The next day.

Chikane slowly opened her eyes and smiled as she saw Himeko’s sleeping face inches away from her went and kissed Himeko’s forehead as she soon pulled away and got out of the bed.

She stopped and was looking out of the huge window.

This whole time everything has been a lie. That man isn’t my father he has been lying to me. I have to find out why. Chikane thought as she sighed and glanced over at the still sleeping Himeko. I’m sorry. Chikane thought as she left the room.

She closed the doors and locked them she went and hid the key somewhere outside so Souma and Makoto could find it. After all that she looked back one last time at the door before she ran off. I’m sorry Himeko but I have to find out from the liar himself. Chikane thought as she ran faster.

Later.

“Well this is odd I don’t normally see you at all Arashi.” Aion smirked as he was sitting on his thrown.

“I know everything and I want to know why you have been lying to me!” Chikane order as she was glaring at him with her ice cold royal blue eyes. Aion smirked and rose from his thrown. “Very well everyone leave us. Now!” He ordered as everyone left the thrown room.

The last one to leave closed the doors.

“Answer me Aion why didn’t you tell me my father was king Ramo?! Why have you been lying to me?! Telling me that I am you’re daughter! That my mother was a werewolf when she was a human! Answer me! I order you as Chikane Himemiya the daughter of Ramo and true heir to the thrown!” Chikane ordered still glaring at him.

Aion just kept his smirk as he looked at the angry young werewolf. “It’s true I have been lying to you but it was all to keep you safe think about it. You had lost your memory you only knew that you’re name was Chikane that was it you could not take over the thrown. And if you knew the truth it would have put you endanger.” Aion sighed as he noticed Chikane was still glaring at him.

“Then if that was your only reason why didn’t you tell me when I got older?!” Chikane ordered. “Easy your mind is clouded I knew if I would have told you. You would demand to take the thrown and right now that will not be the best thing for you.” Aion sighed.“And why’s that?” Chikane asked her voice still calm and cold.

“I know you’re in love with that human! That’s the only way you could have gotten your memories back. In order to protect you you’re father asked you’re human mother to put a spell on you. It was only to break once you found your mate. If you take over now you will free all the slaves! That will not work so well for our kind!” Aion grinned as Chikane was still glaring at him.

“And why is that?!” Chikane asked.

“Easy the humans would attack us! They hate all of us for in slaving them in the first place to free them would be suicide!” Aion yelled. “My father was going to free them and they weren’t going to attack us. They where just happy about being free he had my mother walk around town with me a lot to see how the other humans where acting and they never once looked like they were going to attack!” Chikane pointed out.

“Then how did you’re father die and why would they try to kill your mother and you?” Aion asked. Chikane glared at him again. “It wasn’t humans who did it! There where werewolves who didn’t want the humans to be free they are the ones who attacked and killed my family!” Chikane snapped at him as she slowly calmed her self down.

“And you know this how?” Aion asked. “I remember seeing who attacked! Those eyes didn’t belong to humans! Werewolves killed my parents and left me for dead! Aion you’re eyes look like the ones I saw!” Chikane noticed as Aion smirked.

“Well no surprise since I was there after all. I was the leader of the werewolves who attacked the Himemiya family.” Aion snapped as Tsubasa and Girochi went and jumped onto Chikane. They quickly chained Chikane’s arms and her hands behind her back.

They kept her pinned to the ground.

Dammit! Silver chains! Chikane thought as she could feel her skin burning. “Now then I’m sure you have more questions to ask right Chikane?” Aion asked with an evil smirk. Chikane just glared at him with her ice cold royal blue eyes.

Meanwhile.

Himeko was now awake and dressed and was sitting on the bed waiting for Chikane to come back.

Chikane looked so sad last night. She said it was nothing but I know she was lying. She said that her father was the king before Aion. This means Aion has been lying to Chikane since she was 10. He knew everything but he didn’t tell her I’m sure Chikane is feeling lost and angry so she must be talking with Aion about it. Himeko sighed as she lowered her head.

I wish I could help her somehow. Himeko thought as she stood that way. Soon after the door opened and Himeko looked to see Souma and Makoto. They came inside and locked the door again.

Makoto went and sat down next to Himeko who was confused. “You’re alright.” Makoto sighed with relief as she went and hugged Himeko. Himeko was even more confused as she returned the hug.

Makoto soon let go and pulled away.

“Umm Mako why wouldn’t I be alright?” Himeko asked as Souma was watching the door. “It’s weird but some werewolves just started attacking Souma and me while we where on are way here. The door was locked but good thing Souma remembered where Arashi would hide the key.” Makoto sighed as they all soon froze as they heard growling by the door.

“No one move.” Souma whispered as the werewolf outside the door was sniffing around and still growling. Makoto was holding Himeko tightly in her embrace. Souma was getting ready to change into his werewolf form if he needed to.

The werewolf kept sniffing until they all froze a howl was heard and the werewolf ran off. “This is bad something must be happening. That werewolf is tracking all of our scents and the howl orders it to leave and report to the king.” Souma sighed as Himeko and Makoto slowly relaxed.

“We should get going.” Makoto said as she was going to get up. “No we can’t leave without Chikane!” Himeko yelled as she soon froze noticing what she just said. “Who’s Chikane?” Makoto asked. Himeko didn’t answer all she did was lower her head.

“O you mean Arashi huh?” Souma asked.

Himeko lifted her head and looked at Souma. “When I first saw Arashi after the attack I thought he looked so much like Chikane the king’s daughter and my close friend. I had asked him once if he was Chikane he laughed at me for it but it did help us become friends.” Souma laughed at the thought of it.

“You must have seen a picture of Chikane and thought the same thing I did huh?” Souma asked. “Yeah sorry.” Himeko smiled as she sighed. Thank goodness. Himeko thought as Souma soon snapped back to the real world.

“In any case we should just stay here. Arashi’s room is the safest place to be if there was ever an attack.” Souma noticed Makoto and Himeko looking at him confused.

“Since this is the room of the prince Aion made sure it would be the safest room in the palace. It would take forever for anyone to get in here. We will be safe in this room. By the way Himeko where is Arashi?” Souma asked just noticing Chikane wasn’t in the room.

“He was gone when I woke up. I don’t know where he is but I think he might have gone to see the king about something.” Himeko lowered her head as Souma sighed. “Well at lest he’s with his father.” Souma said as they all sat down and started talking about what there next move would be.

Meanwhile.

“Why?!” Chikane asked as she ended up closing her left eye from the burning pain the chains where giving her.

“It’s simple I didn’t want anything to change. Your father wanted to change the whole kingdom and make things better for his mate and you. But I wasn’t for it and neither where a lot of the others. We attacked and killed Ramo and that human before the law was past after the attack I took over and got ride of it.” Aion smirked.

“Why didn’t you kill me?! You must have known who I was?!” Chikane asked her voice still calmly cold. “Yes I did but then I thought you would be alright to keep alive since you didn’t remember anything and besides I scare all the ladies away and needed an heir.” Aion looked to see Chikane was past being in pain and was trying to get free.

“Why change my name to Arashi?” Chikane asked.

“Easy I needed everyone to know you as Arashi and not think of you as Chikane. I couldn’t have the others who where loyal to the dead king asking about you.” Aion smirked as a guard entered and went to Aion.

“My king we have found the ones you want. They locked themselves in Arashi’s room.” The guard said as Chikane smirked. “I see. I’ll deal with it myself.” Aion said as the guard bowed and left the room.

“You planed this?” Aion asked.

“I thought you might do something to me since I remembered so I wanted to make sure the others where safe.” Chikane answered still smirking at him.

“So much like him. In any case they can’t stay in there forever and when they come out I will get them. In the mean time I leave you to the care of Reiko and Korona.” Aion sighed as he snapped and Korona and Reiko appeared in font of him down on one knee.

“Girochi and Tsubasa with me. As for you two watch Arashi make sure he stay’s here.” Aion ordered as he started walking to the doors. Girochi and Tsubasa followed as soon as they closed the door Reiko and Korona ran to Chikane’s side.

“Arashi you alright?” Korona asked as they looked at the burn marks. “I’ve been better.” Chikane smirked as Korona was going to touch the chains. “Let me.” Reiko said as Korona nodded and Reiko started taking off the chains. Once they where off they all sat down.

“Good thing I had my cape on or it would be much worse. How are your hands Reiko?” Chikane asked as she looked at her teachers. “There fine don’t worry about it Chikane.” Reiko smirked as Chikane froze and looked at them surprised.

“But how did you two?” Chikane asked.

“Give us some credit Chikane we where after all you’re fathers two generals. You don’t think we would have known his daughter.” Korona smiled. “So you both have known this whole time?” Chikane asked.

“Not the whole time.” Korona sighed. “It was when Himeko was by you’re side. We noticed that you where Chikane.” Reiko smirked. “I see. Thanks you guys but we have to get going they’ll need help.” Chikane said as they all got up.

“We can’t leave through the doors knowing Aion he would have put guards around this room.” Reiko sighed. “Well there’s always up.” Chikane grinned as they all looked up and smirked.

Later.

“Hey little bro open up!” Tsubasa yelled as Souma was now standing and growling.

“Hell no! Tell me Tsubasa why are you after us?!” Souma yelled. “Arashi is out of control we need you all to calm him down!” Tsubasa yelled back. “I don’t believe you! Arashi would never go out of control!” Souma yelled.

“Fine it’s only a matter of time before we get you all.” Tsubasa yelled as he went and was at Aion’s side. “Dammit! He knows we can only go so long without food or water!” Souma growled as he went back to the girl’s sides.

“Is there no way out of this Souma?” Makoto asked she was still holding Himeko close. “Not that I can see.” Souma sighed. “Man Souma you’ve lost your touch!” A voice yelled as they all looked up and down jumped Reiko, Korona, and Chikane.

“I can’t believe you forgot about the ceilings vents. Remember how much fun it was to play in them.” Chikane smirked. As Souma looked both confused and happy. Makoto let Himeko go as Himeko looked and without really thinking got up and hugged Chikane was caught off guard again but smiled and returned the hug.

“Sorry Himeko.” Chikane whispered.

They soon let go of each other. “I’m glad you’re alright.” Himeko smiled. “Umm Arashi I don’t remember playing in the vents with you? So how did you know they where fun?” Souma asked.

“Come on Souma think how would I know that.” Chikane smirked. Souma froze and smiled. “No way Chikane?” Souma asked happily hoping he was right.

“The one and only.” Chikane happily answered as Souma looked like he wanted to hug her but stopped himself remembering what happened the last time he tried to hug her.

“So Reiko and Korona will be helping us?” Souma asked. “Yes and we have to find a way to deal with Aion before we run out of time.” Chikane answered as they all looked at the door.
