Things are getting pretty hot wink wink, nudge, nudge and although it will be a hard long road through the jungle, they will get there eventually (as in togetherness :P)

KATE

Sawyer trudged through the jungle angrily, beating back the bushes with a large stick, incredibly bored. Kate walked a little behind him her head hurting more and more with every step she took especially with the sun beating down on them, it's rays burning her skin. Sawyer hit angrily out at a nearby palm leaf as it dared to cross his path. Kate could see how frustrated he was and suffering from tiredness herself, she couldn't wait to get out of there.

"Bloody stupid s-" she heard Sawyer cursing as one of the leaves attacked him. She rolled her eyes and ran untill she was behind him again.

Could he be in a fouler mood? she thought exasperated. It was impossible to keep up with him as he rushed through the jungle. She knew it was her fault, that he was in such a foul mood. He had been all quiet and moody since she mentioned Jack and with the heat, his mood wasn't improving anytime soon. He was walking so fast, she didn't know how much longer she would be able to keep up with him.

"Sawyer!" she shouted breathlessly, and he carried on, stomping through the undergrowth.

"Sawyer!" she tried again, jogging a little to keep up with him. He acknowledged her slightly but carried on walking.

"What?" he asked sourly, not even looking at her.

"Sawyer...please could we stop for a bit?" she panted grabbing his arm. He felt the sudden jolt of electricity run down his spine again and so did she. She quickly let go and looked downwards quickly, she didn't mean to touch him because every time she did she got the shivers.

"Please" she gasped still looking down at the soil which was suddenly very interesting.

"Fine" he said grumpily. He dropped his bag on the floor and sat down beside it leaning against a rock, squinting in the sunlight. Kate was immensely relieved as she felt really really ill. Not that she was going to be telling Sawyer that, not in the mood that he was in. Besides, if she did tell him,he would either get more moody, care (and that worried her most) or laugh.

She opened her bag and took out her water bottle which to her disappointment was empty she sighed and put it back in her bag, leaning up against the tree, panting heavily, her face shining in the light.

"Here" Sawyer said sighing as he chucked over one of his bottles. He took one of his and took a large swig from it before lowering it staring off into the distance.

Kate looked at it gratefully and unscrewed the top, drinking desperately. She looked at Sawyer over the top of the plastic and their eyes locked if only for a second before he looked away.

She lowered the bottle, gasping for air and feeling a lot better. She saw Sawyer fiddling with his shark tooth necklace looking into the distance thoughtfully as it glinted sharply in the light. She observed him curiously before she asked bravely;

"Where did you get that? I never noticed you wearing it before"

He looked up at her a little surprised but smiled a little bit at her although remembering a memory.

"Oh? been looking at my chest Freckles?" She blushed and couldn't stop the smile that escaped her lips. He rolled his eyes at her laughingly.

At least he looks a bit happier she wondered. Maybe he won't be so moody from now on

But as he spoke, he quickly changed into his normal dull tone that he used when angry and his well practicedmask slipped back up.

"Oh...this was in my luggage. Just found it the other day. My...foster sister gave it to me before I was moved to another family"

He looked away, his face showing no emotion whatsoever.

Or not... Kate thought sadly.

She had known about his past and but lots was still shrouded in mystery. She could only wonder how hard it must have been how hard it still was. She noticed that whenever he talked of his past, he quickly changed the subject, only letting bits slip every now and then. Yet she didn't push it, as far as she knew, he was the only person on the island that he had told about his childhood.

She hadn't meant to, but he was angry again. It seemed nothing was going right lately. Nothing at all.

She held her hand up to her head that was now absolutely killing her now. She groaned inwardly.

My head is frickin' killing me...but I'm not moody am I? Well he wants to be cold with me? I'll be cold with him, two can play that game.

Sawyer looked up at her curiously, from his resting spot in the shade.

"You okay?" he asked softly

She was going to answer rationally just before another rush of pain shot through her head again. She suddenly clutched her head in pain, her eyes shut tightly. She felt dizzy.

"Fine" she snapped with gritted teeth not bothering to look at him.

"No you're not" he said simply, almost sympathetically and he shifted over so he was nearer to her. She opened her eyes to see some of the anger was gone from his face.

"Whats wrong? the head wound?" he asked. He hated to admit it, but he was slightly worried about it.

Kates head was still throbbing and she didn't have time for his questions.

I can't deal with this now. I feel terrible, and he keeps asking bloody questions

"I SAID-I'M FINE" she snarled in his general direction as she sat holding her head. He looked up at her surprised before his eyes flashed dangerously at her.

"Fine, okay, whatever. Just asking FRECKLES" he huffed, putting particular emphasis on the word freckles. He laughed dryly and she looked up at him.

"How long are we gonna be here? We have no idea where we are going" he laughed again sarcastically.

"What!" Kate asked her eyes wide. "I thought you KNEW where we were going"

"Me!" he said laughing. "What gave you THAT idea? I never told you so, besides aren't you the tracker?" he picked up the nearest twig and snapped it and chucked it away sourly.

"What the-? How was I meant to know?" Kate snarled at him.

He just looked up at her and smirked annoyingly. He was really angry and she knew it but so was she now.

Who does he THINK he is? He's just been running through the jungle with no idea where he is going and he thought I knew? It's suddenly MY fault as I'm the "tracker?" ooohhh I could kill him. She thought angrily and she glared at him.

"Well don't have a go at me sweetheart. I'm just trying to get us home" he spat at her nastily, his eyes showing daggers.

She stood up and looked down on him straight in the eyes. What she wouldn't give to wipe that look off his face at the moment. He glared at her from where he was sitting and dug his boots into the mud angrily, leaning his head up against the rock.

"Well, It would be good if you ANY idea where you were going" she retorted before he stood up in front of her..

"It's not MY fault that were stuck inthe middle of damn NOWHERE!" he yelled angrily at her,

"So it's MINE?" she shouted, her hands on her hips, looking at him as if he was mad.

"Well if YOU hadn't run off with Jack and got kidnapped, I wouldn't have had to come get you would I? Besides, instead of moaning you might try to HELP. I mean all you've done is get in my way" he sneered at her.

"What is the matter with you?" she yelled hoarsely at him and she could feel the tears coming but she blinked them back. There was no way in hell that she wanted him to see her crying.

"It's MY fault now? Im sorry Sawyer but I didn't mean to get kidnapped, besides we all know the only reason that you came and got me is because of what you did to ME! I didn't tell anyone about YOUR past but you told everyone about MINE!"

The tears started running down her cheeks freely now and she silently cursed herself for letting him see. His face softened and she knew that he had realized that what he had said was wrong. He looked at her guiltily before he took her arm and said softly

"Kate I..."

"Don't bother!" she sobbed before wrenching her arm out of his grasp andwalking further into the jungle.

"Kate!" he yelled desperately after her his face distraught. Yet she just looked over her shoulder and yelled back at him

"I'll only get in YOUR way"

Okay so that sucked, but i thought i'd update anyway. PLEASE R&R
