Chapter 4: Rain
The string of blood dripped down Ataki's armed, Amaterasu looked over to spot a Girl with a few others that appear to be Demons "Who, are you?!" she growled
the girl smirked "My name, is something written from a book y'see?" she twirled around as the rest marched towards them carrying swords
"My name, is Lianati" she giggled quite evilly covering her mouth when she stopped
"Now.. I do believe that your the faithful sun goddess Amaterasu, is I wrong?"
Ataki weakly got up to his feet glaring at the approaching enemies, Amaterasu stepped forward in front of him snarling with her teeth showing "Leave at once, your lives maybe spared"
"Oh goody me....I don't think so" she taunted hysterically shuffling her fingers on the tip of a knife she grasps on her right hand "I'll deal with the girl, the rest of you.. rid of the boy" they all nodded then ran directly at Ataki and Lianati kicked Ammy sending her further away from Ataki grabbing her Knife she quickly slashed at Ammy's head but missed, instead she slashed her hair by her left cheek.
"This girl, she's not human!" Amaterasu thought to herself
"I was born from the Lynx tribe.. my father was a dog. Although I hated dogs!"
"You killed your own father?!"
"Not KILL or else yes... he was a complete annoyance.. long story, he ditched me to those feline thugs of his.. so I made plans to get rid of him.." the girl pulled out her left arm immediately lunging her hand on Ammy's right cheek, now it was her turn Ammy with her quick thinking spun around swaying her right leg with a direct hit to Lianati's side rib, with so much force put into it made her fly to a tree breaking it.
Ataki dealing with the demon monster's jumped high into the air before two of them would attack him morphing into his wolf transformation dropping down slamming a Oni's head into the ground as blood splattered 7inches away making a hole baring his fangs at the others in a moment of silence one of them took their chances charging at Ataki holding its axe high in the air then Ataki opened his mouth plunging at the incoming enemy.
Mean while Amaterasu fought Lianati, Realizing she had the Tsukiomi she quickly pulled it out smiting her foe but Lianati was swift unsheathing her sword from the back, the sound of metal clashing against each other making a sound of a ringing bell that could be loud enough to make your ears ring. Ammy perked her ears back from the sound, Lianati quickly had the opportunity taking out what looked like a dagger, but it wasn't no ordinary dagger, the dagger had poison that was swiped from a Frog in which usually native's would use when they go hunting.
She jabbed it directly at Ammy's neck but from her quick thinking she dodged the blow but fractionally hit her shoulder.. she soon fell down on the ground, Ataki finished the last remaining of the monster's as the rest scurried away he took his attention at Ammy, no sign of movement "Ammy!" he cried racing to her he slowly lifted her up, coughing out a little bit of blood, she was in great pain "Ataki.. she ran away-" she said angrily gripping her left hand. but only question remains, What purpose was it that Lianati attempted to kill Amaterasu and not capture her.
The following evening, snow began to fall mysteriously, inside the medical clinic.
"Doctor, how is she?" Ataki asked nervously
"She's exhausted from coughing, the poison is making her fever worse" he said fearing that he might not have the right material to help her.
"I'm out of antitoxin, and medical herbs.." he's right, recently in this Isolated town there were only numerous counts of people getting sick mostly roads were cut off by land-falls.
"Alright" he decided grabbing his sword from the wall of the door frame, that he will go look for medicine
"I'll go find this so called 'Herbs'" he said
"It's too dangerous Ataki!" the doctor argued, but Ataki payed no attention and left.
Rain drops slowly fell from the over cast sky, Ataki moved through the swamp like forest in search of the herbs he's looking for, regardless the pain he endures from the fight he'd just ran into. Back to where Ammy is, her fevers getting worse and worse, coughing slightly she mutters "A-..taki"
Ataki comes across a raging river, he looks for an easier way to get across it, spotting a near by makeshift bridge which looked as if it were completely rotted over from erosion, he carefully examines the condition, it seems its in good shape, let's give it a shot shall we?
He carefully walks across the creaking platform as it shifted from side to side from the strong water but Ataki kept good balance and made it across, suddenly he hears strange sounds coming from within the bushes, he unsheathes his sword ready for what might happen "Show yourself!" he shouted.
"Wait!..I'm not a monster, please don't hurt me" a voice gagged, suddenly revealing itself; a little fox.
Seeing it won't be harmful Ataki lowers his blade to the ground as the little creature approached him, "are you..alone? wolf?" it asked, "How do you know I'm a wolf?" Ataki questioned.
"Oh, oh I see, well I can see through the human soul's and I can see them clearly" he chuckled
oh Buddha, don't give me any idea's please..
"Follow me!" he said, "I have something to show you!" he quickly runs off deeper into the woods as Ataki follows him, dodging branches, etc etc.
it was only about a few minutes then he made it to a pond, which appears to be a sanctuary.
"Welcome to Angel Sanctuary my friend!" the fox introduced.
" 'Angel Sanctuary'?" Ataki questioned.
"Yes, it's where all living things come to, to abolish the evil of which lurks upon their soul.."
"That sounds kind of cheesy.."
"Don't push Fido..." the fox smirked.
Story still on the go
