Ahsoka sat waiting for her punishment as Anakin paced in between the double bright yellow sabers.
"Your not helping" Ahsoka said grudgingly.
"I'm sorry Snips, i just don't know what to do!" Anakin said angrily.
"It's okay, I don't either"
"Listen Snips, before we get summoned, there's something i must tell you"
Anakin had always had the same thought on his mind, he loved Ahsoka and he knew it. This feeling for Ahsoka was much stronger than anything he felt for Padme. He knew that when she died on Mortis he had felt like something had shattered inside him. And when they were in the sewer in the Coruscant underworld, he was finally going to admit his feelings, but she jumped, descending into the underworld. When she had jumped he once again felt that same shattering feeling he did back on Mortis.
Ahsoka raised a brow.
"What is it?" she questioned.
Anakin sighed. He knew that she would never reciprocate his feelings, but the only way to put his mind and heart at rest was to admit admit his feelings towards her. He looked at her longingly.
"Just promise me something, whatever i say, you think of me any differently?"
"Of course not Skyguy"
"Okay, here goes" Anakin took a deep breath as he was about to confess something he had felt for almost two years.
"Ahsoka, back when you died on Mortis, i felt like something inside me had been ripped in two. And when you jumped out of that sewer pipe..." He trailed off.
"Anakin, what are you saying?"
"I think I'm in love with you Ahsoka" He looked at her longingly and saw her lekku gently twitching. He sighed again and closed his eyes.
"I'll never have her" he thought to himself.
Meanwhile, Ahsoka was trying to comprehend what she was just told. Anakin loved her? She smirked as she got an idea...
Anakin just sat there, refusing to open his eyes. He expected to be greeted with an intense look of disgust and horror.
Suddenly, lips connected with his own, he shot his eyes open and realized that Ahsoka was kissing him!
Ahsoka pulled back and looked at Anakin, he looked down, his cheeks flaming with embarrassment.
Anakin laid down on the bench with his chest facing the ceiling, Ahsoka looked at him worriedly, he didn't meet her eyes, she figured he needed some time to process what she had just done.
Then, she felt an invisible force grab her and she was pulled onto Anakin's chest and she was pulled into Anakin's embrace and met with a deep and passionate kiss from Anakin. She instantly forgot everything about everything as her heart and mind exploded from Anakin's loving embrace.
Ahsoka's hand wandered down and closed around Anakin's belt buckle, as lightly sucked on her left lek, causing her to let out a moan of pleasure. But before she could undo Anakin's buckle, there was a ding, indicating that she was being called before the council. She and Anakin simultaneously groaned at the fact that their first time together had been interrupted.
They both got up and walked onto the lift, It rose.
"Padawan Tano" Yoda started, "serious charges have been left against you, how plead you?"
"Not guilty master, I would never take the lives of innocents, the values of the Jedi are sacred to me"
"Though maybe not the attachment rule" Anakin said to Ahsoka through their Master-Padawan bond. Ahsoka chuckled.
"There is evidence to the contrary" Ki-Adi stated.
"Uh! He has no idea of what Ahsoka's like!"
"You were alone with Letta Turmond when she died" Ki-Adi continued, "can you explain that?"
"Someone used the force against her"
"Which brings us to Ventress", Plo Koon continued, "can you explain your association with her?"
"We had a mutual understanding, i thought she was helping me-"
"Did she help you acquire the nano-droid weaponry found when you were apprehended?" Mace butted in, "the same devices used in the bombing of the Temple?"
"No! I was set up and deceived as you are being deceived now!"
"The question is Padawan Tano, who is deceiving us?, Ventress, you, or someone else?"
Anakin didn't like the way Mace was talking to Ahsoka, he was very protective of her, even more-so now that she was his lover.
"I am not deceiving you!" Ahsoka snapped back, Anakin chuckled "i would assume Ventress is, but i can't be sure, my senses are clouded!"
"Clouded by the dark side, these things are, Padawan Tano, dangerously clouded, but not just surrounding you, surrounding many things"
"It is time" Mace said.
"You've already made a decision haven't you!?, this meeting is just a formality!"
"Reached a decision we have" Yoda said with a hint of uncertainty in his words, "though not in total agreement are we"
"It is the councils opinion, that Padawan Ahsoka Tano has committed sedition against the Republic, and thus, she will be expelled from the Jedi Order"
"You can't do this!" Anakin yelled as he lunged at the council, but guards stopped him.
"Your Padawan status will be stripped from you", Ki-Adi said coldly, "and you shall forfeit all rank and privileges within the Grand Army Of The Republic, you will be turned over to the Republic courts to await your trial and whatever punishment they will set for you, hence forth, you are barred from the Jedi Order"
Ahsoka couldn't bring herself to look at the expression on Anakin's face
