Chapter 6:Life and death...who will survive
Meanwhile back at the Tarez's house Rakuba was digging around in the hand dug basement.He was searching in a specific box that was full of kid/baby stuff.So far he had dug out a ragged,stuffed tiger (note chapter 14 in the first story),a completly chewed up binky (for those of you who have no idea what a binky is...it is a pacifier),and two old sweaters that were teen size and said 'my twin' with arrows pointing to the other sweater and on the bottom were big black K's.He kept digging through the other boring stuff and finally found a big ragged torn book...it was a photo album.He flipped through and found a family picture.....Rakuba was six years old and Star was still in daipers.His mother looked incredibly tired while out of breath.His father was not home and Rakuba was secretly holding a box of choco lax behind his back and Star was in her walker holding her binky and smiling that same smile she did now.It was an odd photograph.Oh did Rakuba remember that day well as he smiled evilly...

"NO!!" little Rakuba yelled.He was running through the house in his underwear.His mother was running after him with a brush."Come on Rakuba please at least get one swipe through your hair..." she pleaded."NO!I don't wanna!" he screamed back."Please we just want to take one family photo and thats it!" She kept reasoning"Look over there!Star had no problem getting some decent clothes on and having brushed hair for a family photo!And she's only a year old!She did'nt start running through the house yelling!" She spat.Rakuba stopped and turned around and said "Thats because she can't walk yet and has a binky in her mouth!" He said as he turned back around and continued running.Kikoru leaped from around a corner and wrestled Rakuba and forced some formal clothes onto him while his mother ran a brush through his hair having great difficulty because of all the tangles in his black locks.Star watched with wide eyes fearing her mother....let me rephrase that the object her mother was holding.She then looked at her own clothes and then her brother and thought that running and wrestling and screaming would be quite fun.She was very inquisitive but always copied her brothers actions.Ever since their mother had noticed this she was always lecturing Rakuba that he was a bad influence on Star.She kept telling him to behave wich unfortunately for his mother was like stopping time.So Star started wobbling and wrenched herself out of the walker and jumped out onto the floor.Did she cry?Of course not!Not only could she not cry if she wanted to on account of her binky but she was a strong child...demon blood in a baby was a good thing in that house.She grabbed ahold of the rim of her walker and started to pull herself up.She fell again but attempted the same stunt.She looked over at her uncle Kikoru...well to be specific his legs,and looked at her own short chubby baby legs and started to get the idea of balancing her weight and started standing...for the first time in her baby life....now to just let go of the walker.She took a deep little baby breath and with her little hands in the air realized that she was not on the ground on account of falling.She was standing and was smiling while still sucking her binky.Now for the hard part of the course...walking.She gathered up her strength and courage and lifted one leg and put it a tiny itty bitty bit farther than her other leg.She tried it again with her other foot.She started going farther and farther with her steps and then started walking.She decided to test this new ability without the help of her walker and fell down purpously.She bent her legs back and pushed herself up from the floor and walked back to her walker.She grabbed ahold of the rim again and then she decided to get running and jumping down.She stood up and remembered how her brother jumped and paying to his legs in her mind.So she looked down *suck* *suck* on her binky and bent her legs down.Then quickly pushed against the ground and did a little bunny hop.She would work on going higher and then she started walking.Now she started doing little jumps in her steps and started running slowly then she did it harder and was now running half the speed Rakuba was going when he ran.She already knew how to scream and she knew the word no quite well.So she started running through the house yelling no.Kiko was happy that her daughter knew a lot of new skills essential for her life ahead,but she was upset that she was copying her mischevious brother.She shot a death glare and Rakuba smiled innocently.
End flashback
Rakuba laughed and was having a swell old time and turned the page of the album.He saw a picture from when he was ten years old.He looked quite shaken and his eyes were humoungous with fear.He remembered that awful day quite vivedly as well.
Flashback
"But what if I don't wanna learn to fly!" Rakuba whined as his uncle was pushing him towards the edge of a cliff."Trust me kiddo once you learn you'll love it!" He reasoned."But what if I fall and die!" He said almost ready to cry."Thats impossible with me around!I'll just swoop down and we'll start over!" Rakuba did'nt want to say a word more.He looked over the edge of the cliff like a baby bird would as it poked over the rim of it's nest.Then came the part the baby bird and himself feared..........having being pushed over.He remembered all his uncle taught him about flying but his legs always shook when he thought about finally flying for real.He gulped and turned around and started to run but then Kikoru grabbed Rakuba by the scruff of his shirt.Kikoru then threw Rakuba over the edge of the cliff.He screamed so loud he felt dizzy.The bottom of the cliff came closer and closer.He closed his eyes and waited for his doom.Now as you know,well...you probably would not know what being pushed off a cliff could feel like unless you're a bungee jumper....well think about it anyways.You're waiting to crash into some jagged rocks off the bottom of a cliff.So whats one thing you do but don't notice?You scrunch your body and muscles.And you wanna know why thats important?Because to a demon that how you activate your wings!His small black wings shot out instantly.Since he was in a panic he started flapping wildly.He realized that he stopped and was not dead.he opened his eyes and a jagged rock was two inches in front of his nose.He shuddered at the thought of having that thing rammed through his face.He was levitating and started flapping harder downward and started going up.Eve though he was impressed with himself.Rakuba wanted the day to be over as soon as possible.He floated upward and landed back on the top of the cliff."So...how'd it go?" Kikoru asked with a camera behing his back.The reason is because the same thing happened to him and Kiko took a picture of him when he learned so he wanted to do the same thing for the next family member to learn to fly.Rakuba just looked at Kikoru and then screamed a blood-curdling scream so loud that it echoed for ten seconds afterword.Kikoru then snapped a picture.
