Exhaling, Keiso looked up toward the Dragon Sage. Something inside him was initially upset. He wasn't upset with her answer so much as he was upset with the fact that his own people couldn't be trusted. While he could have understood if the Land of Wind would have misused the dragons, he would have had a harder time believing that the Land of Fire would have. Then he realized something. He realized what he was thinking was totally ridiculous.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry, you're absolutely right. When...when we grew up our parents did some questionable things, and that's why Gaara ended up with another being stuck inside of him."<br/><br/>Gaara himself seemed quite surprised with what Keiso was saying, and that alone would have been surprising in its own right. After all, Gaara seldom showed much of a reaction to anything. What shocked him was that Keiso was actually admitting that he was wrong. That didn't happen very often at all.<br/><br/>Inuzuka Kiba, meanwhile, was quite embarrassed by the fact that Draco had found an egg that had apparently been destined to be with her. Considering his relationship to animals, it may have been fair to say that he had felt entitled to be the destined one. A quick yip from Akamaru, however, indicated that the dog not only could smell what he was thinking but also showed that he was jealous over it.<br/><br/>Rubbing the back of his head again with a nervous blush playing out across the parts of his face that were visible, Kakashi tried to hide the fact that he didn't really have all that much of an excuse this time. He honestly hadn't known what to say to her. Excuses in this case wouldn't have even really worked. That being said, he did have one idea.<br/><br/>He was going to roll with the punches and play off of what had been said already. Looking toward her with his visible eye, Kakashi seemed to feel it was right just to reiterate what had already been said. "Well, if I can be honest, then I was thinking just like them. Can you really see her playing the part of the pampered princess?" Then again, he realized that she would have had been anything but pampered.<br/><br/>A life as a dragon-riding princess would have been tough, and she surely would have risen to the occasion. Nevertheless, she had been removed from this life, and it looked like Kakashi was going to have a lot of catching up to do. "Do you think that I should take her and fill in the gaps in her education?"<br/><br/>Gaara, now sneering, looked up toward Kakashi with folded arms. "You mean the gaps that you yourself have left?"<br/><br/>It wasn't often that Kakashi had the opportunity to be corrected by the rival of one of his own students. He honestly didn't like it all that much. What he didn't like most of all, however, was the fact that there wasn't any single way that he could have refuted what it was that Gaara was saying because he knew that it was so totally true. That had to be the absolute worst part about that all. Sighing, he knew he was beat at this point.
