The years went by, and the shark-types graldly accepted their new addition, and it wasn't long after, that the Megalodon family got another addition to the family, a small, healthy great white-type female child. LIke with Rin, the mother named her a name fit the opposite gender, Gou, and just like her brother, she had not carried on her father's hair or eyes, but instead more her reddish hair with pride and her red eyes gleamed of joy and happiness.

almost ten years later, The siblings swam around in the reef, the other shark-types children not daring to play with them due to their status, but Rin still had a smile on his face as he made friends with some of the few great-white type children that they were, which almost only included him, Gou and about four other children. He didn't mind, but Gou sure did. Consdidering the was the smallest one of them all, she was oft5en left out, but Rin always made sure she could at least be part of the games.

The proud parents still were concerned everytime Gou fled from the gamed, crying to them about being teased, and Rin was one day brought in to his father to discuss it. Toraichi never allowed misbehavings from asny of his children, but he even less allowed any of them to be bullied, but as he could't exactly go to the children and scare them with his size, he just had to give Rin a talk about this, and see if he could do SOMETHING for his sweet sister.

Rin swam carefully into his and Gou's shared bedroom in the giant coral home they lived in, which was more like a paolace than "house" like the other sharks lived in. Anyway, he swam in, and opening the giant door, saw his father's giant figure waiting for him on his bed. The boy, not really knowing what the whole deal was about, as he had just heard from his mother that his father was waiting for him in his room, got scared of the sight, as he immediately thought he was in truble again. He carefully swam in, and closed the door, staying by it to look at the giant shark-man, whose tail rested almost all the way from the bed to the door.

The black-haired man looked Rin dead in the eyes, his expression stoic, which made the younger one shiver in fear. Often, sharks disciplined their young by biting, or slapping with their tails on their children's human bodies, but Rin had never experienced such discipline before, but he now at this moment thought he would, and the fear grew ever greater when his father motioned for him to come over to the bed.

"Rin, I need to talk to you about a situation that is worrying both me and your mother." Toraichi started, looking his son in his red eyes as he gently kept his smaller tail swinging to stand still on the spot. Rin tried to look away, kinda ashamed to be spoken to this formally, but it was like that when he was in trouble. The giant man sighed and looked at him while his eyes softened.

"It's about Gou's and your games."

Rin blinked as he heard his sister's name, and immediastely tried to recall a moment where he could have been a bit harsh to her, or a moment she could have been hurt at all. Not recalling any, he looked at his father with a puzzled look. "What about our games...? I romise, I try and not be too wilsd with her, and making sure he doesn't get hurt!" the magenta-haired boy called out, almost panicked in defending himself. The giant megalodon-type man raised his hand to halt his son to calm him, and smiled slightly.

"Rin, relax, I'm not isciplining you. I want you to start looking after Gou and make sure she doesn't get teased anymore." he stated, before furrowing his dark eyebrows again. Rin ensed up immediately at it. Toraichi sighed, realizing his son may be scared of him. Dear god, what kind of image has he set of himself in his son's eyes?

"Please make sure your sister is not being bullied, or left out. She's come home so many times lately crying, and It hurts me to see my daughter sad, do you understand that, Rin?" he asked, and the magenta-haired boy nodded at him. He too hated seeing his sister sad, but he had never really noticed she was crying when she had swam had seen something the time they played sharfish frisbee, but she hadn't said anything, so he hadn't bothered to ask. He now realized he had to start keeping her close, and check her always that she was having fun. After all, he was the oldest. and he waned to make his father proud!

"I'll make sure to check on her Dad!" he exclaimed, smiling widely, and Toraichi smiled too at him before getting up, carefully moving his giant fin to not knock something over in the room. Rin smiled widely at his father and swam into his bed to rest, as he had just come back from a game again. Toraichi moved so he rested over Rin and looked at him.

"Tell your sister that when you see her, and I'll talk to youer mother about this." the black-haired man smiled before swimming out and closing the door behind him. Rin silently clutched his pillows, furrowing his brown in concentration and decided then to make sure his sister was priotected, happy, and most of all, not bullied. He'd attack anyone who called his sister a name, pointed at her, or even nipped at her. With that in mind, Rin fell asleep, way too early. The parents didn't bother to wake him up, and soon enough, Gou followed him to bed.

In the middle of the night though, Rin woke up, realizing it was all quiet, and being a curious shark, Rin suddenly felt the need to explore the reef in the middle of the night, something he'd never done before. Quickly fixing his bed, he started sowly swimming towards the door, and had almost opened it whebn he felt a small hand grab him.

His fin almost smacked Gou away from him, in fear he was caught by someone, but aseeing as it was just her, he relaxed, until the older brother-instincts kicked in, and Rin immediaterly glared at the little girl, whose big eyes looked at wim curiosly.

"Onii-chan, why are you awake...? Mommy and daddy are still asleep.." she whispered, and let go of her brother, staying next to him. Rin quickly hushed her, and looked out the open door to check that no one was outside it to guard them. Seeing the coast clear, he swam out, and little Gou followed himm, demanding an answer to her question. Rin sighed slightly before leaning closer to her.

"I want to swim out. And see the rest of the reef at night, and more specifically... the hammerheads' lair." she whispered, and Gou's red eyes shot up in fear. The children had been warned not to mess with the hammerheads, as they had long ago been banished to be socializing with the rest of the shark-types, after a betrayal that had caused alot of sharks to be killed by the humans, and almost the entire tiger-shark family to lose their children. The hammerheads now were seen as traitors, and all of the adults warned their children that going near them woukld cause their deaths.

"But onii-chan, Mommy and daddy told us to never see the hammerheads! We'll get in trouble!" Gou almost shouted in fear, but Rin just covered her mouth and hushed her once again.

"Calm down, I'm just gonna see what the lair looks like.." he whispered and Gou whimpered, clinging to her brother,. and Rin was almost about to use force to get her to go back when he remembered his promise to his father: Never leave Gou alone.

"You can come with me." he whispered, and Gou blinked, realizing that she was being allowed to go too. Then all her worries of the terribly deed they were about to commit. Rin smiled widely at her, and pinky swore that they were gonna come back home before mom and dad even woke up and realized they were gone, and they'd not get in trouble.

Gou nodded, suddenly excited at the idea, and before they even had second thoughts, headed out, and into the giant reef, over to the hamerheads' dreaded lair, which was so forbidden to see or swim to that you could be exiled yourself for disobeying such a rule.
