Info: Gotta love my version of Oni! Anyway, the next chapter to God's Love... I hope you enjoy this series, and have a good laugh with it. Remember: I DO NOT USE LEMONS SO NO WORRIES FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HATE THEM!
The next morning came faster than Kari had hoped it would. When she woke up in the dingy campsite, it took her a minute to remember where she was. She had been cold the entire night, just as the Fierce Deity had predicted, but she stuck where she had been by the fire and slept in a ball of some sort. One thing she noticed, when she woke up, was that the deity was not there. Kari sat up and rubbed her head as she glimpsed around the campsite for him.
"Not here..." Her eyes changed to slits as she searched even harder. I wonder if I'm still in a pace space... Maybe I can try to get away again... Won't know till I try. Kari pondered until she finally stood up and began off into the thick foliage. It was a quiet morning with only the soft chirp of the morning birds and the running of the river which had flooded slightly from the rain downstream. She was back in the plains in no time, but she froze in her place. In the middle of the enormous field, two figures stood. One, was the fierce deity, his silver hair was unmistakable even in the far off distance. The other, Kari did not know, but it wore a mask and didn't look as Terminan as the deity did. The strange being was taller than the deity, thinner than the deity, and had brown rough-looking skin. It was most definitely in-Terminan.
"Wah... Ooom...SET!" The being bellowed and fireballs crashed down from the air behind him and towards the fierce deity.
"Hut!" He dodged just in time and drew a huge blade that looked as if two metals, blue and green, had been weaved together loosely. "Majora, you're getting a little lazy are you!? What are you doing here, this is my space!"
"Huh u hu..." Majora chuckled. "I go where I please..." A dark hissing voice, thunderous and frightening, replied with a laugh. "I imagined you would be here anyway, perhaps it's time to settle this never-ending ancient battle and decide who is truly stronger?"
"I was just thinking the same thing, tough thing is though, we already know who's strongest!"
"And who would that be?"
"ME YOU OVERGROWN PINATA!" The Fierce Deity shot forward with the taunt and slashed his sword vertically, then horizontally, and then he kicked Majora back. "How do you like that!?"
"Not bad, I must admit, but I'm sad to say, it was rather pitiful! Keplas!" The eerie word brought forward three tornadoes that caught the fierce deity in close range and threw him around. "Wah. Ooom. SET!" Once again the fire emerged but hit the tornadoes causing them to blaze in rapid flames. "HAHAHAHAHA! Is the great deity already losing to a fire tornado? You've grown weak with the years!"
"This is..." Kari's eyes grew wide as she watched from behind a tree. "These are the two great deities created by the four giants, why are they fighting!?"
"... THERE! Come out from there!" Majora roared and Kari flinched. Oh no! He saw me! How!? Did he hear me!? Maybe I can get awa- "COME OUT OR I'LL COME FOR YOU!!" With this, Kari slowly slipped forward into the fray and the fierce deity gazed at her from the ground he laid on. "A Terminan? In this world? What in the world in going on? A mortal... yet..."
"Leave her out of this Majora; she's just a mere being, a mortal. You and I know very well that only we're meant to fight." He gradually rose from the ground. "Why waste your magic on something so pathetic?" One side of his lips curved up in a smirk. Majora was about to nod, when Kari burst:
"P... Pathetic!?" Kari grinded her teeth. "Who's so pathetic where they take sacrifices from towns and is too lazy to even do his own laundry!? Who's the pathetic pervert here!? Who's the one whom uses his sacrifices as maids!? On my last check, I believe it was YOU!" The fierce deity glared for a moment, and it was then that she realized what he said had been a plan to keep Majora off of her. Oh great... Me and my big mouth. Me and my stupid pride. Could've just stayed quiet but NOOOO I had to correct him. Geez. Kari sighed.
"She's quite feisty isn't she? Sacrifice huh? She must be the new one hm? Lazy too aren't you? She even called you a pervert Oni." Majora sneered.
"And I'm proud of it," F.D. spat to his side agitated. "Nonetheless, are we gonna bash each other or are we going to talk this out like civilized fools?"
"Mmm, I suppose you're right." Majora nodded, "but let's raise the stakes, shall we? Whoever wins keeps the girl."
"WHAT!? I'm no priz-"she was intercepted by the F.D's:
"Fine, I only got her yesterday, but also, whoever wins gets control of all the southeast spaces. Deal Majora?"
"I like those stakes, deal," Majora chortled and began another spell. Meanwhile, the F.D. swung his long blade in a circle before positioning himself in a better fighting position. I can't believe this... Wait... Maybe now I can slip aw- "And don't try to run dear girl, otherwise I might just have to... discard those fair little legs of yours. Now, are you ready?"
"I'm always ready to win, thanks." With the last word, the two seemed to disappear and reappear in several different spots, but truthfully, they were so fast Kari's eyes could not follow. Either that, or they were going in and out and between the pace spaces. Weird enough, I think I'd rather want to stay with the fierce deity than Majora... Oh man, I just want to go home! Fishing with Hanz or working in the flower fields sound was better than this!! I can't even tell who's winning in this mess! Come on F.D! A tree right next to Kari suddenly burst into flames and she could see the two there for a split second.
"YOU IDIOTS! You're going to burn the whole forest down at this rate!" Kari screamed as two more trees caught flames and she rushed into the plains to avoid being scorched. Just then, a fireball rocketed her way, and the air around her raced to one hundred degrees in a second. Her mouth dropped open and her legs wouldn't work for her. Suddenly, as she closed her eyes, she was grabbed and thrown a few feet away, dodging the flames by ten milliseconds.
"Are you ok?" When Kari opened her eyes, she was in the F.D's lap; he had seized her from the magical blue flames. "No burns?"
"N...No... I'm fine, t... thank you..." Kari bit her lip and felt her face burn up.
"Alright... Good. Try to find some cover and stay low, that rock over there should work fine, hurry, I'll cover your back." He stood up, helping her up as well. "Go!" Kari dashed behind the rock and peered over the top silently. He... saved me? W-Why am I blushing, there's nothing to blush about with that corny pervert..! But... Come on Kari! Snap out of it! He just wants to keep his maid probably! Yeah... That's... why...
Ght! Not bad Oni..!" The two became visible as they panted heavily. "Let's say this is a draw and everything stays as is...!"
"Alright...! But I would've won...!" F.D stubbornly grinned. "Till next time Majora, you get ten of the spaces, and I get my ten spaces. And I keep her."
"Very well, till next time Oni Next time I won't give in so easily..." Dark smoke engulfed Majora and when it cleared with a soft breeze, he was gone as quickly as he had appeared.
"Yeah... See... ya..." F.D. crashed forward on the ground and closed his eyes. "e's my exercise... His voice dropped below a whisper and he didn't make a sound.
"H-Hey! Hey! Are you alright...?" Kari kneeled down next to him. "Deity?"
"..."
"Deity?"
"..."
"Hey! Hey! Get up!" Kari flipped him on his back. "He doesn't seem like he's breathing... Pulse... yes... Deity? Hey? Hello?" Oh no... I'm not using CPR on this creep! But... He saved me... But...! Just this once!! Kari gulped as she tilted his head up and rested it on her leg just above the knee. Plugging his nose, and regretting the action once more, Kari began blowing air into him. Come on... Get up! W-Wait, what the!? Hands wrapped around her body and pulled her close. "H-Hey!! You pervert! Let go!"
"I like holding you like this though... You're lips are sweet too, just like cherries, why'd you stop?" His cocky smile made her want to punch his lights out but when he rolled over and pushed her to the ground, his hair brushing against her face; she turned redder than a crimson pepper and froze up. "Why can't we just stay like this...?" He rested his body against hers and kissed her neck.
"Y...You..."
"Yes, my dear caring darling?"
"YOU JERK!" She kneed him in the family jewels before escaping his grip and observing him roll on the ground in pain like a hippo wallowing in a mud bath. "I was worried and thought you were dying! I even used CPR to help because you saved me earlier but NOOOO you had to go all perverted! I bet you faked it didn't you!? You're nothing more than a slimy worm!! I hope you do die! I hope you die slow and painfully! Y-You! Y-You...!" She felt violated, that was for sure. Small tears hung from her eyelashes closest to her ears and she bit her lip when she was finished. There she lingered with a puffy red face with teary eyes and her arms were folded around herself.
"... Owie..."
"ALL YOU CAN SAY IS 'OWIE' YOU JERK!?" Kari felt like kicking him again. "You only care about yourself!" What she felt like doing, she did.
"Ow! Hey! No more!"
"Bstard! Croak like a frog!"
"Ah! Ouch! Ack! STOP!"
"How can you go from seeming so cool to being such a pervert!?"
"OW!" He howled in pain. "Alright! Alright! I'm sor..." His voice faded.
"I don't hear you!"
"I'm sorry! I apologize! I beg for mercy!"
"... Fine." Kari sat on the ground with a headache. "But you deserved it, so don't think Mr. High and almighty didn't."
"You're quite a fighter, aren't you?" He sat up bit by bit, wincing in pain still. "Glad you're ok though, it wouldn't be nice to find my dear maid torn to shreds or burnt to a crisp... Heh," smiled the Fierce Deity with a clean non-sneering grin. With one fist, he gently nudged her lower cheek near her chin. "You're a very prideful girl, too."
"If you're trying to seduce me, it's not working," Kari folded her arms as she stared off in the distance, hurt.
"Come now it was a true compliment, anyway, let's get back to camp... I need to nurse some of these wounds..." he rose to his feet, stumbled a bit like a new fawn, and finally began limping away. "Coming?"
"Do I have a choice?" Kari sighed and followed swiftly behind the wobbly god. "You two were fighting so fast," Kai started, "I couldn't even see what was going on. He beat you up pretty well, didn't he?"
"I gave him some wounds to worry about just as well," His face puffed up in disagreement. "I hate to say it though, but our powers are pretty matched. You see, we gain strength from the surroundings and the condition of the worlds we travel in. Seeing how everything is fine and dandy in most worlds, we're powerful. If worlds were dying down, we'd be pretty weak. The four giants designed it to be this way."
"So the four giants really do exist... I guess I shouldn't doubt them anymore. Why don't they come to our aid then?"
"They're... in a deep slumber. In fact, they probably won't wake up for millenniums. Also they can't meddle with mortal affairs. That's why they made Majora and me to watch over the worlds but... Haha! They're probably not going to be happy when they wake up!"
"Oh yes, abducting girls, fighting constantly, they're going to make your life a murderer's purgatory!" Kari laughed slightly. "Hey, are you ok? You can lean on me, if you want. Just as long as..."
"Alright, I promise," he nodded and paused as she wrapped one of his arms around her shoulder. "Thank-you. Might you be warming up to me?"
"Well, no..." Kari said with a frown before grinning, "Only a little! You saved me, I owe you something. This being all I can think of for now... Why do you fight Majora?"
"..." He frowned with a sigh. "That's another story for another time, hey; lay me down by the fire pit will ya? Thanks." The F.D. laid flat on the ground and let out a deep long puff of air. As Kari started the fire, he sat up and took his shirt off as he nursed the new injuries. "Slllhhh... Ow!.. Er… Eh!" He grunt from time to time as he applied a special herb ointment.
"You're really an idiot you know that?" Kari's words made him stare at her in confusion. "You're applying it wrong." Pointing, Kari began to explain. "By letting the ointment drip upwards, the debris in the wound in just being shoved deeper. You have to apply the ointment where it drips down and the dirt flows out with it. Got it?"
"So, lower like this..?"
"Agh... You're hopeless, hold on," making sure the fire was flowing; she strode over and held onto his arm. "This'll sting, as you know." As soon as the ointment touched the pink open flesh, the fierce deity flinched and let one foot kick the dirt. "Now..." Kari ripped the lower tip of her dress and dabbed the wound, "... wrap the wound and you're done." Ending with a tight knot, she released his arm and he exercised it for a moment. "Good?"
"Better than, thank-you," he smiled and put his shirt back on before tossing a stick in the fire. "You're making me feel guilty."
"Why?"
"I took such a kind beautiful girl from her home and friends. Everyone in town must have loved you. I bet this Hanz boy must have had a crush on you as well."
"Hanz? No way! There are some boys in life that are more brotherly than romantically. He's brotherly."
"What am I in those two categories?" While the F.D seemed to be asking for the truth, Kari stared straight into his eyes and, using those big shiny emerald eyes, she lowered his guard, leaned just an inch before his face, and made him expect a pleasant kiss:
"A no-good-lazybones-kidnapping-perverted-terrorist."
