Obsession

Switched places

Maul groaned as he woke up, his head pounding and his legs tingling.
"I told you we shouldn't have trusted that thing Kenobi." Maul said with his eyes closed after he heard the other groan.
Obi-wan gasped looking at his hands as they were red with black. He looked down at his numb feeling legs that were mechanic.
"Maul?" Obi-wan said through the Zabrak body looking over at the human body that was his.
"What the hell?!" Maul shouted as he noticed he was in a human body.
"What did that thing do to us?" Maul hissed looking over at Obi-wan who was in his body. Maul got up and looked at the body he was in.
"It would've nice of you to help me up Maul. I don't think I can move you legs, they weigh  a ton!" Obi-wan said sarcastically and Maul rolled his eyes. Out stretching a hand, he help the other up. Obi-wan wobbled as he stood up and stumbled a bit after taking a few steps.
"Are you alright now?" Maul asked looking up at Obi-wan.
"Yes I think so." Obi-wan replied looking at Maul and noticing his blue eyes had a thin ring of yellow around the pupils. Maul saw that his eyes were void of the yellow that nearly engulfed his irises. Obi-wan looked away feeling a bit uncomfortable with the staring.
"We should find our way to that village." Obi-wan looked around at the clearing they were in. He felt like he could see everything from his height. Maul walked around looking for a trail through the thin fog.
"We'll have to make our at back to where we were for me to find the trail to the village." Maul lead the way through the woods. They were walking for a good time when Maul noticed that Obi-wan was silent the whole time.
"You're quiet back there Kenobi, are you ok?" Maul looked back at his old body.
"Oh, yeah I'm fine. Im just thinking." Obi-wan responded following Maul.
"The village should be straight ahead now so not much longer." Maul reported and as they walked Obi-wan was silent for a moment before speaking again.
"Maul?" Obi-wan spoke breaking the silence and Maul hummed in response.
"I'm sorry." Obi-wan said looking down at the mechanical legs that weren't his.
"What?" Maul stopped caught off guard and looked at the Jedi trapped in his body.
"I understand most of your pain comes from that day you lost your legs." Obi-wan says softly not wanting to anger the Sith in his body, that scoffed rolling his yellow blue eyes and return to walking.
"You understand?" Maul repeated hearing Obi-wan follow behind him.
"You understand nothing Kenobi if you think my pain comes from losing my legs." Maul's voice was edged as he continued to look ahead.
"I did not say it came from losing your legs. I said it came from that day." Obi-wan went up next to him instead of walking behind him.
"I was so afraid I would lose everything that I lived and worked for, when I helped in taking everything from you." Obi-wan watched his partner for any sign of understanding what he said.
"What happened that day and the time you were held captive by me is now in the past Kenobi. Keep it in the past." Maul said as he kept looking forward and walking.
"Maul, that being said that it did this so we could understand each other. The only way for us to understand each other is to understand what we did in the past." Obi-wan said looking back down at his body and Maul stopped looking at his old eyes.
"The past is the past. Keep it like that or go back to the ship." Maul hissed and Obi-wan turned around and headed the opposite direction than Maul.
Obi-wan headed back through the forest the way he had memorized. He had heard laughter than he stopped looking around.
"You don't look so good there. So where's your boyfriend?" The being asked sitting on a tree branch with its smile looking down at Obi-wan.
"He's not... He doesn't want to talk about the past. He's not trying to understand things." Obi-wan explained stopping to talk to the being.
"Who said you had to talk?" The being cackled
"What do you mean?" Obi-wan asked
"You're in his body. Look into his memories through his eyes. Understand the way he sees things." The being explained watching the Zabrak body filled with the Jedi spirit.
"And how do I do that?" Obi-wan asked more
"The same way you remember things. Just think about it! Just be careful there maybe things that you never wanted to know." The being said and its body dissipated into the thin fog lining the forest ground. Obi-wan stood there for a second.
"Things I don't want to see? Maul is a Sith there could be parts of his mind that could be useful to the Jedi..." Obi-wan thought out loud with a hand to his chin.
"But do I really want to go through Maul's memories to help myself?" Obi-wan looked back where he left Maul to not see him there. He shook his head and kept walking. "It would be rude. I should just give Maul his time. He'll come and talk when he is ready." He decided and as he walked the being appeared again.
"Of course. Give him time. The longer you both wait memories will force themselves to the surface. Even the ones you don't want to see." The being said and Obi-wan kept walking. The being faced Obi-wan and shouted:
"Go ahead ignore me. But if you both don't understand each other within 14 rotations of this planet than you'll be stuck in the others body."
Obi-wan stopped and looked back to find that the being was gone. He looked back to where he came from than where he was heading.
"Maul! There you are!" Feral said running up to the red Zabrak.
"We thought you had gotten into trouble." Feral said with the Togruta running up behind him.
"Maul? Where's Master Obi-wan?" Ahsoka asked confused
"I'm fine Ahsoka. Maul is getting the parts that we need to fix the ship." Obi-wan responded speaking through the red Zabrak body.
"Uh, Maul? Did you hit your head on something? You just said you were getting the parts and I asked about Master Obi-wan." Ahsoka looked confused along with Feral.
"No Ahsoka I'm fine. I didn't hit my head. I am Obi-wan. Maul and I had ran into some creature and it had switched out bodies." Obi-wan explained
"So what happened? Did it switch your spirits?" Feral asked trying to understand.
"I'm not sure. It said that this should help us understand each other." Obi-wan answered
"So why isn't Maul with you right now?" Ahsoka asked
"I tried talking to him about something and he got angry about it and I thought it would be good if I gave him some space." Obi-wan explained
"I think it would be best that we quickly get these parts and get to Dathomir so Mother Talzin can help." Feral advised
"Yes I think you're right." Obi-wan agreed and turned around.
"Follow me, I know the way he went." Obi-wan said and lead them the way. Feral looked around and noticed that the fog way slowly growing.
"I guess I can see why you guys didn't return last night. This fog grows quickly." Feral commented
"Stay close to me I don't want any of you to get lost." Obi-wan said as the fog was crawling its way up their legs. Once they made it to the village, the fog dissipated and the village people looked like Cathars. The group spotted Obi-wan's body talking to one of the village people. They walked over to Maul, who sensed them as soon as they entered the village. Maul faced the group thinking as the village person walked into  their store.
"I thought I told you to go to the ship." Maul glared at Obi-wan.
"I started to than they found me and we agreed that it would be best to make sure that you don't hurt anyone and that we get the proper parts." Obi-wan smartly said
"I want to find you to say that we should get extra parts in case if something like this happens again, since this does seem to happen a lot with us." Ahsoka added
"Anything else Jedi?" Maul asked annoyed through Obi-wan's body while the Jedi force laughed through the Zabrak body.
"From where I'm standing, you're the Jedi now, Maul." Obi-wan smirked as Maul glared at him. Turning his attention away to the store owner who brought out the parts Maul told her that they need extra parts and the store owner when back inside.
"Just because you're in my body Kenobi, doesn't mean you'll win in a fight against me." Maul mused the thought of them sparing in the others body watching the store owner disappear into the store.
"I bet I can win if we did fight." Obi-wan commented on his thought and Maul looked back up at the Jedi.
"Just me and you, no one else. I'm sure I can win." Obi-wan continued pushing the idea of them fighting.
"I highly doubt that Kenobi." Maul said than had a sharp pain in his head. He hissed and rubbed his head. It was a hot burning more painful than the after shock of lighting.
"Maul? Are you ok?" The heard the muffled voice of Obi-wan and he felt flashes of fear and saw blurry flashes of fights, but none that the Sith recognized.
"Maul?" He heard Obi-wan repeat again
"I'm fine, it's just a headache." Maul said and he sensed the store owner. He took the extra parts realizing the money was on his old body, he walked over to Obi-wan and took the money. Than he gave the store owner the correct amount of money.
"Let's go." Maul said and led the way back to the ship. His head throbbed as he walked trying to make sense of the blurry battles he had seen.

(AN: I hope everyone is able to understand the body switch thing if anyone is having trouble please just comment and I'll try to make it more understandable!)
