Campione (Late 2013)

Campione: Hime-Miko and God-Slayer?

Chapter 1: Two Campiones, One Island

Yuri Mariya had done something impossible, but done it she had. She had done the most ultimate act of power for a Human, She had slain a God. She hadn't done it for personal reasons or to make herself stronger, she'd done it to protect her sister. Lashing out with power she'd unknowingly acquired when Marquis Voban had used her to summon a Heretic God. Yuri had killed Zeus the Greek God of Lightning, and now she was a Campione.

Halfway around the world at the same time Godou Kusanagi had slain Verethragna and become a Campione as well. Japan was now hosting two Devil Kings, One which the History Compilation Committee (HCC) had (Some) control over and another that they had no control at all over.

One Week Later

Godou was waking slowly from his sleep, having finally come home to Japan. He was hoping to relax and forget about what had happened to him in Italy. Unfortunately for him there were two things preventing that. First, Erica Blandelli a knight of the Copper-Black Cross had followed him back claiming to be his lover. Second, Ever since he had come back he'd felt a strange presence that both worried him… and interested him. Godou didn't know what it was but he hoped he would find out.

Yuri was unsettled, after becoming a Campione the HCC had told her what it meant for her now. She was more saddened by the fact she would outlive all her friends than anything else. Also for the past day she'd been feeling a strange force in Japan. It terrified and invigorated her; it whispered to her and raged against her. Yuri felt as if there were ten different energies wrapped within this feeling. While she mulled over these feelings she was brushing her hair, when suddenly she heard a small crack and her comb lost a tooth. Yuri was worried about what this might foretell; she finished her preparations to go to school and was leaving her home in the shrine where she worked as a Miko when a voice called out to her.

"Mariya-sama, could I speak with you?" asks a well-dressed man.

Yuri nods "Yes, and you are…?"

"Amakasu Touma, I'm with the History Compilation Committee" He replies.

"Thank you, Touma-san. Now what were you wishing to talk to me about?" Yuri inquires

Amakasu nods and replies "I need to ask you something, lately have you been feeling a strange energy about?"

Yuri's eyes widen and she asks "Yes, I have. Do you know what it is?"

Amakasu nods again "Yes"

Yuri frowns "Well?"

Amakasu sighs "It appears to be the result of another Campione coming to or should I say back to Japan"

Yuri's mouth drops open, she quickly closes it and asks "Which Campione?"

Amakasu looks uncomfortable and finally says "It appears that at the same time you defeated Zeus, another Japanese citizen fought and defeated Verethragna. His name is Godou Kusanagi, while no other Campiones have ever mentioned this feeling of connection. We believe it to be due to the fact that at the exact same moment as far as we can tell you both became Campiones. Our theory is that when your souls travelled halfway to the Heavens that they connected in some way and you can sense each other's presence when in close proximity."

Yuri struggles to absorb all this information before she finally says "I'm not the only Campione of Japan, Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"

Amakasu sighs again "We don't know, but there is some minor thing we could use your help with"

Yuri looks up and queries "What is it?"

Amakasu smiles "You could help us by getting close to Godou Kusanagi and finding out what he is like"

Yuri sighs "How am I going to do that?"

Amakasu smirks "Easily, considering that he goes to your high-school"

Yuri once again is stunned into silence. Before finally asking "Is this fate or some cosmic joke?"

Amakasu just shrugs.

Netherworld.

Pandora giggles as she watches the interaction between Yuri and Amakasu. She too is curious about what is going on as there has never been two Campiones created at the exact same moment before. Pandora's eyes widen as she sees what the bond between Yuri and Godou allows. Then she smiles and waits.
