Authors note: I just got the idea for this story now. But if it sucks, tell me. I want brutal honesty. Tell me all my falling points and I will do better!
~Prologue~
It was a regular day in the stomach of the afterlife. Dark, no food, and a touch of bones here and there to make the stomach of the afterlife very homey.
But the day wouldn't be normal if the Kami's weren't fighting.
Today, they were playing poker.
"Royal flush!" Izanami (1) called for the fifth time. She had won every game so far. She was a pretty woman with orange, waist length hair and green eyes. She wore a green kimono.
"Damn it!" Susano-ô (2) growled, "She has to be cheating! There's no way anyone can play and consistently win!" He was a blue skinned man who wore a black male kimono. His black hair reached his shoulders.
Tsuki-yomi, (3) a white haired, blue eyed man who wore a grey male kimono, raised an eyebrow.
"Susano-ô," Amaterasu (4) said, "I doubt Izanami-san would cheat at a game she created." She had learned to be a peacemaker. She had long white hair in one braid, grey eyes, and wore a red and black kimono. She resembled her brother, Tsuki-yomi. Susano-ô was her brother as well, but he didn't have the same looks as the rest of the family.
As Izanami, Susano-ô, Amaterasu, and Tsuki-yomi played poker, Inari (5), Hachiman (6), and Kagutsuchi (7) enjoyed the entertainment while eating rice balls. "My specialty," Inari would say. He was a sweet old man who enjoyed good old fashioned selling.
The quarrelling continued. Until the door slammed open.
"Izanagi!(8)" The others gasped. Izanagi was a creator god along with Izanami. He hardly left his study.
"What's the occasion?" Kagutsuchi joked after Izanagi had seated. Izanagi, on the other hand, had a stern look on his face.
"This is serious business," He began. "We are nearing the fifteenth year since he arrived here."
Gasps were heard again.
"Oh, great!" Kagutsuchi said sarcastically. "Now we're in some sort of meeting!"
Inanagi, on the inside, scowled. Could the boy not be serious for five minutes? " Kagutsuchi, this is serious."
The others were quiet. But Kagutsuchi stood. "Why? We made a deal with him, so let's just follow through on it!"
"You don't get it!" Izanami stood now. "He's our servant! Who's gonna do our chores when he isn't here?"
"I-Izanami-san," Amaterasu shyly interrupted, "it will do no good holding him here. Kagutsuchi-san is correct. We should let him go." She looked up to Izanami, but sometimes Izanami could be selfish.
Meanwhile, in the village of Konoha, a mysterious stranger walked into a weapon shop. He was wrapped from head to toe like a mummy, in bandages, and wore a suit, sunglasses, and black loafers.
"Excuse me sir, can I help you?" A store hand asked, obliviously scared of the man.
When the man sidestepped the store hand, he grew annoyed.
"Sir, can I help you?" The store hand asked, a growing twitch in his eye.
The mystery man smirked under his bandages. "Are There any sharp kunais here?"
"How sharp?"
"Sharp enough to kill somebody with."
A large shiver passed down the back of the store hand.
Back to the Kami's.
Eyes were narrowed, fists clenched, fingers pointed, and killing intent flared. A regular 'discussion' amongst the Kami's.
"My brothers and sisters," Inari said, wistfully, "Let us have a vote to decide this, and restore peace."
The other Kami's were silent. Moments later, all the Kami's were relaxed in chairs, facing Izanagi who was speaking.
"We all must vote fairly." He began. "That means, only one limb per person, no complaining, and after words, each and every one of us will accept the results of this vote. Do we all accept the conditions?"
There was a brief silence as all the other Kami's went over the conditions in their heads.
"We accept." Amaterasu, as always, spoke for everyone. There were no objections, so Izanagi spoke.
"All in favor of him leaving us forever and returning to his home, alive and well, raise your hand."
Almost immediately, Kagutsuchi's hand shot up. "There's no reason he should stay here."
Amaterasu's hand was up next. "He should leave and be free."
Hachiman's gruff hand made its way to the air. "We had a deal."
Tsuki-yomi raised his hand, taking a sip of his tea as he did so.
Inari raised his hand. "The poor lad deserves to leave."
Izanagi's eyes roamed. He raised his hand as well. "All in favor of him staying here, working for us? Who wants us to go back on our word?"
Izanami's hand sprang up.
Susano-ô raised his hand, looking bored.
"Does anyone want to go back and change their minds?" Izanagi asked. No movements were made.
"We, the Kami's, have decided, six to two, that he will be leaving us."
(1) Izanami - creator goddess
(2) Susano-ô - violent god associated with storms and the sea, Amaterasu's brother
(3) Tsuki-yomi - moon god, Amaterasu's brother
(4) Amaterasu goddess - of the sun and fertility who brings light to the world
(5) Inari – god associated with rice and merchants
(6)Hachiman - god of warriors, known for his military skill
(7)Kagutsuchi - god of fire
(8)Izanagi - creator god
Authors note: For those of you wondering, no I did not make the Gods up. These Gods are from Japanese Mythology. I created personalities for them according to position. And if you are wondering about the mysterious stranger, he will be explained in the future chapters.
