A/N: I'm sorry I haven't been updating as much as I usually do. But I've been having writers block. I'll try to do better though. So, on with the story.

--------------------------------------

Hibiki stood by a tree and watched as Haya held Mamoru. She waved a hand at her youngest sister who nodded and started to scream loudly.

"Mamoru, what's wrong?" Haya asked and set down the little girl so she could check her for injuries. But instead of staying Mamoru walked back to the table, picked up a few cookies, and walked away

--------------------------------------

Mamoru walked beside Hibiki humming. "You looked like you were having fun." Hibiki said and held onto Mamoru's hand.

"Yeah," Mamoru responded. "Shin is nice, I don't think I like Kei very much, and Haya can be fun at times."

"More fun than me?" Hibiki asked glancing at the little brunette at her side.

"Nu uh." Mamoru said biting into one of the cookies she took before she left the table. "You're way more fun sissy."

"Glad to hear it." Hibiki said. She smiled evilly then pointed to Mamoru's right. "Ooh! Look! Something distracting!"

Mamoru looked but saw nothing. She then heard a loud crunching noise. She turned back and saw that a big bite had been taken out of her cookie. "Hey!" she whined playfully.

Hibiki poked Mamoru's nose and took off running, but not too fast so Mamoru could keep up with her.

"Cookie thief!" Mamoru squealed and ran off, after Hibiki.

--------------------------------------

Yukiko walked the palace alone, after getting away from Ryo. She loved her older sister but sometimes she smothered her.

Ryo had an absolute fit when Yukiko had cut her hair so short. That was funny. Yukiko laughed inwardly and bumped into someone. "Watch it!" she said.

"You watch it!" Yukiko looked at the person who dared to talk back to her. It was that boy who said she had a bad attitude.

"I should beat the crap outta you!" she yelled. "First you tell me I have a bad attitude, then you have the nerve to talk back to me! Who do you think you are?"

"Hey, I only said it cause it's true. And you yelled at me first! Just because you're a princess doesn't mean you get to be a bitch!"

Yukiko growled lowly and picked up Mannen by his shirt. She spun him around in the air as fast as she could (which was pretty fast for a 12 year old) and threw him to the other side of the hallway. And walked off.

--------------------------------------

Mamoru pouted as Hibiki carried her by her waist. "Quit pouting ya little monster." Hibiki told her. "I won fair and square.

"Nu uh!" Mamoru said. "You blind sighted and tackled me!"

Hibiki giggled. "I know."

"Humph!" Mamoru grumbled and crossed her arms.

Hibiki held Mamoru upright and kissed her forehead. "Okay, okay, quit pouting." she hugged the tiny child to her and walked to the palace. "Let's go get ready for dinner." Mamoru nodded and let her sister carry her inside so she could change into her dining clothes.

A/N: This chapter was mainly about Hibiki and Mamoru. Later you'll find out why they're so close. But not in this chapter. The next one will be up sooner than this one. R&R please
