The Car Ride back to the house was quite and serene.
Mainly because Both Ina And Gura Where Both were sleeping the entire way.
I even caught myself dozing off a few times throughout the ride.
The stress of nearly losing Gura is much harder on my body than the actual physical pain and work was.
Every so often i feel Gura'ss grasp on my hand tighten slightly as she fades through the levels of consciousness.
When we pull in the driveway.Ashley looks back at Gura grasping my hand tightly while sound asleep.
She smiles and turns her head back toward the road.

Hunter:I know i really tell you this,Ashley...
Hunter:But thank you everything earlier...

Ashley:Don't mention it,Kid.

Kid...
She hasn't called me that in years.
Whenever she did,she was usually in an emotional mood or state.
Or as Ashley would joke around with...she is on her period.
Eventually we make it to house i wake The 2 girls and they head inside with me and ashley behind them.
I wave Ashley as she gets back into her car and drive away..
i go back inside and notice that Gura seems too tired to even walk,so i try my best to help her up the stairs and into my bed.

After placing the blanket over her,i turn around and start to walk out of the room.
But Gura calls out my name,stopping me in my tracks.

Gura:Hunter....

Hunter:Hm?,What is it,Gura?

Gura:Is it...too much to ask if you could sleep with me tonight?
Gura:I kind of...don't want to be alone.

Hunter:...Sure.
Hunter:Give me just a second to turn off the lights downstairs.

Gura:Okay.

After turning off all the lights and and checking on the other girls,closing and locking all exits and windows.
i return back into my room.
Gura is swaddled up in the blanket waititng for me.
i slide next to her in bed and immediately she puts her arms around me and starts to cuddle.

Hunter:E-Eh?

Gura:You're so warm...Hehe!~

Hunter:....Weirdo.....

I wrap my good arm around her and let her nuzzle into my chest.
After almost a minute,I hear gentle coos coming from her.
Wow,she must be really tired to fall asleep that fast.
Or.....Really comfortable.
And to be honest....This is actually something i enjoy right here.
I need rest...
and i can finally do that....
....
....
what's that noise?....
My eyes are closed but my eyes are very much open.I swear to god i heard a noise.
I look at Gura and she wimpering i then hug her tightly..
Her face squints for a second but then it eases back into a neutral face of someone in a peaceful rest.

Hunter:Lucky Girl...
Hunter:I don't think i could fall asleep that easily after all that has happened.

Slowly getting under the blanket with Gura,i lie my head down onto my pillow and close my eyes.
