<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#c71585">Hikaru's eyes opened as the illusion was shattered, and her humming trailed into silence as she looked around the woodland that now surrounded them. It was beautiful, the trees far enough apart to let the sun shine through. It eased her anger, though not enough to pity the being who had created the illusion as Tsukiko unleashed her wrath upon him. <br/>
<br/>
She did, however, receive a shock when her sister opened her mouth and called out, not only with her mind, but the way the mortals did. And black flames sprang to life, blades gleaming within them. This was new, she had never seen these weapons before. It was beginning to amaze her, the things they discovered each day. There was always something new to be found about the world, about themselves. She was beginning to wonder if they would ever know everything. <br/>
<br/>
Once more her attention was reclaimed by the creature who had dared to try and trick them. Catching glimpses of him now she could see he was small, smaller then she would have thought, to create such a big illusion. The pity came now, welling up in her as she watched him try and frantically evade the whirling blades, that she knew were about to be his death. Watching him shake in the middle of the circling blades pulled at her heart strings. She couldn't let her sister kill the poor creature.<br/>
<br/>
Her strides were quick and graceful, barely making a noise as she ran to her sister and the tiny fox. A hand reached out to rest gently on her twin's arm. <i>Tsukiko, wait</i>. She asked of her sister. <i>Look at him, he is terrified, he did not mean harm, I think he has been punished enough for his trickery. </i><br/>
<br/>
The look she gave her sister was pleading, she couldn't watch this small demon be slaughtered. Her gaze drifted to the fox, a look of pity there. </span>
