Fox-headed Wench Goes Down
Otohime was already at Watchers Cape waiting for Amaterasu to arrive. Issun was a bit surprised to see her out of the sea but said she had heard Himiko's last cry from the halls of the Dragon Palace.
"Behold, the sun." Otohime said and gestured at the sun. "Even now, it dips down and shall soon disappear. When that happens so too shall Oni Island and nobody has the power to find it in the wide ocean."
"That may be true, babe but listen," Issun said sadly. "It really doesn't matter because we can't break the barrier."
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Why do these demons have to be so paranoid? Amaterasu asked as a joke.
"I mean, the Water Dragon was our last hope and it's dead now." Issun finished.
"The Water Dragon isn't dead in the true sense of the word. I can harness its power with the Dragon Orb you got back for me." Otohime explained and then she got the Dragon Orb out. She then started to glow white, flew up into the air and when the glow receded a massive creature was looking down at Amaterasu.
Whoa now I have seen everything! Amaterasu barked and Otohime attacked the barrier blocking the way to Oni Island. Hope you don't mind me walking on your back to get to the island. Amaterasu walked on Otohime's back and nearly reached the island when Issun decided to ruin her stride."Hey, furball. Himiko's probably still watching over us so…promise me you won't give up for some stupid reason like you're hungry or have to go to the bathroom."
Issun I'm not the one that makes up excuses to back out. If I do find an excuse is that I left my weapons at Watchers Cape a good enough reason? Amaterasu asked.
"You what!?"
Only joking Issun! Amaterasu laughed and ran off towards Oni Island's castle/ fortress thing.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
"Hm? Excuse me, good sir but might I ask what you are doing here?" Amaterasu hadn't gone far when she was spotted by what looked like a flying scrap of paper.
"Huh? Did this scrap of paper just say something?" Issun asked.
I heard it too! Talking scraps of paper is another thing to add to my seen-it-all list. Amaterasu said.
"Scrap of paper? Don't dishonour me with such an unflattering name. My name is Toby."
Didn't know evil would talk in that way but I know that evil beings are proud of themselves. Amaterasu said.
"It's my job to keep suspicious people out. I have not seen you around here before, good sir. Might I ask who you are?"
"You talking to my furry friend?" Issun said for Amaterasu. "This here is full-throttle Ammy and we gotta get to the top of this tower ASAP. Sorry no time to shoot the breeze with ya."
"I'm afraid I cannot allow that. Did you not hear me? I am the gatekeeper of Oni Island and it is my job to keep suspicious people out. So you go by the name of full-throttle Ammy do you? I find myself as a fine racer too." Toby said and explained how to get to Oni Island. Win a race against him with different obstacles in the way.
Sounds easy and I think it is high time I raced against demons instead of fighting them all the time. Plus it isn't very nice to refuse a challenge. Amaterasu said and begun her long trek through the tower.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
Amaterasu had almost reached the end where she will race Toby one last time when suddenly…
"Gaha! I am Blockhead! I guard this area so that all shall pass! Er…wait…make that none shall pass!" You guessed it; a blockhead was blocking the way.
Again!? You guys are so annoying! All you do is block the way and tell me to get your weak points so I can pass! What kind of life is that!? Amaterasu barked.
"Oh you again." Issun said not much bothered. "Why are you so persistent?"
"What are you talking about?" Blockhead said. "Now where was I? Ah yes…you are that terrible assassin who has been slaying my brethren…The White Demon of Death!"
Ok…guess that's another nickname to add to my list. So far there is Ma chérie, furball, Ammy, Fiddo, Shiranui but I haven't heard that in ages, mutt and fair maiden which was from a ghost and, of course, Waka.
"That half-baked prophet called you that?" Issun asked.
He's not all bad. Sure he likes to mess with your head but he has been through hell.
"Oh and getting forced to paint until your arms feel like their gonna drop off isn't hell?"
Actually I quite enjoy art if you didn't notice and it does do you good in the future.
"Ahem!" Blockhead interrupted the argument (what a shame) "I foresaw your coming, White Demon of Death and I have prepared myself for this day where I shall stand up against you."
Let's just get this over with. Eventually Amaterasu defeated both Blockhead and Toby's (literally) final race and now fought against Ninetails who came flying out of the constellation she hid behind.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
Waka had seen everything now. He saw Oni Island disintegrate into flowers, a giant Water Dragon swim deep down back to the Dragon Palace and saw a cloud of evil blackness swirl into the air and headed for Kamui. Kamui was going to be in serious trouble soon since it is the northernmost part of Nippon and suffers badly as it is but with evil heading that way and the Ark of Yamato still stuck in ice…
Then Waka saw the person he was waiting for, looking unusually tired too. Amaterasu really must've had a hard time over on Oni Island, as she looked like she had been thrown about a bit. Waka decided to just 'appear' right in front of them as usual and get down to business.
"Bonjour, Amaterasu!" He said with a grin on his face. "Been on a little fox hunt over on Oni Island have you?"
The fox wasn't little at all; didn't you see how many tails she had? Amaterasu asked but didn't expect an answer, which was just as well she didn't get one.
"By the looks of it, I'd say you had a rather rough time. Was that wily fox really so formidable?" Waka then laughed at his own joke.
"Why you…!?" Issun was really in a bad mood. "How can you say that!? Himiko's dead, you heartless swine!" Waka was shocked to hear this and that explained why he hadn't heard anything from her. He did know that Himiko was risking her life but to know that she was definitely dead is a different matter.
"Hm!? Oh, I see…well, I never expected to see you acting like such a little whelp."
I'm definitely not in the mood for all your crap about how you expected more from me and stuff so if you can get to the point.
"Well, Himiko was resigned to her fate. Even you knew that, did you not, Amaterasu?"
"What are you talking about!?" Issun interrupted Amaterasu before she could even open her mouth. "Anyway, you're the last person on earth we wanna see right now." Issun looked down at Amaterasu. "Well, the last person I want to see anyway. Now get outta my face, you two-bit prophet!"
"My my, what a fabulous mood you're in today. Your anger is enough to cloud the sky." In the distance a thundering sound can be heard and, if it were day, you would be able to see black clouds far away. "See, I told you."
"Show off." Issun muttered so Waka couldn't hear.
"That thunder is coming from north of Shinshu Field. It no doubt heralds the coming storm."
Damn, I hate storms and I just wanna go to sleep for once!"Well, ma chérie, I must bid you adieu. But first, let me leave you with this…A shocking zap and it opens! Phew…feels good to get that off my chest."
I wonder…how would you feel if you had to get something else off? Amaterasu thought and had an evil grin on her face and tried to hide it (kinky!)
"And while I'm at it, I'll just make a little mark on your map." He then makes a mark on the map despite Issun's protests.
"Hey, who said you could do that!?" He shouted.
Ow…my ears Issun and really don't complain, he's on a roll today. Issun just sulked even more by that.
"Did you not plan on going there anyway, ma chérie? You know…in the direction of the evil that sprung from the wily fox's body?"
"Ok, waddya up to this time, pretty boy?" Issun got suspicious about Waka but Waka just chuckled.
"Oh, it felt SO good to prophesise after such a long break."
Not as good as me roughing you up a bit. The biggest mistake Amaterasu did here was actually saying that out aloud (in wolf talk) and leaving Issun and Waka speechless. That was something totally unexpected to be heard from a goddess! After moments of silence, Waka shook his head and continued as normal (though he may be scarred for life after this!)
"Well, Amaterasu." He said normally. "Now you see me, now you don't! Au revoir!" He then disappeared to find the closest place to hide for a few hours. When Issun found his voice again he then spoke but not normally at all, more like shocked.
"Ammy, you…! I mean you just…!" Issun then sighed. "You have been hanging around me for too long, furball."
I've made a mess now haven't I? Amaterasu said shocked herself. I didn't mean to say that and I really wished I didn't!
"Don't say anything like that again! Especially in front of the half-baked prophet, you may scar him for life if you do!"
Never thought the so-called great Issun would tell somebody off for saying something like that.
"Hey, I'm not that bad." Amaterasu sighed and ran off to find the place known as 'the land of the extreme North' to go meet up with something unexpected.
Talk about fluff on the last part! It made me laugh thinking about it!
Toby was another bad guy I think deserved to live too but the Blockheads grr! They annoyed me so much trying to hit the right weak points in the right order! Blockhead Grande though grr! I felt like throwing the remote at the TV but I didn't.
Review please and I warn you now this isn't the end for dirty stuff, in fact it is still only the beginning! More fluff on the way!
