Just then Haru and four other arrived at the scene and aid them in thier and two other stayed to hold them off, while the other two escorted them to safety. As they arrived Ujie held and put Toph to be treated. As he put her and the attending medical assistant took over he fainted.

"Come on, he's a strong guy, he can make it. What important now is you should rest and heal. We can take a good care of him for you." said the nurse.
Katara put her hand on Toph shoulder motioning to trust her. She help bended water and heal her wounds more. Then she put Toph to rest, eventhough she did not want to. She just kept onasking and glanced to the teen who just save her life.
She woke up again. This time no one was around. By his side Ujie was still out. She did not know weather he was still fainting or simple asleep. She gather her strength and get up. She walked slowly to his bed and sat there.
She gazed upon him and gently stroke his hair back. Suddenly His eyelids started to wiggle. It followed by movement of his head and feet. continue by several cough.
Ujie opened his eyes. "You're awake!" Toph began.
"Glad you are okay" replied Ujie with a small smile.
"You are the one to talk" smirked Toph.

"Easy there. relax. You hurt pretty bad." She explained. Ujie just lay down and he held Toph hand.
She blushed and began. "Ujie, you saved me. You risked your life for me. You struggle.. " she couldnt continue, tears form on her eyes.
"Its okay. what would i do if you are hurt or gone in front of me. I wouldnt forgive myself if something terrible happened to you" (Ujie)
UJie straightened up. This time he mange to leaned on the back of the bed. Toph quickly and carefully embrace him. She whisper "Thanks" and give him a soft peck on his cheek.
Ujie blushed and return the embrace. he held her tight and replied "I love you." He return her kiss on her left cheek. They continue to enjoy in each others arm for several long minutes.

She couldnt take off her eyes to the boy resting on the bed next to her. She admire his bold, courage, his pure sincere heart and the look of him. She heave a small sigh and doze off with a smile carved on her face.
