Both Tails and Amaterasu left the Guardian Sapling room and follow the path back down heading towards Shinshu Field, Along the way, they run into another Curse Tree.

"That creepy old tree just won't give up. I've got an idea, Ammy! Maybe you could hit its fruit right back at it! And while it's stun, you could use Bloom to rid it of evil." Issun said, thinking on how to get rid of the tree.

"I'll Power Slash the fruit, and you Bloom it." Tails said, after thinking for a minute.

Amaterasu nods, and they waited until it threw its fruit. Tails quickly Power Slash it back and stun the Curse Tree. Amaterasu then uses her new Bloom brush power, and the Curse Tree became a normal tree with cherries on it. They walk past the tree and soon came to a patch of curse grass.

"Whoa, Ammy, Tails, hold on! Hana Valley looks so much better now, but, what about this gloomy patch of grass? You can use the power of Bloom to fill it in. Just fill it with your brush, and Bloom will take care of it!" Issun stops them.

Both of them looked and could feel the evil coming off the patch of grass.

"There's just this one patch of gloomy grass. You can use the power of Bloom to fill it in. Just fill it with your brush, and Bloom will take care of it!" Issun told them.

"Tails, would you like to try? After all, you have been getting my brush powers too." Amaterasu said to him.

"Err...Sure." Tails said, blushing a little.

Tails grab one of his tails and watch some ink drip off it. He drew a circle around the patched grass, and it soon bushes into flowers and a scroll appear. Amaterasu picks it up and reads it.

"There was a scroll here, too, eh? Ammy, this looks like the Travel Guide! It's an ancient record of a pilgrimage across the land. If this were the real thing, it'd normally be worth a fortune, but with all the copies out there, you probably wouldn't get much for it. At any rate, if you ever wanna read it, just open the Fan Menu. It may sound rather preachy, but it should at least help you in your travels." Issun said, excitedly.

"She reading it already, Issun." Tails told him, sweat dropping a little.

After Amaterasu was done, both she and Tails started to travel back through Hana Village and made it back to Shinshu Field. They could still see the cursed area, showing that only Hana Village was uncursed.

"OK! That's a new brush technique in the bag! Now, Ammy, Tails, before you get all excited and forget what you're supposed to do, I have an important tip for you. Ready? OK then. If you ever forget what to do next, open the Fan Menu and then take a look at the Log Book. You'll find your Journal there." Issun spoke up before they could move.

Amaterasu opens her fan and saw the Log Book. She opens it and saw it had the words that Issun said about the Guardian Sapling. After reading it, she closes the fan and looks at Tails, who shrugged.

"Your Journal is a record of the important dialogue you've heard. It shows all the important info ya have in that furry little head! Just dig up info the way I just showed you, and you'll be able to recall important things! Your adventure will be a lot easier if you remember this. Also remember, first things first! OK, let's get going!" Issun explains.

"Well, that is a good idea." Tails said, thinking about it.

"Yes, but he couldn't mention it earlier?" Amaterasu asked, annoyed.

Both Tails and Amaterasu reach the Guardian Sapling, and they both use the Bloom power and watch as the curse disappears as flowers push it away. Tails and Amaterasu smiled as they felt the wind blow on their faces.

"Wow! That nasty cursed zone is completely gone! The plants and animals are back! And just feel that fresh breeze! Now that's what I call Great Divine Intervention! If you keep on dispelling the evil curse like this, I bet the gods of nature will lend you their powers!" Issun said happily.

Yeah, this is very nice." Tails smile.

"Indeed, I must have felt this breeze before. It really nice." Amaterasu said, smiling as well.

Just as they enjoy the breeze, they spotted Sakuya's Konohana tree blooming in the distance. They saw the wilted tree grow green leaves and smile even more.

"Hey, that's, that's Sakuya's tree, isn't it? Maybe she perked up 'cause you revived a Guardian Sapling? Well, we can stop by and see her later. I mean, we're kinda on a roll here. How about we take a look around Shinshu Field first? You've been gone 100 years, right? A good run around the place will do ya good!" Issun said.

"Sounds good. If I have been here before, it would be nice to see all that has happened in the last 100 years." Amaterasu agrees.

"Well, I don't recall coming here before at all. So, I'll join you, Amaterasu!" Tails said, making Amaterasu smile even more.

Both of them started to run around the field, looking around. They soon came to an old gate that had some evil energy coming off it.

"Whoa!? What's up with this old gate? I don't like the looks of it. It's just teeming with evil power. I can feel it! Still, you being a god and all, we can't just ignore it. Whaddaya think, my furry friends? We go through it, or what?" Issun asked.

"I don't let this at all." Amaterasu growl.

"Let's get rid of it." Tails agreed.

They walk through the gate and were attacked by some Green and Red Imps. Even though they get rid of them another wave appears. They dealt with those Imps as well, and the gate was destroyed.

"So that's it. Those things are gateways to monster lairs! I've heard of such gates before. They're called Devil Gates. Those monsters got a lotta nerve building things like that! Let's tear'em down wherever we find 'em!" Issun said unhappily.

"Agree!" Tails and Amaterasu said in unison.

The two explore some more and found another Devil Gate. They destroy the gate, and the area is restored and they both read the sign also appears.

"Nameless Man's Kiln"

"It's a big old' kiln for firing pottery. Guess somebody works here. I bet they could make some sweet pottery in a kiln like this!" Issun said.

They move on and saw someone else on the ground and looks as if in agony.

"Ow, ow, ow! What's going on!? Ida of the Dangan Express never trips up! I've fallen and I can't get up! Must be a curse..." The Man said.

Express Messenger Ida

"What's wrong sir?" Tails asked, forgetting that he couldn't understand him.

"I don't have time for fallin' over! People are waitin' for mail. Those monsters must have set some kind of trap for me as a joke. Darn it! I knew I should have bought a Traveler's Charm!" Ida said.

That is when Amaterasu remember that she brought a Traveler's Charm just before leaving Kamiki Village. She opens her fan and pulls it out.

"Hey, pooch! That's a Traveler's Charm you've got there, isn't it?" Ida asked when he saw it.

Amaterasu gives the Traveler's Charm to him and he jumps up on his feet.

"Oh! Yes! I feel so light! My body feels as light as a feather! Thanks, pooch! You saved me. Can't hang about. Gotta catch up on my deliveries!" Ida said and ran off.

"He fast, but I have seen faster." Tails said, unknowingly.

"Really, Fox Boy? Who?" Issun asked him.

"I don't know. I just keep seeing a blue blur run in my mind." Tails said, unsure.

Amaterasu was really getting worried now. It appears that Tails' memories keep trying to rush back at him, while hers took their time. She steps up and started to rub his shoulders. Tails started to relax, and for some reason, both Tails and Amaterasu felt they had done something like this before.

"Thanks, Amaterasu." Tails said, feeling better.

"Anytime, dear," Amaterasu said.

"Dear?" Issun asked.

"I said that? Odd." Amaterasu said.

"Well, it's okay. I don't mind." Tails said, smiling.


Okay, this chapter has been sitting in the Docs for a really long time. I'll cover the tour of the Shinshu Field in another chapter. Now, LancetheFox, I understand your review but let me clear one thing up for you. The reason is very much like the game is because Tails was pulled from his world and brought into the Okami World. I'm still thinking on how that happens. And I am taking my time on Tails and Amaterasu's relationship. For now, they are friends. But it will slowly build up to being more than that. I'll try to do that in the next chapter.

And for reason, when I had Issun said tear'em down, Grammer thinks it should be hear'em down. By that, I mean the Evil Gates you sometimes find on the map.
