The Rising

Caleb meet Hera

Ahsoka smiled at Rex who was now covered in sweet, Caleb wasn't much better though his sparing buddy was a training droid.

Rex smiled at Ahsoka through his heavy breathing, she smirked back at him before blocking his attack. Rex was inches away from her face causing her to blush a little before bearing her fangs for him, "your getting much better Rexy" she whispered making him smile before he replied "good enough to get a kiss from you?".

Ahsoka giggled before moving so swiftly Rex didn't have time to react as he was pinned on the floor with his wife's knees underneath his shoulder stopping him from moving again.

Rex looked up at his wife as she smiled down at him, "not yet, but very close" she whispered as she bent over inches from his face. Rex smiled at how she was positioned on top of him "this isn't so bad....." He whispered back relaxing as Ahsokas fangs slid over her lips gently.

She was seconds away from meeting his lips when they heard a loud scream.

Ahsoka and Rex's heads snapped to where Caleb was training to spot a small light green Twilek child holding her arm which was bleeding. A smaller Twilek boy with tan skin was hitting a downed Caleb as he yelled words in his native toung.

Ahsoka and Rex scrambled over to them, Ahsoka pulling the girl into her arms as she calmed her down as best she could while Rex broke the two boys up holding the small Twilek up by his collar so his toes where barely scraping the floor, his other hand was holding Caleb's collar pulling him back as he stared daggers at the small Twilek boy.

Ahsoka had managed to take a look at the wound on the girls arm, it was a lightsaber burn all right, thankfully it wasn't too bad as it only grazed the skin. "Hey it's gonna be ok little one" Ahsoka whispered kissing the girls forehead as she closed her hand around the wound. The girl was still crying as Ahsoka tried to calm her down, Rex on the other hand was fighting with two very angry boys.

"You hurt Hera, your a meanie" said the Twilek boy.

"I didn't mean to hurt her she got in the way" Caleb replied causing Rex to wince before he heard Wolfs tell tale gate running towards them.

"Oh kids on an active war ship it will be fun wolf you'll love it" Wolf muttered under his breath as he made his way over to Rex.

Once there he managed to grab the struggling Twilek boy and hold him as Rex pulled Caleb back farther away from the fight. Caleb panted heavily as Rex took a knee looking up at him slightly "what happened?" Rex asked as Caleb glanced at Hera, his eyes heavy with guilt. "I didn't see her while I was training, I didn't mean to hurt her" he muttered quietly before Rex noticed that Caleb's saber was on the floor three feet from them. Rex grabbed it and held it out for Caleb to take but Caleb shook his head and stepped away from Rex.

Rex sighed as he nodded understanding why Caleb didn't want to touch the saber. It was a dangerous weapon, and he was probably too young to stomach the idea of hurting anyone.

Ahsoka on the other hand was having better luck with Hera who had stopped crying now and calmed down enough for Ahsoka to heal her. She could feel Caleb's curious eyes on her as she worked on force healing the wound. Hera watched sniffling as Ahsoka worked, her brother managing to wiggle out of Wolfs grip and hug Hera's side tightly.

"What is that?" Caleb asked Rex as he watched Hera's skin slowly regenerate itself. Rex smiled before placing a hand on his shoulder "that is force healing, just as the force has the ability to district it can also create. Though it's usually extremely draining to the Jedi who use it" Rex explained earning a warm smile from Ahsoka who could just over hear them.

Wolf on the other hand was beyond pissed.

"You two are so grounded" he growled at the two twileks once Ahsoka had finished. Caleb walked closer to see what had happened to the wound only to be stopped by a angry little boy half his size. "Your not nice" the box growled causing Caleb to jump back slightly.

"Ok, I think we all got started on the wrong foot" Ahsoka said her arm still wrapped around Hera's.

"Oh I don't know, looks more like history repeating itself to me" a new voice said behind them causing them all to jump as Plo entered calmly with a very worried Chopper and Riyo right behind him. The two Twileks ran to hug Riyo as chopper sent glares to Caleb who gulped terrified. "Jedi are mean" the tan Twilek boy said as he addressed Riyo who shook her head "Nix I'm sure he didn't mean it".

Hera on the other hand spotted Caleb's gaze on her arm before meeting her gaze. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you......I should have paid more attention to my surroundings" he said his voice betraying his guilt. Hera smiled at him before her brother huffed and shook his head "your still a mean jedi". Caleb on the other hand was still looking at Hera's eyes as if he had just been hit with a starship.

Plo chuckled before turning to Chopper, "your ready to face off with the banking clan I assume?" Chopper nodded his eyes making daggers at Caleb before he returned to the conversation with Plo.

Rex smiled at the small family before leading Ahsoka out of the training room. "Oh Chopper is gonna have to keep an eye out for Caleb" Rex smirked as Ahsoka entered their room.

"Caleb and Hera? Hmmm not too bad of a couple" Ahsoka mused as she stretched a little "did I look that floored when I first met you?" Rex asked as he stood behind his wife gently rubbing her flat and toned stomach. "Mmm....no.....you where more run over than floored" Ahsoka giggled as Rex kissed her shoulder. "They will get the funding though right? Alderan and Naboo fighters are fine and all but....." Rex started his voice trailing slightly "....but they are taking too long to train.... maybe it was a good idea for the clone army to be so big, I mean we are just meat shields after all" he finished.

Then he felt himself being tossed back onto the bed before a heavy and familiar weight pressed against his chest, he looked up to see a pissed off Ahsoka her arms crossed and her fangs out looking lethal.

"Rex Tano, you and none of the other clones are meat shields, you are flesh and blood just like the rest of us fighting in the war. Your worth just as much as every single fighter out there and if you ever refer to yourself in that way again I will hit you with your own dam armor!" Ahsoka growled out making Rex afraid at first before smiling at her. "I'm sorry Cyare," Rex mumbled as he gently pulled Ahsoka down so she was laying on top of him instead of crushing his chest "I guess I'm just feeling a little lost" he finished kissing her nose.

Ahsoka looked at him skeptically before realization dawned on her, she unclipped Rex's saber from her belt and gently placed it in his hand. He looked up at her ready to lecture her like he did on the planet before she silenced him "if you feel a little lost then maybe meditation can help calm your mind?".

Rex thought about it for a moment before he nodded "ok Cyare, but only as long as I have you for a guide".
