The next day.

"Chikane time to wake up." A 16 year old woman's voice said as she lightly shook Chikane. Chikane slowly opened her cold royal blue eyes and sat up and looked at the woman. She has long curly dark golden blonde hair as she lowered her dark golden eyes to Chikane.

She is wearing a light red kimono top and black kimono pans. Chikane smiled. "Good morning Otoha you know you don't have to lower your eyes to me. We are friends after all." Chikane said as she got out of bed and walked over to get her cloths she was going to wear.

"I know it's just a habit. Your father asked me to remind you that today you will be going with him to see the human prisoners get interrogated." Otoha said. "I see. More like tortured." Chikane said to her self as Otoha left the room so Chikane could get ready.

Awhile later Chikane was ready to go. She had her black cape on as she walked with Otoha to meet with her father and Girochi. Later. Chikane got on her black horse by her father's black horse and Girochi's brown one. Otoha kneeled to them as they rode off. Otoha waited awhile before getting up and returning to the palace to start cleaning.

Meanwhile. "Himeko wake up!" Makoto playfully yelled as she went and shook Himeko. Himeko slowly opened her kind violet eyes and slowly sat up. "It's to early Mako." Himeko said as she looked at her already awake and hyper sister. She was already dressed.

"Come on Souma should be here soon. Remember today we were all going to hang out in the near by city." Makoto said with a smile. "That's right I forgot." Himeko said with a smile as she got up and was getting ready as Makoto kept telling her to hurry before Souma got there.

Later. Himeko, Makoto and Souma were having so much fun in the city.

Meanwhile. Chikane watched as her father and Girochi were yelling at some human solders that they had captured doing the last battle. Chikane turned away as her father went and killed one of them. Her father was known for his very short temper and he didn't like it when humans talked back to him or didn't answer.

"Saito maybe you should take a break and come back when your head is cool." Girochi said.

Saito looked at him his cold blue eyes sent chills through out both Girochi's and Chikane's spin. His hands were covered in the man he had just killed blood. "Fine. I'll be back human scum!" Saito said as he glared at the humans who were chained up and inside of a sell. Saito and Girochi left the room.

"Chikane see if you can talk to them. Ask them to please listen to Saito." Girochi whispered to Chikane before leaving the room. Chikane looked at the human men. They all were glaring at her. Chikane went to the front of the sell and kneeled.

"Please answer him other wise he'll kill you all." Chikane said as she looked at them.

They were all dirty and wounded. They are wearing rags that they were given when they were put in here. "Why should we! All you all are is monsters! Are king will win this war and then all of you will either be killed or slaves! If we all have to die to make it happen so be it!" The leader said as his cold brown eyes glared at Chikane.

All of his men agreed with him. Chikane sighed and lowered her head. "Please don't do this. My father will kill you all painfully if you don't answer him." Chikane said. "We aren't going to tell him anything monster!" The leader yelled as him and his men through there food bowls at Chikane.

The bowls all hit Chikane. She closed her eyes and wasn't harmed at all. Soon the door opened and Saito saw Chikane in front of the sell. "Chikane get away from those scum!" Saito yelled. Chikane stood up and walked away. She went and was standing by the door while Girochi and her father started interrogating them again.

This only the second time Chikane has came with them for interrogations but she could remember the first time very well since it's the most fun she has ever seen her father have. Later. It was getting late and it was down to the last human.

It was a boy who looked younger then Chikane. Chikane saw him in the sell shaking his dark golden eyes weren't cold like the other men they were filled with fear. Chikane watched as her father dragged him out of the sell and was yelling at him.

Chikane closed her eyes and tried to tune him out but it didn't work. She soon opened her eyes to see the boy on the ground he was hurt as is but now it was much worse. "Answer me boy or die right here!" Saito yelled as he was getting ready to kill him.

"Father wait!" Chikane said.

Saito froze as him and Girochi both looked at Chikane. "Please let me try. If he talks to me I'll tell you. And if he does talk let him go." Chikane said as she looked at her father. Saito smiled as he moved away from the boy.

"He's all yours. I've had my fun do what you want let's go Girochi." Saito said as him and Girochi left the room. Chikane waited awhile before going to the boy. She knelt down in front of him and reached out for him. The boy closed his eyes and was still shaking.

Chikane saw that and pulled her hand away. "What's your name little one?" Chikane asked with a smile. The little boy looked at Chikane's smiling face and his face went red. "It's Kazuki." Kazuki said as he was looking into Chikane's royal blue eyes with his scared dark golden eyes.

He has long messy torques hair and he was wearing rags. "Hello Kazuki my name is Chikane. How old are you?" Chikane said. "I'm 13." Kazuki said as he slowly sat up. "I see what were you doing with these solders?" Chikane asked.

"I was in the village they were guarding when the werewolves captured them I was picked up by mistake." Kazuki said as he lowered his head at the memory of his village being burned to the ground and his parents being gone. Chikane noticed that and she smiled as she went and hugged him.

Kazuki froze as his face was really red. "It'll be alright little one I'll make sure your taken good care of." Chikane whispered to Kazuki. Kazuki tried to hold back but he couldn't anymore he went and hugged Chikane back and was crying in her arms. Chikane held him in her arms trying to comfort him.

Later. Kazuki pulled away as he whipped the tears from his eyes. He looked up at Chikane. "Thank you Chikane sama." Kazuki said with a smile. "How about just Chikane." Chikane said with a smile. Kazuki's face went red. "Ok." Kazuki said.

"Good now then let's get you out of here. Can you walk?" Chikane said.

Kazuki tried to get up but he closed his eyes as he was holding his leg. Chikane saw that she went and turned her back to him. "Get on." Chikane said with a smile. Kazuki looked at her surprise but he went and got on her back. Once he was on Chikane got up and started walking.

Later. Chikane was riding back home with Kazuki.

Why is it I feel so safe with her? She's one of them. She's a werewolf and yet she's helping me. But why? Kazuki thought as he soon drifted off to sleep in her arms. Chikane saw that and smiled. He'll stay with me until I see Himeko again then she can take him with her and find a good human family to take him in. It'll be better for him. Chikane thought as she went faster.

Later. Kazuki was asleep in Chikane's huge bed. Chikane had asked Otoha to watch and treat him. Meanwhile. A good hard punch across her face was her fathers way of trying to knock some sense into her. The punch was much harder then before it made Chikane's lip start to bleed.

"Are you crazy! That human scum can't stay here!" Saito yelled.

"It wont be for to long and I wont just leave him in the woods were he is easy pray!" Chikane said. "No! That trash has to go now! I will not have a stupid human living here!" Saito yelled. "Saito clam down." Girochi said.

Saito looked at his old friend and then back at Chikane who was looking at him with her cold angry royal blue eyes. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "How long will it be staying here?!" Saito said trying hard not to lose it again.

"For awhile at lest until his wounds are healed." Chikane said. Saito sighed as he opened his eyes and looked at Chikane. "Very well but I don't want to see him. He must be kept in your room. If I see him I will kill him. Am I understood." Saito said.

"Yes sir and thank you." Chikane said as she gave her father a light smile before bowing to him and walking away. "She's to much like her mother. I fear it will be the death of her one day." Saito said as he looked at Girochi.

"You might be right about that. But it's just a little boy. Chikane wouldn't let any stupid human kill her. Don't worry so much and trust in your daughters strength that part she got from you remember." Girochi said with a smile.

They both smiled as they both started walking and talking about there next step.

Meanwhile. Chikane walked into her room. Otoha went over to her. "Chikane your lip." Otoha said. Chikane whipped the blood away. "It's nothing don't worry. How is he?" Chikane said with a smile. "He'll be fine all he needs is lots of rest." Otoha said as she lowered her head.

"Is something wrong?" Chikane asked. "Yes. Since when have you cared so much for humans?" Otoha asked. "I don't know. But in his case I felt bad. He is still so young and he was so scared so I felt like I needed to help." Chikane said. "I see. Well good night Chikane." Otoha said as she bowed to Chikane and walked to the door.

"Good night Otoha." Chikane said with a smile. Otoha smiled back and then left the room. Chikane went and sat down on the bed next to Kazuki. She went and moved some of his hair out of his face.

"Mommy." Kazuki whispered.

Chikane smiled as she went and got up. She went and was looking out her window at the moon. Hurry up and be full that way I can see Himeko again. For his and my sake. Chikane thought as she closed her eyes.

I guess I started carrying about humans when I met Himeko because the first time I didn't seem to really care. I just watched my father kill them but this time I spoke up and saved this little boys life. I guess it's all because of Himeko. Chikane thought as she opened her eyes and smiled.

All thanks to a human princess. Chikane thought as she stood there looking at the moon.
