Many people were begging me to do another story so here it is.
All you people who were begging you can stop now I GIVE IN!
Here is the story now read on dear readers, read on.
100 Years after Amaterasu's death
Almost 100 years since I lost you. Waka thought. On the Kamiki Festival it will be exactly 100 years since Orochi was defeated and you died ma chérie. Waka has spent 100 years alone fighting demons and guarding the Moon cave. He guarded the cave to make sure that nobody removed the sacred sword Tsukoyami that was used to kill Orochi. Amaterasu lost her life fighting Orochi and Waka was the last thing she saw of the world.
"Waka we urgently need your help," That was Queen Himiko's voice. "the demons are gathering in Ryoshima Coast and could attack Sei-an city. The Tao Troopers will move in once you arrive." Waka would rather pray for Amaterasu to come back but he was the Tao Master for a reason.
"Tres bien." Waka said and set off towards Ryoshima Coast. Little did he know that he was just making another one of his biggest mistakes.
…………………………………………………………………………………………..
The Tao Master left. Nobody was around…except one person. He was here on a mission to prove the villagers that the legend was just a legend and nothing more. He walked towards the bell, the same one as seen on Orochi's back, and stopped by the sword. The sword used to banish Orochi from the rest of the world. Nagi's sword, Tsukoyami. If it was removed…darkness will take over the whole of Nippon.
"Is this Tsukoyami?" The figure talked to himself. "Is this the sword the great Nagi used to kill Orochi? No it can't be. It's a legend. Nothing but a fairytale." The figure pulled the sword. Once it was out the figure saw red eyes staring at him and he dropped the sword. As soon as the sword made contact with the floor, Orochi's evil power was free. The figure ran and tripped at the bottom of the stairs and came face to face with Orochi.
"O he who seeks power, he who has broken my bonds," Orochi said in his reptilian voice. "speak the words 'I wish darkness unto the world'. Utter that prayer unto me and release my power." The figure stayed silence. Orochi howled in anger and the figure ran out of fear. Orochi chased him to the Moon cave exit and released his power to cover Nippon in darkness.
…………………………………………………………………………………………..
Waka stopped at Taka Pass. Something was wrong. Taka Pass was ruled by a demon called Crimson Helm about a year ago. He appeared from Orochi's blood 100 years ago after Waka left and fought against the keepers of the Gale Shrine. The Tao Troopers were trying to defend Sei-an city so they couldn't help the people in Kusa Village. The wind in Taka Pass stopped blowing and monsters moved in.
That wasn't the reason Waka felt wary. Something big was going to happen. Something big has happened while he was gone. Ah contraire no! Waka thought. He can't be back. That monster can't be back. He took my happy life away from me and I'm not going to let him see the light of day again! Waka jumped off towards Shinshu field to find a dark figure run towards Kamiki village. Waka would've run after him if it weren't for the darkness to take over.
A huge earthquake shook and a loud roar went off, a powerful wind blew past and the place was covered in darkness. Plants died and animals disappeared. Monsters moved in and people turned into stone, never to move again.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
Only one place was spared by the darkness. An area under the guardian tree Konohana was protected by the tree and the statue of Shiranui was about to be disturbed. A rock flew into the direction of the statue and was going to collide! A wood sprite broke the rock to protect the statue. The wood sprite was called Sakuya.
"How troublesome." She said. "This is just like the ancient prophecy of doom. Why has demons ruined this beautiful world?" She made a circle motion with her hand and a divine instrument appeared. "Amaterasu now is the time. Use your power to fix this broken and polluted world. Defeat those who seek to ravage our beautiful home of Nippon." She threw the divine instrument into the air and it landed on the back of the Shiranui statue. The statue then came to life!
I'm back! Amaterasu howled in happiness. She shook her fur and glitter came off her fur. She jumped and landed in front of Sakuya.
"Ah such divine white light. Such beauty and grace." Sakuya said. "Indeed only a being so powerful can handle this which is our mother and origin of all that is Amaterasu."
Yep thank you, thank you. Now where is my lovey dovey? Amaterasu asked but Sakuya didn't understand her actions."Seeing you reborn from a statue brings happiness to my heart." Sakuya sniffed in happiness.
Yawn; tell me when you've finished your dramatic speech. Amaterasu yawned and acted like she was asleep.
"Amaterasu." Sakuya said getting slightly impatient. "Gaze above you and take in the condition of the sky." Sakuya said a big speech and Amaterasu was wishing she could just run off and find her lover, her dream, her life. She wished she could hear him play his flute and pat her head and tell her how much he loved her. She wanted to jump on him and lick his face until he pushed her off him and laughed it off. She wanted Waka and nothing else really mattered. Just then Amaterasu heard Sakuya laugh and a bug thing landed on the floor in front of her.
"OWOWOW! Man for a little thing you sure make a big fuss." He said. "I was just trying to make the conversation a little more interesting that's all."
"Were you sleeping in my robe again bug?" Sakuya asked.
"Bug? I told you a thousand times I'm not a bug." He said.
Then what are you? Amaterasu asked but she already knew the answer. A microscopic person?
"I'm a wandering artist." The 'bug' answered. "The names Issun. I'll show you and it won't be long before you're bowing before my great brush." Issun threw the scroll he was holding into Amaterasu's face. It was a sketch of Sakuya, a really good one too.
Nice I like this better than the real one. Amaterasu said. It doesn't complain or make boring speeches. Issun bounced towards Amaterasu and landed on her nose. Amaterasu growled at Issun.
"What's up with you furball?" Issun asked. "You look down in the dumps." Amaterasu had had enough and she grabbed Issun and closed her mouth on him. She spat him out and Issun changed to an evil red colour. "WHOA! ARE YOU CRAZY!? A HANDSOME GUY LIKE ME SHOULD NEVER BE COVERED IN WOLF GERMS!" Issun took out his sword. "THE GREAT ISSUN TAKES OFFENCE! DON'T MAKE ME USE MY SWORD DENKOMARU AGAINST YOU!" Suddenly a loud roar was heard which made the earth shake. "W…w…what was that?"
"Great mother Amaterasu," Sakuya spoke again. "I have used all my power to protect the village. Their spirits live on inside my fruit. Cut it down and the village will be restored." Sakuya disappeared and reappeared as the guardian tree Konohana but the tree was withered and looked like it would collapse. "I trust in you. I know you will lead us down the right path."
"So the trees returned back to normal eh?" Issun said but Amaterasu's thoughts were mainly on finding Waka. She knew she couldn't get anywhere with the place in the state it was in so she would sort the area out then move on. "That Sakuya sure said some weird stuff." Issun mumbled to himself about using a special power to cut the fruit down. Amaterasu noticed her powers had left her after being trapped in stone for years. She needed to retrieve them. She walked forward towards where the statue of Nagi was into a door of light and into a new world.
To be continued.
I tried to make them think of each other as much as possible.
Not even I know what will be next but we shall soon find out.
Review please for the sake of this story. I want it to end happier than the last.
