"So why don't you tell us why your brother is so strict, Kisa-san? He seems to be about as bad as my father..."
Kisa sank her body into the water so that only her head was visible on the surface and looked up solemnly, "My brother and I... we were told that we were rescued by a man named Suisaiga, the previous ruler of the Fish Clan (Sakanazoku) before Sui-kun. My brother and I were really innocent when we were young and when we were around three, we met Sui-kun. Then, couple of years after when we were six, Sui told us the story of how he was waiting for his father near the shores of the ocean. He told us that when his father came back, he had two bundles in his arms both sleeping peacefully. Sui followed his father to the Hebizoku castle--this one right now--and announced that one of the twins was the future ruler of the Hebizoku. Apparently, that man knew our mother but passed away before we ever got a chance to know her name." She shifted her feet in the water and continued, "But Sui-kun told us that his father knew our mother and saw her pale on the sand with a bitemark on her neck... on the sand, there were footprints and a poisonous snake coiled near her arm. She was still alive and we were there on top of a rock a couple of feet away from her. She told her story--how strangers came and beat her, ordering her to give us to them and if she did, her life would be spared. But like a loving mother, she gave up her life for us. They were able to take us when they saw Suisaiga and when they saw him, they ran. She asked him to take us and bring them to the Hebizoku palace where we'll live safely and be with others just like us. She said that we were the children of Shirahama--the previous ruler of the Hebizoku so therefore, Suisaiga had a right to announce that one of us was the new ruler. We say one of us because there's only one person who would be in the position for the clock... though I'm betting it'll be my older brother... because everyone thinks so too."
She took a deep breath and this time, looked down at the water, "The reason my brother hates strangers so much is because 'strangers' hurt our mother and realized that 'strangers' could hurt us as well." She smiled sadly and looked up to the girls' faces, "He hates me for being too gullible and too trusting and tells me that if I trust someone too much, I could get hurt too. But, even if I do get hurt, I'll realize it then that you can't trust every single person you meet. But I'd like to believe that even if this one person or two... or even A THOUSAND that will hurt me, I know that I can find other people who won't... because not everyone is the same and not everyone is different."
Her sad smile turned into a cute, cheerful grin and giggled, "So that's my story." She turned to the high stone, pebbled wall behind her, "You heard that, right Hayato-san? I hope you did! That was a long story, I really don't wanna repeat it!"

Hayato chuckled, seeing him come in. "Because you care about your sister, and can't back down on her wishes, no?" He raised an eyebrow at him. "Besides, you know it is not good to turn back a Werewolf Kizoku leader, the Royal Princess, and I, Wolf Kizoku leader out, am I right again?" he eyed the leader carefully.
He felt his headaches leaving him. What Kisa said earlier had eased it a little. The memory was slowly moving away. But his traitor friend's face was still on his mind. Laughing at him. He winced, clutching his head again. Pain was running in Hayato?s head. He felt weird. Like something was going to happen. Something he didn't like.
"As for you, Princess, maybe I do have someone I trust, maybe I don't, who knows?" He chuckled. "And besides, just trust will not really bring peace between people now, right? If trust can solve anything, then Mazoku should be nice. Trusting..." He ended with an anger expression on him, but it disappeared soon. "Anyway..." He stopped. Silence followed, until suddenly, he jerked up from the water, looking out to the North of where they stood. He frowned. A wolf?s cry was heard, this time, loud enough to let the others hear as well. He remained standing for a while, until his face turned into anger.
"Twerp's Sister, sorry, but hold off the tour, but please take the Princess and the others. I have to go to attend something." He said, and he quickly got out, scrambling to his clothes, and running out of the palace.
"No! he can't be back alive!" He growled his anger out soon as he got outside. He then, howled in reply to the wolf?s cry. 'He can't be!'
