Maul started to relax as he carried Obi-wan back to the Nightsister village. He was relieved to hear that no one was hurt, but the Nightsister refused to tell him what happened to Dooku. Maul had felt his presence unusually fade. Maul sat in one of the wings of the speeder as the Nightsister navigated her way through the woods in the woods.
When they got there he said nothing and got off of the speeder with Obi-wan in his arms and he walked back to the infirmary. He set Obi-wan down on the bed and sat on the chair next to the bed. He took a deep breath relaxing himself further. Little did those Jedi know that when they though Maul was meditating in the Nightbrother's but he was practicing on hiding his presence from other force users and it was what he was planing on doing now. Although he couldn't concentrate somehow something was bothering him, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
He looked at Obi-wan and sighed sadly. "Why won't you wake up already? You're safe, no one is out to get you Kenobi. Everyone here is here to protect you. I'm sorry for what I did to you Kenobi." Maul held Obi-wan's hand. "You're stronger than what others see you to be, even if Jedi are weak. Please wake up." Maul sat there waiting for kind of response. He growled standing up, he started to walk away until he noticed something was holding him back. He looked back and saw Obi-wan's hand hold tightly onto his.
"Please." He heard Obi-wan say roughly. "Don't leave." Maul's eyes started to fill up with tears, he didn't know what to do or say. He looked at Obi-wan for a second longer until he hugged the Jedi tightly.
"M-Maul?" Obi-wan said shocked and he felt Maul tremble. "Maul are you alright? You're shaking."
"I'm fine, Jedi. Just shut up." Maul hissed wanting to cry happily as he held Obi-wan. "I'm going no where."
Obi-wan couldn't help, but smile and hugged Maul back. After a few moments of silence Obi-wan broke the hug. Looking into Maul's eyes, he could see relief.
"How long was I out?" Obi-wan asked as he remembered what happened before he blacked out.
"Days, Kenobi. Too many days." Maul wanted to hug Obi-wan again but was stopped by Obi-wan hand and sharp glare.
"No, why are you even here?" Obi-wan asked and Maul was taken back by the question.
"Because we are meant to be together, us being apart is what made you sick. Because I" Maul was cut off by Obi-wan
"No if we were meant to be together Maul you wouldn't have become the enemy again! You rejoined the Sith! Do you have any idea how painful it was feeling my Jedi brothers and sisters being slaughtered by your hands?! By having you so far away from me put me through so much pain! I don't know what is worse: knowing it was you who killed them or what you did to me 10 years ago!" Obi-wan pushed Maul away from him. "How could you do that? Does the memory not stay with you?"
"Kenobi, you don't understand I" Maul tried speaking
"I don't understand?!" Obi-wan shouted at him. "You don't understand! I want you here with me so badly, but I do not want to be around someone who has constantly hurt me!"
Maul growled darkly at the Jedi. "Everything I tried doing was for YOU, JEDI. If you can remember correctly. It was YOU who started all of this! YOU left me for dead after your master took my legs. If I didn't have you then this sickness would have overtaken you than! And your precious master wouldn't know what to do."
"I think I would have rather wanted to die back than to live through all of this!" Obi-wan said and Maul physical flinched at that statement.
Maul ran through his head for something to say back but his head went completely blank. Obi-wan was surprised to of seen the Sith react like that. He was so overwhelmed with anger. It was the first time he never suppressed it.
"YOU are the cause of everything Maul. YOU have hurt me, scared me and made me become ill! Don't you think you've done enough? When will you be done with hurting people? When will you stop hurting me? How? How do you think I can truly love you? How can I trust you? You've never needed me and I've never needed you. We were doing completely fine in our lives before you made this connection in our heads." Obi-wan shouted at him and Maul stood there listening to every word that spilled from Obi-wan's mouth. He stood there, a sad and shocked expression turned into an expressionless face.
"I can't help but wonder if this bond is truly a bond or just some sick trick you and the Sith are doing. I am your enemy! You are a Sith and I am a Jedi! You kill the people I try to save. What is next Maul? You and your new master, Count Dooku, blowing up the Jedi temple? Because that's where you seem to be heading! Go ahead hurt me more! It's what you're best at!" Obi-wan finished and Maul's face looked as angry as a cornered wild beast and he growled at Obi-wan taking one step to the Jedi who remained in the bed. His arms shook with anger and rage and without warning he just left the infirmary. Leaving a dull ache in both of their chests.
Maul growled to himself he had stayed next to the Jedi, worried and concerned about him to only be sliced in half and only to fall into a dark abyss where he didn't know when he would hit the ground.
