Her tears fell down her cheeks. It was different to her she barely ever cried and she couldn't remember the last time she did. She felt so alone and isolated but then she felt Bankotsu's hand on her shoulder and relaxed slowly.

"Don't cry any more Iceheart. She's happy that's what matters most right?" Bankotsu said softly.

"Too me but not to her father or even you!" Iceheart screamed and jumped away from him the one person other than her twin brother she trusted.

"Then go! Your brother came for you I won't hold you back from what you desire. You told me you'd be leaving I couldn't keep you because your brother would come. Go! I don't care any more! It was stupid of them to take you any ways you belong in the Ice lands where your people are; The people who can talk to dragons. That's what you want isn't it?" Bankotsu screamed more angry than he ever had been at her.

"That's not true! Not all of my people can talk to dragons only a select few and usually they're murdered in battle. I'm the only one who's survived. And my family's full of dragon masters. I just didn't want to marry at the time and ran away. Hmmm………shows what punishments lie in wait for you on the other side of the world. I got stuck with you!" Iceheart screamed angrily.

"You never got stuck with me you were just to helpless to fight your way free." Bankotsu growled angrily.

"Yeah ok. I wouldn't have been helpless if you hadn't taken my weapons. I wouldn't have been helpless if you hadn't had Mukotsu threaten to poison me!" Iceheart was shouting and another Band of Seven member showed up.

"Well hello Lady Iceheart." The guy sneared.

"What are you doing here Mukotsu?" Iceheart demanded angrily.

"Being a good brother." Mukotsu replied.

"Yeah right!" Iceheart shot back.

Bankotsu looked darkly at her but then pulled her in his arms and kissed her.

He let her go and a shocked look passed over the girls face. The anger disappeared and it was replaced by something else.

"I love Bankotsu but…."she murmured before fainting.

Bankotsu bent over to pick her up when Icebolt darted from behind a tree and pushed him away from his sister.
