(y/n)'s POV
"Harder Anakin."

"Are you sure? I don't want to hurt you."

"Don't worry I can take it."

"Alright, If you say so."

"Fuck that's perfect." I moaned at the feeling of his hands on my back, I swear he gives the best massages.

He chuckled, "You really need to take it easy when you're sparring with your clones, you have so many knots." He continued rubbing along my shoulder blades and I enjoyed how relaxed it made me feel.

I sighed, "I know I do." But sometimes I just get carried away. Also, I like them to be prepared for anything. It always devastated me whenever I would lose one of my men. I do love them all and I want them at their best to keep the casualty rate low, "I just want to keep them from dying on me." I spoke in a sad tone and I felt Anakin's hands become more gentle.

"You're doing a good job at that, your battalion has the lowest death percentage." He informed me of information that I already knew, but I still wasn't happy with it.

I sighed again, "I just wish the percentage was at zero." Although thats an impossible wish.

"Sadly in war, it will be never be zero." I felt his hands go lower and he smacked me lightly on the butt, "Alright Princess, come on, we're gonna be late for our meeting."

I whined as I turned around to lay on my back so I could look up at him. I gave him a pout, "But I was enjoying that." 

He chuckled as he leaned down and gave me a kiss. It's been a week since we finally got together and it's been heaven. We have been inseparable ever since and I don't think I've ever been this happy before. Does this mean we haven't fought? Nope, we still fight, but it's not as much as we did before and it's also not hateful like it used to be. And it always ends with us being in his bed or mine. It's fuel for our passion and it makes the you know, absolutely amazing.

Another good thing is the hallucinations, I haven't had any at all lately. I'm hoping it's because of the medication I've been taking, medication that I have yet to tell anyone about. I'm worried that they'll see me unfit for duty when in reality I feel perfectly fine now. So the only person who knows, is just my doctor, not even Anakin. I always take them when he's not looking, but I'll tell them all eventually.

"Do you really want Master Yoda giving you another lecture on punctuality?" He grabbed my arms and pulled me to my feet. He wrapped his arms around my neck and placed another kiss on my lips. I'll say it again; Being with this man is absolute heaven.

He pulled away and smiled down at me, "Alright." I sighed in defeat, "Let's go see what those old men want." I rolled my eyes as we left the room.

~*~•~*~

"No." Anakin spoke up and the council shot him a glare, as did I. He can't seriously expect us to work together on missions now. It's not like the council knows of our relationship, for all they know, we still hate each other.

Obi-Wan sighed at his former Padawans comment, "Anakin it's been settled, you and I are going to investigate the threat on the chancellors life, while (y/n) is going to watch over and protect him until we figure it out."

"Okay with that are you?" Master Yoda addressed me and I nodded.

"Of course I am." I smiled, I feel honored actually, I've never even met Chancellor Palpatine before. I hear he's a very sweet man.

I'm also glad that Padme left to Naboo a few days ago, I doubt I would've been able to resist the urge to find her and throw her off the Senate building. That would've been fun.

"Then it is settled." Master Windu stood up from his chair, "Obi-Wan and Anakin, you will start your investigation immediately. (y/n) I will drop you off at the Senate building."

I saw Master Yoda about to say something, but I shook my head at him. I swear that speeder accident with Windu was years ago, he seriously needs to let it go, "Sounds good to me." I took one last look at Anakin who was smiling sadly at me. This was going to be our first time being apart since we got together, I was going to miss him. I made sure no one was looking and I mouthed 'I love you' to him and he mouthed it back with a happier smile before I finally exited through the door.

~*~•~*~

"Thanks for the ride Master Windu." I smiled as I hopped out of his speeder.

He nodded, "You know, if you get your license, you would be able to take yourself." He raised a brow at me.

I chuckled as I walked backwards into the Senate building, "Now why would I do that when I have lovely people like you to chauffeur me around?" I smiled and he gave me a scowl in response, "See ya." I gave him a two-finger salute before turning around fully to enter the building.

After being given directions by countless different people, I finally found the office I was looking for. I placed a knock on the door and it opened to reveal two guards, "Hello gentlemen, I'm from the Jedi Temple, I'm looking for the Chancellor." I looked between them.

"Let her in." An old grungy voice came up from behind them and they stepped out of my way.

I nodded to them awkwardly and walked inside to introduce myself to the man I'm going to be protecting, "It's a pleasure to meet you Chancellor Palpatine." He smiled as his eyes landed on me. He stood up from his chair and went around his desk to walk towards me, "I'm Jedi Knight (y/n) (y/l/n), I've been assigned to watch over you until the threat on your life has been cleared." I held my hand out to him and he accepted it with both of his hands, so mine was caught in between his palms. I smiled up at him with a wide grin, excited that I was given such an honor to watch over the Chancellor himself.

His bore into mine,"Oh no my dear, I can assure you, the pleasure is all mine."

Anakin's POV
"Anakin, you need to not worry. She's more than capable of handling herself." Obi-Wan spoke up after a few moments of silence, I hadn't said anything about her, but he always had a way of knowing what I was thinking and how I was feeling.

I sighed, "I know, but I always worry about her. I always have, even when I pretended I didn't." I informed him as I leaned back in the speeder.

He let off a little chuckle, "Oh I know, but just remember that she is one of the most skilled Jedi's we have. Master Yoda has trained her very well and  she has a better mission success rate than even you." I rolled my eyes at his last comment.

"That is not true, I have a higher success rate." She may be my girlfriend, but I'm still extremely competitive.

He shook his head, "Yeah, in getting caught."

I turned my head to shoot him a glare, "Very funny," I looked back in front of me, "I'm also not much of a fan of the Chancellor." Hes always given me a weird feeling. Most people like him and he seems like a nice guy, but I don't know, something about him always felt off to me. But that could easily just be my untrusting, paranoid mind.

"He's a harmless old man Anakin." Obi-Wan spoke and I didn't need to see him to know that he rolled his eyes.

I shrugged with a sigh, "Yeah, I guess you're right."

(y/n)'s POV
"Thanks for buying me lunch Chancellor, you didn't have to." I smiled as I folded the empty bag and placed it in his waste basket next to me.

"Nonsense, it's the least I could do for your services." He smiled at me from across his desk.

I tilted my head, "For a man who has a target on his back, you seem awfully calm." Most people would be cowering somewhere, but here he is, seated next to a window of all places.

He chuckled as he leaned back in his chair, "I am more than trusting in your capabilities to keep me safe. I requested for you personally you know." He informed me and my eyes widened slightly.

"What; why me?" There's plenty of other Jedi who are more skilled than me, Anakin included. Most people would choose him since he has this chosen one thing going on, he's also the strongest with the force.

He shrugged slightly, "Why not you? I've heard wonderful stories of the amazing Jedi (y/l/n). You have quite an impressive reputation." He leaned forward and placed his elbows on his desk.

I chuckled, "I wouldn't call it impressive." Okay yes I would, I was just being humble.

"I beg to differ." He smiled with a chuckle of his own, "So, how is life at the temple?"

I leaned back in my chair to get more comfortable, "As good as it can get." Now that Im with Anakin, it's the best it's ever been.

"Do you sleep well?" He asked as he tilted his head and I furrowed my brows together slightly, that's a bit of an odd question. But he could just be making small talk.

I nodded, "Some days better than others, lately it's been in the better part." I shrugged and my eyes darted to behind him when something caught my attention, "Get down!" I instructed as a shot fired through the glass. He dropped down and the shot was aiming for me. I stood up and lifted my hand to stop it mid-air. I pushed it back in his direction and it hit the assassin outside in the chest. It seemed to only burn his armor and he began to fly away, "Oh no you don't." I held my hand out again and used it to gain a grip on him to catch him before he could go further. He began struggling in the air, trying to fly away but my force hold was too strong for him. I began to slowly close my hand and he started to come closer to me. With my other hand I pulled out my lightsaber and made sure it was ready for when the man was close enough. I backed away and the Chancellor was pulled a good distance away by his guards as I continued pulling the person inside, "Who are you?" I spoke authoritatively as I aggressively through them against the wall once they were in, damaging their jet pack. They fell to the floor and tried to get up, but I already had my lightsaber pointed at them, "Does this look like the assassin from yesterday Chancellor?" I asked without taking my eyes off of the masked individual.

"Yes that's him." He informed me.

"Take it off." I demanded the assassin and they slowly moved their hands, but not in the direction I wanted them to, "If you go for that blaster, I'll cut both of your hands off." I threatened and I heard a frustrated sigh as he gripped his helmet and took it off to reveal his face.

"A clone?" I looked to him confused.

He rolled his eyes with a huff, "I'm no clone."

Suddenly there was a pair of hands on my shoulders, "You did very well my dear, my guards will take him now for further questioning." Just as he said, both of them picked him up by each arm and carried him off.

I turned around to face him, "I'm going to have to make a call to the council to inform them about this." I also wanted to see if they knew who he was and why he looked exactly like the clones, but claimed to not be one.

He nodded, "Of course and thank you for saving my life. It was impressive to watch, I can already tell that you have a wonderful future ahead of you."   He praised me with a smile and I couldn't help but give him a smile in return.
