TNA'S Hardcore Justice (it's a wrestling ppv if you don't like it just skip to the story then) in my mind was great I wish I could have seen it on PPV, but oh well. Anyways here is the next chapter enjoy.

Pain, Forgiveness, and Love

Sherri's room

Sherri was awake in her room after going over some things on her computer. Sherri was trying to hack into the separatist system without being track in order to find out where Dooku was hiding. So far all she found was some old designs for the Malevolence and some design for a giant space station design to destroy an entire planet (hint hint). None of them telling Sherri where Dooku was or who his master was.

Sherri then heard a knock on her door and a voice, "Sherri it's me Ahsoka, can I talk to you?" said Ahsoka. Sherri sighted and turned off her computer. "Yeah just a minute" said Sherri as she grabbed her robe and opened the door to see Ahsoka holding a skull. "Uh Ahsoka what's with the skull and why are you awake it's still pretty early?" asked Sherri.

"Oh right sorry Jyun gave it to me and I got thirsty so I went to get some water" said Ahsoka.

"Huh normally when a guy likes a girl they would traditionally give a girl flowers instead of a skull, but I guess if that's what you kids do now then who am I to argue" said Sherri.

"What, no Jyun was just showing off that he killed an Akul and gave it to me. He didn't do it because he likes me…right?" said Ahsoka.

"Well I don't know really, boys are different than us girls. They try to act cool and think their not interested in us. But eventually they get the nerve to say that they like you and show that their not the cool though guy they try to make us believe they are. At least that's how the boys on my planet acted at least…hey why don't you come in so we can talk more" said Sherri.

"Sure thanks I hope I didn't interrupt your sleeping" said Ahsoka as she entered the room and put the skull near a table.

Ahsoka saw Sherri's room was different then her room. It was big, it had a table with a computer, it had a queen size bed, drawers, a bathroom, a closet (big enough to fit a football team in), and a cabinet full of books. "Wow your room is bigger than mine, I take it the size was your idea" said Ahsoka.

"No actually Jyun said he owed me a lot for what I have done for him so he made this room bigger for me. I don't like it because it's too big, but I didn't have the heart to tell him" said Sherri.

"Really huh Jyun did this because of everything you did for him huh. Well I guess he was right" said Ahsoka.

"Yep, so Ahsoka was I right about him being a good person" said Sherri.

"Well he was nice enough to give me a hand and some water…so yeah I guess he isn't a bad person, when he's not killing Jedis or clones" said Ahsoka.

"Of course, but believe me really he isn't that bad. Sure he kills others, makes sarcastic comments, pulls pranks on me, or is hard to get along sometimes. But in the end when he gives someone his word he sticks to it no matter what" said Sherri.

"Really his word huh, so he's an honest guy I never really knew that" said Ahsoka in a sarcastic tone.

"You know you and him are somewhat alike Ahsoka. You both make sarcastic comments, you're both competitive, you're overconfident in your abilities, and you're both stubborn" said Sherri.

"Hey wait a minute I'm not stubborn or overconfident in my abilities" said Ahsoka who seemed insulted by what Sherri said.

"Oh please I saw through the computer screens how you though you could beat Jyun by yourself just because you were taught by Anakin Skywalker. In the end however you lost to him…three times. And when it looks like your losing you don't give up, that's shows how stubborn you are" said Sherri explaining Ahsoka her flaws.

Ahsoka didn't respond to Sherri. She had to admit there were times when she though with all of her training she could beat anyone. But as she remembered she let her over confidence get the best of her. From fighting guys like Grievous, Cad Bane, and even Jyun. And her stubbornness cost her missions on both Ryloth and Felucia. Sherri was right if she was to be a Jedi knight she would need to improve herself on these mistakes.

"Hey Ahsoka you okay?" said Sherri noticing Ahsoka hasn't aid a word.

"Yeah sorry I guess I spaced out a bit. Um Sherri can I ask you another question?" said Ahsoka.

"Sure what else do you want to know?" said Sherri.

"Well two things one is something Jyun told me. He said you hacked into the computer system of the republic to turn off the power. Is it true?" said Ahsoka.

"Um well yes I'm afraid it is true. But I only did that so that only the jedi would fight Jyun no one else was suppose to get hurt. I'm sorry for the death of those clones and your Jedi friends Ahsoka, I'm truly am sorry" said Sherri apologizing to Ahsoka for her sins.

"I know it wasn't your fault Sherri. Jyun does seem like a good person, but I can never forgive him for what he did" said Ahsoka.

"I bet one of those Jedi's he killed was a good friend of yours" said Sherri.

"Yeah his name was Tyler. He became my friend after the death of my first friend Alex" said Ahsoka.

"Alex huh hmm were you two close?" asked Sherri. She had heard the name before but needed to be sure if it was the same person she thought she knew.

"He was my first friend in the jedi temple. He helped me adjust to the temple life and looked out for me. He was a great friend and I looked up to him like an older brother" said Ahsoka.

"But then there was an accident and he was killed. There was some kind of earthquake and it affected the jedi temple. Alex grabbed my hand and tries to lead me away from the quake. But then one of the pillars gave away and he threw me away from them. I looked back and the last thing I saw was Alex being crushed" said Ahsoka as tears began to form in her eyes.

Sherri went over to comfort Ahsoka. Sherri sat next to Ahsoka and gave her a hug. "I know what it feels like Ahsoka. To lose someone your care about, the pain and the sadness it really doesn't go away now does it" said Sherri.

"I guess not, so who did you lose that was precious to you" asked Ahsoka as he wiped the tears away.

"Remember when I told you about my past life" said Sherri.

"Yeah I remember" said Ahsoka.

"Well when I was 18 years old I met the love of my life. We where young back then and we didn't have a care in the world. I was a doctor and he was a soldier, his name was Ryan. We fell in love the moment we met. We dated for a year when he proposed to me. That was the happiest day of my life. We got married months later and both left our jobs. I opened a small hospital in a small town while Ryan opened up a restaurant" said Sherri.

Ahsoka smiled when she heard Sherri telling her about how in two people could fall in love in first sight.

"But just like every love story there's a tragedy. Pirates invaded our town and killed many people. Ryan and I headed to our apartment, since it had a secret room where we would be save. But there was an explosion and the last thing I remember seeing was Ryan in front of me bleeding, I crawled over to him and stayed by his side hoping that if we would die, we would die together" said Sherri.

"I woke up in a hospital bed, I was alive. I had hoped Ryan was alive too so I looked around and saw he wasn't there. I asked the nurse if he was okay…she told me he died in surgery. I felt a huge pain in my chest. Like my heart was being stabbed slowly" said Sherri.

"I'm sorry Sherri I guess we both lost someone we cared about" said Ahsoka as she tried to comfort Sherri.

"Not exactly Ahsoka. You see the explosion not only killed my husband…but our baby as well" said Sherri. "I was six months pregnant and my baby died" said Sherri.

"Oh my…I didn't know" said Ahsoka.

"Yeah anyways after I left the hospital I didn't know what else to do with my life, till I was approached by my old teacher he offered me a chance to help him with something he has been doing for a while now and well I didn't have anything else to do so I joined him. One thing led to another I met Jyun and joined him" said Sherri.

"Just like that, I thought you said you knew him when he was young" said Ahsoka.

"I did my old teachers name was Rolland Kane. He said I was to keep an eye on a child. And his name was Jyun. He was a quite kid, didn't say much, but after a few months I grew attached to him and well like I said last night I look to him as if he was my own" said Sherri.

"I see well I guess that explains things about you and Jyun but what happened to Kane?" asked Ahsoka.

"Is that your last question Ahsoka because you did say you wanted to ask me two questions and you already wasted one. Is this your last question?" said Sherri.

Ahsoka did want to know what happen to this Rolland Kane but she still needed to ask another question regarding a certain skull. "Well maybe I'll ask you that question another time. All right my real question is about that skull did Jyun really kill two Akuls one in ten minute the other a minute?" asked Ahsoka.

"Yes he killed the first one in ten minutes in an interesting battle. As for the other one Jyun saw it watching him during the fight and tried to attack when the fight was over but was beheaded by Jyun" said Sherri.

Ahsoka couldn't believe that Jyun was really telling the truth. She had to admit she had now a new sigh of respect to Jyun. She now respected him and was impress by what he could do.

"Now then since you asked me all the questions you wanted to asked me. Out of my room Ahsoka" said Sherri.

"Huh wait right now" asked Ahsoka.

"Yep I need to take a shower, recheck all my data, and get to work out you go. Oh and don't forget your skull bye" said Sherri as she led Ahsoka out the room and closed the door.

Ahsoka stood there a moment and left to her room. She looked down on the skull on the Akul and thought back on what Sherri said earlier about how boys give girls gifts as a sign that they like them. Ahsoka knew she didn't like Jyun at least she thinks she doesn't. If she did then that would be a big problem.

Jyun's room

Jyun was putting on his armor so that he would be ready for today. After he finished showering he put on his combat pants, muscle shirt, and his boots. When he finished he put on his armor for his chest, arms, knees, and boots. Winston told Jyun that Dooku has put a bounty on him and Ahsoka. Jyun knew he couldn't keep Ahsoka on his ship for much longer. She was already healed and he needed to get her away from him before Dooku found them. So he told Winston to find a nearby republic base to drop Ahsoka off.

Winston told him that there was a planet nearby but it would take at least five hours to get to it. Jyun knew it was close enough and knew that once she was back with the jedi's she would be safe. Jyun cared about Ahsoka. He knew it was something more than memories from Alex, it was something else. He overheard Sherri and Ahsoka talking earlier. He felt something towards her, but knew he could never tell her about them. One she was a jedi and they were not allow to have attachments, two he killed her friends he doubt she would like him after what he did, and three he wasn't human. He was different, and knew the path he was on would eventually lead to his death, and he didn't want anyone to follow him down the path he was about to go down.

Living room

Ahsoka was in the living room reading a book Sherri gave her to read to pass the time. She was reading "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne. Jyun came into the room and saw Ahsoka reading a book. He recognized what she was reading. "Enjoying the book" said Jyun.

Ahsoka turned around and saw Jyun behind him wearing his armor. "Yeah it's all right. Sherri told me this guy Jules Verne. Almost all the books he made talk about futuristic technologies that were still far for his planet to gain" said Ahsoka.

"Yeah I read most of his books. Sherri gave me some of his books every year, said it was for my birthday. Not that I really cared if it was my birthday" said Jyun as he sat on the couch next to Ahsoka.

"You don't care if it was your birthday, why?" said Ahsoka.

"Well to me I don't care because well it's kind of personal. Let's just say I didn't have a good birthday where I was growing up let's just leave it at that" said Jyun.

"Well Jyun if you want you could tell me, where were you born?" said Ahsoka trying to find out more about Jyun.

Jyun knew what Ahsoka was trying to do. "Okay I was born on Hoth and was raised by the Wampas" said Jyun being sarcastic.

"Ha Ha very funny Jyun, fine how old are you then?" said Ahsoka who was annoyed by Jyun's response.

"Well my dear if you really want to know I'm 16 years old, you" said Jyun.

"Well I'm 15 years old. Now then how long have you been well doing all of this" said Ahsoka.

"I have been doing all of this for ten years now. My turn how long have you been in this war" said Jyun.

"Well I guess a year now maybe less I started when I helped liberate Christophsis" said Ahsoka.

"Were you nearly got your master killed right" said Jyun.

"I didn't almost get him killed and second stop bringing that up. Anyways ever since then I have done a lot of good for the republic" said Ahsoka.

"I see well besides getting your master nearly killed or saving his butt, I wouldn't be surprise if they make you a knight soon" said Jyun.

"Thanks so mind telling me what's with the armor?" said Ahsoka.

"Before I answer your question, do you want to know more about me or just the armor" said Jyun.

"Well I wouldn't mind if you told me both" said Ahsoka.

"All right, I'm five foot seven inches tall; I weigh in around 180 pounds, my favorite color is green, I hate fighting idiots who don't know how to fight, I like flying ships and fighting. Okay then your turn" said Jyun.

Okay then, I'm five foot two inches tall, I don't know how much I weight and will not tell you (I don't think in my mind a girl is suppose to tell a guy how much she weights), my favorite color is blue, I hate people who hurt others for power and money, I like helping others, and I guess that's it" said Ahsoka.

"I see well I must admit these last few days with you have been very interesting. I don't think I have ever met anyone who has an attitude or a personality like you have" said Jyun.

"Well your not that bad either Jyun, and I have to admit even though we have known each other for a few days I had a lot of fun" said Ahsoka.

Jyun could sense Ahsoka was a bit happy. But he could also sense some sadness in her. He knew what is was, "But I take it you wont forgive me for what I've done to your friend Tyler right" said Jyun.

"I don't know Jyun. You killed him and there is nothing I or you can do that will change that. But I know he wouldn't want me to hold a grudge against you" said Ahsoka.

"Ahsoka I'm sorry for what I've done and hope one day you will forgive me" said Jyun.

Ahsoka knew she would have to forgive him someday. He said he would give up hunting Jedi's and even quit the separatist. She shouldn't believe him, but looking at him she knew she had to. "Jyun I …" Ahsoka was interrupted by Winston who was calling through the intercom. "Sir we have arrived to the planet we should arrive on the surface in ten minutes" said Winston.

"Got it Winston thanks. Well I guess this is a conversation for another time" said Jyun as he got off the couch and headed out the room.

Ahsoka was going to apologized to Jyun to after hearing Winston she decided to wait for another time. She got up and followed Jyun.

Planet of Rodia

"We have arrived on Rodia; we are less than a few miles away from the republic base nearby. Don't worry though I have used a jamming system to prevent the republic from sensing our presence master Jyun" said Winston.

Jyun, Sherri, and Ahsoka arrived in the cargo room of the ship waiting to open the doors. "Thanks Winston, just land us as close as you can understand" said Jyun.

"Yes sir" said Winston.

"Ahsoka before I forget here is your lightsaber Jyun gave it to me to make some adjustments on it. Its light enough for you to block an enemy or blaster in high speed, and cleaned it while you were asleep. I hope you don't mind what I did" said Sherri as she handed Ahsoka her lightsaber.

"Thanks Sherri and no I don't mind what you did thank you. I am going to miss talking to you Sherri, oh and I forgot here the book you lend me" said Ahsoka as she handed Sherri the Jules Verne book.

"Keep it, as a gift from me to you" said Sherri.

"Ahsoka before I forget here" said Jyun as he grabbed Ahsoka's wrist and took off the force color.

"Thank you Jyun, I hope the next time we meet is on better circumstances" said Ahsoka.

"Me too, just get stronger next time we meet. I would hate to beat you up again" said Jyun.

"Well next time we meet I will beat you Jyun" said Ahsoka.

The ship landed and the doors opened. It was bright and the area was surrounded by the tropical trees and water. "Ahsoka before you go here take this" said Sherri as she handed Ahsoka a round cylinder with a button on it.

"What is it Sherri?" said Ahsoka.

"Its sort of a tracker, once we take off activate it so that the republic base will get the signal and come pick you up. I doubt your going to swim through the jungle" said Sherri.

"Oh okay thanks Sherri" said Ahsoka as she gave Sherri a hug.

"Take care now Ahsoka and good luck" said Sherri as she returned the hug.

"See ya Winston take care" said Ahsoka as she turned to the intercom to Winston.

"Good bye my dear and do take care" said Winston. Ahsoka turned to Jyun and didn't know what she should say.

"Well I guess till next time Ahsoka" said Jyun who seemed sad she was leaving.

"Yeah good bye Jyun and take care" said Ahsoka as she now seemed sad that was all Jyun would say. She got off the ship and stood clear away from the ship as it took off. She saw the ship turn on its cloaking device and took off. Ahsoka seemed sad seeing Jyun take off, but knew that whatever she was feeling would never be. She looked around and activated the tracking device and waited for some clones to come by and pick her up. The first thing she needed to do was come up with an excuse on what to tell the jedi council on what happened to her.

Unbeknown to her Ahsoka was being watched. A battle droid contacted someone one his wrist that they found a jedi nearby. The voice responding told them to halt their position that he would come and take care of the jedi himself.

End of this chapter till next time. Please leave some reviews see ya.
