Chapter 3: Amaterasu

Issun's POV

"Ummm…." Started Issun, "Who are you exactly? No one else that I know of, as far as I know, knows that by going through the gate, you can see Sakuya's spirit."

"Issun, I thought you knew me better than this…" stated the silver (?) haired stranger. "Even after what we've been through? You're cruel Issun. Look at me properly, and tell me you don't remember. "

Issun looked. And he was awed by her godlike beauty. She was about 5 feet 6, her body perfectly proportioned. Her silver hair came to her ankles, and shone with the colors of the sun. Her snow white outer kimono was made of the highest quality, and a cloth wrapped around her was a flaming red color. Her inside kimono, dyed the colors of the sunset. Her entire entity emitted a warm aura. One thing Issun did take note of was her anthromorphic wolf ears atop her head, as well as the tail.

Issun (being Issun) was struck by her beauty. His glow took on a pinkish hue, and said "I'm sorry, I really don't know you. I'm pretty sure I would remember a face like yours…"

The young woman put her hands up in frustration. "Holy mother of- wait, whose my mother…Do I have one? Hmm…." She sat down, wondering. "Anyways," she said, facing a baffled Issun, and a surprised Sakuya, "Maybe this will help." The young woman took out an artfully crafted calligraphy brush. She drew a circle in the air, and Issun was surrounded by a field of flowers.

"Holy crap! Ammy?"

She gave an ojou sama laugh. "In the living flesh!"

"Wait, how are you in human form?"

"I would also like to know." said Sakuya. "My position on the mortal land does not allow me to get much information on the Celestial Plain. I heard from the visiting spirits that the Celestial Plains has been revived. I congratulate you on that, Holy Mother of us all Okami Amaterasu."

Ammy bowed. "Thank you." She smiled. Aura became even warmer.

Issun was stricken again. "But why this appearance…?" he asked, "N-n-not that I don't like it, it's just,"

"Oh this?" Ammy replied. She twirled around. "This is how I look like as a God(dess). My natural form."

"Natural?"

"Yup" she said with a fast nod. Looking like a little puppy. "And to answer your question, we will explain EVERYTHING," she gestured something large, "When everyone is gathered."

"We?"

"Yup."

"Chibi's down there too?"

"Waka as well!"

"WAKA? That freakin' half baked prophet? God, why is he here?"

"Issun, Waka is a very strong asset. He is able to fight, and he can tell prophecies."

"Yah, hence the 'half baked prophet'. Plus, his prophecies never made any sense until they happe-…WAIT Ohmygod Ammy, you haven't…?"

She tilted her head like a confused puppy. "What Issun?"

"Never mind," he said.

"Anyways, let's get going. We're on a very tight schedule, and about half of us are assembled."

The green poncle hopped onto Ammy's shoulder. "Well, let's get going then!"

Ammy nodded and smiled. "Sakuya, I'll send you the info when everyone is together."

"May the scent of fresh flowers follow you everywhere." Replied the spirit as Ammy and Issun ran out the gate, small flowers sprouting from where her feet landed.

Well,timeforsavingtheworld. Thought Issun, as the two went down to meet with their companions.
