I AM SOOO (ETC.) Sorry! My Laptop broke to be truthful and then I only just got back to fanfictioning after a long term of school. Thank you to all that have actually bothered to read this during the long months of me completely neglecting it. I promise to update once more during the upcoming holidays and then again at Christmas.
P.S. Sorry about the big gaps, it was because I originally typed this on Mircosoft Office Word and you know how annoying that thing can be!
Continued from previous Chapter.
Obi Wan and Luminara broke apart in shock but it was too late, Shaak had seen us and even worst, she was off, probably to tell Kit and Aayla.
"Great, this is just great," Luminara said as she paced back and forth.
"Calm down Lumi," Obi Wan said.
"Calm down…CALM DOWN?" She snapped. "Do you know how much trouble we could all get into if the council even had the slightest clue what was going on. This is serious Obi and I'm scared. I'm scared for you, scared for Jon, I'm scared for Kit, Shaak, Barriss and Anakin. You're keeping my secret and if it was to be exposed and you all took the blame then the guilt will be with me for the rest of my life. The worst feeling is that I know that I deserve it. I should've kept my mouth shut, I should of never come back…I was selfish and we should've never…" her voice died. Obi Wan's look of passion and sympathy turned into shock and pain.
"Luminara…what do you mean?"
"We're Jedi, well never be together. The oath we took is binding us, love was our sacrifice," Luminara said.
"Then we'll leave. Leave this behind, we'll go away, be happy," Obi Wan said, taking her hands in his.
"Obi Wan, don't say such impossible things. How could we? We are no abandoners. Our duty is to the republic and it's something we cannot just walk away from, no matter what our excuse is," Luminara gasped.
"Then what do you want us to do. Believe me, wherever you go, I will follow," Obi Wan said.
"That's what I'm worried about. You cannot leave. You need to train Anakin to be the great Jedi Master that he is destined to be and not go off with your one night stand and her child."
"Luminara, you are more than that. I've loved you since we were no more than younglings,"
20 years ago
Obi Wan looked at the young Miralan who was giggling as she controlled a small metal orb to float around the room. The other younglings were chasing it as she watched with pride as she allowed the orb to dance, dive and glide. Obi Wan did not chase it like the others; he just stared at the telekinetic with wonder and amazement. Luminara's gaze was suddenly off the others and was on his. She smiled at her friend who returned the gesture. He moved to stand next to her and laughed together as Kit failed to catch the orb and instead, running straight into a pillar.
Watching over the younglings was Master Yoda and Master Windu. They had both observed the exchange between Luminara and Obi Wan.
"What do you think Master Yoda?" Windu asked.
"Children they are, parents they have not. Depend on each other they must." Yoda said after some thought.
"What if something happens when they are older," Windu said concerned.
"Tell, only time can," Yoda said nothing else on the matter and even laughed once or twice at the younglings who were still struggling to catch the orb.
"Luminara is quite a powerful mirialan," Windu commented.
"She is yes. She, a powerful jedi in the future, will be. Yes, hmmm."
During the Teenage Years
"Luminara, Obi Wan, wake up!" The angry shouts of Master Jedi echoed the training hall as older younglings were sparring. However, the pair was more interested at insulting each other than actually fighting the opposition
"I cannot believe you managed to miss him, he was three feet in front of you!" Luminara said with blind fury.
"Three feet, he was only one from you!" Obi Wan retorted.
"My god you are useless," she said as she raised her light saber to block an attack from a concentrating Aayla. "Can't you multitask?"
"Stop yelling at me and maybe we can do this thing!" Obi wan somersaulted and began to throw attacks at Shaak who was trying to contain the amusement. She moved towards him while blocking Aayla and Kit's attacks simultaneously and the pair moved in complete sync. The Masters watched in surprise at the pair, who was still arguing with passion managed to take down the other three. After hooking their light sabers to their belts, the masters called them together.
"That was some skilled fighting, all of you. Shaak, a little more speed, Aayla, move your feet a little more, Kit, stop smiling, the enemy won't take you seriously. The three of you are dismissed." They left quickly, all knowing that hell one and hell two were in big trouble.
"We are impressed with both of you. It takes many years for masters to be able to synchronize form III yet you two can do it during a fully fledged argument. Just be aware that in the future, your opponents will not be as forgiving as your friends." They were dismissed shortly after listening to the comments of the other masters. Once they were well out of ear shot and alone, did they say something.
"Knew those late night practice sessions were worth it," Obi Wan said.
"If it wasn't for those late night practice sessions I wouldn't be half asleep and exhausted which started the argument in the first place,"
Present time
Luminara shook her head in disbelief.
"Obi Wan, don't say such ridiculous things. The first thing you are taught when becoming a Jedi is the fraternization rules. We are one of the most respected Jedi of our time and we can't just forget our loyalty and our beliefs just because of love," Luminara said. "Love cannot last forever. In the end, it will either be destroyed and be the death of us."
"I'd rather die with you in my arms than live on for the rest of my life knowing that I missed my chance to be ultimately happy."
