Brad walks around the village with the girl who called herself a "kitsune". While walking he looks around the buildings and the trees. This was nothing like the harsh environment of the Olathe, it was calm, peaceful, filled with life. Brad took admiration of the trees and grass, something he had not seen in a while.
"And over there is the shrines! This is where monsters are worshipped by humans!"
Brad simply nodded as he passed by. He could get used to this world, but he still couldn't wrap around the concept of "monsters." As he walked by he stopped at a tree when a noticed what seemed to be a figure hanging on it. It was a girl, with long hair that covered her face, and a white dress. She was hung by her neck by a noose. It was Lisa. He looked away quickly to only see a man with an unbuttoned t-shirt, exposing his chest. He had sunglasses and a thinning black hair. It was Brad's abusive father, Marty.
"A weak son." Say's Marty as he reveals himself holding a baby.
"And a cowardly brother." Say's Lisa as she hangs on her noose. Brad drops to the ground on his knees and holds his head down.
"C'mon Brad. You know you can't escape. Stop trying to forget Brad. I'll always be there." Say's Marty as he stokes the baby.
"Just like when you couldn't be there for me, brother."
A few tears drop from his face he hears these words.
"Brad! Are you alright?" He looks up as he hears the voice of the fox girl. He looks at the tree to see Lisa, as well as Marty, gone.
"Brad?"
"Yeah, I'm alright. Just… tired."
"Well keep up Brad! The Queen of kitsunes should not be kept waiting!"
"Right… Why are we visiting her again?" Says Brad with a low tone.
"She's the one who found you! Without her you'd be dead!" The gleeful kitsune jogs ahead while Brad manages to keep up. At last they arrive at the shrine with another lady with similar to the fox girl Brad had been traveling with, but she had gold fur, longer ears, and nine fox tails. She was seen eating a plate with a strange white substance. As they entered the fox girl bowed in down, she nudged Brad to do so too, but he simply stood there.
"Milady! I have brought the outsider here!" The fox woman stared at her before starring Brad down for a moment.
"Thank you. I would like to speak with him alone." The fox girl nodded before leaving the area.
Brad stands there with his hard expression, staring at the fox woman. Unlike the fox girl she seemed older, more mature. Yet she still she seemed to had that playfulness to her.
"Please, sit down." Brad sits down with his feet crossed, resting his hand on his knee.
"What brings you here Yamati Village?" Brad looks down for a moment.
"I don't know how or why I got here, but I do know is that I have to leave." The fox lady raised her brow.
"And why so?" Brad stayed silent for a few moments. He wasn't sure to tell them the truth or not. Even if these are women, it's hard to tell whether or not to trust them.
"I have to… find someone important to me. That's I can really say."
"Who is this person?"
"Like I said, I can't say much more. But they are the world to me. If I lost them…" Brad went silent again. He missed Buddy so much. She was the reason he went on this quest. But after what she said, could she even take him back? He had failed her, and could never had hated himself more for that.
"I can see that they mean a lot. In any case I won't stop you, but could you tell me your name?"
Brad once again went silent.
"Brad."
"Brad huh? Well I have your things here. You have strange things, like these weird berries."
She pulls out three little blue pills. Brad gasps as he snatches the "berries" from her.
"Don't touch those."
"Why? They're just berries."
"Well… Their poisonous."
"Oh… Well at least explain this weird bottle full of funny smelling stuff." She pulled out a bottle filled with gasoline and a towel sticking out of it.
"That's a firebomb."
"Firebomb? Looks pretty strange for one…"
"Look, I really need to go, Miss…"
"Tamamo"
"Yeah, listen. I gotta go. If I can have my stuff, and my poncho back now." Tamamo looked at him for a while.
"No."
"What? No?"
"No, you can't have it back."
"Why not?"
"Well I just don't really see a reason to trust you. You seem very shady." Brad tried to calm down his anger. He took a deep breath before looking at Tamamo and responding
"What will it take for you to trust me."
"Hmm… Well there is something you can do for me, but it's risky." Brad looked down.
"What is it?"
"You see, there is this spider girl that's been attacking the villager near the outskirts of town. I was going to do something about it, but seeing that you're now here, it's a great opportunity for you to prove you're trustworthy!" Brad raised an eyebrow. The request sounded a bit strange. A spider girl? What type of monster was that? It sounded a bit off to him.
"So, I just get her to leave and that's it?"
"Yep! After that I'll deem you trustworthy enough to reclaim your stuff back." Brad stares at the ground again. All he had to do was make her leave and he could continue his quest.
"Alright then. It's a deal."
"Great! I'll let one the villagers here lead you to her."
"Could I at least get my poncho back?"
"Oh you mean this blanket?" She pulls out a brown and gray poncho.
"I don't see why not." She hands Brad the poncho and watches while she puts it on. Soon after the kitsune from earlier leads him into the forest.
...
…
…
…
"So that's a monster?" asks Brad after hearing the kitsune explain the concept of monsters.
"Yep. They hunt and rape men to steal their semen!" Brad held his head with his hand. This whole new world wasn't as nice as Brad once thought. Monsters that could kill and rape him? Sounds almost as bad as the joy mutants that plagued the Olathe. They stop at a cave.
"She's in there." Say's the kitsune nervously.
"Alright, let's go in." Brad walks a few feet inside before noticing the kitsune hasn't moved an inch.
"Are you coming?" Asked Brad. The nervous kitsune shook her head. Brad sighed and continued to walk inside.
"B-be careful!" Shouts the kitsune as she waits outside. Brad continues to walk forth into the cave. He had his fair share of caves, none of the experiences good. He half expected a figure to emerge with a shadows with a baseball bat. Of course, none did. As he approached the end of the cave he came across a giant web, in it a cocoon with the shape of a person inside. Brad begins to unwrap the cocoon when a voice stops him.
"What is this? A human male willingly stumbles in my web? It must be my lucky day." Brad turns to face the voice. It was as if someone took a woman and replaced her torso with of a spider's. Brad nearly gagged at the sight of the monstrosity.
"Are you the spider girl that's been attacking the villagers?" The spider girl chuckled before responding.
"Indeed I am. In fact I happen to have one of them right here." She gestures towards the cocoon. Brad shivers a bit at that thought.
"Then I am going to ask you to leave." The monster girl laughed at that statement.
"Oh my, this is rare. A human asking me to leave. My, you look a bit damaged, but you'll make a nice meal for me." The monster girl began to approach Brad. At this point he realized negotiations were off the table. He took a fighting stance and charged the enemy.
-Play Lisa: Brawlin'-
As Brad approached the spider girl, he did Homerun Head Slide, causing her to fall over as she struggled to get up, Brad began to use Pea gun fist, punching her gut rapidly. The spider girl winced as she suffered multiple punches to the gut. She then gets up and uses Body Wrap on him, binding his feet. As he falls on the ground the spider girl crawls over to him.
"You are quite the struggle. Now let me get you nice and wr-"Her sentence in interrupted as Brad latches his jaw onto one her legs. Biting down harder, he begins to free his legs as the spider girl kicks him off.
"Aaggh! You'll be punished for that!" As he gets up he summons a fireball from behind and shoots it at her. Brad watches as she is blasted backwards off her feet. He then proceeds to tackle her with his arm. As he sits on her pinned down body he punches her face rapidly.
"Alright! Alright! I'll leave! Just please, stop!" Brad stops punching when suddenly her face changes to a familiar face with sunglasses.
"That's right boy. Stop while you still have a chance to run." Brad is then blinded by a fit of rage. He begins punch the spider's face again, and again.
"I said I'll stop! Please! No! I'm be-"Her words are interrupted as he summons another fireball, obliterating her face. Leaving only the charred remains of her skull.
-End Lisa: Brawlin'-
Brad walks out of the cave with his head low. The kitsune waiting for him outside runs up to him.
"Brad! Are you allright?" He nods his head. It's done. Let's go back now.
"What happened." He stares at his arm covered with monster blood.
"That doesn't matter now. Let's just leave now. Please." The kitsune nods her head and begins to carry Brad back to the village.
A/N: This took a bit longer to write, but I liked the result. I'm currently working on an extra at the moment involving the devil himself. It should be shorter to write and not as long as normal chapters. I hoped you liked this story and don't forget to review, as it makes me a better writer.
