Author's note- yes I'm making a rewrite of this...maybe it will be better written with less plot holes and,actually finished.(mostly I hope I get the personalities of the characters better.)
Chapter 1
Azure Regrets
(In the Darkness of the Boundary)
"Damnit what the hell happened?" the yellow hooded cape wearing sadist of a god of destruction named Terumi growled out in anger and, pain. The man picked himself up weakly fighting with the hero Ragna had taken a lot out of him, Terumi then thought with a slightly peeved expression after realizing one certain little detail " For fucks sake how the hell am I alive?!" He was in the boundary of all places but, he dissapated right in front of Rags, consumed by his own power or so he thought. He began walking aimlessly around knowing that time wasn't going to pass anywhere thanks to the boundary.
After a couple more steps he couldn't tell with the black environment if he was making any real progress. "This is starting to really piss me off, I didn't break out just to go back in here damn it all to hell!" Right as he growled that out he saw a light, one that made him glare venomously before saying with hatred gleaming off of the single word. "You." the light revealed a feminine form that gently lit the darkness of the boundary.
"Susanoo it's been long." each word echoed boundlessly it was if she was the very image of serenity and, Terumi hated her for it. Terumi took a step forward gaining a smirk saying with a sarcastic and, annoyed tone.
"Oh look what we've got here the tin can that shoulda been crumpled, seriously I have to wonder why you aren't in the scrap heap with Takamagahara." Amaterasu the master unit itself looked at the monster of a man with not anger or hatred but, with solemnity and regret. He was a monster she made herself, she knew he would walk this path but, she did nothing at all.
"I am able to still function due to the fact the attack you made on me, wasn't even worth a scratch on my shell." it was an honest answer one that made Terumi growl though right as he went to dash forward at her, she disappeared mere seconds before his glowing fingers could wrap around her face. Suddenly there was a blast of energy that sent Terumi into a roll which ended in him barely catching himself.
"Tch." he jumped from his position to dodge another bolt of pure light only for a beam to come down from above him and, slam him back down he was too slow. "Damn it..urk!" he coughed up a little blood he wasn't recovered in the slightest from his fight with the bloodedge.
"Calm yourself, you can not win like this Terumi you are far too weakened." Hearing that the man roared with anger before his dark green energy poured from his body and, he forced himself onto his feet.
"Go..haa..ha to hell you damn..haa..ha tin can!" Terumi was huffing breathless he was still confused on how he was alive, why Amaterasu was here and that was making it rougher to focus on the fight itself. "How..haa am I eve..urk..even alive?" he coughed up more blood as he spoke, if this kept up he would die again.
"I revived you Terumi because…." before the Master Unit could continue Terumi spit some blood out of his mouth from coughing, flicking a butterfly knife out of his pocket twirling it in his hand expertly.
"That..so huh well..hehe..guess we're mor..more alike than .I..I thought ..back to kill me yourself!" he threw the knife at Amaterasu who simply created a shield stopping it. She noticed Terumi had disappeared from his spot as she removed the shield from in front of her. "Surprise!" she heard him yell as she moved to the side allowing her to avoid the second thrown knife and, it made her move straight into his swinging kick. "You..wa..wanna kill me..don't ya get serious already?!" Terumi yelled out as he followed up with a heavy swing of an ouroboros blade, it shattered on impact while dragging her slightly into the air.
"You're killing yourself." she commented while Terumi went into his next attack a secondary swing with another blade which cracked and, withered shattering just like the then went to stomping on her head though he only managed to do it 5 times before kicking her in the chin to push her into the air again, he delivered a darkness covered foot to her stomach sending her skidding backwards.
"I'll rip you to shreds!" his form was covered in green energy as he lunged forwards at her, she once again dodged it pushing lightly on his back sending him to the ground face himself up the barely alive Terumi gripped at his heart what was wrong with him this was more than fatigue.
"Your body in this world is failing you Terumi, all the hatred, pain,torment,misery every ounce of it is making your power rip your body apart." Terumi looked at her with a different look not one of confusion or anger but, surprise before shaking his head growling out.
"Bullshit!" he roared before running forward conjuring an Ouroboros blade on each of his wrists they were cracked and, broken in spots Terumi ignored their state throwing them to the ground having them reappear wrapped around Amaterasu's slim form. "I'll show you." as Terumi announced that his form was wrapped in darkness taking the form of a shadowy version of the Susanoo armor creating a large sword made of dark green energy. As he swung it he roared"The True meaning of God!" right as the blade was about to slam into Amaterasu's head she blocked the blade with her hand.
"Is this all?" she asked while the blade shattered with her mere touch and, the flames disappeared off Terumi's body.
" ..way even. cough cough cough.." he entered a coughing fit the blood melting into the shadowy darkness that served as the boundaries floor. Terumi heard a metal clunk to his left. He turned and, went wide-eyed it was the susanoo unit, he understood what she wanted.
"Your..urk cough..a cocky..bitch..cough..cough." he weakly put his hand onto the suit before merging with it. There was a roar and, then an explosion of dark power that Amaterasu didn't flinch to.
"Amaterasu!" Susanoo roared out with hatred lurching forward at her she looked at his state, analyzing it not out of curiosity but, more out of worry for itś condition.
"His body is still breaking down from the hate, even in his old shell it cannot be contained, then maybe...no I must end this now." Amaterasu cared not for the idea of executing her brother unit and, greatest protector. Even with cracks forming already in the destructive god's body he lunged at Amaterasu.
"I'll Crush you into Oblivion!" she dodged each of his attacks before blasting him with multiple beams of energy sending him backwards, though it only stopped him for a mere few seconds. He jumped to his feet aiming to bite an arm or maybe a leg off of her, only for her to side step, making him stumble to the ground. He got to his feet creating an energy blade of darkness, going to swing for her neck though it shattered the moment it hit her.
"Brother calm yourself, your anger is driving away what composition remains in you." she said gently though Susanoo lunged locking it's claws on her shoulders and, opened his mouth. Green energy poured through it's mouth glowing brighter and, brighter, though Amaterasu touched Susanoo's face where it had cracked it glew with white light the crack fixing itself.
"Wha..what did you?" his voice lost it's edge as a light warmth spread through him, he took a few steps back as the green glow slowly dissapated from it's mouth. Susanoo couldn't feel his anger brewing, he did feel however something else. He clawed at his head as everything he had done flooded in and, he suddenly felt flows of emotions he understood what they all felt when he did what he had done to them. One final memory filled his mind of a woman he killed and, how much it hurt to really remember her.
"Trinity." Susanoo whispered before dropping to it's knees green embers dropped to the ground from it's flaring eyes before he gave a resenting and, terribly pained look towards Amaterasu growling. "What. ..done to me!" Amaterasu walked over to the Susanoo as he forced himself up.
"I've given you something you long have been missing brother...your emotions, your love, your happiness all the emotions you've never been able to feel." that made Susanoo look at her lowly growling though he couldn't condemn her in his mind, she was doing something good to him why though why spare him?
"Why..what are you after...ungrr doing this to me?" Amaterasu looked at him in such intensity that he could feel sadness even in her bright featureless face. Her voice whispered into his mind gently.
"To give you a chance of redemption...though you'll go to another world to be reborn." Susanoo stood up completely chips of his armor falling off with every breath.
"She'll get rid of me and, send me to another world but it doesn't matter I'll crush everything just to prove her wrong." he wouldn't submit to Amaterasu no matter what even after getting hit with the broadside of the emotional ladder. After that thought passed through his mind light enveloped everything around him before it was his mind lost in darkness.
A child was born in a village close and yet so far from the world it once knew a golden glow in it's eyes that turned into a curious green.
(In a dream 14 years later)
It was pitch black and here on the dirt road stood a single girl her blonde hair brightly contrasted her tired weary demeanor. She walked forward as the unnaturally large moon's pale light guided her through the all consuming darkness. There was one other source of light among the shadows, that was the forest set ablaze by sickly green flames that helped illuminate the ground around the girl. She noticed the amongst the glow gleams of red danced along the grass though she did her, best to ignore it. Along the road she noticed that there was a sudden crackling that rattled her ears, she didn't investigate she had an idea of what it was and she knew it wasn't leaves this felt to...human.
Finally reaching the village she could hear the screams of mercy not of just those who were dying inside but, the cries of the stars at why such a calamity was given allowance to exist. There walking through she saw all her friends bodies savagely cut and, bludgeoned to death but, at this point this repetitive process she was forced through in this nightmare like the continuum shifts stopped surprising and, mortifying her. Finally at the center of this living hell the girl saw the source of the destruction, and a fist tightened. A shadow only distinguishable by the bright yellow cape played with a knife in it's hand before stepping towards her crushing in the girl's best friend's head.
The girl stood still keeping herself in check as the shadow removed the hood covering its face in darkness, it was her and the fires of the burning village served to help the double's eyes glow a menacingly yellow as both the girl and the double let out dry laughs for different reasons.
(Marisa Pov)
"Ahh!" I popped my head up quickly from my pillow checking my body and, the room around me slightly unnerved by the nightmare before I began to talk to myself lightly. "Calm down Marisa it's fine, you're fine and everyone else is too. " I went to walk past a mirror while heading to the bathroom, turning to see him the old me holding his shit eating grin. "No.." I thought before continuing on my way "I'm no longer that monster, I'll never be him again." I had gained quite a few things in the past years a true understanding of mortality and, of having things you truly care about not placid obsessions.
After washing up and, getting dressed I pulled my hat on unsure what to do with the day"that dream has left me more rattled than I figured." I sighed I did feel guilty...slightly very very lightly for hiding so much from everyone well more Reimu and Alice than anyone else. "I get it conscience quit eating me up." I muttered knowing full well it was high time I tell at least Reimu who I truly am.
I grumbled though while putting my hat on it was agonizing bright outside so I tipped it down to cover my eyes in shadows, like I used to with my hood. "I'll walk today no point in flying around and, missing the calming sight of nature." as I muttered that it wasn't more than 10 minutes until my peace was aggravatingly disturbed by the rowdier residents dumbass faires. I narrowed my eyes at the one in front of the group leading the charge hissing out softly "Back off and, leave me be or you're all dead." normally I would be less well threatening with it but, I was in a bad mood as is.
"Eep scary." the leader fairy cowered slightly but, in the end she shook her head slightly nervous of me while saying "G..Get her go..good!" they charged at me and, normally I would danmaku them all down but, I had places to be, confessions to make.
"If you want to play that way then…" I gave a sinister grin while walking to them with a hand behind my back a green glow taking it over before I lunged at them hissing out "I'll take out some aggression on you!" They weren't worth the extra few minutes it took me to get through with them, so after that I finally got to Reimu's shrine doing my best to remove any darker, unfitting emotions from myself. "Hey ReImu you here da ze~?" I asked playfully as I entered to see my favorite shrine maiden preparing tea. She looked at me and, responded dryly.
"Something annoying arrived this early in the morning joy." I rolled my eyes while walking over to her to sit down while saying with a cheerful tone.
"Oh please Reimu you know you love me and my company." this time it was Reimu's turn to roll her eyes and, she just told me.
"Whatever so why are you here to fight me or something?" After she said that I couldn't help but, think about Rags for a moment chuckling mentally thinking they would make quite the pair.
"Neh I can't come here to talk with my good friend while having a good drink of tea~" Reimu hardly looked entertained by me there so I coughed into my hand before telling her with a tone that had my usual playfulness erased from it "Look it's somethin really important Reimu and, it kinda ties into why I haven't been sleepin all that well." that would get her attention since Reimu herself had been barking at me to sleep better.
"That so huh well what's wrong then Marisa?" I suddenly gained a cold sweat I didn't actually think this far ahead when it came to telling her. I began playing with fingers fiddling with them as I told her lowly.
"Uh well that is..umm well for one I've been having nightmares…" I slapped myself mentally of course I've been having nightmares, but why in the hell would she give a damn at that? "And uhh well I wa..wanted to tel..tell you…" she decided to go to her own conclusion after see how stuttery I the shameless Kirisame was.
"Marisa can you get to the point on the nightmares, I for one don't really care for your sexuality…" that made me cough for a moment and, growl out at her.
"Your not taking this seriously at all are you?" she shrugged which made me sigh before going to try to tell her about my past again, when a taunting voice whispered into my ear in a very suggestive voice.
"Oh my the little witch is having scary nightmares do you want a certain gap youkai to come comfort you at night?" I pushed Yukari's face away from mine as she dicked around acting hurt about the fact that I quickly rejected the idea.
"Screw off Gap hag." I had to keep a steady glare at her she reminds me way to much of myself when I was Terumi and, that wasn't a good thing, reminders were never good things for me. She went to follow up with a sly smile crowding her face..
"Oh come on Marisa I just want to hear about what's troubling you so much." I decided to take a much more blunt way of dealing with her knowing well how to kill off her fun.
"Oh that Gap hag I just had a nightmare where I brutally killed everyone with glowing yellow eyes and a killer laugh." she deadpanned while Reimu seemed to give me a slightly worried look. I couldn't go tell Reimu now that the damned gap hag was around so I just told Reimu with an unsure look "Hey i..'ll get back to you about what's going on kay?" she nodded before telling me.
"Alright but, if you do have anymore nightmares just come tell me alright and if I find out you go trusting that weird doctor I will kick your ass." I rolled my eyes I had enough of crazy doctors after messing around with Relius, so I wouldn't dream of relying on Eirin to help me sleep.
"Yeah, right like I'd let that women give me a drug without testing it first." after that I left the shrine with a sigh planning to try again tomorrow or the day after that though, I felt a chill run down my back though something told me bad shit was about to happen, but I did my best to ignore it despite knowing that doing that wouldn't end well.
