[Sadly, Hizamaru... can't argue with that. It would be very fun to be Higekiri, he thinks, but maybe only because he thinks so well of his big brother.]

Are you sure he's human...? [Not having a favorite drink, or any desires... Wow, that doesn't sound very human at all!] Maybe he only said that because he's an assassin, so he doesn't want you to know how strong he is.

[That's gotta be it, right.]

I'll be careful, elder brother. [The cursed energy of Illumi and Higekiri bonding over being big brothers.] I won't let him steal me, and I won't let him steal you either.

Did he say why he wanted you...?
