Even with the rest she was pretty exhausted by the time they finally came into sight of Mamoru and Ratty. It had been almost non-stop from early that morning, she really didn't have anything left in her at the moment. The thing that kept her going was simply the fact that help was on the way, her brother was one of the two coming to meet her.

Her limbs were trembling from the strain of pushing herself so hard, but she was just as much in a hurry to reach them as they were to get to her.

Just when her eyes started to feel too heavy to stay open, when she thought she couldn't move another step and was so tired that THE GROUND was starting to look like a king size bed with fresh sheets-- there they were. She was almost so tired that she could have missed their silhouettes in the distance, but Aya noticed and got one more burst of energy in her legs, rushing forward towards them.

"Onii-chan!"

He really came!

His Eevee was keeping pace with him easily. Not surprising since he seemed to sense his trainer's need to get to his sister. Focused, he pushed forward with his eyes only searching for her. It amazed him that Cu could handle anything like this but he seemed to be managing.

But then he saw her. Pushing forward at an even faster pace, he ran straight to her. "Aya!"

His body ached from the pace but he didn't care. His sister needed him and not even the blood that covered his body was going to stop him from getting to her and protecting her from harm.

That was all it took for him to pull her into his arms, protecting her and comforting her all at once.

As soon as they were within sight of her, and Aya had sprinted those final few steps, Mamoru stopped. And held back.

Togepi chirped in a bit of confusion and looked up from his post in Mamoru's arm. His trainer was as scuffed and cut as he was, but why weren't they running anymore?

"Shh," Mamoru said to him. Mamoru didn't regret coming along to help Aya fight his way through to his sister, but now that the bulk of the fighting was done, his place was more removed. He wouldn't impose on their first time together in years any more than could be helped.

He instead kept his attention on their surroundings just in case some of the bug Pokémon were still looking to cause trouble.

She felt tears coming to her eyes then as she sank into Ran and returned the hold easily, unable to help them anymore. She'd forced herself to come to terms with the likelihood she wouldn't see Ran again, at best for a long time, and at worst... well, she HADN'T come to terms with that.

"Onii-chan! You came! I missed you so much...!"

It wasn't exactly the first thing she'd planned to say to him, but a combination of exhaustion and distress had finally caught up to her, she really couldn't help it even if she wanted to at that point. Her big brother was finally in front of her again, even if he was from about five years into the future she really just didn't care about that detail right then. Her big brother was back.
