Killua's P.O.V.
As we were on our way to NGL, I felt something moving while my eyes were closed. I slowly open them and my eyes adjusted to the dim light to see Tenshi-san in the corner.
She was trembling ever so slightly but her eyes were wide in fear. It's as if she saw hell and was petrified of the whole world.
I slowly, get up and went to her. Her body continued to shake until she flinched once my hand made contact onto her shoulder.
She grabbed my wrist that was placed on her shoulder whilst her eyes staring at me with terror as if I was about to hurt her. My eyebrows furrowed together as I saw her reaction. Her breath was raged and cold sweat was trickling down her pale skin.
"Tenshi-san, calm down. It's me, Killua." With this, her eyes flickered with realization as it slowly hit her. She lets out a sigh of relief and she put her hand on her face.
She rubbed them onto her face and it looked like she was trying to tell herself that it was all an illusion, a trick, which made me look at her in complete confusion. How can someone so powerful such as herself show such a vulnerable state like this?
"What's wrong? What happened?" I asked and she looked down at her hand for a moment before looking back up at me.
"I..fell asleep." She muttered which made my eyebrow rise in a questioning matter. What does sleeping get to do with your horrified state?
"What do you mean?" She sighed at my simple question but to her, it seemed at it was the most complicated thing to asnwer.
"My...nightmares. Heh! I never thought they would still haunt me even when I am the happiest which is when I am with my friends but I guess I was wrong. I could never run away from her, can I?" She states but then her last question seemed like she was asking herself. Who is 'her'?
"It's nothing Killua. It was my mistake. I fell asleep, believing that I wouldn't have another nightmare. I guess I was wrong. Please continue with your rest. I'll be patrolling for any danger." She said with her normal gentle voice that would make me swoon over her. Good thing I was strong enough to fight the urge to fight any request or command she makes.
"Are you sure?" I ask and she just nods in reply.
Silence them enveloped us as we just awkwardly sat face to face.
"Come here, Killua." I heard her say, breaking the ice. I gave her a questioning gaze but followed nonetheless.
I made my way over to her and she pats the space next to her. I make my way over to that specific area and sat. Tenshi-san then smiles as she also gestures to her lap which made my cheeks burn a crimson color, finally understanding what exactly she was telling me to do.
With a small argument about if I should or should not listen in my head, I finally give up and let this situation flow. I slowly lay my head down on her lap and stretch out my legs to get comfortable.
I was about to fall asleep until I felt her warm and gentle hand stroking through my hair. It gave me some sort of a serene feeling and I did not want her to stop.
I felt her let our a breath and her voice came out as a jingle once she began to sing.
In the span of time
We live out our lives.
Calmness sweeps us off our feet.
In the end, we are left with memories kept
Locked away, as they spiral down and fade away from me.
As for me, I'll sing the song of now
For that's all that I can do
Though my memories escape me
There's a part of my heart
Just as I have thought of you
I look up at her as she sung with a smile placed on my lips. Her voice is really something. So beautiful and melodic. Each lyrics she sings has a meaning which made my heart warm each time I hear more.

She finally sung as she continued humming the rest. As her soft hum surrounded the moving vehicle we all were on, I could feel the calmness in the air. This made my eyes droopy and it was hard for me to stay awake.
Last thing I saw was Tenshi-san with a soft smile on her face as she looks down at me with such a warm and innocent look. She whispered words between the lines of 'goodnight' but it was hazy as I fell into the dark abyss of sleep.
Tenshi's P.O.V.
"Goodnight, Killua. Please don't have a nightmare like me." I whispered to the cute Zoldyck as he his eyes slowly close. My smile then disappears like it was never there as I remember the dream.
Ryoko has been haunting me every time I sleep and I can't help but have these attacks once I awake every nightmare. This was the first that someone was there to comfort me. I am truly grateful for Killua but why do I have such an awful feeling.
Every time I look at these boys, I want to hold them tight as if I was going to leave them. That would never happen. I want to be here with them and make sure they don't get hurt. But why? Why do I have a bad feeling for what will come next?
How pathetic of me. I am getting worked up for nothing. I think Ryoko's insanity is finally rubbing on me.
I shake my head roughly to get the horrid thought out of my mind. My hand continues to stroke the boy's hair and I take in deep breaths to calm me down which actually worked.
"I may be physically strong but mentally? I'm like a coward who is scared of everything. I'm not strong. It's just an image. My strength was magically given to me. If I did not have such abilities, I would be nothing." I said bitterly with a half hearted laugh.
I stare blankly in front of me and stay in that position until the passengers and my two friends wake up.
