Demon Slayer: Yin and Yang

Chapter 11: An Urgent Message

I'm back, and now we can get back to the story. I only own my characters, while Okami belongs to Black Raider, since she is her.


(My POV)

"Ready?" I asked, forming a sword stance.

Okami smiled and got into a stance with her Nichibotsu in hand. "Bring it on, I'm so gonna beat you."

"Say the word, Shifu."

"Ready, begin!" Shifu exclaimed.

The battle was on, Okami was the first to thrust he spear at me, but I jumped straight out of the way. When I landed behind her, I used Kageichi and tried to strike her back, but she was able to clash with Nichibotsu, causing our weapons powers to clash with each other as well. I knew it was only three days, but she was doing pretty good. Okami had showed skill and grace, when I went for her legs, she dodged by lifting herself up with her spear, then she used her spear to slam me down, but I used my sword to block it. "Not bad, you've improved."

"Of course I did, I said I was gonna win this time!" Okami retorted

"Yeah, best 5 out of 10." I teased

"Shut up!"

Grabbing her fan from he waist, Okami waved Sanraizu and launched a whirlwind that almost flew me away. "That's not gonna work, let's go Inugami: Full Moon!"

Before she could launch another whirlwind, I used both Kageichi and the Kuzuryu blade to form a shockwave shaped like the full moon, the techniques both clashed with each other and practically blew in our faces. When they did, I rushed straight at her and placed both katanas at her neck like a pair of scissors, she fell on her behind from being surprised at how fast I was. "Winner, Junior."

"She's improving, but still needs work." Huayin said, who was training with Po.

"What did you expect, it's only been three days since she's been training." Po explained.

While I sheathed my swords, I held out Kuzuryu for her to grab. "Need a hand?"

"I could've won, but thanks." Okami said, smiling.

"Best 6 out of 12 then?" I asked

"You're on...!?"

I have no idea what happened, but when Okami grabbed for Kuzuryu's handle, a large surge of energy blasted from it and blew us away. When I woke up I found that the room was a little bigger and I had paws, I guess that blast turned me into my wolf form. "Okami, are you al-what!?"

"Ugh, my aching head... what?" She asked

Everyone looked at Okami was as surprised as I was, she was a wolf just like me, but she had brown fur; I think it was because of her brown hair, like with me and Huayin. When she looked at her hand that were turned into paws, she practically freaked out. "What happened to me, what's going on!?"

"Huh, I wonder if it was because of Kuzuryu's curse?" I said aloud

"Kuzuryu's curse?" She asked

"I explained it in the first demon slayers fic, remember," I said, Inugami appeared beside me in his adult dog form. "Inugami put a curse on the Kuzuryu blade centuries ago, which give the people who use it dog traits like a tail and ears, and apparently turns you into canines, like a wolf."

"Kind of weird, I didn't know that other people can get the curse." Huayin included.

"What do you mean you didn't know!?" Okami exclaimed

"Inugami never said it could happen to anyone who held the sword." I answered

"I didn't think the curse was that powerful," Inugami admitted. "But I didn't think people would be that stupid to grab it like that."

"Why you little!"

Without even hesitating, Okami actually pounced on Inugami and they started fighting like rabid animals... excuse the pun. "It's funny."

"What's that Kohai?" Momohime asked

"She called herself Okami, which means a wolf, and now she is one," I chuckled. "It's actually more of ironic, but still funny."

I actually made Momo giggle, it was cute. "You're right, it is funny."

"You think it's funny!?"

Okami lunged right at me, she was right above me with snarling teeth. "Look on the bright side, Okami also means great diety, so maybe this is a sign of you being a great wolf diety."

"I wouldn't joke about this, I could bite your head off right now." She snarled

"I'm serious."

"Yeah right!"

(Momo's POV)

Kohai was fighting with Okami, it was funny, but also cute in a way. I remember when I saw him in his puppy form, it was so adorable, but I think he'd be embarassed if I said that out loud. "Master Shifu!"

When I turned around, Shifu's messenger goose, Zeng came in with another goose. "What is it, Zeng?"

That's when the goose beside him stepped forward and bowed to Shifu. "Master Shifu, I have an urgent message from Emperor Huang di, it also involves the demon slayers."

That's when he turned to me. "Are you the leader?"

I was about to point to Kohai, but he was still busy with Okami. "I'm second in command, but you can tell me."

"Alright, the emperor wanted to tell you about a threat in pagoda island, it looked like something demonic, so he called for your help." The goose explained.

"What exactly is happening?" Tigress asked.

"Well Master Tigress, there's only a few monsters, but most of the island damage is from a bunch of tentacles."

"Tentacles, does that mean what I think that means?" Kohai asked

"Payback." Tigress answered.

"Huang di has asked for your help, he even said he would pay for your assistance."

"We'll do it, but he won't have to pay us." Kohai answered

"Yes, when we take care of the situation, we'll send a message that the mission is complete." Shifu explained

"Yes Master." The goose said, then he flew away.

Kohai told me how Tigress was held by demonic tentacles, I was still knocked out when Pain and Panic took me, but I felt angry about it, I wanted to fight it too. "Don't worry Momo, when the time comes, you'll get to fight it too."

"Thanks Kohai." He was always there for me, even when I didn't know it.

"So when do we go?" Tigress asked, I could tell from the ferosity in her eyes that she was ready.

That's when Kohai went back into his human form. "We'll head out tomorrow, can't help anyone with a tired out body."

"You're right, we need to keep our strength up." Huayin agreed.

It's strange, I wonder why Kohai and Huayin are the same, their yin and yang so their supposed to be different, but for some reason they agree on so many things. They almost seem more like twins. "We better get ready."

"Hey, how am I supposed to change back!?" Okami exclaimed.

"Can't say, I never really thought about it." Kohai snickered.
