Chikane fell to one knee.
Saito saw that and was confused he hadn't hit Chikane so he didn't know why. Chikane was holding her chest were her heart is. "Himeko needs me. My heart is on fire she's endanger." Chikane looked up at her father. Saito backed away as Chikane slowly stood up.
Saito smirked.
"You're so much like her but it looks like you're like me as well. I use to be able to feel when you're mother was endanger as well." Saito sighed as he looked into Chikane's cold royal blue eyes. Chikane was getting ready to fight him if he wouldn't move since Himeko was endanger she didn't want to waist any time going to her.
Meanwhile.
Girochi went and took yet another kiss from Himeko's lips as he went and slowly started removing Himeko's kimono pans.
He was already feeling up Himeko's shaking human body. He smirked as he went and took another kiss from her lips. "Such fun creatures humans are I can now see why Chikane would want one for her mate. To bad once I'm done with you she might never want to come near you again." He smirked as he went and started kissing Himeko's neck again.
Tears have been coming down Himeko's closed eyes for awhile now she was still trying to get free but she was running out of energy. Chikane. Himeko thought.
Later
All of a sodden Himeko felt Girochi being thrown off.
She slowly opened her eyes and smiled as she saw Chikane there. She had thrown Girochi into a near by wall and had her back to Himeko. "Himeko are you alright?" Chikane asked as her death gaze was fixed on Girochi. Himeko quickly covered up and sat up as she lowered her head.
Chikane noticed she didn't answer and she really couldn't blame her for it. Chikane glanced over her shoulder and saw Himeko shaking and cover in cold sweat as her head was still down. "Himeko wait here for me and I'll be right back after I deal with the trash." Chikane glared at Girochi who was on his feet he smirked at Chikane.
"So Saito let you come and save you're mate I should have known after all you are his daughter after all. But tell me Chikane do you want her now even if she has been tainted will you still have her as you're mate." Girochi smirked as he laughed a little as he looked up at Chikane.
Chikane's death glare was ice cold as she smirked. "I do. I'll always have her as my mate besides this wasn't her fault it was mine for not getting here sooner and above all it was yours. For lying a hand on her with out her wanting you to. I will make you pay for what you have done Girochi." Chikane said as she disappeared.
She soon reappeared and pinned Girochi to the wall she went and punched him so hard in the gut that he went through the wall and hit the wall on the other side of the hall way. Chikane looked at Himeko and saw she was looking at Chikane shocked.
"I'll be right back Himeko alright." Chikane smiled as she went out the hole she had made and started beating the crap out of Girochi for what he had done.
Later.
Girochi was out cold and near death.
Chikane was going to punch him again but she was stopped she looked up and saw it was her father. "Chikane let me handle it from here I think you're mate needs you right now." Saito said as he smiled. Chikane moved away as she smiled back and ran off back to the room.
Saito sighed as he went and put Girochi on his back and carried him somewhere he could rest. My daughter is more like me then I thought I'm so proud she turned out great huh Karen. Saito thought as he smirked.
Meanwhile.
Chikane went back into the room and saw Himeko still sitting on the bed.
Himeko had fixed her kimono but her head was still down. Chikane walked over to her and kneeled down in front of her. She went and reached out to touch Himeko's face but froze when she saw Himeko close her eyes and pull away.
She noticed that Himeko was still shaking. She lowered her hand and sighed as she went and stood up and with out really thinking about it she went and hugged Himeko tightly. Himeko went and returned the hug she was hugging Chikane as tightly as she could as if she was afraid Chikane would leave if she didn't.
Himeko was crying into Chikane's kimono and Chikane noticed it as she went and stroked her fingers through Himeko's long blonde hair. "I'm sorry Himeko. It will never happen again because I will always be by your side to protect you. This I promise you." Chikane whispered in Himeko's ear as they stood that way.
Chikane was wishing she had killed Girochi but her father would have to soon learn the truth that his best friend took the woman he loved away from him and so she thought it would be best if he got to get him before Girochi dies. Right now the only thing that mattered to Chikane was Himeko and making her feel safe and ease the pain.
That's all Chikane was thinking about right now.

The next day.
Himeko slowly opened her eyes and her face went really red as Chikane's sleeping face was only inches away from her own.
Himeko was going to back away but she noticed that Chikane's arms were tightly around her as if to keep her close and safe. Himeko smiled and relaxed she didn't mind being so close to Chikane and she felt really safe as she slowly closed her eyes and fell back to sleep. Chikane was really tired from all the fighting so they both just lied there in peaceful sleep.
Meanwhile.
Girochi woke up and sat up.
"Morning Girochi. Man Chikane got you good." Saito smirked at Girochi. Girochi smirked back as he rubbed his head. "Yeah I know she was really trying to kill me. I'm guessing you stopped her thanks for that Saito." Girochi looked up at Saito who had lowered his head.
"What's wrong?" Girochi asked. "Girochi did you really not like Karen?" Saito asked. Girochi lowered his head. "No I didn't. I hated her she was making you weak without you even knowing it." Girochi made sure his eyes were covered.
"So was Chikane right did you kill both of them?" Saito asked. Girochi froze as he sighed. "I can't lie to you anymore yes I did. I was the one who killed them." Girochi soon was thrown against a near by wall hard and looked to see Saito had pinned him there.
"Why?! It didn't matter if I was softening up! The kingdom was at peace there was no reason for me to be cold and evil! And if I would have known that I would never have!" Saito yelled as he lowered his head. "You would have never treated Chikane like that." Girochi sighed as he looked at his old friend who was now in so much pain.
"I only did what I did because I thought that a human killed Karen because she was so kind that she let them get to close and they killed her! But if that wasn't the case then I put Chikane through hell for nothing! It's all you're fault Girochi!" Saito yelled as he kept his head lowered. Girochi sighed as he lowered his head as well.
"Not true Chikane may have hated the way you acted but I don't think she hated the training after all now she is strong enough to protect that mate of hers." Girochi said his head still lowered. Saito sighed and let him go he went and as hard as he could punched Girochi in the gut. Girochi fell to one knee.
"That was for you're sister!" Saito yelled as he went and punched Girochi hard across the face. "That was for Karen!" Saito yelled as he took a deep breath and punched Girochi hard in the face again. "And that! That was for Chikane!" Saito yelled as he was looking at his old friend with his cold blue eyes.
Girochi closed his eyes and got ready for more pain.
He soon opened them when he felt nothing. Saito had returned to his seat and was looking out a near by window. "That's it I thought you would kill me." Girochi voice was filled with surprise as he looked confused at Saito. Saito smirked as he looked at the sky.
"No I won't kill you. My wife and you're sister would be sad if I killed you now. Besides my wife never liked killing." Saito laughed a little laugh as he closed his eyes and felt the sunlight hit him. He knew that it was his beautiful kind Karen smiling at him.
Girochi sighed and smirked as he got up and sat down on the bed. He felt the light of the sun on him and couldn't help but smile knowing that it was his sister smiling at him. They both stood like that enjoying the feeling that the person they both cared about were around them.
Later.
Chikane slowly opened her eyes and she smiled as Himeko's sleeping face was in front of hers.
Himeko soon slowly opened her eyes and her face went red as she saw Chikane's smiling face in front of her own. "Did you sleep well Himeko?" Chikane asked as she was slowly moving her arms away. Himeko felt that and quickly lowered her head as she lightly pulled on Chikane's arm.
Chikane was confused but soon got what it was Himeko wanted. Chikane went and put her arms around Himeko again holding her close to her. "I slept good thank you Chikane." Himeko lifted her head and smiled. Chikane smiled back and was happy that Himeko looked like she was slowly going back to her old self.
They stood that way as they started talking about other things.
Later.
A nock on the door made them both get up and out of bed.
"Come in." Chikane said. The door opened and Himeko froze and hid behind Chikane. Chikane growled and was death glaring Girochi with her ice cold royal blue eyes. "Wow easy Chikane I didn't come here to fight." Girochi said as Saito came into the room as well.
"Father?" Chikane asked with a confused look. She was still glaring at Girochi. Himeko had her eyes closed and was shaking behind Chikane. Chikane was still pissed off at him for what he had done.
"Chikane we no longer have any reason to keep Himeko here if you wish you may take her back home. And while you're there please tell Kaze that I'm ending my attacks and this stupid war." Saito said with a smile. Chikane looked at him in shock. "Who are you? What have you done with my father?" Chikane asked.
Saito laughed as he looked at his daughter confused face. "It's me Chikane I was just thinking that what I'm doing right now is stupid and it's about time we end it. Tell Kaze that we can talk anytime about how the world will be after but for now I'm ending all attacks on the humans.
Besides I can't very well be attacking my daughters mate's people now can I." Saito smiled at both of them. Chikane's and Himeko's faces went red as they looked at each other. Chikane smiled at Saito. He is finally back it took him long enough. Chikane thought as she looked at Himeko's smiling face.
Girochi and Saito left the room to give them some time alone. "He's back Himeko. That's the father I remember from when I was little. It took him years but he is back finally." Chikane smiled. Himeko smiled as well Chikane looked so happy that Himeko couldn't help but be happy as well.
"Wait if the war is over that means we can see each other whenever now right." Chikane said as she looked at Himeko. "Right." Himeko smiled. They both were so happy that it took them awhile to come back to reality. It was soon after that Himeko met Saito the right way.
Girochi made sure he wasn't around he knew it would take a very long time before Himeko and Chikane would ever let him near them. Saito looked at Himeko and smiled. "It looks like Chikane is more like me then I thought she even went off and found her self a kind hearted human." Saito laughed as Himeko's and Chikane's faces went red.
"Any way it's nice to meet you the right way. Sorry about what happened before." Saito made him self stop laughing as he smiled at them. "Yes it's very nice to meet you as well." Himeko said as she bowed to him. Saito smiled as he went and lifted Himeko's head with his hand so they could be face to face.
"You're Chikane's mate you don't have to be so respectful to me. After all since you're her mate and all that makes you part of the family. As one of my pack I will protect you from harm when Chikane can't." Saito smiled as Himeko stood up.
"Alright father that's enough I think you'll make Himeko pass out if you keep it up." Chikane sighed as she looked at her father. "Sorry I guess you're right anyway you two should be heading back. I'm sure Kaze is worried sick about you." Saito smiled at them as he waved bye to both of them.
Chikane's horse was ready as she got on and helped Himeko get on right in the middle of her self and the horse they both said bye to Otoha and Saito as they rode off. "Are you sure about this Saito what if she doesn't come back." Girochi said as he was at Saito's side.
"That's alright with me I just want her to be happy now that's all I want. After all I put her through enough hell." Saito smiled at Girochi as they watched until they were out if sight before returning back inside.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Later.
"Sire come quickly!" A guard said as Kaze and Tsubasa ran out of the thrown room.
Souma and Makoto ran out as they heard all the noise. Chikane stopped the horse and they both got down. Kazuki ran over and hugged both of them he was so happy to see them both but he soon let go when everyone else came out. Chikane stood by the horse as Makoto and Souma went and hugged Himeko.
They soon let go. "Are you alright?" Makoto asked as she looked at Himeko with worried eyes. "I'm alright Mako." Himeko smiled easing Makoto's and Souma's worry and they were just happy to see her again. Then Kaze came out and ran over to Himeko.
"Dad!" Himeko happily yelled as she hugged Kaze.
Kaze smiled as he hugged Himeko tightly. "I'm so glad you're alright Himeko." Kaze smiled. They soon let each other go and that's when everyone noticed Chikane. Tsubasa and Souma drew their swords and so did the other guards. Himeko saw that and ran over to Chikane. She was standing in front of her.
"Himeko what are you doing?" Souma asked as he was in front of Makoto and Tsubasa was in front of Kaze. Kazuki was in front of Himeko glaring at the others. "You can't hurt her I won't allow it." Himeko ordered. Chikane sighed as she looked at Kaze. She bowed to him. Kaze noticed that and bowed as well.
"Wait I think I know you. It can't be you must be Chikane right?" Kaze said as he looked surprised to see her but not as surprised as everyone else. "That's right. My father has sent me to return you're daughter to you and to tell you he has had it. He will not order any more attacks on your kingdom.
He is ending this war he said you can talk to him anytime about any rules or such things." Chikane smiled as she bowed her head to him. She was a little confused to how he knew her. "Well now you really do look like you're mother he must be so proud. Everyone stand down she's a friend." Kaze ordered as everyone drew their swords back as they all left.
"Come in we must really catch up after all the last time you both saw each other was when you both were babies." Kaze smiled at both Himeko and Chikane. They both looked at each other confused but they both followed him.
Kazuki was right behind them and so were the other three. They all went into the palace and were in a huge living room as Kaze was happy to see Himeko again he was also happy to see the daughter of his oldest friend.
