Against a War Torn Sky
Chapter One
"Murakumo," Akima said, kneeling before him. "I suspect that Kaede and Susana-oh have gone against the Arigami and plan to destroy our plans."
He sat on his throne, staring off into the darkness that surrounded them. "We don't worry about them, Akima," he said. "They are the ones that have to be worried."
Akima lifted her head in bewilderment. She couldn't believe that he wasn't worried about them. She knew they were very strong and had a lot of power, even more than that of the Arigami. So, how could the Arigami possibly win against them? It would be a war against the gods. Gods that were practically invincible.
"Sir Murakumo," she said. "How can you be so certain about that? A war against them would be like fighting against giants."
"Have faith in the Arigami," he hissed. "We are warriors with the power to rise above any problem that comes our way. We will rise above this, Akima."
"How?" she asked.
He stood up and walked towards her, his cape unfurling like a flag behind him. He took her hands and lifted her to her feet. "I have a plan that will help us," he replied. "And I need you in order for it to work."
She raised her eyebrows in curiosity. "Me, your majesty?" she asked, sucking in air. "What could I possibly do that will help you succeed with your plan?"
He lifted his hand to remove the golden hair that fell in her face. "Your body, like mine, is embedded with eight mitamas, which gives you power beyond other members of the Arigami. So you are the only one that will be able to make my plan become a reality."
She looked down at the mitama that was rooted above her chest. She knew he was right. She was the only one who could do it, whatever it was that he wanted her to do. "I'll do whatever you want me to do. I will be loyal to the Arigami," she said, and then looked up at him. "I will be faithful to you, too, Murakumo."
"I know you will," he said, and grinned.
Akima felt her heart beating wildly against her ribs. With each beat, she felt as if it would rip through her skin and land on Murakumo's feet. Her stomach felt as if it was filled with butterflies, fluttering anxiously. These feelings were so foreign to her. She didn't know if the feelings were bad or if they were good. All she knew was that she felt strongly for him in a way that even she couldn't explain.
"Akima, are you ready for my plans?" he asked.
She nodded her head and smiled. "I'm ready."
"Good," he said, and took her hand. "Then let's go."
"All right," she said, and they walked off into the darkness.

"Kusanagi," Momiji said, leaning her head on his shoulder. "Do you love me?"
He nodded. "More than anything."
They sat on a wooden bench in the park, staring at the view of Tokyo's skyscrapers above he cheery blossom trees. It's been a couple of weeks since they've last fought against the Arigami. They know that they aren't going to stop attacking, but they knew that they weren't going to attack anytime soon. Because in a couple of days, Japan will be celebrating the Rite of Matsuri and that is the time when the Kushinada's powers are the strongest. So the Arigami knew if they attacked now, they would have no chance of winning.
"Then you would protect me no matter what, right?" she asked.
"Of course," he said, and turned to her. "Why are you asking me all these questions, Momiji? Are you all right?"
She looked down at the cobblestone path beneath their feet and shrugged. "I'm not sure," she said. "I've been having these weird feelings lately."
"What kind of feelings?" he asked.
"I think that the Arigami are trying to trick us by laying low," she replied. "It's like they want us to believe that they're not going to attack so we put our guard down, making ourselves vulnerable to danger. And when we do eventually put our guard down, they'll attack, causing a major catastrophe."
"When do you feel like that?" he asked.
"The feeling is getting stronger with every passing day," she said, and looked up at him. "I feel it deep inside of me, Kusanagi. And it's weird, because I only felt like this when I had my mitama, but now you have it. So I don't understand how I can possibly feel like this."
"You may have lost the mitama, but you still have the blood of the Kushinada running through your veins, don't forget that," he said, and took her hand. "You have nothing to worry about. I will always protect you, don't forget that either."
"I won't," she said, and tilted her head toward the vast, blue sky. "But I can't help to feel that a war is coming."
"I know what you mean," he said, and sighed. "But I'll try anything to stop it from doing so."
Momiji nodded and then leaned back on his shoulder. She closed her eyes in hopes of opening them in another world. A world without war, without hate, and without the Arigami. It would be a perfect world. But it was a dream world; that's all it was. A dream that wouldn't come true. It will be a world that she could only make up in her head or write a story about.
"Momiji, let's get out of here," Kusanagi said. "What do you say?"
"All right," she said, standing up.
They held hands as they walked through the park filled with dense cherry blossom trees and small ponds filled with multi-colored fish. Everything and everyone around them was unaware of what the next days were going to bring. Whether it was going to be sadness, depression, devastation, or maybe even massacre, they knew they weren't safe from it. No one was.

Meanwhile in the underworld…
"Akima," Murakumo said, "are you positive you can do this?"
She nodded. "I'm very positive. I will put all my will into this."
"Good," he said, sitting down. "Then you may leave to Earth."
She bowed her head and started to walk towards the stone entranceway when he called out to her. She stopped and turned to him. "What is it, your majesty?"
"Just don't go and get yourself killed while you're over there," he said. "I may need you in the future."
She smiled. "I'll try," she answered. "I'm not sure if "be careful" is in my vocabulary, though."
"That's why I'll be watching over you," he said.
She nodded and walked into the darkness. She walked down the long, dark corridor until she got to a wooden door. She pushed it open and closed it securely behind her. Flames on torches scattered the walls, giving the room a soft glow. She walked into the middle of the room, where a pool of crystal-clear water was. She bent down and placed her palm on the surface of it, forming gentle ripples.
As the ripples cleared, a picture started to appear in the water. It eventually cleared and a picture of a couple swayed in the water.
She grinned as she started into the water. "Kusanagi…" She laughed. "You will soon be back with Arigami. Real soon."
