She pulled down the kimono, exposing her upper chest. A large seal was branded on it; it was moving, the silhouette of a cat as black as the night with red eyes. It seemed to stare at Keldran before it hissed. In the middle of the seal, cracks were branched out; they almost consumed the entire seal and reached out to her normal skin. "The monster inside of me is trying to kill me. Just because I am not tainted by the stench of death does not mean I am not dying. When this seal is transfered or broken I will turn to dust; I am not compatible with it at all. The one who was compatible was kidnapped and I am sure that the Leaf will not be interested in the Hikari's needs as they kidnapped her in the first place."

She sighed. "Like I said, if you refuse, I cannot force you. I can only watch you leave with the supplies you requested. The personality I put on is a front; do you honestly think I'd say any of this to someone who I had no intention of doing anything with? Keldran, I have no objections to letting you leave. In fact, the door is open now. Understand this; where you may feel no guilt, you still are walking away from an oppurtunity to do good. I am doing something for you; if you wish to shirk on your repayment then so be it. I cannot kill a man like you; it would be a worse fate to let you live. I have no intention of harming you or your friends. Nor do I have any intention of endangering Konoha, as if I die there then something worse than the fate my clan is currently suffering will be unleashed. This beast has an agenda against the Hikari, but when we are all dead, where do you think it shall venture next? To find the last few that weren't in the village. After that, it will kill all it pleases and only one seal can stop it. It would be very difficult, however, for us to seal the beast if we're extinct. I am not empty. As I said, you have your options. I will not stop you from walking away. Understand that this beast cannot be killed as it lives off of negativity. Wherever there is war, death, or pain, it will reform after being dispersed. I may be someone who wears a mask of a personality, but I am not someone who wants there to be needless, endless, death. Tell me, when my body becomes ashes, do you think that the seal will still be there? I did not want to say anything about Akito, because people tend to panic, but he is the curse our clan bears."

She turned away from him. "You're selfish, Keldran. This much I've come to know. My clan is not evil; they are misguided. If you leave, then please, do not return. You are one of the types that I am trying to rid this village of." Her eyes narrowed. "I need not a shell of a man to produce an heir, but someone who can look beyond caring for themselves. It was foolish to ask such a task of someone who can't understand what it means to give your life for another. Then again, it's not even what I'm asking of you. Was the reason you left your village also selfish? I don't even think I need to ask."

Chichi entered the mansion, but paid no attention to the quarrel between the two in the throne room. She instead went straight to the kitchen, and set herbs on the table. She also placed different medicinal supplies. "Whoever is hurt, speak up. It's better to be repaired now than suffer your wound later." Her hair was sandy brown and her eyes were yellow. "And relax; I'm like Sansa. I'm not one of them; violence seems to be all the Hikari are interested in. I was taken from my home when I was a child. Sansa was picked off the streets as an orphan. This place seems bad, but it's really not. It wasn't always like this; we used to trust each other. We used to communicate rather than killing one another when we didn't get along. Everything changed when..." She trailed off. Her best friend had been taken from her. She still remembered how she tried to save her, tailing the ANBU halfway to their location; she was so tired, but she was possessed. The sound of Rena screaming echoed in her ears; the death of quite a few Hikari burned in her memory. After that, she lost her childhood, and soon, everyone else seemed to, as well.

Sansa placed a hand on Chichi's shoulder. "We all lost something last night. For some, it was their children. For others, it was their parents. For most, it was their humanity." She turned to Mugen. "I apologize for the way our clansmembers have treated you."
