Shake the Soot
by SMYGO4EVA
It was easy for them to let go. Shoot was certain of that motion, more than anything else in his life.
He knew that Knuckle felt that way too. No matter how many times he wouldn't admit it, Shoot knew that Knuckle felt it as deeply and identically.
No matter how many items they searched for, no matter how many missions they survived, they had to let go, to shake away the soot of the past.
Shoot would gladly die for their cause, especially if it meant to save Knuckle. Knuckle would do the same, and he knew that. They had their loyalty, to their cause, to being Hunters, and to each other.
Until then, it was best to watch their backs, and to watch their steps from that point on.
