"My swords?!? Are you CRAZY?" Jisan yelled, putting them back into their sheaths. "These swords were my father's, his grandfather's, and his grandfather's father's. Before my father went into war, he left these to my mother so that in case he died, they could still be passed on to his son. But instead, he got me. My mother died when I was born which is why I'm blind. These swords remind me of the family I'll never have. I will NEVER get rid of them, no matter what you say." Kuuki flew down to land on her shoulder. "I don't see how swords are a sign of weakness. It takes years of practice to perfect being able to use one in your dominant hand, even longer to be able to use two." she told him. "I don't see what he's getting at, but you were right to not listen to him." Kuuki told her.

"You can't convince me to get rid of my swords either." Ithil added then he bit into the apple that Jisan had thrown to him.

"I don't actually mean get rid of them, throw them out, destroy them. You should only use them when they're needed. If you draw a sword on someone when you could fight, it is a sign that you are not confident with your strength. You can still use them just not when a simple fist fight would settle things." Kiten looked at both of them. "Do you at least see what I'm getting at?"

"Yeah, I guess I do." Jisan said with a shrug. "Fine. I just really didn't feel like beating up that woman when it would've been much easier to make a quick threat."

"Yeah, I get it." Ithil sighed, "I'll use my swords only when they're needed." "Don't worry." Draug nudged Ithil's hand with his head, "You'll get stronger. You won't be able to fly like Jisan, but you will get stronger." Ithil smiled and rubbed Draug's head.

"Good." Kiten smiled. "And, Jisan, threats work just as well. Now, are we ready to go back to the house?"

"Sure." Ithil shrugged.

"Yeah." Jisan nodded. Kuuki turned to face her. "Jisan, I'd feel better if you'd tell them about that scratch on your neck. I've just got a bad feeling about it." "I told you, that was just from Vince." "Jisan..." "I'm telling you I'm fine! Sheesh, give it a rest will you?" Kuuki stayed silent. "Ok, I'm sorry for getting mad, it's just...I hate asking for help. I do things on my own." "This is foolish." he said. "I'll be fine, don't worry!" she said, scratching his head.

"Follow me." Kiten started walking the opposite way. "I know a short cut." Keishin plopped down in front of him, almost tripping him. "What?!" Kiten spat. "I'm worried about her," Keishin said, standing now that he had gotten Kiten's attention. "Why?" "I think Vince hurt her." "Jisan!" Kiten called over his shoulder.

"What?" Jisan asked, tilting her head to the side. "You want one too?" she pulled out an apple and showed it to him.

"Uh...sure." Jisan tossed one to him and Kiten smiled. "But I was actually going to ask you if Vince hurt you. Keishin thought he did."

"No. I'm fine. Sure a bruise will come up here and there, but that's nothing I can't handle." she said. Kuuki glared at her. "Why won't you tell him?" "He asked if Vince hurt me, I told him the truth. And how many times do I have to tell you Kuuki? I'm FINE!"

When they returned to the old house, kiten walked in and laid down on the stiff couch. "I wonder what time it is...ow well." He closed his eyes and lowered his hat over his eyes. "I'm takin' a snoze. Wake me up if anyone comes to the door...and don't get yourselves into trouble again," he added.

"I'm not going to get into trouble, I'm just going to walk around and explore a bit. See ya!" Jisan said, walking back out the door. "I'm going to look around as well. Tell me if you need me at any time." said Kuuki. "Don't worry Kuuk, I'll be ok." The falcon turned around and watched her one last time before taking off. No sooner had he gone out of sight Jisan felt the wave of pain again in her neck, but this time she felt it in her arms and shoulders as well. It got so bad, she had to lean against the wall for support, but after a bit the pain receded once more. It left her in a cold sweat again. 'Maybe...there is something wrong with me...' she thought, feeling the mark on her neck. It felt hot, and hurt to touch.

Belle sat down on the floor in the grungy living room, Tier sitting down with her. Belle pet the large cat with a thin hand, the golden fur smooth and silky. Belle smiled, talking quietly with the lioness.

"You okay?" Ithil asked Jisan as he came up behind her. He saw the sweat on her face.

"Oh ummmm yeah. I'm fine!" Jisan said smiling. "Just a bit worn out from fighting is all. Vince is pretty tough. I'll just have to make sure I beat him next time."

"Uh-huh." Ithil said, but he was totally unconvinced. He'd just have to make sure to keep an eye on her.

'He doesn't trust me one bit. I'll have to get him away from me somehow...' Jisan thought. She walked away to explore the town like she said, all the while thinking of how to get away from Ithil. If he saw the mark hurt her again, then everyone would treat her like a little kid. 'If they find out, they'll always be watching me, always doing everything for me, I wouldn't get to fight anymore. I'm already blind, I'm not going to be just a girl in the way too.'

Draug looked at Ithil, "I don't think that she wants you around." "Well, we don't want to be even more hurt than she is now." Ithil answered speaking in Wolf. Draug sighed, "Do whatever you want. But she doesn't want help."
