I apologize for the late posting and short chapter (got whooped yesterday with shopping and football). So here is chapter one of The Hunt. Chapter Two should be out Monday:)

Chapter One
Ahsoka Tano was bored.
She had explored every inch of the shuttled carrying her and Jedi Masters Shaak Ti and Plo Koon to her birth planet of Shili. The pilot had in no uncertain terms banished the Togruta Youngling from the cockpit after she had set off an alarm accidentally after knocking the shuttle off course in her burning desire to get a closer look at the control panel. How was she suppose to know that the auto-pilot switch was so loose that a slight brush would turn it off?
Anakin Skywalker, her almost-older brother would have only laughed if he was the pilot and then show her to reset the auto-pilot, turning the accident into a lesson. Anakin loved to fly and took every chance he could get to teach her all he knew. He was determined that Ahsoka would be as great as flying ace that he was. Whenever Analise Skywalker, Anakin's twin head her brother giving a lecture to Ahsoka about flying, she would roll her eyes. Analise wasn't a pilot like Anakin. She preferred to keep her feet on the ground or let someone else handle the controls.
Ahsoka brought her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around it.
Thinking about the twins made her miss them and wish they were on the ship with her. She liked Master Plo and Shaak Ti, she did; but they weren't her big brother or sister. She could tell Anakin and Analise things that she didn't dare tell the Masters. Even Master Plo who was like her Dad.
Ahsoka curled up tighter in her hiding space, wedged between two cartons of supplies. She mentally scolded herself for being selfish. Anakin and Analise had both just gotten married and were now facing separation from each other and their spouses as battles began and war took hold of the galaxy.
Still she wished they were there. Teasing her, hugging her, telling her she would do great. She wished Padme Amidala, Anakin's wife and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Analise's husband were there too, even if Padme like to talk about politics which Ahsoka didn't understand and Obi-Wan could be too stern and serious.
There was just something about going back to Shili that was making her uneasy, nervous. It was something she knew she should remember, but couldn't. Something important. Something about her past.
Ahsoka shook her head and took a deep breath. 'Don't worry about tomorrow. Focus on the present.' Anakin and Analise wouldn't want her worrying herself until she was sick...And being sick meant that she wouldn't be able to do her Akul Hunt.
'Focus...If I do this and bring down my own Akul, then I can become a Padawan...Maybe even Anakin's Padawan...'

"Are you sure we should leave her alone?" Plo looked up from the datapad he had been reading. Shaak's normally peaceful face now bore a mask of worry. Ahsoka had been missing for a while now, ever since the pilot had banished the Youngling from the cockpit.
"Yes Shaak, she needs to be alone at the moment." he felt out along the Bond he shared with the young girl he had found. He could feel her nervousness and sighed. "At this time I think she needs more comfort than what I, as her foster father can give her."
"She needs the twins." It was a statement from the adult Togruta and not a question. Shakk sighed. "Sometimes I forget that she and the Skywalkers aren't actual siblings. Ahsoka acts just like them, especially Anakin."
The Kel Dor chuckled. "Well the Force did select her to be their baby sister, so it only makes sense that little 'Soka would act like them."
"What about her other siblings? Will they accept each other?" Shaak sat down next to Plo, a frown upon her graceful features. "After all their village..."
"I know...We can only hope that with the passage of time they will have taken a more positive outlook on the Force's will in their sister's life."
