After finding out about his families near extinction at the Sudeki temple Raikotsu was distraught and wasn't sure what to think about this. The man that trained him died and his son had taken his place, and so many of the branch family had been murdered that there was barely any branch family left. Even the main family took a huge hit. These were dark days for the Sudeki clan...
"The Katashi..."
Raikotsu thought aloud to himself. Those animals attacked our family without warning... That was not the way of the warrior, you look a man in the face and let him know your intent to attack before you make a move. Thats what he was taught, thats how he was raised. There was only one place he could go to get more answers, his father. With the thought in mind he headed straight for his fathers house, the head of the Sudeki family.

The door as usual was open, but standing outside the door was Rok, one of the branch family soldiers. Inside would be Kentler sitting in his seat of power and Loyd not far off with his straw hat, red vest, blue jean shorts and sandals drinking.

Raikotsu stopped before entering his fathers house to turn and look at Rok. He laid a hand on the mans shoulder.
"We lost a lot of good family. A lot that we were close too. The only people we have to blame are the Katashi for doing such a horrendous act. It is in this time of need that all of us, Main and Branch family members stand strong together and fight this enemy head on."
He took his hand off of the mans shoulder and gave him a nod before walking in.
"Father."
He said bowing his head slightly, knowing this would slightly make him twitch in his seat feeling uncomfortable. He turned and saw his grandfather Lloyd.
"Old man, I see you haven't kicked the bucket yet. How are you doing geezer?"

Loyd's back was turned as he lay on his side towards the window looking out into the female's part of the compound drinking the bottle. The response would simply be a raise of his left hand as it transformed into a middle finger.
Kentler did shift in his seat uncomfurtable of the formality.
"You know I hate when you do that, Rai."
Rok stood taller at the door due to Raikotsu's words.

Rai laughed at his grandfathers response and shook his head.
"Sorry pops, but the day is too dark to not have a little lightening of the mood. But I did have a reason for coming here, what exactly happened at the temple while I was gone on my trails? What all have I missed?"

It was a long list, but it needed to be said. Loyd even turned over to watch and listen.
"The Katashi, or what can only be identified as their clan attacked as Barkers assault hit the world. We where devistated, both parties in many ways. Many of our families soldiers and children where lost. Leon and Spike decidedly moved us here, and went off to figure out what to do. Leon vanished, and Spike shortly after him. We havn't heard anything from the two since."

This was a lot more to take in than he had even considered. Sudeki family attacked, Barkers world assault, and the disappearance of his famed uncle Leon whom he looked up too and his good friend and cousin, Spike. Rai's anger started to flair but he kept it in check and cooled off before speaking again.
"What leads do we have right now? Any idea on where Leon or Spike have gone, or even why the Katashi attacked us at such a sacred place?"
He looked to his father hoping that he had some answers, he even chanced a look at his grandfather to if maybe by some grace of god he would know what was happening.
"You know anything? Maybe Leon left you a message or Spike even?"

Kentler would speak up this time.
"Last we heard they had controle of Inglewood and Compton. I'd start in either of those area's."
Loyd would even chime in.
"If you where Spike, and your father had just been declared missing, what would you do?"

Listening to both men he had come up with a quick plan, not sure how successful it would go but it was a start. Responding to Loyd Rai said.
"Well... I would hunt down my fathers location, and kick everyones ass that got in my way."
Rai looked at his father giving him a flash of a smile.
"But my dad wouldn't go and get himself caught now would he?"
Rai laghed to himself and shook his head.
"I think I have decided that I will try to find Spike, he should be rather easy find... Or so I hope. I'll start looking in the city, and from there I will head over to whichever location is closest. Anything else anyone might want to add before I head out?"
Looking at Lyod he asked
"Any words of wisdom, from a wise elder that exceeds the known years of many?"

Loyd would speak this time.
"Don't under estimate anyone. Go all out one hundred percent of the time."
Kentler would nod.
"Thats sound advice if I ever heard it."

Rai took the words to heart he knew they were words of wisdom.
"May I make a suggestion, dad? About what we should do with all that has happened?"

Kentler would look at Raikotsu a slight raise in his right eye brow.
"Go ahead."

Rai took a moment to collect his thoughts before saying what he knew would be a radical idea, but he needed to make sure that everything he said was heard as he wanted it to be heard.
"Right now our family is in a turmoil over what happened. That turmoil will lead people to make stupid decisions and make sloppy mistakes, despite their training. What I am now proposing is that we put everyone back under training, no matter their age or position. Everyone should be put back into a training regiment so they could put their hurt, sadness, anger, and frustration into one thing, and one thing only. Training to become strong enough that this will NEVER happen again..."
He paused for a moment knowing that this next part would be the hardest to convince...
"What I suggest now, I know how it will sound but listen carefully and think it over, is that we combine the family again. There will no longer be a "branch" family, only a MAIN family. Everyone is equal, everyone receives the same training, and EVERYONE will be each others example of excellence. We bring back the Sudeki roots right to the core and we make everyone a warrior again. Not a separation of powers like "Guards" or "soldiers" or even "housewife" no everyone is just as capable to defend the family as the man or woman next to him or her. We lost too many Main and branch families to really be scrutinizing over who's better than who because of their parents were. Later on we can build up our branch family again if there is a need of it. But right now there is none. We must become stronger as a family so that the next time someone decides to attack us in a sacred place it will be they who are nearly wiped out."
Rai had finished speaking and he felt that he had made his point well. But now it fully dawned on him that he just told all this to not just his father, but the head of his entire clan, as well as his grandfather the head before his father. This could go south really quickly...

There was silence for a while after Raikotsu finished talking, Kentler and Loyd looking between each other a few times, before anything would be said.
"Thats not the first time this idea has been brought up. Your cousin suggested the same thing. It's been takin into account and we are working towards it as an inevitable goal."

He was surprised to hear that Spike had said that then he thought about it and it did make sense, he thanked his elders before leaving. On his way out the door he was pondering something, If Spike would suggest such a thing would Leon? Then he wondered what would happen if he was found and did believe in this new policy... Would his voice make it that much easier of a conversion? It was decided before he did anything else he would look for his uncle. He went of into town to see if he could find some clues.
