AN: Took me a year to upload the final chapter of this story. So much has happened, first off I would like to apologize for such a late upload. I lost my phone, my email got blocked and all of my drafts were gone. I just recovered all of these documents recently and decided to upload this long-awaited final chapter. So much for a cliff-hanger! 'Scuse for all the rambling, read on!

CHAPTER 8

Waiting

"Sadaharu, stay."

Kagura silenced her dog with a pat on its fur and turned to face at their third company. Her eyes widened and her breathe hitched when she met the same blue eyes with her genetic build up.

Her brother Kamui strode towards them. How the hell could her moronic brother choose to walk in at the most inappropriate time? Panic rose within her. The rational part of her mind tried to subside her shock.

"Kamui.. I was just on my way.. "

Her words fumbled while her voice tensed up like there was a lump stuck on her throat as she spoke. She wanted to yell at him to get lost. But she couldn't help feel uncomfortable. How long has he been there? Not long enough to witness everything right? She prayed silently to no one in particular.

"Little sister, you were taking long enough. I thought you already changed your mind."

Kamui stood a few feet away from them and flashed his characteristic fake smile at her. She didn't notice that she was holding her breathe. She tried to search any indication that he had seen her being a bit too tight, in one way or the other, with the other sadist. But she couldn't figure out anything beneath that two-faced beam.

"Wait, aren't you Mr. Policeman? I didn't know you were close with my little sister. Did you come to say goodbye?"

He regarded the man next to her like it was the first time he noticed his presence. Calm blue eyes matched fervent red ones. Kagura felt uneasy and she gripped her parasol subtly. These guys had a history after all. She looked back and forth at the two young men in front of her.

The sadist looked unfazed and he was back to his lackadaisical, uncaring self. But there was a fire in his eyes that was not left incognizant to both Yatos. She didn't know how he was able to stand upright at the moment but he looked like he managed just fine. Kamui on the otherhand was cool and composed yet Kagura knew he could launch a fatal assault in less than a heartbeat.

"No, I came to stop her from leaving."

Kagura froze. What the hell was this bastard talking about? She was not sure when his maniac brother was thinking. But with the sadist's state, he could be sent flying in one flick of Kamui's fingers. The atmosphere was thick and the air felt noxious to breathe in.

He saw us.

The idea dawned darkly in the young girl's mind. Her instincts was on high alert for any signal of aggression between the two men. She was not sure if she could successfully get in between if her older brother decided to slaughter any man who dared touched his younger sister in his presence.

Sougo was tense. He hated the fact that he was out of commission at the moment. He had wanted to cross swords with the Yato ever since he saw him on earth a few days before. Yet they never had a chance for a stand-off since the war was going on.

"Kamui, I'm still going. Don't listen to this bastard. He means nothing to me."

Sougo felt like someone stabbed him in the gut and it was a hundred times worse than waking up after a coma. Seriously,China? He thought in his mind and hoped that some strange kooky outside forces would allow him to communicate with the girl telepathically. Even if he knew she only tried to cover up his invigorating retort, that didn't help when she said it too straightforward and openly. Did he really not mean anything to the China girl? After all those years of endless match offs and dispute, did he really not leave any impression to his noted rival?

It irked him, and it provoked him further to meet the eyes of his rival's male Chinese copy. He stood across him with a beam, but with another mix of neurotic sister complex as his younger sister took his side literally. Sougo's face was absent of any emotion. It made him look more menacing and sadistical. His idiosyncratic calm could make a child cry and go home shrieking. Being the prince of sadists was written all over his face.

"Go home sadist. Suck mayonnaise from Hijikata's breasts or something."

The girl tried to detached himself from the sadist coldly. He wouldn't mind anyway, she thought. They had always regarded each other in the same manner. It was better to leave things as it was on earth. She could only hope that things would be the same when she cameback or if she could. She'll find a way to comeback whatever happens.

She nudged her older brother and ushered him to get moving. Thankfully, her brother obliged. They were going in their father's airship. She left the sandy haired young man who stood complacently as he watched them leave.

Two individuals cloaked in heavy artillery parasol stood in front of make-shift graves. There was a light drizzle back in the Yato's home planet. It was nothing new in the place where the rain never let up.

Burying their father did not take long since they possesed the most maniacal strength in the entire universe. Now there lied two stone graves at the edge of the cliff where their mother was first buried. Their was a bunch of pink flowers strung together on the ground, the ones their mother once liked, as an offering. Suprisingly, Kamui was the first to regard their deceased parents.

"Mother, stupid father, your youngest girl here found herself an earthling boyfriend."

It was the first time Kagura's older brother mentioned anything about their final episode back in earth. She had expected him to say anything about what happened during their trip but he took his time while mentally torturing and unnerving her with innocent smiles and pats in the back. Anybody who could have been watching would think that it was a nice redeemed brother-sister relationship they had formed, not to think that it was some sort of sign of unverbal mockery only they had shared. She had been wise not to cut any retort to his brother otherwise that would prove her to be guilty of whatever idiotic ideas he had in mind.

"He is not my boyfriend you moron. Save me the teasing, will you? Besides, it's not my fault nobody would like an idiot like you."

"What gave you the idea that I wanted stupid things like love, little sister? I don't need a rag doll that could die when I pick a whole right through its body. It would be wiser to forget that weakling Kagura. I could kill that guy anytime."

He said all of these threats with a smile on his face. She was vexed but tried to contain herself in front of their parents graves.

"Kamui, if you touch him or any other people back in earth, then our deal is off. You know I only came with you because I had conditions."

She was dead serious now. Kamui did come to help them salvage the planet from plausible extinction but that doesn't absolve him of his crimes. She could never put her trust fully to a psychopath like him so she struck him a deal. She would come with him to space in order to save her friends' lives in earth.

"I know, little sister. I wouldn't even think about bringing you along in the first place if there isn't something that I needed from a weakling like you. But if I see that bastard taking advantage of you again, so then I wouldn't hesitate to kill him."

He looked at her more seriously this time even though his tone did not suggest it.

"He won't, Kamui. And besides, we both need him alive. He was the only person who saw how Papi killed that Utsuro. If our aim is to kill more space voids like him in the universe, then we would need the information, yes? "

He nodded at her and stared back at the graves in front of them.

"I know that's why I still haven't killed him. You gave him the drug, right? That was supposed to surpress his memories for the mean time. We wouldn't want him or anybody to find out about our identity. The whole universe will have their eyes on us. We can't have that, can we?"

She couldn't help but nod. Her faced slightly grimaced. Yes, she had drugged the sadist the night before she left earth. She reminded herself that it was for his own safety. The sadist would soon be playing a big part on their journey, since he was a key part to all of this intriguing case about their bloodline. She was happy she was able to keep him and all of her friends back on earth alive.

But the story was still starting, and the storm was slightly brewing. Overheaded clouds cackled with fear and thunder. Two young yatos in search of their interesting secret prowress due to their mismatched bloodlines will soon traverse the universe. And that would be another story.
