Shadow Fangs

Chapter 4

        Zorakuba walked quietly down the road late one night.  He had been working previously on some trouble between the Shadow Fangs, his own gang.  Alot of members were found to be planning a betrayal so he and Alex told them to leave and never come back.  Of course, Zorakuba had to rough them up because they tried to literally murder him.  He won obviously.
       As he walked he heard something, stopping in his tracks.  Looking around, he saw a figure on a rooftop, sitting quietly with an umbrella...and gassmask?  Odd...
      Zorakuba decided to listen more, so he leaned against the building that the man was on and listened.  The tune was peaceful.
       He felt himself grow sleepy, but before he could fall asleep the singing stopped.  Slowly, Zorakuba opened his eyes only to be met with a gassmask in his face.
    "Wah!" Zorakuba jumped about ten feet in the air, before glaring at the man.  "You almost gave me a heart attack!" He exclaimed to the now guilty looking man, somehow showing guilt through his mask.
      "Sorry.....but I was just curious about why you were here," he says with a small whine in his voice, causing Zorakuba's tight expression to loosen.
     "Its alright....and I was just listening to you...youre singing was really good," Zorakuba states honestly to him, who immediately lightened up.
    "Really?  Thank you!" He says happily.  "My name's Clear," he says as he looks at Zorakuba, who smiles slightly and holds out his hand to shake.
     "Zorakuba is my name.  It's nice to meet you Clear," he says kindly as Clear shakes his hand.  Zorakuba smiles before pausing and frowning as he checks a pocket watch from his pocket.
      "I have to go....my boss is probably wondering where the heck I am.  He said tonight he needed to test something and he needed my help with it," Zorakuba says as he starts walking.  Clear pauses before waving and saying goodbye.

        "....and that's where I met him," Clear finishes as Aoba nods with understanding.  That's where he knew the Jellyfish song from...but now more questions arose in Aoba's mind.  Who was his boss?  What was he doing there?  What was this so called test?  The questions kept pulling up higher and higher.
      "Maybe we should ask him?  After all he would know," Clear suggests, but Aoba pauses.  "He's alittle touchy on where he came from though.  He might not tell us," Aoba said to a now sulking Clear.  "Oh..."
      The two began to talk about possibilities on these questions, but they just couldn't come up with the answer.  Just then, Tae walks back in.  "Oh you're here...where'd that Zorakuba go off to?" She asked to the two boys, who shrugged saying they didn't know.
      Tae only snorts and walks to the living room.  Aoba sighs before looking at Clear.  "What should we do about this?  What if Zorakuba is someone we cant trust?" The question flew from Aoba's mouth before he could stop it.
     Clear doesn't respond for some time.  "I don't know Master...." he says quietly.  The two fall silent after that.
      "I'm sure things will be solved in time," Ren speaks up as he walks into the room, his small paws padding across the floor.
     The two nod silently before glancing at eachother.  They couldn't get rid of their doubts.  The same question in both of their heads.....just who was Zorakuba?
