chapter 9:I want this one.
Kogome took the little Inuyasha-looking pup to Rakuba."I want this one Rakuba." Kogome said."Alright Kogome but this is the
runt of the litter.Maybe this little fella will not live as long or get all that big or even act right.Are you sure?"
"I'm positive.I don't care.I want this one.""O.k but I'm warning you now.After I take these guys home I need to tell you
something very very important.I understand if you hate me after that.And there is something special about these dogs as well.
Rakuba then did an odd thing.He jumped some heck of distance and kept doing so.After about five minutes or so he came hopping
back down the street his ponytail flopping up and down as he flew through the air.He took Kogome by the hand,slung her on his back
and jumped as far as heck until he landed on the beach."Scootch back a bit please."Kogome scootched down his back a little.slowly
but surely damp black fuzzy wings sprouted from his back."Take hold of the bottom of my wings Kogome."she did as told.Rakuba jumped into
the air and takes off.Afew moments later the Demon island comes into veiw.He swoops down(Still with dogs and box of puppies)
and lands on the porch of a cute house made of grass and sticks.He put Kogome down and walks in."GUYS I'M HOME!!"
Rakuba shouts."Rakuba!I missed you!" Star came in and hugged Rakuba around the waist.Shippo waddled behind her and jumped into
Kogome's arms.Kiko was leaning against one side of the doorway."So Rakuba was there anything interesting about your
studies?" Said Kiko."Not really."Kogome squinted a bit.A boy that looked exactly like Kiko was scarfing down his break-fast.
Long silver hair,green eyes,blue kimono,and same skin tone.....he was just like Kiko only a boy."Hey Kogome
*Says very slowly* I'm over here Ka go me."Said Rakuba.When she looked in Rakuba's direction there
were 3 new people standing beside him.(Marook was at home and not at Kogome's house)."Kogome this
is Anakin,Zentei,and Kazu." Said Rakuba pointing to each person as he named them off."I thought their names
were Marook,Autumn,and Duke." said Kogome."That was their undercover code names." replied Rakuba.
Anakin was a calm quiet boy with short blonde hair and large blue eyes that glimmered
with a tint of curiosity in them,Zentei was a jumpy girl with curly long brown hair with blonde highlights
and her odd eyes (One purple and one green) flashing in the light,and Kazu was a nice looking
girl with long wavy black hair and odd markings on her fingers with beautiful golden eyes."We are all good friends
of the Yashas.I was a friend after Inuyasha was born and Zentei and Anakin were friends before Inuyasha was born."
said Kazu."By the way someone you might want to see is in the guest bedroom." said Star.
"Right down at the end of the hall to your right." said Rakuba.Kogome followed the directions and found
Inuyasha snoozing in a bed.His hair floating up as he breathed.He was covered in bruises,cuts and gashes.
"He went to the demon fighting balooza and was not all that prepared for it." said Rakuba as he stood in the doorway.
"So you and your family and even your pets are demons." said Kogome."Yup.You do not seem very excited or frightened."
Said Rakuba."mmmm." said Kogome as she looked at Inuyasha a final time before she left the room.
Kiko took her by the hand "Come dear you must be hungry." she said."Well I didn't have breakfast." Kogome said.
She sat down at the wooden table.There was a strange dark looking man sitting in front of her.Kogome turned another way.
She saw pictures hanging on the wall."That one was mom and uncle Kikoru when they were kids.Thats aunt Rena.
I never met her.Mom said she died a long time ago.That one is uncle Shesshoumaru.Doesn't look very nice to me.
That was uncle Inuyasha when he was little.And that is me when I was 5.And that is Star when she was born.Thats me
in the backround.That one is Star when she was 8 with Chakitalei,Saluna,and Malaykia.Pretty cool huh?"said Rakuba pointing to
each one.Kogome saw one he did not point out.2 very young people.A girl and a 2 year old boy.
Inuyasha and Rena.They both looked so happy it seemed that they would explode with childish joy.Inuyasha
looked very different.I mean he still had faint amber eyes and long silver hair....but his eyes seemed so much softer
and he was laughing.It was very rare to even see Inuyasha smile let alone laugh.If only he could be like that at least some of
the time.Kogome wanted to go outside.She headed for the door.Rakuba suddenly jumped in front of her."What
in the name of Reko are you thinking!You can't go out there whithout me!They will eat you alive!Those people out there are
very wary towards humans!""Sorry." said Kogome."Oh I almost forgot.A buddy of mine,well,his baby sister was to be
babysat by me.But me and my buddy have a problem that we need to attend to.And his mom and dad need to go out
somewhere.So would you do the honer?" Said Rakuba."I don't know I mean,how the heck do you take care of a baby demon!"
Said Kogome a little nervous."Well it is like taking care of a human baby only you have to deal with the fuzz,the
demon features and her changing back and forth from demon to wolf pup." said Rakuba laughing slightly.
"Well I have to get home anyway...." said Kogome.She did not want to be alone with a demon even a baby.She was
used to Inuyasha and some of his wacky family.But this was just odd."Well just give your mom a call and tell her where
you are.And me and my bud won't be gone long.And I'll send Star with you in case you forget how to take care of the baby.
Please!!" He turned into a dog and looked up at her with the biggest brown eyes you have ever seen.He looked
like one of those precious moment ceramic dogs.He started to whine and whimper and those eyes just got bigger.
"Mmmmmm.O.k you just look so cute." said Kogome.He changed back and said "Normally around here that never works!They just
live across the street.I hope this is not sudden.And do you want Star to go with you?" Said Rakuba."No don't bring Star.
What is the baby's name anyway?" asked Kogome."Tilalu."(prounounced teh-la-loo)"He said."I better walk you over there
just in case o.k" They walked out the door and Kogome saw a beautiful world that looked like a neghborhood on a beach.
They walked across to another one of those cute houses only it was colered blue."Here you go.Tilalu should be in her
playpen.I am warning you now she may look cute but she is a monster!" said Rakuba.Kogome walked in.The house
smelled like incense.She looked to her side.A tiny girl in a pink jumper with teddy bears on it was
playing with her building blocks."Hello lil' thing." Said Kogome.She was just so cute and Kogome forgot she was a demon.
She looked up from her work and cooed."oo are you?" She asked cocking her head to one side.
"My name is Kogome." she said."Kagoome.I wike dat.My name Tiwawoo." she said grinning.She pointed at her stack of blocks.
"Dat da beech.Dat my house.Dat da big wawa.(She probably meant the ocean.)Dat is fessival.And dat is da biiiiiig
gate dat weads away from da place!" she said pointing to each of her messy piles of blocks in each place.
"I wanna pway!Will you pway aminal wit me?" She said clapping her hands.She turned in a wolf pup and started to
bounce about excitedly.Kogome picked her up and put her in her crib that she managed to find."I have captured you.
You are in the zoo now and it is feeding time." Said Kogome.Tilalu began to laugh wildly.As Kogome found the kitchen she fumbled in the drawers and such.Than the loudest most hurting howl she had ever heard drifted through the air.
"Koda!!!" yelled Tilalu as she waddled through the kitchen door."Koda?Who is Koda Tilalu." said Kogome.
"He is my brutter." She looked out the window.5 very large wolves came in front of a man who took white packages off their backs and put them on a long white table.Each one had a mark on their foreheads and had charm necklaces,They included
a heart,a lighting bolt,a moon,a star,and a sun.As soon as she turned around there was Rakuba standing in the doorway panting like a dog and blood was dripping on the floor."Kogome!I can't find Inuyasha!I there was,well get over here and see!Koda get in here and watch Tilalu!"
He grabbed Kogome and dragged her to the guestroom.There was a little blood on the bed."You see everything was quiet but then mom called me and told me Inuyasha started yelling and was tearing up stuff to get out and I rushed back here.I hurried into the bedroom and he was crazy.Since he was injured he was too weak to open or break the window or even open the door!I cast a demon spell that would attach him to the wall so he could calm down.As he was going mad his wounds reopened and he did that blades of blood stuff and gashed my arm quite bad!" he held up his arm and a very large cut was there and it was bleeding."Well I managed to complete the spell but as the spell chains wrapped around his wrists he yanked loose and that got his wrists quite badly.He picked up the lamp and went out the window and sharp busted glass got his sides and when I turned around I saw that!" He pointed to the wall and sharply engraved in the wall in blue....
I'm coming back home,little brother
"And I'm afraid if we don't find the whelp he will probably scrunch up and bleed to death.Kogome shuddered at the thought of finding the mangled remains of Inuyasha as he slowly bled to death with fear and pain in those cold amber eyes.She ran out of the room.Rakuba followed her."Rakuba.Take me home." She said."As you wish." He slung her on his back and flew back to Kogome's home.Souta ran out."Kogome!Come take a look at this!" He was so worried that he dragged Kogome inside.
Rakuba followed and ran in.The news was on.(Souta?Watching the news?)
In today's news an odd thing has happened.
A 'dog' man has been found in central park who seemed to have fainted from loss of blood.Scientists have taken him in and are studying him as we speak.More information at 11:00.Now heres Chimoran with the weather.
"Well.What are you waiting for.Let's go bust him out.I know memory spells that are strong enough to wipe out everyone's mind of anything to do with this." said Rakuba looking over her shoulder.She nodded.So off they went.Rakuba looked human again and Kogome walked beside him.When they got out of city limets Rakuba ripped of his sun cap and ruffled up his hair.Guess he likes being in his demon form.She knew what to do and got on his back.He flew off with his strong legs making thumping noises as he bounced through the woods.After a while as it got dark Kogome started to get cold as the temperature dropped.She shivered slightly.Rakuba felt this and landed.He put her down and started to make odd hand movements and then out of nowhere a bright red sweater appeared on the ground."Here.It will help you keep warm."Kogome slipped it on and felt a lot better.She got back on his back and they kept going.Kogome started to doze off as the wind felt great against her body."Here it is Kogome.The science labs." They apprached a very large white building.Rakuba landed quite roughly.The labs were on a large hill.It was more of a cliff really.(How ironic).Kogome was in awe at the large building.She tripped on a rock and slipped off the cliff falling and falling."KOGOME!" instantly Rakuba's wings shot out and he flew straight downward.As he got close to grabbing her foot a dark black figure swooped down and got a good grip on her and flew in a U turn back up.Rakuba was startled but he tried to get a scent but there was none."That's impossible." thought Rakuba.kogome looked up at her hero.It was a young woman.Her kimono and hair were black and she was deathly pale.Her black wings were a lot larger than any other demon's wings and her eyes were faint green.She finally got to the top of the ledge and when Kogome was gently down on a rock the figure hovered a bit and then she she floated through the lab wall.Rakuba got back up there."Who the heck was that!" Said Rakuba growling a bit."No time c'mon let's go!" said Kogome.Kogome walked toward the doors but saw it was identity activated.Rakuba walked beside her and slashed the tiny machine and the door opened.Kogome nodded approval and tiptoed in.Rakuba just walked in but made no sound."How are you able to do that?" she whispered.He shrugged."Never thought about it." he whispered back."Oh,well how are we going to find Inuyasha in such a big place?" Kogome whispered.Rakuba looked at her like she was an idiot and pointed to his nose."Oh sorry." All of the sudden his eyes snapped shut and he clutched his ears as tightly and he could and he held them so hard that they they started to bleed.He wanted to howl you could find it in his expression.He ran out still not making a sound.All of the sudden the figure came throuh a corridor and was holding Inuyasha in her arms.She slung him on her back and pointed to the floor and red letters were burned there.She then hopped through the ceiling.The letters read....
Kogome.He will be back at the demon island.I have other
things to attend to.
Rakuba stumbled in his ears dripping blood."Rakuba are you all right will you be fine??" asked Kogome."WHAT!!" yelled Rakuba."I SAID!!!ARE YOU GOING TO BE ALLRIGHT!!!" yelled Kogome."Yeah I'm fine just joking." He picked her up
and in just a couple of hours they landed on the sand.Kogome loved the beach.She wondered how perfect it would be to live there!She looked around.She saw a little shabby hut and a the figure of a small child was outside it being pelted with rocks by other kids.She ran over and shooed the other kids away."Were doing the ratsucker some good!" said one ."Yeah!She and her wimpy pals!" said another.Before they cleared out quickly.Rakuba had gone home.Kogome looked down at the girl.She had very long orange-red hair and the face of a cat.Her large cat ears were briused badly and one had a notch.She had long curled tail and small yet sharp claws.She had been knocked unconcious by the rocks.She started to stir.When her eyes had focused and saw herself in the arms of a human she screamed."Let me go let me go let me go!" she yelled while thrashing about.She squirmed free and ran by a large rock as she backed into it.kogome walked closer."Leave me alone!" She screamed between sobs.Then she broke out bawling all together.She looked pale sad and frightened.She made pushing gestures to try and keep Kogome from getting any closer."Ah crud!People back away.Ben is having a fit again!Where is Ankora we sent her out to get rags and blankets and food hours ago!" Yelled a boys worried voice from the hut."Ben." The girl whispered.she jumped over Kogome and grabbed a package that she had dropped when she had been mauled.She then ran inside.Kogome ran to the hut and looked in the window.The first thing she saw were 5 little children with tattered clothes,miserable expressions,bruises and scars on them everywhere and some had notches in their ears as well.Kogome saw an odd looking boy that looked at least 3 twitching and making gurgling noises through his nose as he screamed in agony clutching his head.he had a long tail with a triangle shaped club at the end and large brown wings and tawney brown hair.He has fuzzy brown dog ears and purple eyes as well as sharp spikes down his back.He was writhing in pain and he started to cry."Darn it!Where is Orm when you need im'!" Yelled Ancora.kogome felt a sharp tapping on her shoulder and turned around to see and medium sized boy who looked like a wolf trying to turn human but stopped in the middle of the transformation."Excuse me miss but I believe I am needed in there." H e had a deep and calm voice with his brown eyes staring at her waiting for her to move.Kogome stepped aside and the odd fellow walked inside stooping a little so his large ears would not scrape the top of the doorway.He walked but slightly ran over.He made odd hand gestures his big odd ears pricked up and his eyes started to flash and as soon as he blasted the child with the ray he instanly stopped twitching and his last tear of pain had fell.He sat up and broke out smiling overcome with emotion and latched onto his leg and started to cry with gratefulness."So he has the power of healing.How useful." Kogome thought.Rakuba leaned out his door and yelled "Hey!Kogome!Ya want dinner or are you o.k standing there famished!".Kogome took one last look at the ragged little building and ran to the door.When kogome got in Rakuba sat her down at the table.The dark looking man that was there earlier busted through the door carrying a large bag on his back.Kiko came by and took it off his back and scurried to the kitchen.The man had knocked the door off it's hinges and he pointed to the door and lifting it without touching it and gently put it back in place."Com on.Let's eat in my room.That is the only place with a t.v."said Rakuba as they got their food.It was an orange-red meat."What is this." Said Kogome."Carabou." said Rakuba between chews.At the very mention of the word carabou.A sleepy Inuyasha limped through the door and at the table.He looked down at his meal and grabbed the salt.He was quite sleepy and didn't realize how much salt he putting on it."Would you like some meat with your salt Inuyasha?" Said Kikoru as he snickered slightly.Kogome picked up her dish and followed Rakuba to his bedroom.They sat down on a bed of furs and switched on the t.v and watched paperveiw movies."Rakuba.When we got here I noticed a girl who got a lot of attention.She was being pelted by rocks by other kids." Said Kogome."What did this girl look like?" asked Rakuba."Well she had red hair and resembled a cat.She was with a bunch of other kids who called her Ancora." She said."Oh.Well she and her buds live there in that tiny shack.They never get any food or good clothes and are always getting pummeled by other people.Countless people try to help them but they never accept food or decent clothes and never ivitations to other peoples homes.They never defend themselves and are always running and hiding from their problems." explained Rakuba."why do people treat them like that when they are only kids!It's just plain wrong!" Exclaimed Kogome slamming her fist on the nightstand."Well they are half-breeds or at least mixed.People don't exacly encourage that around here.Orm is their only docter that they have.He is dog demon,human and wolf demon mix and he has healing powers that he developed from his mom who was a perfect healer.His parents were killed in a battle to protect him when he was a infant.And the weird thing is is that when people try to hurt him he is always unaffected and it's like he is unvunerable.Ancora is a half breed cat demon and her origin is unknown.Then there is Ben.Aw gosh the poor kid!He has dragon,dog demon,human,wolf demon,and a bit of cat in him.You see he suffers from a thing called 'mixed vunerability' .The affects are that,well, he has so many instincts and dreams and hopes and powers that his mind goes kaplooie and he has all sorts of siezures and fits and they have to get Orm in there to help him." He hung his head low in sympathy and then his head shot up and his ears were perked and twitching in all directions."Kogome.Do you hear that?" He whispered.Kogome listened hard and heard a low rumbling.Rakuba shot over to the window and tore the blind to open and looked outside."The MSD." he whispered in a worried tone as he ran out the door spilling his chips.Kogome followed.As they got in the living room they heard Star scream.Rakuba slammed the door open and ran outside.The sight they saw was 15 or so white tigers and Star was lying in a puddle of blood as she lay there."Is she...." said Kogome."No I can hear her breathing.But these Zera Vas (Zera Va is a word of the demon language that is supposed to mean a cruel and very good insult.) will shiver under the mention of the name Rakuba Kira Tarez!" He said.Kogome looked over at the really ticked off Rakuba.She could see it in his eyes that he was ready to rip and kill anything that moved and it was probably going to include a bunch of white tigers that were looking at them.He was really showing emotion and affection for his younger sibling and was never going to fail these duties as a big brother again.

Flashbacks
Kogome took the little Inuyasha-looking pup to Rakuba."I want this one Rakuba." Kogome said."Alright Kogome but this is the
runt of the litter.Maybe this little fella will not live as long or get all that big or even act right.Are you sure?"
"I'm positive.I don't care.I want this one.""O.k but I'm warning you now.After I take these guys home I need to tell you

She said."As you wish." He slung her on his back and flew back to Kogome's home.Souta ran out."Kogome!Come take a look at this!" He was so worried that he dragged Kogome inside.
Rakuba followed and ran in.The news was on.(Souta?Watching the news?)

They apprached a very large white building.Rakuba landed quite roughly.The labs were on a large hill.It was more of a cliff really.(How ironic).Kogome was in awe at the large building.She tripped on a rock and slipped off the cliff falling and falling."KOGOME!" instantly Rakuba's wings shot out and he flew straight downward.As he got close to grabbing her foot a dark black figure swooped down and got a good grip on her and flew in a U turn back up.Rakuba was startled but he tried to get a scent but there was none."That's impossible." thought Rakuba.kogome looked up at her hero.It was a young woman.Her kimono and hair were black and she was deathly pale.Her black wings were a lot larger than any other demon's wings and her eyes were faint green.She finally got to the top of the ledge and when Kogome was gently down on a rock the figure hovered a bit and then she she floated through the lab wall.Rakuba got back up there."Who the heck was that!" Said Rakuba growling a bit."No time c'mon let's go!" said Kogome.Kogome walked toward the doors but saw it was identity activated.Rakuba walked beside her and slashed the tiny machine and the door opened.Kogome nodded approval and tiptoed in.Rakuba just walked in but made no sound."How are you able to do that?" she whispered.He shrugged."Never thought about it." he whispered back."Oh,well how are we going to find Inuyasha in such a big place?" Kogome whispered.Rakuba looked at her like she was an idiot and pointed to his nose."Oh sorry." All of the sudden his eyes snapped shut and he clutched his ears as tightly and he could and he held them so hard that they they started to bleed.He wanted to howl you could find it in his expression.He ran out still not making a sound.All of the sudden the figure came throuh a corridor and was holding Inuyasha in her arms.She slung him on her back and pointed to the floor and red letters were burned there.She then hopped through the ceiling.The letters read....
Kogome.He will be back at the demon island.I have other
things to attend to.
Rakuba stumbled in his ears dripping blood."Rakuba are you all right will you be fine??" asked Kogome."WHAT!!" yelled Rakuba."I SAID!!!ARE YOU GOING TO BE ALLRIGHT!!!" yelled Kogome."Yeah I'm fine just joking." He picked her up
and in just a couple of hours they landed on the sand.Kogome loved the beach.She wondered how perfect it would be to live there!She looked around.She saw a little shabby hut and a the figure of a small child was outside it being pelted with rocks by other kids.She ran over and shooed the other kids away."Were doing the ratsucker some good!" said one ."Yeah!She and her wimpy pals!" said another.Before they cleared out quickly.Rakuba had gone home.Kogome looked down at the girl.She had very long orange-red hair and the face of a cat.Her large cat ears were briused badly and one had a notch.She had long curled tail and small yet sharp claws.She had been knocked unconcious by the rocks.She started to stir.When her eyes had focused and saw herself in the arms of a human she screamed."Let me go let me go let me go!" she yelled while thrashing about.She squirmed free and ran by a large rock as she backed into it.kogome walked closer."Leave me alone!" She screamed between sobs.Then she broke out bawling all together.She looked pale sad and frightened.She made pushing gestures to try and keep Kogome from getting any closer."Ah crud!People back away.Ben is having a fit again!Where is Ankora we sent her out to get rags and blankets and food hours ago!" Yelled a boys worried voice from the hut."Ben." The girl whispered.she jumped over Kogome and grabbed a package that she had dropped when she had been mauled.She then ran inside.Kogome ran to the hut and looked in the window.The first thing she saw were 5 little children with tattered clothes,miserable expressions,bruises and scars on them everywhere and some had notches in their ears as well.Kogome saw an odd looking boy that looked at least 3 twitching and making gurgling noises through his nose as he screamed in agony clutching his head.he had a long tail with a triangle shaped club at the end and large brown wings and tawney brown hair.He has fuzzy brown dog ears and purple eyes as well as sharp spikes down his back.He was writhing in pain and he started to cry."Darn it!Where is Orm when you need im'!" Yelled Ancora.kogome felt a sharp tapping on her shoulder and turned around to see and medium sized boy who looked like a wolf trying to turn human but stopped in the middle of the transformation."Excuse me miss but I believe I am needed in there." H e had a deep and calm voice with his brown eyes staring at her waiting for her to move.Kogome stepped aside and the odd fellow walked inside stooping a little so his large ears would not scrape the top of the doorway.He walked but slightly ran over.He made odd hand gestures his big odd ears pricked up and his eyes started to flash and as soon as he blasted the child with the ray he instanly stopped twitching and his last tear of pain had fell.He sat up and broke out smiling overcome with emotion and latched onto his leg and started to cry with gratefulness."So he has the power of healing.How useful." Kogome thought.Rakuba leaned out his door and yelled "Hey!Kogome!Ya want dinner or are you o.k standing there famished!".Kogome took one last look at the ragged little building and ran to the door.When kogome got in Rakuba sat her down at the table.The dark looking man that was there earlier busted through the door carrying a large bag on his back.Kiko came by and took it off his back and scurried to the kitchen.The man had knocked the door off it's hinges and he pointed to the door and lifting it without touching it and gently put it back in place."Com on.Let's eat in my room.That is the only place with a t.v."said Rakuba as they got their food.It was an orange-red meat."What is this." Said Kogome."Carabou." said Rakuba between chews.At the very mention of the word carabou.A sleepy Inuyasha limped through the door and at the table.He looked down at his meal and grabbed the salt.He was quite sleepy and didn't realize how much salt he putting on it."Would you like some meat with your salt Inuyasha?" Said Kikoru as he snickered slightly.Kogome picked up her dish and followed Rakuba to his bedroom.They sat down on a bed of furs and switched on the t.v and watched paperveiw movies."Rakuba.When we got here I noticed a girl who got a lot of attention.She was being pelted by rocks by other kids." Said Kogome."What did this girl look like?" asked Rakuba."Well she had red hair and resembled a cat.She was with a bunch of other kids who called her Ancora." She said."Oh.Well she and her buds live there in that tiny shack.They never get any food or good clothes and are always getting pummeled by other people.Countless people try to help them but they never accept food or decent clothes and never ivitations to other peoples homes.They never defend themselves and are always running and hiding from their problems." explained Rakuba."why do people treat them like that when they are only kids!It's just plain wrong!" Exclaimed Kogome slamming her fist on the nightstand."Well they are half-breeds or at least mixed.People don't exacly encourage that around here.Orm is their only docter that they have.He is dog demon,human and wolf demon mix and he has healing powers that he developed from his mom who was a perfect healer.His parents were killed in a battle to protect him when he was a infant.And the weird thing is is that when people try to hurt him he is always unaffected and it's like he is unvunerable.Ancora is a half breed cat demon and her origin is unknown.Then there is Ben.Aw gosh the poor kid!He has dragon,dog demon,human,wolf demon,and a bit of cat in him.You see he suffers from a thing called 'mixed vunerability' .The affects are that,well, he has so many instincts and dreams and hopes and powers that his mind goes kaplooie and he has all sorts of siezures and fits and they have to get Orm in there to help him." He hung his head low in sympathy and then his head shot up and his ears were perked and twitching in all directions."Kogome.Do you hear that?" He whispered.Kogome listened hard and heard a low rumbling.Rakuba shot over to the window and tore the blind to open and looked outside."The MSD." he whispered in a worried tone as he ran out the door spilling his chips.Kogome followed.As they got in the living room they heard Star scream.Rakuba slammed the door open and ran outside.The sight they saw was 15 or so white tigers and Star was lying in a puddle of blood as she lay there."Is she...." said Kogome."No I can hear her breathing.But these Zera Vas (Zera Va is a word of the demon language that is supposed to mean a cruel and very good insult.) will shiver under the mention of the name Rakuba Kira Tarez!" He said.Kogome looked over at the really ticked off Rakuba.She could see it in his eyes that he was ready to rip and kill anything that moved and it was probably going to include a bunch of white tigers that were looking at them.He was really showing emotion and affection for his younger sibling and was never going to fail these duties as a big brother again.
