Disclaimer: Don't own them…

Kate had followed the small hallway down to a door opening outside. She was surprised to find no other doors on her way out, she'd intended to at least look for Walt but it appeared she had little choice.

She was surprised to find that when she exited the door, she was standing by a waterfall. Their waterfall. When she turned back around, the door was gone, replaced by an unbroken rock face. Kate put the gun into the back of her pants and sat down on a nearby stone.

"Miss me, Freckles?"

Kate head shot up to see Sawyer standing in the same place she'd been just moments before. Instinctively she moved her hand to her gun but when she saw he was unarmed, she resisted the temptation.

"What, you came back to get me?" Her sarcasm barely hid her bitterness.

Sawyer shook his head, "Thought you'd be long gone by now, back to Jackass and the rest of the camp."

Kate stood up and walked dangerously close to him. "Don't tell me you actually felt guilty."

Sawyer closed the distance between them and stared her down. "Only thing I got to be guilty about, is trusting you."

Kate tried to move her hand to her back slowly but Sawyer caught her and within seconds they were both facing each others guns.

"Damn you Sawyer," Kate tried to keep the hurt out of her voice. "I wanted to trust you, why the hell did you have to screw everything up."

Sawyer threw his hand in the air in frustration, "What the hell did I do? This wasn't my fault."

As Kate stared down the gun barrel at Sawyer, she suddenly realized, no matter what was promised to her, she wasn't sure she could do it. It wasn't just the fact that she didn't want anymore blood on her hands. She loved him. Even though he'd betrayed her, she still loved him. She felt tears well up in her eyes and her hand holding the gun, started to shake.

Sawyer saw the tears, saw the anguish. What right did she have to be upset? She was the one that hurt him. Sawyer shut his eyes for second. She was the only one that was able to hurt him. He'd spent his entire life making sure nobody got close. To the point of hurting others so they wouldn't get close. And godammit, he could even understand it, he had wanted her out of their. He would have gladly given them whatever they wanted so she could be let go. How could he be mad? She had done exactly what he wanted.

The big problem was, for Sawyer, that that woman, whoever she was, was right. Kate made him weak, left him open.

"You're trouble, Freckles." He wanted to tell her that life had been better without her but not he could believe that.

Kate tried to ignore whatever he was saying, generally it just made things worse. Why couldn't she have just fallen for Jack, things would have been so easy. They never would be standing across at gunpoint from each other. He would never have her constantly wondering whether he was going to hurt her. But was that even true?

Sawyer huffed disgustedly at himself and reluctantly threw his gun into the pool of water beside him. He walked closer to Kate, his eyes dangerous. "Do it. Finish it, Kate."

Tears poured down her face, he was standing so close, she could smell him, the sweat and blood. Finally, she decided, she wasn't going to kill someone else she loved and lowered the gun.

"I can't, " she whispered. "Even though I know you'll hurt me again, I can't." She threw the gun in the water too and tried to walk away, retain some of her dignity but he grabbed her arm.

His voice was barely above a whisper, he didn't even hide his pain, "What did I do to hurt you?"

Kate tried to keep back the tears but they burst out, despite her protest. "You left me there."

Sawyer scrunched his face in thought, "What are you taking about, you left first."

Kate's tears cleared and she looked up at him in conclusion. "I saw you, you walked past my room. You looked in and kept walking."

Sawyer finally dropped her arm, "Kate, I never walked past your cell when I left. They told me you left first."

Kate scoffed at him, "I wouldn't just leave you there."

Sawyer took a step back, putting his hands up in defense, "I didn't either."

"Did they send you out here to kill me, too?"

Sawyer moved back closer to her, finally understanding. "They said you were bad for me." Sawyer looked back at where the door had been, "There is some messed up shit going on."

Kate almost smiled, "So all that, all this, they just wanted us to get rid of each other? I think we should get out of here before they come after us." Kate started off towards camp.

"Kate?"

Kate turned and walked back towards Sawyer. Without any hesitance, he grabbed her and pulled her into a kiss. She relaxed instantly, wrapping her arms around his neck, returning his kiss with equal passion.

"Do I still remind you of your father?" His voice was filled with mischief.

Kate grabbed his face and kissed him. After a few minutes, she broke the kiss, a huge smile on her face, "No."

Sawyer grabbed her hand and they walked into the jungle together, completely unaware of the man and woman standing in the trees near the entrance to the waterfall, listening to their conversation.

"You know you're going to have to check that ego if you think relationships going to go anywhere," Kate said, the smile still on her face.

Sawyer looked down on her innocently as they walked deeper into the jungle, "What ego?"

The woman touched the man beside her, on the arm, "I told you."

The man smiled back at her, "I guess even bad people can learn to trust."

"Were they really bad, though? I think they were just a little lost. Nice job on making it look like he walked past her cell. You're getting good."

Santa smiled as they walked back in the opposite direction of the survivor's camp. "You got his mother down pat. You know if we keep working on this stuff, we could take this show to Vegas."

"We'd have to get off this damn island first."
