Yatsu calls Issun a 'little booger' and I totally forgot about it! This is what it would sound like if i didn't forget:
"What's this? It appears the fair maiden is accompainied by a little booger."
"Little booger!? He better not be talking about me!"
I think I prefer fair maiden to little booger so who's laughing now?
Not exactly funny but this is romance not humour. Now for chapter 10...sheesh how many bloomin' chapters are there gonna be!? I still haven't even got to Sei-an yet and we're on chapter 10! Ah well let's just get on with it while we still can.
Settling it Once and for all!
"I knew you would come Amaterasu." Waka said when Amaterasu, with Kushi on her back and Issun on her head, arrived to the Moon Cave. "I trust you enjoyed your little rendezvous with the sacrificial girl eh?"
Not as much as seeing you without your hat on and showing off your hair. Amaterasu thought.
"What's it to you prophet?" Issun asked but Waka didn't reply. Kushi got off Amaterasu's back and stood uncertain what was going on. Waka spread his arms out wide and energy flowed around. Oh yeah this makes it the 101st time that I have seen this. I know it off by heart now. Waka had done the weird moves and got the serpent crystal out. "Hey that's the serpent crystal he stole from us!" Waka placed the serpent crystal near the edge of the barrier and it just floated there. Waka then got his sword out and did a few moves there and eventually stuck the sword into the ground. He then moved back a little and played a tune on his flute. The barrier got sucked into the serpent crystal and both vanished at the end of his tune. Waka grabbed the sword, put it back in it's case and turned to face Amaterasu.
"Well, the cave is open." He said. "You have played your part now leave the rest to me, Amaterasu." The ground shook and Amaterasu readied herself for Orochi's attack. Waka at first ignored it but then he heard Orochi coming and turned to see a black snake shadow moving towards him! He dodged it and so did Amaterasu but Kushi wasn't so lucky. She was grabbed by it and taken down into the cave. Amaterasu ran after it and the cave resealed. When Waka recovered he came to the edge of the barrier only to be accused by Issun, as usual.
"Why you…! What's the meaning of this!?" He said while hitting the barrier but not actually making any difference. Amaterasu decided to poke the barrier for the hell of it (like a lot of people do).
"Meaning?" Waka said thinking and enjoying messing with Issun's head. "Does the saying 'like a moth to a flame' ring any bells? I mean, you went in on your own accord no? Of course, only one other besides the victim is supposed to get in. I guess you really don't count, my little bouncing friend." Waka then laughed at his own joke. Amaterasu didn't really get it but she knew it was cruel to tease Issun even if he did it to other people.
"Dang! We've been tricked!" Issun complained not offended by Waka's joke. Not tricked but I forgot this happened, should've thought this through more carefully. Well at least Waka won't have his 'tea party' with Orochi without me.
"It is time for you to shine, Amaterasu." Waka said after getting over his laughter. "Now let me leave you with this: Look! The moon, the moon came out! Pardon me ma chérie, that wasn't a very good one." He said rubbing his head in embarrassment. "Au revoir!" He then jumped away and headed off to the Big Drawbridge.
"Damn that prophet!" Issun muttered under his breath. "Well we were plannin' to take care of that Orochi anyway so let's go." Ok just let me poke it one more time. Amaterasu said and did so. She then turned and ran into the cave to face whatever was at the end. Little did either of them know was that Susano was hiding nearby and heard everything, he has made his decision and he was going to fight Orochi.

Where the hell had Ajimi gone!? He was above cooking the appetizer a moment ago now he had vanished. Lord Orochi had got his sacrifice and he was just waiting for the appetizer, which they couldn't do without the Head Chef.
Just then a white wolf with a cool mask came in the kitchen. She looked at the Imp who was 'looking' for Ajimi.
"Where has the Head Chef gone?" the Imp muttered which the wolf heard. "He was up there a moment ago." The white wolf walked up the stairs and used some power to make the vines pull the lid of the giant saucepan thing and there was an Imp swimming in the middle.
"Owie, owie, owie!" He said trying to keep afloat. "That's hot stuff! Hey darling can you give me a hand before I'm all done and ready to go? Owie, owie, owie!" The white wolf nodded and eventually got the Imp out. "Thanks darling, I was cooking with such tender loving care that I totally spaced out and almost cooked my own goose!"
"Tender loving care?" The white wolf (actually Issun) said unable to believe demons actually felt love.
"Oh what a fabulous mask you have there darling." What's with you and saying darling all the time? Amaterasu thought (screw acting like I don't know them) "Say would you like to help me? I need to make an appetizer for Lord Orochi before he has his sacrifice but I'm missing some ingredients. I could finish without them but I wouldn't be putting the best in my beloved's meal."
"Beloved?" Issun said more confused now. "No we can't see we didn't come here to help but…how should I put this…?"
Oh c'mon Issun I wanna go get some food I haven't eaten in ages, plus we could use this to find Orochi and Kushi. Amaterasu suggested but Issun wasn't looking.
"Oh please? It will be worth your time. Here I'll give you a key the rest is up to you darling." Enough with the 'darling' thing already! Amaterasu thought but made her way to find the stuff she was after.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
Orochi was getting impatient! He has got the sacrifice but where is the appetizer? He cannot eat the human without his appetizer. What was keeping those tiny masked face demons so long!? He was hiding and he doesn't know how long the human can stay unconscious for, not much longer he didn't think.
He then heard the bell being ringed 8 times and he knew the appetizer was ready. He removed the barrier that blocked the way for the lift (or elevator depending if you're American which I'm not) and he waited for the demons to bring him the appetizer.
Orochi heard footsteps but it wasn't from a 2-footed demon but a 4-footed animal, a wolf. The goddess who defeated him 100 years ago with Nagi has returned and wanted revenge.
Amaterasu saw Kushi on the back of what she thought was Orochi but she still ran down to save her. She got to the steps when she felt the ground move. The ground showed cracks and she decided to step back, a wise decision. The mountain thing moved out of the ground and Amaterasu came face-to-face with Orochi.
Stuff this mask! Time to kick this fat bastards arse! All 8 of them! Amaterasu thought throwing her mask away.
"O wild god of the heavens," Orochi said. "why is it that after dying and turning into stone that you have come back? 100 years in an icy tomb, you reek of decay."
"Enough of this, drink sake snake boy!" Issun said throwing the remains of the Thunder Brew. Orochi did drink it but he didn't even seem to be effected by it (must be an alcoholic). Orochi howled and Amaterasu jumped at him to strike him in the face but she bounces off.
"That cheater has a barrier up! Any ideas furball?" Issun asked sensing panic. Orochi then left the goddess alone and went to have his sacrificial dinner. Kushi had woken up and she was trembling with fear, knowing that her death will be painful. Orochi was about to grab her when a familiar voice called out: "Stop vile serpent!" Orochi did stop and turned to see Susano in wooden armour standing proud above the fighting scene like he was ruler (in his dreams!).
"Susano you came!" Kushi shouted happily. Orochi's head (err the fire one) moved closer and they began talking. Nobody knew what they were discussing but they knew Susano wasn't liking the deal as he stabbed Orochi in the forehead and his sword penetrated the barrier around Orochi. Orochi, after getting over that shock, howled in anger and was ready to fight. Amaterasu noticed that the area around Orochi had been filled with sake. Now that's what I call a real party! Let's get this party started right! Amaterasu thought and lunged at Orochi. The battle that ended 100 years ago will end again right here right…NOW!
…………………………………………………………………………………………
Waka had felt it, Orochi had lost to Amaterasu…again. The phoenix statue by the Big Drawbridge he was at had been re-lighted and evil wasn't so strong anymore.
"Waka the situation has grown urgent!" Queen Himiko told Waka by telepathy. "Return to Sei-an for further instruction." Finally some action!
"Tres bien!" Waka replied. "Amaterasu, you may have defeated Orochi but don't think it will be so easy next time." That wasn't something he was displeased with but a warning. Sei-an is in trouble and only Amaterasu can fix the problems but Waka could help with a few clues he leaves plus he loves to mess with their heads. Waka jumped to the other side of the bridge and made his way to Sei-an, the Tao Troopers were going to be pleased to hear from him again.
-singing- Orochi is dead! Orochi is dead! Orochi is dead and has gone to hell!
Don't you people remember Ajimi? The Head Chief in the Moon Cave like the only bad guy I actually think deserves to live!? Is Ajimi a girl or boy it doesn't mention it on the game I don't think? Ah well it can be a he for now.
Review please and I do accept anonymous reviews if ya didn't know. -singing- Orochi is dead!
