Akihiro stepped from the water and onto the beach where Tawny stood with a boy. He looked from the boy to Tawny and then narrowed his eyes at him. "Where do you think you're going mister?" Akihiro grabbed Shi by the shirt and held him up over his head. Tawny rushed to her dad's side now that she actually had her legs. "Put him down Papa! I saved him!" Akihiro stopped and looked at his little girl and then back at Shi and then back at Tawny. "You saved this miserable rat?" His voice was low and gruff. Tawny nodded a little bit scared but with courage. "He said he doesn't want to marry me. But I said I will take his place in the killing." Akihiro looked confused "Kill me instead Papa." Tawny spread her arms wide and closed her eyes.<br/><br/>Akihiro couldn't believe what he was seeing. He looked at the boy he held in his hands and shook him and started to yell. "This is your fault! I have to kill my own daughter because of you! You non-swimming brat!"<br/><br/>Tawny stayed put, she was going to embrace her fate. She wasn't going to have this boy killed, he looked like he had a long and happy life ahead of him. Tawny didn't. That's all she could think about as she stood there ready to sacrifice herself for this boy. She opened her eyes when she realized nothing was happening and saw Akihiro violently shaking Shimasu. "Papa put him down!" Akihiro continued to shake him. "Not until he says he'll marry you or die! I'm not killing my own daughter for this shrimp!"
