Floating in his tank with his arms crossed, Dark Tiger was thinking up a plan of what he could use me for. His ears perked up and he turned around to see Kai standing there clapping.
"What do you want Kai?"
Grinning Kai just moved to the side reviling the wings and legs combo Cortex was working on. Dark Tiger's eyes just lit up and a huge grin appeared on his face. "Heh heh heh you shouldn't have" grinning Dark Tiger tried to reached out for it when his hand touched the glass, feeling the glass he growled loudly. "Fucking glass!" He started punching the glass making it crack a bit.
"Keep that up and Cortex will surely pump toxic acids into the pipes connected to you which will kill you".
Hearing this Dark Tiger stopped and growled at Kai.
"I want to get out of here how hard is it just to give me that?" Kai shook his head and left the room. Dropping his ears Dark Tiger whimpered and looked at a picture that was nearby and covered in a thick layer of dust. "Sigh...why must I have fight with him why can't it be like when we were cubs?" Looking at his reflection in the glass it answered his question.
"What and after he sliced you in half...your pathetic." Dark Tiger floated to the floor of his tank and curled up and closed his eyes.

For some reason the weather here has become dead horrible, it hasn't stopped raining for a week now. Looking out of the window in my brother's room I was bored and decided to do some searching. I walked over to Reko's bed and I noticed that one of the floor boards was slightly out of place, so I leaned down and used my claws to loosen it before picking it up.
"Humm that's strange, why is this here?" I spotted a small box, reaching down I picked it up and was about to open it when.....a spider crawled onto my hand. "Ahh a spider!" Dropping the box I started to wave my hand about to get the spider off "eww get off me".
Finally the spider flew off my hand and landed near the window before crawling out of it. Looking back at the box I noticed that a small picture had fallen out of it, picking it up I looked at it hard. "Who's that?"
Walking out of the room, growling I went to find Reko.
Reko was standing at the back door watching the rain when he heard someone stomping their feet and growling.
"Sigh, what's wrong with him now?" Picking up a bobble he put his hair into a ponytail at the exact moment when I stormed in.
"REKO!! EXPLAIN THIS NOW!" I threw the photo at him.
Catching it he looked at it and growled.
"Where did you get this!?"
"Your room just and answer my question!" Looking into my eyes, Reko knew the time had come.
"Sigh ok Tiger... we better sit down." Walking past me and made a gesture meaning for me follow him. Sitting down he held up the photo for me to see.
"So Reko, who is the other cub as I recognise myself in it?" Reko dropped his ears and sighed.
"Tiger you have known me all your life and known me to be your brother...well..." I just looked at him confused. "I was told to look after you when you were very young before... your parents were killed in the house fire."
My ears heard every word hand I dropped them and started to whimper.
"Tiger... I'm not your brother and never was." Reko pointed to the other fox cub with red hair. "He is your twin brother...two little fox cubs who lost their parents and all alone, little Tiger DemonFox and..." I couldn't take it anymore.
"Reko how could you keep this from me all these years....where's my brother?" Reko looked at me confused.
"Who? Drake?" It was my turn to look confused.
"Who's Drake?" Reko let out a small giggle.
"That's your twin brother Drake DemonFox and I... don't know, he went missing years ago and well... last thing I heard about him was that someone came along and sliced him in half then some doctor took his body."
When Reko said that last part it made the fur on the back of my neck stand up. I stood up and ran towards the front door.
"I'm sorry Reko I need to go out for a bit." Saying this I ran out of the house and into the woods, the rain still pouring down.
Reko just sat there looking at the photo.
"Drake...please...forgive me..."

All I could do was to keep running, I didn't care that I was drenched by the rain all I had in my head was one image play itself over and over again. The time I sliced that other fox in half.
I stopped running and was standing at the entrance to a water station.
"Could it be... that I killed my own brother?" I shook my head at the thought when I felt a presence come from behind me.
"Babe?" I turned around slowly and came face to face with a water Crunch.
"Crunch, is that you?" smiling Crunch nodded. "Crunch you're... taller and a bit bigger and seem to be made out of water." I just giggled and Crunch threw a water bomb at me. "Eww ok ok sorry babe".
"You better be Tiger as I had to drown to become like this" Dropping my ears I just stood on my tiptoes and gave crunch a quick kiss, it felt strange as he was made out of water.
I turned around and looked up into the sky, letting the rain hit my face and wondered if Drake was still alive.
