Chapter III : A Third Attempt


SOMEWHERE IN CORUSANT

Two dark figures met in the shadows of the city. They were bounty hunters hired to kill Senator Skywalker by all the slave owners in Tatooine. "Our hired thug failed, Zam. The senator has Jedi protection now."

"If he has Jedi protection, we can't kill him now," Zam said.

"Jedi are not that tough. I've killed several." Zam sighed as she watched the bounty hunter from Tatooine pull something out of her pocket. "These worms should do the trick. The senator is staying for one more night until he returns to Naboo. My client is getting impatient. This is our last chance." Zam took the worms, and turned around. "And Zam, there can't be any mistakes this time."

"There won't be," she said pulling her mask over her face.


SENATOR SKYWALKER'S APARTMENT

Obi-Wan returned to Anakin's apartment to find Zett finishing up the security sweep of it. "Any activity?" he asked.

"Quiet as a tomb," Zett said, "No pun intended."

"Of course." Obi-Wan closed off the balcony, and walked up to his Padawan. "How's the senator?"

"Shaken up."

"Well, someone just tried to kill him. He has every right to be shaken up." Obi-Wan sat down on one of the couches, keeping his senses on high. He could sense everything going on in other room. Anakin was fast asleep. Floor sensors were on high, and R2-D2 was in the room with him. "We'll have to watch the platform when he leaves tomorrow for Naboo."

"Will we be going with him?"

"He needs a full protection detail, even on his home planet. However, he may be safer there than here."

"I heard he has a lake retreat on Naboo. Great view for sunsets and sunrises, if you know what I mean," Zett said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Padawan," Obi-Wan warned.

"What? I can see the senator likes you more than he should, and don't try to deny your feelings."

"What feelings? I'm not allowed to get attached to him."

"Okay, so don't get attached. Just have a hot sweaty fling." Obi-Wan groaned at his Padawan's insistence.

"Zett, you really think he's going to solve all my problems."

"Well, the bedroom problems."

"All right, that's enough." Zett put his hands up in defense.

Meanwhile......

Zam placed the tube of worms into a messenger droid, and it took off for Senator Skywalker's apartment building. It came up to the window, and observed the room. The floor sensors were on, and an astrometric droid was sitting near the door. It silently cut a hole in the glass, and released the two poisonous worms. They landed on the floor in between the sensors, and began to crawl their way to the nearest warm blooded thing they sensed, Anakin. They crawled closer to the bed, and were climbing up when the droid came to life. The two worms hid as R2 scanned the room before shutting off after finding nothing. The worms continued on their journey towards a sleeping Anakin.


"Why don't you like politicians, Master?" Zett asked.

"Well, ever since finding out Chancellor Palpatine was a Sith Lord, I've lost my liking for them," Obi-Wan said, "He was the senator's godfather, did you know that?" Zett shook his head. "There's no telling what he could've learned from Palpatine, which is why I'm going to keep an eye on him. So to speak."

"The senator is not that bad, Master, he ...." Suddenly they felt it, a tremor in the Force.

"I feel it, too. The senator!" The two Jedi ran into the bedroom, waking up R2D2. Zett powered up his lightsaber, jumped onto the bed, and sliced the two worms about to bite Anakin into two. Anakin awoke with a start only to see Obi-Wan fly out the window towards a droid.

"Stay here," Zett said before rushing passed the security coming into the room to go help his Master.


It wasn't until the morning when Anakin saw his Jedi protection again. Zett was sent back to him while Obi-Wan went back to the Jedi Temple to report. A changeling was the assassin. It turned out she was hired as well, but she was killed before she could spill anything. Anakin was packing up when Zett returned with the news. "So my assassin is still out there?"

"I'm afraid so, Senator," Zett said looking out the window which was being repaired.

"How is Master Kenobi?"

"Aside from a few scratches he's fine. Nothing our Healer couldn't fix." Anakin nodded as he tossed a shirt into his bag. "Forgive me for being straight forward, but do you like my Master?"

"Of course, I like him, he's my bodyguard."

"That's not what I meant," Zett said. Anakin sighed.

"I'm attracted to men," he confessed, "I've only had one lover in the past since I became King of Naboo."

"Who?"

"Deacon."

"Your old bodyguard," Zett said. Anakin nodded. "Forgive my asking, but top or bottom?"

"I prefer to be topped, but Deacon and I shared that position," Anakin said, "Why the questions?"

"Obi-Wan is a homosexual," Zett said noticing the joyful look on Anakin's face. "And he tops. No matter who his partner is."

"So, he's had partners in the past?"

"I covered for him sometimes," Zett said, "I remember one time he slept with his clone officer, Commander Cody." Anakin raised an eyebrow at this.

"He slept with a clone?" Zett nodded.

"Cody called him 'General Kenobi' during sex."

"How do you know this?"

"One of the other clones told me." Anakin chuckled as he sat down. In truth he had to sit down to keep his growing hard on hidden from the young Padawan. He was getting hard imagining Obi-Wan bedding his clone commander, being called 'General Kenobi'. "Are you all right, milord?"

"Fine, I'm just still shaken up from last night." Zett nodded as he helped a servant pack clothes. "That's the closest somebody's come to killing me. I was imagining that if you and Master Obi-Wan weren't here, I'd probably be dead."

"No offense, but you're probably right." Anakin chuckled as his servants finished the packing. "Master Obi-Wan should be back soon from reporting to the Council. He'll want to leave first thing."

"Right." Indeed Zett was right about Obi-Wan. Within a few minutes after finishing up his packing, Anakin saw Obi-Wan enter the apartment.

"The Council has launch a full investigation into the assassination attempts," he said, "Masters Siri Tachi and Aayla Secura will be investigating."

"Are they any good?" Anakin asked.

"They are the top Jedi investigators, Senator," Obi-Wan said, "They'll get the job done." He picked up a suitcase and carried it to the door.

"Before he was homosexual he slept with them," Zett whispered to Anakin. Anakin stifled a laugh before picking up another suitcase. "I'll get that, Senator," Zett said out loud. He took the suitcase, and gestured for Anakin to go ahead of him. The senator rolled his eyes as he pulled on his coat, and they were off. Getting to the ship was no problem, nor was getting on the Nubian star cruiser sent by the Queen to pick Anakin up. Anakin watched Obi-Wan survey the surrounding sky before climbing aboard. Obi-Wan followed after all the crew was screened, and he went to the cockpit. Zett escorted Anakin to his private quarters in the ship before joining his master in the cockpit, leaving Anakin with his new bodyguard. Deacon's body was safely tucked away in the cargo hold. Anakin was not looking forward to telling the man's parents their only son was dead. The star ship exited the planet, and made the jump to light speed.

Halfway through the trip, Obi-Wan started to feel sleepy after having no sleep for two days. He decided to head to a private area of the ship, and sleep for the rest of the trip. Leaving instructions for Zett to wake him up, Obi-Wan headed to find his private space. He decided to check on Anakin before doing so. He stopped in front of Anakin's door, and rang the bell. "Who is it?" a voice asked.

"It's Master Kenobi, Senator." Anakin sat up from his couch, drying out his eyes. He looked at himself in the mirror, making sure his appearance was okay, and opened the door.

"Can I help you, Master Kenobi?" he asked.

"May I come in?"

"Sure." Anakin stepped aside to let Obi-Wan in, and closed the door. "So what brings you here?"

"Just wanted to check on you before I got some sleep."

"My, my, you do sleep," Anakin said. Obi-Wan chuckled sending a shiver through Anakin. "I'm fine."

"How are you holding up?" Obi-Wan asked, "About Deacon, was it?"

"His parents know his job was dangerous," Anakin said, "It's going to hard on them, but they'll be relieved that they have a body to bury, and know it wasn't my fault. Even tough I still blame myself." They sat down on the couch, facing each other.

"Deacon's death was not your fault, Senator." Anakin sighed out.

"I just wish I could make things better," he said, "I loved Deacon. He was my best friend."

"Sounds like Deacon was more than just a friend and bodyguard."

"You guessed right, Master Jedi," Anakin said, "Deacon and I were lovers, until recent events took him from me." Obi-Wan raised his eyebrows in curiosity. "He had been my bodyguard and lover since I was king of Naboo. He died doing what he did best; protecting me." Anakin smiled slightly. "Forgive me for getting so personal."

"No, it's all right, Senator."

"Anakin," the senator corrected him. "Deacon had trouble calling me that our first night in bed together," he said.

"Was he your first?"

"My first and only lover." Obi-Wan coughed clearing his throat. "Would you like something to drink?"

"No, thank you," Obi-Wan said, "I shouldn't." Anakin nodded as he watched Obi-Wan run his fingers through his beard. Without thinking, he moved forward, and captured the Jedi's lips in a lip lock. Obi-Wan was a little unprepared for the senator's lips against his, but he soon settled into the kiss. He felt Anakin's arm wrap around his neck, and felt himself being pulled down on top of the senator. Anakin's moan when he put his entire weight on him made his cock twitch to life. He just hasn't had sex in; 'Five years,' he thought. Obi-Wan suddenly realized who was underneath him, and he pushed himself off the senator. "Anakin, we shouldn't do this."

"You're right, I'm sorry. I never should of done that." Anakin stood up from the couch, and turned his back to Obi-Wan. "Go ahead and get some sleep. I'm sure you'll need it if you plan to be up for another two days."

"Good night, Senator," Obi-Wan said. He walked to the door, and opened it. "My Padawan will wake you up when we arrive in Naboo."

"Thank you." Obi-Wan left the quarters silently, and the door closed. Anakin let out a groan of frustration, and sat back on the couch. "Dammit!"
