"No matter what," Asuka whispered, her voice muffled in Alex's, "I'll prove you wrong, we'll get to Harmony. And you can come and join us then..."
Alex gave her a slight smile, patted her on the back of the head, and walked her gently to the door. "Perhaps..."
Koy and I followed them and waited for them to say their goodbyes a few feet from the door. After hearing her tell him she wanted to prove him wrong, I was suddenly invigorated; I was anxius to get back with the group and to keep going.
Asuka, I was going to make sure you can prove him wrong. Harmony was so many's last hope at true happiness, and I wanted nothing more than to help them reach that last goal, the final stretch.
I wondered where we were going to go now. What was our next clue that would send us in the right direction?
"R-ready?" Asuka asked, breaking my train of thoughts. There were still tears in her eyes from the sad goodbye, which was understandable. I mean, she just met her brother whom she hadn't seen in years, and had probably in the very pit of her stomach had sort of assumed wasn't coming back. And now, so soon after meeting him, she had to leave him behind.
I nodded, "Ya."
Asuka and I changed into our animal forms and followed Koy back to the group. Everyone was expecting us, and they all seemed a little irritated that we had run off in the first place without sayig a word to them.
I turned to Koy, "Thanks for going with me."
He nodded and left me to explain everything to everyone, which was fine. I was just glad Asuka was safe and ok.
