Chapter 110- Kaya Awakens

At the same time, Eva was dragging Kaya back through the storm. The blonde woman was sprawled on Eva's back, deep asleep.

"Are you enjoying my back, bitch?" She murmured with a grunt as she kept turning to look back. "Kai better be ok or I will never forgive you."

Although she knew that Kaya wasn't at fault but she still was very worried. She saw how strong that monster was and so even when she trusted Kai's abilities, she could only worry about the ifs.

'The weather is getting worse. I need to hurry.' Thinking so, she hurried her steps. A few minutes later, she reached the boat that was still safely floating on the boat.

Entering inside, she put Kaya on the wooden floor before she turned around to wait for Kai. Her face was dark and her heart was beating loudly.

Time ticked slowly as she waited anxiously. Her mind was trying to draw horrifying ideas but she kept her calm and didn't try to go back. As she was like that, her eyes drew to the sky above as she noticed a small dot that didn't look like a star or the moon.

"Hm?" Her eyes squinted instinctively. "What is that?" She murmured.

The dot kept getting bigger and bigger as the seconds passed. By the time Eva realized what it was, the dot had already reached the ground as it smashed into the ice.

*BOOOOOM*

The ground shook and the ice cracked around them.

*Crack*

"I didn't fall from such a height in a while," Kai murmured as he cracked his neck. The landing was slightly rougher than he anticipated but it didn't cause him any harm.

"Kai…?" Eva was confused as to why he came flying but seeing that he was safe and unscathed, her face relaxed as she jumped down and ran toward him.

"Are you ok? Did you beat that thing? Did it cause you any harm?" She asked as she hugged him before looking at his body. When she noticed that his clothes had holes in them, her face frowned. However, Kai's next words made her relax again.

"I'm fine. That thing is dead along with all the eggs in its nest."

"Nest? So it was indeed a spider?" She asked as she heaved a sigh of relief.

"Yes, it calls itself 'Spider Queen'. It was pretty powerful. Stronger than most Origin users out there." Kai said as the two started walking back to the boat.

"That strong? What is that thing even?"

"I don't know. But, from what it said before it weirdly self-destructed is that it's not from this world. But, it's not from another planet or another dimension either. I'm clueless as to where it came from." He said.

"..." Eva stayed silent, not knowing what to say.

It was simply that absurd. It was as if the two of them were thrown into a fantasy world out of nowhere.

'Is all of this ever real at this point? I don't want to even know where all of this could lead us if we try to dig further. It's too ridiculous.'

The two hopped on the boat before the boat turned around and left the place as quickly as possible. After making sure the direction was right, Kai walked toward the unconscious Kaya and sat down beside her.

"H-Hmmm…" A few moments later, Kaya's eyes fluttered open slowly as she gazed around dazedly.

Kai's eyes shifted to look at her silently as he waited for her to regain some clarity. Kaya's beautiful green irises moved around for a few moments before they rested on Kai. However, weirdly enough, she didn't immediately wake up or get shocked. Instead, a tear trickled down one of her eyes as she silently stared at him.

A myriad of emotions flashed across her face in a split second before she closed her eyes again.

"Did I… die?" She murmured confusedly, seemingly asking herself. "Am I now seeing an image of him? Is this what they call 'Life flashes before your eyes' thing?"

"You are alive," Kai said with a rather cold tone.

The moment she heard those words, her teary eyes opened again as she looked at Kai again, this time, there was some kind of confusion hidden in her eyes. That confusion quickly changed into surprise and then from surprise to shock.

"K-Kai?! Is that really… you?" She asked.

"Yes." He said.

Immediately, without any warning, Kaya jumped on Kai with all of her weight as she pushed him down and hugged him tightly.

"How am I… How can this be? I thought I was dead… No, I was dead…" Kaya said as tears streamed down her face.

"I thought I will never be able to see you… I accepted that… I tried to accept it but I couldn't… I really couldn't. Kai… Kai… Kai… Kai…" She kept murmuring his name like a mantra as she hugged him tightly.

Kai could feel her body shivering as she cried quietly. Remembering the condition he found her in, Kai could somehow understand why she was this agitated. She was basically a few hours away from her death at most. If anything, she most likely was in that state for almost a day, alone, cold, and weak.

It was something that even the strongest of people could not bear. Feeling life seep out of you was the worst feeling possible.

"I'm alive. I never thought I would feel this happy for being alive. But I'm glad… *Sniff*... I'm truly glad."

The usually mischievous and flirty Kaya was nowhere to be seen and instead she was now akin to a small kid that got detached from their parents. She didn't mind the fact that she was crying like a kid in front of Kai.

If anything, feeling every inch of her body pressed against him was akin to heaven for her. After all those horrible long hours of pain and suffering, when she felt Kai in her arms again, the sheer happiness she felt can't be described with words.

A few moments later, Kaya lifted her face and looked at Kai from up close, her eyes tracing every inch of his face as if she was trying to engrave it in her mind. During those 24 hours that she spent alone, the only thing that appeared in her mind was Kai's face and yet she weirdly discovered that she didn't fully remember every detail of his facial features.

'That can't be! How can I forget? I must etch it into my mind. I will keep looking at his face till it becomes the only thing I can think about.' She thought as she felt determination well up in her chest.

"How did you… find me?"

"I received your call so I tracked you down. When I found out that you came to this place, I found it odd so we came here to see what happened."

"We?"

"Yes, 'We', bitch! And now, get off him!!" As Kaya was still in her position, she felt someone pulling her back powerfully.

Eva glared at Kaya coldly as she unleashed her aura.

"Coming back from death doors or not, I don't care. Don't jump on him like that. I will kill you!!" She yelled.

However, much to Eva's surprise, Kaya didn't lash back at her. Instead, she smiled and said.

"I never thought I would say this. But, I'm happy to see you again, Kiddo."
