The morning sun had risen above the tree tops casting its rays of radiant golden bands across the azure sky where the clouds had dispersed leaving no trace of foul weather. The crisp air from the North blew heavily in disgruntling gusts, shaking the leaves of the trees and making them bow under its persistence. The early summer air bringing out the scent of the wilderness as well as that of the mortals that had slowly begun to maintain their own societies and manage establishments. However further off the scent of blood was fresh but faint, a massacre had taken place in the late hours of the night and leaving a village or more desolate and obliterated. Leaving nothing behind that would single civilization but the rancid scent of burned flesh, wood and blood.
The scenery below passed by in languid scenes as two women and a man flew through the sky invisible to both mortal and demon eyes. The beings emitted a lucid aura that was distinct for each of them and none of which were the same in any way, shape or form.
One sat loftily on a grayed cloud her hair fell in silken waves around her face and transcending down her back in rivers of silver hair. Hidden slightly by her bangs were a pair of intuitive golden brown eyes seeking everything at once and finding nothing but turmoil. Hanging languidly over the floating cloud she was perched upon and hanging partially off the other side was a long silvery-white tail that blew moved gently with the winds motions. Her kimono was white with black flowers which were masterfully outlined with golden thread. However the gold appeared to shimmer more than any thread and had one not known better they might have believed it to be threaded with gold, and earnestly it was. A pair of silver ears which were perched behind her bangs, mounted like small silver pyramids on her head and flicking every which way as she glided with the other female and male on either side of her.
This vixen was a mischievous goddess as were the other two companions that accompanied her. However, each was from a different region in heritage and were either visiting or determining if they would stay. A bright white aura encompassed her petite contour, radiating purity and ignorance.
The second woman was lightly tanned, obviously an entity not from within the regions but many of the features held traits from Japan. Her hair was pulled into a set of ponytails on either side of her head revealing pointed ears under the masses of ginger tresses. Her eyes were a seething emerald, dappled generously with acid yellow and the pupils were cat like slits wary and forever watching. She vacantly examined her nails and magically they grew into claws. Then she retracted them, sheathing them like a cat. If one had not already guess she held more cat like features than a cat him/herself. High cheekbones and a slender figure that seemed to contort in an unnatural fluidity giving her somewhat of a feral appeal.
She sat cross legged on the cloud with the vixen and a slender black tail curled around her veiled legs, the tip of the appendage flicking agitatedly. Her eyes were brushed heavily with black make-up as were the corners of her eyes. Her aura was a bright crimson hue but smothered with orange and yellow giving it the appearance of flames. Emitting something sensual and passionate yet vengefully deranged. She wore an outfit similar to a yukata but in her regions it was formal wear. The obi around her waist was crimson with a black streak through the middle. The cloth itself was an amber color of sorts and black claw marks on each shoulder.
The third and last was a male entity and also a foreigner of sorts. His hair was a tantalizing obsidian hair highlighted with a forest green. Naturally spiked he braided it into a thick braid that hung low over his shoulder. His ears were larger by an inch and more elves like than the second woman. His eyes were a daunting crimson hue reeking of something malevolent and disdainful yet flirty and sensual. On the borders of his eyes were two identical crimson markings that curled from the corners and curled upwards after touching each cheek. He wore more armor than clothing. A chest armor that was black but if one were too look closely they would see it was truly the darkest of greens and it appeared to be smooth but it was in scaled. The undershirt was maroon as were his hakama like pants, a forest green sash around his waist, and two green armguards. On either side of his hips was a pair of kusarigamas.
A serpent like tail hung behind him as he glided effortlessly after the cloud, unaccompanied by wings or any other instruments to aid him in flight. His aura was deviant and unsettling obsidian and mashed with green like most of his attire. It spoke of evil but in a way he was not and that made it all more demonic and making those that only saw once tremble in fear.
The fox demoness was goddess Kakutsune of goodness and mischief, playful and pleasant but often a bit more devious. The second was Nekaku cat goddess of passionate and intriguing but a deviant whenever possible. And the dragon was Ryukaku that specialized in chaos and discord. They all looked completely different and had many different personalities but surprisingly enough they were all related.
These three supernatural beings held enough power to master any race they wished without even breaking a sweat. Dominating was as easy as picking a plum from a tree, easy and without a hassle. But they might be opposed by other gods that would terminate their powers and leave them barren. This leaves them with little to do but watch from afar and direct those as they pleased. With supernatural abilities and other assets to being a god came immortality. But at a price.
Boredom.
There were never any battles that needed immediate attention so killing things senselessly was out of the question. Random devastation was prohibited unless someone violated their shrines, then they could be as pissy as they wanted without getting persecuted. Drought and famines however were seen as natural causes and were allowed from time to time. But that gets boring after the last 70 centuries…
So flying carelessly above below cloud cover was the best they could do and survey the land, and play the `just' heroes.
“Oi Kaku-Chan, why do you live here anyway? There's so little to do here I wish I was back at home; at least there I could have a woman or two to myself. The chicks here are so damn virtues…” Ryukaku spoke resentfully.
The two females shot him disdainful looks and he sheepishly continued to glide. Nekaku extended her hand to run her newly extracted claws over his scaly tail as he passed them. The dragon shivered under the contact pulling away and placing more distance between him and the cat goddess who smirked mercilessly.
“You know Ruki-kun, all you have to do is ask?” she said, her tone syrupy that dripped femininity held something devious and malevolent.
“I told you don't call me Ruki, if anything call me Ryu at least that's my species! And that's disgusting! Even for us that's incest!” he said going red in the face and circling back towards the two.
“Yeah but who cares it's not like we're making little demi-gods or anything. Just `screwing' around.” Nekaku said with a devilish smirk, revealing her fangs to the astounded brother.
“More like shagging like rabbits if you ask me.” Kakutsune growled turning her back to her siblings.
The two sibling stopped their feuding to glare at their smaller sister, whose innocence's was a given but she had a mind as dirty as a drunk.
“I swear we weren't born from the same womb. How the hell do you have a father that's a Falcon and a mother that's a fox have offspring to begin with! I mean you we can explain,” Ryukaku said pointing to the kitsune. “But how the hell do you explain me and that.” He said jutting his thumb in Nekaku's direction causing her to glare at him.
“Bite me Ryu.” Nekaku snarled extending her claws again.
“Like to but I might catch rabies or worse, your stupidity!”
“That'it! Let's go lizard!”
“I'll skin you alive kitty!
“Not if I de-scale you first flying serpent!”
“I bet you'll make a great summer robe for mom!”
“You'd make a very fashionable handbag!”
“Yeah well I bet you'd make fine slippers!”
“Yeah all we'll need to do is get that stick out of your ass and we could make you into a purse!”
The two combatants didn't notice their little sister's annoyance and the slight twitching of her ear as her left leg jack-rabbited in agitation.
“You make me sick!” yowled Nekaku.
“Then we need to have a vet put you down!” Retorted Ryukaku.
The cat goddess was about to open her mouth again but instead of a smart reply was a scream of surprise as her sister pushed her abruptly from behind and she was plummeting towards the ground.
“You wanna be next?” Kakutsune growled glaring evilly at her brother who flew away from the cloud with a frightened expression on his face.
They say all cats land on their feet….
Well evidently they haven't met this one…
Nekaku didn't just hit the ground, she rolled…
Down a hill…
Into a river….
Then was thrown through rapids….
Then over a waterfall…
Into the ocean…
Swallowed by a whale…Well not actually a whale but the fish was pretty damn big….
Panting heavily on shore was a very unhappy, very pissed off, very wet and tired kitty and a very dead fish with a gaping hole in its belly where the goddess had emerged.
The cloud descended and hovered just above the ground as the dragon god hit the ground beside the sopping wet neko.
He knelt beside her and ran his hand briskly over her and the fabric quickly dried. The feline shuttered and glared at her kitsune sister who looked passively towards the distance, a remote and desolate expression adorning her angled features. This distant expression intrigued her sibling that followed her gaze towards the forest as a steady stream of black smoldered and over it the looming scent of burnt flesh.
“Kakutsune-chan, please don't-“
“Ikuyo.” The fox said, rising into the sky and flying towards the river of smoke that rose insidiously into the air.
Ryukaku growled bending onto the sand and kneeling beside Nekaku, exposing his back to her. “Climb on. We have to make sure she doesn't get herself hurt.” He said solemnly though the expression on his face was blank the cat goddess could see the remorse.
The two were soon high in the air trailing after the cloud and watching as it descended beyond the trees and disappeared with the scenery.
“Fly faster Ryu! We're losing her!” Nekaku shouted her claws involuntarily pressing into his shoulders causing him to wince.
“Hey! You're not exactly feather light you know! And quit digging into my shoulders that hurts!” he growled shaking a bit and causing her to grip tighter as he plummeted towards the ground after their sibling.
The stream of smoke obscured the smoldering remains of what appeared to be a village. The scent of burnt flesh cloying as it was hung in the air like something foul and rotting. Bodies were strewn across the ground; those whose faces were still mostly intact had a look of sheer horror twisting their features.
Blood coated the earth turning it black and animal carcass's half eaten la on the floor charred and mangled.
Nekaku had to cover her face with the sleeves of her robes to prevent the choking, her eyes more closed than not because of the fumes and the smoke stinging her eyes. Ryukaku was not even fazed by the carnage for he was of this very element. Darkness and malevolence, death and such. This was a natural feature for him something that inevitably happened and did not affect him as it would his sisters. But that didn't mean it didn't hurt to see a child's corpse mangled and burned. And the overpowering stench of demons tainted the already fetid air.
“Kakutsune! Kakutsune! Where are you?” Nekaku called, her cries muffled by her robes and even with it covering her mouth she coughed. She strode through the decimated roads and streets in an attempt to locate the wily fox goddess with Ryukaku trailing after her in a state of indifference.
The cat goddess nearly jumped as Ryukaku's finger gingerly brushed her hand, clasping it in his own and staring vacantly off to the left side. Nekaku's eyes followed his own and she gasped loudly staring at what must have been a school.
The charred remains of the building were broken and lopsided, falling apart and reeking of death. Blood stained and burnt beyond recognition were bodies, mainly children's.
And kneeling on the blood soaked ground was their little sister cradling a slowly dying child in her lap. The boy's shallow breathing came in rasping gasps, laborious and in a vain attempt to bring air into his ailing lungs. His eyes half opened revealing that his right eye had been gouged from his face and leaving that side mangled and torn. Soft pitiful whimpers coming from him, stealing what little air he had. His hair was singled and mostly gone leaving him bare and bald.
Flaxen eyes stared down at the child as its gasps quieted and finally ceased leaving the body clammy and still. Silver ears fallen against her head and tail curled protectively around her lap, Kakutsune lifted her face with a look of torment marring her beautiful features.
“How could they?”
“Kakutsune it just happens, we have little to no control over this matter.” Nekaku said trying to comfort her sibling who shied away from her outstretched hand, holding onto the dead child in her arms.
“But why? Why would anyone do this?”
“Because they can.” The women looked at their male companion who stood so nonchalantly that it was uncanny. Amidst the destruction and death he was completely at home, not a hair out of place.
“Demons kill things that are weaker because it brings them pleasure. They say the only thing better then sex is killing and some don't care who or what they kill.”
Kakutsune shuddered at her brother blatant uncaring voice, stone and ice. “But that's not fair!”
“Life's not meant to be!” The two recoiled, flinched at their brother's tone as the skies around them darkened speaking of a storm. His black pupils had become obsidian slits amongst the pool of crimson, seething something spiteful.
“You think that because it's not fair it doesn't happen! Well reality check little sister life's a bitch if there ever was one so get used to it! You can't just expect goodness to rain from the skies and to keep the peace. These people may have brought nothing but peace but there are those that thrive to destroy it!” His voice growled, rumble and shook the sky as thunder struck and rekindled the flames.
Nekaku rose in blinding speed to slap her hand across the face of her brother who snatched her arm before she could touch him, baring abnormally large canines at her and looking all the more malevolent.
“Ryukaku stop!” she growled fighting against his superior strength.
“No it's time she learned that death and destruction happens even if it's not right!”
His attention turned back to the sobbing Kakutsune, head bowed over the body of the child and averting her gaze. Ears once more flat against her head as she slowly laid the body to the ground and rose.
Her robe was smeared with blood and she made no move to remove the stains from her robes as her golden eyes turned heavenwards. They were torn, broken in sadness as she watched the clouds angry assault on the sky and turned slightly to her siblings with a vacant look.
“Then I will correct this transgression.”
Her left hand rose and the tips of her fingers began to glow the white shimmering purity that she was. Ryukaku's eyes had returned to something resembling normal and he'd released his sister who rubbed her wrists a red mark forming where the dragon god had held her.
“How shall you correct this deed dear sister of mine? You are unable to raise the dead.” He prompted stepping towards her and was shocked as he ran right into a barrier. He faltered backing away and staring at his front that was slightly singed. He ran a hand over it and was surprised that he could not repair the damage.
“Children of earth, sky and wind
I call to you to correct a sin
The weak have fallen to powers axe
They have lost too many for them to relax
Torment and death lines my path
Today an innocent knows wrath
Let the powerful fall beneath my spell
Let them know their own hell
For I Kakutsune invoke the now
Rain upon them their own foul!”
“Holy-“
“Shit.”
Ryukaku and Nekaku were forced to the sky as the earth trembled with power and the sky began to seethe with their sister's rage and the wind began to roar at her call. Ryukaku held fast as the wind buffeted him from all side, his robes slowly being ripped to shred and he gasps at the power the young fox goddess was emitting.
“Make her stop Ryu! She'll kill herself!” Nekaku pleaded, holding onto his waist and burying her face in the gap of his neck and shoulder.
“I can't she's put up a barrier! I can't reach her.” He yelled over the bellow of the winds, he had to ascend as the winds began to lift the debris into the air and swirling in a vortex of massive power.
Beneath them their sister was gone, shimmering only as a white light before her power exceeded its limit and erupted in a wave of violent energy. Her barrier popped and the power she had contained flew in every direction it could, some of that enormous energy streaking towards the two hovering gods.
Ryukaku was once more forced higher into the sky, now avoiding the lights that hit the sky and earth. One particular beam struck his right arm and he gritted his teeth against the pain, feeling as if the very appendage was being ripped from him as something was removed. Another beam struck him in the back and he released a strangled yelp as he fell to the ground, hitting a burned building and making it collapse on top of him and Nekaku who screamed.
The assault on the world continued, throbbing and churning until the skies seemed ready to fall apart. Kakutsune felt her own beams of energy strike her. Her own energy stripped from her from every direction. She felt her energy taken from her and leaving her with nothing as she fell to the ground in a disgruntled heap.
The skies cleared and her spell was in place and having already taken affect as day became the moonless night of the new moon.
