Note: This part takes place during the Clone Wars during the episode arc "Deception" I had to modify it a bit but other than that it's similar to the episode.
Thanks for the idea obikintrash ❤️

Obi-Wan Kenobi knew what he had to do.
He would do it for the Republic.
For the Chancellor.
For Anakin.
But he wasn't sure if Anakin would ever forgive him for it.
They had chased the sniper for awhile now.
Obi-Wan's body was exhausted from leaping across buildings and chasms.
It was time.
As he took the life suppressor that lowered his body into a death like sleep, he wondered.
As he stepped into the open to give a clear shot to the shooter, he was afraid.
The bolt hit him square in the chest, knocking the wind out of him through the bullet proof vest.
He stepped backwards, but his feet met air.
As he tumbled through the air, he hoped the Anakin would forgive him.
As he slammed to the ground, he knew Anakin might not.
Pain seared though his body, but only for a moment.
Anakin wasn't one to forgive easily.
Perhaps Anakin's love would help him forgive.
Those were Obi-Wan's last thoughts before the suppressant took over, and he plunges into a death-like sleep.

Anakin looked across the the tops of the buildings in the underground levels of Coruscant.
He saw Obi-Wan Kenobi step out from behind a wall.
He watched as a blaster bolt fired from the sniper hit him square in the chest.
He watched as Obi-Wan's limp body tumbled over the edge of the building, and to the streets below.
"No!!!!" he screamed as his love fell several stories to the hard ground.
He would kill that assassin.
He sprinted after the fleeing figure, his anger burning in his chest.
His anger took over, and his exhausted legs churned on.
Obi-Wan couldn't be dead.
He refused to accept that.
He had just walked out in front of the sniper.
Like he wanted to get shot.
What was wrong with him?
Obi-Wan was never careless.
But Anakin sensed his Force signature fading rapidly.
The sniper climbed onto a speeder, and let go of a small object.
A smoke bomb.
It exploded, and Anakin gasped for air.
The thick black smoke filled the air around him, and he hunched over, coughing.
The assassin was gone.
He had to get to Obi-Wan.
His feet slapped against the pavement as he ran to his love.
He leapt down the building, using the Force to guide him.
Ahsoka was crouched over Obi-Wan's crumpled body.
"How is he?" Anakin asked, panic in his voice.
Ahsoka only looked up, tears welling up in her eyes.
Anakin kneeled beside him.
"Obi-Wan!" he yelled urgently.
He gently shook Obi-Wan's body.
Sadness pierced Anakin's heart.
He felt for a pulse, not couldn't find one.
He wanted desperately to kiss Obi-Wan's soft lips, but he could not.
Obi-Wan was dead.
His love was dead.
"OBI-WAN!" Anakin screamed blindly, anger and sadness filled his entire soul.
"OBI-WAN!" he screamed again.
He collapsed onto his love's body, tears streaming down his face.
Ahsoka just sat there, tears rolling down her cheeks.

At Obi-Wan's funeral, Anakin said nothing.
He hadn't spoken a single word since the incident.
He let his anger burn inside him, consuming his soul.
He hated the assassin.
The one that had ripped his love away from him.
Obi-Wan was dead.
Ashoka whispered to Master Plo-Koon
"I'm worried about Anakin. He hasn't said a word since it happened."
Anakin watched as they lower his lover's body into his grave.
Anakin felt like his heart was being buried instead of Obi-Wan's body.
Anakin clenched his fists at his sides.
He would find that assassin, and get revenge.
Anakin knew that he would.

"So..." Obi-Wan spoke. "How was my funeral?"
"A better performance than you, your corpse gave" Master Yoda spoke with a smile.
Obi-Wan removed the vest, inspecting the burned part where the blaster hit.
"Ouch..." he mumbled to himself.
"You have survived worse" Mace Windu spoke.
"Barely" Obi-Wan muttered sassily.
"Let's get your transformation underway."
Obi-Wan watched as his beard and hair was shaved away, and his face burned as it transformed him from handsome Jedi to fearsome bounty hunter.
"This is a voice emulator. It will make you sound like Rako."
"How does it work?" Obi-Wan asked, nervous about the answer.
"Well..." Windu said with a grin, "you have to swallow it."
"I was afraid you would say that" Obi-Wan mumbled as he choked down the strange device.
Oh Obi-Wan, Mace Windu thought.
Sassy as always.
"How...odd" Obi-Wan mumbled in his new voice.
"You know your mission. Anakin's reaction to your death will sell it. Everyone thinks you are dead. You two have a very close bond." Windu spoke.
Obi-Wan chuckled nervously.
Master Windu had no idea.
Obi-Wan was escorted into the high security prison, where he was to discover the plans that were in place to kill the Chancellor and he was to stop them.
Obi-Wan knew Anakin would seek revenge, even though it was not the Jedi way.
Obi-Wan hoped that it would not be too late to stop the assassination attempt.
He hoped.

Anakin and Ahsoka barged into the slimy bar where the bounty hunter, Rako Hardeen, lay in a back room, drunk on cheap Arellani whiskey.
Hardeen was the one Obi-Wan now wore as a disguise.
"Jedi?" he mumbled incoherently. "I already killed a Jedi..."
"You!" Anakin yelled, yanking Hardeen's body close.
"You have no idea what you've done! You will pay! You took my... my lov-" Anakin's voice cut out.
"You took my Master! My Best Friend!"
Anakin was screaming now, shaking him furiously.
"I should kill you, but the man you murdered would rather see you rot in jail. Come on."
Ahsoka helped Anakin escort Rako out of the bar, dragging his body along.
Ahsoka did not speak to Anakin, scared of his anger and his lust for revenge.
Her montrails sensed hatred radiating off of Anakin.

Hot embers still burned in Anakin's heart.
But he was also heartbroken.
He threw Hardeen at the feet of Yoda and Windu.
"Here. This scum killed one of our best Jedi"
With that, he turned away with Ahsoka close behind, trying to comfort Anakin as grief destroyed his heart.
