They walked for the whole day, trying to think of places Rose and Kira would be. Of course, Kira was probably kicking a tree somewhere, getting used to her +Anima again. After all, it took her forever to get used to it the first time she had it. Rose was probably looking for her little brother, who she told to run away before she had been taken to slavery. He reluctantly obeyed her and ran off somewhere. Cooro and Senri were walking in the back, looking for the two girls while Husky and Nana stayed in front.
"We'll carry on, we'll carry on…" Nana quietly sang the words, grabbing Husky's attention. She blushed and looked back up with a sheepish smile. "Sorry, it's what I did to keep myself from crying during slavery."
"It's fine, you can sing if you want." Husky shrugged and began looking ahead again.
"Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me, and other times I feel like I should go." Nana smiled, starting to sing again. "Your misery and hate will kill us all. So paint it black and take it back. Let's shout out loud and clear, to finally be men and hear the call. We'll carry on, we'll carry on."
"Nana, is that the song you heard in that one place we got some food at?" Cooro ran up to her with a goofy grin plastered on his face. She was baffled. They'd been in so many places before, she couldn't keep track.
She giggled, deciding it'd be ok to just say she remembered it from there. "Yea, Cooro,"
"I love that song!" he exclaimed, throwing his arms in the air.
"Name one person who doesn't?" she smirked at him.
"Sir Grumpy over there might not." Cooro jabbed his thumb in Husky's direction.
"I'm sure Husky likes the song." Nana smiled.
"I think I even remember what it's called." Husky looked at the sky with open mouth, letting Nana and Cooro know he was thinking. "Welcome to the Black Parade, right?"
"Yea," Nana nodded with a smile.
Cooro nodded and talked to them for a few more minutes before going back to Senri, searching for Kira. Nana stopped her singing. Instead she was smiling, looking at the sky for some reason. Husky was surprised she stopped. She never stopped! Especially in her sleep. What was that song he remembered her singing the past night? Inseparable is what he thought the song was.
"I promise it will never be dark. I know…we're inseparable." Husky found himself humming the words out, one after another. The song took Nana out of dream land and jerked her into reality in an instant.
"You know that song," she raised a brow.
"You were singing it in your sleep last night." he explained.
"Did I keep you up," she asked apologetically.
"Nah," he shook his head. "You do that every night."
"Oh," she nodded and looked back at the sky. "I just like to sing is all."
"You're good at it." Husky whispered with a small smile, hoping she didn't hear.
"Huh," her eyes widened and looked at him.
"What? I didn't say anything!" he defended himself.
"Ok," Nana raised a brow and continued walking.
He sighed in relief through his nose and began walking again. Before they knew it, all of them heard a little sobbing from behind a bush. Senri's eyes widened, knowing who it was in an instant. He opened the bushes up, spreading each leaf apart, and looked down to see a little boy. He looked up at Senri lovingly and pounced on him, giving him a big hug. Senri let the boy wrap his arms around his neck and he slowly, carefully picked him up along with himself.
"Pinion," Cooro asked as Senri nodded. "Rose must be looking for him, then."
They all nodded and Senri decided to take Pinion with him as they searched for Kira and Rose. As if on cue, someone pounced Cooro at random. She pulled herself off and looked at him. His scared frown turned into a giant grin. The girl shared the same look as he did and he pulled the girl into a big hug.
"Kira," Cooro exclaimed.
"Thank goodness I found you!" Kira beamed. "I missed you guys so much."
"Yea, we missed you too." Husky cut his eyes. "Can we find Rose now?"
"She's on the cliff," Kira said, grabbing Cooro's hand. "I'll show you."
Husky smirked at Cooro then at Nana, who caught what he was saying and began to giggle. He shrugged it off and walked after Cooro and Kira. Senri carried Pinion piggyback style as they rushed toward Rose. Nana was about to run, but then noticed Husky's lack ecstasy. She sighed and grabbed his hand, beginning to run with him.
"Come on, silly," she giggled.
His eyes widened as he was taken away by Nana. They caught up with their friends and saw Rose. Pinion was set down gingerly by Senri and he jumped into Rose's arms. They both thanked Senri a million times and he nodded slowly. Husky told them he felt it was safest if they all stayed in a group for a day and they agreed. After that, they all decided to go back to the clearing that Cooro and the others had been in earlier. Cooro decided it'd be fun to race Kira back and she agreed. Her jackrabbit legs and ears popped out as did his wings and they were off.
"Those two…" Husky sighed. "They better not hurt themselves."
"They won't," Nana giggled. "They just like each other is all."
"How can you tell?" Husky raised a brow.
"It's extremely obvious, Husky." Rose smirked.
"It is," he asked.
"Yea," Rose said in a know-it-all way. "They're always together when we meet up with Kira and they tell each other everything. It's not that hard to miss."
"Oh," Husky watched the two scamper off.
The whole time back, Pinion, Rose and Senri began talking while Husky and Nana lingered in the rear. Husky stole a few glances at Nana as she hummed some music on and on. He thought abut what Rose was saying. Cooro and Kira were like two peas in a pod. Neither really liked to think so much, but they didn't like being called stupid, they were always being scolded and were as hyper and energetic as could be. Apparently opposites sometimes don't attract. Did that mean he and Nana would never happen? Just thinking that thought made him blush. Nana noticed this and put a hand on his head. His eyes widened as he turned to face her.
"Husky, do you feel ok?" she asked worriedly.
"Y-Yea, you girl," he pushed her hand away. "It's just a little hot out."
"Oh, ok," she nodded, but disbelieved his explanation.

When they got back at night, Pinion was sitting in Nana's lap, head placed underneath her chin. He wanted either a song or a bed time story after waking up while everyone else fell asleep. Husky and Nana were the only ones where awake and Husky told him he didn't know any stories and had a bad singing voice. Pinion then turned to plan B, which was Nana Alba. She gladly accepted his request and he fell asleep in no time just by hearing "This Little Gospel Light of Mine" for five minutes. She had such a beautiful voice. Husky was lying on the side of his body with his head resting in his hand, being held by a plopped elbow. (A/N: The way he was lying down when Nana was thinking he was a girl.) He was facing Nana and the sleeping child while he sat in the eleven-year-old girl's lap. She rocked back and forth a little bit, making them look like a perfect family picture all together.
"He's so cute." Nana whispered to Husky.
"Sure," Husky nodded, a smile still planted on his face.
"Hey Husky," Nana looked over at him as his eyes shot up to lock with hers.
"Yea," he asked.
"What do you think my kid would look like?" she inquired.
"Well…" he began blushing. "Who do you think your husband would be?"
"I don't know?" she shrugged, letting some blood rush to her cheeks. "What if…you and I…had a baby?"
"Um…" he began sitting up straight and moved closer to her. "I don't know,"
This time, Nana looked up at him dazedly and he returned the look. He sat in front of her now, neither of them knowing who moved. All they knew was that each was in front of the other and Pinion was curled up, asleep on Nana's sleeping bag.
"Husky…" Nana whispered. "Do me a favor."
"Yea," Husky asked.
"Pinch me, but not hard." she ordered.
"O-Ok," he stuttered and his hand reached out to her shoulder, slightly pinching it.
"So, I'm not dreaming this?" she asked.
"I hope not," he shook his head.
They stayed in that position for what seemed like hours, but only a few moments. Nothing happened because Pinion woke up again and crawled into Nana's lap. She sang a song for him as Husky gave up. Nothing happened, nothing was going to happen. He pet Pinion's hair, trying to speed things up. It actually did, but they weren't in their same position, they just talked about the baby subject again.
"If we had a baby?" Husky asked.
"Mhm," she blushed, diverting her attention to the ground. Husky inwardly smirked, but kept a straight face on the outside.
"You really want to know what I think?" he asked.
"Yea," she nodded slowly with a short smile.
"Well," he looked at the beautiful night sky, getting an idea. "Nana, look at those six stars, right next to the moon."
"Ok," she lifted her head and saw six, gorgeous, shimmering stars brightening the sky in all their glory. "I see them,"
"If we had a kid, they'd be more beautiful than those six stars all together." he gave a small smile.
"R-Really," she stuttered and turned to him as blood filled her face.
"Mhm," he nodded and smiled brightly at her before covering himself with a blanket. "I'm going to sleep. Night Nana,"
"Night Husky," she smiled sweetly after putting Pinion under Rose's blanket and curling up under her own.
