Here's Barriss's funeral and many tears. But, someone special is there to comfort Ahsoka…
Deep Comfort
I was inside the Departed Souls Room in the very center of the Jedi Temple. Master Yoda was performing a funeral speech at the death of Barriss.
"Strong in the Force, she was. Mourn her, we do. Though forever, her spirit endures. Pain, her death causes. But move on, we will." With that, he waved his hand lightly over the tomb's entrance, and the blanket-covered body descended to its final resting place. Her Force aura created a thin orange beam from her grave to the ceiling, just after the tomb closed.
Master Skywalker turned to me, and kneeled on one knee. "I know you were close to her, Ahsoka. But remember, we can't bring her back. I won't stop you from mourning her, but, in time, you will have to work past your pain, and do what Master Yoda says. Move on. It's hard, I know, but it is essential." With that, he got up and walked slowly out of the room with the rest of the jedi.
I stayed. I stared at the beam, tears welling up behind my eyes. Flashbacks took me to the tank on Geonosis, the brain worms, and so many other instances. My memory stopped when, aboard the medical supply ship, she asked,
"Kill me… please… please… please…"
The 'please' echoed in my mind until I cried out in agony and fell to my knees, sobbing uncontrollably. My tears fell on the entrance of her resting place.
"I failed you Barriss. I'm so sorry. I was supposed to be with you always, and I failed you…"
I don't know how long I sat there crying. Ages, maybe.
Finally, I got up, my cheeks stained with tears and my eyes red. My heart was empty. I walked to my room, without speaking to anyone. I closed the door, and collapsed on my bed, and began sobbing again. Suddenly, the door opened. My back was turned, so I couldn't see who it was, but I felt a very soothing presence.
It was Lux.
"Ahsoka…" He walked over to me as the door closed behind him. I was on my side, still crying. He put his warm hand on my side, and spoke again.
"Ahsoka, don't cry… It's alright…"
Lux's Point of View
She sat up, and looked into my eyes; an intense sorrow flecking her blue eyes.
"Listen, don't worry, it'll be alright." I smiled. "I'm here… for you." She leapt up and embraced me deeply. I hugged her back as she sobbed near my shoulder. She stood back slightly, and released me. I ran the back of my fingers along a montral. I leaned forward and kissed her lightly. She pulled me close and kissed me deeply. I traced my finger down her back. Her breath hitched against the kiss.
I broke apart, and she spoke. "I love you Lux… thank you for being there for me…" She trailed off.
WARNING: Some intense foreplay in this chapter. 14+ please.
"I'm not going to make the girl I love go through such pain alone." I smiled again. She smiled back. I kissed her again, but this time my hand drifted up to her shoulder straps, and undid them. She broke apart, and I sat on the bed. She descended upon me, and half pinned me to the bed. I slipped the top of her outfit off, and gasped again at her breasts.
"What do you think?" She whispered. I massaged one and whispered back,
"They're perfect." She lowered onto my chest and slipped a hand under my shirt. I sighed contentedly. Slowly, she removed the shirt and smirked.
"Someone's been working out." I smirked.
"It's great being buff… for many reasons." I kissed her as she lay on top of me. I drifted my hand to her skirt and pulled my lips back.
"Should this come off?" She nodded, and I slid it down. I flipped over so I was on top of her, and backed up so I was looking at her womanhood.
"Why, that's even better." I said, motioning to her entrance. She blushed, and lowered my head to kiss it. She groaned in pleasure. I greatly enjoyed her reaction, and planted many kisses all over it, listening to her soft moans. I then inserted a single finger into her. She arched her back and moaned louder. I started pumping the finger in and out. She was getting restless. I pumped two, then three fingers in until she was almost shouting.
Third Person Omniscient
She was almost screaming with ecstasy. She felt a strange heat in the lower regions she hadn't felt before. Something unknown was about to happen. She screamed at the top of her lungs as she came. He pulled his fingers out and smiled at her. She was still shaking from her first intense orgasm.
"That was… incredible." She panted.
Lux ventured, "Should we… never mind."
"What?
"You know…"
She thought for a moment. "Let's wait until the time is right. I'm sure the war will end soon, and we can be together. We'll get married, then we'll get together."
"It's your call. I won't do anything that will make you uncomfortable."
"Right now, what matters is that foreplay is a great mind relaxer." She said, and smirked.
"Indeed."
A few hours later…
Lux walked up to Ahsoka as she was trodding through the Temple's halls. She brightened.
He had sadness in his eyes that made her smile disappear. "Is… something wrong?"
"I… may not see you again."
She gasped. "Why not?"
"I have very important missions I must complete, in the far Outer Rim. I fear I may not get to see you again."
She pulled him close and pressed her lips against his. She backed up a step and whispered,
"Wait for me."
He smiled warmly and replied, "I will. Always."
Then, he turned and plodded slowly away.
Ahsoka smiled. She knew he would wait for her. And there wasn't anyone in the galaxy that could tear them apart.
Lux and Ahsoka may meet again, only time will tell! Please leave reviews.
