When Shingi, his mother and the girl had finished their meal then girl was the first to speak, first she wiped her mouth, then said "Thank you for supper it was delicious now as I had promised Shingi I shall tell you my name. It is Rain" as Rain said this Shingi's mother's eyes widened. 'So, that's how I know her she's one of Shinmaru's generals or was, I should say. But why is she here?' Shingi's mother thought to herself. "Well it's very nice to meet you Rain, I am Sakura, Shingi's mother" his mother replied to Rain. "I saved her from a hoard of demons with Taka" Shingi said proudly. 'I doubt she really would've need any help, but if he wants to think she's like a damsel that's okay' Sakura thought then quickly said " I need to talk with Rain alone for a moment, so you can go outside Shingi and harvest the crops. Alright?" Sakura asked, Shingi only nodded and went out side.
"I knew that I knew you. Rain general of the Canines" Sakura commented. "So he is the son of Shinmaru then" Rain said with a girl. "So you remember me as I remember you then" Sakura asked. "Yes the wife of a demon lord, how would I forget. So you haven't told your son his lineage?" Rain replied.
"No he doesn't need to know his Father's life story or what he truly is." As Sakura said this Shingi came in and herd. "What Do you mean what I am?" Shingi asked.
"I may as well tell you, I am sorry Sakura, but Shingi needs to know" Rain said, Sakura only nodded. "Shingi, you are not what you think you are. Not Human nor Demon, but……… Both. Shingi you are a Half Demon or Half Human which ever you wish to call it yourself. Now that you know your mark will show, not now but soon." Rain finished. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I didn't want it to ruin your lifestyle" Sakura added to her son.
"Wait So why were those demons after you?" Shingi asked. "Well they were Noda's lackeys" Rain answered. "Noda? Who is he?" Shingi questioned. "Shinmaru's Second in command, the bastard is getting ride of everyone and everything that stands between him and getting your fathers old rank" Rain said as she turned her hand into a fist. "But he's been dead for two years now" Shingi replied. "Yes but at that point there was no war, I don't even see why we need to get involved with this one. It's more or less finished." Rain finished.
"Then I'll stop him" Shingi loudly said. "Ha! You can't be serious Shingi he'll kill you then for sure get your father's rank" Rain sighed then continued " Besides he thinks you're dead, rather though you were. I'm sure he knows your alive now" she finished.
"Why would he think I'm dea……the fire right?" Shingi asked. Rain nodded "I'm the only one of your father's generals that is either alive or still working as a general. That's why Noda tried to kill me." She said sadly.
"Let's get that Son of a.." Shingi said getting interrupted by Rain "You're way to weak to fight Noda right now, besides that halberd of yours doesn't seem strong." "Believe me Rain Taka is one of the greatest weapons every, well to me."
"I'll take you to my sensei to train you at the same time I can go to Metal's and get some new armor and a new weapon." Rain sighed. "Metal's? Your Sensei? I'm so confused" Shingi said. "My Sensei will train you to fight and Metal's is the nickname of a Metal smith I know his real name is Dakou" Rain explained.
