Chapter Six
Thor stood in the middle of it all; blood and bodies of men who had tried to attack him, but failed miserably. Ningen were and easy kill. Their blood was everywhere; on the trees, on the ground, in his hair, on his face, in his mouth, on his clothes, dripping off his claws; everywhere.
He surveyed the bodies; some had broken arms, broken legs, missing arms and missing legs, broken necks and missing heads. In some cases the bone had broken through the skin. Some of them were slowly turning into huge puddles of green ooze.
Others would call it a massacre but he would call it survival; kill or be killed.
He stepped over the mutilated bodies and continued his journey home, but first he needed to find a river. He sniffed the air every now and then and listened for the sound of running water. He flicked the blood off his claws but most of it had dried by then and stuck to his hands.
He heard the faint sound of running water and sniffed the air to be sure. Thor went through the trees, pushing away branches and stepping over roots. The amount of trees became less and less as he got closer and finally emerged to see before him a river.
Thor took off his armour and removed his swords and clothes. He got into the water, clothes in hand and sat as he left his clothes to float in the water, but close to him so that when they were dragged away by the current he could pull them back. The blood on his clothes was quite fresh and came out easily. When they were free of blood he tossed them on a tree branch to dry.
He scrubbed the blood from his feet, claws, face and hair. Thor sat on the water and thought of his tennyo and what that fluffy...something said. Could the two be connected? What did it all mean? He didn't know what to think or expect. It all felt like a dream and none of this was happening for real, but it was and he couldn't figure out what to do.
He rose from the water and went over to the tree where his clothes were drying. Thor raised his body temperature and the water on his body evaporated instantly. He put on his hakama and it dried in a matter of seconds. A bird circled over head.
"Hot!' He heard a familiar voice shout. The bird flew away.
He sighed and shook his head. He bent down and picked up something so tiny he had to hol di t between his claws. "She sent you didn't she?" He asked.
The tiny thing coughed and shook itself. Thor placed it in his palm and watched it . He had a hunch why he was there. It rolled over on its stomach and started sucking on Thor's plam. He clapped his hands together.
"Myouga-jiji did my mother send you?" He asked.
Myouga blew himself up and glared at Thor. "Didnt she ever teach you to respect your elders?" He asked.
Thor raised a brow and chuckled. "She did send you." He said.
"She worries." Myouga replied.
Thor sighed. "I'm on my way home anyway." He got dressed and put on the rest of his clothes, his armour and returned his swords to his side.

[FLASHBACK]
A ten year old Raine, the eldest of our children, sat holding her one year old sister, Kaoru. Her four year old sister, Rumiko and her seven year old brother, Kiko sat beside her. Their father was in his room tending to their mother, who had been sick for quite a while and they were all worried, especially Raine; she and her mother were very close and she didn't know what she would do without her.
She heard the door slide open and looked up to see her father coming out of the room. The expression on his face told her of the bad news and she got the urge to run into the forest and dance and sing. He took Kaoru from Raine and told her that her mother wanted to see her. She took a deep breath and walked to her parents' room.
Raine closed the door behind her and knelt next to her mother. She was sweaty and pale, her hair stuck to her face and she was wheezing. Despite all this, Raine's mother smiled; that brilliant smile that told you everything would be okay and not to worry.
"Hi sweetie." She said in a weak voice. Raine held her mother's hand and the cold sweat felt weird against her skin, but she held it still. Raine laid her head on her mother's chest and listened to her heartbeat.
"I love you okaa." Raine said trying hard to hold back her tears. She knew it would happen soon and wanted her mother to hear it before she left.
"I know sweetie. I love you too," Her mother replied. She started stroking Raine's hair and even though it hurt like hell to move, she did it anyway. "Ray-ray you need to be a big girl now. Look after your sisters and brother for me."
Raine didn't trust her voice so she just nodded as forbidden tears rolled down her cheeks and stained her mother's clothes. She held her mother's hand tighter; her grip was growing weaker with each passing second.
Her mother took a deep breath. "Look after your father too; he's taking this really hard but he won't show it around you; he wants to be strong for you." She said.
Raine sniffled. "I'll miss you." She said and started sobbing uncontrolably. Her mother tried to lull her but it didn't work, she was leaving forever and she didn't want that, Raine loved her mother and wanted her to stay.
"Do not cry for me; my time here on this earth had passed and I must leave you. Tell everyone I love them." She said.
Her mother died an hour later and during that time, they said nothing to each other; just enjoyed their last moments together. Raine stayed where she was and listened to her mother's heart beat get slower and slower until she no longer heard it.
Raine sat up and looked at her mother; her eyes were closed. She sniffled and leaned forward to kiss her forehead and she wiped the tears from her eyes. She took a deep breath and left to tell her father.
That same night, they burned her mother's body and as she watched the flames dance around her as the smoke took her soul to Ama, Raine's longing for the forest got stronger and this time she didn't ignore it, she listened to it and obeyed it. Before she even realized what she was doing she heard her father yell her name as her feet carried her to the forest.
Raine ran and ran as fast as her feet could carry her until she came to a clearing and stopped. She panted, catching her breath and a song her grandmother sang to her came to mind and she felt like singing and so she did. Soon enough, her feet started moving and she was dancing; her memorial to her mother.
Raine's father ran through the many trees, looking for his daughter; he didn't want to call after her for fear that she would run away. He never thought that any of his children would turn out like his mother; a passion for singing and dancing in the middle of the forest and putting themselves in danger.
He heard singing and knew the voice of his daughter. This was the first time she and done this and it would be her last. He broke through the trees and into the clearing where he saw Raine singing and dancing. It was completely unacceptable.
"Raine!" He called. She stopped and looked at him. "What in the hell are you doing? This is wrong! It is dangerous out here in the forest and I will not lose you to your ignorance! We are going home now!"
"But-" Raine started.
"Now!" He yelled.
[END FLASHBACK]
After she got home Raine's father and scolded her and forbade her from going into the forest; alone or otherwise. She had never seen her father so angry and wished never to see him that way again, but now she wasn't with him and he couldn't tell her what to do. It was now that she wanted nothing more than to spend some time alone in the forest that she loved since she was a child.
