Aoi flew forward and hugged Kana's cheek. She knew Kana never saw them as just tools and that she saw them as family. After giving Kana a hug, Aoi then flew over to Naru and hugged him tightly before pushing her lips against his causing the poor little death elemental to freeze. "Naru, I leave Kana to you. Protect her. I will be back as soon as I can."
"Huh? Yes..." Naru's mind was full of nothing but Aoi's soft lips that touched his.
Kana held back her laughter as she smiled at the two. "Aoi, I will see you when you get back. Be careful."
"I will!" Aoi waved before quickly flying off towards the north.
Kana and Naru watched as Aoi's little figure slowly disappeared into the darkness. "She will be okay. Aoi is strong."
"Mmm… Kana, we should head southwest. The thing I felt is in that direction somewhere." Naru's eyes never moved from the direction Aoi left in.
