Teiko lifted her head, aware of the childish squeals and laughter made by the other two girls. She set her dark gaze onto the younger cousins, watching them from the shadows beneath a tree. Her mouth opened slowly as she yawned, listening to the girls continue with their hand game of some sort. She pulled her arms up from her sides, crossing them over her chest, her back pressed against the rough bark behind her. Her gaze shifted, moving onto her father, who conversed with his brothers. She supposed they were his brothers, as he said they were, but she didn't quite know how to take this. She and her father had been alone until now, when they had come to Earth. She quickly turned herhead, feeling a slight tug on her tail. A low growl surfaced from her throat, her eyes set onto the tiny saiya-jin at her feet. She pulled up her tail, wrapping it around her waist, keeping her eyes on the youngster.
"Your name's Tey.." The child stopped for a moment, deep in thought.
"Tey..Tey.."
"Teiko."
"Yeah! I knew that!"
"Sure you did." Teiko turned her head to the side, her eyes now shut.
"Tei-Lei-Ko-Ko!" The other child rang out, still seated in her spot from before. Teiko muttered under her breath, pushing the cild who clung to her boots away, sending her into a slow roll. As she set her foot back down, she felt a slight pressure against the top of her head. Her eyes snapped open into a glare, then softened as she looked up at the person beside her. He messed with her hair, then pulled his hand down to his side.
"Hey Dad.."
"Hey." Tao Ji smiled down at her, then pulled her up onto his shoulders. Teiko crossed her arms over the top of his head, setting her head atop them. Her tail dropped from her waist, brushing up against his back.
"What do you think of your cousins?"
"Great..Wonderful people." Her voice was dripping with sarcasm, but he didn't seem to notice.

She had me her extended family all in one day, after believing it was only her and her father in their family. How wrong she was. As far as she heard, the three brothers had been separated by their father, Puma. Her father talked of what he could remember of him, which didn't seem like much to her, but he would answer all her questions. The only parts she really retained was that Puma was the son of Burorri, and they had a direct bloodline from him as legendary saiya-jins. From what she was told from her father, he had to wear bands to control the fluctuations of his power, as much as it could. He told her that they wouldn't help her much at all, so they didn't bother to try to find any for her.
In her family, as of now, there was herself, her father Tao Ji and his brothers, Kamuy and Kastuko. They also had their own daughters, Rose and Usagi. Kamuy's daughter was Rose, who was the youngest of the group. She was smaller then the rest, up to about Teiko's waist, and was presumed to be the weakest, as of her age and size by Teiko's view. Her image mirrored her father's in a smaller, feminine way. Kamuy was far shorter tan Tao Ji, partly because he was around eight feet in height. Kamuy's hair was slightly long in length, cut at around his jawline. Usagi, Kastuko's daughter, was the..energetic one of the bunch, though that's an understatement. Her dark hair was held up in pigtails, wrapped with bows around each one. Bows seemed to consist most of her outfit, even attached to the end of her tail. She wore a dress which poofed around her thighs, which Teiko thought looked quite odd. Kastuko had dark, short cut hair, and a built body as each brother did.

She had been set down again, she didn't know since when. Her mind was too engrossed in her own thoughts to notice. She shook her head, regaining her conciousness, realizing her father hand walked off a bit while the two girls resumed their hand game. She soon realized that it wasn't that, it was actually Rose trying to smack Usagi, but Usagi happily treated it as a game, which annoyed Rose, encouraging her to continue. Kastuko and Kamuy were quiet, watching over the two girls. She lifted her gaze, setting her eyes back onto Tao Ji, who was standing off to the side, quiet, unusually quiet. She felt a sugre of energy pass her, moving like a wave, pushing her against the tree. Her two uncles lifted their heads towards him, slightly concerned with where the enery came from. The two younger girls were pushed over with another oncoming wave, slightly stronger than the first. The looked around, then up to their fathers, who were watching Tao Ji closely. Teiko edged forward, confused by her father's actions, Rose tagging along beside her. Usagi wandered over to Kastuko, who pulled her away from the area, keeping her from harm. Her bark was worse than her bite, as she had heard from her uncles, which has gotten her in alot of trouble. Rose edged up in front of Teiko as Tao Ji's hair spiked upwards, changing to a golden as he kept in his spot, his back turned to them.
"Uncle Tao Ji..?" Rose pattered closer to him, but Teiko reached forward, grabbing onto the back of her shirt, holding her from advancing further. She struggled a bit, but stopped as she heard the tone of her uncle's voice.
"What!?" He yelled, turning his body around towards them, glaring down that the two.
"I mean..what is it.."
Rose stumbled back a bit more, moving behind Teiko while they she looked up, confused. She had never seen her father act this way, only against enemies who attacked them. Is this how you were supposed to act with family?
Bolts of chi began to sugre through the area, as Kastuko returned, Kamuy approaching his daughter, He picked her up in his arms, the chi begining to strike the ground about them. Kamuy shielded any oncoming chi from his daughter, moving from them the best her could. Teiko tilted her head to the side, confused with her dad's actions. His hair continued to flutter slowly, his teeth grinding together as he seemed to struggle to keep himself together. His energy skyrocketed, his aura picking up around his body, shooting up into the sky above them, which had changed to an unusual dark, stormy color. His eyes opened slowly, revealing the bluish green color, then fading away, leaving his eyes with a blank look.
