A familiar Arabian face and signature emerald eyes came into view as Jurie opened her eyes, feeling sincerely sore and weak. She groaned, shifting upwards. Her ribs protested and she moaned, holding herself up with her elbows.

"No." Rami burst out. "Lay back down! Please."

"Ugh..."

Jurie collapsed back onto the bed, staring blankly at the leafy roof of the hut. Her lips tingled and she brought her hand up to touch it. It felt as if someone had kissed them, or something had made contact with them.

It seemed that in the time that she had lost consciousness, her cousin, Sweden, Rami and the other guy had managed to scrape a victory over the army.

Foolish soldiers. She thought. Even more foolish than Rami.

Her eyes flickered to Rami again, and she took in the bandages that wrapped the span of his lean, tanned body, trying to tear her eyes from his rather...ahem...toned torso. Whoever had bandaged him was very good, almost as good as her mother.

Their eyes met and the Arabian Knight held his breath, hoping that she hadn't been conscious when he had unwittingly kissed her. Her eyes fluttered closed, her breathing slow and steady. Rami reached out his hand and gently pushed away Jurie's extra hair before turning to leave the hut, pulling the door shut behind him.

It was in the late afternoon when she woke again, but this time Takashi hovered above her, his face creased in worry.

"Jurie!" He cried. "Thank gosh your awake!"

He dropped down onto her bed and took her hand into his. Jurie smiled weakly, pushing herself up onto her elbows.

"Aunt is going to kill me!"

"We- we should go." She mumbled.

In that moment Sweden peered in and made his way over to them with a native lady following after him. Her black hair was braided with beads and her dark skin was painted with a traditional tribal pattern. The lady padded over, placing her cool palm on Jurie's forehead and nodded.

Sweden and Takashi moved to help Jurie sit up before Takashi picked her up bridle style and the four of them walked out of the hut, into the circle of tribal members. In the middle sat Rami wrapped in bandages his body glowing in the firelight and another bulkier man that Jurie vaguely remembered seeing. Standing up as soon as he saw Jurie, Rami moved forward, eyes raking over her as if checking to see if she was okay.

~~~~~

He watched her slip out of Takashi's grasp as she saw him.

Thank Allah she was all right. When he finally reached her he pulled Jurie into a bone-crushing hug. He could feel her tense up at first but then slowly he felt her arms snake around him and her head resting against his chest.

In his arms she felt safe. There was this strange sensation that filled them both. Something that made their hearts beat faster. Something that made them feel complete. Both wanted to stay in that moment forever. But nothing lasts forever. After quite a long time they pulled away. The corners of her lips tugged upwards, but as soon as Rami smiled back in his goofy (or as Jurie thought, creepy) way, her smile became a grin. Making her lovely features even more lovely.

Both of them wanted to say something but couldn't find the words. Finally, Rami choked out.

"Be careful, I won't always be there to save you." Then he mentally slapped himself. Great way to ruin the moment you fool.

But instead of being offended Jurie laughed it off. She must be too tired to argue with him. But in reality his presence cheered her up. "Don't worry Rami trust me I know how to look after myself."

Rami sighed in relief and grinned again. "We'll never see each other again."

"Don't be too sure of that. I still have to return your clothes."

Suddenly Rami became very self-conscious of his bare torso. But then he winked at her and said smiling "I won't mind if you do it now...if you know what I mean."

Jurie frowned. But then slapped his shoulder jokingly, it must have been harder than she thought because that was when he winced and started swearing.

"Geez woman, I got shot there. Have some respect for the injured."

"Sorry..."

"No I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that...considering what happened..." he mumbled apparently having misjudged her slap.

Jurie shuddered. To be perfectly honest she hadn't even thought of that. "No don't worry...it was actually kind of refreshing...after all I know you find me irresistible" his arrogance was rubbing off on her, she needed to control it.

Rami laughed. "You sure about that?"

"Absolutely positive, there must be a reason why you're looking at me all the time," She confirmed. At this Rami turned red and rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment.

How the f*ck did she know? I swear to Allah I was being secretive about it. Jurie couldn't help but think how adorable he looked.

In her eyes though the statement wasn't exactly true. She'd only seen him looking at her when he was concerned or something, but it was a refreshing sight to see him, a tall masculine person like him, blushing like a little schoolgirl.

"Jurie we need to go now." Called out Takashi. Rami found it rather surprising that Takashi hadn't killed him yet; usually that was the protocol for two warring families. Especially since he had 'violated' Jurie's personal space many times. Shouldn't that get Takashi angry to enough to kill him? Takashi probably still felt indebted to Rami.

And Rami hated that. When you're indebted to your enemy it complicates everything. His whole world flipped upside down when Jurie saved his life back in England. Everything was so simple before then.

But maybe something good may come out of this. After all everything Allah does he does for a reason.

"Good bye Fool."

"See you later Angel."

As they separated both minds wandered to that time when Jurie vehemently protested that she wasn't an Angel.
