The sun shot through the slats in the window. Ahsoka turned over as the warm sensation awoke her. In her first reaction she turned to where Anakin's cot was, he was asleep. She slide out of bed and walked to the balcony of the small shack they were camped in. The breeze from the sea alleviated the crushing humidity that was unbearable even at eight in the morning. Looking out at the beach and ocean relaxed her. The soothing scene still couldn't keep her from the topic that took up most of her thoughts.
It's been a whole week since we arrived here and he hasn't said more than two sentences to me. What I did on Coruscant wasn't that forward what's going on with him. Huh, I'll try and make something edible for breakfast out of the rations we have. Maybe it will buy me enough time to talk to him about it.
On her way there she glanced out the front window.
The only dent in paradise.
To think it was just a dent was a understatement. The small view gave way to the image of a almost deserted half destroyed vacation city. The civil war between two brothers over the rule of the planet had turned it into a refugee center then a haven for smugglers running guns to both sides.
Their Rations were a mix of processed paste and vitamin enriched crackers. No matter how hard she looked nothing remotely appetizing was available.
Grabbing two packets she returned to their room. She sat down next to Anakin and threw one on his stomach. His eyes opened and he sat up and stretched.
"Morning Anakin, good to see your finally up". A smile ran across her face.
" Wow Ahsoka your up first ". He looked down at the food and looked up chuckling." An a gourmet breakfast in bed what's the occasion".
"Ha Ha if you were funny I might laugh at that". She rolled her eyes and scooted closer to him." I thought we could talk over breakfast, you haven't said much since we arrived".
"Sure, what's on your mind".
" I just want to make sure you're ok after your talk with the senator".
Anakin stared back for a moment then responded. " I haven't thought much about it, she's moved on. The more I went over it I realized so have I". He wiped off the sweat on his head and walked to the door." Let's talk on the balcony this humidity is killing me".
Outside Ahsoka picked up a tipped over chair and pulled it over to Anakin's. " You a fan of the view master?"
He smiled and looked out at the ocean." It's great all they need to do is clear off the corpses on the beach."
"If it wasn't for the constant gunfights we might even be able to go shopping". Her sarcasm gave them both a good laugh.
"That's the spirit Snips were in a little piece of heaven. The humidity a permanent first class sauna. Our food is made for us by the most quality of mass production techniques. Last and the most important beach front property on the cheap. The only problem is the roving gangs who kill anything that moves."
"Always the optimist master."
"I try Ahsoka, I try."
"So mast-
She was interrupted by a low flying fighter being pursued by another. The back flow from their engines shook the house and created a plume of sand that covered them.
Once she cleared her eyes and the cloud dissipated she looked over at Anakin his eyes were on the fighters. He gazed at the dogfight like a child looks at a new toy. At that moment in his mind only they existed and everything else was a afterthought.
He looks so peaceful almost happy.
Ahsoka went back inside content she had another fragment of Anakin Skywalker, another piece few had ever seen. This was to be hidden in his collection in her heart.
Once inside she began cleaning off the sand before the sweat made it stick. She slide off her top and cleaned off the sweat and sand on her breast. A small jolt of pleasure went over her and she moved her fingers over to feel again. Rubbing her breast thoughts began to come from the back of her mind.
What would Anakin think if he walked in on me doing this
This made her want to do it more. She bite her lip and began playing with her nipples the added pleasure made her explore more.
She laid down on her cot and slide off her leggings and panties. One of her hands slowly moved down her body. As it got lower her breaths became moans. The vid at the brothel came to mind.
Anakin moving his large hands over my body his fingers where mine are. His hands exploring every inch of my exposed body. Rubbing and testing every point of pleasure I have while I'm stroking him as he prepares to enter me.
She rubbed over her wet pussy lips making shots of pleasure shoot through her. As she slide a finger in her pussy her eyes rolled back. The thought of him hearing her and walking in made her moan even louder.
She slide in her second finger and moved faster. The growing pleasure was taking over she was saying things out loud she never would of.
"ANAKIN!"
"ANAKIN!"
"PLEASE TAKE ME!"
Back outside Anakin was caught up too.
The grace of what was be folding before him was intoxicating. The two fighters were dancing in the sky over him. The clear blue back drop made it even more beautiful as the contrails left behind were a message to the world of the fights beauty. The first was being chased but seemed completely in control of the fight. When he would roll he would slow at the last moment and give the second a chance maneuver to his tail. They weren't fighting but dancing around in a symphony only experienced pilots could enjoy. He wished to be up there feeling the g-force push him around the cockpit. One thought ran through his mind as they lined up for another run at each other.
Almost like home, It's beautiful absolutely beautiful.
Then as the second plane began lining up on the first he shut off his engine and once in position behind the second plane waited for a moment and with one burst the dance ended. The falling black plum was another one of lives cruel reminders of death.
Why couldn't this time of been different why does it always end this way.
Anakin persevered and put the memory into the part of his mind he threw all the horrors of war he saw daily.
He walked back inside looking for Ahsoka. Going down the hallway to their room he could hear moaning. At first he rushed to it but stopped at the entrance and listened more. The moans were of pleasure .
Should I leave?
Every rational thought in his body told him to but he didn't he stood there listening. He could feel as his cock got harder and rubbed against his robe.
Maybe I should go in and help her. No what the hell am I thinking I shouldn't have these thoughts I need to leave.
Even though he knew it best to leave he stayed by the side of the door and listened .
"ANAKIN"
He thought he was caught.
" PLEASE PUT YOURSELF INSIDE ME"
What he heard turned him on even more. He put his hand in his robe and began stroking his cock.
If I do this I'll get rid of these feelings and she won't know about it.
Whenever she would say his name he almost came but held it in, he was going to enjoy this for all it was worth. In his mind he dissevered it because he told himself he would never think about her like this again.
This continued until he could tell she was near climax when she let out his name one last time he came all over his hand and robe.
He could feel how much cum was on his hand and it surprised and impressed him.
Dam, just goes to show you what being backed up for two months can do. I wonder how much more she would of gotten out me.
That last thought broke the small promise he made to explain his actions. That didn't cross his mind as he walked back outside and sat down looking at the mid morning sun rise.
Sitting down looking over the deserted beach he close his eyes and relaxed. In the dark a familiar sound came to mind. He tried to recreate a memory in his mind.
The sound of Padme's heels clicking against the concrete behind his chair as it got closer to him he could feel her body position itself on top of him. Her soft hands rubbing over his face begging him to open his eyes and look at the masterpiece in front of him. When he did it was Ahsoka.
"Morning Handsome" Her usual smile was showing.
He opened his eyes from the fantasy. And looked at the ground
Fuck what am I doing. I just talked to Obi Wan last week about this an now I want to fuck my own padawan.
Anakin made another promise to himself that he would never do anything with her. It was just like the promise he made before and somewhere deep inside he knew it.
In the room Ahsoka sat back up and took her fingers out of her pussy then slide her middle finger in between her pussy lips. Lifting her fingers she began to suck off the cum.
mmm sweet I wonder if Anakin would like it.
She put her cloths back on and walked to see if he was done watching the dogfight.
"Who won master?"
"Ahsoka I didn't know you were there how are you" He looked at her but looked away when she tried to look into his eyes.
"Everything alright Anakin, you seem lost." She walked up to him.
"Look I'm fine now I'm going down the beach to recon the target house again you stay here."
"What's wrong aren't we supposed to go everywhere as a team."
"Ahsoka don't question a order now stay here and guard the place." He got up and walked to the rubble of a building next door.
Ahsoka waited patiently for his return double checking the supplies and perimeter. The streets behind the house were empty except for some scavengers that turned away when they saw nothing of use. She climbed up on the roof and took out the binoculars that gave her a crude view of the target building. Looking for ways in she tried to go over all the possible entrance points or gaps in patrols. The sun set and darkness covered the city except the battles that were fought miles away. The night lit up with the bright flashes of artillery and bombs in the distance.
She stayed there till three in the morning. The idea of going to go look for him was getting more appealing by the second. Before jumping off the roof his silhouette appeared in the rubble of one of the buildings. He was sneaking from house to house until he got closer and he began running back. Ahsoka got off the roof to greet him.
"Master is everything ok?" Her tone gave away her panicked state.
"Were going tonight get everything ready".
"What changed are you alright?"
"Ahsoka hand me your light sabers .Clone commando's are stalking out his hideout we have to go now". Anakin ran inside and began searching through the supplies.
He pulled out a small combat blade and handed it to her.
"They can't know were Jedi". He gazed inside her eyes for a moment then looked away.
"Anakin you haven't even told me his name yet or what he looks like how am I going to find him. If they're clone's here why can't they help us with the assault".
" No one in high command knows were here that means they're a cleanup team. They'll kill the merc and destroy the data if we don't get to it first. I'll find him, now get what you need and get ready to go ". He grabbed her light sabers and put them in a small satchel.
After setting charges on the supplies they couldn't carry they moved out. Sneaking from house to house on their way to the building. Ahsoka spent that time trying to get used to the blade it was lighter but didn't have the range of her light sabers.
Arriving outside the house Anakin got on his stomach and began slowly sneaking past patrols up to a drainage ditch. Ahsoka followed him up to the side of the building and they jumped onto the second floor balcony.
Inside Anakin began franticly searching the room for the datapad. It was nowhere to be found.
"Ahsoka I need you to stay here and guard our way out I'm going to find out where it is
"Master I th-".
"Snips it's vital no one knows who we are". He looked down at her and smiled."I need your help on this just do what I say this time please".
"Yes master".
Anakin walked out and down the hall it was quiet until she heard footsteps heading back from the opposite direction. She hide in the closet waiting for a guard.
Her heart rate shot up when the footsteps entered the room. As the large clunk of boots moved around, she got her blade ready. Sliding the door barely open it looked like a large human male, he was picking through the mess Anakin left looking for something. He knelt down on the floor opening a panel and putting in a code. When she saw the light of a datapad she acted. Slowly opening the door moving quietly not even breathing. Until she was right behind him and leveled the blade with his throat
At that moment he pushed back knocking her down.
"Little bitch who do you think you are"?
He picked up the blade on the floor while she was getting herself up.
"Trying to kill me from behind. Sluts like you have no honor".
Ahsoka rushed at him but he knocked her back down and tried to pierce the blade into her. She stopped him using both hands but he kept pushing. The blade was going into her mouth as she was losing grip on him.
Am I going to die.
Then she did the only thing she could. Using all her strength she redirected his force and made the blade rip through her cheek. She wrestled control of it from his bloody fingers and pierced it straight through his throat. His lifeless body fell on top of her and the weight was too much to move as blood was pouring down her throat making it hard to breath. Squeezing out she maneuvered from out under him and held herself up on her hands so the blood would stop choking her. Crawling back to closet she found the field medical kit and got out the medical pads. The amount of blood made sticking it on almost impossible. To make matters worse the adrenaline was wearing off and the searing pain of the wound was kicking in. Her efforts to fix it were in vain so she took out a sedative for the pain. Ahsoka's last action before passing out was pulling the bloody datapad from the man's corpse.
Anakin was in the main corridor he had no luck in the rest of the house.
The mission's a failure I need to get Ahsoka and leave.
When he entered the room he saw the pool of blood
"Ahsoka"!
He could feel she was still alive. When looking for the medical kit he heard blaster fire from the down stars.
Shit the commando's.
He picked her up and slung her over his back. Right before jumping out the window the faint light of the datapad she was holding onto grabbed his attention. He picked it up and jumped out the second story making a dash for the interior of the city.
A few blocks down he saw a small gang hideout. He walked to the back and hotwired one of the speeders then rushed to the star port. Anakin carried Ahsoka through the group of refugees waiting outside to the small smuggler ship they stole on Coruscant.
Inside the ship the old medical droid began reconnecting the muscle tendons on her cheek. Anakin set the ship's course back to Coruscant and returned to the med bay. He stayed by her side until she woke up.
"Ahsoka it's me Anakin. Are you ok?"
"I know it's you master". She tried to make a smile but her face was still numbed."Did you get it".
"Yeah, but that's not important now. How do you feel"?
"Fine if you consider only feeling half your face good". The rest of her face showed signs of distress."How does it look, the wound".
"I have to say as far as scars go its great and it still has more time to heal". Anakin put on a fake smile.
"Let me see for myself." She picked up a small mirror.
"Ahsoka it still has time to heal".
She paused looking at the side of her face. The mirror showed the large still red scar across her face. It wasn't small it was deep and wide stretching from the side of her mouth all the way to the end of her cheek.
Ahsoka grabbed Anakin's arm and lightly pulled it."Sit down with me"
He sat up on the table as she grasped his hand tighter. She put her head on his shoulder as the tears began to flow. Quietly as she laid against him the markers of her pain ran down his arm.
"Anakin" She broke her silence and squeezed harder on his hand." When he almost had me ,the moment when the knife was almost thrust down my throat I had only one regret".
" Yeah"
" I never had the nerve to tell you I love you." The tears came in torrents as she began sobbing."I love you so much I just couldn't stand the thought of you getting rid of me" Ahsoka grabbed Anakin's head with both hands and forced him to look right at her." Now look at me why would you ever want me now."
Anakin sat quiet for a moment. " Ahsoka your the most beautiful thing I've ever laid my eyes on. That scar didn't change how I feel about that one bit."
"No you don't, you think I'm ugly. When you look at me telling you my feelings you wish it was her. All you want is her back even if you had to get rid of me." Her tone was laced with fear and hate .
"What do you mean. You and Obi Wan are all I have left, I wouldn't trade you for anything. When she left you were right next to me running around the fringes of the galaxy. You gave up seeing anyone you've known for months just so I could through myself at pity party".
"That doesn't change the fact Anakin, I love you. I love you so much and your acting like you have feelings too but I know it's just so ill calm down. I'm bearing my soul to you and I know she is still the first thing on your mind".
" You think I was thinking about her when I saw you on the floor . You think I'm sitting here wishing you were her. Look here, I don't love you you've got that right. Earlier though when I saw you bleeding and I knew my orders caused you that pain. It wasn't like the thousands of clones or dozens of friends who've died by my orders". His eyes watered up."You're special to me, more special than I want. I feelings for you that I can't explain".
"Then show me how you feel". She wiped the tears from her face." You don't have to be alone anymore".
"I, I can't Ahsoka."
"Why not." She got off the table and stood in front of him.
"No not like this you don-"
"Shhhh" She sat on his lap and wrapped her hands around him." If you're not going to make yourself feel better I will." Ahsoka whispered as their lips meet.
