Chapter 1

OKAMI AND HAKUOH

- 5 YEARS LATER -

Izanami has been crowned as the new King of Dawn and is in route to Beacon but went on a detour to the Island of Patch. He was traveling by horse accompanied by two honor guards. They are just about to arrive to they're destination.

Guard 1: "My Lord, was it wise to come here? I understand hes your friend but we have business with Beacon."

Izanami: "It'll be fine we still have till tomorrow. I'm sure Ozpin will understand."

Arriving to a house in the middle of the woods, there stood Tai watering the plants outside and was surprised when he made eye contact with Izanami.

Tai: "Izanami? Is that you?"

Izanami: "It's been a while old friend."

Tai: "Yes it has."

Both overcome with happiness laughed and hugged it out.

Tai: "Its been too long. I mean look at you! You've definitely gotten beefier. Look at them muscles. Not only that! New King of Dawn haha never thought I would be standing next to royalty who's my friend too."

Izanami: "Haha glad to see you haven't changed one bit. Always high spirited."

Tai: "Oh hang on! You must meet my daughters. YANG COME OUT HERE AND BRING RUBY! SOMEONE I WANT YOU TO MEET!"

The door slowly opened and came out a little girl with purple eyes and long golden hair. Next to her was an even smaller girl with black and red hair with silver eyes. Both holding each others hand. Both slowly approached Tai hiding behind his legs.

Tai: "Now Yang, Ruby this is an old friend of mine who's a King now. Would you like to say hi."

Yang: "Hello"

Ruby simply waves. Both girls stopped hiding from Tai's leg and walked up to Izanami. Izanami goes down onto his knees.

Izanami: "Well hello to you Yang and Ruby. Just how old are you two?"

Yang: "I'm five and Ruby just turned four this month."

Izanami: "Oh well happy late birthday Ruby I hope it was a good one."

Ruby smiled and giggled a bit while Izanami patted her head.

Izanami: "You know I have kids of my own who I brought with me. Would you like to meet them?"

Both girls nodded. Izanami stands up and turns to the woods.

Izanami: "BOYS HURRY OVER HERE NOW. FIRST ONE HERE GETS A TREAT BEFORE DINNER!"

As Izanami called out for his kids the bushes and trees started to rustle.

Guard 1: "My Lord would you like us to retrieve them."

Izanami: "No they know where to go. I made sure of that. They'll be fine."

A small boy then jumps out from the branches of a tall tree.

Hakuoh: "COMING DAD!"

Another leaps out the same tree.

Okami: "OH NO YOU DON'T!"

Hakuoh: "HAHA YOU CANT CATCH UP!"

Okami: "Growl WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT!"

Both fiercely with great speed, leaping from tree to tree was approaching the rest. Okami was annoyed and leaped even stronger and greater then before passing Hakuoh but has lost control. One of the guards rush over to Okami and caught him before he was able to hurt himself.

Okami: "Nice catch."

Guard 1: "sigh You must be really careful next time."

Okami: "Yeah yeah."

Hakuoh finally arrived and Okami turned to him.

Okami: "Looks like I won."

Hakuoh: "That's no fair you cheated."

Okami: "Did not!"

Hakuoh: "Did too!"

Izanami: "Quit it you two! Now what did I tell you about using your abilities for this training Okami."

Okami: "Oh you noticed haha. Clears throat Not to use it."

Izanami: "Exactly! You must train your body and strength before using your element in order to control it. Sigh Anyways Tai these two are my boys. Both 8 years old….. twins."

Tai: "Yeah I can see that. Hello you two."

Hakuoh: "Hello."

Okami: "Yo."

Tai: "So what are your elements?"

Hakuoh: "Fire."

Okami: "As you just saw Wind."

Tai: "Yes I saw that...Impressive."

Izanami: "Boys this is Yang and Ruby. Why don't you go and play with them for now. Get to know each other."

Hakuoh: "Alright."

Okami runs up to the girls and picks up Ruby. He then runs off with her towards the woods.

Okami: "Come on you two lets go play Hide and Seek. Ruby you can hide with me."

Okami smiles at her and Ruby returns the smile going along with Okami.

Hakuoh: "Haha sorry about him. He can be a hand full."

Yang: "Its ok. Anyways guess what?"

Hakuoh: "What?"

Yang: "You're it."

Yang runs off giggling to look for a hiding spot while Hakuoh sighs and starts counting down.

Tai: "Haha I have a good feeling that they'll become good friends."

Izanami: "Yeah…..Listen Tai I heard what happened and I'm sorry for what happened to Summer if you need anything or anyone to talk to just know I'm here for you."

Tai: "Thanks pal its good to know I have you as a friend. Maybe one day we'll come by Yamato for a visit."

Izanami: "That would be great."

- A WEEK LATER -

Back at the city of Yamato, Izanami and his two sons returned and quickly goes to see the Queen Eira. They entered the Kings room to find her sitting up in her bed holding a newborn baby.

Eira: "Welcome home boys.''

Izanami slowly walked over with a smile and the boys followed.

Eira: "Say hello to your new daughter… and your new little sister."

Izanami picks up the baby and smiles a big bright smile.

Izanami: "What shall we call you?"

Eira: "I already thought of a name Akari after your late mother."

Izanami: "Haha Akari I love it. Hi Akari welcome to your new family. Boys say Hi."

Both Okami and Hakuoh steps up to get a better look at their new sibling and smiled.

Okami: "So this means we're both big brothers now. Hakuoh you know what this means?"

Hakuoh: "What?"

Okami: "We have to become strong like dad so we can protect our little sister."

Hakuoh: "Yeah you're right."

Eira: "Haha and strong like your father you shall become and don't forget about me boys. Its your duty as men to protect women especially those who you love and care."

Okami: "Right! Don t worry Akari we'll both become strong to fight the scary monsters away for you."

Hakuoh: "Father we planned on going to the training grounds upon arrival right?"

Okami: "What? I forgot about that!"

Eira laughs as well as Akari. Okami was shocked of her little laughter toward his carelessness.

Izanami: "Haha yes you're right. Give us a moment ok."

Hakuoh: "Ok."

- MOMENTS LATER -

After checking on their new family member, Izanami and the boys leave the palace and started to heading to the training grounds.

Izanami: "I'll should be expecting one of the Generals to return with a report and will need to speak with the Senate about my meeting with Ozpin so I'll drop you off with Mifune. He'll train you today."

Hakuoh: "Well if it cant be help then….."

Okami: "AAAAAAH! But you promised!"

Izanami: "Sorry Okami maybe next time."

Okami: "Tch You said that last time."

As they were passing by the gates opened with at least a company worth of Dawnish soldiers. However, many of them were hurt and a wagon with a few dead.

Okami: "Dad…..Why do we keep on fighting the Grimm even when they're away from our borders if our own men will just die?"

Izanami: "Because we vowed that we will fight the darkness and evil of this world…..its part of our code?"

Okami: "Our code?"

Izanami: "Oh there you are Mifune. Alright boys go with him and train your hardest. I gotta talk to the General of this company and see the Senate."

Both: "Yes father."

Mifune: "Don't worry my Lord I'll make sure to train them to become great warriors."

Izanami: "And I thank you. Alright I'll see you two later."

Izanami leaves his sons to check on the wounded and to get a report on the Grimm assault. As he leaves Okami had an angry expression on his face while Hakuoh was concerned but curious.

Mifune: "Alright you two lets go."

The three leaves for the training grounds.

- AT THE TRAINING GROUNDS -

Mifune: "Alright you two lets see what you learned so far. Face each other. Bow. Now DRAW YOUR SWORD!"

Both Okami and Hakuoh drew their sword and charged at each other.

- 10 YEARS LATER -

Both of their swords made contact as they face each other. Both then backs off of each other then again charged striking and swinging at one another making both their swords make contact with each other. Again they backed off of each other. Both raised their hands and shot a fireball only for it to counter each other. Using the cover of the smoke Okami used the wind to jump really high and took a deep breath. Mifune standing on the side looked interested on what Okami was doing. Okami then released and blew a power wind towards Hakuoh causing him to lose his balance. Okami again used the wind to give him a boost towards Hakuoh and tried to strike him down. However, Hakuoh managed to regain his balance and blocked Okami's attack. Hakuoh then used his left hand to shoot a fireball at Okami making contact with his chest. Okami was knocked down on his back and Hakuoh quickly rushed to him pointed his sword at his neck.

Mifune: "MATCH! HAKUOH WINS!"

Hakuoh sheathed his sword and helped Okami up. Okami picks up his sword and sheathed it as well.

Okami: "Maaaan, I really thought I had you that time but once again you won. I'll get you one day by surprise."

Hakuoh: "Oh but you did brother. That attack you used what was it?"

Mifune: "Yes I would like to know too."

Okami: "Oh you mean my Wind attack I used on you. I've been training ever since I learned that I can use Wind. I figured I try to create an attack move with Wind so that way the element doesn't seem useless at all. I call it Wolfs Howl. But I only managed to perform it without issue recently so I still got a long way to go. Not to mention it only causes my opponent to lose their balance."

Mifune: "Well its very impressive Id never thought I see the day when a Wind user actual uses an attack move like that. You definitely took me by surprise Okami and I'm proud of you."

Okami: "Thanks teach."

Mifune punches Okami's head.

Mifune: "How many times do I have to tell you its Master not teach?! Anyways good job Hakuoh for still coming on top. Still the better fighter I see."

Okami: "HEY!"

Mifune: "Anyways any word on your second element?"

Hakuoh: "No Master."

Mifune: "Its an unusual condition but look at the bright side you only have to focus on training your Fire making more powerful then anybody else."

Hakuoh: "Yes you're right. Thank you Master."

Mifune: "No problem. Anyways that's it for today you two you're free for the remainder of the day."

Okami: "Alright! Hakuoh lets go eat lunch at the usual spot."

Hakuoh: "Ok."

Both leaves the training ground to pick up lunch from the marketplace and exited the city. Across the bridge near one of the field of crops is a tall hill where the brothers go to enjoy their meals.

Okami: "Would you look at that. Always a great view of the city from here."

Hakuoh: "Yes it really is a great view."

Both were siting next to a tree with a view of not just the city but the fields just across the bridge as well. Hakuoh having a sad expression on his face looks down at both his hands. Okami places his hand on Hakuoh's shoulder.

Okami: "Hey you still upset about not having a second element?"

Hakuoh said nothing.

Okami: "Well quit being so down about it. Remember what Mifune said you can be the most powerful Fire user in the whole Kingdom. I mean you've been beating me ever since we were little and I have two elements. And one is pretty much useless and my fire cant compare to yours. So lighten up a bit."

Hakuoh: "You're right. Sorry to worry you…...and sorry about always kicking your butt all the time."

Both stared at each other for a second and started to laugh. However, the laughter was silenced as they both noticed a group of soldiers returning to the city some were hurt and at least two dead. Both of their expression changed immediately.

Okami: "Hey Hakuoh. One day one of us is to be King right?"

Hakuoh: "Right."

Okami: "If you were to be King what would be your main goal?"

Hakuoh: "That's a good question. Hmm. There are some people around the World that still resents us and see us as a burden. I wish to change their opinion of us and see that we're actually good people."

Okami: "That's good of you."

Hakuoh: "What about you?"

Okami looks back at the returning soldiers.

Okami: "I want to end all this meaningless bloodshed and find another way to maintain peace. I also want our Kingdom to thrive like the First King of Dawn Hajime did and make it into the symbol of both peace and light."

Hakuoh: "That's a dangerous path you heading to brother."

Okami: "So is yours."

Hakuoh: "Haha you're right about that."

Okami: "I guess we're both fools that's dreaming too big."

Hakuoh: "One day brother our dreams will become reality as long as we work together."

Okami: "Together then."

Hakuoh: "Together."

Both shakes each other hands.

Hakuoh: "Now lets go back before mother starts worrying again."

Okami: "Oh I cant wait for another one of her lectures."

Both leaves the hill laughing and heads for the palace where both the King and Queen was waiting for their return.
