Sakura was resting in her quarters, she thought it was better if she stayed there instead of Setg'in quarters, since he was hunting and they weren't officially mates. She wondered if he had arrived already. 'I miss him already…' she thought. Sure she had been longer without seeing him but in that time he wasn't hunting and was safe on the ship, besides she was mad at him in that time. She closed her eyes for a minute escaping to her dream world, a world where her family was still alive. She missed her sister's smile, her mother's warmth and her father's embrace. Sakura wondered what they would think about Setg'in. A tear escape her eyes followed by another one. A nostalgic moment interrupted by a knock on her door.

"Come in." She said getting up and wiping away her tears.

Kant'ra entered, behind her was N'ritja. Normally Kant'ra visited Sakura alone, she was confused about N'ritja. She'd never seen her before.

"Gkaun'yte." Sakura said bowing.

"Gkaun'yte, my dear." Kant'ra said approaching her to caressed her face making her smile. "I brought someone that would like to meet you." She said putting her arm down. Sakura looked at the other Yautja female.

"Gkaun'yte, Sakura." N'ritja said coming from behind Kant'ra. Sakura bowed and smiled at her, still confused why she wanted to meet her. N'ritja was curious about this human; if Kant'ra cared for her then she was worth to meet.

"N'ritja is Pa'ya's mate." Kant'ra explained.

"Oh. Nice to meet you, N'ritja." Sakura said at her smiling.

"You will spend the day with us my dear." Kant'ra said. Sakura nodded, she liked that idea.

On Setg'in's ship:

Setg'in was almost arriving to the Xenomorphs planet. Normally Yautjas avoided this planet; it was a dangerous and hostile place, only the fittest could survive here. On the way he thought about his Sakura and how he never felt like this with any other female, now he understood the strange feeling he had when he first met her, it was their destiny to be together. He couldn't wait to be with her again but now he had to concentrate on his hunt. Setg'in just hoped that no other male started to court his beloved Sakura while he was out hunting.

He finally landed on the planet after activating the cloak device and scamming the planet for a more safe area to land. For Setg'in killing fifty Xenomorphs wasn't a problem, the problem was this planet was infested with thousands of sneaky aliens. He thought it was best if he stayed close to a hive and kill the ones that were separated from the rest and try not to draw unnecessary attention.

He set some traps around his hiding place just to be sure that none of the Xenomorphs tried to sneak on him. Setg'in was a hunter that relied not only in his strength but also in his senses; he was very tactical and usually planed strategies to capture his prey. He was a furtive hunter. That's why he was one of the bests, before jumping into action he used his head first. Unless he was with Sakura, the only strategy he could think in that case was the best way to get his hands on her. That's why Za'zin sent him on this hunt, not only because he mated with an outsider but because he wanted to be sure that this hunter still stayed one of the best.

Setg'in scammed the surrounding place with his mask looking for his prey; there were some outside the hive. He needed to lure them closer to take them out. 'This is going to be a long day.' He thought.

On the mother ship Sakura was with Kant'ra and N'ritja on the common room of the female's quarters. A place full of pillows, sofas and windows with females divided into groups. Sakura loved this place.

"How are you feeling Sakura?" Kant'ra asked to Sakura.

"I'm fine Elder Kant'ra." Sakura answered smiling, unaware that Kant'ra knew what happen between her and Setg'in, Za'zin had told her.

"Are you sure?" Kant'ra gave her a suspicious look and Sakura nodded at her smiling. "You never stop to amaze me. You handled the mating better than I thought." Kant'ra chuckled. Sakura's face turned bright red immediately while N'ritja's jaw dropped. She had heard rumors about Setg'in being interest in the human but never thought they were real. Sakura looked away blushing; she didn't know what to say. 'Does everyone need to know? Geez! Just put a big sign out there saying "Sakura and Setg'in mated"!' Sakura screamed in her thoughts.

"That's incredible! I never thought that could be possible." N'ritja said looking at Sakura's small body.

"Oh it is. Our Sakura is a strong female and she chosen a good mate." Kant'ra said patting Sakura's leg. Kant'ra was sit between the two females. Before coming pick up Sakura, Kant'ra meet with Nan'ku, he assured her that Sakura was fine, she was just a little sore and that he gave her a lotion to help her out.

"Yes, Setg'in is an Elite hunter. I'm sure he would take good care of you." N'ritja said overjoyed. Sakura made a soft smile at her thinking that Setg'in was already taking good care of her.

"But don't be reckless my dear. You still need to complete your chiva." Kant'ra already felt like she was one of them, but the code of honor had to be followed. Sakura lower her head looking at the dark grey floor, her moment of truth was closer.

"I'm sure you can do it, Sakura." N'ritja said clicking her mandibles. She was starting to like the human, a future female hunter that's how she saw Sakura. There were some rare females in the clan that prefer to be hunters instead of breeders, others started as hunters but end up as breeders, N'ritja thought that this was going to happen to Sakura.

"Thank you." Sakura said smiling at her thinking that N'ritja was the most beautiful Yautja female she ever saw.

The three of them spend the rest of the day together. Sakura and N'ritja learn more about each other, making Kant'ra happy and hoping that they could become close friends, since they were the females that she shared a special and close relationship, which made some other females jealous, not of N'ritja since she was the mate of one of her sons but of Sakura.

On the Xenomorph's planet Setg'in was killing two more Xenomorphs one with the Plasma Caster and the other one with his spear. 'Thirty one to go. This is going better than I thought.' Setg'in thought. He decided to go to his ship and take some rest, the next day he would try to end his hunt. He placed his trophies on the wall were he keep the others. He secure the ship and sit on the chair in the control panel and closed his eyes, the image of Sakura's face quickly appear on his mind. It was like he could smell her scent just by thinking her and made him relax.

On the mother ship Sakura said her farewells to N'ritja and Kant'ra and made her way to her quarters, it was already late. On the way she saw a male Yautja sneak out of a female room. 'Somebody was looking for some fun.' She thought chuckling. Sakura tried to adjust her vision to see who could possibly be. 'Wait! I know him.' She thought looking at his brownish body, dark cream and black patterns and armor.

"Halk'rath!" She said out loud without realizing it. She quickly placed her hand on her mouth. He turned around to the direction of the familiar voice.

"Oh, Sakura…" He said in a cold tone.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shout." She said approaching him. He just emitted some sort of growl and turned his back on her to keep walking. 'I guess his still mad because I chose Setg'in…' she thought. "Look Halk'rath I know you're mad b…" She said trying to explain.

"You chose wisely." He growled softly stopping not turning to face her. He started walking again and Sakura run to him trying to catch him.

"Like I was going to say… That doesn't mean we can't be friends, right?" Sakura said. He stopped making Sakura almost bump into him.

"Friends?" He said clicking his mandibles and looking at her. If he had eyebrows he would raise one.

"Yes, unless you don't want it." She said. Sakura didn't want to force anything.

"I never had a female friend…" He said like he was thinking to himself. Sakura sighed thinking it was hopeless. "But I make a exception just for you." He said chuckling. Halk'rath never had a female as a friend he only saw the females as something were he could relieve himself and have pleasure, although he felt like Sakura was different.

"So you're not mad anymore?" She asked unsure of his reaction.

"Don't worry about it, friend." He said chuckling giving her a soft punch on the upper arm. It didn't hurt Sakura but made her lose the balance a little. She smile at him, he knew this was a sign of happiness. "Come. I'll escort you to you're quarters." He said making a sign for her to walk.

Halk'rath escort Sakura to her quarters and they said they're farewells. She quickly got ready for bed. Sakura closed her eyes and thought about Setg'in. 'I hope you're ok.' The last thing she thought before falling asleep, that night she dream about him and her family, they were all together laughing and happy.

In the morning she woke up, took a shower, not forgetting her lotion, and ate her breakfast that a servant left for her while she was taking a shower. 'What I'm going to do today? Hum… Definitely practice.' She thought. She changed her female clothes to her armor.

She made her way to the training room, on the way she stopped on the weaponry room to get her gear. When she walked in the training room she immediately spotted Hult'ah and Bak'uub training together under Thei'de's watchful supervision.

"Gkaun'yte, everyone." She said approaching them. Thei'de looked at her surprised.

"Sakura!" Hult'ah said always hyper and cheerful.

"Gkaun'yte." Bak'uub greeted politely as always.

"Can I train with my pack?" Sakura asked looking ate her pack then to Thei'de. She didn't know if she was allowed to train without Setg'in presence, but she wanted to train and become a strong hunter, pass her chiva was her main goal.

"You're already ready to train?" Thei'de asked still surprised.

"Of course I am. Can I?" She said with puppy eyes.

"Can she?" Hult'ah asked trying to mimic her. Sakura was trying not to loose her posture and laugh, she thought he looked cute, Bak'uub did a soft chuckle. Hult'ah didn't knew why she couldn't train before neither do Bak'uub, but they were happy to have their friend ready for action again.

"Alright." Thei'de sighed. "In Setg'in's absence I'm the one responsible for you anyway." He chuckled. In the past this assignment would probably made him want to kill the human, but since Sakura was almost part of the clan and she amused, it didn't bother him. Besides his best friend made him promise that he would take care of her when he wasn't around or in case something bad happened to him.

Sakura made a huge smile, while Bak'uub and Hult'ah growled with delight. The now completed pack started the training.

On the Xenomorph planet Setg'in was preparing to continue his hunt. He left the ship and got back to the hiding place. He checked the place with his mask and watched the hive, the Xenomorphs look agitated, Setg'in knew his presence must be detected yesterday and this would difficult his task. Now he couldn't let his guard down. 'I guess I have to change my strategy.' He decided to wait a little to give them some time to calm down and reduce their attention, so he waited patiently.

After a few hours they seem calmer. He knew Xenomorphs were very clever creatures, they probably sent some to inspect the surrounding area, so he decided to change his 'camp' to the east of the hive. There he sent some new traps just to be sure. Setg'in wanted to finish his hunt on the second day so he could get back to the mother ship the next day, he couldn't wait to see his beloved Sakura again just the thought of her made him gain strength to face every Xenomorph on the planet but for now he had to stay focus. But in that moment of distraction he didn't saw a Xenomorph approaching from a branch above…
