Reunion

"Kel?" Neal sputtered, shocked at the entry of his missing friend.

"Who did you think it was, meathead…" Kel replied mockingly with an amused lilt to her voice, "Lord Wyldon?"

"Kel," Neal sighed in relief.  He walked calmly up to her and hugged her tightly (A/N: this is a FRIENDLY hug.  Don't get any ideas..) as if to make sure she was real.  "KEL." Neal cried sobbing into her shoulder. (A/N: I know, I know, way ooc for Neal, but come on, how would you feel if you thought your friend was dead, and you find out they're alive)

"It's alright, Neal, it's okay." Kel crooned soothingly, like a mother to an upset child.  After a few minutes of crying, Neal straightened his back and wiped the tears form his face.

"I'm sorry, Kel.  I thought you were dead.  I missed you a lot." Neal told her, tears still glistening in his eyes.

"It's alright, Neal. I thought I would never see my friends again.  Including you, meathead." After a moment of thought, Kel's voice betrayed the thought she had held at the back of her mind during their tearful reunion.  "Can I hold the baby?" she asked quietly.

"Of course," Yuki said, her presence momentarily forgotten with the reunion of the two friends.  Yuki handed Kel the baby.  After a minute of holding Dariakel, or Dari as Yuki called her, Kel gave her back to Yuki. 

"Thank you." Kel said, trying to hide the fact that she was envious of the young couple.  "Although I hate to leave, I must tell our other friends that I have returned safely." With that, Kel walked out of the door

Please r/r!!!
