Obi-Wan had been heading outside in order to get some solitude so that he could mediate and try to get the stress out of his body. This whole situation with Anakin had taken a toll on the older Jedi even though he did his best not to show it. He wanted to be able to trust Anakin in the same way Yoda seemed to, but Yoda hadn't been on Mustafar and because of that he really had no idea how far the 'chosen one' had truly fallen. Still, if Yoda saw something in him worth saving than Obi-Wan would put his faith and trust in the small yet wise green Jedi.

"Do you trust them to keep their side of the bargain?" Obi-Wan recognized the voice of his former student and he slowed his steps once he saw the family sitting together outside in the tall grass.

Padme had Luke in her arms and Anakin had Leia in his. He had sent word to C3P0 that it was safe to bring Leia here and so the gold droid had. Chewy was still safe because Padme didn't want to bring him in to this situation unless she had too. It was safer that way for everyone involved. The only reason the twins were here was because Anakin figured he could keep a better eye on them this way. If Padme had sent them somewhere else he couldn't be sure the Jedi or anyone else to take him down, wouldn't go after them just to hurt him. It had happened once already and he'd be damned if it happened for a second time. Sure Yoda said there was no worry about the twins safety, but Anakin wasn't quite as trusting as his wife.

"I believe they have no other choice than to keep their word." The former queen of Naboo replied as she rocked her son back and forth in her arms. "Sometimes you have to choose the lesser of two evils, not that I think you are evil, but the Jedi know that they have no other choice than to make a decision of who the bigger threat is. Besides, as soon as this is over we can take Luke, Leia, Chewy, and the droids and go somewhere where no body will bother to look for us. We will get out of the reach of the political mess and be a normal happy family."

"That's all I've ever really wanted." Her husband admitted when he felt the presence of his former teacher. "I always could sense you no matter how hard you tried to hide Obi-Wan. If you have something you need to say then just say it already."

Knowing had had been caught, the older Jedi stepped out of the shadows. "I was not trying to hide. I had no idea you were out here and by the time I realized it was too late so I was trying to get passed without bothering you, but now you see I am here, do you think we talk Dar- I mean Anakin?"

The 'chosen one' snapped his head around to look at Padme. They were having a sort of silent conversation and after a few seconds Anakin passed Leia to his wife and stood up. "I'll be back in a few minutes my love."

She nodded and watched them walk off. It was Obi-Wan who spoke first once they were out of sight of Padme. "Yoda may trust you, but I want to make it clear I do not feel the same. You betrayed the very thing I believe in and while I admit you are not as far gone as I first came to believe, you've still fallen prey to the dark side. You had options and yet you chose the worst possible one. The only reason I am working with you is because there is a bigger threat right now. We need to concentrate on the problem at hand."

"I do not have faith in you keeping your word either." He snapped back feeling anger start to bubble up from the very pits of his stomach. "If it weren't for Padme I wouldn't even be here, but I am doing this for her. Honestly I could care less about what you think of me. I stopped caring a long time ago. Did you really think I could ever trust you again after what you did to my wife and children. You took my family away from me and the only reason I have them back is because Yoda went over your head. You know something I don't get? I thought that you had never loved before and that is why you couldn't understand what I was going through, but I know all about Siri and how you were in love with her. If anyone should understand why I did the things I had to do, it should be you, but you didn't even try. You want to know why I hate you so much, well now you have your answer."

Obi-Wan was stunned as he watched Anakin head back in the direction of his family. He hadn't thought of Siri in years because it hurt to much. Maybe Anakin had a point. Perhaps the reason he was so hard on Anakin and unwilling to forgive him because he blamed himself for the death of Siri. Perhaps all of his feelings right now had nothing to do with the situation and his former student, but rather his own emotions he had yet to deal with. He would have to think of this and then talk to Anakin once more. Right now he would speak with Yoda and see if the wise Jedi master had any advice about his recent breakthrough. He still did not trust his former student, but had come to see that he was smarter than most people gave him credit for.

AN: Hey people I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I still feel horrid, but I wanted to post something and well this is something. Do not think that is the end of Obi-Wan's feud with Ani because it's not, not by a long shot.
