The White Wolf Returns [Soru]

[Firehead]

Carefully, you make your way siddling along the cliff face. Once or twice, your foot hits a snag, or your back hits a protrusion you didn't expect almost sending you sprawling into the water, but eventually, you make it to the other side none the worse for wear. Once there it's obvious where the wall is weak, and a simple explosion reveals another sapling like the other two just waiting for the power of bloom to restore Sakuya's power here and dispel the corruption.

[Soru]

Amaterasu lets out a breath once she managed to the other side as her nerves were a bit up but she tries to stand up straight and look confident as she looks around. She soon spots the weak wall and uses her brush technique to create a bomb to destroy the wall, revealing the small sapling behind it. With another brush technique she restores life to it and hopes that it clears out the corruption outside.

[Firehead]

You feel the power of nature suffuse the sapling before spreading out to cover the entire forest area. Just like before, it feels like the whole area is cleansed with only a weakened demonic presence remaining. Ready to begin exploring the area thoroughly for anything that might help you in battling the Orochi, you exit the cavern, but as you step back out to the area, you get the distinct impression that you're being observed.

[Soru]

Like before as the whole area is cleanses and life spreads out Ammy looks in awe at the life that sprouted around her. Now with the sapling restored to it's old strength she should have an easier time moving around the land. As she leaves the cave with the thoughts of exploring the area for anything useful she gets the feeling that she is being watched. Her eyes look around as she slowly walks, trying to see if she can spot her stalker.

[Firehead]

It doesn't take long to spot your admirer. The loud shrill call of a flute calls your gaze high into the trees where he stands. He flourishes as if to make sure he has your complete attention before speaking. "Hark, I have been summoned to defeat evil. Waka, god's gift to man, is here." He then leaps from up on the branches right onto the lake. Oddly enough, he simply floats the last few inches before standing right on the water as if it were solid. Issun gives the guy a confused look. "What is this guy's deal?"

[Soru]

Ammy looks upward as she hears the sound of a flute above and she spots a bit of a flamboyant man that seemed to want to draw her attention up to him. She tilts her head at him as he announces himself before he jumps down and gracefully lands on the water, standing on it as if it was a solid object. She sort of just blinks at him before Issun spoke up and she looks down at him. "Not sure... should we just ignore him?" She asked as she thinks about just leaving this Waka fellow before

[Firehead]

Before Issun can respond, he continues speaking. "Those crimson markings and Divine Instrument. You must be one who possesses some power." He flourishes his flute and it begins emitting some energy like a sword. "A shadowy figure took the sacred sword Tsukuyomi, fled into Kamiki Village, and sealed the entrance with a huge boulder. You wouldn't happen to know anything about those events, would you?"

[Soru]

Amaterasu blinks a bit in surprise when Waka mentioned her crimson markings and her Divine Instrument which mean he could actually see them unlike normal people. "You must posses some power as well if you can see those." She said to him as she puts a hand on her hip and then tilts her head when he asked about a sacred sword and Kamiki Village. "Not really, though the boulder is gone now. Not sure about any sword though. Why do you ask?" She asked him curiously.

[Firehead]

He winks as you respond. "Of course, I could hardly be considered god's gift if I couldn't see at least that much." He seems a little more grave about the boulder and sword. "That blade was the core of the seal on the Orochi. Without it, there was little in the way of his revival. Sadly, the boulder being removed means I can't know for certain that the shadowy figure is still in Kamiki." He flourishes his blade again giving you the distinct impression he wants to pick a fight. "We shall see what my blade, pillow talk, thinks of you."

[Soru]

Ammy was getting curious about this Wake person and why he seems to know so much about Orochi and what happened to cause the seal to become undone though the way he flourished himself and his blade made her just tilt her head. "Wait... you named your weapon... 'Pillow Talk?'" She asked as she tilts her head more. "Is that supposed to be a joke?" Was this flamboyant person trying to pick a fight with her?

[Firehead]

It seemed he really was choosing to pick a fight with you as he pulled another sword, this one made of metal rather than energy. Twirling a bit he jumps and rotates his body completely sideways before landing on his feet again. "Let's rock, baby!" With that as your only warning, he pulls the blade close to himself pointing it directly at you before charging forward at a rapid speed.

[Soru]

Amaterasu was given just a short warning before the strange person charges at her, and rather fast too. She quickly brings up her Divine Weapon and uses it as a shield. With a plan in mind she moved to meet his strike, using her Divine Weapon to deflect his parry his attack and knock him back a bit before slamming it against him. She didn't really want to hurt him too much since he didn't seem to be a demon but he was still attacking her meaning for right now he's an enemy.

[Firehead]

(14)Holding up your Divine Instrument, you manage to hold firm as the tip of his blade hits your weapon. Lifting it up, you manage to knock his sword out of the way leaving him completely open to striking him in the gut. You realize he is very light on his feet as he jumps back preventing you from giving him the full brunt of your swing, but he doesn't come off unharmed. "Well, well darling, you are tougher than you look." Grabbing the other blade, he throws it directly at you.

[Soru]

The moment she felt the blade against her Divine Instrument she braced herself and the pushed upward, sending his sword up and out of the way before she swings it at him. However he is quite nimble and is able to jump back before she could get a direct hit on him, bur it was still a hit. "Same could be said to you." She sees him throw his sword at her and she quickly dodges by rolling to the side and then charges at him again.

[Firehead]

Dodging the thrown sword, you charge at him as he holds up the magical blade in his other hand. (8)It takes a moment to notice the gleam in his eye and realize something is wrong, and you only barely manage to hear the sound of a blade coming up behind you. You're forced to stop your charge and dive to the side again taking a grazing cut to the shoulder as he catches the thrown blade tutting. "That's an attack that rarely works a second time. To have nearly avoided it is quite a feat."

[Soru]

As she charges at him she notices his calm demeanor and the gleam in his eye and she knew something was off. At the last moment she heard the sound of something from behind and quickly she rolls to the side, stopping her charge at the man and barely manages to get away with just a bit of fur being cut from her shoulder. "Then I guess you wasted it then." She growls a bit at him before charging at him again, her weapon at the ready to either block or strike.

[Firehead]

He chuckles as you rush up against him. "That just makes it more fun now that I have to get creative." (4)Charging in on him, he gets ready to swing one blade in an overhead strike before drawing the other blade up from his side knocking your Divine Retribution upward. "You should be more careful. The demonic presence is getting worse, and a body like yours is a prime target for them." To make his point, he reaches forward giving your left breast a firm squeeze.

[Soru]

To her surprise he manages to knock her Divine Retribution away from her and she expected an attack from his sword but instead he reaches forward and gropes one of her covered breasts. She blinks and blushing deeply before growling and swiftly swings her hand, claws out, to slap at his face. "L-Let go!" She shouts at him as she tries to slap at him. Right after her slap she tries to use her brush abilities, though something a bit different as she tries to simply paint a dot on his face to cover it in ink and blind him.

[Firehead]

(12)He just barely avoids your claws seeming to find the attempt to scratch him amusing as he twirls his way back from you getting some distance though that was precisely where you wanted him. "Better watch out. This little lady's got sharp claw.." He's cut off when you momentarily blind him leaving him to try and wipe the smeared ink off of his face. It mostly smudges though you can see that it will come off with time, so you'd better take adantage of the distraction while you can.

[Soru]

Ammy honestly didn't expect that to work at all but she wasn't going to let this opportunity slide as she brings her Divine Retribution to her. She quickly moves at him to cover the distance and sends her weapon forward to slam into his gut. However that was not her only attack as her weapon is going forward she keeps moving, getting in close and brings her leg back for a moment before kicking forward, aiming to bring to her foot up right between his legs.
