K'xug stood beside Hana, observing her silently praying to herself. His hand started to itch, as if wanting to take away her worries and he placed his hand on her head.
Hana opened her eyes, glancing up to him and she raised her hand, gingerly placing it on his.
"K'xug."
He looked at her, a questioning look in his heterochromia eyes.
"I want to get stronger," Hana squeezed his hand, bringing it down from her head. "More and more stronger."
K'xug smiled.
The Hana before him was different from what she was in the past, where she depended on Xue and K'xug just because they were the strongest fighters around.
"So that I won't pull anyone down with me any longer."
K'xug nodded his head. An idea struck his mind and he pulled Hana towards him with their entwined hands.
Hana gasped, falling into his embrace.
He caught her smoothly with his other arm.
She recoiled back in alarm, looking up at K'xug.
