Shueisha's POV
"Ha take that, ya green monkey!" A girl was standing in front of a television, Wiimote in hand. On-screen, a Green Imp was getting a taste of her brush skills.
"It's Green Imp, and watch out! It's only stunned!" Inori threw the controller down in fury.
"Dammit!"
"Inori Kagemari! Watch your language!" Sister Leeann had just walked into the playroom. I rolled my eyes, bored.
Oh great, another lecture.
"Sister, we always curse. Just because you don't doesn't mean you can be a bitch!" Her eyes went wide.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" All the girls, young and old, were cheering for a fight. Life was usually so boring, with only me being able to get past the Spider Queen.
"Young lady! The Lord is most certainly not pleased with the profanity coming from your mouth! Now go to the confessionary and beg forgiveness!"
"Shut the fuck up, sister." A vein started pulsing in her forehead. Some of the girls were beginning to quiet down.
"If you would so kindly bend over so I can give you a good switching!" I stood up, drawing myself to my full 5'3". I towered over her small frame, in all my gothic glory. I was wearing an Avenged Sevenfold tee, black skinny jeans, and I had my hair in pigtails.
"Look here, sister. I ain't gonna take none of your crap, kay? I don't have to be here. I'm only here because of the free food and a warm bed. My parents may have dumped me on the side of the road, but I could go out there right now and make something of myself. I just don't feel like it. You might just as well give me a knife and throw me into Nippon. The gods would protect me more than you bitches!" With that I stormed up to my room that I shared with two other girls and about a billion posters of Waka and Amaterasu.
Rika poked her head down from the bunk.
"Hey Shisha! Wassa matter?" She jumped down, landing expertly, before standing up, shaking her head of messy blonde curls. She wore a blue shirt that had a dove on it, and a red plaid skirt.
"Oh, just Sister Leeann. You know how she can be." Rika gave her famous impish smile.
"Guess what Mari found?" Mari was a little deaf girl with a knack for causing trouble.
"What now? A pet skunk? A way to make Waka fall in the water? A cheat for changing Issun's color?" Mari crawled down from the bed, clutching something to her chest. I signed to her,
"What is it, Mari?" She held out a moldy, leather-bound book. The title was in a language I couldn't decipher, but it looked vaguely like Japanese.
"Where'd this come from?"
"Mari found it under a loose floorboard. We thought you could make sense of one of these thingies." Rika opened the book to a marked page. She pointed to a passage that was marked with the symbol of rejuvenation. As I looked over it, it began to look like an older form of Japanese, which was my first language.
"This is just a loose translation... 'speak not these words of past destruction, for they shall bring utter ruin upon this world.' Well, that sounds cool. Hey, look I found something that looks like it's about Okami!
' The world we live in is a lonely one
We seek a land beyond the sun
Open the gates to this land of yore
May we be free beyond the door
Orochi struggles against his bonds
The gods work hard to keep them strong
Let them hear our prayers and give us a way to the holy land of the gods.'" We suddenly heard a loud roar from outside.
"Ummmmmm….ok. Let's not read from this book anymore." We tucked the book back under a floorboard and crawled into bed.
?'s POV
So this is she. She will never fit in as a normal resident…I guess I will just put her under the care of Lady Himiko…hm? Who are these young ones? Bah! The little one shall go to the Dragon Palace and the blonde shall go to Kamiki, since there is nowhere else to place them... Master Waka will be cross if he discovers them...
