Chapter 4: Kasuga's Rising
"Rain, rain, go away…..You never have the chance to be happy if you focus on your struggles and let them ruin you. Silence can be very peaceful. As you end your relationship with your struggles and pain, you will find peace. Even though people might have not known the struggles she’s been through they see her and have nothing positive to say. Have no feelings for anyone, unkind, harsh, cruel or really just doesn’t care if they leave someone and break their heart. I turned into a robotic shell of myself. My lack of happiness only drives me to succeed more. I seem to have been consumed by the thought that only success and victory will make me happy in the end. And after I climb back into happiness, I’ll wonder why I gave up feeling alive. Through all of this, I'm terrified of true success. I know that often the most successful people come crashing down at some point without any warning, and their careers die. They have become a pitiful, useless ‘empty lighter’. Still, I've been alone and sad as well, and even the things that are supposed to make me feel better don’t. I've done everything in my life to be good. I don’t believe that you really know me, you only think you do. I don’t know the real me. Because if you did, you would know that I'm a free spirit. Once you do something its done. You can get the person you hurt all the money in the world but it still wouldn’t change what you did to them and how they feel about you." Word came out about a maniacal killer name Kasuga, and Great Watch was shocked by this. Then, Kintaro came to see Tsunade Kodoku and the gang. "Tell us what happened, Kintaro." Tsunade said. "Kin, what happened? Tell us, bro! Spill!" Momotaro urged. "Take it easy, Momo." Tsuna said to Momotaro in a soothing tone. "It was a high school reunion for Tamamo Mae, she invited me and Sayo but it turned out to be a massacre...." Kintaro started to say.
"This is where you went to school?" Sayohime asked. Tamamo Mae had an apathetic look on her face, "It was never a school when I was here." She said dully. Kintaro looked at her, "What?" He asked. Tamamo Mae turn off the ignition and unbuckle her seatbelt as she said, "Nothing, let's get this over with." Tamamo Mae got out of the car. There was a bloody pool on the floor; that pool of blood belonged to Naosuke, his body was face down lying there while his killer--an unknown, slender woman in white lingerie--took his blood and wrote something on the floor: KASUGA. Then, the killer left but there was blood on her outfit while she left. Naosuke's body was discovered as it went around the school. The news made Kintaro and Sayohime became suspicious by this. A corpse lying on the bathroom, legs were cut off. The body belongs to Shojo, her killer wore a blue suit and a mask while writing on the mirrors with her blood in the girls room: KASUGA WAS HERE! Then the masked figure left the girls bathroom. Next, another carcass in the librairy whose skin off her back was ripped. That corpse is Shikome, her killer wrote on the floor near Shikome in bloody lettering: KASUGA RULES. The killer let the librairy and cleaned his own body. In the meantime; Konohana stepped onto the grass of the Oban's garden, bringing it to life with trees and flowers. She looked different wearing a leafy looking corset bustier top, a rose skirt with petal leggings. Every plant she touches, the garden becomes in full bloom. "Wow, I'm surprised what you did this to this place." A voice said. Konohana turn around and saw Oinari. "Oh! Hi. Uh, thanks." She bubbled, "I noticed this place needs light in nature." "You're doing good, Mother Nature would be impressed." Oinari said. Konohana blushed, she was on a large wine so he couldn't see her blushing face, "Uh...um.." She stuttered. "Can I see what's up there?" Oinari asked. Konohana look down at him with surprise, "You do?" She said. Lowering the vine; Konohana held out her hand, "Climb on." said Konohana. Oinari took it but he felt like he was being lifted from the ground.
In her anger; Usodori thought about the time she and Tamamo Mae met: It was an ordinary day at work. Usodori was placing boxes in different sections of the receiving room and putting sensors on clothes. While she was doing this, she thought she heard something in the room, suddenly the Wendigos attacked! Usodori was very frightened, the other co workers got away but Usodori was alone and she was attacked by the monsters. Just then, someone crashed in and apprehended them one by one. Rescuing Usodori. There was an ivory-skinned 'angel' with rave hair, but this Snow White archtype was wearing a plaid buttoned shirt that was tied up to show off her skinny belly and ample bosom. She wore mint-green shorts, boots, slender legs look amazing--hairless and perfect. This angel lowered her sunglasses and leaned over at Usodori as she said, "Yo Usodori, come on girly." Confused; Usodori went with this mysterious woman and ride into the road. While riding on the motorcycle with this young lady; the girl mowed down the Wendigos, getting herself and Usodori to safety. Sayohime went into the science room to see the girls depressed, "Howdy ladies." She chirped. "What's with this bull crap?" demanded Issie. "A truce. I think you girls have a lot of weight against each other and need to make amends." explained Sayohime, "How's that?" Muonna shrugged, "Fine." She said. "Whatever." Issie remarked. Jorogumo let out a 'hmph' sound, "As if!" She said. "Suck it." Tamamo Mae spat. Sayohime looked at Jorogumo and Tamamo Mae with disbelief, "Oh, come on. Really?" She said. Jorogumo pointed a red fingernail sharp talon at Tamamo Mae, "You want me to make peace with tart? Absolutely not!" She said. Tamamo Mae rolled her eyes, "This comes from the popular socialite who doesn't know what TRUE suffering is! I'll bet she spends a micro second in prison for driving under the influence, and has oh-so little responsibilities so you're the bi-otch of the decade!" Tamamo Mae said.
"Tamamo Mae!" Sayohime shouted in an irritated voice. Muonna was annoyed, "Fine, I'll do it." She said. "No, you ain't!" Tamamo Mae said, slamming her fist down. "TM--!" Muonna started to say but Tamamo Mae cut her off, "Nobody is, shut up! Shut the front door, PUH-LEEZE!" She exclaimed. Issie couldn't take this anymore, "Excuse me, I want to say something." She said, standing up. "What now? Jorogumo has a home movie?" Tamamo Mae said in a bored voice. Muonna looked at her, "What--?" She asked. Issie and Jorogumo giggled. "No, she doesn't." Issie claimed in between giggles. "No, I don't." claimed Jorogumo. "Yes, she does! Who's banana is it Issie?" Tamamo Mae snapped. Issie was getting annoyed, "Come on, ladies. I have something to say, it's really important." She claimed. But Tamamo Mae wouldn't shut up: "There was a tramp from Pawtucket, whose banana was so long he could slurp it. He said with a grin as he wiped his chin, 'If my ear was a cherry, I would bonk it.'" She recited and laughed in hysterics like a mad woman. Sayohime confronted someone: "You--you are the killer, aren't you?" asked Sayohime. "Indeed I am. Perhaps you should call me--KASUGA!" The figure announced. "What do you want?" demanded Sayohime. "One thing, Justice!" Kasuga replied. Kintaro bursts into the room, "Sayo! We gotta get out of here!" He said. "Why? What's wrong?" questioned Sayohime. "You guys got about 10 seconds, this place is about to blow with explosives!" said Kasuga. Sayohime was shocked so she and Kintaro managed to get out of there before the school erupted into the flames. Kasuga got out of the burning building quicker than Kin and Sayo. It was the most horrible thing, everyone died in the fire of the school. She watched the school burnt into nothing but ashes, "Glory, Glory Hallelujah!" screamed Kasuga. But she got a grip on herself, "May you never be rebuild again." She said.
How did this happen? Let's go back to the beginning, shall we?
Earlier before....
"This is where you went to school?" Sayohime asked. Tamamo Mae had Sayohime and Kintaro in her car for she got invited to the worst reunion ever--Her school. Tamamo Mae had an apathetic look on her face, "It was never a school when I was here." She said dully. Kintaro looked at her, "What?" He asked. Tamamo Mae turn off the ignition and unbuckle her seatbelt as she said, "Nothing, let's get this over with." Tamamo Mae got out of the car. At the reunion; Tamamo Mae was reunited with her favorite teacher name Miss Kodama. But Tamamo Mae was faced with old rivals: The popular, stuck up socialite girl Jorogumo and her posse: Issie, Muonna, Shikome, and Shojo. Then; there was Naosuke, much to Tamamo Mae's dismay. Kintaro and Sayohime noticed Tamamo Mae was shocked, they were beginning to get suspicious. During the celebration reunion party, it becomes worser for Tamamo Mae. One of Jorogumo's friends purposely spilled her drink and Jorogumo called out for Tamamo Mae. Annoyed; Tamamo Mae walked over but slipped the drink and fell down. Jorogumo and her friends laughed, however Sayohime helps Tamamo Mae up. Tamamo Mae was lead away but Jorogumo called out: "Nice day for FALL, huh TM?" The girls and Jorogumo laughed even harder as well as some others. Sayohime glared at them, but once getting away from the mean girls; Sayohime asked, "Are you OK?" "You should've helped, I would have ripped out their throats." Tamamo Mae said, she walked away. Sayohime thought about this school, it was terror and it must have ruined Tamamo Mae's life. Later, there was a bloody pool on the floor; that pool of blood belonged to Naosuke, his body was face down lying there while his killer--an unknown, slender woman in white lingerie--took his blood and wrote something on the floor: KASUGA. Then, the killer left but there was blood on her outfit while she left. Naosuke's body was discovered as it went around the school. The news made Kintaro and Sayohime became suspicious by this. Kintaro had Sayohime to find out on Tamamo Mae and her hatred towards Jorogumo and her friends so much so Sayohime socialized with them while Tamamo Mae was there in the room.
"So Jorogumo, how do you know Tamamo Mae anyway?" Sayohime asked. Jorogumo spoke up: "Oh, that loser? She's such a freak really. I never seen someone freakier than her!" She said snobbily. "Not unless she's a hot to trot." Issie commented. The girls laughed in hysterics, except Tamamo Mae and Sayohime. "I can't believe a freakin' loser like her would be named after a courtesan, she's a bi-otch!" Muonna replied smugly. "I bet she bites people for money." Shojo remarked. The posse and Jorogumo laughed even harder until the queen bee socialite said something she will be punished for, "Oh! How 'bout that mother of hers? I heard she's a randy for sure. I mean no wonder that dad of hers left." Jorogumo jeered. Now they were cracking up, Tamamo Mae lost her tempered and seized Jorogumo by her shoulders screaming: "NOW YOU'VE ASKED FOR IT, YOU BITCH!" Tamamo Mae clawed at Jorogumo and pulled her hair as she shouted, "HOW ABOUT I MAKE YOU PUKE OUT WHAT YOU HAVE FOR BREAKFAST THIS MORNING?! YOUR FACE IS RUINING, HUH YOU SHIT-HEAD, AND YOU AND ME? WE WERE NEVER FRIENDS!!!! YOU MOTHER-HUMPIN' PRINCESS WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TRUE SUFFERING IS, AND YOUR FRIENDS HERE--ISSIE IS A LOCH NESS MONSTER, MUONNA IS A BORNING WANNABE, SHIKOME IS A WILD VAMPIRE MANIAC, AND SHOJO IS A PLAIN, UGLY AND SHE KNOWS IT!!!!" Tamamo Mae got pulled off by Sayohime as Jorogumo screamed back: "I'll sue you, you strumpet! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO STYLE MY HAIR?!" Tamamo Mae could not believe her ears what that girl said, "YOU ARE SELFISH, NO WONDER I HATE YOUR GUTS!!! I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL YOU LOW LIFE SOCIALITE!!!!!" Jorogumo cried as her posse friends comforted her while Sayohime dragged the violent girl out of the room and took out in the hall, "What the hell is wrong with you, Tamamo Mae?"
"If she's gonna insult me fine, but insult my mother? Oh no, then it's time for that tramp to get some serious slapping! And I don't care, I may be a mama's girl but nobody messes with my mom! NOBODY!!!" Tamamo Mae claimed. Sayohime seized her arms, "Tamamo Mae, you need to calm down! Relax!" She scolded. Tamamo Mae pushed her hands, "Get your hands off me! I need to...TAKE A SMOKE! BACK OFF!" She claimed and walked away. Sayohime looked at her, she knew something wasn't around with her. But nobody knew what would happen next. A corpse lying on the bathroom, legs were cut off. The body belongs to Shojo, her killer wore a blue suit and a mask while writing on the mirrors with her blood in the girls room: KASUGA WAS HERE! Then the masked figure left the girls bathroom. Next, another carcass in the librairy whose skin off her back was ripped. That corpse is Shikome, her killer wrote on the floor near Shikome in bloody lettering: KASUGA RULES. The killer let the librairy and cleaned his own body. The school reunion was turning into a disaster, some teachers and students wanted to leave but the principal wouldn't allow it. Kintaro and Sayohime could see this, "This principal must have a tiny brain for letting everyone stay while a killer runs wild around here." Kintaro remarked. "More like a mad, avenging serial killer." corrected Tamamo Mae. Kintaro nodded, "So you find out anything about Tamamo Mae?" He asked. "Oh, Kin! Tamamo Mae is crazy--She round the bend on Jorogumo and her friends." Sayohime reported. "Really? How bad was it?" Kintaro inquired. "Like a brutal catfight, violent insults. Jorogumo started to say something about Tamamo Mae's mother and TM snapped!" explained Sayohime, "Ugh! I'm so glad that I'm done with high school." Kintaro shook his head, "Girls in high school...They have a lot of drama and issues. Glad you weren't like the other girls." He said. "You forget, I'm a lone wolf." flirted Sayohime. "Well, you're a girl. She wolf, perhaps?" Kintaro answered, flirting back. "You know me too well." Sayohime said, she liplocks with Kintaro but pulls away looking all flushing and wondered why the heck Kintaro loves her, even if she's an assassin. She just doesn't get it.
"You got Jorogumo, her posse, and Tamamo Mae together?" asked Kintaro. Sayohime smiled, "They're in the science room--As we speak." She said. Kintaro leaned over and kissed her cheek, "Got get 'em, She Wolf." He said. Sayohime grinned and went into the science room to see the girls depressed, "Howdy ladies." She chirped. "What's with this bull crap?" demanded Issie. "A truce. I think you girls have a lot of weight against each other and need to make amends." explained Sayohime, "How's that?" Muonna shrugged, "Fine." She said. "Whatever." Issie remarked. Jorogumo let out a 'hmph' sound, "As if!" She said. "Suck it." Tamamo Mae spat. Sayohime looked at Jorogumo and Tamamo Mae with disbelief, "Oh, come on. Really?" She said. Jorogumo pointed a red fingernail sharp talon at Tamamo Mae, "You want me to make peace with tart? Absolutely not!" She said. Tamamo Mae rolled her eyes, "This comes from the popular socialite who doesn't know what TRUE suffering is! I'll bet she spends a micro second in prison for driving under the influence, and has oh-so little responsibilities so you're the bi-otch of the decade!" Tamamo Mae said. "Tamamo Mae!" Sayohime shouted in an irritated voice. Muonna was annoyed, "Fine, I'll do it." She said. "No, you ain't!" Tamamo Mae said, slamming her fist down. "TM--!" Muonna started to say but Tamamo Mae cut her off, "Nobody is, shut up! Shut the front door, PUH-LEEZE!" She exclaimed. Issie couldn't take this anymore, "Excuse me, I want to say something." She said, standing up. "What now? Jorogumo has a home movie?" Tamamo Mae said in a bored voice. Muonna looked at her, "What--?" She asked. Issie and Jorogumo giggled. "No, she doesn't." Issie claimed in between giggles. "No, I don't." claimed Jorogumo. "Yes, she does! Who's banana is it Issie?" Tamamo Mae snapped. Issie was getting annoyed, "Come on, ladies. I have something to say, it's really important." She claimed. But Tamamo Mae wouldn't shut up: "There was a tramp from Pawtucket, whose banana was so long he could slurp it. He said with a grin as he wiped his chin, 'If my ear was a cherry, I would bonk it.'" She recited and laughed in hysterics like a mad woman. Angry; Issie broke a beaker, startling everyone. "WHAT THE FRICK?!" Tamamo Mae demanded. "I have something to say, OK?" demanded Issue. "Want to start a riot huh?" Tamamo Mae, tipping over a table. "I can start a riot, bitch!" She shouted. Muonna broke another glass and Jorogumo gleefully knocked the teacher's desk over. "See, she can start a riot! Let's all start a riot against this sump called SCHOOL!" Tamamo Mae cried.
"Tamamo Mae--" Issie started to say. "Wanna start a riot with me, MOTHER HUMPER?!" Tamamo Mae screamed. "TAMAMO MAE SHIMO, SHUT THE FRONT DOOR AND LISTEN TO ME!!!" screamed Issie. But then, she calmed down: "I'm sorry, all right?" said Issie. "I don't believe you, you gotta mean it Beta Bi-otch!" Tamamo Mae claimed, she gets up and stalked away. "Hey, get back here! We're not through yet!" Sayohime called out. Tamamo Mae whirled her head back, "I'M THROUGH WITH ALL OF YOU!!!!" She shouted. And left the science room. Meanwhile; someone was hung up in the janitor's closet, the corpse was bled dried and look like she had been strangled. That body was Muonna, her face was blue and lifelesss from being choked. The killer wrote on the walls in Muonna's blood, "KASUGA LIVES!" and left. A half minute later, Issie's body was found drenched in red. She looked as if she had been killed in a violent manner and on her forehead written in blood that reads, "KASUGA'S REVENGE". Panic aroused in the school, this reunion was becoming more than a disaster--It was becoming really scary, Jorogumo was so scared and Sayohime confronted her to find out what's going on. "What did you do? What did you do to Tamamo Mae?" demanded Sayohime. Jorogumo didn't know what to say, "I bullied her, spread rumors about her, and humiliated her." But Jorogumo looked at her, "Why?" She asked. "I know who the killer is, c'mon!" Sayohime said, pulling her arm but Jorogumo slapped her hand away. "What makes you think I can trust you? I mean, are you a friend of hers? I saw you with her--BTW, who was that hottie you're with? I like to pop my cherry on his brass." Jorogumo said. Sayohime was sickened by this, "Unbelieveable! Tamamo Mae was right, you really are a self-centered, bitchy piece of trash! I hope that serial killer catches up to her!" Sayohime cried, she ran off but after running away; she felt guilty and wondered if she can go back and save her. Just then, there was a scream and Sayohime rushed over but was shocked by Jorogumo's body. She was sporting a grisly, severed slit mouthed grin. Jorogumo was dead, killed by blood loss which is resulted in murder. "Is this who you're looking for?" A sultry voice asked.
Sayohime turned around gasping in fright to see who it is. A figure was exposed shoulders top, a hawk beak helmet that covered half of her face except her red lips are exposed but her lavender eyes were shining through the helmet mask. But her red-orange, curly long hair reached her waist. The figure's attire was a black suit with blue tints, boy was she creepy to look at! "You--you are the killer, aren't you?" asked Sayohime. "Indeed I am. Perhaps you should call me--KASUGA!" The figure announced. "What do you want?" demanded Sayohime. "One thing, Justice!" Kasuga replied. Kintaro bursts into the room, "Sayo! We gotta get out of here!" He said. "Why? What's wrong?" questioned Sayohime. "You guys got about 10 seconds, this place is about to blow with explosives!" said Kasuga. Sayohime was shocked so she and Kintaro managed to get out of there before the school erupted into the flames. Kasuga got out of the burning building quicker than Kin and Sayo. It was the most horrible thing, everyone died in the fire of the school. She watched the school burnt into nothing but ashes, "Glory, Glory Hallelujah!" screamed Kasuga. But she got a grip on herself, "May you never be rebuild again." She said. In the meantime; Konohana stepped onto the grass of the Oban's garden, bringing it to life with trees and flowers. She looked different wearing a leafy looking corset bustier top, a rose skirt with petal leggings. Every plant she touches, the garden becomes in full bloom. "Wow, I'm surprised what you did this to this place." A voice said. Konohana turn around and saw Oinari. "Oh! Hi. Uh, thanks." She bubbled, "I noticed this place needs light in nature." "You're doing good, Mother Nature would be impressed." Oinari said. Konohana blushed, she was on a large wine so he couldn't see her blushing face, "Uh...um.." She stuttered. "Can I see what's up there?" Oinari asked. Konohana look down at him with surprise, "You do?" She said. Lowering the vine; Konohana held out her hand, "Climb on." said Konohana.
Oinari took it but he felt like he was being lifted from the ground. "Whoa...." He said. Konohana giggles while up they went. Oinari looked around him, "We're so high up." He said. "I know, this is my favorite part." Konohana agreed. She spread her fingers apart at some roses buds that bloom into full roses. "Nice, you got a green thumb." commented Oinari. "Thank you." Konohana said, looking shy. Those two were lying next to each other but Konohana couldn't understand why Oinari would be interested her. "Um, Oinari? Why--uh...Out of all people, why are you interest in me?" Konohana asked. Oinari looked away, glancing up at the sun rays from the ceiling windows. "I thought you were different. Underneath that bubbly, naive, and lonely persona; you were something special." He explained. Konohana grinned, "How sweet. No guy has ever sad that." She gushed a little. But then, Konohana asked softly: "Can you hold my hand please?" Oinari was surprised, he looked over at her and said, "OK." He reached over and took her hand. "Whoa...." He said. Konohana giggles while up they went. Oinari looked around him, "We're so high up." He said. "I know, this is my favorite part." Konohana agreed. She spread her fingers apart at some roses buds that bloom into full roses. "Nice, you got a green thumb." commented Oinari. "Thank you." Konohana said, looking shy. They were looking at how beautiful the garden it is. However, they hardly said much to each other. But Konohana glanced at him for a moment before opening her mouth. "Um, Oinari? Can I asked you something?" She asked. "Anything." Oinari said. "Why--uh, out of all people...I mean, why are you interested in me?" asked Konohana nervously. Oinari looked at her and glanced at the sun rays for a moment from the ceiling windows. "I thought you were different. Underneath that bubbly, naive persona; you were something special." He said. Konohana was touched, she begins to blush again: "How sweet. No guy has ever said that." She said. Then she said, "Can you hold my hands?" Oinari looked at her, he glance at her: "Sure." He said. He reached over and took her hand. "Wow." breathed Oinari, "So soft." "Thanks, its nectar with honeysuckle." Konohana said. But they came a little closer, their lips were about to touch as if they were going to kiss.... "OOOH! Look at this!" A voice squealed.
Oinari and Konohana pulled away and looked down to see Usodori skipping happily as she can be around the the lively garden. "WOW! This garden is alive, it was once dead but look at it now--Now it's plentiful!" She said. Konohana gave the annoyed Oinari an apologetic look, she then went down the vine-like steps while he followed behind her. "You like it Usodori?" asked Konohana, "I try to make it more beautiful!" "Well, you did splendid. Oh, hi Oinari!" Usodori greeted. She was so excited that she bounced like a bubble that never popped. But noticed Oinari's irritated face, "Are you OK?" Usodori asked. "I would if I had some alone time with Hana." grumbled Oinari. Usodori was surprised and guilty, "OMG! Am I interrupting? Oh crap, I'm so sorry. You want me to go?" Usodori asked politely. "No, no, no. It's fine, you're fine." claimed Konohana. Oinari still looked grumpy so Usodori came over and made a silly face at him. "What are you doing?" Oinari asked. "Trying to cheer you up, come on. I see a grin on your face." Usodori said in a playful tone. "How did you get to be so retarded?" Oinari said in a snarky voice. Usodori was hurt by this, "I hate you." She said. And then she stalked away with rage. In her anger; Usodori thought about the time she and Tamamo Mae met: It was an ordinary day at work. Usodori was placing boxes in different sections of the receiving room and putting sensors on clothes. While she was doing this, she thought she heard something in the room, suddenly the Wendigos attacked! Usodori was very frightened, the other co workers got away but Usodori was alone and she was attacked by the monsters. Just then, someone crashed in and apprehended them one by one. Rescuing Usodori. There was an ivory-skinned 'angel' with rave hair, but this Snow White archtype was wearing a plaid buttoned shirt that was tied up to show off her skinny belly and ample bosom. She wore mint-green shorts, boots, slender legs look amazing--hairless and perfect. This angel lowered her sunglasses and leaned over at Usodori as she said, "Yo Usodori, come on girly." Confused; Usodori went with this mysterious woman and ride into the road. While riding on the motorcycle with this young lady; the girl mowed down the Wendigos, getting herself and Usodori to safety. Once in a safe environment, the mysterious girl introduces herself as Tamamo Mae Shimo--She was sent by Great Watch's head chief Tsunade Kodoku to come and help her out.
Then, Usodori begin to talk to herself quietly so nobody can hear her: "Rain, rain, go away…..You never have the chance to be happy if you focus on your struggles and let them ruin you. Silence can be very peaceful. As you end your relationship with your struggles and pain, you will find peace. Even though people might have not known the struggles she’s been through they see her and have nothing positive to say. Have no feelings for anyone, unkind, harsh, cruel or really just doesn’t care if they leave someone and break their heart. Lacking courage or enthusiasm, spiritless, disheartened. Basically someone who is very evil and mean. And that's what she is...Is it fair enough to whether living an typical, overlooked life? Do I need to pretend to be something I'm not? I've turned into a robotic shell of myself. My lack of happiness only drives me to succeed more. I seem to have been consumed by the thought that only success and victory will make me happy in the end. And after I climb back into happiness, I’ll wonder why I gave up feeling alive. Through all of this, I'm terrified of true success. I know that often the most successful people come crashing down at some point without any warning, and their careers die. They have become a pitiful, useless ‘empty lighter’. Still, I've been alone and sad as well, and even the things that are supposed to make me feel better don’t. I've done everything in my life to be good. I don’t believe that you really know me, you only think you do. I don’t know the real me. Because if you did, you would know that I'm a free spirit. Once you do something its done. You can get the person you hurt all the money in the world but it still wouldn’t change what you did to them and how they feel about you." For the time being; Word came out about a maniacal killer name Kasuga, and Great Watch was shocked by this. Then, Kintaro came to see Tsunade Kodoku and the gang. "Tell us what happened, Kintaro." Tsunade said. "Kin, what happened? Tell us, bro! Spill!" Momotaro urged. "Take it easy, Momo." Tsuna said to Momotaro in a soothing tone. "It was a high school reunion for Tamamo Mae, she invited me and Sayo but it turned out to be a massacre...." Kintaro started to say. Once he told the entire story; everyone was shocked.
"So, that's it. A vengeful killing spree." Tsunade said, she was unsurprise by this. Kintaro nodded and Sayohime spoke up: "Yes. It's frightening to see all that. That Kasuga, she likes to see the injustice get their just desserts." She remarked. Tsunade looked over at Kintaro, "You know anything about Tamamo Mae?" She asked. "No, but I know who Kasuga is..." Kintaro started to say. But then Usodori burst into the room, "TSUNADE!!!!" She cried. Everyone jumped, Tsunade glanced at her: "Yes, Usodori?" She asked. "Come quick everyone, it's Tamamo Mae! She's having a brekdown and her clothes as well as her hair were burnt slighlt but she's alive." claimed Usodori. Immediately, they rush out to find Tamamo Mae being escorted by Kincho and Hangaku: "FIRE, OH THE FIRE!!!" She screamed. Kintaro helped her up when she almost fell over, "Tamamo Mae, you OK?" He asked. Tamamo Mae panted and wheezed of coughing, "Yes, I--My god! Kasuga--She's insane my beloved school! Oh!" She said in between gasps and coughing. Hangaku patted her arm, "Take it easy, shh!" She said, stroking her hair and hugging her. "You're alive, that's all that matters. Calm down." Kincho assured her. "Yeah, still..." Tamamo Mae said sadly. Konohana appeared, "Tamamo Mae, is that you?" She asked. "Konohana! Oh my god, I'm so glad to see you!" Tamamo Mae said with relief, hugging her so much that Konohana was startled. Konohana felt pity for her, "It's OK, Tamamo Mae. It's OK." She said, comforting her crying. Later on; Tamamo Mae applied aloe vera cream to her burns and cut the ends of her burnt hair. She heard someone come in, it was Kincho: "Not bad, Tamamo Mae. Not bad." He remarked. "Says you." Tamamo Mae said, "Ugh, can you believe the agents such as Kintaro and Sayohime? They're so jittery, especially Oinari and Konohana. Goodness, that dear sweet girl--She smelled good, like baby powder with musky and tropical scent. Shoot me, I sound like a Sapphic." "Yeah, tell us something we don't know." Hangaku replied, rolling her eyes." Tamamo Mae begins to calm down, "OK, Calm down. Let's think of that happy place yes? Rainbows, sunshine, sweet kittens, bunnies, and summer. Hot heat, ice cream--chocolate, hotels by the beaches, no Great Watch agents..." She said. Again, the images of all the agents looking at her as she had embraced Konohana. She could see them all: Konohana included, Oinari, Kintaro, Sayohime, Tsuna, Momotaro, Kincho and Hangaku.
These mental images overwhelmed her so much it made Tamamo Mae's heart pounding, loud for her to hear. Adrenaline skating down her arms along with goosebumps. "AAAHHHH!" screeched Tamamo Mae. Hangaku felt like she woke up instantly by a bad dream, that vixen was one insane kitty. "Is she going insane?" Kincho asked seriously. "Yup." Hangaku replied. "No surprise." remarked Kincho. Hangaku looked at him with curiousity, "Has she always been like this?" She inquired. "When it comes to her obsessions, it's never good." explained Kincho. "Yeah obsessions, did you see the way she hugged Konohana? What do they call it...Sapphic?" Hangaku said. "No, she's not Sapphic. She's AC-DC, she's interested in both males and females." corrected Kincho. Hangaku's eyes widened, "Wow." She said. "I can't get those bastards out of my head, how hard is to get rid of these images?" wondered Tamamo Mae. "How long can you keep playing like this? I know you got an obsession for them though they have something going on." Kincho asked. Tamamo Mae thought for a moment but then she suddenly looked shocked and then a smile appeared on her face. "I have an idea on how to make my STALKER GAME interesting." She said. Hangaku grimaced, "Oh great, I'm afraid of what she has in store in that mentally shattered, traumatized cerebrum of hers." She remarked. In the meantime, Kintaro was watching the news on his computer about the school's rebuilding is impossible to do since the burnt pieces were hot to touch. Momotaro, friends and comrades gathered around him. "You're still going on about that? C'mon bro. Let it go, it's over." Momotaro said. Kintaro turned to his friends, "I don't think you guys get it, something was troubling with that vixen. And then murders around the school of the reunion. It was a horror event, but Sayohime saw much violent Tamamo Mae is, and how she spew so much hatred from that mouth of hers!" He said. "I bet it's stress, she didn't mean it!" Konohana suggested. "How do you know? You don't know, she's insane!" claimed Kintaro, slamming a fist down. Momotaro looked at his brother, "Kin--!" He started to say, Kintaro stood up immediately and slammed both hands on the desk, "She's Kasuga, why do think Tamamo Mae's always disappearing? The vehement behavior? It all makes sense!" He exclaimed. Tsuna put a hand on his best friend's shoulder. "Kin-chan, listen! We don't know that, maybe Tamamo Mae had to use the bathroom or something. Don't jump to conclusions all right?" He said. Kintaro turned to his best friend, "I know the truth." He said.
Just then, a voice startled everyone in the room: "Well, well, paranoid aren't we Kinny?" a voice said. From above, Tamamo Mae was standing there looking down at the gang. "I heard the whole thing. You really think I'm Kasuga? You're a paranoid, crazy young man, I love it but I'm hurt by your words. Here's how you can make up for it...Fight me, boy." She dared. Kintaro looked at her with a squinty glare. "Aww, Kin baby's scared of me? Don't worry, I won't hurt you--" mocked Tamamo Mae, then she did a hand stand on the bars and did an aerial flip before landing among the gang, who jumped back startled, as she said: "--I just want to whoop ass you to the ground! How 'bout it?" Kin knew where this was going, "What do you want?" He asked. "I have a few conditions, if you beat me; you have your victor for now but if I win, you have to apologize and also..." explianed Tamamo Mae. But she stopped and looked over at Oinari with a lecherous glance, confusing the latter, "I like to ask Oinari out on a date." She announced. Hangaku gasped, Oinari is shocked as well as Konohana. "Um, what was that last part?" Oinari asked. Konohana was jealous by this, "He doesn't accept, Tamamo Mae. I mean, he doesn't want to go out with...Ah!" She said but was dragged away by Oinari, who said, "Can you excuse us for a moment?" The two of them left the room for a moment. Konohana had to talk some sense into him, "Scandalous, you can't be serious can you Oinari? It's a trick, a dirty trick!" She said in a convincing tone. Oinari sighed, "I have to do it." He said. "What?!" gasped Konohana. "That's the bet and I can't back out." Oinari replied. Konohana couldn't believe he said that, "Oinari, I....Mmmph!" She protested before she pouted and followed Oinari. "I have to, even if I don't want to. Believe me, Hana, I really don't want to go on this date with her." Oinari claimed. Konohana nodded, they return to where everyone was. "All right, have you reconsidered? You gonn ask me or what, you brooding bad boy?" Tamamo Mae asked, shaking her hips side to side. Oinari sighed, he took a breath and inquired, "Tamamo Mae...Would you go out with me?" An impish look appeared on Tamamo Mae's face, "Sure my dark angel of shadows, I'd be happy to--If I win!" She claimed. Then, she giggled happily with excitement. "This is gonna be fun!" Tamamo Mae said. She and Kintaro begin to spare with Kintaro, who did good but Tamamo Mae was a lot faster and much more quicker. She managed to defeat him easily after a few rounds.
"Ha-ha, I won!" cheered Tamamo Mae, she turned to Kintaro and held out her hand towards Kintaro. Kintaro took it and the vixen helped her up. "That was pretty good. Oh, that reminds me....." She said. Eagerly, Tamamo Mae turned to Oinari, "You know what that means, right Oinari my darling? You and I are going out!" She said in a sing song tone. Oinari is not too thrilled to hear this, "Yes." He said. Tamamo Mae pumped her fists up and down, "Yes, knew it!" She shouted with joy. "No." Konohana said, tears welling in her eyes. Hangaku and Kincho were shocked by this. "I can't believe she did that." Hangaku said. Oinari wore a sut with a neck tie with shiny black shoes. He waited for Tamamo Mae, tapping his foot. "I hope she's late for this date." said Oinari to himself. Just then, someone tapped Oinari on the shoulder. He was expecting Tamamo Mae but it wasn't sure. It was Konohana and boy was she pretty. What she wore was a peasant print dress with ribbon lace bust, lace-up corset bodice, lace-up back and accordion pleated chiffon underskirt. "Konohana, is that you?" asked Oinari. Konohana smiled, "Yup. How do you like my outfit?" She said. Oinari is spellbound, "You look great, but what are you doing?" He asked. "You know, if that vixen doesn't show up; I can fill in for her." suggested Konohana, winking at him. Oinari grinned but he wasn't sure, "I don't know, I--" He started to say. "Oh, O-inari!" Tamamo Mae's voice called out, it sounded sing-song tone. Tamamo Mae looked a lot prettier than Konohana! Her dress was powder blue with lurex stitched damask print, double layer tulle circle skirt, chiffon off-shoulder straps and lace-up back. "Your vixen has arrive, you ready Mr. Brooding? This date is gonna rock!" exclaimed Tamamo Mae. Oinari sighed, "Wish me luck." He said dully. "Luck." said Konohana. But she was frustrated and uses her shapeshifting abilities to spy on Oinari. The more she observes him with Tamamo Mae, the more she can feel herself not admitting to anyone but herself...She's starting to fall in love with him.
While on the date; Tamamo Mae gets to know Oinari, where his clan of Dragon Sons was sailing one day when a bunch of deadly sirens of the sea wreck their ship and devoured the entire clan. Only Oinari, Kincho, and their sensei Takumi survived. Tamamo Mae was surprised to hear this, the story makes her shivered but nevertheless she was OK. Underneath a cherry blossom tree; that is where Tamamo Mae kisses Oinari but Oinari ends the date as he can't seemed to get his mind off Konohana. Watching from afar; Konohana was touched by this. Instead of getting upset; Tamamo Mae was disappointed but she understood. Konohana was shocked by Tamamo Mae however she feels sorry for her. But when Wendigos attacked, Konohana is in trouble and Oinari could hear her in distress and saves her as the two of them took down the monsters together. Their tension after Oinari liplock kisses her, unknown to the kissing couple that they were being photographed on camera. Then someone took that picture and pulled out her cell-phone. "Mission completed--Operation: Kiss and Couple has been successful." texted a young lady. Then she went away, disappearing into the night. The next morning, Konohana was the first to wake up and find her shirt on the floor. She sneaks away as she puts it on. The next minute she is washing dishes when someone came behind her and wrapped his arms around her. "Morning, did you get a good night sleep?" asked Konohana. Oinari kissed her cheek, "More like best night, you are so good." He said. "Maybe that's not why you fell in love with me." Konohana teased. The two of them laughed. Then there was a snapshot sound that made Oinari and Konohana turn around but nobody was there. Someone held a camera, hiding in her room. She heads to her room where her computer is. She links her computer, the two images appear on the computer. A grin appeared on her maroon lipsticked mouth and she giggled excitedly, "Oh yes." She said. Pictures under lock and key as a copy of the pictures are placed among a massive collage hiddin in her room. A scary, deadly obsession. Something creeping under the skin of a kind, eccentric young woman who is a codependant, bewitched, and unhinged vixen.
Then, the vixen researches on the agents of GW: Kintaro came fromm a normal home life but his cousin Shippeitaro was adopted of a young age because his parents were brutally murdered. Kincho's parents died and angst about his life as a ronin. Tsuna is the adoptive son of a mob enforcer while enduring abuse. His father's a part of the criminal underground, and when he comes home; Tsuna's foster dad starts in on him. Meanwhile his adoptive mother just ignores him. Mostly he goes to his aunt and uncle's house, who are kind to him. Oinari had a mother who never told her husband that he was a father, instead keeping him in the dark until she was arrested, and Oinari came to see his father but his dad was not thrilled. So far it's been emotional abuse, with Oinari's father ignoring his son at every corner. Hangaku has a dark troubling past where she is the daughter of a mob boss. And lastly. Konohana had to leave home, because a tragedy caused her to move from her country home with her so-called adoptive parents.
