"So, what's the big rush?" I asked as Obiwan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano and I walked along the streets of Coruscant.

"The Jedi Council has called an emergency meeting." Obiwan explained.

I sighed. I hated Council meetings. "I can see it now: another long, boring debate."

"Would you rather they call you in to train Younglings?" Ahoska asked teasingly.

"Ha! Are you crazy?" I replied to my Padawan's question. Council meetings were better than teaching Younglings, and that's saying a lot.

Ahsoka opened her mouth to reply when a blaster shot barely missed our feet. Three more quickly followed as the three of us sprinted to take cover behind large crates. Ahsoka and I were behind one pile while Obiwan was behind another stack. The crates Ahsoka and I were behind took no blaster fire, whereas Obiwan's was shot at repeatedly…

Whoever was shooting at us, was aiming for Obiwan.

"Any idea where that shot came from?" Obiwan asked as he ducked back under the crates.

"A sniper." Ahoska observed from behind me as she pointed to the roof of the building closest to us. "I see him up there."

"All right, here's the plan," Obiwan began to explain to us. "Anakin, you flank him on the right. Ahsoka, you cover the lower streets. I'm going after him." Ahsoka and I nodded in agreement. I didn't fully like the idea of Obiwan running after someone who was purposefully aiming at him, but the plan sounded good.

We all ignited our lightsabers and ran towards the street.

Obiwan and I began to leap up the side of two buildings. At the roof, we both glanced at each other before slowly prowling forward. Obiwan jolted back behind an exhaust pipe when a blaster shot barely missed his head.

The sniper began to shoot at Obiwan and then me before running even farther across the roof of Obiwan's building.

Obiwan and I immediately sprinted after him. He wouldn't get away. I had to know who he was, who he was working for, and why he was shooting at us.

Soon I came to a dead end of random parts of junk, pipes, and bumps and had to stop. I looked around for the sniper or Obiwan.

I commed Obiwan after a second. "I lost him!" I told him. "Obiwan, do you have anything?"

No response.

I just stared at my comlink, listening to the pounding of my heart in my chest.

That's when I saw him, and that's when I heard it. It didn't come from the comlink, but it came from Obiwan's mouth. He cried out in pain as the sniper's shot found its target. I watched, frozen in shock, as Obiwan stumbled back and fell off the building, clutching his heart. He crashed limply into crates below, just a couple yards away from Ahsoka.

"Obiwan!" I yelled down to him, silently praying that he was ok.

"I've got him!" Ahsoka turned to yell up to me. "Go!"

I blinked and determination flared up inside of me. Determination to avenge Obiwan.

I glanced up and saw the sniper run across the roof again.

Coward.

I used to Force to power my jump from the roof I was on, across the whole street, and landed lightly on the roof of the building.

I ran after the sniper as he leaped onto a speeder and began to drive away. I ignored the burning in my lungs and ran faster after him. He dropped a smoke bomb and it sprayed smoke around the area.

I coughed and waved my arms to make the smoke disappear. When it was gone, so was the sniper and his speeder. I cursed under my breath before my anger vanished and worry replaced it.

Obiwan.

I quickly turned around and sprinted back to the spot where Obiwan had fallen.

There were a few shocked bystanders in the street, but I hardly noticed them. All I saw was Ahsoka sitting on the ground with Obiwan's upper body cradled in her lap.

I walked up to them with shaking legs; my breath was coming out in ragged breaths. "How is he?" I asked Ahsoka.

She looked up at me with tear-filled eyes. She opened her mouth like she was going to say something, but nothing came out.

It was the way she looked at me. The way Obiwan's chest didn't move with breath. The way I wished that this was just a nightmare that I would wake up from. The way Obiwan looked so pale and unresponsive.

"Obiwan?" I knelt down to him, grasping his shoulders and shaking lightly as tears threatened to spill down my cheeks. "Obiwan? Obiwan!"

I kept calling his name as cops pulled up and took in the sight before him. Ahsoka was now crying freely as a policeman gently pulled her away from Obiwan's body. I barely aware of two strong hands gripping my arms and trying to pry me away from Obiwan's body.

"No! No!" I kept crying as my arms kept being pulled away. "Don't leave me!"

I hardly even noticed when Ahsoka came over and gently placed a hand on my shoulder. "Master," she spoke in a choked whisper. "He's…he's gone."

At that, I went numb, allowing the policemen to pull me away from Obiwan's corpse. I stood and Ahsoka crashed into my chest, crying into my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her smaller frame and stared as the police carefully carried Obiwan's body into an ambulance.

The crowd of bystanders had grown to a considerable number as a policeman asked me if he could take us back to the Jedi Temple. I nodded, finally prying my gaze away from Obiwan.

Ahsoka and I climbed into the backseat of the squad speeder and said absolutely nothing as we traveled back to the Jedi Temple.

We thanked the policemen before silently walking up the steps of the Temple and going straight to our dorm. Hardly any Jedi were walking around the halls, and I was thankful. I didn't want to talk to anyone, especially any Council members…unless they happened to be Obiwan…

I palmed open the door to my shared quarters and Ahsoka and I walked in. We kicked our boots off and unclipped our belts, allthewhile saying nothing. I pulled my tunic over my head and crawled into my bed.

"Master…?" Ahsoka whispered.

I looked up at her sorrowful blue eyes and lifted up the covers to my bed.

She gently crawled in next to me and buried her face into my chest as I protectively wrapped my arms around her. Warm tears fell onto my skin and I kissed the dip between Ahsoka's montrals softly. She curled up even closer to me as her shoulders shook with soundless sobs.

That's when I made up my mind: Obiwan's killer would pay.

Baboom! I was greatly inspired by the episode as to what happened after the scene cut. This was my take on it! It's only an oneshot right now, but I might continue if y'all want me to :)

AND TO CLARIFY: This is NOT an Anisoka fic. The kiss was comforting. Like a father to a daughter. Not like a couple.

I hope y'all liked it!
