<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4682b4">Hikaru stifled a giggle, raising the back of her hand to shield her mouth, and hide the corners of her lips that had drawn up slightly, hinting at a smile. She could feel her sisters distaste for learning and found it amusing. If it was for her amusement alone she wouldn't attempt to teach the stubborn Tsukiko. But for some reason she felt compelled to learn the speech of the mortal creatures, communication seemed an important step to take in order to live in a world such as this. <br/>
<br/>
She reached out to lightly rub her sisters back, a gesture she had learned to be comforting. <i>Its alright dear one. You will come to understand what I'm trying to teach...it might just take a little  longer, that's all. </i><br/>
<br/>
Though they were twins in every way physically, she was learning quickly that they were two very different people, extreme opposites one might say. While Tsukiko's darker nature became more apparent in the way she revelled in a slaughter, in the way she enjoyed blood shed, and in the way she viewed the world. Hikaru's nature was revealed to be the opposite. She ached for all things light, yearned to end suffering, and heal wounded, it ate at her to watch death steal a life, and the sight of someones life blood draining made her own blood run cold.<br/>
<br/>
Despite this, she loved her sister with every fiber of her being. Her sister was her other half, and somehow Hikaru knew they had been made this way purposely. Their creators had intended them each to be a half or a whole. While she was Light, Tsukiko was Darkness, and both together created a powerful balancing effect. <br/>
<br/>
All these thoughts that swam through her mind seemed to click into place quite suddenly when her twin began to speak once more. <i>But that's just it you see. Why we're so different, you and I. Do not deny it, I know you have seen and marked the differences between us.</i> Deciding to share her current thoughts on the subject she added. <i>I am the Light and you the Dark, two halves meant to balance each other to make a whole. You crave to destroy the wrong in the world, I crave to heal it. Together we have to find a balance between the two.</i> During her speech Hikaru had brought her arms up to encircle her twin in a warm embrace.</span>
