Hello and welcome to the third of this remake of my very first story, in this chapter Akashi is getting used to live with the furious five and Po at the Jade Palace, but he can't still forget his past and everything he went through so the masters will try to help him to start a new life and forget what happened in the past, but is he willing to forget.
Arc 1 Chapter 3: Starting a new life.
It a new day on the jade palace, and master Tigress woke up from her sleep and noticed she was the first one to wake up, or so she thought. Tigress got out of her room and walked to the room next to hers and opened the door searching for Akashi, but he was nowhere to be seen, Tigress first thought was that he might run away again, but then she heard someone at the training hall, so she walked outside towards the training hall to see who was training.
Tigress arrived to the training hall and opened the door and to her surprise she found Akashi training with all his strengths. Tigress noticed Akashi was not aware of her presence, so she stood there watching her new student training hard. Akashi was in the middle of the wooden spinning warriors, attacking and avoiding them with ease, the young wolf kept attacking and blocking with no effort, but he was starting to get bored of it, so he jumped towards the roof and landed on one of the support beams and propelled himself towards the ground with all his strengths and slammed the ground with both of his fist creating a earthquake that destroyed most of the wooden warriors.
"I guess we need new wooden warriors." Tigress said crossing her arms while Akashi turned around and rubbed the back of his head.
"Sorry, I guess I took it too far." Akashi said smiling nervously, while Tigress looked around.
"I have never seen a technique like that, how did you learn it." Tigress asked looking at her student.
Akashi flattened his ears when he heard that question and replied. "I invented it with one friend of mine."
Tigress noticed Akashi's sad tone when he answered the question and said. "I see, Akashi what if we take the day off today, we can go to the valley and buy some stuff for you."
"I like that idea, just not know, I want to be alone for a while." Akashi said running away towards the barracks.
Akashi ran towards the barracks and jumped over the roof, and sat down while looking at the skies and whispered. "It has been like a year since the last time I saw them, I wonder if they are okay."
Meanwhile Po was going out with monkey to buy more almond cookies, to replace the ones he ate, but suddenly stopped when he noticed Akashi sitting on the roof and said. "Monkey, I have to do something first, what if you go I will catch up with you later."
Po climbed a nearby tree to reach the roof of the barracks, but still it was a long jump for him from the tree to the roof, but like always he didn't think it twice. Po jumped to the roof and barely made it, the heavy panda was holding with all his strengths and tried to get on the roof, but to his bad luck the tiles he was holding from loosen causing him to slip and fall to the ground. Po was about to hit the ground and closed the eyes and waited for the hit, but for his surprise it never came. Po opened his eyes and saw a chain tied around his waist and then looked up at Akashi holding the chain and pulling Po up to the roof. Po made it up to the roof and panted heavily tried to regain his breath, while Akashi sat on the roof again.
Po looked at Akashi and asked. "Akashi, what wrong dude."
"It's nothing Po, I was just thinking on someone." Akashi said looking at the skies with a blank stare.
Po looked at Akashi's eyes and knew exactly what was happening to him. "It's about your friends isn't it?"
Akashi placed his arms over his knees and later placed his chin over his arms and said. "Yes."
"I know I shouldn't ask this, but what happened to them." Po said trying not to hurt Akashi.
"I don't know, I can hardly remember a thing from what happened last time I saw them." Akashi replied while looking up the sky.
Po then realized why Akashi was so hurt, he couldn't remember what happened to them, so he placed his arm around Akashi and said. "Don't worry little dude, I bet they are all right, and probably searching for you."
"I wish that could be true." Akashi said surprising Po. "I might not remember that much, but I can remember something, they died and is my entire fault."
"Don't say that Akashi, it's not your fault…" Po said trying to make his friend fell better, but Akashi cut him off.
"Yes it is! I…. I could have done something to help them, but I let rage take over me, I could have done I something to help them, but instead I let darkness take over me and let them die!" Akashi said having a few glances of what he could remember of what happened that day.
"But how are you so sure they died." Po asked Akashi trying to calm him down.
Akashi stood up while looking at the clouds and said. "Because, the last thing I remember is… a explosion… then nothing, then of that the last thing I remember was that I was floating on a piece of wood down the river, alone, I know my friends died… because no one could survive an explosion like that, I was left alone again." Akashi then stood up and finished. "I knew my friends were gone, and that is was my entire fault, so with all respect Po, leave me alone."
Akashi then jumped off the roof and walked back to his room, leaving Po sitting on the roof alone and, well, stuck. "How I'm getting down of here!" Po asked himself trying to grab the branch of a tree, but slipped and fell to the ground. "I'm fine."
Later that day, Akashi was in his room, lying on his bed while looking at the roof, still thinking of what happened, and why he had only blurry memories of what happened on the last day he saw his friends. Akashi lifted his hand on the air and clutched on a fist, while someone knocked the door of his room, so he turned to it and asked. "Who is there?"
"Akashi, is me, Tigress, I thought you will like to come with me and Viper to buy some stuff for you." Tigress said waiting for Akashi's answer.
Akashi glared at the door and replied. "I will like to go, but I not in the mood right now."
Tigress and Viper opened the door and entered Akashi's room and dragged the young wolf out of it and to the village. Then of sometime Akashi finally accepted to walk instead of being dragged through the entire village, the three of them walked through the stores looking for some stuff for Akashi, and then Viper turned at Akashi and said. "First of all you need something to wear."
"Something new, but what's wrong with my clothes." Akashi asked Viper while looking at his tattered shirt and pants.
Viper glared at the young boy and replied. "You really want me to answer that, just look at you, your clothes are so dirty and tattered, when was the last time you changed clothes."
Akashi started to think when the last time he wore something different and replied. "I have been using these clothes since I have memory of it."
Viper and Tigress glared at each other and dragged Akashi into a clothing store and started choosing clothes for him, then he gave him a huge pile of clothes and told him to try them on, Akashi started looking at the clothes the girls choose for him, but then noticed most of them where a bit too… girly. "Viper did you chose all this." Akashi asked the snake master while she nodded. "I'm not trying any of this, they are too girly, I rather use my tattered clothes."
"Well, what if you pick what you want to use." Tigress said while smiling at Akashi.
Akashi thought about it for the second, and started searching around the store searching for clothes he liked, then of searching he entered the fitting room to try his new clothes. The girls waited for Akashi to come out and then of a minute waiting, Akashi came out and said. "So how do I look?"
Akashi was wearing a pair of black pants, a elbow-long sleeved, silver grey shirt with red edges, and a pair of red, fingerless, gloves on each hand, and he tied a red, short scarf around his left arm. Viper and Akashi looked at Akashi and blinked several times before saying. "You look handsome."
"I bet the girls will be all over you Akashi." Viper said looking at Akashi, later the three of them walked out of the store and started searching for sometimes for Akashi's room.
Akashi walked behind the girls with his hands behind his head, thinking on how the girls were trying to make him feel welcome on the jade palace; Akashi closed his eyes and smiled when he realized how important he was for them, but suddenly…
"Out of the way!"
Akashi opened his eyes, only to see how someone crashed with him and fell to the ground. Akashi groaned in pain and tried to get up, but the person he crashed with was over him, so he tried to get him off, but then he felt something soft on his hands and when he looked he was shocked, when he saw it was a beautiful mountain cat that crashed with him, and he had his hand on her breasts. The female felines noticed Akashi's hand on her breast and hissed at him while punching his face and knocking him, the feline stood up and shook the dirt of her clothes, but then some guards appeared and saw the girl and started chasing her.
The feline noticed the guards were after her, so she ran away as fast as she could, meanwhile Tigress and Viper helped Akashi to stand up and cleaned the dust from his new clothes. Akashi regained his consciousness and shook his head and noticed the guards chasing the girl, so he started running after the guards to help the feline.
The female mountain cat ran toward a dead end and noticed the guards surrounding her, she hissed at them and was ready for everything, but then out of nowhere, a chain appeared and pulled one of the guards and knocked him on a wall. The feline then saw a white and black wolf landing right in front of her. "Don't you guys dare to touch this gentle woman, unless you want me to beat you?"
The guards looked at each other and lifted their weapons to fight Akashi, so one of the guards rushed to attack Akashi, but then the female feline took a short blade and stopped the guard from attacking Akashi. The feline turned to Akashi and said. "Thanks, but I need no help."
Akashi smiled at her and took out a pair of daggers and replied. "I never let a lady alone with troubles."
So the guards rushed to attack the two of them, but the teenagers used their weapons to defend themselves. Akashi kicked some guards and sued his daggers to slice in half the spears the guards where carrying, while the female feline used her dagger to slice the guards and kicked them to knock them off the way. The two of them kept fighting the guards, but they were too many for them, so Akashi and the feline stood back to back knocking most of the guards, but there still too many for them.
"Hey wolf boy, can you handle that chain very well." The feline asked Akashi while he turned to her.
"Of course I can." Akashi replied her hitting one guard with his chain.
The feline smiled at him and tied the chain around her wrist and said. "Then make me fly."
Akashi knew what she was talking about, so both of them jumped to the sky. While the guards watched them, then Akashi used his chains to send the feline towards the guards. The female mountain cat landed in the middle of the guards, and then she pulled the chain, pulling Akashi in the process. The young wolf engulfed his fist on darkness and impacted the ground creating a wave of darkness that knocked the guards to the air. Akashi and the golden mountain cat took advantage of it and started taking out the guards one by one, then the two teenagers stood side by side while the guards felled to the ground unconscious.
"Man, that was a lot of fun; we should do it again sometime." Akashi said turning to the feline, but noticing she disappeared and left him alone. "Some manners, she didn't even said thanks, she is just like… her"
Akashi stood there realizing what just happened, and thinking about the girl, and then it hit him. "Oh… my… Ancestors! Lady Rei! Bachan!" Akashi shouted running back to the jade palace.
Meanwhile Lady Rei was sitting on the ground meditating, but suddenly her meditation was interrupted when Akashi busted through the door and said. "Lady Rei, I saw *pant* her, I saw *pant* Raven!"
"Akashi, calm down, I can't understand a think." Lady Rei replied turning to the young boy and placing her hands behind her back.
Akashi walked towards her and said. "I saw Raven, she is alive."
Lady Rei stood there thinking of what Akashi said to her and replied. "That can't be, she must have died with the others, I couldn't sense her aura then of the explosion."
Akashi stared at Lady Rei, thinking it was just a coincidence, realizing Raven had black fur, and the girls she saw at the village was tan furred. "You are right; I couldn't see her aura, so she can't be Raven."
Lady Rei smiled at Akashi and placed her hand over her pupils shoulder and said. "Akashi, past is past, you must start focusing on the present and start a new life, I know it's not easy, but if you keep thinking about it, the more pain it will bring you."
Akashi nodded at her and walked outside to the courtyard and kicked a rock while thinking. "Lady Rei is right, she can't be alive, is just she was just like her, strong, brave, slender, and beautiful." Akashi then realized he was still thinking about her and shook his head trying to forget her and muttered. "Akashi keep yourself together, you are starting to lose your mind."
"I noticed it when you ran away to help that girl."
Akashi turned around scared, but then realizing it was just Master Viper, so he bowed to her and said. "Master, since when you have been here."
"Long enough, Po told me what happened to your friends, do you really think they are dead." Master Viper asked Akashi while slithering to him.
Akashi looked at the skies and replied. "I don't know, I keep thinking they are dead, but deep inside me, is like if they are alive."
"Then they are alive." Master Viper said smiling to the young wolf. "If you feel deep in your heart they are still alive, it means they still with you, in your heart."
"I don't understand it, how can they still alive, I saw them dying." Akashi said grabbing his head, while having a few flashes of what happened when he lost his friends.
"But your heart can still feel them; their spirits are with you and nothing will ever change that." Viper said while smiling and hugging him.
"I guess you are right, they are still with me." Akashi said hugging Viper back.
"What pathetic, hoping those brats you called friends are still alive, you really disappoint me Akashi." An evil voice said from nowhere while many shadows appeared surrounding him and Viper.
Akashi stood in front of Viper to make sure the shadows couldn't hurt her, but the shadows only wanted to kill him. Akashi then noticed a shadow running towards him, but the shadows punched him in a split second, not even giving a chance for Akashi to react. Akashi stood up, but the shadows started moving too fast for him, not letting him to react, so the shadows punched and kicked Akashi with an unbelievable speed, knocking the young wolf to the ground. The shadows jumped in the air ready to pounce over him, but at the last moment, someone appeared using a short sword and slicing the shadows in half. Akashi stood up, looking at the person that just saved him, and for his surprise was the same feline he helped back at the village. The feline turned at Akashi and extended her hand to help him.
Akashi took the felines hand and noticed she was wearing a sleeveless purple vest and a pair of black silk pants. Akashi stared at the feline for a second, so she waved her hand in front of the wolf's face and said. "Hey are you there."
Akashi heard her voice clearly and noticed it was a sweet and heartwarming voice, and he also lost on the feline's green eyes, but suddenly he snapped out of his dream when a shadow tried to attack the feline, but she turned around kicking it and knocking the shadow back. "So are you going to fight, or you will just keep staring at me."
Akashi was astonished when he saw the young feline fighting the shadows with her blade; the mountain cat sliced the shadows with an incredible speed, taking the shadows one by one, so Akashi wanted to help so he evoked his dark aura, so he placed his hand on the ground creating a giant dark claw that stunned most of the shadows. Akashi saw his opportunity and took advantage of it, so he rushed towards the shadows and used his claws to destroy the shadows. The feline turned at Akahsi and smiled at him, but she didn't realized there was a giant shadow behind her, and when she turned around it was too late, the giant shadow grabbed her and started clutching her body.
"No, leave her alone." Akashi said growling at the shadow.
"And what are you going to do, you are just a little wimp." The creature said while smiling devilishly and clutching the poor feline.
Akashi growled at the shadow while a white aura started to swirl around him, Akashi raised his hand while the white aura started to swirl on the palm of his hand creating a Shuriken of aura.
"I can't believe this, is the aura of Akimitsu." Lady Rei said looking at Akashi.
"Take this, Wind style; air-blade Shuriken!" Akashi said throwing the aura Shuriken to the shadow and slicing it in half.
Akashi then rushed towards the sliced shadow and grabbed both parts and threw them to the air and said. "Time to end this." Akashi clasped his hands while a pair of giant chains appeared and surrounded the shadow. "Die you ugly bastard!" Akashi shouted as he clutched his hands while the chains tightened around the monster crushing and killing it.
The mysterious feline fell to the ground, but before she could hit the ground Akashi jumped just in time to catch her. Akashi let the feline on the ground as he stared at his palm and said. "What was all that?"
"It was the aura of your father, you seem to have inherited it." Lady Rei said walking towards Akashi.
Akashi turned to Lady Rei and replied. "But why it only appeared until now."
"Because it was the moment you need it most, to protect you friends, although you can't manage it yet, you must train yourself to learn how to evoke it with efficiency." Lady Rei said explaining everything to the young wolf.
"Don't worry wolf boy, I know you will eventually manage it, by the way my name is Miyoko Misaki Ling but my friends call me Miyo." Miyo said walking towards Akashi.
"I'm Akashi Okami, it's a pleasure to meet a beautiful girl like you" Akashi said while the other guys giggled at him.
"Why thank you handsome" Miyo said kissing Akashi's cheek. "That's for saving me from that monster and this is for touching my breasts." Miyo continued punching Akashi in the face.
"I guess I deserve it." Akashi said rubbing his cheek.
"anyway, I was here because my sister Mei ling told me about this place, she said I could stay here s I can train." Miyo said turning to Viper.
Then from nowhere Master Crane appeared and said. "Excuse me, did you just said your sister is Mei Ling."
"Indeed, I have been training with her all this years, but she told me about this place, she said one of her friends trained here." Miyo said explaining the situation to everyone, but Crane was a bit occupied thinking about Mei Ling.
Master Shifu looked at the girl and replied. "Well, if that's true then you are more than welcome to stay with us and train here."
"Great, I will like to go to my bed now, I'm a bit tired from traveling." Miyo said stretching her body, while Master Shifu guided her to her room.
Akashi just stood there glaring at the feline she just met, when a tail poked and snapped him out of his thoughts, so he turned around to face Viper who was smiling widely at him and said. "What!?"
"You like don't you?" Viper asked the young wolf.
Akashi blushed at the question and replied nervously. "No... No, I just helped a lady in trouble."
Viper just giggled as she slithered back to the barracks leaving Akashi alone with lady Rei. Akashi turned to Lady Rei and said. "Do you think she...?
"I'm afraid she isn't her, her fighting style was the same, but her aura is different." Lady Rei said emotionless to Akashi as she walked to the barracks. "Oh and you should work early tomorrow, we will train on that technique you created."
Akashi groaned while rubbing the back of his head and walking behind Lady Rei.
Meanwhile Somewhere else
A black wolf covered by a cloak was sitting on a giant throne, while a male lion covered with a similar d kneeled in front of him and said. "Master, we discovered Akashi is starting to manifest the white aura of the Okami, is he manages it he will be unstoppable."
"Don't worry Lucifer, I will make sure that won't happen." The evil wolf said laughing evilly.
"Master, may I ask how?" Lucifer said looking at is master.
"Easy we will lure him into a trap, and bring his most painful memories to him." The evil wolf replied to Lucifer while smiling.
Oh great, I guess Akashi might have to be careful because someone is behind his tail, but I'm sure he will be alright, I think... anyway I hope you guys like the chapter sorry for not updating soon, but I will try to update sooner next time, so see you on the next chapter ladies and gentleman
