Anakin was standing in the shadows as he continued to follow Obi-Wan down a crowded street. He knew that his former mentor sensed him, but he also knew the Jedi master would not create a scene in such a crowded area. That is one of the reasons Anakin had decided to confront him in such a populated area. If Obi-Wan did not give him the information he needed then of course he would take more drastic measure, but he would try to do this civilly for the sake of his wife and children. He knew that Padme would rather solve this problem without using violence and so he would try once. He doubted his former mentor would be willing to give him what he wanted, but he would try for his family and then if he had no other option, he would resort to more Sith like tactics.

Finally Obi-Wan stopped right in front of a small shop. He was tired of being followed and wanted to get this over with as soon as possible. Hopefully his former student wouldn't be prone to causing a scene. "You may as well come out because your ability to be stealthy hasn't gotten any better since you've turned to the dark side."

Anakin smirked as he stepped out in to plain sight. "If my skills are lacking then it can only be because of the teacher I had."

"I see you are still putting all the blame of your failures on others." The Jedi stated with a sad shake of his head. He hated seeing this is student had fallen so far. "What is it you want from me Anakin."

"I want my wife and my children of course." He responded with his hand hovering right about his light saber in case he was forced to use it. "Give me my family and we won't have a problem."

"You know I can't do that." The Jedi master said. "They are safer where they are with me. If you were in the right state of mind you would see that. I wish it had not come to this, but I have to do my duty as a Jedi and that is protecting the innocent even when they don't see they need to be rescued."

Anakin's eyes sparked red. "You think I would hurt my family? All I have ever done is protect them! I everything I do is for Padme and the twins and yet you dare stand there and accuse me of being a danger to them? You are the one who are holding them against their will. If I were you, I would take a look in the mirror I started throwing around accusations. You will never understand the things I have done for the people I love because you've never felt true love and so you cannot possible understand."

Obi-Wan flinched a bit at that comment because it was the truth. While he cared about people, he had never had a love, not like Anakin and Padme. "I may not have love like you and Padme, but I do know that is not an excuse for the things you have done. Explain to me how killing of innocents is what is best for your family?"

"The galaxy is in chaos and chaos creatures danger. If order has to be forced in order to make this galaxy a safer place than so be it." Anakin was growing tired of this conversation because he knew they would never agree and just keep spinning in circles and that would just end up being a waste of time. "I am going to give you one chance to give me back my family and if deny my request then what happens next is on you. If you won't give me my family then I will do what I must in order to get them back. The next move is all on you, so what will it be?"

Obi-Wan straightened his spine as he met Anakin's eyes with his own. "I will not give in to threats. Do what you think you must do, but know that it won't matter. I will never allow you near Padme or those children again. As it is I am going to have to undo the damage you have done and that could take years. I will never give you the chance to do something like that again."

"Then I will see you soon Obi-Wan and I suggest you don't turn your back because I will be there. I won't allow you to keep my family from me. The next time I see you I will kill you. You could have ended this today, but you have to play the act of someone noble doing the right thing. Before I kill you I will destroy everything you care about even the slightest. You won't know where I am coming from and there you will be unable to defend yourself or the lives of people you may feel are important. I will tear your Jedi family apart exactly like you are trying to do with mine. You really should have taken my offer. I'll make sure you live to regret this before I kill you. You'll be begging for death by the time I am done with you." Anakin ended his statement with a glare before turning in the opposite direction and disappearing in to the crowd.

Obi-Wan watched until he could no longer see Anakin. A part of him wished he had taken Anakin's offer, but the Jedi part of him, the part that wants to do what is right, knew that he had done the right thing. Things may get rough, but he had dealt with worse and he would handle this the way any Jedi would. For right now he had to get back to Padme since Yoda would be arriving soon.
