If nothing else it brought a smile to her face to hear her lecturing someone about it. Hikaru of course was more then capable of protecting herself, she was every bit as powerful as Tsukiko, and every bit as deadly. But with each death she caused a portion of her healing power would also diminish. It was the price one paid for the gift of healing. Lesser healers might lose it all together.<br/>

<i>Now, now Tsukiko, he did set us free. And his intentions were pure.</i> She giggled a little. <br/>

Lifting a hand to stroke her sisters hair as she was nuzzled, she gave Kyre a sympathetic look. “Unfortunately, what she says is not false. I've seen her dispatch many a man and woman that made me frown.”<br/>
<br/>
It wasn't something Hikaru approved of, but it was endearing, that her sister cared so much. And she chose to look at it that way rather then see only the death of a living being. She had long ago accepted her sisters way of life. They were ying and yang, light and dark. Without darkness there could be no light and vice versa. <br/>
<br/>
<i>Yes</i>. She sighed happily. <i>I would very much like to see what has become of the world since our exile from it. Do you suppose there are any rivers or lakes near by?</i> Hikaru asked eargerly. <br/>

She had always had an affinity for water. Out of all the elements it was the easiest for her to use. It called to her and she to it. </span>
