The Emperor Lord groaned in despair at his burnt food, he was even getting burnt rice.
He grunted but still ate his food, reminding himself that he's been on the battle field, and if he could handle that he could handle a little burnt food. Please there was something he needed to ask of his famous cook.
"Please bring Chihiro to me and...tell her...Nephew Ren Ling would wish to speak to her." He ordered one of the Spirit Servants.
Beast started coughing and pounding his chest, "Uncle...what-"
"Dear Nephew, you wish to speak to her...don't you want to thank her? She has taken very good care of you, even better than me...I am quite jealous, dear boy." He smiled at his nephew's shy blushing.
Beast started blushing but he nodded and obeyed. The Emperor Lord planned this perfectly, Chihiro was the only one in his household that didn't obey him exactly but he could appease her wrath with one of thing...
Belle suddenly came rushing through the room, the sliding door with a total wide smile on her face. Beast waved at her shyly and she saw that as an invitation to sit right beside him. Mina and Jack rushed in and sat between them.
"Hello...Chi-chan." Beast struggled to say, he tried very hard not to get over excited or else his nose would start bleeding and he would pass out.
"Hiya Pumpkin, you had something you wanna tell me." She smiled widely
Beast struggled to talk but he just squeaked and looked down, Belle found it too cute.
"He wishes to thank you for the good food." The Emperor lord said with a smile. Beast's face was bright red and streamy.
"Awwwwwwww...and you can't say it...but you ate everything...what a stomach!" Belle squeaked in pure delight.
"Chihiro...I have something very important to ask...about your cousin. Your Father had pink eyes, if I remember correctly?"
Belle tilted her head, but she shrugged her shoulders, "Yeah...Mommy always hope I would inherit his pink eyes but nope, no tea kettle."
"Yes...yes...He spoke of his sister, your Aunt, often?"
"Well yeah...why?" Belle narrowed her eyes in mocked suspicion.
"Well it's simple, I wastrying to find out what sort of Elfin Folk, my Little Wife is, you see...problem is...I can't seem to recall any pink eyed beings in my travels..."
"Oh...well Daddy said, knowing your heritage is important but Daddy didn't know it too well...all he knew was that Kyotoro was in their bloodline...oh...and...something about the eyes...But secretly, I think Mommy had a better idea."
"What idea?"
"You never told me...Mommy keeps things to herselfie, you know that...but Daddy always said that in the Spring, when the Cherry Blossom's bloom was when he felt...renewed...something like that."
"Your Mother? My Dear Sweet Loving Chihiro-Hime, is there anyway you might be able to write to your mother and tell her about her niece, I have something very important to ask..."
The Emperor Lord was walking past his throne room where he saw Kuro float sitting in front of the painting of her father. She touched the wall and sighed.
"Oh Kuro, how are you Child?" He asked with a smile, "I hope I got his likeness right." He winced as He noticed that Tar was staring right at him.
"You did...but I still miss my Daddy. Bloss-chan said he misses me too."
"My little Hime, you took rather well to my Little Wife, a lot better than you have my other wives...why is that?"
"Because I thought she would remember me...Bloss-chan looked like a friend but she's not her...but she's fun like she was...and nice..."
"Wait...like who."
Kuro yawned, she had been up all night, looking up at the mountain...
"I had a friend, she lived a long time ago...in my world...she was there and then she wasn't and Daddy was upset. I don't know why...her name was Sakura...I remembered because of her eyes...they were pink." Kuro started to fall asleep.
Back to Blossom
Blossom's eyes glowed bright pink as she looked back at the crying woman and her eyes widened...she turned her head back...looking around the forest, hoping for help or...where to run... she looked up...and her eyes widened even larger.
How could she not see that before...above her head, was a body...a body of a woman...she swallowed hard as she slowly pulled out her tanto. The baby continued to cry loudly. She gulped, taking a deep breath as she felt a foul breath and a low growl was on her neck.
1...2...3...
Blossom turned around quickly, slashing high...the woman screamed in horror. She grabbed the crying baby and ran. The baby was human...but the woman wasn't...She saw it...and she saw the lady hanging in the tree above her.
How...
"YOU BITCH! YOU BITCH!" The woman howled in pain with a deep voice.
Goldie was no where to be seen...she lost him...but hopefully he would be safe.
Blossom's POV
I gasped as I tripped...I crawled to the tree...
I don't know how...I don't know how I saw through it...it looked like it was faded...that woman's body was a lot bigger than up I saw now...and I saw a woman in the trees...in a silk cocoon...but I couldn't see through this baby. I was relieved that I guessed. I held it close to my chest and hid behind a tree as I heard the loud crunching.
"You bitch...I'll turn your bones into liquid for my children." The woman hisses at it's bleeding eye. I looked around the corner, the woman dissolved...into a big brown hairy spider. It was just walking past me...I was right...I saw through it...I don't have time to wonder how. I looked over the other side, I saw smoke...there might be a village there...
I looked around...it's gone...I don't know if that's a good thing or not...I just need to stay calm. The baby looked up at me.
"It's ok...it's ok." I whispered, trying to keep myself calm, but I was shaking on the inside and I could barely keep myself calm as I sniffed...that foul breath...
I ducked...and heard a chomp...the giant spider of over me. I ran...all I can is run...
I could hear the mighty stomps behind me...my body was acting on its own now...my eyes looking for any place. I pushed my body against several trees. I slipped through some thicker trees and heard this crash and. I fell on some wet leaves and hitting the ground on my back.
The Baby cried wildly and I held it tightly. I looked back...A few trees were holding it back but it was thrashing about and hissing at me. I lost my shoes a long time ago and my feet were wet and cold...I was about to get up but I couldn't move...I was...I'm being pulled back. My lips felt dry but I swallowed my fears and looked back.
The medium large spider had one leg through and it stabbed my haori and was dragging me back by it. I suddenly felt this tight sting on my back...
It bit me...it bit me...my eyes swirled but I focused...I focused extremely hard...and...
My body reacted, removing my coat and slashing the leg, cutting it off completely. It howled in complete anguish and I ran again just as the trees were crackling. My back burned like sizzled like a boiling stew pot but I wouldn't let that stop me.
I was starting to feel the strain and my body was getting tired. I've never ran this long, but this baby's screams kept me going. I must get him out of here...I can't...
I could hear the stomping and feel the thundering steps behind me...The trees almost seem to guide me, my body and my mind faded and all I have was this drive...this drive to protect this baby, my shirt ripped from the branches as I crawled and struggled through a cluster of trees, and sighed in relief at the sight of a village.
"HELP! HELP ME!" I rushed across a bridge as the spider just jumped and thumped just inches in front of me.
"The water!" My mind screamed.
"HEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!" I screamed and jumped down the bridge and into the water. It was lunging for me...but it wouldn't go into the water...just like I thought...it can't go into the water, but it was trying to reach me. It scratched me on the arms and my back as I shielded the baby.
"You might as well let me eat you...my fangs and claws have enough poison to paralyze a Wani...human child...Soon...you and the baby will drown and the Mōryō will feed on your flesh...I shall make it quick...the baby is too small for even a morsel...I shall give it back to the humans." Its deep voice said to me, it drooled through its fangs, its blaring red eyes looking down at me, except for the one I slashed.
"Liar." I managed to whisper that word but My body was starting to feel numb, I could barely hold my tanto up at it. All I could do was hold the baby above the cold water.
"Focus! Focus!" I shouted to myself. I slashed at it again when it tried to reach for me. My arm felt heavy like iron or stone, but I won't give up. The dizzy feeling was gone...and I held my tanto at it. My arms burned but I slashed at it even after it stabbed me.
When all of a sudden...a blue fireball hit it in the face and a tail wrapped around it. It grunted and struggled but was pulled away.
"Thank goodness," My body suddenly felt lighter.
Normal POV
Blossom was floated out of the water by a strong pull.
"Lady Empress!" Bubbles cried out, she was glowing a flaming blue, the villagers were crying out in horror as Nure Onna and Tsuchigumo were fighting, but they almost couldn't help but watched as these two powerhouses fought. Some of the villagers were getting iron weapons. Some of the men brought a wise woman to Blossom, struggling just to pull the baby from her.
"It's ok..."The wise woman ensured her and she let the baby go to a man who recognized the child's mole on his cheek.
"Toshio...Where's his mother? Where's Asuka!" The man cried out.
Blossom shook her head and pointed at the spider.
The man's eyes widened, they were darting side to side in a nervous anguish, "No..."
Brianna's tail wrapped around the spider...it hissed and thrashed wildly but it bit her tail, causing her to let go. Brianna let out a large roar, her hair turned black and grew longer as her body stretched.
"You traitor! TRAITOROUS WHORE!" The spider roared, it jumped on top of a building when she tried to slam it with her tail, "YOU SAVE THESE WORTHLESS BEINGS! THEY'RE ONLY WORTH AS FOOD!" It jumped at her, Brianna struggled but grabbing its neck.
"You can stop wasting your breath...you'll need it in a minute." Brianna's jaws opened and with its thrashing struggle she bit it on the back and threw it down as she was bitten on the arm. She swatted at the spider with her tail but it held its own, stabbing her tail.
"Well NURE-ONNA, WHO'S POISON SHALL ENDURE!" It cackled as Brianna only bit it once but it bit her numerous times and she was starting to struggle as her eyes were getting dizzy. It shot its web at her...
Bubbles gasped as Blossom's wounds were healing, her body was practically pushing the poison out.
Blossom drank from the canister, and struggled to stand up, "We have to help Brianna! We have to stop this before it destroys this village." She ran towards the battle.
"My lady Empress, BLOSS-CHAN!" Bubbles ran after her.
"YOU SMELL OF A MAN!" It screamed at her.
Brianna was bleeding black blood, as she punched it into a stall. She was breathing heavily but the spider cast its illusion...more spiders surrounded her...she was stabbed through the neck. Brianna gurgled as black spurted out of her neck and mouth. She struggled to push it back until her body went limp.
"DIE YOU TRAITOROUS WHORE!" It stabbed her in the chest two times and bit down on her neck, decapitating her. Her head rolled on the ground.
"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!" Blossom cried out, running to Brianna's side, grabbing her tanto and slashing its leg, cutting that one off.
"YOU BITCH! FEASTING ON YOU WILL BE A JOY!" It screamed, swatting her back.
"YOU MONSTER! I WON'T LET YOU LIVE!" Blossom screamed in pure rage, her hair turned into a bright fiery red, and her eyes glowed bright pink. She slashed at its fangs, cutting one off and stabbing it in its eye. Her ribbon came off during the struggle and it shielded her from some of the attacks. The spider hisses wildly and the villagers watched in awe at this girl fighting this spider. Blossom stepped to the side, dodging its attacks and sliding underneath it, stabbing it on the side of its belly.
The Spider hissed wildly but it smacked her back...Blossom was sent flying into a wall. It was scurried to her...When an iron arrow was shot... by a badger fauna man with tears in his eyes. Robin came shooting his iron arrows right in the other creatures' eye.
"FOR MY WIFE! FOR THE LADY EMPRESS!" The man cried out, the villagers cried out as well. They held their spears and swords up. It hissed and swatted the villagers back, jumping back.
"Lady Empress! Oh no you don't. I DON'T CARE IF I BREAK THE RULES! YOU WON'T HURT MY FRIENDS!" Bubbles cried out with tears as she was beside Brianna. She stood up about to remove her bonnets and she was glowing a fiery blue but she stopped as a hand grabbed her foot. Bubbles gasped, she grabbed Brianna's head and placed it on her neck. She sighed in relief as her head attached back to its body.
"No...*Wheeze* don't...you'll be sent back...*wheeze* heavens...you'll punished..." Brianna was coughing up blood but her wound was healing, slowly. She fell on Bubbles, who held her tightly.
"That was too close...even for you."
"It's over for you Spider! YOU'RE OUTNUMBERED! HURTING OUR LADY EMPRESS! YOU WENT TOO FAR!" Robin held another iron arrow...
"YOU FOOLS! YOU LOWLIFE FODDER DARE TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO! THIS VILLAGE WILL BE MY NEW NEST FOR MY CHILDREN AFTER SUCH INSOLENCE!"
Blossom struggled to get up, she looked around...as the villagers were getting hurt and killed as the spider refused to give up, shooting its web, stabbing one man in the throat...
"Brianna...you killed my friend." Her wounds were healed but her body was still in pain. She crawled, grabbing her tanto and trying to stand up but her body just crumpled, "Brianna...I'm sorry. You'll be avenged."
When a familiar snout blow on her face...
"Goldie...you feel like ending this, boy." Blossom struggled as the horse looked at her...but he kneeled down for her to get up on her. She couldn't find her tanto...
Robin was pinned down and the man was sent flying, still crying...
"Where is my wife?" The man came back up and held his sword, but was sent flying back again, "Tell me-" He was slashed in the leg and went down instantly as the poison took effect. He mumbled softly with tears streaming down his cheek.
"Your wife was a delicious meal." The spider taunted and the man cried out in pure agony at the answer.
Robin pulled his small dagger and slashed the spider back. He grabbed the man and pulled him out of the spider's path.
Thats...when the miracle happened...the spider was wrapping a crying child in its web...when a shadow stood over it...just floating on one of the huts...a powerful whinny echoed through the village. The spider looked up in horror as a pair of powerful hooves came down on its head...
The villagers, even Bubbles and Brianna looked in awe as the mystical creature...a very rare and powerful being stomped on the spider with its holy flames. Blossom was holding it by its mane...it whinny as the spider was still alive, it blew holy fire out of its mouth.
The spider tossed and thrashed on the ground and flipped on its back, struggling to get back up...struggling to live...even through half its body was a burnt half. Blossom held her tanto and jumped on the spider's belly.
Its moaned and cries as it struggled just to breathe.
"I shall make it quick." She glared down at it and stabbed it over and over, driving her tanto deeper and deeper, until she hit it in the heart. The Spider finally died...it's legs rolled to its body and it curled into a ball.
Blossom had splattered of green blood on her face. Goldie whinny on its hind legs, blowing his flames. Blossom patted him on the nose and hugged his snout. The villagers' eyes widened and they bowed...everyone bowed.
"No...no..please get up. Get up." Blossom looked around, she gasped as she saw Brianna bowing her head.
She rushed through the crowd and hugged her full force, crying.
"What is wrong with you? Why do you cry Lady Empress?" Brianna asked, confused, "Do you moan for the spider?"
"I'm so happy...I thought you were dead..your head was chopped off. How did you survive?"
"You must kill a Nure-Onna is a specific way and a specific sword...a steel sword."
"I don't care...you can't ever do that."
"Who is lecturing who? You shouldn't have ran off my-" Brianna and Bubbles both gasped and bowed to the ground. Blossom turned around and Goldie was floating behind her.
"You guys...this is Goldie...I met him when I was little. I don't know what happened but it was like he called to me in the mountains...but I am sorry you guys."
"Lady Empress, bow." Bubbles said, "That is the Kirin...the God of Beasts"
"Oh...no way...not Goldie..." Blossom looked around as everyone was still bowing, "But...eh...Goldie."
"ALL HAIL THE KIRIN! ALL HAIL THE LADY EMPRESS!" Robin cheered and Everyone followed.
