Welcome to my new SPN/Ōkami crossover! This is going to have spoilers for the game, therefore, don't read this fic if you plan on playing Ōkami. I mean major major spoilers. Dialogue will be taken directly from the game because I wasn't sure how else to do this. I may be creative with fics, but I'm not that creative. This is demigod!AU, meaning my SPN character, Aline, is a demigod, instead of a half-demon like she is in the regular series (well, former demon, but you get the point). The characters of SPN will be taking on the roles of one or two characters in the game. I only have ideas for five SPN characters and six Ōkami characters. If you have any ideas for who should be what character, message me either on here, AO3, Wattpad, or Quotev (I also have this fic up on those websites under the same name). Ideas are very much appreciated. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I wrote this.
Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognize except for Aline and the plot.
This whole fic will take place in season 9.
Long, long ago, a tiny hamlet known as Kamiki lay nestled in a grove of proud and beautiful cherry blossoms. Each and every tree around the quiet burg was honored as a god. However, the village was not without its dark secrets.
To satiate the appetite of Orochi, a fearsome cave-dwelling beast, a young maiden was offered as a sacrifice at the annual festival. With a body like a mountain and 8 heads mounted on necks the size of tree trunks, its blood-red eyes alone were said to curse anyone who gazed into them. No one dared disobey the horrific beast.
When the night of the sacrifice drew near, a mysterious white wolf appeared outside the village. This wolf, its coat as brilliant as snow, was dubbed Shiranui. The wolf kept a watchful eye on anyone who ventured outside the village, and made a habit of patrolling the streets at night. People assumed the wolf to be a familiar of Orochi.
One villager took it upon himself to face the fearsome Shiranui. The warrior Nagi attempted many times to challenge the wolf. But his attempts were thwarted by Shiranui's swift movements.
Before long, the night of the accursed festival had arrived. A white plumed arrow heralded the coming sacrifice. Piercing the sky, the arrow sunk its shaft squarely into the home of Nami, the village's most beautiful maiden. Nagi, harboring a secret love for Nami, was enraged by this sign. Determined to put an end to Orochi once and for all, Nagi traveled to the beast's cave in place of his beloved.
The Moon Cave, a place as dark as evil itself, served as Orochi's home. As Nagi stood before the entrance, a beast appeared, eyes glowing crimson upon 8 thrashing necks. Orochi stood tall before him, anxious for another sacrifice. Nagi leapt with incredible grace, swinging his blade valiantly. On and on he sliced, well into the moonless night...
But Orochi's hide was like steel. The blade left nary a scratch.
At long last, Nagi, his energy spent from the intense battle, dropped to his knees, fatigued and gasping for breath. He knew he was staring death in the face. It was then that the wolf appeared. As if to protect Nagi, it stood its ground before Orochi. In the darkness of the cave, the wolf's coat shone brilliantly.
Alas, it was Shiranui, the wolf that dwelled outside the village. Baring its fearsome claws, Shiranui leapt toward Orochi. Orochi reared its terrifying heads, readying its fangs for battle. The two beasts struggled wildly, thrashing in the darkness.
Mysterious and terrifying,the spectacle continued. Shiranui summoned gusts of divine wind to counter Orochi's flames.
As Ororochi closed in on Shiranui, sharpened claws glistening, a gigantic tree suddenly sprouted forth, shielding the wolf. Shiranui fought gallantly to gain the upper hand. However, Orochi, protected by a mystical power, was not easily bested. Shiranui, covered in gashes, majestic coat died crimson, stood exhausted before the mighty Orochi.
Orochi saw a chance to strike what would be the final blow. But Shiranui refused to give in. With its last ounce of strength, the majestic wolf gazed heavenward and unleashed a mighty howl. Suddenly, the black clouds overhead dissipated. The light from above glinted off Nagi's sword as a beacon of hope.
Guided by his sword, Nagi,who had been taking shelter in the shadows, stood proudly to face his adversary. Channeling all his strength into his scarred and battered arms, he leapt ferociously toward Orochi, his sword poised high. The golden sword danced in his hands like a puppet on a string. One by one, Orochi's fearsome heads separated from their owner.
Orochi's broken body collapsed in a lake of its own blood. In that instant, the curse that plagued the villagers was lifted. As the battle subsided, the sun shone once again in the sky. Shiranui had succumbed to Orochi's poison and struggled to breathe. Nagi scooped the beast into his arms and returned to Kamiki.
When they reached the village, Shiranui was no longer moving. The village elder gently stroked the wolf's head. In response, Shiranui let out a hoarse and pitiful bark...
Then closed its eyes and drifted off as if into slumber.
Peace had at last returned to Kamiki Village. In honor of Shiranui's heroic exploits, the villagers erected a shrine and placed a statue of the white wolf within it.
Nagi's sword was christened "Tsukuyomi" and placed inside the Moon Cave. The villagers all looked forward to an age of endless peace...
She knew it wasn't the end of the story, but Mom always ended it with, "And they all lived happily ever after."
It was a story she knew all too well because Mom always told it to her at bedtime. It was her favorite story and one she'd always ask for every night. There were times when she'd want to re-enact the story with a couple of her friends, and they'd show it off in front of their parents. At first, she believed it was completely make-believe, but it turned out to be part of her history. She didn't even realize that she'd be living out the continuation of that story.
Next time on Sun Rise:
"O, he who seeks power... He who has broken my bonds... Speak the words, 'I wish darkness unto the world.' Utter that prayer unto me, and unleash my power."
