I have done some adjustments here since some people got confused.
Ammy is back in this chapter people-cheers- just like i promised.
This chapter is definately longer than the others. AmmyxWaka stuff is back!
BTW i made Hozumi and Shaberi up coz i thought it would be interesting.
Ishaku isn't with Ammy yet since this is just after a couple of days after she fell to the earth.
I won't write a story on Tuesday again since I ramble a lot. On to the story.

In The Land of Mortals

"Run! I…It's… IT'S SHIRANUI!" The shop keeper yelled as he saw the white wolf. People ran like the world was soon coming to an end but the white wolf was used to this. Okami Amaterasu had been feared and hated around Nippon since her physical body burst into flames and her soul transformed into a white wolf with red markings.

People didn't have faith in the gods like they used to. If they did then the people wouldn't be scared of her and they would be able to see her for what she really is. Orochi had been causing lots of trouble and there wasn't a single thing she could do about it until a warrior was born. Not just any warrior but the Chosen One. One with heroic blood pumping inside of him. One who would sacrifice himself for his lover like she did.

She could still remember him. She kissed him goodbye before she pushed Orochi down to this world. She could just see his golden hair under his wig. If only he were here to comfort her. To tell her how much he loved her. If only her true love was here. Little did she know, Waka will see her again pretty soon.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Waka woke up he was in slight pain but definitely better than the battle on the Celestial Plain. He saw that he was in a hut, probably the man with the wolf mask's hut. He then remembered the man and got to his feet. His flute was on the floor by where he was lying and the sword that was around his waist was digging into his knee but he didn't complain. Waka deserved a little punishment for the huge crime his tribe-his own blood had done.

Waka peered out and saw a land of snow but it wasn't snowing heavily. Suddenly, the wolf masked man popped up in front of Waka and he fell backwards and drew his sword.

"Don't worry young warrior," the wolf masked man said. "I will not harm you but I do have some questions for you. My name is Hozumi and I am the village elder." Young warrior? If only he knew how old Waka really was.

"Where…am I?" Those were the only words Waka managed to say.

"You collapsed when you arrived and that was at the same time that ship crashed into the lake. Who are you and what are you doing here?" Waka couldn't tell them too much or they would punish him for being a member of the Moon Tribe, who tried to kill the Celestials and succeeded.

"I came from the heavens where gods lived but… my god! They're dead! Yet I Waka, the god's gift to man, have been able to escape from the Ark of Yamato." Waka felt his guilt trying to take over but he knew he could help right this wrong he caused.

"The Ark of Yamato? That's the name of the ship?" Waka nodded "What happened on the ship?" Waka remembered the screams. The blood. Death in every corner and the guilt was too much to bare. He wanted to kill himself for the crime he committed even if he didn't know about it. He just wanted a way to right this big mistake even if it costs him his happiness. What happiness? He thought. Ma chérie is dead. Killed by a demon and the gods will never forgive me for my mistake. He put his hand in front of his face to hide his tears from Hozumi but there was no need.

"Waka," He said softly. "there is no need to fear us. We just want answers to our questions." Waka slowly nodded moving his hands down. "We just want to know what happened on the ark and if we are in anymore danger."Wait. Waka thought. The damage has already been done? Or is that…that monster Orochi still alive? If only Ma chérie was still alive. She really would help me out just knowing that she is alive.

"I…can't talk about it…yet because…the look in their eyes…unforgettable" Waka shuddered at the memory of the deaths. Waka's chest suddenly hurt bad and he cried out in pain.

"Waka? Are you alright?" Waka tried to answer but his voice was stuck inside his throat. Waka fell on his back grasping his chest in pain then his body went limp. "WAKA! Quick he needs help!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A white wolf in a tortured village sheltered by a guardian tree. She misses you, wants you to come and help her fight the evil serpent. That voice. Every time he falls unconscious he hears that voice. Telling him stuff that is yet to come. He didn't hear it before when he fell unconscious; probably the poison had drowned out the voice. A white wolf? Not very common to see a proud creature like that.

Waka woke up. He was still in the hut and the sickness seemed to have past. He still felt out of place. His guilt for the deaths was affecting his confidence he used to have. He wanted Amaterasu to comfort him. Wake him up and tell him this was just a nightmare but he knew that would never happen.

"Waka! You're awake!" Hozumi shouted that gave Waka a head ache. "You've been unconscious for a whole day and we're in trouble at the lake!" A whole day! Waka thought. Trouble at the lake? Ah contraire no! The demons! They're after me! I have to escape and find Kamiki village!

Waka picked up his flute and ran out into the blizzard.

"Where are you going?" Waka turned to see Hozumi running after him.

"Far away. To Kamiki village and keep away from the demons. Its me they're after! I must run until I can stop them." Waka called back and started running again.

"Beware of the white wolf Shiranui Waka!" That was the last he will hear of Hozumi.

We want the Moon warrior. Find him and bring him to me. Or I will plunge this world into darkness. A voice that sounded as dark as evil itself. It was talking about Waka! He didn't stop. He needed to find a cave and teleport to Kamiki village but he will have to be quick if he wants to survive. He found a cave and he disappeared into a cloud of glitter. Heading to a reunion.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was quiet without her lover around. Waka and his flute he always kept close by. Amaterasu wished that Waka could just play his flute and take his wig off and run after her in a big chase. But he was up there with the Celestials and she was down here being feared by the mortals. Stuck inside a wolf's body. How she wished she could just walk up to Waka and tell him how much she loved him but her voice had been stolen also. Wolves can't talk but she could understand people but she felt guilty unable to reply.

Damn you! She howled at the heavens. Why couldn't it just be me and Waka for at least one day? Now I'm never going to see him again in my human like form. All because of that stupid snake demon! When the time comes you will be sorry, Orochi! She loathed that name and she spat whenever she used it. She couldn't talk but if there were any wolves nearby then they might be able to understand her.

A sound. A flute. High up in the guardian tree Konohana, a figure was standing on a branch playing his flute.

"Hark…the call of the heavens, the earth, the sea." The figure said when he finished playing the flute. "They summon me forth to defeat evil." Amaterasu couldn't make it out who it was but the voice sounded strangely familiar. The figure jumps down and lands with his back towards her. He wore a weird combination of clothes, a flute in his right hand and a pinkish wig.

No…it…can't be! Amaterasu barked hopefully. Yes it's him! My lover is still alive!

"Waka, the gods gift to man is here, bonjour." The figure said.

Bonjour indeed my pink haired friend.Together again at last.Amaterasu thought.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The White wolf barked happily when she heard his name. Did she know him?

"My white canine friend, I have come to put an end to this curse I have caused and you-" Waka pointed his flute at the wolf. "- are one of the curses." The wolf barked clearly annoyed and seemed to be trying to tell him something but he didn't understand Wolf Talk. If only Shaberi was here. He was a member of the Moon Tribe and could understand any language and Wolf Talk was one of them.

Waka pulled out his sword, Pillow Talk, and the wolf pulled out a divine instrument that looked familiar to Waka. No she couldn't be… Waka thought. Ma chérie is dead. I saw her turn into a ball of white flames. The wolf barked trying to tell Waka something important but he couldn't understand.

"Enough talk, my little white friend, just go for it." Waka jumped towards the white wolf which dodged his swipe with ease. The wolf could've attacked him while his back was turned but she didn't. Instead she showed him her divine instrument, barking at him, trying to get him to understand. Waka made a sword appear in his hand and he threw it at the white wolf. Suddenly, the sword came flying back and knocked him off balance.

A bomb appeared next to Waka and exploded but he rolled out the way to avoid the blast. The white wolf reminded him of Amaterasu's attacks when they fought against Orochi together. He wasn't very helpful to her by throwing up on the floor and cursing in French every now and then. The white wolf then howled and a tree nearby bloomed.

The white wolf then stood there staring into Waka's eyes and finally he got the message. In her eyes, Waka saw a goddess who was lonely and wanted someone who would comfort her through her hour of need. The goddess who sacrificed her life for the person she cared for the most. His goddess who really needed him to help her.

A white wolf in a tortured village sheltered by a guardian tree. She misses you, wants you to come and help her fight the evil serpent. The prophecy Waka had heard when he fell unconscious was about this village and this wolf. This wolf was the goddess who saved his life and kissed him for the first time.

"Ma…ma chérie? Is that…you?" Waka asked unable to believe it. The white wolf barked happily and bowed to Waka. Waka felt a tear fall down his cheek and Amaterasu jumped on him and licked his face till he was covered in wolf slobber. Waka laughed and tried to pull Amaterasu off and eventually did.

After Amaterasu calmed down, Waka's expression turned into a serious look and Amaterasu could tell something big had happened while she was away and she was only gone for a few days!

"Ma chérie…" Waka started unable to think what Amaterasu's reaction will be if she was told the truth. "I have done something terrible…"

Dun,dun,duuuuuuunnnnnn!!!!!!!
