Hello again. Thanks for all those reviews. Hope you enjoy.

They reached the third company in two days; resting for only short amounts of time. Dom ordered his men to search the bodies for anyone alive and got Neal to set up a makeshift infirmary. He looked for Kel alone. He found her glaive covered in black blood from her foes. Picking it up her continued his search. Noticing a mass of brown hair underneath a body of a Spidren he ran over to it. Heaving the body out of the way he found Kel lying broken on the ground. Keeping back the tears he lifted her up and staggered over to Neal.

"It's her, Neal. Help me." He gasped as he set Kel down on the bed. Beside her there were a few other wounded but Kel looked the worse. Her hair was mattered with blood and there was a nasty gash along her thigh and arm. Neal pushed Dom out of the way and went to work healing her. Dom couldn't watch. He left the tent and went for a work leaving Kel in capable hands. What if she didn't wake up? She will never know his true feelings for her. Dom made his way over the creak just beyond the tress. I might as well leave forever now thought Dom, there is no way she would want me even now. He sat down on the rock and missed Neal running out of the infirmary saying that Kel had a good chance that she was going to make it.

Neal ran out of the tent, his eyes searching for Dom. "She's going to make it." He yelled, "She might pull through." He couldn't have been happier. Kel had been his best friend for so long it was hard to remember his life without her. Looking for Dom he found his cousin sitting on a rock looking depressed.

"There is a good chance Kel will make it." Neal said walking towards Dom. His cousin's head snapped up.

"Really!?" Dom knew Neal wouldn't joke about something like this but he still couldn't believe it. Kel had seemed so life less in his arms. Dom got up and went back to the tent with Neal trailing behind. Inside Dom looked at his friends. She was lying on her back her hair spread out on the pillow. She looked so helpless.

"How long before she wakes?" Dom asked Neal.

"Not sure. I'm going to send word to Raoul. I think he should know." Dom nodded. That was true. Raoul needed to know that his co-commander and ex-squire had a chance to make it.

It was a couple days later when Raoul turned up. Kel had yet to wake up and Neal was beginning to worry. He had done all he could for his friend but nothing seemed to work though her wounds were healing nicely. He would never say it aloud but he wished that Alanna was here with him. His former knight mistress had more experience on healing soldiers then he did. Hearing the horn calls for friends he went to greet the knight commander and to his delight and surprise a short red haired knight greeted him as well.

"Lady Alanna, you're here. Great my worst nightmare has come true." Alanna wasted no moment on her ex-squire she marched into the tent and began examining Kel. Raoul went to find Dom and much to Neal's surprise Nathan walked into the tent.

"What are you doing here?" asked Neal looking at Nathan in surprise.

"I'm here to see Kel of course. Surely Dom told you, we're together." He whispered the last part in Neal's ear. Alanna didn't hear she was too busy checking Kel.

"Fine. You can stay here but keep out of the way." Neal walked back to Kel and Alanna trying to ignore his cousin's stares. Alanna looked at her ex-squire.

"She will be fine. You have done a good job. Though I don't know when she will wake up. We can't move her yet." Neal nodded. He had feared as much. He let Alanna check the other patients. All were doing fine.

A week after Raoul and Alanna arrived Dom was sitting next to Kel. She had yet to awake from her coma and everyone feared the worst. Dom had tried talking to her but nothing worked. Seeing that he was alone, he whispered in Kel's ear.

"I love you Kel. Please wake up. I need you with me even if you stay with my brother. Please wake up. I am sorry." Dom bowed his head over Kel's hand. He regretted everything now. He regretted not telling her he loved her. He regretted yelling at her. But he did not regret meeting her. She was the best thing that had happened to him and she couldn't go now. She just couldn't. Kel stirred, shifting her head like she was trying to shake something off. She mumbled words Dom couldn't understand.

"Kel? Are you awake? Neal! Alanna!" Dom yelled. He sat holding Kel's hand talking to her, "Come on Kel wake up. You're nearly there."

Alanna and Neal both came at a run when they heard Dom calling. Bursting into the tent they found Dom holding Kel's hand and Kel shifting slightly; her eyes still closed.

"Neal, get me a cold wet cloth." Alanna ordered as she moved towards Kel. There was hope in her heart. If Kel was moving then there was a chance she might wake up fully. "Dom I need you to keep talking to her." Alanna used the wet cloth from Neal to mop Kel's brow.

"Wake up Kel. Wake up Kel." Dom murmured in Kel's ear. Kel moaned quietly. Her eyes fluttered open. Looking around she felt disorientated.

"Nathan? Alanna?" her voice was croaky. Neal handed her a cup of water. She drank greedily.

"It's okay. Kel just rest. You will be fine." Alanna checked her again with her magic but everything looked fine. She spelled Kel into a proper sleep. Alanna sat back pleased. To everyone else in the tent she said, "Kel will be fine. She is sleeping properly now which is very good." Dom let out his breath. He hadn't realised he had been holding it. It hurt that she thought he was Nathan but she was going to be just fine. He got up and went outside. Dom felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. The Lady Knight was going to make a full recovery. He couldn't be happier.

Nathan walked into the tent. It had been a day since Kel finally woke up and she was alright now. Sitting up in bed she was eating soup made by Alanna.

"Hey you." She smiled at him glad that he was here. Nathan went to sit on the chair next to her. Taking her hand he kissed it, his lips lingering longer than normal.

"So glad you are up. It's been painful watching you." He lowered the hand but didn't let go.

"I am so sorry, Nathan."

"Oh Kel. You shouldn't apologize. You had all of us worried. It's been two weeks since Dom and his squad found you. You've been out the whole time. We thought we had lost you. Don't do that every again alright?"

Kel smiled, "I'll try."

"Good." Nathan leaned over and pressed his lips to Kel's. Dom walked in at that moment.

Dom gasped.

Kel gasped.

Dom fled from the tent. Why should it up set you? He asked himself. You knew they were together so why make a big deal over it.

I've never seen them kiss, he argued with himself. He made his way to his rock. He sat down feeling annoyed with himself. Raoul watched Dom almost run from the tent and head into the forest. The big knight followed the young Sergeant.

"Dom, what is wrong? You looked like you saw something scary. Is Kel alright?" Raoul sat next to his friend.

"Yea she's fine. I'm fine." But Dom didn't look fine. He looked like he had been hurt badly.

"No you are not. Please tell me. I know about Kel and Nathan. Is that whats wrong? You don't want Kel with your brother." Raoul tried to figure out what was wrong but failed.

"Look I am please that Kel has got no brains that she would pick my dumb brother. It's fine with me. Why shouldn't it be?" It's nearly out,thought Raoul.

"You used to be great friends with Kel and now you tell her to leave you alone. That doesn't seem fine to me."

"Okay. I'm madly in love with Kel alright. I have been since I first met her. And now I just saw stupid brother kissing her. It is breaking my heart. Look there, I've said it. Happy?" Raoul was shocked. He hadn't expected this outcome of the situation. It had crossed his mind briefly but not enough to register. Dom flirted with almost any one it didn't seem different when he did it to Kel. But now he knew there was a deeper feeling.

"Oh. Have you told Kel?"

"What! No way. She's with Nathan for gods sake. She wouldn't want someone arsehole like me." Dom sank lower into his depression.

"How do you know? Yes Kel might be with Nathan but that doesn't mean she won't help you. Dom you need to talk to Kel. Sooner rather than later or you will live to regret you hadn't." Raoul got up and went back to the camp.

"I already do." muttered Dom. He knew his knight commander was right as usual but that didn't change a thing. Kel was still with Nathan and Dom was still alone in his love.

Kel was lying awake at night thinking about that afternoon. Dom had seen Nathan kiss her and he fled.

What did that mean?

Did he not want to interrupt him or did he actually feel something for her?

Why did men have to be so damn confusing?!

Kel couldn't believe that she had guy problems. It was something a court lady would have, not a lady Knight like Kel. The group had plans to ride tomorrow back to Corus but Kel didn't want to face Dom for the three day ride. She just hoped it wouldn't be awkward. Rolling over Kel made herself fall asleep so that she would be fit to ride the next day.

The ride back to Corus was uneventful. Kel and Dom avoided each other as much as they could. Neal tried to get them to talk but nothing helped. He knew that Dom loved Kel and that there was a possibility that Kel loved Dom as well. Neal really wanted to talk to his wife; she would know what was going on between the two. It was what Yuki was good at. Raoul also noticed the separation of the two and how Kel stayed a lot closer to Nathan than usual. He hopped that she would pick Dom over Nathan but from the look of things that didn't look like a happening thing. They would be perfect together thought Raoul; if only we could get Kel to break up with Nathan then everything might work. He rode in silence, thinking of some ways to get Kel to see the truth. He knew he would have to get Neal involved as well; something he was not to keen on. Neal could be a right down pain at times.

Well please review. Thanks again.
