Jareth felt someone enter the Underground and almost ignored it but there was something that bothered him. He couldn't quite place his finger on it so he concentrated on the Labyrinth and his castle. That's when he heard the music, someone was playing the violin. Writing it off as just Behome, he continued to work on the papers on his desk. He started to sing along to the music under his breath. It was when he realized what he was singing that his head snapped up and he vanished, reappearing in the music room.

" Behome!"

Behome jumped up from the piano as Kalina flew in, her face tight with exhaustion and nervousness.

" I did it…that damn Labyrinth..."

Behome took her by the shoulders. " What do you mean? You scared me half out of my wits Kalina." It was then that he noticed that they weren't alone.

" Don't say anything, please," Kalina said as she grabbed his sleeve. He looked at her and a sudden, if not immature thought came to his mind and it was coming out of his mouth before he could stop it.

" Well…You gave me a scare, and I think I should be compensated."

He saw Kalina narrow her eyes and clench her fists. " I never thought I'd hear something like that come out of your mouth Behome, you seem like an overall nice guy."

He just smiled and said two words. "A kiss."

Catching her wrist right when her hand was going to strike his face, he noticed something deep in her golden eyes, something he couldn't quite put his finger on.

" YOU BASTARD!"

She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, even when angry. If he could, he would go about courting her, but she was promised to another. Since she had arrived, he had constantly thought about her. Looking into her eyes he could picture what it would be like to spend his life with her. Those eyes would be the last thing he saw before he fell asleep and the first thing to greet him in the morning. Without thinking, he pulled her close and laid a chaste kiss on her lips and let her go. He never thought he see someone turn the shade of red Kalina did. When it started to border purple he knew that he should make a hasty retreat.

" Good luck." said Behome with a smile as he left the room. He would never regret that kiss, even if she refused to see him ever again. Behind him he could hear Kalina let out a shout of rage.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Kalina was fit to be tied. " Who the hell does he think he is? There'll be time later to kick his ass but as for right now, I need to catch someone else's attention."

Picking up a violin she started to play. The melody was once used to try to make a certain young girl forget about her brother. As Kalina played, she noticed that a few goblins had made their way into the room and stood staring in awe at her companion.

" Never thought I'd see her here again," whispered one to the other.

They scattered suddenly as a hand whirled Kalina around and she stared in to mismatched eyes. Jareth looked at her then his eyes looked behind her and she saw them soften then harden again.

" Sarah," he said. Looking at Sarah, Kalina notice her hesitate before walking up to the Goblin King.

" Jareth."

Ever so slowly he reached out and touched her cheek. " Why are you here?"

Sarah looked at her and Kalina all but lost her temper. " I wished her here dumbass. Is that all you have to say to her after not seeing her for seven years?" rolling her eyes she added, "You're such a romantic."

Sarah giggled at Jareth's expression. " It's alright Kalina, I'm quite shocked to be here as well…I had forgotten how-"

She was cut off by Jareth pulling her into an embrace.

" How?" he asked Kalina as he let Sarah go. She glared at him.

" I don't tell my secrets. I simply needed to know something, and I went about a way to find out. Don't think that just because I was wished to you that I'll just spill out what you want to know. However, I do want to make some terms with you in private. I prefer to do it now, outside the door, so that I know that Sarah will be safe." Grabbing Jareth's shirt, she dragged him out the door. Throwing him against the wall, she pointed her finger in his face. "First off," she hissed, " I will not have you offer her to any visitors who happen to come by. She was wished here by me and I can wish her back. Say that you have rights to her indefinitely, anything so that she doesn't have to experience what I did. If I so much as see you push her forward to anyone, she'll be gone. Secondly, I am her bodyguard. If anyone tries to hurt her, I will do what is necessary to protect her. This includes you. Am I understood?"

Jareth stared at her for a moment before nodding. " You're terms are crystal clear. However, I think a change in wardrobe will be necessary if you want to be a bodyguard."

"DAMN YOU JARETH!"

Sarah tried not to laugh as Kalina entered the library. She didn't seem to happy with her new outfit. Black tights, poet shirt and boots obviously wasn't what she had in mind. Kalina looked at her and grimaced.

" Well…it does have a…umm...appearance about it." Sarah said, holding back a grin. Kalina tugged at the tights and the poet shirt. " I can't believe he's comfortable in these tights, it's like wedgie central…and the crotch is uncomfortable…"

Jareth appeared behind her as she watched Kalina try to get comfortable in her clothes. Jareth was holding back laughter as well but he waved his hand and Kalina was in a new outfit.

" Now this is more like it," a happy Kalina said. She was dressed in black again, only this time she had soft breeches, boots, jacket, gloves, and a belt with a couple pouches. A hooded cape flowed behind her as she walked around.

" You'll need a weapon or two," Jareth said, " if you know how to use any."

" I know many things," Kalina said haughtily, then to Sarah, " don't worry, if I didn't know what I was doing, I wouldn't have offered my services."

Sarah smiled, " I still don't see why you feel the need to be my bodyguard."

A dark look came into Kalina's gold eyes and Sarah wondered what had happened to cause it. She also wondered how Kalina came about having gold eyes. They were wild in a way, but they didn't intimidate her. She knew however, that if Kalina chose too, she could make her eyes scarier than her actions. Sarah didn't know Kalina's story in how she got here, and she didn't want to pry for Kalina seemed like an extremely private person.

Behome entered the room and froze staring at Kalina. Sarah smiled slightly as she motioned to Jareth, who was supervising Kalina as she picked from an array of weapons that he made appear in the library. He nodded and they both vanished, leaving Kalina and Behome alone.

" Do you think that was wise," asked Jareth, as they sat on the couch in his study.

Sarah only smiled. " I think Behome and Kalina could use a little time alone together. Besides, it would give us an opportunity to be together and talk. I'm sure there are many things that we wish to ask each other."

Beside her Jareth smiled back. "Indeed we do," he said.
