Lost little one (OPEN)

[Little Sarah]

A small mountain sat with its peaks pointing upward at a darkening sky. It was getting quite late out, the sun starting to settle down within the clouds and Peaks. It was a quiet evening, just the noise of crickets chirping, and other insects as they came out for their nightly fluttering. But, another sound was being herd within this small quiet mountain. The soft sounds of distress..crying, sadness.

A little creature cowered down under a tree and crying into the sleeves of her pink little sweater as if they were a tissue. The long brown hair that flowed down to the middle of her back seemed silky and nice. A little pair of blue overalls that has a little patch on the pocket of a little raccoon. and like the little raccoon patch was showing who she was. the little girl seemed to have a little pair of black raccoon ears, that were soft and silky, along with a large fluffy raccoon tail that seemed to be all fur and fluff. Her clothes appeared to be semi tattered, and clutched in her tiny little hands appeared to be a stuffed tan Rabbit toy, that appeared to be a little worn down and dirty. The little creature just sat there, crying and sobbing into the sweater, trembling as if she was scared out of her wits...

which she was.

The little girl was A demon, A raccoon demon if that was not obvious by the long fluffy tail and ears. Though she didn't quite act that demonly. She was very frightened and cowardly, and unlike most demons, the little runt didn't seem to be that confident either, Needing the comfort of the stuffed toy and kept so rightly clutched in her little hands. But in a way, you could not blame her. After all she was small, really small, and she wasn't that strong, so being alone in an unknown place with no one you know of around could be very frightening.

"U..Usagi..." she spoke as if she was speaking to the stuffed rabbit in her arms "U..Usagi...D...Do you think Big brother....c..could be in this place?" she asked as if they Toy would answer her. She opened her large eyes to look at the top in her arms,Then brought her little head down again crying into her sleeve again "B..Big brother Koto..w...where are you...p...please be here big brother please..." she sobbed some, then lifted her head back up. looking around, she cling to the toy some after hearing a noise. sniffling and rubbing the tears from her face.

"U...Usagi..w..what are we going to do I...I don't know where to go anymore..w..where am I gonna find big brother..." she stopped hearing another rustle in the bushes. she let out a terrified little whimper, and the small creature looked around quickly, and took refuge inside where the roots spit and reveled a little burrow that had been abandoned by whatever had been loving in it. She whimpered and went inside the little borrow, cowering with her stuffed toy "please big brother....be here...


Please...."

[Kira the Wandering Blade]

Slowly the stars were starting to show themselves, the moon already hanging in the sky as the sun was slowly setting. There was only the quiet noises of nature around, the crickets chirping, some birds tweeting, and small animals scurrying around. It was all the sounds that Kira was use to and thus easily ignored while she walked about. She held no purpose in coming here to the mountains, just that it was where she happened upon that day. She had a wandering spirit and seemed to feel the most relaxed just walking around in some place with no purpose.

The breeze blew a bit, sending the slight chill in the air right at the female demon. Her silver hair blew out behind her and her clothes swayed a bit. Her black haori was loosely fit, a sleeveless blue shirt lay underneath it, clinging to her body. She wore black hakama pants that tucked into a pair of black boots on her feet. Going up her right sleeve and onto the right side of her haori and down the left side of her hakamas was an elegant design of blue and silver, like vines of ivy. Kira's face was pale, though not sickly, and her ears pointed like an elf. Her eyes were icy blue and, for the most part, expressionless. She did not seem to carry anything else with her, but around her neck were two necklaces that her mother and father once wore.

The breeze slowly died down, though Kira seemed unaffected my it's chill. It had only been a few more steps until she could hear something, like a girl talking. For a moment she stilled her pace, listening around her for the voice once more. After a moment she could hear it once again. It sounded like a child talking to someone, but there was no one talking back. It somewhat concerned her that there was a child out here and she began to wonder if there really was anyone with the girl. It sounded like she was trying to find someone, her older brother. The name she had said, Usagi, meant rabbit. Was the person she was talking to a person or something else, though she supposed that there could be a person with that name.

Even with that last thought there was still a tinge of concern and curiosity. So Kira started moving toward where she could hear the voice from. She really did not care if she made noise in her approach, the point was not to sneak up on the child and whoever she may be with. As she approached she heard another name, the name of the child's brother: Koto. The female dog demon had never met a boy or man named Koto recently so she probably had not met the child's older brother, of course she usually does not make it her business to meet people. Still, even if she had not met the child's brother she still felt the need to find the girl to at least see if she was alone or not.

Kira paused once more at the sound of a whimper coming from the girl. She must have heard her approach and gotten scared. She sniffed at the air to be sure that there was nothing around. She could not smell anything aside from the child, or what she supposed was the scent of the girl, and her senses did not pick up anything around her. So she continued on to where the girl's scent was the strongest and came to a stop. The child did not appear to be around but she could still smell her right there. It was then that she saw the burrow, though it was too small for Kira to really go in even at a belly crawl. She crouched down next to it. "I'm not going to hurt you," she said gently, "are you here alone?"

( Sorry It took me so long ^^
The little Raccoon demon cowered when someone came toward the hole in which she had been hideing in. She didn't know waht was out their at first, and the Burrow seemed safe to her cause she knew the thing was to big to get in. She was such a skittish little runt. Espically when she was alone.

Her little ears twitched up a bit however, hearing the someone speak. She opened her large eyes which previously had been squeezed shut out of fear that this unknown person was going to hurt her. she sniffled some, Moving a bit and going towards the entrance of the little burrow,Still cowering some.

"y...you wont?" she asked, her small voice makeing a slight squeaking noise as she spoke. "Y...you wont hurt me?..."

She gulped a bit. Still nervious, pulling herself out of the little burrow. Ears back again as she spoke. Not really looking up, except for a moment just to see who was talking to her, before looking down again in a frightened way. She Hugged Her stuffed toy against herself tighter. Before letting out a small nod to the persons second question She had asked her.

"y..Yes..Yes I am A..Alone." she spoke, Her words stammering as her little self was trembling some " I...I am t..trying to f..find my big brother. I..I cant find him anywhere..a..and I woke up and he was gone." she whimpered more, hugging the toy tighter. When she did. Her left arm seemed to tremble some. And the sleeve was wet with blood. The little girl seemed to have a n injury. A long gash that went down the length of her little arm. She didnt seem to mind it though, as if she was hideing it. The small girl didn't want anyone to worry that she was hurt. After all the little arm had been wrapped up, But the bandages were older and seemed to be coming off.

"I..I'm s..sorry If I'm r..really shaky..." she apologized. Looking up finally, with wide terrified eyes still "i..I'm just really scared Easy..a..and I don't know whats g..going to hurt me or not." She sniffled and looked back down "I..I'm sorry..o..oh...a..and my Names Sarah..."

[Kira the Wandering Blade]

The little voice of the young demon spoke up with a tremble in her tone. She was very scared of anything that was to come near her. It seemed a bit strange, yet not, that she would be alone still. Mostly it just seemed to Kira that such a small creature might have been killed already or protected by something, not alone like this. But then perhaps she was recently left alone, that would explain it far better anyway. But if she managed to survive out here alone without anyone for a while now, that would intrigue Kira. Such a small child would probably be incapable of really protecting herself and it would leave her to wonder if the child was just that lucky or had something else unique about her.

"I don't usually make it a habit to kill children," she said, her tone a bit softer so not to scare the child further but her blunt attitude not really helping. The little child came out, revealing herself to be such a small and helpless looking thing. Even though she was crouched down she was still far bigger than the child, just showing how small the girl really was. The girl barely even looked at her, hugging her stuffed toy closer to her out of fear. It was a bit of a sad sight, but Kira could expect nothing more of the child like her than to be scared.

Kira listened as the girl's voice continued to tremble with her words, revealing that she was alone and looking for her brother like she had thought before based on what she heard earlier. The girl must have been talking to the stuffed toy as there was no one else here. The next thing to catch her attention was the blood on her sleeve, showing that the child did not escape whatever had happened to her unscathed. A slight frown appeared on her face as the demon had never really preferred to see children hurt. In a way she supposed she naturally had a soft heart, but it had hardened at somethings in life. However, it seemed that children could still affect her.

After a moment of looking over the girl Kira was listening to her words once more. "You may address me as Kira if you wish," she said, watching the girl's fearful eyes, "you should not worry so much, there is no danger nearby which I can sense. Nothing will harm you." The girl was just so fearful and shaky from everything that happened to her it seemed. She could not leave the child in such condition. Perhaps she could find a foster to take the child for now or something, but she would not leave the small thing here in the middle of no where.

"Let me see your arm," she said, still eying the blood, "the injured one." The last part was to make sure that the girl gave her the right one and not try to get out of giving it to her. "I want to see how bad it is." Being a demon the girl should be able to heal faster than a human, but that still did not tell her just how much faster nor how much it was already healed. The blood still seemed fresh enough so it might have to be wrapped up until the wound completely closed.

[ryuukotsusei]

Takai was heading to a nearby human village, where 8 people had died. When he arrives the emissaries of the afterlife was already binding them with chains and was awaiting him. He open the gate to the after world which was only a door, seeing with a bright light. He pulls their spirits from their chain bodies and sent them through leaving a child and another man.

The door fads as he leaves the man in chains grabbing his chain spirit as the gates of hell erupts open a bright red light exploding out of it and he throws the man over it mercilessly. Large chains pulls up from the ground piercing into his skin and grabbing the other chains as they drag him into hell. He turns the soul of a little girl who was among them, bounded in chains. Even her soul cried out seeing him as he approaches her.

He stops before her and one of the shinidamas floats up next to him. “Guide her to the soul piper, and be quick with haste, I hear a soul devouring demon is loose.” He turns and walks away as the shinidama frees her from her chains and took her away.

Takai begin to leave the area as the 2nd shinidama follows him. He sometimes wonder why did he still do this. Since he was thrown out by the other shinigami’s why do their job. But he guessed it was his way of punishing the corrupt humans for what he dealt with, and saving the souls of those who was truly innocent. To make up for even the countless humans he was forced to kill.

He begins heading back towards the spot he left Kira. He begin looking around seeing she must of grew bore with waiting on him. He couldn’t blame her. He listen and begins to follow what sounded to be crying in the distance.

[Little Sarah]

"O..Okay Miss Kira.." the Little Raccoon seemed to bow her head a little bit. She was a very respectful girl, despite the face that she was trembling and her little voice was still terrified sounding. She Squeaked some" I..I know..I..I just cant t...tell Normally.." She whimpered and Looked down. "I..I just get scared at anything I hear w..without b..big brother here, A..and when I'm scared M...My senses aren't very good s..so I hide".

Sarah Jumped a little bit when She asked for her arm, The little girl didn't realize that the wound was that noticeable. She knew it was hurting quite a bit, but she thought that was normal. The little girl made a small squeaky noise and nodded her little head. Holding out her small Arm toward Kira to let her see the wound.

The wound seemed to stretch all the way up the raccoon demons Arm. It had been roughly wrapped with scraps of cloth before. but they had started to get dirty and come off. As well as the wound had not closed yet. It was partially do to the small raccoons constant wandering around and Looking for her brother. and the Fact that she hid at every noise she saw using the arm often and reopening the wound constantly.

"W..when I woke up it was there..." the Little girl confessed Squeaking. "I.. I woke up a..and the cloth was son my arm..a..and big brother wasn't around anymore..a..and mama and papa..." the little girl stopped. her eyes getting slightly wider. and her ears falling back again. Her eyes started to look even sadder then that had been. "M..mama...mama and papa...." she just repeated and started trembling again. Her eyes shaking as well. She had seen her Parents getting Killed before she passed out and koto had escaped with her, those images were still fresh in the little raccoon girls Mind.

She didn't say another word after that, she just seemed to start crying a little bit. Letting out small squeaks and whimpers every once and a while. She Really wanted to find her brother. He was the only family she had left now.

[Kira the Wandering Blade]

Kira nodded in understanding to the child's stuttered words. Being afraid can sometimes make it hard to think rationally or use senses properly, especially for a child. She did not often get scared, but she knew that many children were often easily frightened and little Sarah before her was no different. Even when she told her it was safe and that no danger was nearby she was still stuttering and trembling with fear. Of course the child should really have no reason to trust her, but she seemed to take all of her words as honest which meant the child was too trusting of others she did not know. That could be very dangerous for her, even now though not because of Kira or anything like that.

When Sarah held out her arm Kira gently took the small limb into her hands and pulled up the sleeve to look at the wound. It was wrapped, but the wrapping was dirty and coming off. The wound was still open, though probably not as fresh as she first thought, but more towards just being opened up before it could heal completely. The wound itself was rather large and probably painful for the child. Unfortunately Kira did not have any herbs that would do much help for her at the moment and, based on their location, there probably were none growing nearby. Still, she did have some fresh wrapping that she kept on her just in case, though she rarely ever used it on herself.

Reaching into her haori pocket Kira pulled the wrapping out and cut the old wrapping off with a claw. The wound did not seem infected or anything so she simply re-wrapped the girl's arm with the fresh wrap. "You really shouldn't move it too much or else it won't heal," she said gently, "otherwise it looks fine." Or at least as fine as a wound can get. It was a bit of a worry mostly because if she kept opening the wound again and again she would start to lose a lot of blood, more than she should. It was best not to worry the child too much though, stress was not good for a wound and she seemed to be under too much already.

Sarah began to talk once more and Kira listened, starting to get at least some more of the picture. At the thought of her mother and father she stopped and began to cry. Her shaking was not only from fear it seemed, but also from grief and the traumatic experience of losing her parents. Her brother was probably the one that put the bandage on her arm, but that did not help in the mystery of finding just where he went off to. She supposed that she could ask Takai if he had recently seen the soul of her brother, assuming that Sarah would be good enough to describe him to her when she was not as upset.

Slowly and gently Kira pulled the child close to her, holding her close. "Shh.. There was nothing that you could have done for them," she said softly, "they are probably happy that you live now and they could even be watching over you.." She had heard that some loved ones could do that in some cases, though her words were really only to try to comfort the poor child as her parents probably were already gone from this world by now.

[ryuukotsusei]

Takai begins to draw near as he could now distinctly hear them. He approaches them as the area was seeming tightly fit as he has to push trees apart to manage to fit. His red eyes looking around as he reaches the two. He was far use to dealing with children, or even truly understand fear. He didn’t do anything to keep himself quiet or less scary as he pushes one tree a little to hard as he climbs beside them, the tree crashing down.

He stops as it was something he didn’t intended, but steps over it as the two now turns towards him. His red eyes look towards Kira, and then to the small child she was now holding. His black wings hide behind him as he approaches more.

“I take it, I took longer then you prefer.” His attention moves down towards the raccoon girl in her arms. It was one of the only types of demons he had ever seen, and apart from him when he was younger and the fact he wouldn’t think of himself like that, he had never seen a child. He raises his claws up at the demon, not meaning to be threat, just curious.

[Little Sarah]

Sarah seemed to let out a small Squeak when She was Hugged, she sniffled and hugged Kira, The little thing clinging some when she did. She Shook her head "Papa had told big brother to run away with me s..so we would both be safe.." she spoke really quietly "B..But why couldn't of him and Mama run too..t..they stayed back... ..and I..I saw..." she stopped and shook her little head some to get herself to calm down and stop crying "i..I just want them back.." she sniffled.


"S..Sorry..y..you probably don't .w..wanna hear all that.." the small Raccoon Squeaked. She was realizing what her speaking sounded like too. "a..and I'm s..sorry I..I keep speaking l..like this. I..Its just, t..the words come out s..sounding like this w..when I'm scared. I..I cant really c..control it..." Her tiny ears flicked up some and her tail seemed to do a little flick, unlike previously, where it was just kinda dragging against the ground in a scared sad way. "I..I know I..I'm scared t..to easy..."

The little raccoon Looked at her arm. "I..It keeps opening up and hurting c...cause I keep looking for big brother..." Her ears twitched back again. Sniffling some "I.. know that some p..people tell me i..if I wanna find him I..I should stay in one place and Let him find me ...b..but that's h...hard to d..do when you k..keep hearing scary n..noises that Make you r..run..."

She stopped and Let out a yelp as The tree came Crashing down and the Little girl cling to Kira Tighter before she looked over at Takai. She began Shuddering again, shaking kinda like a scared puppy would. She opened her Mouth to Speak come, But closed it and Flinch when he reached one of his claws at her and she quickly hid her little face against Kira's clothes, making a loud little whimper, getting scared once again. A faint glow came from her. But it was Hardly noticeable. Their was something really strange about the small raccoon demon, it just hadn't quite been shown yet.

[Kira the Wandering Blade]

Kira absentmindedly pet her on the back a bit, almost in a comforting way. "If your parents had run with you two you all might have died," she said thoughtfully, "they fought to try to keep you safe, to keep the danger away from you and give you and your brother enough time to escape so that you two may live on." Or at least that was what it seemed like their objective was. Her parents would have done as much as well, she was sure, but they had died while she was away from them and far older than the child she was holding. Besides, even if she had been present she would have tried to fight beside them instead of running like some coward, but if it seemed hopeless and her parents forced her to she might have fled.

Once more she found herself listening to the child, hearing her words in stutters. "Your race of demons do not rely on strength in a battle and probably use fear as a good way to survive. Though I am very different from you it does not mean I do no try to understand your kind or anyone else," she said gently, "but it is okay to be scared as it will help you to survive, though I believe you must learn to be strong in whatever ways you can be, otherwise you will be afraid for your whole life." Kira did not mean physical strength necessarily, but just strong as a person. Constantly being afraid was not a way to live, or so she believed.

Kira nodded in understanding, though she still disagreed that she should be looking for her brother while she was hurt. "Looking for your brother will do you no good if you end up bleeding to death along the way," she said softly, though still a bit stern, "you should allow your body to rest, before you try such things which could have been accomplished while keeping safe enough by staying hidden." Her words were not meant to be mean or scary, just informative for the most part. "I will not be leaving you hear alone so you don't have to worry about running, just try not to open your wound up again."

There was little else that Kira could say before Takai's scent began to drift closer to them and a tree came crashing down nearby. She could feel Sarah cling to her tighter as she looked over to find her companion. "I would have waited some more but I had sensed something," she said, almost shrugging, "and I have found it, or her rather.." Kira looked down at Sarah in her arms, finding her scared of Takai and his curiousness. "Sarah, you needn't be afraid," she said, "this is Takai, my companion. He seems a bit scary, but he will not harm you. He's just.. Curious of you." It was the best she could do to explain him and his intentions, though she knew that Sarah would probably not calm down too much from it, she had not been very calm even with just her.

[/blockquote]

[ryuukotsusei]

Takai lightly sniffs the air, as he could sense something different about this child but was distracted, and retracts his hand from her as he looks towards Kira. “What do you means seems abit scary?” His voice still somewhat broken and dark.

About the time the Shinidama that follows him moves around in a wrapping motion around Kira and it also looks at the child. Yet it was just more playful then curious, for it knew a child well. Takai’s red eyes follows the shinidama before looking back, peering into the eyes of the trembling demon.

His eyes then look up and meets Kira’s. “Is it coming with us?” He was still completely in the dark about the child thinking it was just a miniature demon for a sort. He couldn’t help but shift himself, as his wings spread out widely blocking the bright light of the sun. His wings now casting their large shadow over them.

OOC: Didn't have much to work with there...

[Little Sarah]

Sarah still hid her face against Kira slightly. Even with Kira telling her that this person would not harm her, she was Still very afraid. The little raccoon girl didn't know what to think of this new presence near them, she was still slightly uneasy around Kira, but She seemed to already trust her slightly, at least trust her enough to hide against her.

Her small ears were trembling from being scared, but the small girl finally lifted her head slightly away from Kira in order to look over to see the new figure. whimpering some when he spoke. She was just a little demon, she did ave something else about her, shown by a slight glow that came from her chest. She finally spoke, though her voice was quieter then before "h....h..hello" she said, her words shaking as much as she was.

Though at the Shinidama looking at her the little girl flinched and hid again at first, but seemed to notice that it was moving more in a playful way, and the little child easily picked up on that, and finally smiled a little, though she was still shaking, she reached he little hand out toward it. Though the small child was listening, and her ears went down again when she was called an it.

"I...I'm not an it..." she spoke quietly against to Takai, still afraid of him quiet a bit. "I..I'm a r...raccoon d....d..demon..." She seemed to snuggle her small self closer to Kira as she spoke, as if she was afraid she would be hurt for speaking. she was just so afraid of everything at the moment, it was almost funny seeing a demon be so afraid of everything.

[Kira the Wandering Blade]

Kira raised an eyebrow at Takai's question. "If I offended you with that comment then forgive me, I did not mean it in that way," she said, sensing that she might have, "what I meant was to a small child you are intimidating. Even I might be a bit intimidating though probably less so then you because I am female." Even more so her form could probably pass as a human as long as no one really looked too closely at her demon traits and the color of her hair. Looking so and being female would probably help her look a lot less intimidating than Takai who had horns, black wings, and an expressionless face. Though he probably had never really seen or interacted with any children before either with the way he was brought up to fight, so he probably did not understand just how frightening he could appear to one so young.

When Sarah moved a bit Kira looked down to her, seeing her looking at Takai and even offering him a small and stuttered hello. It was not really that which caught her eye though, but more toward the slight glow that she could see coming off of her where her chest was. It was like she had something there that was glowing, a necklace probably as she could feel some sort of trinket there as the girl clung to her. It had not been glowing so much before when she first found her, if it had been at all since she could not recall noticing it. It made her wonder just what triggered such a reaction and what powers the small trinket might possess, mostly because she would like to know if it was dangerous or anything as she was the one holding the little demon closely.

Kira watched the child a bit longer, seeing her smiling and reaching out for the shinidama. It seemed to know a child a bit more than Takai as it moved playfully about, looking less intimidating than her companion. It probably gained such experience from carrying many children souls and learning about them. If Sarah were to stay with them Takai would have to learn a little more about children and how they act, otherwise he might continue to scare her as he was doing now. It was also true that she would have to get use to them for they both seemed to be a bit detached of the world around them and she would have to learn not to take that the wrong way or anything.

As Sarah spoke up about not being an it Kira's lip twitched slightly, almost smirking before returning to a neutral face. "She will be accompanying us until we can find a more suitable place for her to stay or we can find her brother," she said, shifting her gaze to Takai, "of course that is if she wants to.." Even if she did not want to Kira would feel uncomfortable just leaving the child there in such a dangerous place and injured like she was. If anything she would probably take her to someone she knew would take care of the child, if she really knew anyone that would do that. Humans probably would not since she was a demon and there were many demons that would just find her a nice snack to munch on if they found her, so such a selection would have to be done with care.

[ryuukotsusei]

He looks at it oddly at how small and fragile it was. It was then he turns looking back towards Kira noticing she may of thought he took offence when he didn’t. He was just unsure exactly how he was scary or anything but he turns back to the demon with the mind it must have been being raised to fight and kill may bring fear into those who even hasn’t heard of him.

That thought almost made him smile mostly for remembering how is life is so much different now. He looks at it when the small demon finally spoke. His claw pokes at her slightly still curious but he was careful, since his claws could easily slice flesh.

His attention came back though when the demon defended herself for referring to her as an it. He couldn’t help but smile at the defense she tries to put up to him. Here she calls herself a demon but stutters. He had only seen a few people who was so scared of him they stuttered, and that was when He ravaged a human village when he was enslaved.

The shinidama moves closer moving around her and back in front of her since it was their main duty to take the children’s souls to the Soulpiper they grew use to them. It continues for a moment as Takai looks up towards Kira as his eyes widen. “She is coming with us?!” He stop for a moment as the thought came to him that the question and outburst of asking it was all together very telling. Here it be no different then him traveling with her, and he gets shocked over this. His face slightly turns red but his face still seem blank as he looks away. It made it obvious how he actually feel wanting to travel with Kira, and most likely why.

“He looks completely away so his face was no longer facing them. “Yeah…that’s fine, I am sure we could find a place.” He knew it was to late to cover up his outburst, but he still tried even if it did make things more obvious.

[Little Sarah]

The small raccoons tail wagged for a moment, hearing the words she was able to stay with them till at least they found her brother. The small creature did hate to be alone after all. She like almost any company. This was bad in a sense however, cause if anything else would of found her and offered help, it might have a different outcome. however, Sarah seemed to Trust Kira, at least a little bit, other wise the small child would not be clinging to her for protection. Her small smile seemed to grow looking at Kira.

"Y..You will really let me come with you two t..till we can find my big brother?" Her eyes were so wide and hopeful. She looked over at Takai, her ears dropped back against her head gently and she looked down
"I.. I don't h..have to come with you too..i..if you don't wish me too h..however.." she fidgeted a little bit, keeping her eyes down, still rather afraid of Takai" I..I don't want to be trouble of a..any kind to you.., I... I don't want to be a burden..." Her eyes brought up gently " I cant be along f...for that long... I...I mean...B..Big brother has to be around eventually..r..right..m..maybe hes in these mountains..."

The little raccoon girl was most likely wrong about that, for if her brother would have been anywhere near these mountains, his scent would be somewhere around, which his was no where to be found.

Sarah's Eyes kept down, not looking up at either of the two for the longest time. she kept her eyes on her stuffed toy. and she cuddled with it. however, this behavior broke, when the little raccoons nose seemed to twitch, and a strange scent filled the air.

Her tiny body seemed to stiffen a little bit, and her ears fell back against her head. her already large eyes seemed to grow larger, and she started shaking once again.

There was no sound to be herd at the moment, just a scent, a scent that seemed to small of Poison...as well as blood.

Little Sarah Shuddered some "O..Oh n..no..h..he cant be here..n..nonono.." she seemed to be lost in her mind at the moment, not talking to either Kira or Takai "H..He cant be here..h..he cant he cant..." she seemed terrified now ,more then she had been. The glow from her chest was brighter now, the small girl taking one of her tiny hands and covering the spot, wincing slightly, it hurt there, that was obvious, but the little raccoon didn't seem to mind that, she was to busy trying to find where the scent was coming from, and trying to hide and cower from it.

what could be causing the fear...
