The other clan
"I don't like this. Star is getting too close to the Hikari boy!" growled her father.
"Is that a bad thing dear? It would be nice to have some new blood in the family again…" said his wife.
"Normally I'd agree, but not when the blood is of Hikari origin!"
"Afraid she'll remember her real last name?"
"That's exactly why I don't want them to get closer! She'll remember who her parents were and the Hikawa clan would return. I've got to prevent that from happening!" replied her father.
Outside the study, a certain person was outside listening to every word. It was Tras, normally she wouldn't listen in to their conversation, but the name Hikari caught her attention.
What does he mean by my real last name? Is there something they're not telling me? I have to know.
Tras quietly snuck quietly away, and went to bed with troubled thoughts running through her mind.
The next day, she sat next to Satoshi as usual, but he could see something was bothering her.
"Tras, what's wrong? You're not acting like yourself today."
"It's nothing."
"If it's nothing, then why do you look worried?"
"It's my parents. I overheard them talking last night by accident and I can't stop thinking about what they said!"
"Meet me at my house and tell me exactly what happened."
"Okay."
After school, Satoshi and Tras walked to his house. Tras was still worried, but not as much as before. She told him everything she could remember, and now he looked concerned.
"Tras, was there another Niwa-Hikari clan?" he finally asked.
"Actually there was. But it was destroyed around the same time as many of the art pieces. Father told me they were the ones who started it and I believe him."
"What was the other clan called?"
"Hikawa. Hikari-Niwa."
"Hikari-Niwa?! Isn't one clan enough for the two?"
"No, there's a reason why there were two instead of one."
"What reason?"
"You know how there are two Dark-type carriers?"
"You mean Krad and Dark. I know they're two sides of the same coin. But what does that have to do with…"
"Yup, some members had more Hikari than Niwa in them and vice-versa. Because of that they created two clans to avoid a family war."
"But why would the Hikawa clan start the Revolution that destroyed all the art pieces?"
"I don't know. No one does. All we know is that they started the Revolution."
