rust chapter 17 As soon as the door closed the girls were arguing. Isis just let them talk she was still slightly dazed by the offer. She was uncharacteristically quiet, while the girls argued around her. "You can't honestly be considering staying here?' said Chani to Petra. "Yeah our parents are going to be real worried about us," said Kira. Petra glanced at Isis nervously. Isis sighed she hadn't had a chance to tell Kira about her dad. "What about these people they need us" argued Petra "I'm sure they can handle this on their own" said Chani "what about Dooku and his friends?" said Kira "what about them? Said Chani "they know where we live" said Petra "we just can't leave that many bad guys running around" said Chani "its not our responsibility" said Kira "then whose is it?" said Petra "we don't even know if they are the bad guys" said Kira. "Yes we do, look at the lessons" said Chani "what of them?' said Kira. "Embrace your hate and anger, those are negative emotions" said Chani. Kira sighed in exasperation. She really wanted to just go home. The others looked at Isis in appeal. Isis approached them. She closed her eyes in a pained expression. Kira stopped arguing to look at her funny. "Isis is there something wrong?" said Kira. Isis frowned and let out another sigh "Kira there is something I need to tell you" said Isis "what is it?" said Kira. The others had gone mysteriously quiet behind her. "I'm sorry I have to be the one to tell you this," said Isis approaching Kira. "Kira please sit down honey," said Isis. Kira numbly sat on one of the desks. The look on her friends face was scaring her. "The night we were kidnapped I went over to your house," said Isis "I was looking for you, because you didn't answer your phone" said Isis. Kira nodded mutely for her to continue. "When I got there the door had a huge hole where the knob was supposed to be and your dad was hurt" said Isis "hurt how? Didn't you call someone?" said Kira "yeah I called 911 but I couldn't stay" said Isis. "Why not?' said Kira "Jango Fett showed up and started shooting at me" said Isis "that's how I got your car" said Isis. Kira looked sad and slightly angry. "Is that when you wrecked it?" asked Kira. "Yeah I picked up Petra and we made a run for it, but Fett shot at the car" said Isis "and it flipped" said Petra. "Still they could have shown up when they were being chased," said Chani. "Yeah they could have" said Kira softly "we need to go back so we can know for sure" said Kira. "Kira if someone saw Isis fleeing your house and your dad didn't make it they may think Isis did it," said Petra. Kira glared at her, why did she have to make sense now? "Yeah and how would she explain it? A flying space man shot at her?" said Chani "yeah that would make us sound crazy," said Kira "not to mention get Isis locked up for sure" said Kira. "So what are we going to do?" said Chani Kira looked pained for a moment and they gave her the space she needed. "I'm sorry Kira I know how much you want to go home," said Isis. Kira looked at her. She really wanted to know if her dad was ok. Kira knew whatever she chose to do Isis would probably stay here. Kira didn't want that to have to happen, they were a team. As much as she wanted to go home she didn't want Isis to get blamed for something she didn't do. With no way to prove otherwise without looking crazy themselves it would be hard for her to get out of the charges. "So were agreed we aren't going home?' said Petra. "No I guess not," said Kira softly. "Kira are you going to be ok with this?" said Isis. Kira looked like she wanted to cry. She stifffled a sob and they put their arms around her in a group hug. "We will be here for you, you know that" said Chani. "I know," whispered Kira. "We could always scry to see if he's all right," said Petra. 'Yeah we could" said Kira. She was regaining some measure of control back. "I guess I have to be" said Kira "I'm sorry I should have told you sooner, but I didn't want to make our situation worse" said Isis "its all right I understand" said Kira hugging Isis back. "So are we accepting their job offer?' said Petra. "Well it is a job," said Chani. "I don't see anything wrong with accepting their training as long as it doesn't interfere with the rede" said Isis "and well have to watch the rule of three" said Kira "but it is possible" said Chani "oh yeah without a doubt" said Petra "yeah we just need to be careful" said Kira "besides maybe it will be easier from the good guys side than the bad" said Petra. "They aren't necessarily bad, Petra" said Chani "yeah they could just be misunderstood" said Isis. "Was kidnapping us a misunderstanding?' said Chani "or what Dooku did to Isis a misunderstanding" said Petra "she was punished for that" said Kira "and Dooku helped us escape" said Isis "well I still say they are evil especially that bitch Asajj" said Petra. They looked shocked for a second Petra never swore. "What about Dooku?" said Kira "what about him?" said Isis "what he did to you was evil Isis" said Chani "he fell in love with me how is that evil?" said Isis "more like he fell into obsession over you" said Petra. Isis snorted "oh come on Isis he blackmailed you into sleeping with him" said Chani "please stop making excuses for him" said Kira "all right, all right, he's evil happy now?" said Isis. "So are we joining the good guys?" asked Petra "I believe we already decided that already" said Kira "yep guess we're the good guys again" said Isis "about dang time" said Chani They returned to the council's chambers and informed them of their decision. Isis ended up with Anakin for a teacher, though she couldn't bring herself to call him master. That part was just too weird for her. Kira was assigned to Obi wan, he would have his hands full. Chani with a strange alien named Kit Fisto. Petra ended up with a woman with tails on her head named Aayla. They were set to begin their training the next day and were shown to their rooms. They soon realized that even though some of their training was similar at the Sith school. It was by far not any easier. Isis was beginning to think her new master was an asshole by the first day. She hoped he had heard her call him one too. While the Sith tradition stressed emotions, the Jedi stressed calm. That was a new concept for all of them. They were used to moving in a constant state of fast forward. The other was the emotional control and the no attachment rules. Several of them openly laughed at them for those. About six months into their training they started going on assignments with their masters. Separate assignments on other worlds far away from each other. Isis didn't like it, its not that she had no faith in their abilities. It was more like lack of trust; she still didn't fully trust her new allies. She was more than a little concerned for her friends especially with Dooku's Sith students running around out there. "Mind your thoughts," said Anakin walking up beside her. She had been looking out the transports window and not really paying attention to her surroundings. "Your worry bleeds into the force like an open wound, control your emotions they are fine," he chided. "Sorry, didn't know I was projecting" she said, "Isis your only projecting to force sensitives" he said with a smile. He laid his hand on her shoulder and gave it a squeeze. "They are in good hands, show some faith my dear and try not to worry so much" he said "Anakin that's like telling someone not to look down" she said with a wry grin. He put his arms around her. She looked at him funny, he loosened his grip. She looked back out the window. Somewhere out there was Obi wan and Kira and they were supposed to meet them on the planet. "Worrying about Obi wan instead," he whispered into her ear. She play smacked him, he sounded entirely too smug. She couldn't hide the blush however "will you please stop doing that?" she said "doing what?" he said in mocking innocence. She put her hands on her hips and glared at him. He chuckled "you know" she answered. "Isis he can handle himself" he said, "besides you were projecting" he chuckled and ducked a second play slap. "Then why does he keep needing to be rescued?" she answered, "perhaps he enjoys having such a lovely rescuer," he teased. "Gee trying to steal my boyfriend" she teased, "hey I have a girl friend thank you and for the record I like women," he said back. "Besides he's fine I would know if he was otherwise," said Anakin "I know the link thingy, I get it" said Isis "Isis its called a force bond, not a thingy" he chided. she shrugged. "Ok, ok I got it, touchy aren't we" she teased. "Isis may I ask you something?" he said. "sure shoot" she responded he shook his head in exasperation "why will you not allow such a link between us?" he asked. She just stood there and blinked in shock. "I don't know I guess it scares me," she answered at last. "Why does it scare you?" he asked gently. Isis turned away from that piercing gaze. He rested his hands on hers. She swallowed suddenly very nervous and uncomfortable. He removed his hands. "I guess I just don't want to get that attached to you" she said, "Cause you're afraid you'll lose me?" he said. She nodded looking at her lap. "I'm sorry I've just been seeing an awful lot of masters loose Padawan's and Padawan's loose Masters lately, I guess I just don't want to be hurt like that" She said "or for me to hurt like that if I loose you?" he asked. She nodded "Isis look at me" he said She looked up at him. He took her hands in his again. "Isis I am deeply touched that you wish to spare me pain if something should happen to you but you are also making it so I cannot save you if something does" he said "you spend enough time being a hero with out adding saving me into the mix" she said with a snort. "Well be that as it may, you are still my responsibility and I intend to live up to that, whether or not you ever call me master" he said softly. "Because I am your master and if I can save you I will even if it means my death to do so" he said in absolute calm. "Aah that's so sweet" she answered and hugged him. He laughed and buried his head into her shoulder. "Will you show me that same amount of trust Isis?" he asked She nodded "good, because I can't help you if I don't know you are in danger" he said "what makes you think I need you to rescue me?" she said "do not be so arrogant" he said "I get it from my master" she teased "very funny my stubborn Padawan" he answered "equally stubborn Jedi Master" she said sticking out her tongue at him. "Besides I might just rescue myself," she said baiting him. "While I admire your independence my dear that isn't always possible," he reasoned, "your not going to let this go are you?" she said "not on your life" he answered she rolled her eyes. "All right I'll do it, if only to get you to stop asking" she said "I've only asked once" he answered "yes well once was enough ok" she said he laughed and shook his head. "Just give me a little time to work up to it" she said He sighed "you shouldn't have to its not scary Isis and it doesn't hurt" he said "but its permanent" she said "as is this" he said tracing a tattoo on her back. A tiny thrill went up her spine and she stepped forward. He was grinning at her. "That was permanent and it hurt but you still did it, why do you fear this Isis?" he asked gazing into her eyes. Her mouth went dry and she forgot how to think or talk. He leaned forward towards her. He looked like he was planning on kissing her. Isis quickly stepped back, "Anakin don't" she said. he stopped his forward movement and looked at her confusedly. She held up a hand between them stopping him from moving any closer. "We both have someone who would be hurt by this, it can't happen," she said. He sighed she was right but that still didn't halt the disappointed feeling. "I'm sorry I don't know what came over me?" he said "its ok I understand" she said. He looked up at her and his eyes seemed to darken for just a split second "do you, do you really Isis?" he said coldly. Isis felt a chill run up her spine and unconsciously took a step back. The look in his eyes was suddenly very scary. "I guess not" she said and edged away from him. Intending to walk away. Then as abruptly as the dark mood came it was gone and he looked hurt by her rejection. "But I guess I never will if you don't" she said and then walked away. He watched her walk away. He felt both hurt and relieved. He wasn't sure what he felt for Isis but he worried that it might be more than friendship. A thought that disturbed him because he was still very much in love with Padme. Not to mention she was in love with Obi Wan not him. He closed his eyes and rested his forehead on the window. Force he was so confused. He wondered if his attraction had to do with the fact she was with Obi wan. Part of him still resented the council's acceptance of their relationship while his and Padme's was forced to remain hidden. He groaned out loud he felt bad about the coldness of his rebuke. She had after all been trying to offer forgiveness for his actions. Which had been wrong but why did they not feel that way. He meditated for a little while to clear his head. Then he went in search of his padawan who was also meditating. He watched her for a few minutes. She certainly was a perplexing creature. She seemed to be very insightful when it came to his heart, or Obi wans. Now if only we were smart enough to listen. He still found several things about her very disturbing. One that she had been trained as a Sith. That the council agreed to retrain them as Jedi and that they did so regardless of their ages. When Qui Gon had defied the council just to get him trained and he was the chosen one. The moves simply defied logic and no one would answer why. Even the force withheld the answers. Which in itself was frustrating. She was trying to ignore his presence. She knew he was there of that he had no doubt. He came closer stopping right behind her. "I'm sorry" he said softly she turned slightly to look at him. He truly did look repentant. She sighed "your forgiven" she said. he stepped closer and she stiffened. "Isis do I make you uncomfortable?" he said "not usually but earlier yes" she answered without turning. "I'm sorry I'm supposed to be developing your trust not destroying it" he said "you have my trust" she answered "do I, because I feel as though your with holding that from me" he said "I'm sorry I don't know why I do that" she said "we'll work on it ok" he said. He looked away lost in troubled thoughts for a moment. She saw the worried expression on his face and asked "what's really bothering you?" he looked away suddenly guilty about his thoughts and wondered what she had picked up on. "I'm sure she's fine," said Isis "who?' he asked dumbly. "Padme, dur Anakin what's wrong with you?" she said "nothing I just miss her " he said "its ok I'm sure she misses you as well, and if its any consolation I miss Obi wan too" she said and hugged him. He returned the hug and smiled she felt so soft and warm. So much like Padme but so different, especially in the way she smelt. He was glad he was able to cover the true cause of his troubled thoughts. For once more than grateful that she seemed to have no skill in reading minds. Which was at the moment a good thing for him, because she would have slapped him for his current thoughts.
