Chapter 2
Off to Kamiki
Ammy stared down at Waka, confusion filling her eyes. She yipped again, touching her paw to the Tao Master's shoulder. "…You wish to know…why I am in this condition…do you not?" Waka asked the wolfess, who nodded. "Would you like help? Or would you prefer to do it on your own?" Princess Fuse asked in her quiet voice. "I can handle it…" Waka replied, slowly turning onto his side.
Princess Fuse reached over, pulling the cloth from Waka's shoulder. This revealed a deep gash, seeming made by the talons of a demon. Ammy let out a long, mournful howl, and Waka swore he heard the voice of a dragon speaking "Omikami Amaterasu…why have you called me here?" the voice said, Waka would have looked, but the pain from the gash in his shoulder caused him to shut his eyes.
Amaterasu howled again. Yomigami looked from the sun goddess to Waka. "As you wish, Mother Amaterasu." When the voice finished, all of the Moon Warriors pain simply disappeared, as if into thin air. He looked up, seeing a somewhat opaque image of the God of Rejuvenation above himself and Amaterasu. Yomigami closed his eyes and was gone. Ammy barked, her tone similar to "Are you okay?" Waka sat up slowly, trying to get a good look at where the gash had been. But the attempt was useless, because he knew the Brush God had healed him. "I'm fine now, Amaterasu. Thank you." Waka said, and Ammy leapt into his lap and covered him with wolf slobber.
The next morning, the Moon Warrior and Sun Goddess said goodbye to Princess Fuse and the eight Canine Warriors at the entrance to Kusa Village. Then they began the long walk back to Kamiki. Still weak from his run in with some demon's talons, Waka tired very easily, and they had to rest in Agata Forest. After that, they had no issues on the way back to Kamiki.
As darkness fell that night, the moon turned a bloody red. A deep howl echoed from deep inside a cave in the hills of Kusa Village. The howl was not on of an injured animal, but the battle cry of Oki. Demons had taken over the cave he was staying in.
sorry it's so short, I hit a writer's block near the end. R&R please!
