The evening sky was beginning to get darker, and as the colors faded into a dark twilight, numerous stars began appearing.

Kevin sat with his friends and mate. Lilian leaned against his shoulder, and he’d wrapped an arm around her in return. Iris and Christine sat together. Christine was blushing, which might have been because the raven-haired beauty had wrapped the girl in her arms and tails. Kevin was honestly surprised the yuki-onna hadn’t exploded yet.

There’s steam coming out of her ears.

Christine noticed that he was looking at her. He sent her a smile, but it soon turned into a frown when she turned several shades of blue and looked away.

I really hope that’s not a sign that she still likes me.

Kevin really didn’t want to break the girl’s heart again. Christine was important to him. While he couldn’t measure her importance in comparison to others, the fact was that he’d gladly give his life for her if necessary. He liked her a lot. It hadn’t been a lie when he told her that if he and Christine had met first, he would have likely ended up dating her instead of Lilian.

“The rescue operation starts tomorrow, doesn’t it?” Christine broke the silence. She must have been uncomfortable.

“Yeah,” Kevin sighed. He glanced at Christine again. “Are you nervous?”

For a moment, Kevin thought Christine would regain some bluster and tell him something like, “Of course, I’m not scared, idiot!” or “Ha! Scared?! Why would I be scared?” When she didn’t, he actually became concerned.

“Christine?”

“I am a little scared,” Christine admitted. “It’s hard not to be. That fight Lilian and I got into with that tsuchigumo was frightening, and it was furious and fast and everything went by in a terrifying blur.” The tails coiled around her more tightly. Christine surprised him by snuggling into Iris’s embrace. “I don’t know how you three can do this without being afraid.”

“That’s not it at all.” Lilian lifted her head from Kevin’s shoulder. “You’ve got it all wrong. The truth is, I’m always scared whenever we’re in a fight. I’m scared that I’ll never see Kevin again, scared that I’ll die without fulfilling my dreams. I’m just plain scared.”

“You are?” Christine seemed surprised. “Then how do you deal with being afraid?”

“That fear is what keeps you alive in a fight,” Kevin took over for Lilian. He absently reached out and caressed his mate’s tails as he spoke, earning a soft, content moan from the redhead. “When you’re afraid, you’re more aware of your surroundings, more aware of what’s going on around you. The key to surviving when in a battle isn’t to not be afraid, but to use that fear to your advantage.”

“I don’t get it,” Christine admitted.

“Don’t worry, Christy,” Iris said. “I don’t get it either.”

“Who said you could call me ‘Christy’?” Christine wrinkled her nose.

“Aww!” Iris pulled the girl into her lap. “Don’t be like that. Come on, give me some love by letting me use the new pet name I came up with for you.
