Long ago, in the far away land of ancient Japan, there was a golden age of powerful gods and extraordinary heros. And the greatest and strongest of all these heros was the might-
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, narrator lady! Hold up!" Haineko cried out in irritation. "What do you think you're doing?"
Uh, starting the story?
"No, I don't think so."
"Isn't this considered copyright?" Asked Tobiume.
No! It wouldn't be exactly the same!
"I'm pretty sure that's what copyright is." The older of Katen Kyokotsu said smugly.
"We'll take it from here." Sode no Shirayuki cried cheerily.
Fine, fine! I'm out, it's up to you girls now.
"Don't worry, sweetheart, we got this." Haineko replied. "Now, where were we?"
"Ancient Japan, gods and heros." Katen Kyokotsu replied.
"Right, right. So a long time ago, some gods had a baby and his name was...Senbonzakura, really?"
"Well, he is kind of dorky like Hercules." Tobiume supplied.
"Hey! Nii-sama is amazing and heroic!" Sode no Shirayuki cried out angrily.
"Fine, fine. Anyway, so they had Senbonzakura and everyone was happy except the God of the dead, Muramasa. Angry because he was forced to be at the bottom of the hierarchy, he hatched an evil plan to overthrow the other gods and take control..."

Muramasa frowned as he walked back into his land. The dank smell of death was everywhere as the souls of the dearly departed floated past, occasionally grasping at his cloak. He frowned as he kicked them off before walking to his throne room.
"Zabimaru!" He called angrily. Two fingers, one a tall woman and the other a short boy came running the woman tripped and tumbled down the stairs they had been descending, the chain hooking her to the boy causing him to fall with her. The two tumbled down, landing at his feet.
"Saru!" The woman said as he pushed herself up.
"And Hebi!" Cried the snake.
"Reporting for duty!" They said in unison as they saluted him. Muramasa just frowned before motioning for them to follow him.
"I've got a question for you. How do you kill a god?" He asked as they walked.
"Uh...with a sword?" Hebi asked.
"No, stupid!" Saru said as she smacked him over the head. "You can't kill a god because they're immortal!"
"Exactly, Saru. So in order to kill one you have to make them mortal." He said as he pulled a vial off an alter, the liquid inside glowing ominously. Hebi and Saru eyed each other warily. "I want you to go to the castle of the gods and take the new baby boy and make him drink this. Every. Last. Drop. Then, I want you to kill him." He said.
"But, it's just a baby!" Saru cried.
"A baby now, a problem later. I have been planning this takeover for centuries and I refuse to have it foiled by some child. Now go!" He commanded. Saru and Hebi eyed each other again before bowing. Saru grabbed the vial and the two set off. Reaching the castle of the gods by nightfall, the skulk through the corridors before they finally find the baby's room. Senbonzakura slept quietly next to the ice dragon, Hyourinmaru, unaware of what was about to befall them as Saru and Hebi snuck in. Hebi quickly dealt with Hyourinmaru! shoving the little dragon in an urn and turning it over before begging dragged out of the room by Saru, who had already grabbed Senbonzakura and started running.
"Now we've done it! Muramasa's gonna get us killed!" Hebi yelled as they ran to the human world and hid in a cherry blossom forest. "Come on, let's just kill him already!"
"Hold on, he's gotta drink the potion. Give it here!" She cried frantically. Hebi pulled the vial out and put a top on it before giving it to the baby. She watched excitedly as the he drank it up, slowly loosing his godly glow.
"Come on, can't we kill him yet?! Someone could show up!" Hebi cried frantically.
"Not yet! He has to drink every last drop!" Saru growled back. The sound of footsteps caught their attention and the two panicked, putting Senbonzakura down and running to nearby bushes, pulling the almost empty vial from him and dropping it, causing it to shatter and one last drop to be spilled upon the ground. The sound of shattering glass and Senbonzakura's cries caught the attention of the passerby. A woman in a flowing red kimono followed the cries to the baby, carefully kneeling down and scooping up the small child.
"Oh, you poor thing! Don't cry." She whispered soothingly. "Is anyone there?" She called out. Hebi and Saru watched her carefully.
"Now?" Hebi askd.
"Now." Saru replied. The two morphed and merged, taking the form of a giant white monkey with a snake tail.
"What's your name, sweetheart?" The woman asked as she looked for anything to identify the baby. On the inside of his yukata she found his name stitched on the back. "Senbonzakura, huh. What a cute name." Suddenly Zabimaru jumped out, growling as they aimed to attack the child. The woman screamed but Senbonzakura only laughed, waving his hands in the air cheerily. The sakura petals around them started spinning along with his twirling arms and as he reached out for the Zabimaru the petals shot forward, each one cutting into their skin like tiny blades. Zabimaru howled in pain and turned tail, running as fast and as far as possible. When the danger was gone, the petals drifted safely down to the ground. Senbonzakura simply giggled as the woman looked on with shock. When Zabimaru finally stopped running, they split apart again, hissing as each movement seemed to agitate some cut somewhere.
"Muramasa's gonna kill us when he finds out!" Hebi cried.
"You mean IF he finds out." Saru replied.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IF, OF COURSE HELL FI-" Saru smacked him over the head before winking at him. Hebi looked confused before realization dawned upon him.
"If. If is good."
