<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#c71585">Hikaru gave her twins hand a gentle squeeze. An apologetic gesture. She could sense the unease that came as she revealed how they came to be to the strange demon before them. In future she would have to remember not to divulge such things so easily. There was no telling what information could become a weapon in the wrong hands. And as of yet they had no idea if this man was friend or foe. She had a sneaking suspicion that with this demon it could go either way. Right now he seemed absolutely fascinated by them, but if that changed would he still remain friendly? <br/>
<br/>
She listened as her sister conversed with him and was surprised when he answered. He was a snake lord, no wonder she could sense great power from him. She hoped he never found cause to turn it on them. <br/>
<br/>
Since he had given his name, she thought it only polite to share theirs. “We are the Kimiko Twins. I am Hikaru, and my sister is Tsukiko.” <br/>
<br/>
His next question slightly angered Hikaru, and that was no easy feat. It wasn't his question really, but the way he proposed it. Who was he to think that he could simply follow them whether they wished it or not? In all honesty she would be thrilled to have him accompany them, teach them the ways of this world, even how to speak as he did with his mouth. But the threat to follow anyway turned her stomach. And despite the truth of his words, she didn't like their inexperience thrown out like that. <br/>
<br/>
But she said nothing in reply, merely looking at him with calm blue eyes. The only sign at all of her displeasure came in the slight frown upon her lips, and the smallest wrinkle in her brow. She would let Tsukiko decide the answer to this. <br/>
<br/>
In the mean time her attention was grabbed by a shifting of power. The little fox demon seemed to be up to something. Turning her head in his direction her eyes slid over his new form. She wondered what brought on the need to change in him. She wished suddenly that she could go over and touch him, communicate in the way she was with Katsutoshi. She wanted desperately to apologize for the fright they had given him. </span>
