A/N: Thanks u guys for all your great reviews. Here is the next chapter so enjoy!

The shells flew out of my gun as I dragged Vaughn towards the water. I had been hit multiple times everywhere but I managed to ignore the pain. Men ran at me only to fall under my steady fire. All that mattered to me was Vaughn.

We reached the water and I dragged him in. I pulled him under, coming up every now and then but just barely for air, which I pumped into him. We swam out; well I swam out, straining my muscles. Dive, pump, resurface, dive, pump, resurface.it didn't seem to end. The salt water was getting into my wounds sending blinding white pain from everywhere.

Eventually I realized that the fire had stopped and that I was sinking. I pulled myself together and swam toward the shore. I pulled Vaughn up and fell into blissful unconsciousness.

I awoke to a burning sensation from all over. I shot up, automatically in spy mode. I managed to grab an arm and twist it before I found myself on the ground one again. Vaughn sat above me looking both slightly amused and worried.

"Geez you didn't have to slam me down like that." I said sitting up.

"Oh yes I did, you were about to break my arm and that's the last thing I need." I then noticed that he had multiple shreds of t-shirt wrapped around his midriff. I looked down at my won wounds. I was covered in patches of what used to be Vaughn's coat. Then I noticed that there was a strip going all around my chest, he had gone under. I blushed furiously and Vaughn must have noticed.

"I hope I didn't violate you too much. It's just that you had been cut there and." he trailed off looking down. I smiled, he was always trying to act so perfect around me, it was nice to see the embarrassed side of him once and awhile, even though it was at my expense.

"Its okay Vaughn, thank you for taking care of me. How are your wounds?" He grimaced and then smiled at my look of worry.

"Well I did lose a lot of blood, but you're the one we should be worrying about, how-how did you do that?" he asked.

"Do what?" I asked. His intense stare was making me blush.

"Save me and drag me to the water and-I don't know, keep us both alive?" he said and a wave of admiration swept over his face. "You are an amazing woman Sydney." He said, my entire being melted.

"I dunno, it was just really training and-I just wanted to save your life this time, to make up for last time in Taipei." I said and his face fell.

"I never could take baths after that, it was all I could do to swim us here." He said

"Same here." I trailed off. Sydney do it, just kiss him. It is obvious that he feels the same so why cant you just do it? Now, now it the perfect time! Go for it!" For once, I listened to my heart. I leaned forward; interrupting whatever he had been saying and my lips hit his, hard. Before I knew what was happening he pulled me into a tight embrace and we hit the sand. We came apart gasping for breath into the sand. His emerald eyes were dancing in the light and we came together again. His hand swept down my neck and farther down till it was on my waist. I was running my hands through his hair but I stopped suddenly because a sharp pain came shooting from my stomach area. We had been pressing so hard against each other that it had pressed into my wound. He pushed me arm's length apart and rolled me over onto my back. He took the scrap of tee shirt that was my bandage and looked at the bullet graze. It was red and swollen.

"I'm okay, really." I said he gave out a small laugh.

"Sydney even if you were on your death bed you would say that" he said and covered my wound back up. I wanted to go back to the way we were but instead I just snuggled into his stomach, spoon style and we lay on the beach, letting the moonlight bathe us and the small waves tickle our feet. I fell asleep listening to his soft breathing and the beat of his steady heart.
