We had arrived at Steadfast after only three days, Neal wanted to make it two until I mentioned that our journey should include sleep. Our little band of warriors which included Neal and myself and five odd soldiers were welcomed with shouts of happiness and claps on the back.

Owen had jumped to hug me shouting: "Kel!" when I had slid off Peachblossom, only to stop frozen in place an inch away from me by the clearing of his Knight Master's throat. I traded an impressed glance with Neal, someone had civilized Owen! It was a miracle. We had then quickly bowed low to Sir Wyldon, Owen's knight master and our former training master. He nodded his head curtly and had servants show us to their rooms accompanied by Owen of Jesslaw; Sir Wyldon's squire, and one of my closest friends. Only when we had settled in and had gone to get lunch away from Sir Wyldon's eyes did Owen jump to hug me, he was so excited that he knocked me to the ground, I gasped for air. Neal broke out laughing as a sheepish looking Owen stood up to let me breathe.

"Ahem" a little cough came from behind them, I looked up to see Yuki, my old Yamani friend, standing in her beautiful gold and red kimono on the grass, looking the figure of beauty.

Neal turned white as sheet and stopped laughing, turning serious he ran forward and to everyone surprise picked Yuki up and twirled her in a circle. I smirked when I heard my friend giggle, thinking of the scowls Yuki would've gotten in the islands had she let her emotions show like now. Neal set her down and gave her a very long kiss, Owen stuck his tongue out as if he were to puke, this made me laugh uncontrollably. The noise made Neal break away just in time to see what Owen was doing, he let go of Yuki and ran after Owen who tried to escape. Yuki sighed in concealed laughter and followed them in a calm walk. I shook my head as I watched my friends go, they were children in grown men's bodies, I wouldn't want it any other way. I started thinking of my village and when I came back down to earth I was sitting in the grass completely alone.

"What, you don't come say hello to your friends anymore Lady Knight?" I laughed seeing Dom walk out towards me and sitting down on the grass. I pushed the tingling feeling of him sitting so close out of my mind.

"I'll have you know sergeant Domitan that I have been very busy since my arrival at Steadfast." I said this in a mock haughty voice placing a hand on my chest.

"Looks like Sir Meathead's rubbing off." He said with a grin. I scoffed and pushed him with one hand. I gasped noticing his hand was on the side of my stomach What was he doing? I started laughing and couldn't stop.

"So the Protector does have a weakness" he said wickedly all the while tickling me.

"No! Dom stop!" I said between wheezes, I was crying from laughing so hard. I rolled to the side but he rolled on top of me. I couldn't stop laughing.

"Helllppp!"I tried calling for someone but I was laughing too hard, Dom was smiling as we kept rolling. Suddenly he stopped, "Gods Dom..." I shivered under him finally calming down from the hysterical laughter, I scowled at him once I had gained control again, why wasn't my mask working?.

We were on the grass some 10 meters from where we had started, I looked up to lose myself in his eyes. He was close, he looked at my eyes and slowly traveled his gaze down to my lips. I noticed how his breath had gone ragged and mine caught, he was so close. He leaned in, his dark brown hair touching my shoulder, his nose touching mine, it was so soft.

Soft? What is wrong with me?

I couldn't move, couldn't shove him off me, not that I wanted to... He leaned in once more and our lips met, we broke apart but I couldn't see, I needed him, needed to feel his lips on mine once more.

I put my hand behind his head and gently pushed his lips against mine in a lustful kiss. We broke off for air again;

"Don't worry, there's enough of me to go around." I rolled my eyes;

"Mithros Dom, can't you just enjoy something without being sarcastic for once?" He leaned in and kissed me again. His eyes flashed mischief;

"I take back what I said about Meathead rubbing off on you, or else this would just be gross." I rolled my eyes again. But this was Dom, this is what I liked about him. I kissed him again. He put his hands in my hair and I put mine in his and we just kissed in the grass as if the world would end tomorrow and we'd never see each other again.

"Kel!" Someone shouted in the distance, someone who sounded a lot like Sir Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak.
