So here I am, writing an Okami fanfic. Why? Because the ending was left open, I thought Ameterasu and Waka would make a cute couple, I wondered how Ami looked as a human, and I couldn't find any fics for this awesome game. doesn't even have an Okami section! Sobs So here this goes!
Disclaimer: Check the game's credits. You will find my name nowhere in them.
Restoring Faith
Chapter 1
Okami Amaterasu sighed as she watched her companion attempt to get a room in the in at Kamiki. She glanced around, looking anywhere but the unfriendly face that was currently glaring at her blonde partner. The glare reminded her of how much time had passed.
"Look. We have the money. Are you going to give us a room or not?"
"I don't gotta give you nuthin'. I told ya, no dogs in my hotel. Get lost outsider!"
"Fine!"
Amaterasu silently padded after the now-grumbling blonde. She followed him as he stormed into the woods, and was not at all surprised when he suddenly turned his blade on her. She did not fight to defeat him, but simply held off his blows until he had worked of his anger.
Panting slightly the blonde landed, heavily but silently and collapsed on the ground next to the white wolf.
Amaterasu moved so that he could lean against her. He smiled gratefully, stroking her snow white fur.
"Sorry Ammy. I didn't mean to loose my temper, but that man! I swear I've never met a bigger jerk!" He smiled again as Amaterasu licked his cheek comfortingly. "I guess it's not a huge loss. I mean, we're used to sleeping under the stars. But I have to wonder what my ancestors think of me now. Waka, the last of the Moon Tribe, turned away from an inn for being in the company of a god!"
Amaterasu quietly gave a mournful howl. She understood Waka's frustration. After the final battle with Yami, the darkness, she and Waka had traveled far from Nippon, attempting to spread the word of the gods. But everywhere they had gone, there had been nothing but dishonesty and distrust. After a hundred year's travel, they had given up hope on the outside world and had returned to find solace in Nippon. But the hundred years had taken its toll on Nippon, and now it was just like the rest of the world.
Silently, Amaterasu made a single tree bloom, pink sakura petals giving her some solace. It was short lived however, as some called out "Who made that damn noise? Shaddup!"
Waka's look changed from one of anger to one of remorse. "What kind of world is this, that it can't receive a bloom tree with a smiling face?"
He sighed and wearily stood up. Amaterasu stood with him. She carefully watched the only being who had never abandoned the gods and a look of longing was painted across her face. It quickly vanished as he turned around.
"Well my friend, are you up for some hunting? We still need food."
Amaterasu gave a happy bark as she set off after the person who had become her whole world.
