Aha! Got grounded AGAIN! URG! Anyway, wrote a few chapters for this while but I am still grounded. BOA, though! }:D
Parts escalate quickly and others not! Aha!
A pair of orange eyes peered from the thick bushes, searching for their prey. The clearing in front of the person was clear of the one they had been tracking, only the spirits of the Celestials that they were trying to figure out how to return remained. Their eyes grazed the clearing. No sign of the flashes of white that would signify what they were looking-
"AUGH!" The flash of white Elizabeth had been searching for flattened her, licking her face. "Ammy, AMMY!" She managed to say as she got the wolf off of her, who was followed by a smaller version of herself.
"... Hey, Chibi..." She sighed. She had been training on the Celestial Plain for a while but she always failed tracking the wolves. They just always pounced on her and made her unable to breathe. The goddess really did eat as much as she did in the game.
It had been four months since the chaos of the Ark of Yamato, and she was still a bit worried about Waka. Somehow he still had trouble talking.
You see, four months ago, Waka, Issun, and Amaterasu had arrived in Salem, Massachusetts accidentally on the Ark of Yamato. Everyone there, except for Elizabeth and her mom, had fallen under a spell Discord, a demon, and Waru, the leader of the Moon Tribe, had cast. They tried to kill them, but they ended up defeating Waru and Discord... But not before Waka was silenced and his daughter, Kasai, arrived to help. Waru, turns out, was Waka's older brother...
And he had gotten away, the spell lifted. Elizabeth and her mom had gone with the Ōkami crew to live with them, but Elizabeth STILL had to do schoolwork. UGH!
However, it was always worth it, though a question still rang in her mind.
If Kasai hadn't been on the Ark with Waka, then how did she arrive on Earth?
Four months they had kept it a secret. Oki knew that the villagers would find out soon. He padded along as a wolf with Kai to one of the caves outside of Wep'keer.
She had her ears perked and was glancing behind her every few seconds it seemed to make sure no one was following...
Well, she was mainly looking for the usual flash of red, orange, and yellow.
Several times since Kasai had returned from being missing had she followed Oki and Kai, almost finding their secret. Kasai hadn't even told the villagers where she had gone, just that she went on a trip.
Typical Kasai.
But the Oina was nowhere to be found as they turned towards Yoshpet. Oki looked to the cave where their secret hid to their left. There was a hole that went to a cave where the snow never reached and some sort of magic made you come up when you stepped into a light, though an eerie feeling was present in the cave. Spider webs were all over the place and water poured out everywhere. However, four months had passed and their secret was safe.
They went into the cave to meet Tenshi, the Celestial.
Kasai lay in bed, a cold sweat on her forehead. Her makeshift house groaned as it always did when it snowed too much, but she had made sure that it would not fall. She had built it in the field where the kids would always play in the snow and where Amaterasu had made the giant snowballs.
She didn't want to get up. Not after that dream.
It had been haunting her for a long time, watching the two kinds getting slaughtered... Her being able to do nothing about it...
And she had kept the blood of her own secret, sharing it with only Issun, Amaterasu, Elizabeth... And Waka already knew...
But she got out of bed, despite herself being shaken up. There were other things to do.
She needed to get to her one connection to the Moon Tribe, but not her dad...
She pulled on her clothes and hesitated with the mask. She hated that thing, keeping her breath contained and keeping her hidden. She grabbed it and put it in her bag.
She opened the door, turned into a beast, and ran through the village, heading for Yoshpet.
