Luka lurched as Kaito hacked noisily on her lap, finally waking. For some reason, Luka felt an odd sense of relief.

What are you doing with yourself, Luka? You can't be caring for him already, can you?

As Kaito pleaded with her to return to "camp", she milled around the words he had said to her in her mind, eyes narrowing with focus.

The baka said he didn't kill master, so maybe he's a good guy. I just have to watch out for the others. And besides, if I go back with him, it's safer than standing out here in the jungle. Though... why is he confessing his feelings so soon to me? Does he honestly think I'm ready for that?

Luka put her head in her hands and groaned. Stepping gracefully to her feet, she gently pushed Kaito's hand away.

"I-I don't need help!" she blurted a little louder than she had meant to. Standing over Kaito, she lifted up his chin with her slender fingers so that he would stare into her eyes.

"Look, I'll go with you. But if you or any of your friends lays a single hand on me, I'll... I'll..." Luka stumbled for an appropriate punishment, blushing.

"I'll think of something!" she snapped. With a loud harrumph, she grabbed Kaito's hand and started to make her way out of the jungle.
