( Verdaifei Two-hundred one-thirty
Today, I only stole a bundle of these round rations. Not good but will have to do. Don't know how humans can digest this. I really miss tasty, mouth-watering megai berries...
I wonder if GP Headquarters will ever know that I am here. Maybe not. I've been here since the verdaifei our ship was crashed. That same verdaifei Prince Elfangor dead.
I have been struck on planet earth two verdaifei before I started this account. If I die and a civilized Perinduro finds this, please tell all my comrades that I loved them.
...Okay, enough of my will.
Meow, meow, meow! >
Hey! Leave my D-log account alone, X-Fel! This isn't your account!
Two humans just walked out their shelter. One said something about 'box'. Are they referring to the Escafil Device? Could they have it? Only one way to find out!
Meow, meow? >
No, you stay put. I had enough of your help.
Pbbttt! >-sticking tongue-
Oh, put a gaie in it.

"So what are we going to do today? Helping sick animals? Cleaning up the stables? Returning an animal to its habitat?" I uttered like a child.
Kaoru stared at me like I had an extra head. "We're not here as zoo keepers!"
Cassie laughed as she placed back a mole into its cage. We were in the barn. Cassie is lucky to look after all the animals here. Her parents are vets and it's their duty to help sick, injured and helpless animals.
Cassie's the type of girl who's always helping and helpful. Her skin is darker than mine. She does have the same black hair like ours, except much curly and shorter. She has a heart of gold when it comes to caring for animals.
I volunteered to help out. So I'm a sucker for animals, big deal.
"So exactly why are we the only three only to hide the box?" I asked. Now you're wondering why we have to hide the box? After our last mission, which makes it Kaoru's second one, Jake decided we should hide it somewhere safe.
Before Kaoru joined the Animorphs, she was a lonely girl with a terrible past. That took a detour when she found the box.
...With a little help from a ferret.
Since then, she's been in the team and she had never felt so alive and happy. I was happy for her. She was so gloomy since the day Kaoru's best friend, Sakura, died when we were ten.
Actually, before Kaoru even found the box, it was first found by a boy named David not long ago. He used to be an Animorph until things got out of hand. He was a rat now. Literally.
After that, mostly everyone was suspicious that Kaoru would be like David. But she wasn't and she won't be like him.
"Well, everyone else is busy right at the moment," Cassie replied.
"And Ax?" Kaoru asked.
"He's out with Tobias, watching for anyone who might be spying or just dropping by."
I always get the feeling Kaoru liked Ax. And that Ax liked Kaoru. Ever since Kaoru gave Ax a necklace without knowing he was an alien in a human disguise, he has been emoted more to her than anyone else.
I'd better watch him. If he comes too close to my kid sister, I'll-
"Hey, earth to Takehiro," Kaoru called. "Hello? We need to cook up a hiding place for the box."
"Huh? Oh. How about under Grandpa's bungalow?" I quickly suggested.
"Come again?" Kaoru said shockingly.
"Grandpa hasn't been in the basement for...who knows when. Plus no one visits Grandpa except me and Kaoru."
"No postman?" Cassie asked.
"Grandpa gets his mail from the post office. Don't ask how. We don't know either."
"Still we have no clue whether Grandpa can find it or not," Kaoru stated. "He always can tell we're up to something and he'll do nothing to get us to spill the beans."
Grandpa is our guardian. He's the one who taught martial arts to me. He also taught kendo to the both of us. He may be a little strict but still he's our grandpa. He's also a retired ninja.
Why we moved here instead of live in Japan forever is because our mom told us to stay here. She never gave a reason why.
But that never bothered me. I guess she just wanted us to stay here while she was in the hospital due to her sudden blindness.
"Yeah. Don't want to get Grandpa involve with this. It'll give him a heart attack," I said.
"Please. He looks like he can live another fifteen years," Kaoru mumbled.
"So...anymore ideas?" Cassie inquired.
"Hmm..."
Swoosh!
I heard it. Something moving above us. I guess Grandpa's blind training worked my ears up. Kaoru and Cassie didn't hear it. They were too engrossed in their conversation. I looked at the beams of the barn.
A few rays of sunlight streamed through the breaks of the roof so it was too dim to see. A black figure jumped from a beam to another. My eyes shot wide. We weren't alone.
The figure was about Kaoru's height yet it didn't look human. It ran across the beam like a cat on the fence. I could have sworn I saw two amber eyes glowing under the shadows. Staring down at us. Not only that, two long large things that looked like rabbit's ears moved about like satellites.
It was hearing us. I turned back but my gaze watched it listen to us.
"Maybe somewhere in the forest? Or at the cliff?" Kaoru went on with all the suggestions she could think of.
"Takehiro? Are you alright?" Cassie took notice of me looking up.
"Continue talking," I whispered. "Talk something else."
"What?" Kaoru uttered.
"We're being watched."
The barn became silent. Very silent.
"So has anyone thought of where we should release 'the eagle'?" I said.
They looked at me as if they were clueless. I had to give one look until Kaoru understood.
"Yeah. So far, it's either the forest or the cliffside. Hey, Cassie, maybe the cliffside is probably a very nice place for the eagle," she said with a wink.
"Oh, yeah. It will be great for it to fly in open space," Cassie joined in.
Again, silent.
I looked up to see the figure still watching us. We stood still, not moving a muscle. It drew back its head and backed away slowly.
It was taking the bait. Thinking we didn't have the box. Then-
SWOOSH!
A bird soared in from the barn's window and attacked the figure with its talons. The figure tried to shove it away. It sheltered its head from the scratches the bird threw. Seeing it had a disadvantage, it then took a dash across the beam and out the window.
It's getting away!
Tobias.
"Quick!" I shouted, running to the door. I heard something land outside. It must have fallen pretty hard. This was a great advantage. If it had broken some bones, then it had no way to go. I hurled the door open.
It was gone. No figure on the ground. It couldn't have survived that fall and ran away.
"It's gone!" I shouted.
"What was that?" Cassie asked.
"Tobias, you saw it, right?" Kaoru said.
All I saw was fur and a pair of yellow eyes, Tobias said. The red-tailed hawk perched on the sill of the window. Like it was a huge cat.
"Or maybe something more than just a cat," I said.
Guess we have another job to do.
Anonymous-cat – Yes, you got that right. The first part is Ryo-Mew-Ki's diary. And she does have someone else with her but I'm not gonna spoil the story. Thanks for the review.
Baranth – Aurora: Well, humanoid, have would you like battling against a dragonoid, hm? -Starts transforming-
Vickie: -Slams a chair at Aurora and watches her faint- Oy, you can fight her in Strands of Destiny. Not in this fanfic. And don't worry. Ryo-Mew-Ki will be alive for the next few books. And I am very sure I didn't get that name from that comic. I simply did this. Ryo-Mew-Ki's real name is Ryoroyohaniga-Mewkagiro-Kigomotoillka and since her race wants to shorten their names, they shorten it by using the first letters of each name. Thus Ryoroyohaniga-Mewkagiro-Kigomotoillka was shortened to Ryo-Mew-Ki. Of course it was then I found out that it was the same as Ryo-Oh-Ki. Didn't realize that. But anyhow I kept this name cuz it fits her feline character. Thanks for reviewing.
The Fair Lady Psyche – Mostly some somehow came from my weird world of dreams like the Karine and Ryo-Mew-Ki's origin and the alien race that is ruled by a bloodline who can use the Karine but the name Jauria did come off slightly from the Tenchi Muyo. I ran out of ideas for the name. Gomen. And thanks for reviewing and adding this to your favorites. Hope you like this update.
Gill – Don't worry. I'm taking longer to update because I've got two fanfics to do, one joint Harry Potter fanfic to prepare and school to attend. So you'll expect each chapter to update VERY long. And the alien should be arriving in the 5th or 8th chapter. Somewhere there. And you're welcome! Thanks for your review!
Sorry to all my readers I took so long! I was busy with a lot of things! I hope you like this new update!
