Name: Shi Race: Before death: Human After death: 50% Oni 50% Kami Gender: Female Age: Appears 26; is no longer alive Height: 6'2" Weight: 190 lbs Build: Muscular, six pack, built upper and lower arms, chiseled back, defined thighs and calves Ethnicity: Japanese Skin Colour: Caucasian, but she has more of a grey/white pigment to her. Eye Colour: White with 13 red rings spread out within them (she is blind) Hair Colour: Black with 13 white streaks Hair Length: Down to her lower back/butt Hair Style: She has curtain bangs and an undercut with 13 (in Japanese) cut into it. Her hair is almost always up in a ponytail with her bangs often falling out. However she does other styles, like Viking braids, or just having it down. Tattoos: Japanese black and white dragon down entire right leg, a snake wrapping down entire left arm and head ending on hand, 0000 (branded) into her lip, right hand is a skeleton hand, Scars: long jagged vertical line down her right eye, large jagged line over her heart, two thin lines on her upper lip where her fangs have split her lips, 6 distinct red jagged horizontal rings down her entire right arm, 7 distinct red jagged horizontal rings down her entire left leg starting at her groin. Other Markings: She has two markings under both of her eyes. They almost resemble her crying. Under her eyes is a small black "pool" that has a thin line that goes down to about the end of her nose and it gets thicker near the end, the shape resembling a tear. Outfit: Often seen wearing baggy black sweats and a loose black hoodie and black running shoes. Also seen always carrying a large dark brown box with Japanese etchings on it that only Shi seems to be able to read. Language: Can speak, read, and write every single language History: Shi was born into a family of Kami killing assassins in the 1300s. She was born with the powers of the 13 Kami's. She was predestined to bring calamity; the end. Upon her birth, the world went red as a dagger was plunged into her heart, from her own father and mother. Upon that happening, 13 rings across her arm and leg blistered and swelled up, soon glowing a blood red and burning hot. Even though Shi had been stabbed, she let out the most bloodcurdling scream. Those around her fell to their knees as blood ran down from their eyes, mouth, nose, and ears. The dagger slowly came out from her chest as her wound slowly, cruelly, stitched itself back together. Shi, the girl born with brilliant blue eyes, now was blind with white eyes that had 13 rings slowly starting to appear in a blood red colour. Thin black horns curled up on her forehead and fangs split her upper lip as they forced their way out. Out of the shadows someone seemed to melt out. Unbeknownst, it was Taira, the Samurai Kami who put millions of men and women on their knees in fear every year. He walked up to Shi and grabbed the knife, quickly ending the lives of Shi's mother and father. Along with the others around who aided in the birth of Shi. He then picked up Shi and left just as quickly and mysteriously as he came. Taira went on for hundreds of years to take care of and teach Shi how to use her powers and how to fight and defend herself while blind. Taira also taught her how to rely on her other senses to survive and navigate. Taira is the reason Shi is able to fight as though she can see normally. However, Taira quickly noticed that Shi wouldn't be able to control the powers of the 13 Kami even with them teaching her. So Taira, being the most mighty and feared of all the Kami, tracked down all of the Kami and imbued them all into their respective swords. The Kami are able to live outside of the swords, and go about life as they please, or they can stay around Shi. But once Shi is wielding one of the swords and says the sword's name, the Kami gets pulled into the sword and is in there until Shi sheaths the sword inside the box once again. Weapons: Shi primarily carries around this large dark brown oak true wooden box. She's often seen swinging it around and fighting with it as though it were an actual sword. No one has seen her fight without it. However, the box actually opens up and holds the 13 swords of the 13 Kami. Named after each of their respective Kami. Since Shi was born with the complete power of the 13 Kami, she needs to use the swords to maintain the power. She cannot control them otherwise and will send the world into destruction. Jizo Jizo is the guardian of children and childbirth, hence the Kami of children. This sword is completely defensive. It is able to track and read the attacks and movements of opponents and allies around Shi. It focuses purely on defending and blocking and avoiding attacks on Shi, but Shi does have the ability to force it to protect others if she forces it hard enough. Shi uses this sword often, she has a decent connection to it. It was only natural for Jizo to want to connect and bond with Shi. Raijin Raijin is the Kami of thunder, lightning, and storms. This sword is completely offensive and it is close combat, but primarily at long range. It is able to send lightning strikes down, cause large and loud thunder claps, and can cause sudden torrential storms. This sword is extremely strong and takes a lot out of Shi to use. She hasn't built a connection to Raijin, they've been pushing back against her. But even though Shi doesn't have a connection with Raijin, it would still defend her if it had to. Fujin Fujin is the Kami of wind. This sword is primarily defensive but can also be used as offense. It sends out bursts of wind when it makes a slashing motion. It's also able to create tornados when spun around in a circle. Fujin also drains a lot out of Shi. Since Fujin and Raijin are Kami's that work hand in hand with each other, they tend to have similar mindsets. They're often considered siblings. Shi hasn't been able to build a connection with Fujin yet either. However, even though Shi doesn't have a connection with Fujin, it would still protect her if it had to. Agyo Agyo is the Kami of violence. This sword is a complete offensive weapon and is extremely dangerous. It is the first of the two piece set; Agyo & Ungyo. This sword enhances Shi's attributes tenfold. She becomes ten times faster, and smarter. She's also more agile, her endurance is heightened along with her stamina and her dexterity. However, Shi has no connection to these swords whatsoever. She hasn't used them once, but she also knows if she does, they're going to be her main swords. These swords would drain her in almost an instant and would melt her mental. She has a ways to go before she's able to wield these swords. However, Agyo & Ungyo are able to repress their powers if Shi ever had to wield them before she was ready. Ungyo Ungyo is the Kami of Strength. This sword is a complete offensive weapon and is extremely dangerous. It is the second of the two piece set; Agyo & Ungyo. This sword enhances Shi's attributes tenfold. She becomes ten times stronger, and she becomes more lethal. While wielding this sword she's able to learn new fighting moves or new sword techniques. She's also able to regenerate rapidly. However, Shi has no connection to these swords whatsoever. She hasn't used them once, but she also knows if she does, they're going to be her main swords. These swords would drain her in almost an instant and would melt her mental. She has a ways to go before she's able to wield these swords. However, Agyo & Ungyo are able to repress their powers if Shi ever had to wield them before she was ready. Inari Inari is the Kami of everything important in Japan; rice, tea, fertility, sake, and worldly success. This sword, as interesting as it may be, is offensive from close and long range. This sword allows Shi to connect to Earth. She can control the wildlife around her. When this sword is struck in the ground, Shi can either have the wildlife flourish or suddenly all dry up and die. She can control the trees and cause them to come to life like Trents. This sword also allows Shi to connect with the animals and speak with them and control them. This sword can also cast infertility upon a town if Shi chants the etchings on the right side of the blade. Additionally, this sword can cast a town into financial despair in an instant if Shi chants the etchings on the left side of the blade. This sword is extremely dangerous, not to Shi however. She has built an impressive connection with this sword, however she doesn't use it unless she has to because she understands the repercussions that come with it. In being allowed to wield Inari, Shi has a familiar. It's a small black fox with white eyes that also has 13 blood red rings in them. The fox also has a red tip on its tail, ears, and muzzle. It also has red feet with white toes. The fox's name is Masao. Kannon Kannon is the Kami of Mercy. This sword is a fully offensive close combat weapon with a long range ability. This sword has complete control over light power and belief. The concepts behind this sword are detrimental. With this sword, Shi can remove any form of light from the world, along with weaponizing and using light magic with the light she absorbed. Shi also can control what and who people believe in if she chants the etchings on both sides of the blade. She can send people into despair by making them solely focus on believing in and praising a certain Kami, being, thing, or person. Shi can completely rewrite people's habits and mindsets with this sword. This sword is extremely powerful and dangerous. Shi hasn't handled this sword much, only about five or six times. She has a mutual understanding with Kannon, along with mutual respect. Shi isn't strong enough to wield Kannon yet. However, Kannon is able to repress its powers so Shi could wield it if she ever had to. Benzaiten Benzaiten is the Kami of everything that flows; words, eloquence, music, and love. This is an offensive close and long range weapon. This sword is able to render someone speechless, along with stopping someone in their tracks. It is also capable of distorting and changing words that are spoken or sung. With this sword, Shi can completely rewrite history, or simply change your answer on a math test. Even more, Shi can manipulate love. She can descend humanity into a lovestruck madness that bends at her every whim. Shi doesn't use this sword often, however she has built an admirable bond with Benzaiten. Shi is able to use this sword with ease, however it does drain a considerable amount of her energy and sanity. She can't use this sword for too long. Ebisu Ebisu is the Kami of fishermen, luck, and the health of small children. This sword is primarily defensive, but it can be used offensive with close and long range combat. This sword is capable of maintaining Shi's health and healing her of any wounds, no matter how bad it is/was. It is also able to naturally cause her to dodge even the most narrow attacks. This sword can also manipulate any form of water, including the blood in someone's body. Shi is able to completely control someone without saying anything. If Shi is brandishing Ebisu, she can control a whole legion of demons with just her mind. It's also noted that whenever she is holding Ebisu, any fight or predicament she may be in, has gone in her favour. Shi has built a strong connection with Ebisu, it's her second most used sword. It doesn't take too much out of her to control Ebisu, but that's purely because she's almost mastered it. Amaterasu Amaterasu is the Kami of the Sun and the Universe. This sword is a fully offensive close combat weapon. This sword is able to manipulate time and gravity. On top of that this sword can also send light flashes that blind people and are so hot that it can cut/melt right through bone, along with other much thicker materials. This sword can also maintain a fire along the blade that's as hot as the sun. This sword is extremely dangerous and comes with a multitude of side effects. Shi hasn't used the sword once. In order to use this sword, she will have to fully master Ebisu with one hand and be able to wield Ebisu and Amaterasu at the same time. Amaterasu not only would instantly melt Shi physically, it would melt her mental beyond repair. Shi has a long way to go before she'll be able to wield Amaterasu. Amaterasu isn't able to repress its powers, so Shi cannot use it at all. However, she is able to speak with Amaterasu and they have a mutual understanding and respect for each other. Izanami Izanami is the Kami of Death. This sword is equally offensive as it is defensive. If Shi is wielding this sword she can control how and when someone dies, however it is guaranteed they will die. Shi isn't able to prolong the death with Izanami, it's more so speeding up the death process. Izanami also has a passive ability; Rot. What Rot does is make anything that comes in contact with Izanami, other than Shi, immediately start to decay from the inside out, starting at the origin of contact. This also affects inanimate objects. If a sword hit Izanami, it'll immediately start to harden over like a rock and then start cracking and then crumbling. If Izanami touches a person, their skin will start turning blacker and blacker and start peeling and rotting and decaying away. It'll be followed with intense agony and pain, along with the putrid scent of death. It'll continue to spread throughout the body until Rot kills them, or until Rot is cured by Izanagi. Shi has used this sword a couple dozen times and has built a decent connection, but she hasn't gotten a good feel for Izanami or bond with Izanami. It's just far too strong for her current status. Izanagi Izanagi is the Kami of Life. This sword is fully offensive. If Shi is wielding Izanagi, she has complete control over how and when someone lives. Shi can elongate someone's lifespan with Izanagi, or change their health and how they're living with Izanagi. Izanagi is also able to take the life force out of whatever it makes contact with. Izanagi deals damage in Life Power. Life Power Attacks mean that it affects your soul. Whatever wounds that may be inflicted by Izanagi, cannot be healed; not even by Ebisu. If someone or something dies in Izanagi, they have no hope of being reborn or being reincarnated. In the same sense, the opponent also won't be able to transfer their soul to a different body. Once you're struck with Izanagi you're stuck in the body you're inhabiting forever. Shi hasn't used Izanagi once. Izanagi is the only Kami to fully rebel against Shi. Izanagi doesn't respect Shi or see her as worthy to wield them. Shi has to earn Izanagi's respect before she can wield it. However, she is able to clean the sword and whatnot, she just cannot fight or practice with it. Taira Taira is the Kami of despair and destruction. This sword is fully offensive. This sword is the strongest sword in Shi's arsenal. It is capable of unleashing any natural disaster or human made disaster. It can also send swarms of insects, animals, anything. This sword is capable of fully reshaping the world. If Shi is wielding this sword, she can cause tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, radiation leaks, tsunamis, avalanches, torrential storms… Any disaster anyone thinks of she can cause in major or minor scales. It could be an earthquake that splits a small area of the Earth just to cause an opponent to fall into, or she could split an entire state in half with an earthquake. Shi has the strongest connection with this sword as Taira was the Kami to come to her and save her, teach her everything she currently knows. She uses this sword the most often, and has mastered it over the hundreds of years she's been on Earth. However, to fully master Taira and be able to unleash its full power, Shi has to fully master the other 12 Kami swords. Weaknesses: She is weak to people's beliefs. If people do not believe in the Kami's that she works with/wields then she will cease to exist. This also plays into the person she's fighting. If the person she's fighting doesn't believe in the Kami's she has relations with, her attacks will be much, much weaker. She is also susceptible to any angelic or light capabilities/powers. In the same respect, she is also susceptible to dark capabilities/powers. Another weakness is the polar opposite to whatever Kami/Sword she is wielding. Meaning. If she used the sword Amaterasu, any power or capability that is water based would counter that sword and it's capabilities. Another massive weakness is the fact she cannot force the bonds to be formed. If the Kami's continue to refuse to form a bond with Shi, she will be unable to use that capability/sword at all. Her 13 rings represent how many lives she has. If all of her rings were to fade from her body she would die and remain dead. Photo References: Shi's build and hairstyle is very similar to Shion. Her horns and eye markings look just like Benimaru's. Of course, her hair colour, eye colour, etc. is everything like I described above. Shi's box also looks like this opened and closed. (I know it looks hexagonal but it's rectangular. My art skills are not top tier... xD) |

✨ b o o t i f u l ✨ )) Name: Tiago Race: Summoner // Matter manipulation Gender: Male Age: 23 Height: 6'0" Weight: 180 lbs Build: Fairly muscular, toned abs and arms. Ethnicity: Puerto Rican Skin Colour: Fairly tan(Think caramel) Eye Colour: Icy blue, as in, almost silver. Hair Colour: Platinum blonde to white (Due to hyperpigmentation) with black patches. Hair Length: Short, but almost to his shoulders. He can put it up in a lil bun if he wants to ^^ Hair Style: Wears it in a bun most of the time, but will leave it down when he feels relaxed. He has VERY curly hair, so it tends to disagree with him when he tries to style it. Tattoos: Four little hearts on his left wrist. . . find out why later. >:3 Scars: Several smaller scars are scattered across his body, but he has one major slash on his back that goes from his right shoulder blade down to his lower back/butt. Other Markings: He has hyperpigmentation(vitiligo) in certain areas, but it hasn't spread much since he was a child. It mostly stays near his neck and legs. Outfit: His go-to fit is a black t-shirt and a pair of ripped jeans paired with a black mask and beanie. Language: English and Spanish. History: Tiago was born into a rather powerful family of matter manipulators in Puerto Rico, and was expected to inherit the same abilities. However, he received the rare ability of summoning, which he has hidden since the day he was born. His father isn't in the picture anymore, and he lives with his mother and siblings. For as long as he can remember, he has had a deep hatred of unnaturals(monsters), and attended a school specifically to train kids to be assassins. He hunts monsters nearly every day, and has never once regretted it. He is one of the most skilled matter manipulators known in the area, which is why he left home at the age of nineteen to work as a bounty hunter. He takes on gigs to hunt down unnaturals, and feels no remorse when he kills them. His whole life, he's been taught and trained to be a cold-blooded killer. Weapons: He mostly fights with his abilities, but he is also trained to use a bow and arrow. Weaknesses: His family is his number one weakness, especially his kid sister, Andrea. Specifically, though, the element of anti-matter is the most efficient way to outmatch him. He also tends to have some issues with ethics and morals, so he is often conflicted, and argues with himself. Photo References: Uhhh- Use your imagination? .^. |

Graduation had struck and several students were already on their way to the Adventurer's Guild. Shi wasn't too fond of that, seeing as all these "monsters", as the Humans called them, were connected to her. Letting out a sigh, she felt the prickliness of a soft, cool breeze against her cheeks, which were a bit red from the cold. Even though she didn't necessarily like all of their actions and motives, the Humans fascinated Shi. She had taken some time off of her personal mission, which was bonding with the Kami's, to take part in this Highschool. If you could even call it that. It was a school that took in anyone above the age of 16 and trained them to be lethal killers. Though, not just any killers, "monster" killers. Shi always hated that. She wasn't a monster, nor were the other creatures. They were just all... Creatures! They all want to live and they do what they can to survive. Though, Shi did know Demons would often cause a stir. She couldn't fully blame the Humans for being on edge, but targeting all of the creatures who were just... different? Shi's face twisted in disgust as she sneered and clicked her tongue. It was such a shame, so much raw talent within all of these Humans, wasted on unjustified bloodlust. It made no sense to her, though she really couldn't talk. If she got found out, she'd be an immediate target for assassination, or worse. If a strong enough Summoner came to her, they would be able to turn her into their Servant. Of course, they would have to get Shi to submit. This would require her verbal submission or it would require the Summoner to fight her and leave her extremely weak. That way the Summoner could force the submission even if Shi rebelled. The half Kami half Oni shivered at the thought. If she got imprisoned, there would be a good chance she'd never fully bond with the Kami's. Shi was aware she was an extremely strong creature and wouldn't be allowed to run free if a Summoner did take her. At least, that's what she figured. Afterall, Humans only care about themselves and not the fact that they're committing a genocide, several genocides if you want to be accurate. Shi is also the only of her kind, a half-breed who was born to cause destruction. "Of course they would target me," she muttered under her breath before rolling her eyes. Hopping off of the stone wall she was sitting on, she slowly looked around. She might not be able to see, but she is able to detect the aura of everything. So it was like seeing... But not. She quickly navigated herself to the Adventurer's Guild, being careful not to bump anyone. She tugged her cloak hood over her head and entered the building. As she entered a light bell rang off and several faces turned to look at her. Shi may not be able to see it, but she could feel their stares boring into her. Whilst she was in the "school", everyone seemed to always be fascinated? Is that the right word? She supposed so. The Humans were fascinated with Shi. Seeing as she never spoke to anyone, never partied up in a band; which is extremely dangerous, and she never lost a fight within the school. However, there was a guy she never really interacted with that was also the top of the class. He wasn't loud, but he was definitely confident. But filled with rage, hate, and bloodlust. Tiago. That was a man that Shi couldn't even try to understand. He just hated anything and everything that wasn't a Human. It was so vile to Shi. He held no remorse to anyone or anything he killed, it almost seemed as if he enjoyed it. She could tell he certainly didn't have any plans of stopping. Though, he seemed stronger than the others. Not just from his training... But from something else entirely. Shi couldn't put her finger on it. She was very aware of the Summoner's existing, though she has never come across one. Never wishes to either. The Kami half-breed walked up to the desk, her red rings of her eyes being the only thing that stared forward towards the small girl behind the desk. "I would like to form a party," she said in a monotone voice. "By yourself ma'am? You know... You know that isn't-" Shi cut her off before she could continue what she was saying with a wave of her hand. "I care not for your warnings nor your compassion. I would just like to form a party by myself." Shi glared at the girl, showing that she wouldn't take no for an answer. The girl gulped, fear consuming her eyes and she quickly nodded with a squeak. She fumbled the paperwork and pen as her hands were shaking. "You need not fear me, I have no ill intentions for you or anyone else. I just prefer solitude and do not trust others," Shi said. This seemed to calm the girl down and she gave Shi a soft smile. "Right of course. Well! Here you are! Here's the application form, fill that out." Shi nodded and quickly scribbled answers down. It inquired on who would be in the party, the name etc. All the boring, basic information. Shi pushed the application form back towards the girl. Shi shifted her large box on her back, she always carried it like it was a backpack. But in combat, Shi is ridiculously skilled with the box, using it and weaponizing it like it were a sword. "Say... You seem more skilled than the average Adventurer. You seem more intelligent as well, like you have an old soul," the girl said to Shi. This caused her to cock her head, a low chuckle rumbling from her chest. "I suppose you could say I'm wiser and older than I look." Shi winked at the girl and took the badge that was in her outstretched hand. "Thank you," Shi said before briskly turning and walking out. She didn't care to wait for the girl to respond. She doubted she would see her again. It's not like Shi is going to actively hunt creatures. Unless of course they are evil and are causing horrid things to happen. Then she would absolutely defeat them. But that's not too likely. Shi mainly just got her Adventurer Pass so she can roam the lands freely. Shi walked rather quickly out and turned to her left towards a road that left the little town she was in. Finally, she was free to roam again. Taira was probably worried, seeing as she hasn't had much contact with him. She was forced to keep a low profile, er, as low of a profile as possible. Exhaling heavily, it felt as though a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She was tired of Humans and tired of being in a social area. She just wanted to go back to the forest, her home. She wanted to go back to training, back to working on the bonds with the Kami's. And she most definitely couldn't do that at that godforsaken school. Shi wasn't sure what exactly she thought the school would be. But she definitely didn't think it would be training bloodthirsty killers. |

Tiago was grateful to finally be graduating. As much as he had enjoyed his training here, he had grown rather bored of the same basic things. It wasn't really so much of a high school as it was an academy, just because it trained kids from the ages of sixteen to twenty four. He was supposed to train for another year, but they were allowing him to graduate early because of how much he excelled in his course studies. Things had been fairly calm for the past few months, but there was one thing that had, in fact, caught his attention. There was a new transfer student: Shi. He'd never met the girl himself, but he'd heard a lot about her. She was fairly skilled, but nowhere near the level of their other classmates. She didn't seem to enjoy school, or social interaction in general, which was strange to Tiago. If you hate the course, then why take it? He wondered as he walked through the town. He generally didn't understand her, and had no intentions of ever trying. He'd decided shortly after she arrived that he was better off just sticking to his current friend group. Besides, he didn't need any weaklings in his party. It would only soil his reputation, and cost him respect. "Tiago- Earth to Tiago?" His friend, Myra poked him to grab his attention. "Hm? Oh- Yeah. Sorry, must've spaced out for a sec." He sighed, crossing his arms. "Okay, then? I'm gonna head home. I'll see you tomorrow, alright?" She raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything about his odd behavior. "Alright. Cya." He replied dully, seeming fed up. He turned and headed towards the exit of the town, knowing it would be a long walk to get home. He supposed he could've called a cab, or called for a ride, but he didn't feel like dealing with social interaction right now. As popular and confident as he might've seemed, he actually tended to avoid people whenever he could. He headed through the woods, taking an old, run down trail to get back home. He and his family lived pretty far from everything, and he never really brought any of his friends home. Today had been tiring, and he was looking forward to getting home and taking a nap before dinner. |

As Shi began walking towards the forest, she felt a familiar presence though she didn't pay much mind to it. As she neared the forest, a sense of relief overcame her. She knew she'd be nearing her small cottage hidden deep within the depths of the forest. It was also surrounded by a barrier that hid the cottage. Made it disappear essentially. On top of that, only Shi knew exactly where the location was as well. Stepping into the forest, she followed the path for a few minutes before sharply turning to her right and walking off the path. The overgrown brush came up to her knees and there were low hanging branches everywhere. She memorized her path and navigated the rough terrain with relative ease. It also helped being able to see the aura of everything. It basically outlined the things around her enough to be able to avoid them. Birds chirping filled her ears and Shi took a deep breath. A smile curved on her features, her fangs slowly sliding out as she began to let her full Humanoid mask drop. Her horns also began to slowly form onto her head as well. Shi was able to make her fangs and horns disappear for the sake of looking as Humane as possible. However, Shi quickly noticed something... peculiar. The birds had stopped chirping. This was usually a sign of danger. Shi narrowed her eyes as she slowly looked over her shoulder. Though, nothing stood out to her. Her face twisted in confusion, though, against her better judgement, she continued forward and decided to ignore it. Nearing her cottage, she quickly passed through the barrier. It made it appear like the forest was never ending, when in fact a cottage was just up ahead. Shi finally reached her cottage and walked inside, closing the door behind her. Locking the door, she set her box down and plopped onto a recliner. Exhaling heavily, she pulled her hood down and stretched out her body. Multiple pops and cracks followed her stretch. "Shi! Where have you been," a loud voice boomed out authoritatively. Shi rolled her eyes and let out a low groan, pinching the bridge of her nose. A large deity came through the doorway of her Kitchen and stopped in front of her with it's arms crossed over their chest. "Nice to see you too Taira," Shi said, smiling at him widely. "I agree, where the Hell have you been," another voice exclaimed. "Ah Ebisu, how nice of you to show up," Shi groaned, again rolling her eyes. This caused Taira and Ebisu both to roll their eyes in response. "Those aren't the only one's you worried," Shi heard another voice hiss. "Yeah! It isn't like you to disappear and not try to communicate with us! You didn't call on us once! What the hell Shi," another voice exclaimed, in an almost whiny tone. "Hello Inari and Jizo," Shi groaned rubbing her temples. Her familiar, Masao came bounding from upstairs, soon jumping onto Shi's lap and jumping up and down ecstatically. "You didn't even bring your familiar with you! You know that's my way of making sure you're okay and not in any danger," Inari hissed again. All four deities were now standing in front of Shi. "Oh for the love of- Yes. Okay I am sorry I didn't contact you. I wanted to see what Human life was like. So I signed up for this school academy thing," she grumbled out. She began to pet Masao gently, smoothing out it's fur. "I am most grateful for the familiar Inari, you know that better than anyone. But I couldn't risk him getting spotted. They would kill him and attempt to kill me," she spoke quietly. "What did you just say," Taira boomed out, quieting the other three Kami's. "Yes Taira. I went to investigate the Humans. My morbid curiosity got the better of me. Turns out they're just as vile and disgusting as you explained. I just... I wanted to have some faith. Some kind of hope in Humanity. But all they're focused on is hunting down any creature that isn't a Human until we're all gone," Shi spoke in a monotone, yet cold voice. "I see. I'm glad you learned the truth. But don't ever do that again. You had all 13 of us worried you know, whether everyone will admit it or not," Taira said. "Me especially little one," Inari spoke softly. Inari was like a mother figure to Shi, Taira being like a father figure. They were the two Kami's that adapted to Shi right away and always stuck around her when they could. Which, annoyingly enough, was more often than not. "Well, as long as you're all right and don't plan to pull another stunt like that," Ebisu said in a short tone, his eyes serious. Ebisu was like her Uncle almost. Reliable and always there as well. "You gave us a fright. If something happens to you, something happens to us all. If you die, everyone dies. Even Humanity," Jizo spoke softly. "Yeah I know Jizo, which is why I wished to see how Humans were. If they were different... Maybe, just maybe we could end all this senseless slaughtering. But they're not any different. They're just like Demons in a way. Power hunting and seeking with control. They attack and annihilate anything they don't understand. They don't even wish to take the time to begin to understand. They just hide behind their powers, their capabilities, and act out of fear. It's cruel, truly it is. Some of them even hunt for sport." Shi looked down at Masao, smiling softly as he fell asleep on her chest curled up in a ball. "Shi, I don't mean to alarm you. But you mustn't go by the Humans anymore. You know of the Summoner that gets born every 100 years. Well. Those 100 years have been up and I can feel a shift in the power scales. A Summoner is alive again and we have to stay as far away from them as possible. I have no way of determining who is the Summoner or even where they are. I, no. We, the Kami's, can all feel their presence, their existence. They're alive, and from what we can tell, this is the strongest Summoner yet," Taira spoke to Shi seriously. "Yes of course Taira, I understand. We'll do what we always do. Lay low, stay at my cottage. At least until the Summoner dies. I have no desire or intentions to become one of their servants. If that were to happen, I doubt they'd give me a shred of freedom. I don't think I'd be able to actively work with you, I'd become the one thing I don't want to be. Well, two things I suppose. A prisoner and a weapon. A weapon of mass destruction sent to kill the very creatures I am trying to protect. It chills me to my bones that this world would give that much power to a Human. On top of being a Summoner, they are also now born with an additional power or powers to help hide the fact they're a Summoner. It's ridiculous. It's like the Fate's are favouring the Humans," Shi spat out in disgust. Taira nodded slowly as Ebisu and Jizo both left to do their own things, though still very near the cottage. Inari stayed within the cottage though she dematerialized. These four deities in specific were always with Shi as an added layer of protection. Taira is scary enough, but four deities residing with her constantly on good terms? That was just... too scary. "They didn't figure out your identity right, Shi?" She looked at Taira and nodded in confirmation. "Good, let's get to training then," Taira demanded and went outside. He didn't look to see if she'd follow because he knew she would. "Man... I just got home," Shi groaned out but ultimately got up. She undid her cloak and was wearing a baggy black hoodie and black sweats with a pair of black running shoes. She picked her box up and walked outside to meet Taira. She walked over to the open field directly to the right of her cottage. "All right Taira, let's get to it," she spoke before wielding her box. Thus the sparring ensued between Taira and Shi. Ebisu, Jizo, and Inari would come and spar as well. |
