I would also like to complain that I have an illness and am wheezing whenever I have a deep breath.
With that out the way let's carry on, sorry but no Waka in this chapter but we do have some insults and swearing so enjoy!
Rao Shows Her True Self
Rao's plan was coming together even though it didn't come out as planned but soon it will. She saw the Water Dragon going crazy in the sea and she knew Amaterasu must've gone inside the Water Dragon to get the Dragon Orb back. Rao needed to go to the Dragon Palace to meet up with her as the Fox Rods were eaten by the Water Dragon and Amaterasu would find them if she came out alive.
When she arrived Amaterasu was already there. She must've found the Dragon Orb and the Fox Rods as Rao could feel a strong energy coming from her.
"Amaterasu!" Rao called and Amaterasu turned to see her running towards her.
Jeez, you really must have a problem with perverts! Amaterasu said but of course nobody listened.
"Busty babe, what are you doing here?" Issun asked surprised.
"I saw the Water Dragon struggle from the coast. Have you got the Dragon Orb?"
It was as easy as I said and now I'm back for tea so where is it?
"Yep, Ammy's right we found it. We also found this." Issun then jumped off Amaterasu's head and showed Rao the Fox Rods.
"You found them!?"
"Are these what you were looking for babe? Are these the 'ultimate weapon against the Dark Lord' you said about?"
How are a bunch of bamboo tubes gonna beat the Dark Lord, also known as the grand master of evil beings? Amaterasu asked but she has to get used to being ignored.
"Yes. Quick give them here!" Rao suddenly said.
"Hold on, babe." Issun said jumping back onto Amaterasu's head. "If these are the Dark Instrument then whoever has these might as well have a giant bulls eye on their back. These monsters are going to be doing all they can to find them!"
Screw this! We'll be here all day arguing if you continue and I don't have all day! Amaterasu said and then tossed the Fox Rods to Rao who caught them with a surprised look on her face.
"Amaterasu?"
"I hope you know what you're doing, furball."
Not really but it sure beats a long argument. By the way stop calling me furball! It's Amaterasu, Ammy or Sun Goddess to you!
"Fine then, Ammy. Let's hope busty babe won't get herself killed!" Amaterasu agreed to that and knew something bad was going to happen, and soon too!
…………………………………………………………………………………………
Otohime was glad that Amaterasu was back unharmed (well I got out of the Water Dragon without getting hurt but the Tube Foxes were a challenge)
"Did you get the Dragon Orb?" She asked.
Heck! You don't think I would come out without it did ya!? Amaterasu said and got out the Dragon Orb and threw it above Otohime's throne.
"The Dragon Orb is one of our most treasured possessions. Did you find the Fox Rods?" Otohime suddenly asked.
"Um…well…"
"Surely you found them inside the Water Dragon."
"Well…we did but…we gave them to Himiko's assistant who said she could defeat every last demon left on Ryoshima Coast."
"I hope this assistant can be trusted. Every demon in Ryoshima Coast is after it and if it fell back into the hands of evil then-" Otohime was cut off when the Dragon Orb suddenly flew down in front of Amaterasu.
"What's up with this orb thing?" Issun asked slightly shocked.
Hm…maybe we can watch something on this thing.
"Maybe King Wada wishes to show us a revelation before he departs?" Otohime said and Amaterasu saw an image on the orb. It wasn't a good one. "What could this mean?" Otohime asked after it finished.
By the gods this isn't good! This is close to disaster! Amaterasu thought and mentally cursed herself for being foolish as to give the Fox Rods to a mortal.
"C'mon, Ammy!" Issun shouted near a panicked state. "Make a bee-line for Ankoku Temple!" Amaterasu wasted no time in running to Orca and running after where her feelings told her to go.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
This was a nightmare! Amaterasu arrived at Himiko's Palace and found her lifeless body on the floor and blood around coming from her body.
"What happened here?" Issun asked. "Hey, pretty lady. Himiko!"
Enough, Issun! It's too late she's dead! Amaterasu barked angrily but not angry with Issun but herself. She made a mistake of giving Rao the Fox Rods but how could she not notice!? Rao wasn't a mortal at all!
"It was terrifying." A quiet frightened voice said behind Amaterasu.
"Busty babe, is that you?" Issun asked.
"A beast ten times bigger than me came and destroyed the barrier and left Himiko like that. We stand no chance against the demons. Their leader is such a mighty beast. Our feeble mortal forces are useless."
Why are you here in the first place? Amaterasu thought and started putting together a puzzle. You wanted the Fox Rods so badly and you have powers a mortal shouldn't be able to handle unless they were older than you. You have also stayed young for a long time and how is that possible I ask?
"Hey, Ammy why do ya keep staring at the busty babe? Himiko's dead, aren't you the least bit sad?" Issun asked.
You…you bitch! Amaterasu barked angrily (and that's putting it mildly!) Now I just insulted bitches. There isn't a suitable word I can use without insulting anything.
"Amaterasu? What are you doing?" Rao asked.
"Down, Ammy!"
You can tell me to get down after I have personally ripped her face off and played dodge ball with her head!
"Have you lost your mind? Are you under the evil curse as well?"
"Huh?" Issun didn't understand anything, guess he must be used to being kept in the dark. Rao then said some weird words that sound like a spell.
Enough of this bull shit! Amaterasu barked and lunged herself at Rao. Rao's eyes glowed red and she dodged Amaterasu's attack.
"What the-? What's with those freaky eyes of yours babe? You're freaking me out!" Issun said. Rao then did her evil laugh.
"Well, carrying on with this would spoil the fun. You are a cunning beast Amaterasu." Rao said that sounded so un-Rao like.
You don't even know the half of it! You knew the Fox Rods weren't on the ship and you tried to get the Water Dragon to eat us, then you went to the Dragon Palace and convinced me to give you the Fox Rods the easy way and use them to kill Himiko and now you plan to kill me too! You are the biggest coward I have ever come to face!
"What!?" Issun was shocked to hear that.
"Amaterasu, you are a foolish beast. To think you parted with this item so easily. Know that it was YOU who revived the power of the Dark Lord!" Rao said and a fox mask appeared on her face.
"That's the Dark Lord!? The grand master of evil beings!?"
Issun I don't have time for obvious things at the moment!
"With the Fox Rods I was able to break the barrier like glass. Oh, if only you were here to see Himiko die!" The Evil Rao said laughing evilly.
"Ammy, remember the King's revelation? He was showing how fox face here killed the really busty babe and look what she did to poor little Himiko! Well…we don't need to worry about Oni Island anymore. We are gonna finish it right here, right now!"
You bet Issun. Say your prayers you fox-headed wrench! Amaterasu barked angrily and the battle began.
…………………………………………………………………………………………..
When Amaterasu woke up from being shot by the Dark Lord's power she saw Issun had jumped back onto her head. The Dark Lord had escaped to Oni Island and with the Water Dragon dead and Himiko and the clues as to where it would be dead, the future looked pretty bleak for the mortals. Giving up looked like the only option until Amaterasu noticed something moved inside the crystal ball. The blood had been washed away when the Dark Lord swallowed it and there was clearly an image of Himiko in the ball.
"Mother Amaterasu, I had allowed myself to be consumed by the Dark Lord so I could find the location of Oni Island the coming sunset."
Wait so you knew the Dark Lord had the Fox Rods? Amaterasu asked and Issun translated for the Queen.
"Indeed I did. I managed to infuse the crystal with great power and managed to find the location of Oni Island. It can only be found at sunset at a certain location and I shall show you where it will appear the coming sunset." An image of a demon-like island appeared on the crystal ball and another area.
"Hey, Ammy that looks like Watcher's Cape!" Issun said and Amaterasu agreed with him.
"Mother Amaterasu I cannot last much longer. Please save the lives of my people and let it be known that I sacrificed my life for the good of my people." Suddenly a blinding white light came from the crystal and it then shattered into tiny pieces. Himiko's soul was caught up in the fragments and then flew off to the great beyond.
"Ammy, the suns gonna set soon!" Issun said after a moment of silence. "That image Queen Himiko sacrificed her life to tell us…whatever we do, we can't let it go to waste! Who cares if we can't break the barrier on Oni Island!? Let's make a bee-line for Watcher's Cape, Ammy!"
You bet! I won't disappoint Himiko anymore than I already have. What would Waka think of me if I let it go to waste? Hell, he doesn't even know Himiko is dead! Amaterasu howled a farewell to Himiko's soul and ran off as fast as she could to Watcher's Cape to go and fight…for revenge!
Talk about a wolf goddess in a bad mood! I didn't forget about Waka completely in this chapter did I?
Why must I go through this annoying illness? At least it didn't prevent me from updating on fanfiction oh and I also updated my profile if you wish to take a look then do so.
Review please and as usual don't go easy on me with the reviews I wish to hear you honestly. Ari gadou! Means thanks in Japanese but I may have spelt it wrong.
