Aoi bit her lip, she didn't want to lose him. She heard what he said, though. "I am stubborn." She agreed, smiling. She frowned, "One day Rex and then I go to the Celestial Clan and beg a cure. I haven't much left to give in exchange but I will give what I can to find a cure." She looked fiercely into his eyes, radiating love and concern as he softly kissed her. "We still have our list," She agreed, "And you better not leave before it is done." She didn't want to let him go. She watched him walk away, restraining herself from running after him and begging him to let her try to cure him. She stood there, rooted to the spot until he disappeared from sight. Finally noticing that she was drenched and freezing, she hurried home to formulate her own plan to save her friend.
