((A/N oh hai ther :D
I deleted my other Ókami fan-fic as I wasn't really... you know, interested in it anymore?
I'll try to be original, but it's going to fail. D:
Anyway, here you go. Chapter No.1...))
3 years after the defeat of Yami, and Amaterasu was so bored.
Lying on the grass of the celestial plains, swishing her tail from side to side, she looked down to the earth below her and felt an awkward feeling in her stomach. It wasn't because of the height- Amaterasu never really got this when she looked out like this. It was just because she felt so damn lonely up here.
Behind her Kabegami the god of walls ran up behind her. Amaterasu looked round to see the cat stop a bit away from her, she was panting furiously and her whiskers drooped.
"Ama- ta-..." The cat paused.
"What's wrong?"
"Just give me a second" Amaterasu stood up. Kabegami recovered herself and took a deep breath
"On earth, the demons have returned! It doesn't make any sense! And worst of all, they are stronger than ever, nobody knows where they came from... not even us gods."
Amaterasu snarled so loudly Kabegami jumped half out of her fur.
"and after I worked so hard to get rid of them! It was meant to be for good!" Amaterasu walked away growling and feeling like she wanted to hit something. Kabegami, with her big frightened cat eyes decided not to bother the sun goddess anymore and turned and ran back to where the other gods waited.
They didn't need to be told about Amaterasu's reaction, Kabegami's eyes told all.
"Guessing she didn't take it well" Tachigami murmured.
"I thought she was going to rip me to bits for a moment!" Kabegami shivered.
Yomigami who was at the back of the group of gods, sighed loudly.
"And after she worked so hard."
"And freed us all" added Gekigami
"And helped all those mortals" Itegami said.
Kazegami looked out across the plains. "The world below us wouldn't be here either, or us."
"The world would be a horrible place" One of the Hanagami who was sitting on a rock spoke up.
"Nothing would be the same, we get it Ok?" Gekigami's bad temper showed in his words.
The gods where silent. "But what can we do?"
"Were gods for earth's sake!" Gekigami leaped out of the group to stand next to Kabegami.
"We can do anything we wish and nobody can stop us!" Kabegami looked up at the bigger of her species and felt envious.
"Well I can" a feminine voice answered Gekigami's growls.
"Oh Amaterasu." The tiger turned round to see her standing with a slight look of amusement on her face.
"That's my name." She trotted next to Kabegami, who squeaked and stepped away.
"As I was saying, I can't let any of you down there... but you can still do things up here."
"so you're going down?" Yumigami said in almost a whisper.
"Of course I am."
"In that case," Gekigami turned to the goddess. "Could I help you?"
Amaterasu held back a laugh, but quickly composed herself. "Oh sure. But you can just tag along with me for some of the way... with all these new demons around I would find it helpful."
Kabegami rolled her eyes and her eyes flamed with jealousy.
"Thank you then." Gekigami flicked his tail across Kabegami's nose, who pawed it away with a slight hiss.
"But Amaterasu..." Bakugami spoke up.
"Oh I'm fine now, I know you can't live without me hm?" Amaterasu joked, but it was true.
"In that case, when will we be departing?" Gekigami asked Amaterasu.
"Now"
"What?" Most of the gods cried out at once.
"You snooze you lose." Amaterasu said in a matter-of-fact way. The gods murmured among themselves before quieting down.
"In that case we will be departing." Amaterasu turned to leave.
"Oh and Kabegami" The cat looked across at Amaterasu, her ears flat on her head. "Be proud of who your descended from, not jealous"
The two gods started walking away, when Yumigami cried out to them.
"If you were wondering, as before they came from the north!"
Amaterasu looked at Gekigami, who looked back at her.
"Well, no time to lose!"
((I didn't want to end the chapter here, so how about some more: P))
In the frozen north of Nippon, the snow falls from the sky as fast as heavy rain; the wind whips it from left to right, and whistles loudly in the ears of all who live there.
Through the thick falling snow between the trees though, there is a bright red-orange light, glowing so brightly you could see it from so far away even in the blizzard. The light gets even brighter, then in fades away to nothing.
The snow-coated bush suddenly rustle, and out of it came two strange creatures... wolves, but with ears of a rabbit, hind legs of a hare, the tail of a squirrel, and the claws of a dragon, but they were all black, apart from piercing green eyes and claws.
Making strange grumbling noises, the two raise their heads to the sky that was throwing down snow. They both did a sort of snigger to themselves, but it was more like an animal being strangled. They lowered their heads and moved like lizards with a strange hop to their gait because of their hind legs. On their backs though, where long curved green swords with the same eerie glow as their eyes. They sniffed the air with big black noses, and grunted as if of happiness, before moving on through the thick blizzard that seemed to have no affect on them at all.
Further away from the creatures resting behind a rock from the snowstorm, a more ordinary wolf was shielding himself, but still a bit out of the ordinary.
Oki was hiding away from the blizzard for a while as it had got so bad he couldn't see a paw step in front of him. He kept thinking about how the weather had got worse ever since the demons had returned. He curled up and rested his head on his paws and waited for the blizzard to die down, but after ages nothing really seemed to happen.
Oki sighed and looked over the rock. It had died down enough to see outlines of shapes ahead a good distance away, so he set of again back to his house.
A lot had changed since Amaterasu had left. One- Samickle had rescued some people just like the Oinas, who had joined their tribe, so now the tribe was much bigger. Two- Ever since the demons had started coming again, the Oina had 'lost their human form' no matter how hard they tried they were stuck as wolves. Oki didn't mind it much, but lots of others did. Just as the Oinas had got rid of their problems they had come back again.
Oki thought the demons could have something to do with the new members, but nobody listened to him. That was another thing, one of the new Oinas, named Kurai, hated Oki for no reason at all. He and his brother would always pick on him, but Oki knew they would never fight him- they were too scared. Maybe that was why they did it.
Oki stopped suddenly as a strange sound came to him on the wind. It was like a screeching, wailing, screaming animal on its last legs, but much, much louder. Oki then saw something in the blizzard behind him, some creature or the other. It looked like a rabbit, but Oki saw its eyes and claws, and then the sword on its back.
Oki turned round to face them, but suddenly it seemed that time jumped and they were already in front of him. Before Oki could wonder what had happened, one knocked him with its sword and the other leaped on him. Oki snarled and pushed it off, his side hurt badly and he could feel his own blood dripping from it onto the snow but he ignored it and leaped onto the one that had slashed him. Oki pinned him easily and stabbed his sword right into its stomach. It gave out a last cry of pain and went limp, its green tongue hanging out onto the snow.
Oki turned round just as the other one had recovered and was running towards him and once again, time seemed to jump and the creature was already on him, dragging its huge claws down his sides. Oki shook him of easily and jumped on him again, but he moved out the way within seconds, and was on him again. What the hell is going on? He thought. When he tried to shake of the thing again it didn't work, so he rolled over onto his back to try get it off. Big mistake. Don't try it again.
The thing took out its sword and stuck it right into Oki's back. He cried out and went limp on top of the thing. It crawled out from under him and looked at Oki for a moment and grinned evilly. It pulled out it's sword from Oki and licked the blood of it, its eyes sparkled and it made lots of happy noises. It looked over to its fallen partner, and without any feeling of grief, ran off into the blizzard again.
