A/N- Thanks for the review, Godess-of-Weirdos.
Disclaimer- This stupid disclaimer sucks.
"Oh, be quiet." The girl said in annoyance.
"Why should I be?! I'm talking to--what the freaking crap?!" I exclaimed upon noticing something.
This girl, whoever, she was, had wolf ears. I'm serious! They were little wolf ears on the top of her freaking head! As I took a closer look, she had a wolf tail, too. I have never ever seen anyone with friggen wolf ears or a friggen wolf tail!
"What the freak is going on around here?!" I shouted, pulling at my hair.
"If you would shut up for a second, I could tell you!" I didn't really listen to her.
"Where is this place?! I want to go home! This sucks! What's going on around here?! Have I finally gone insane?! I think I actually might h-"
"Shut up, you dork!" The girl shouted in my face. "If you can do that, maybe I can tell you what the freaking heck is going on if you shut the heck up, dork wad! I am so sick of your whining, so just shut up so I can explain what's going on! Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!"
I shut up.
"All right..." The girl sighed, seeming to calm down. "First of all, my name is Larka and I'm the Goddess of the Moon."
I stared blankly at her.
"My mother is the Sun Goddess Amaterasu," She continued. "My father is... well... it's hard to explain. Oh, sit down, this is bound to be a long story."
"This is stupid..." I muttered, sitting down.
"Shut up!" Larka quickly got control of herself again. "Anyway, about fifty years ago, my mother defeated an evil creature that was called Yami. After that, she left to go to the Celestial Plains. A few things surprised her, though..."
"However..." She gave a little cough, cheeks turning slightly red. "She and a man named Waka... my father... well, she got a little surprise. Me."
"Ah." I said stupidly.
"About three and a half years ago, some things happened, and some demons got loose into the human world from the demon world. My mother was certain that the God of Time would help us, and she seems to be fairly convinced that you're him."
"Wha?" I said, feeling as blank and not understanding as before.
"You're a GOD, stupid!" Larka shouted in my face.
"Wha?" I repeated. "No I'm not..."
"Non!" She continued to shout. "Stupide!"
"Do you speak French?" I'm still blank.
"Oui."
"Please speak Japanese. I don't know very much French."
"Non."
"Fine, will you just continue, then?"
"Oui." She answered. "Now, I also have to tell you that you're in the past about two-thousand-years or so."
"Huh?"
"You're in the past." Larka repeated. Everything finally clicked.
"Wait, what!? I'm in the past?! You think I'm a friggen GOD?! This is insanity! Can I just go home and pretend this never happened?!"
"If you want the world to be destroyed. Otherwise, sure, be my guest." She shrugged.
"What do you mean?" I asked, frowning.
"Demons." She said flatly. "If you don't save your past, Jin, then you won't be able to save your future."
"All right. Let's pretend I accept all of this," I said causiously. "What would I have to do?"
"First of all, find the priestess who is so pure that she can destroy demons with a simple touch of her finger." Larka said flatly. "Next, you and her must go around all of Nippon, searching for the Demon King. Once you find him, you must banish him to his Dark Lair, sealing him there forever."
"Wow, as if going through peuberty wasn't hard enough, ya gotta put all this on my shoulders." I muttered.
"I don't feel too bad," she answered. I rolled my eyes, pouting slightly. Larka folded her arms, snorting slightly before continuing.
"Now, another thing. I'm going to have to teach you how to defend yourself. I'll teach you martial arts and how to use a sword. Then you shall be ready for any fight that you might come to. Most importantly, I think, will be the martial arts."
"Ya know, I never was interested in karate." I mused.
"Hi, Larka." A boy murmured.
"Gah!" I shouted. "Where the heck did you come from?!"
"Hel-"
"This is Dravis." Larka quickly interrupted. "He's a demon, but a good one... sort of... but he's got a dirty mouth."
I examined him. His hair was slightly long and covered half of his face. He wore all black, had black hair, and I had a good guess that he was an emo. Especially because he had absolutely no expression upon his face. His arms were folded.
"You're short." I noted.
He hit me on the back of the head, then flipped me off.
"What the heck?!" I growled. "I can see why you two are friends!"
Larka hit me on the back of my head. "Yeah, yeah. Shut up, you dork. And we aren't friends, he's my boyfriend!"
"That explains even more!" I exclaimed.
"So this is the God of Time, huh? For some reason, I really don't believe it." Dravis muttered, leaning his weight over to his left side.
"Yeah, I didn't think so, either." Larka shrugged. "I always thought that the God of Time would be more... well, less wimpy, I suppose."
"I'm right here, ya know!" I shouted.
"Sure, sure." Larka waved me off. "Now, Dravis, I gotta teach this dork how to beat other people's butts."
"Okay." He shrugged. "I'll just sit here and-"
"Dravis!" Another person came... but I suppose he wasn't really a person. He was a wolf.
"Oh great." Sarcasm dripped off his voice. "You found me, Uncle Rosco."
The wolf was surrounded by a curious, brown light and I gave a little yelp as the light faded away. Where the wolf had been standing before, there was a man now.
The man, Rosco, had brownish, shaggy hair and bright blue eyes. He had about ten earrings in his ears total, and a large meadallion around his neck that had a ruby in the middle of it. All in all, he was rather handsome. N-not that I'm gay or anything! It's just... oh, never mind!
"I'm so happy that I found you, little Dravis! Everyone's been so scared back at home!" He pouted, hugging the teen tightly.
"Leggo, idiot." Dravis hit the man on the back of the head.
"Ow! Dravy!" Rosco whined. "That hurted! C'mon, we gots to get home!"
"Why?" Dravis asked flatly.
"Because! Everyone missed you! Oh, and hi Larka, hi kid-that-hi-don't-know!" Rosco gave a little wave, grinning broadly.
Okay, so I might not be gay, but I think this guy just might be. Either that, or he's just a freak of nature. I don't mind homos, but it makes me feel a bit odd when I'm around them. Especially when I'm around guys.
"All right, just get off me, you idiot." Dravis growled. "See ya later, Larka."
"Oh, um, see ya later, Drav." Larka said, sounding slightly confused.
"Good bye, emo-short-person." I said, frowning slightly. For some reason, I did not like this person. He was just dang annoying for some freaking reason.
"Don't be mean to Dravis, you big dork!" Larka growled, punching me in the arm.
"Ow!" I cried.
"So, as I was saying-" She began, but the moment that she began, I fell over, having fainted.
I opened my eyes and blinked. Well, I certainly wasn't with Larka anymore, and nor was I at home. It appeared to be some sort of glade... I was surrounded by trees, and I lay upon green grass. Just in front of my toes, there was a small, peaceful pond.
I sat up and glanced around. There was that woman... Amaterasu. She was sitting upon a rock, just looking beautiful. She seemed to finally notice me.
"Ah." She said softly. "Jin."
"Amaterasu." I answered, using the same soft tone she had.
"Welcome... Jin. I have chosen to speak to you concerning... some things. Such as your past. Who you truly are."
"I know who I am." I answered, frustrated by everything that was going on. "I'm Jin Sakurada. That's who I am. I'm not the God of Time. I'm not some person who's gonna save the world. I'm just a fifteen-year-old Japanese boy who wants to live out a normal life."
"I know all this is difficult for you to accept, Jin, but you must." She walked over to me and gently touched my shoulder. "Allow me to show you what we chose all those years ago, when you were wondering what the purpose of your life was."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Many years ago," she began, "You were a great and powerful god. A friend of mine. You were the Master of Time, and because of this, you could do almost anything you wanted. You went from the beginning of time to the very end. You loved it very much. However..."
Amaterasu hesitated for a moment, then continued. "However, it wasn't enough. You wanted to have a true purpose as a being. You wished to be... not powerful for a time. So you begged me to make you a regular human for a time. You sent yourself to a time of peace and mae yourself into a child. You destroyed all of your memories."
"Wow." I said blankly after a moment. "That's not a story you hear every day."
Her face turned slightly pink. "There is one more thing, though. When you were still in your most powerful state,you... how should I put this... fell in love?"
My face turned bright red. "L-l-l-l-love?! Me?!"
"Yes," she murmured, "A very beautiful girl, she was."
I gave a little sigh of relief at this. "Well, at least I wasn't gay."
"This girl," she continued, "is in trouble currently You must save her. She will be a great key to your defeating of the Demon King."
"How nice." I said, feeling a little weird.
"Tell my daughter what I have told you." Amaterasu said softly. "Now, awaken, God of Time."
"Wait-" I began. Whoops, too late. I'm sort-of waking up...
I sat up, my eyes wide. What the freaking crap?! I had been having some messed up dreams lately.
"Oh, good, you're awake." Larka said, barely even glancing at me.
"Amaterasu..." I said blankly, staring at Larka.
"What?" She demanded.
"You... two have the same nose." I answered.
Larka stared back at me. "Wha?"
"Hey, when can we start saving the world so I can go home?" I asked, changing the subject.
"Oh." She said, sounding more confused than ever. "Do you believe that you're the God of Time, then?"
I laughed. "Are you kidding me?! Heck no! I just want to do this stupid thing already so that I might be able to go home. So, where do we go first?"
"Uh..." Was her answer.
This place used to be a beautiful forest." Larka murmured, peeking over the large rock we were hiding behind. "Now look at it."
From where we peeked over the rock, I was in shock. There were disguisting creatures everywhere. There was only one house, and many of the demon-things were standing around it, drinking sake. A few were beating each other up. The ground was brown and the entire area was desolate.
"Sick." I agreed. "Can I not save the world and just go home instead?"
"Non." She answered.
"Crap." Was all I mumbled. "Fine... what's the battle plan, then?"
"Freeze time like you did on the soccer field yesterday." She murmured. "That way, I can go in, save the human kids, and beat it."
"Really? It was yesterday? Huh. It feels like a lot longer. Oh, and by the way... how in the freaking heck do I freeze time?!"
"Shh, you dork!" Larka hissed. "You're so lucky that all of those demons are half-drunk!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" I mumbled. "Just tell me how!"
Larka punched me. "Ow!" I shouted. The demons heard me. Crap.
"You dork!" Larka shouted in my face.
"This is your fault!" I answered, shouting back.
"My fault?!" She screeched. "You're the one that was being a freaking jerk, you dork-wad!"
"Whatever-" I began, but a large sword crashing between out noses. I gave a little squeak and took a step back, eyes wide.
"That nearly cut off my nose!" I managed.
"Shut up and get out of the way!" Larka shouted, pushing me back. I blinked in shock as she closed her eyes. She lit up until I could no longer see her. When I could, she was... different.
Larka had transformed into a large wolf. She was white with a whole bunch of tattoos and designs on her. For the first time, I noticed that she had some earrings in her wolf ears. She gave me a little grin upon noticing my shock. However, as soon as it came, it disappeared.
She jumped upon the closest demon to her, ripping at its neck with her powerful jaws. The demon gave a glass-shattering shriek as the flesh and blood spattered everywhere. It clawed blindly at the sky, before finally falling down, dead. Larka jumped off it, landing lightly next to me.
"Remind me not to get you pissed." I said in disgust, watching blood drip off her muzzle. She gave me another wolfish grin.
"Bonjour!" Someone exclaimed. "Larka!"
A man jumped down from who knows where and my jaw dropped. I tried my best to stiffle a laugh the moment I saw his clothes. They looked like clown clothes with large buttons, a pink shirt... another odd thing was that he looked a heck of a lot like Larka.
"Who the heck are you?" I asked blankly.
"Bonjour, petite." The man said, giving a quick bow. "My name is Waka."
"Did he just call me small?" I asked no one blankly. "And... Waka? His name is... Waka?"
"Oui." He answered, taking out a sword. "And I believe that those demons are going to kill you and my daughter if I do not help."
"This guy is Larka's dad?!" I was even more stunned. Larka's dad was a dork?! I had expected someone... toucher, I suppose? Maybe more muscular. But this guy... well... he was such a dork. I supposed that this was where Larka got the term 'dork.'
Larka growled something at me and tossed her head in the direction of the house. I took that to mean I was supposed to save whoever happened to be in there. Great. Lovely. Wonderful. I needed to speak my mind.
"Wonderful..." I murmured, running through the creatures to the house.
A demon stepped in front of me and I quickly put the brakes on. It was huge and black. It was also a wolf with giant wings. Foam fell from its yellow fangs and its eyes were blood red. It's claws dug into the dirt eagerly, as though pretending that the dirt was my flesh.
"Oh, snap." I said, my jaw dropping.
The wolf-demon-bird laughed at me. "Prepare to die, weak mortal!" It growled, then leapt at me.
"Stop!" I exclaimed, closing my eyes and shielding my face with my arms, preparing for intense pain. However, none came.
I slowly opened one eyes. The wolf-demon-bird-thing was frozen just inches in front of my face. I looked around slowly and sighed slowly. Every other person or demon or wolf was frozen besides me. I stepped around the demon-thing and examined Larka, who was just a few feet away. I poked her wondering what would happen.
She finished what she was doing, which happened to be swiping at the demon in front of her, then looked about in confusion. UPon seeing me, she grinned her wolfish grin and nodded toward the frozen Waka. I nodded as well and walked over to him.
I poked the frozen man who finished taking a live at a couple of demons, then finally noticed that they hadn't reacted. He glanced at me, and his eyes widened. (A/N- Does Waka even have any eyes??)
"Can you possibly be the God of Time?" He asked, eyes still wide.
"No!" I snapped. "Now just go and kill these freaking demons so that I can go home!"
"Oui, petite," Waka murmured, respect as thick as his French accent.
"I'm not little!" I snapped again, then turned around to the house and stormed inside. My jaw dropped.
There were three people inside, all fourteen or under, but I paid attention to only one. It was the girl in the middle who appeared to be fourteen, perhaps a bit younger or maybe bit older.
Well... she was hot! Her hair was long, black and went down to her waist. Her eyes were large and golden colored with thick eyelashes. She was wearing traditional Japanese clothing that was red and only went down to her knees. She had a big chest for someone her age, too...
Whoa, whoa... get those thoughts outta my mind. I'd best just touch those kids and get the heck out of here, not thinking of that hot-
Freak! I'm doing it again! I quickly walked over to them and poked each of them. They all blinked. Crap. How was I supposed to explain this...?
"God of Time." The eldest girl murmured, bowing her head.
"I'm not the friggen God of Time!" I hissed. "Now, c'mon, we're getting you out of here!"
"Oui." Waka murmured.
"Whoa!" I nearly shouted. "Where the heck did you come from?!"
"The sky." He answered and picked up the youngest of the children, who appeared to be about five or six. "Now, hurry up. I don't like the smell of demons."
I helped the two girls up. "Oh, and by the way, my name is Jin Sakurada."
The older girl nodded. "I'm Yuuki and this is Aoi. Nice to meet you."
Oh great. Her voice was as amazing as her body was. Crap! Stupid perverted thoughts!
"Uh..." Was all I said, feeling my face begin to grow bright red.
Larka was standing outside, wiping the red blood from her lips. She was human again, as it appeared. She grinned that same wolfish grin that she had before, then licked the blood that was dripping down her chin. I winced.
"Hey, who's that chi-" Larka began, but Yuuki cut her off.
"Hello, Moon Goddess." She murmured, giving a little bow. Larka snorted a laugh.
"Dork."
The girl's eyes narrowed and she frowned. "Excuse me?"
"You're a dork." Larka said in a matter-of-fact tone. Waka sighed.
"Can we leave, then be rude to one another?" He asked.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Larka flipped her hair at him. Waka rolled his eyes and Yuuki narrowed her eyes again, glaring a the Moon Goddess.
I had a bad feeling about this.
"Hey, stop staring at that dork, other dork!" Larka shouted in my face.
I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. "I wasn't staring at her."
"Yeah, yeah!" She snorted. "Make time start again."
"That sounds so weird!" I muttered. "And also, I don't even know how to use my freaking powers let alone believe in them."
"Blah blah blah!" Larka said snottily. "Just say start or something!"
"Someone's a bit cranky..." Waka murmured, leaning against a tree and putting the small child down now that they were at least three-hundred-yards or so away from the place where all the demons were still frozen.
"What-" She began, but I cut her off.
"Okay, whatever! Time start!" I totally didn't believe it would work. After all, what were the chances that I was a god? I blinked as a breeze touched my cheek. And then... the terrible screeching of the mutilated and dying demons. I winced.
"It worked..." I whispered. "No way..."
"I'm tired!" Larka shouted. "So shut up, you dork!"
I had learned by this point that it was better to just agree and do whatever she wanted. So, I sat down and leaned against a tree. Yuuki sat down next to me.
"Um..." She said softly. and her hand was close to my own. "Jin... right?"
"Um... yeah..." I mumbled, feeling my face turn red. Crap! Why did she have to be so freaking hot?!
"Get those dirty thougts out of your mind," Waka said, "Jin." Larka snorted a laugh.
"Shut up!" I growled, feeling my face turn even redder.
"I just wanted to let you know..." Yuuki continued, as though she had not heard them. "That I don't want you to be more than a friend, and if you try to do anything to me, I'll use my priestess powers to kick your butt all the way to the west side of the world."
I felt my face, if possible, turn even redder. It wasn't my fault that I had sick thoughts! I tried to control it, but... stupid freaking hormones!
"I'm not gonna do anything..." I mumbled.
"You better not." Yuuki snorted. "I hate it when boys are perverted! So back off, buddy!"
Something clicked.
"Wait, you're a priestess!" I exclaimed.
"Duh!" She said, rolling her eyes. "What else would I be? Some whiney, wimpy, innocent girl?!"
"Um..." I said, shocked. Yuuki was the priestess?! She could destroy a demon with a single touch?! This was... gah! Why did I have to get mixed up with so much crap!?
"Shut up, you two dorks!" Larka snapped. "I'm trying to get some freaking sleep!"
"Who does she think she is?" Yuuki hissed under her breath.
"A goddess." I answered.
"I said shut up and let me go to sleep!"
The Demon King stroked his chin, glancing around at his large, black throne room. The demons that were guarding him stood close to him, grinding their teeth and awaiting a fight that was not to come. Not yet, anyhow.
"I'm going to the human world again." The Demon King announced softly. His guards grunted, unsurprised.
"While I am there, I think that I'm going to pick up and old, dear friend." His guards seemed slightly surprised now and they gave him some questioning looks. After all, who would be in the human world that the Demon King could use? So he smiled.
"I'm certain that you remember my dear friend, Riku. I showed you him in a dream, yes?" The guards nodded.
"That demon-human?" One of them said, struggling to remember the far-off memory.
"Yes." The Demon King murmured. "Years and years ago, before he offered to spy on the God of Time, he was my best friend and general. Once he is back, I will finally be able to have my full powers being that he took some of them to protect himself from anyone realizing what he truly was."
"But... my Lord..." One of the guards said, struggling with the idea. "What will happen to the current general?"
"He will die." The Demon King said flatly. "I fare him well."
The guards nodded, looking slightly solemn. He flicked his fingers towards the door, indicating that they should go to see the general at that moment. They nodded and left.
The Demon King smirked as he opened the portal to the human world. There was no point for the God of Time to hide any longer. After all, if Riku didn't kill him first, the Demon King would do it himself, no matter what it took.
Jin Sakurada would die.
A/N- Please, R&R! No flames! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
