A/N: And ummm...another chappie!
Disclaimer: I do not own Okami, the wonderful Capcom does.
Yumi POV:
When we feel (we as in Ammy and I) our powers depleted we panic. Well Issun does.
"Guys, what do we do?" Issun says. I roll my eyes.
"This way!" I say. I quickly run up the hill on the steps, curve when I reach the turn on the wood platform. I twist and turn until I reach a young woman, in red and white robes. We approach her.
"Oh, this is the most unfortunate. I have been possessed in a momentary lapse of vigilance. I was trying so hard to defend this village. Now it shall be reduced to a horrid cursed zone. Alas my strength, it wanes. All is lost." The woman says. Then the scene changes to battle mode. Ammy focuses on one imp while I another. Ammy quickly hers her imp or I
assume she does. However, I have difficulty killing mine. I attack it, it dodges. Unfortunately, my ink dies and I go into regular wolf mode. Finally, I kill the imp and the scene goes back to the village, except withe village is not as bleak. The young woman speaks again.
"Hm! Have I been freed from the evil curse? You have saved my wolves but I do not know how." Them Issun speaks,
"What the heck happened sweetness?" Issun says slyly. I eat him then spit him out. The woman speaks again.
"Oh... Are any of you familiar with my family, the Satomi House? No... I can see now that none of you are. Still, you four may be of great service to me yet. Will you not listen to what I have to say?" Issun being the pervert he is says something.
"You just keep talkin' pretty lady. Issun's listening!" I again, eat him then spit him out.
"Oh, thank you! I am Princess Fuse, priestess of the Gale Shrine."" Fuse says. Waka nods. I get the drift.
"Fuse. Will you see what me and my friend Ammy have to show you?" I ask, which coming from a wolf scared her. Fuse cautiously nods. I nod to Ammy. We quickly transform. Fuse's eye widen. She can clearly see our markings now.
"So, who are you?" Fuse asks.
"My name is Yumi. And this is the goddess, Amaterasu. Believe it or not Ammy is what she is." I say proudly.
"The Gale Shrine stands atop Mount Kamiji. Kazegami, the god of wind, is enshrined there. The wind blowing down from there keeps the monsters away. Known as the Divine Wind, it is venerated as our protector. However, it suddenly stopped blowing one day. And that has allowed the monsters to sneak into our village. Even I, the last remaining priestess here, was nearly slain. That horrible monster is behind all of this! Will you hear the rest of my story then? You may be able to help me. There is only one explanation for why the Divine Wind stopped. It is that horrible monster, Crimson Helm! The beast now dwells within the Gale Shrine. The monsters in this area have all been under Crimson Helm's control ever since he appeared in Taka Pass 100 years ago. My people, the Satomi House, keepers of the Gale Shrine, have been battling the beast and his minions ever since... But last year, the fiends attacked and killed the head priest while he was weakened by sickness, and the Gale Shrine fell into their hands." Fuse says grimly.
"I remember hearing that story. It was big news in these parts." Issun says.
"If only I could vanquish Crimson Helm and free the Gale Shrine... But I am no match for the evil barrier that now bars entry. There is only one hope now. Only the warriors who serve the Satomi House can right this wrong!Our last remaining hope for defeating Crimson Helm is... the Satomi Canine Warriors! The Satomi Canine Warriors have protected the shrine and served the Satomi House for ages, but alas... They are now scattered throughout Nippon. If we could bring them together again, they could break the barrier and retake the shrine." Fuse says.
"Really! Then why don't ya just summon those puppies on back?" Issun replies.
"I have already tried... But I have yet to receive any word of their coming. I sense their presence nearby, but have yet to find them. What if they were attacked and injured, or even worse... I beg you, would you please find out their whereabouts? You might find this useful..." Fuse then gives a small badge like thing I recognize as The Canine Tracker. I nod. We then all walk off back to the center of the village where the empty well is.
"Alright, let's follow this thing." I say. The Tracker then goes to where the stares are. We follow it and see a Konohana Blossom. Ammy goes first and uses vine. She then steps off the flower and onto the wooden structure. I do the same then Waka flies to where we are. We walk around the structure until we come to a wall. I turn back into my wolf form and Ammy does the same. We climb up to the crevice and Cherry Bomb it. We then follow the tunnel and come to a large cave with a dog in it.
"What's a dog doing here? Hm? I think he's trying to say something! Let me listen carefully. I can understand some animals... " Yeah okay Issun
"It's wagging its tail! Bet it's that Canine Tracker you got there! Hm? What's that?" Issun says.
"Give me some food, I'm hungry." The dog mumbles.
"Sheesh... We just met and it's begging for food! What terrible manners!" Then we feed the dog some meat and it speaks again.
"I am full... My master, Princess Fuse, has summoned me. However, I didn't want to go straight home." The dog says.
