A loud thud, comes from Sora as he lands on the ground. After Hikari had kicked him off of her. She didn't quite understand why, but being in that position, and seeing Soras reaction, she couldn't help but feel... Angry?
Hikari and Sora now lay there on the road together, catching their breath. Any citizens on the street around them either frozen or hurt. Hikari stands and sends some "Light" into any humans that were hurt and had their souls eaten. Then undoes the "seal" that was preventing their movement. The streets continued on like nothing had ever happened. 
It is now late evening and Sora and Hikari are walking towards Soras home. 
<< So,  what'll happen to all those people that had their souls stolen?>>
Sora asked as they walked side by side. She answered 
<< They will continue on, slowly fading, until they no longer exist in this world. Leaving no remains, or any memories of them behind.>>
" That's just too sad " Sora thought for a moment before he quickly asked 
<< And that white monster ? He wasnt like the one from before or the others we faught .>>
Hikari kisses her teeth as she was about to explain.
<< And me? He said something like "I was some 'gift'?" A divine, something rather...? >>
Sora questioned trying to laugh, but having a unsettling feeling in his gut. Hikari stopped walking and went into deep thought. Sora took notice but then she lifted her head and with a very serious look replied 
<< Divine Canonist. It means, you are the thing us Divine Flames have been searching for-for many, many years. I knew you weren't human, but I never would have imagined that you were it.>> 
Sora throws his arms up, as he exclaims
<< You keep saying I'm not human! But I've lived my whole life as a human! I feel human. And what about my mom then!? >>
Hikari sighs as she answers
<< Of course you would. The Divine Canonist is a treasure, a tool if you will. Made by the lords to help us flames win our fight against the Goryo. They disguised it in human flesh and sent it here from the heavens. But no one has ever found the Divine Canonist. That's why we continue to fight the fight and protect the balance of humans. You're mother has probably never had a child, but believes she has. As her memories tell her so. This would also explain how you can move freely under a "seal".>>
Sora looking a little lifeless, whispers
<< No.. No way... M- my whole life... >>
Hikari looks at Sora uncomprehending his feelings right now. She doesn't know how to act. So she continues on their walk. Sora following shortly behind. Snapping out of his thoughts, he openly said
<< Hikari? Thank you by the way. You didn't have to but you rescued me back there. Actually, once I was caught.. You started fighting alot better? >> 
Hikaris eyes shot open and cheeks turned complete red as she barked
 << St- Stupid! I "HAVE" to protect you! That's my mission! >>
Sora was stroking his chin and looking up to the sky as he said in a curious tone
<< Oh? But you didn't even know what I was at that point? >>
Hikari shuts her eyes tight and runs ahead of Sora. She let out a little smile as she shouts out 
<< Shut up, shut up, shut up! >>
They eventually reached Soras house and Hikari had explained how she would keep watch on the roof for tonight, as she doesn't "need" sleep. And they should expect more troubles, to come looking for "the gift" from now on. Not to mention the evolved, white, Goryo they had encountered that got away. Sora glanced at Hikari with conviction in his eyes and said
<< Hikari. Teach me how to fight. >>
Hikaris heart started racing as she thought about herself and Sora fighting side by side. She gave Sora a firm nod and said
<< Okay. >>
