Two Halfs of One Warrior • Obikin/Vaderwan One-Shots

All Over My Teeth

• Summary: Anakin is bitten by an unknown creature on Kashyyyk, and is sent back to Coruscant with a fever and deadly infection. Obi-Wan's mission is to travel back to Kashyyyk in an attempt to try and figure out how to cure him. When Obi-Wan comes back, Anakin's condition is not what he was expecting.

Or, Anakin's a vampire and Obi-Wan happens to look very tasty.

"Ow! What the kriff?"

"What? What is it?"

Obi-Wan turned to shine his lightsaber in the direction of Anakin, who was gazing down at his flesh hand, with the glove pulled off.

"Something bit me," Anakin grumbled, exasperated. "Probably one of those things the Wookiees told us would be in here."

"Anakin," Obi-Wan sighed and shook his head. "We were specifically told not to get bit by any nefarious creatures while searching this cave."

"I know, Master," Anakin huffed, sheathing his lightsaber. "Just help me with this, will you?"

Obi-Wan lifted his saber over the wound, catching the deep indents in an aquamarine light. Anakin ripped a piece of fabric off from the sleeve of his undershirt, and promptly wrapped it around the palm of his hand, tying it off at the end.

"Did you see what it was?"

"No, did you?"

"Blast it," Anakin grumbled. He reignited his saber and turned around to look at the walls of the cave. "That thing couldn't have gotten far!"

The two had been walking for a while in one of the various tunnels of Kashyyyk, in search of a disturbance inside one of the caves-not far from a Wookie settlement. Obi-Wan and Anakin looked at each other-the classic 'what?' floating between them in the Force-while Yoda enlightened them with the details of the mission. They weren't entirely sure what kind of disruption could be so bad that even the Wookiees didn't want to investigate.

'A strong force disturbance, this may be,' Yoda had said. ' Powerful enough to shake Wookiee bravery, this is. Sith treachery, perhaps.'

"Anakin, I don't see anything," Obi-Wan protested, and squinted his eyes at the damp, grimey walls. "I think it's best that we head back to the ship, and treat your wound. After all, we don't know what bit you, or how fatal it could be."

Anakin let out a sound of frustration and looked at his makeshift bandage, "What about the mission?"

"Personally, I do not wish to carry your body if something happens to you while we're in here," Obi-Wan looked at his former Padawan's face, awash with a blue glow. "We can always come back once we make sure you're not at immediate risk of whatever could be in that bite."

Anakin huffed and turned on his heels-Obi-Wan followed suit.

When they docked at the landing port earlier, there had already been a group of Wookiees awaiting their arrival. From what they could tell, only a few Wookiees had gone in prior to their visit, but they hadn't gone far because of the overwhelming fauna; which, as they had been told, the Wookiees wanted nothing to do with. Obi-Wan couldn't fathom how such strong, courageous Wookiees could be afraid of whatever just bit Anakin, as the bite mark was relatively small. Then again, they both hadn't even seen what dealt the wound in the first place.

As the two of them neared the mouth of the cave, Anakin asked, "Don't you think it's strange that the Wookiees said there were a ton of nasty creatures in there, but we didn't see a thing?"

"I do," Obi-Wan answered. "But we may have not ventured as far as they did. Who knows how long they walked for."

After approaching the group of expectant Wookiees that were waiting outside, the pair explained that they needed to get back to the ship in order to examine Anakin's injury, which provided better lighting and proper medical equipment. Once they were in the Twilight, Obi-Wan ordered Anakin to sit down on the Medical Bay bench.
