Hello Fellow Tiger's Curse Readers I apologize for disappearing for so long but with Colleen Houck's new book Tiger's Dream releasing soon it has light a new spark to continue with the fanfiction. Gonna keep it in Akira's point of view right now.

Within a weeks time our journey has begun, my father has gotten Kelsey to agree to coming with us to what she believes is a tiger sanctuary for Ren, which in honesty it isn't but she doesn't need to know all the details yet.

It was early in the morning when Kelsey pulled up into the fairground as they were about to load Ren into the crate that was in the back of the cargo truck, the ringmaster as well as another man that I remember was the man that the trainer of all the animals in the circus led him with chains that were attached to a thick steel collar around his neck, they stopped right behind the truck and with one word Ren obediently leaped up into the crate and laid down as it was locked behind him.

I followed closely as my father walked up to Kelsey and snatched her bag from her and asked if she would rather travel in crapped looking cargo truck with Ren or in the convertible with us. Kelsey took one look at the truck and quickly made the decision to ride us, I huffed thinking she made the right chose even I wouldn't want to ride in that truck. I barked and took off running toward the Bentley easily leaping into the back, my father and Kelsey chuckled at me as they got into the car and started driving with the truck behind us.

The plane ride to Oregon was just as excruciatingly boring as it was the plane ride back home, well not completely when my father was talking with Kelsey I would sneak into the back of the plane where they were keeping him and would speak with him for as long as our time permitted

"So how are things in the modern world?" Ren asked me as we sat together outside of his cage snacking on a loaf of bread with a assortment of fruit that I was able to sneak out of the kitchen of the plane

I lean my head back against the bars of the cage "It is crazy how different things are compared to things were back then. Even with the limited amount of time I have I still use every second of it with my father whether he is teaching me the technology of this time, our business, figuring out your location, keeping up to par on my fighting skills or.." I close my eyes "Trying to track down your brothers"

I feel Ren take my hand and lightly squeeze it, I open my eyes and meet his cobalt eyes, eyes that give you comfort "Kira.. I promise you we will find them, together."

I smile and lean my head on his shoulder thankful I had him again "Do you think that she is the one that would help break the curse?"

He takes a deep breath and leans his cheek on the top of my head "I do."

"Well.. Lets hope that this plan works because if not its back to the drawing board."

The next morning we finally in India and we step out into the dense humid air

" , isn't it usually hot and sunny in India?" Kelsey asked

"This is monsoon season. It's almost never cold here, but we do get rain in July and August and, on occasion, a cyclone?" my father replied, I shake my fur out wagging my tail nothings better than running out in the jungle when its raining.

Our attentions are turned toward the truck when we hear a angry roar, a worker who was trying to unload Ren yanked the chain on his collar to tightly irritating the white tiger, before my father approaches he stops when Kelsey rushes forward to comfort Ren 'Whoa.. that is differently unusual' I watch as she relieves the frightened worker and starts to lead Ren who follows beside her like a harmless kitten to the next truck that will take him to our next destination.

After my father speaks with the men we walk to Kelsey and introduce her to the driver as well as giving her a backpack with all the items she will need on the journey, she is confused by a few of the items but my father just smiles and assures her that it is better to be safe then sorry, "Now I have given the driver his instructions, but I he doesn't speak English so I have left a Hindi/English dictionary for you. I must take my leave now" he smiles and squeezes her shoulder

I look over at Ren where he lays in his cage and we both share a knowing nod as Kelsey gets into the truck and they drive away 'Now here is the point where it gets tricky..'
