Kaname and Yura have been travelling in the mountain for hours without any rest
‘Kaname doesn't even look a bit tired and here I am, ready to fall down any minute now’ Yura thought to herself
‘Stay strong Yura!, we should not become a burden’ she thought as she tried to encourage herself
"Let's rest here for a bit" Kaname stated
Yura immediately got down from the horse and drank a lot of water
Kaname just sat down and lay his back on a tree
Yura took a step closer to Kaname and sat down while facing him
"Here drink some water, I know that it will be a long journey so I packed a bottle of water and some fruits in case you need some" Yura stated as she handed him the bottle
"Don't you need it more?, I have a very high endurance but you on the other hand look like you'll fall from the horse any second" Kaname stated
Yura looked down as embarrassment flashed on her face
‘I should be helping him instead he is the one looking out for me’ Yura thought
"I'm sorry" Yura uttered
‘Is she going to cry?’ Kaname thought
Kaname cleared his throat as he said "It's alright, why did you decide to come with me anyway when little girls like you can get easily killed here?"
Yura looked up and met the gaze of Kaname
"I wanted to support Kaname but it looks like I have to try my very best if I wanted to be of help to a strong man like you" Yura stated
Yura smiled and handed the bottle of water again as she said "So please have a drink because no matter how strong you are, you are still a human"
Kaname grabbed the bottle of water and took a drink on it
"Do you want to eat some fruits?" Yura asked expectantly
"If I say no, you'll just bother me again" Kaname stated
Yura lightly laughed as she handed him two apples
After a while, Kaname stood up as he said "Let's go"
Yura nodded her head and followed Kaname
Before Yura got on the horse, Kaname suddenly spoke
"Ride here on my horse" he stated
"Huh?" Yura uttered as she turn to look at him
"If you ride on your own, you might fall down" Kaname stated
Yura was nervous when he said that but she immediately calmed herself down fearing that Kaname might learn why she was nervous
They both ride on the same horse while Yura's horse was following behind them
‘I can hear the steady breathing of Kaname in my back, it's a good decision that I came along after all’ Yura cheekily thought to herself
Just then, Kaname's voice woke Yura up from her trance
"Brace yourself, there are wolves eyeing us" he stated
Yura gazed ahead and found two wolves looking at them
Kaname swiftly got down from the horse and draws out his sword
"Stay here" Kaname stated
Kaname walked forward and the wolves immediately run towards him
