahsoka looked to Luna. '' oh so you want me to throw the stick?'' Luna barked joyfully as if she said yes.'' Very well then.'' Ahsoka grabbed the stick and used the force to throw it as far away as she could. Ahsoka grinned before she sat down again.
Raoul pulled of his t-shirt '' yup I'm going for a swim.'' He said as he dived in to the water. Once he surfaced Ahsoka spoke to him. '' you know there is a sign that says that you're not allowed to swim here.'' Raoul splashed some water. '' yea yea just some bull crap. But the water is nice care to join?''
''nah I'm fine here.'' She said moving her hand over the warm sand. Raoul shrugged her shoulders. '' oh well suite yourself. But I'll go to some deeper water now.'' Ahsoka watched him swim off as Luna came back panting. And lay down in to the sand close to Ahsoka.
Ahsoka automatically started stroking the soft pelt of Luna. She kept looking forward over the lake. It was so big it stretched all the way to the was looking so peaceful and calm. She then realized that this was the first time in her entire live, that she finally hat the time to just sit down and watch the water flow.
Raoul walked out of the water and saw Ahsoka in her trance. He decided to follow her example. He sat down next to her as silently as he could and just looked at the tiny waves clashing in to the sand of the beach. They sat like this for another ten to twenty minutes before he finally let a sigh of contempt.
It snapped Ahsoka out of her trance. '' this was needed. Wasn't it?'' '' uh-uh'' responded Ahsoka she grabbed the small bag with the force and grabbed a drink and some snacks. Raoul checked his watch it was half past four. '' we still have an hour before when need to go home. So time for a swim?''
Ahsoka looked doubting. '' but I have no swimming clothes on. And we don't have towels either.'' '' the sun will dry us don't worry about that.'' Raoul grabbed the stick and threw it in to the water. Luna jolted after it. '' see even Luna want's to swim.'' He said as he dived in
Ahsoka rolled her eyes and stood up. She took of her boots tank top and shots so she was in her underwear. She sighed one more time. '' well here goes nothing.'' And she jumped in. she was surprised by the temperature it was nice and warm. She didn't expect that. She swam to the deeper section of the lake and joined Raoul.
''Happy now?'' she asked him. Raoul splashed some water in her face. '' yes cause now I can do this.'' He splashed water again. '' well you asked for it.'' Said Ahsoka as she started splashing back. Eventually Ahsoka pushed Raoul's head under. But once she released he didn't surface. She looked around her when suddenly she got pulled down underwater.
It was dark and arms wrapped around her waist she could feel a body being pressed against her back she was pinned down and trapped. Eventually they surfaced. But Raoul didn't release his grip he rested his head on her shoulder.
She could hear slight sobbing. He released her and Ahsoka turned around. To see Raoul whipping his eyes. '' I'm sorry. I-I don't know what happened there.'' He swam back to the shore. And Ahsoka followed.
'' want to talk about it?'' Ahsoka asked unsure. But he shook his head. '' no. not really. It's just a stupid thing.'' '' what's a stupid thing?'' she asked him. As he looked at her. '' well that you're the first female that I know where I can be myself sins…..'' his voice died out. '' sins what?'' tried Ahsoka.
''nothing. It's a personal secret.'' Ahsoka was slightly confused. '' but you can be yourself around Gwen and Jane right.'' Raoul nodded. '' yes but it's different somehow. Ugghhh this is so stupid.'' He growled. '' are you okay?'' Ahsoka said a little concerned. Raoul gave her a silly smile. '' yea. It's just a small dip. Think nothing of it.''
He threw a small stone in to the water. '' even I need support some time's. Anyway enough of this sad tire bull crap lets go back to swimming. '' he stood up and ran back in to the water. Leaving Ahsoka wondering. On what he said. '' are you coming?'' He yelled at her and Ahsoka ran back in. Raoul grabbed Luna
Just on that moment a police car pulled over.'' Hey! Swimming in this pool is illegal.'' One of the officers yelled. Raoul. Felt lucky and yelled. '' my dog ran after a stick and jumped in now she's stuck in the water plant's''
The officers looked confused. It was the reason why they weren't allowed to swim there so it could be true. '' oh well do you need help?'' '' Raoul shook his head as Ahsoka reached them. '' no I got this.'' The policemen nodded and drove away.
'' wow. What a shitty police. Normal officers would stay and watch to make sure.'' Raoul commented. '' yea I know. Say how late we needed to be home?'' Raoul thought. '' umm I believe six o clock.'' He checked his watch. '' ah it's half past five. We should get going.''
Ahsoka swam back with Raoul and Luna. She cursed for not having a towel and pulled on her clothing. It didn't take long before that was soaked as well. '' I'll take a shower when where home.'' She growled. Raoul laughed. '' yea I know what you mean. I'll take first shower.'' He said as they started running back.
'' no I'll take first shower.'' '' I will!'' Ahsoka ran harder. '' no I will.'' Raoul smirked. '' then there is only one solution when go together.'' Ahsoka looked shocked. '' you wouldn't dare.'' She challenged him. Raoul only gave an evil grin in reply.
It was almost past six when they stormed in. their clothing still soaked. '' sorry where late dad'' said Raoul as he ran past his dad. Both Ahsoka and Raoul walked in to the shower. And Raoul turned it on.'' See I told you I would'' he spoke as he entered the warm shower. '' '' b-but your still wearing clothing.'' Ahsoka protested.
'' yes I always do when I swim in the lake. Now come and join me. You can leave on your underwear. I've already seen you in it.'' Ahsoka hesitated but finally entered. They quickly washed themselves and left the shower again. '' see nothing bad about it.''
Ahsoka went to her chamber and changed clothing her. Took a look at her old Jedi clothing. She decided to wear them today. Looked for her lightsabers and clipped them on again. She realized that she still wore them when they went out with Luna.
A knock on the door slabbed her out of her thoughts. '' yes come in.'' Ahsoka said as Erik entered the chamber. '' hi Ahsoka how are you doing?'' he asked as they both sad down on the bed. '' feeling home yet?'' Ahsoka nodded. '' yes I'm feeling a bit more at home here but I still mist my old friends and home.''
'' hmmm that's understandable.'' Erik noticed the weapons around Ahsoka's belt. '' do you always wear them?'' Ahsoka could see that he was pointing at her sabers. '' well to be honest yes. I only take them off during sleeping and at places where I'm not allowed to have them. Even then I try to broker a deal where I may keep them.''
'' why?'' asked Erik. '' a lightsaber is a Jedi's most treasured possession. To us they are more valuable than anything else. I made mine when I was eight years old. And right now it's the only thing I've left that's linked to my past. This and my headdress.''
She grabbed her saber and activated it. They both looked at the jade green blade. '' I see well if that's the case you may keep them around you in this household.'' Ahsoka looked relieved. '' really?'' Erik nodded '' yes really but dinner is ready we should go down stairs.'' Together they left the room.
