"Girochi! What are you doing awake?!" Chikane said as she walked over to him.

"Nothing I had a feeling you would sneak out again and look I was right. Your just like your mother." Girochi smiled. "Well if that's all good night." Chikane said as she walked past him. Girochi got a good whiff of Chikane.

"Hold it what's that I smell? It smells so sweat. It's a human sent. Chikane explain!" Girochi said as he got in front of Chikane. Chikane didn't much like it so she gave him a death glare. "I was out." Chikane said. "Doing what?! Why do you have a humans sent on you?!" Girochi said.

"Why else would there be a human sent on me! I was hunting!" Chikane said.

Girochi smiled. "You have more of your father in you then I thought! Judging from the smell it's a girl with a sweat sent! So did you kill her now or are you staking her?!" Girochi said his voice said it all he sounded so proud. "I'm staking her. I haven't killed her yet." Chikane said.

"I see well keep it up kid. And don't worry I wont tell Saito about you sneaking out but he'll be so proud to hear his daughter has found a good enough pray for her to hunt." Girochi said with a smirk as he walked away. Chikane sighed and started walking.

Thank god it worked. Girochi isn't the smartest so it's easy to trick him but I better be more careful next time it could be my father waiting for me. Chikane thought as she kept walking. The first thing Chikane did was take a bath to try to wash away Himeko's sweat sent. Then after she was done with that it was time for bed.

Meanwhile. Himeko had just put away her horse and was carrying Kazuki on her back as she walked inside the palace. No one was awake. That's good I got away with it. Himeko thought as she sighed and headed for her room. She went and lied Kazuki down on her bed as she went to take a bath.

After she was done she was to tired to remember that Kazuki was on her bed so she went and lied down and went to sleep.

The next day. Kazuki slowly opened his eyes but to his surprised it wasn't Chikane who was there. He went and sat up and he backed away until he fell off the bed. Himeko and Makoto woke up when they heard a thud.

Himeko sat up and saw it was Kazuki who made the thud sound so she got out of bed and went to his side. "Are you alright Kazuki?" Himeko asked as she was going to help him up. Kazuki quickly moved out of the way.

"Who are you? Where's Chikane?" Kazuki asked.

Himeko noticed he was shaking. "I'm Himeko I'm Chikane's friend she asked me to find you a family." Himeko said with a smile. Kazuki's face went red as he remembered what happened before he went to sleep.

"Kazuki you'll be safer with a human family my friend Himeko will help you find one. Trust her and be safe." Chikane's voice went through his mind. "I see. Then you're the friend Chikane told me about." Kazuki said as he relaxed. "Yup." Himeko said with a smile.

Makoto woke up and saw Kazuki. "Who's the kid?" Makoto asked as she went over to Himeko. Kazuki went and was now sitting closer to Himeko. "This is Kazuki." Himeko said. "Alright and what's he doing here? And more importantly how did he get here?" Makoto asked as she sat down and smiled at Kazuki.

"Well umm…" Himeko said as she was trying think of something to say. "Let me guess you snuck out again and found him huh." Makoto said. "Yeah that's it." Himeko said with a smile. Makoto went and messed up Himeko's blonde hair.

"Hey!" Himeko said as she looked at Makoto.

"So what now?" Makoto asked. "Well I was going to see if Souma and Tsubasa wouldn't mind taking care of him." Himeko said as she looked Kazuki. "This is my sister Makoto you don't have to worry she wont hurt you." Himeko said with a smile. Kazuki's face went red as he bowed his head to Makoto.

"Aww he is so cute if they don't want him he'll be staying with us." Makoto said as she went and hugged Kazuki. Kazuki was caught off guard and his face went really red. Himeko smiled as she watched them.

Meanwhile. Chikane woke up and got dressed. She was walking around the palace when she was stopped by her father. She lowered her head to him. He smirked and went and hugged Chikane. Chikane froze he hadn't hugged her ever since her mother was killed. He soon let her go.

"I'm so proud. Girochi told me you found a good enough pray to hunt is he right?" Saito said with a smirk.

Chikane lowered her head. "Yes sir." Chikane said. "That's great before you kill her I hope I get to meet her. She smells very sweat." Saito said as he walked past Chikane. Chikane smelled herself and noticed Himeko's sent still was on her. She started walking again.

O great now my father knows this is bad. I hope that I can still trick them other wise I wont be able to see Himeko anymore. Chikane thought as she sighed. She soon met up with Otoha and they both went off for training.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Meanwhile. "Good morning you guys." Souma said with a smile as he ran over to the two girl's. "Morning." They both said. Souma noticed Kazuki hiding behind Himeko. "Hello there and what's your name?" Souma said as he knelt down in front of Kazuki. "It's Kazuki." Kazuki said as he bowed his head to him.

"Nice to meet you Kazuki." Souma said with a smile as he got up.

"Why do you two have a little boy with you?" Souma asked. "Himeko found him and brought him home with her." Makoto said. Himeko gave her a why did you tell him look. "Wait that means you snuck out again last night. Himeko you know it isn't safe to do that! What if a werewolf found you! You could have been killed!" Souma said. Himeko lowered her head.

"Not true! Not all werewolves are mean!" Kazuki said as he was glaring at Souma. They all looked at him surprised. "Anyway Souma I'm fine. I was going to ask you if you and Tsubasa would like to take care of Kazuki." Himeko said.

Souma looked at Kazuki and then thought about it. "I would have to ask my brother but I don't see why not. But wouldn't it be better if he stayed with you?" Souma said. "That's right can't I just stay with you and Makoto sama. Please." Kazuki said as he looked up at Himeko.

Himeko smiled. "Well I guess so but we would have to ask dad first." Himeko said. "Well Tsubasa and Kaze are in the thrown room let's go ask him." Souma said as they all headed for the thrown room.

Later. They introduced Kazuki to both Tsubasa and Kaze. "Well I don't see why not." Kaze said with a smile. Tsubasa and Souma smiled. Kazuki was happy that he'd be staying with Himeko since after all she is friends with Chikane. They all went off to play with Kazuki leaving the adults to there work.

Meanwhile. "Chikane what's with you today?!" Saito said as he walked in on his daughter training. Everyone quickly kneeled to him as Chikane lowered her head. "Your movements are slow and your not attacking to kill!" Saito yelled as he was now in front of his daughter.

"I'm sorry sir I'll do better this time." Chikane said. Saito sighed. "Alright well I'll leave you to your training but when I come back to check on you. You better be getting better not worse!" Saito said as he left the room. Everyone got up and started training again.

Today's training was hand to hand in human form. Chikane was beating up everyone she fought with but that wasn't enough for her father. He wanted his daughter to leave them on the ground out cold. So Chikane's eyes got colder as she started fighting again. A whole group of werewolves were her opponents as they all went and started fighting.

Later. Her father came back in to see all the students out cold on the ground. "Very good Chikane." Saito said with a smirk. Chikane lowered her head. "Thank you sir." Chikane said. "Well that's all for your training today right?" Saito asked.

"Yes sir." Chikane said.

"Well good then you and Otoha can come with me and Girochi. We have something to do today." Saito said. Both her and Otoha followed him and Girochi. They soon were on there horses and rode off.

Later. They stopped in a near by werewolf village. Everyone stopped and kneeled down when they saw them. They rode to the center of the village were there where some solders there. They stopped and got off there horses. All the solders kneeled to him. "Who is in charge?" Saito asked. "I am sire." A werewolf said as he got up but he bowed to him.

"I see I got a report that you wanted to tell me something." Saito said. "Yes sire it would seem we have finally got one of the human scum to talk and tell us everything." The solder said. "I see. Then let's talk about this in your tent." Saito said as Him, Girochi and the solder went inside the tent.

Chikane and Otoha just waited out side with the horses. When it came to matters like this Chikane wasn't really told about any of it. Four little kids ran over to the two girls. "You're the princess." They all said with smiles. Chikane smiled back.

"Hey you brats show respect down on your knees!" A solder yelled at them.

The kids quickly did what the solder said. Chikane sighed as she went and kneeled in front of the kids. "It's alright you can get up. So what are you all playing?" Chikane said. The kids all stood up and smiled. "Were playing hunting." A little boy said.

"Really and how do you play?" Chikane asked. "Easy. You pick someone to be the human and everyone has to go and try to find them." Another little boy said. "I see and so which one of you is the human?" Chikane asked. "That's me." The only little girl said. "Yeah it's because she's the only one who play's with us. And normally the human is a girl." One boy said.

"I see. Can me and Otoha play with you?" Chikane asked.

"Alright. But what will you be?" They all said. "How about we'll be the humans and all of you try to get us." Chikane said with a smile. "Alright." They all said with smiles as they gave Otoha and Chikane time to run off and hide. As soon as they were far enough away the kids started to play.

Later. It was getting late and Saito and Girochi had just finished talking to the solder. They came out and Saito wasn't to happy when he saw that Chikane was playing with kids. "Chikane! Otoha time to leave!" Saito yelled at them. "Alright." They both said. "Bye." They both said to the little kids. The kids said bye back and returned to there families.

Chikane and Otoha got on there horses and rode off with Saito and Girochi. Girochi could tell that Saito was pissed off. Later. They were back at the palace. Chikane got a hard punch across her face. Chikane lowered her head. Saito had already punched Otoha across the face as well.

"That was embarrassing to see my daughter playing with children! You're the princess and yet you were acting like a child! From now on you will train for the whole day non stop! You will not be allowed any freedom to do what you want! Am I understood!" Saito yelled.

Chikane glared at him with her cold royal blue eyes.

"Yes sir." Chikane said. "Good now both of you get out of my sight!" Saito said as they both bowed to him and left. Saito sighed. "Still to much like her huh?" Girochi asked. "Yeah. It's not like it's a bad thing. At first I was hoping that Chikane would be like her mother but since it was her kindness that got her killed. Well I just don't want it to be the death of Chikane as well." Saito said.

"Maybe if you just told her that she wouldn't keep giving you the death glare." Girochi said. "I can't tell her that. She wants to be like her mother I can see it in her eyes. And if I told her my reasons for doing what I do I think she would hate me more." Saito said as him and Girochi headed to the thrown room.

Meanwhile. "I'm sorry Otoha I didn't think he would hit you as well." Chikane said as she looked over at Otoha. "It's alright Chikane it doesn't hurt. Besides I feel sorry for you. Training the way you do non stop wont that be painful." Otoha said as she lowered her head.

"I guess so but I don't mind my father says pain just makes you stronger that is if it doesn't kill you." Chikane said.

"That's true." Otoha said as they both laughed. Chikane stopped and opened the door to her room. "Well good night Otoha." Chikane said. "Good night Chikane." Otoha said as she bowed to Chikane and headed for her room. Chikane went and walked over to the window.

She was looking at the moon. It's getting harder to keep the monster in me tamed. It would seem the only time I have no problem being like my mother is when I'm around Himeko. When I'm around her I'm myself. I wish the full moon will come soon. Chikane thought as she lied down and fell asleep.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Meanwhile. Makoto and Kazuki were asleep. Kazuki was curled up next to Himeko. Himeko smiled. Chikane I wonder what she's up to right now. She must be sleeping. I can't wait to see her again. Himeko thought as she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
