Chapter 2: Confessions of a Moonstruck Dipsomaniac
"Once upon a time, a princess had it all but her father--the king--was a mean person who lashed physically at his wife, the queen, and the princess, his daughter. Physical. Mental. Emotional. You have no idea how much pain it was towards the queen and princess. Finally the queen had enough and left her abusive husband behind forever with the princess. But this fairy tale has no happy ending...Hell, there's no happy ending in life. At all! Towns are often divided by train tracks, one side is dangerous and bad to cross over. Part of the town is crumbling, the bridge has not been maintained because of apathy for funds. Imagine you've grown tired, give up on your hopes and aspirations; someone will come to you and say to you that they'll grant you any wish. Then, all of your dreams as well as possibilities come back to you but as viable options. This person is not a good soul at all, they don't wander around to help people with their lives--They have a dark side to themselves that they won't revealed until it's too late. They'll indulged in what we consume nothing to fulfull our needs. We are kept happy with money but that's not enough. These people are shady, sardonic. They represent temptation so much more for a stranger to wonder about and helping people. They are charming and calculated but behind the curtain, they are orchestrating such evil. They represent temptation so much more for a stranger to wonder about and helping people. They are charming and calculated but behind the curtain, they are orchestrating such evil. Chained in the burning lake? That sure was worse. What if the breath that kindled those grim fires? Awakened, should blow the inter sevenfold rage and plunge us into flames or from above? Should intermitted vengeance arm again his red right hand to plague us?"
That night; Tamamo Mae had a dream that there were crazy people on their hands and knees with their right hands stained with the red paint color as they splattered a large parchment of paper on the floor. They did it over and over again, never stopping over and over again with eccentric, mad grins on their faces. In the daylight; Tamamo Mae hummed to herself while she bustled around with bread, meats, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo or mustard as TM made three different sandwiches of turkey, salami, and ham. The types of cheese are provolone, chedder, and Swiss but she added a slip of extremely hot chili peppers and garlic in the sandwiches. Once that was done, after she added other sauces on each of the sandwich to cover them up the garlic and hot peppers. Then, she made soups that were tomato based and mushroom looking with tomato, onions, garlic, and hot peppers in a tomato based while carrots, potato, garlic, and chili peppers. Finished with making sandwich; Tamamo Mae disguised herself as a delivery girl to deliver the foods to Okiku Samon, Osode and Tamiya Iemon. Then, she leaves with a smile on her face. "Feel the burn, Okiku, for hell hath has no fury like a daughter scorned." thought Tamamo Mae to herself. Depressed and haunted by memories of fire, ritual, dead bodies, blood drinking, and branded whips against bare flesh; TM starts drinking while driving her car but she became so intoxicated that she drove off a cliff to her supposed doom. Little did she know, a couple who were taking a walk witnessed the vehicle going off the edge! The woman of the couple rescued the unconscious, intoxicated Tamamo Mae with her lover. This woman is young, thought her boyfriend was a handsome adult-looking guy. She has blue eyes and short reddish auburn hair. She has a rather shapely figure and wears a strapless day dress over leggings and has gloves and boots.
This woman is known as Otohime Toyotama while her boyfriend has collar length golden brown hair and a well toned figure with an indigo shirt, cobalt pants, and brown shoes. Tamamo Mae was having a nightmare, a memory from her past. It was chanting while stirring in her sleep. She could hear her memories of the black cloaked demon masks figures as they were saying prayers in monotones. As they were chanting; some sort of lava begin to bubble up and a portal opens as the sounds of screeching could be heard. Then, Tamamo Mae woke up screaming: "THE POWER OF GOD COMPELS YOU!!!!" She panted and panted but looked around the room to find herself in a cheery, peach colored room with a white bed and a light pink furniture. Tamamo Ma stood out of the bed and leaves the room while stumbling down the stairs. She found Otohime cooking and bustling in the kitchen. Usodori is a highly functioned autistic youthful girl. As a child, she hated one thing: Loud noises and she always have to cover her ears, scream, or cry. After the event was over; Usodori was feel emotionally drained and traumatized from the experience. Although a grown woman; Usodori's appearance of youthfulness hasn't changed so much! For as long as Usodori could remember; she loved anime and manga since she was around 7 years old. Usodori was so incentive that she created her own creation of a light novel. Usodori fanatized of being praised for her success and Usodor is in awed over that but sometimes she has a dark fantasy of being laughed at and her story being dissed for being a 'lackluster'. So, Usodori wrote something unique in it about the trio encountering an innocent girl who turns out to be some sort of crazy, fan obsessed person. "Hello there! You hungry? Just making food." Otohime greeted. Tamamo Mae moaned, "I don't think I need food now." She said in a tired voice while clutching her head. Otohime leaned over at her, "Listen, you're lucky to be alive and recovering a drunk driving accident. Why don't you give yourself a break and eat something, all right?" She said.
Tamamo Mae rolled her eyes, "Fine!" She said in defeat. Otohime tapped loudly on the counter while smiling with relief, "Thank you! Gracias! Merci! Muy bien!" She said and turned back to the pans and stoves. Tamamo Mae was annoyed, "You always help the people who've been driving under the influence?" She asked. "Only those with hangovers." Otohime said with a grin. Tamamo Mae smiled with no humor, "OK, let's get one thing straight--I'm not a boozer or a dipsomaniac. I just had one drink." She said. "I didn't say you were but you need something." Otohime said. Then she mentioned something, "By the way, what's with you talking in your sleep? You were saying, 'The power of God compels you' and 'Begone Lucifer, your kind doesn't belong here'. What was all that about? Care to tell me?" Tamamo Mae stripped off her top and turned around to reveal the keloid scars on her back. Urashima Taro is horrified. His girlfriend knocked on the door and came in but was shocked to see the scars on TM's back. Shaken; Otohime was shocked by this and feels something wet in her irises. "What the hell did those people do to you and your mother? Who were these monsters?" Otohime asked with tears in her eyes. Later on; Urashima Taro is alone while recording notes he discovered: "Tamamo Mae is an emotionally disturbed young lady who is overprotective of her mother and TM has an infatuation for both sexes--feminine and masculine--while dealing with traumatized memories of her past. She deals with pain by theuse of alcohol to drown her sorrows and anxiety. As I ancipated, she gets drunk and berates her loved ones; except her mother. Stress, pain, and abuse. It is a cycle and it must be stopped." "Let me tell you my name, I am Urashima Taro Sakata." Urashima Taro said. Tamamo Mae looked at him with shock, "You bastard, I trusted you--" She replied, rising up from the chair. But Urashima held up his hands, "Hold on, let me explain. Sit, please." He said. Tamamo Mae looked at him and sat back down. Urashima Taro took a deep breath before explaining: "I didn't say anything to my nephew or his friends, Kin and Momo don't know about it." Tamamo Mae looked at him, "Why are you saying this?" She asked.
"Because I was once a friend of Okiku." Urashima Taro said. Tamamo Mae looked horrified as Urashima continued to tell the story, "After discovering what she done, I ended our friendship. How could she--Innocent people. They were innocent people but she has no remorse. She didn't care, I hope she goes to hell when her reign is over." He was shaking his head with terror. Tamamo Mae looked at him, "Osode and Tamiya were involved as well." She said. Urashima Taro looked up at her, "Osode Iemon? Tamiya? I should've known!" He hissed. Tamamo Mae grinned sardonically, "Three times the charm for hell hath no fury for a crestfallen girl and daughter right?" She asked. Urashima Taro smirked with no humor, "Hmph." He said. It was all so quiet until Tamamo Mae asked, "Can I ask you a favorite? Do you know where I can find Aoyama Tessan?" Usodori got mad, she then slapped the alcoholic drink and started on Tamamo Mae: "ARE YOU DRUNK?! WHY DO I FEEL SO SCARED AND UNCOMFORTABLE AROUND YOU?! YOU DRINK AND DRINK WHILE I MAIMED OF EVERY BLADE SHARP ENOUGH AGAINST MY FLESH! I'M FAT, I LOOK LIKE CRAP, AND IT'S YOU WHO I HATE!!!! I'M MOVING OUT AND I WANT TO GO HOME!" She screamed. And stormed away, Tamamo Mae is shocked by this as she bowed her head. Later; Tamamo Mae was on the roof. She looked like she wanted to join and Otohime came onto the roof to see her. "Tamamo Mae?" asked Otohime. "Just go away!" Tamamo Mae called out. Otohime step forward, "Don't do this, are you OK?" She begged. But Tamamo Mae begin to cry, "She hates me, I killed the most revolting people that pawed her pretty, itty bitty soft skin! AND SHE HATES ME!!! I'M DEAD TO HER, I'M FRIGGIN' LOSING MY SANITY!!!" "Gotcha!" said Urashima Taro, pulling her up. Tamamo Mae begin to struggle and screaming, "BASTARD, I HATE YOU! WHY WON'T YOU LET ME GO?!" Urashima held her up and on the roof when they got back, "Take it easy, easy!" He said. Otohime looked on until Vasilissa came on the roof and held her hand towards Tamamo Mae, "Are you OK?" She asked. Tamamo Mae looked at her, "What?" "You look so upset, I want to know if you need someone to help you." Vasilissa said. Tamamo Mae was confused by this, but she was knocked out by a tranquilizer. And she was knocked out.
She woke up in the medical hospital and is visited by Kintaro, Tamamo Mae is shocked to see him: "Kin? No...No, go away...Go away! I am not to be forgiven!" Tamamo Mae rasped emotionally. Kintaro held her hand, "Shh, I already know why you're doing this. It's a curse in the blood, right?" He said. "You don't get it....Never mind, just go." Tamamo Mae said. Kintaro shook his head, "Can't. Got a change of heart." He said. Tamamo Mae banged her hand against the medical cot, "Shit." She muttered. And leaned her head back on the pillow. In the suburbs, on this street is a quiet life here. There lying in a garden of roses, lilies, daffodils, daisies, and pansies is a 16 year old girl name Alyssa Osheen. Alyssa is a naive, bubbly, and sweet girl living in the suburbs of her ordinary life. Alyssa lives with her henpecked father, her materialistic mother, and has no siblings. But there was something else she has: Friends. Her friends are Bradamante, Griffayn, Walwein, Kalerot, and and her boyfriend, Alec is the best thing that has ever happened to her.
How did this happen? Let's go back to the beginning, shall we?
Earlier before....
Usodori is well known with Tsunade Kodoku for some reason. Her father, Ogiwara Shinnojo, while her relatives are Aunt Tatsuta Bosatsu, Uncle Hiruko, and her cousins: Kushinada, Marici, and Jizo Bosatsu. She was having a cheeseburger and fries but she is troubled with thoughts of Tamamo Mae and her drinking. In the meantime; Tamamo Mae hummed to herself while she bustled around with bread, meats, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo or mustard as TM made three diferent sandwiches of turkey, salami, and ham. The types of cheese are provolone, chedder, and Swiss but she added a slip of extremely hot chili peppers and garlic in the sandwiches. Once that was done, after she added other sauces on each of the sandwich to cover them up the garlic and hot peppers. Then, she made soups that were tomato based and mushroom looking with tomato, onions, garlic, and hot peppers in a tomato based while carrots, potato, garlic, and chili peppers. Finished with making sandwich; Tamamo Mae disguised herself as a delievery girl to deliever the foods to Okiku Samon, Osode and Tamiya Iemon. Then, she leaves with a smile on her face. "Feel the burn, Okiku, for hell hath has no fury like a daughter scorned." thought Tamamo Mae to herself. But what haunts her most is the guilty she feels for what she did to poor Usodori: "Are you OK, TM?" Usodori asked in a timid tone. "What do you think, Usodori? Can't you see I'm having a hard time?" Tamamo Mae asked, drunk out of her mind. "Sorry." Usodori apologized. Tamamo Mae laughed, "You're so pathetic! Look at you, you look like crap! Your hair looks like you haven't brushed it in a while. Your boobs are sagging, you walk so slow like an old lady!!!" She shouted. Usodori was surprised to hear this, "I--" She started to say however Tamamo Mae continued, "If you keep eating crappy junk, you're gonna be fat." She said in a slurred tone. Usodori begins to break down in tears, "AUGH, YOU'RE DRUNK OK? YOU ARE AND I HATE IT WHEN YOU ARE!!!!"
Depressed and haunted by memories of fire, ritual, dead bodies, blood drinking, and branded whips against bare flesh; TM starts drinking while driving her car but she became so intoxicated that she drove off a cliff to her supposed doom. Little did she know, a couple who were taking a walk witnessed the vehicle going off the edge! The woman of the couple rescued the unconscious, intoxicated Tamamo Mae with her lover. This woman is young, thought her boyfriend was a handsome adult-looking guy. She has blue eyes and short reddish auburn hair. She has a rather shapely figure and wears a strapless day dress over leggings and has gloves and boots. This woman is known as Otohime Toyotama while her boyfriend has collar length golden brown hair and a well toned figure with an indigo shirt, cobalt pants, and brown shoes. His name is Urashima Taro, a therapist who helps troubled people. "Hey, can you hear me? Are you OK?" Otohime called out. Tamamo Mae muttered out one word, "The power of God compels you..." She said. Otohime and Urashima exchanged glances at one another. "She's hallucinating, it must be dehydration. Let's get her back." Urashima Taro said. "Right." Otohime confirmed. They carried her away but they heard her talking in her sleep: "Begone Lucifer...You are no longer welcomed here." Later; Tamamo Mae was having a nightmare, a memory from her past. It was chanting while stirring in her sleep. She could hear her memories of the black cloaked demon masks figures as they were saying prayers in monotones: "Day, day of educed ashes witness the devil with the fear what there to the defender to come stictly day to day. Holy Demon King! Devil Lord of Hosts. Come Demon King, Come Demon King! Hail Demon King, Hail Demon King! The heavens are yours is the earth, Hail Demon King. Easterly eternal light, Lucifer and justice come. Seated in darkness and the shadow of death; to Demon King, giver of youth and happiness, come almighty eternal devil. Devil, set a guard!" As they were chanting; some sort of lava begin to bubble up and a portal opens as the sounds of screeching could be heard.
Then, Tamamo Mae woke up screaming: "THE POWER OF GOD COMPELS YOU!!!!" She panted and panted but looked around the room to find herself in a cheery, peach colored room with a white bed and a light pink furniture. Tamamo Mae stood out of the bed and leaves the room while stumbling down the stairs. She found Otohime cooking and bustling in the kitchen. She noticed Tamamo Mae was walking to the chairs near the counter, who groaned slightly. "Hello there! You hungry? Just making food." Otohime greeted in a chippy tone. Tamamo Mae moaned, "I don't think I need food now." She said in a tired voice while clutching her head. Otohime leaned over at her, "Listen, you're lucky to be alive and recovering a drunk driving accident. Why don't you give yourself a break and eat something, all right?" She said. Tamamo Mae rolled her eyes, "Fine!" She said in defeat. Otohime tapped loudly on the counter while smiling with relief, "Thank you! Gracias! Merci! Muy bien!" She said and turned back to the pans and stoves. Tamamo Mae was annoyed, "You always help the people who've been driving under the influence?" She asked. "Only those with hangovers." Otohime said with a grin. Tamamo Mae smiled with no humor, "OK, let's get one thing straight--I'm not a boozer or a dipsomaniac. I just had one drink." She said. "I didn't say you were but you need something." Otohime said. Then she mentioned something, "By the way, what's with you talking in your sleep? You were saying, 'The power of God compels you' and 'Begone Lucifer, your kind doesn't belong here'. What was all that about? Care to tell me?" Tamamo Mae can see the images in her mind again as she muttered to herself, "Nothing...it's nothing." Urashima Taro is intrigued by this girl for some reason and decided to do a therapy sessions. "Can you tell me about yourself? Maybe your past, perhaps?" Urashima Taro asked. Tamamo Mae looked away, "I don't know, I have a lot of demons--Personal demons from Hell." She said. Somehow this seemed familiar to him, "Personal demons...Hell.....Could you tell me more?" Urashima asked. "It's disturbing." warned Tamamo Mae. "Tell me anyway." Urashima said gently. Tamamo Mae slowly turned to him and said something that made Urashima's skin crawl: "Wanna hear a story? It's a scary tale and it's full of horrors that's worser than a horror flick."
Then, Tamamo Mae then begin her story: "Once upon a time, a princess had it all but her father--the king--was a mean person who lashed physically at his wife, the queen, and the princess, his daughter. Physical. Mental. Emotional. You have no idea how much pain it was towards the queen and princess. Finally the queen had enough and left her abusive husband behind forever with the princess. But this fairy tale has no happy ending...Hell, there's no happy ending in life. At all! The princess and the queen came across an empress that the queen and princess known for awhile as well as the duke and duchess. It seemed all too innocent in a housing place as well as a school too. However; the empress, the duchess and the duke had forced them into a ceremonial demoniac maltreatment of blood drinking, submit ourselves to sick bastards for 'favors' and other horrors. The poor princess traumatized badly, the empress and the duchess betrayed the queen as well. However, one day; the princess found Heaven's light through a prince with dark blue hair. But this peasant girl...Something about her seemed to intrigued the beauty of her...Her pink hair...they borht seemed to be on her mind. And she loved the prince and the peasant girl. But then, the prince was in love with the peasant girl and the princess was heartbroken but nevertheless, she lets them be happy. However, not one was happy. The empress kidnapped the couple and the princess. The princess was forced to witness the deaths of the couple, who were betrayed by both of their parents. The princess snapped and then she slaughtered two of the pair of parents, but only one pair she killed and let the other alive. The princess burnt down the place as everyone escaped while the princess lead her mother to a good life and she vowed revenge against the empress, who is known as Onibabab. But the empress, Onibaba, left something before the deaths of the couple, these....markings. Psychological scarring on her...." Just then, Tamamo Mae stripped off her top and turned around to reveal the keloid scars on her back. Urashima Taro is horrified. His girlfriend knocked on the door and came in but was shocked to see the scars on TM's back. Shaken; Otohime was shocked by this and feels something wet in her irises. "What the hell did those people do to you and your mother? Who were these monsters?" Otohime asked with tears in her eyes.
The next day; there was another therapy session as Tamamo Mae was seated in a chair. "You heard the screams of Hell from an opened portal that this diabolic cult summoned through the demonic powers?" asked Urashima, writing down what Tamamo Mae was speaking. "Yes, they also did human sacrifices and Okiku Samon was the lead priestess in all of this. She was known as Onibaba." Tamamo Mae said. Then, they talked about Great Watch and Tamamo Mae explained everything. By the time she finished, she said in a dreaded tone: "Now I'm shunned, hunted, and attempted to arrest by the people I manipulated and lied before." "Do they forgive you?" Urashima asked. Tamamo Mae shrugged, "I don't know, I doubt it. I, not only manipulated them but tried to kill them as my behavior is unstable. My mind was overwhelmed, all that I am was through my insanity." She said. Tamamo Mae clutched her hair, "I'll never see Konohana nor Oinari, I'll never hug them both to me. Not a single devil, nor ten or one hundred can pacify me. My dear Konohana is in great distress because of me. And I'll never see my brooding bad boy Oinari again." She said. Urashima is curious by those names and decided to discussed about that. "Tell me about your attraction to both sexes." Urashima asked. Tamamo Mae composed herself before glaring at him, "Promise me no judgment of my interest in both." She said. Urashima vowed he wouldn't, "Cross my heart, swallow a bunch of thorns if I lie." He promised. So Tamamo Mae begin to ramble: "Boys...They drive you crazy, they are so hot. They come with different personas and it creates a lovesick disease for a girl. But then it came to the girls...They are irresistible. Lips taste like cherry flavored lip balm, like they slathered it on, and their skin is so smooth. It's so wrong but it's so right for someone like me. Honestly, it's like having three in bed." Urashima Taro looked slightly surprised, he couldn't say much of what the vixen just said this. "Oh-Kay." He only said. Tamamo Mae laughed, "Sorry 'bout the analogy." She said. "No worries, that was very interesting."
That night; Tamamo Mae had a dream that there were crazy people on their hands and knees with their right hands stained with the red paint color as they splattered a large parchment of paper on the floor. They did it over and over again, never stopping over and over again with eccentric, mad grins on their faces. "Towns are often divided by train tracks, one side is dangerous and bad to cross over. Part of the town is crumbling, the bridge has not been maintained because of apathy for funds. Imagine you've grown tired, give up on your hopes and aspirations; someone will come to you and say to you that they'll grant you any wish. Then, all of your dreams as well as possibilities come back to you but as viable options. However; this person is not a mythical character but a sinister devil with a bargain. This person is not a good soul at all, they don't wander around to help people with their lives--They have a dark side to themselves that they won't revealed until it's too late. They'll indulged in what we consume nothing to fulfill our needs. We are kept happy with money but that's not enough. These people are shady, sardonic--There's no such thing as a free ride and a limitless price comes with a catch. Ignore any offers no matter if this mysterious stranger is attractive and persistent they are. How harmless they are at first glance. They represent temptation so much more for a stranger to wonder about and helping people. They are charming and calculated but behind the curtain, they are orchestrating such evil. Chained in the burning lake? That sure was worse. What if the breath that kindled those grim fires? Awakened, should blow the inter sevenfold rage and plunge us into flames or from above? Should intermitted vengeance arm again his red right hand to plague us?" She said. Meanwhile; Urashima Taro is alone while recording notes he discovered: "Tamamo Mae is an emotionally disturbed young lady who is overprotective of her mother and TM has an infatuation for both sexes--feminine and masculine--while dealing with traumatized memories of her past. She deals with pain by the use of alcohol to drown her sorrows and anxiety. As I anticipated, she gets drunk and berates her loved ones; except her mother. Stress, pain, and abuse. It is a cycle and it must be stopped."
One day, Urashima exposed himself of what his full name is: "Let me tell you my name, I am Urashima Taro Sakata." Urashima Taro said. Tamamo Mae looked at him with shock, "You bastard, I trusted you--" She replied, rising up from the chair. But Urashima held up his hands, "Hold on, let me explain. Sit, please." He said. Tamamo Mae looked at him and sat back down. Urashima Taro took a deep breath before explaining: "I didn't say anything to my nephew or his friends, Kin and Momo don't know about it." Tamamo Mae looked at him, "Why are you saying this?" She asked. "Because I was once a friend of Okiku." Urashima Taro said. Tamamo Mae looked horrified as Urashima continued to tell the story, "After discovering what she done, I ended our friendship. How could she--Innocent people. They were innocent people but she has no remorse. She didn't care, I hope she goes to hell when her reign is over." He was shaking his head with terror. Tamamo Mae looked at him, "Osode and Tamiya were involved as well." She said. Urashima Taro looked up at her, "Osode Iemon? Tamiya? I should've known!" He hissed. Tamamo Mae grinned sardonically, "Three times the charm for hell hath no fury for a crestfallen girl and daughter right?" She asked. Urashima Taro smirked with no humor, "Hmph." He said. Then, Tamamo Mae begins to talk about Usodori and her dream of being a writer: It turns out that Usodori is a highly functioned autistic youthful girl. As a child, she hated one thing: Loud noises and she always have to cover her ears, scream, or cry. After the event was over; Usodori was feel emotionally drained and traumatized from the experience. Although a grown woman; Usodori's appearance of youthfulness hasn't changed so much! For as long as Usodori could remember; she loved anime and manga since she was around 7 years old. Usodori was so incentive that she created her own creation of a light novel. Usodori fanatized of being praised for her success and Usodor is in awed over that but sometimes she has a dark fantasy of being laughed at and her story being dissed for being a 'lackluster'. So, Usodori wrote something unique in it about the trio encountering an innocent girl who turns out to be some sort of crazy, fan obsessed person. It was all so quiet until Tamamo Mae asked, "Can I ask you a favorite? Do you know where I can find Aoyama Tessan?" Urashima Taro looked at her with a confused look on his face, he didn't say but he knew something was up with that look on foxy Tamamo Mae's pretty face.
One week later; Aoyama Tessan was discovered by witnessed of being burnt alive. Kintaro and his best friend, Tsuna, decided to investigate his burning death. While doing so, they encountered some familiar encounters. "Well, well. What luck!" A voice called out. Kintaro looked annoyed, "Aw great, it's them!" He said. "Is that Kintato Sakata?" A second voice replied. Tsuna couldn't believe he heard this, "Sarutobi? Kirigakure?" He gasped. Sarutobi grinned excitedly, "Ah, you remember us! We knew we'd find you here and your pal, Tsuna." He said. "Once we're done with you, you'll be coming with us. Got it?" answered Kirigakure. "Like hell!" Kintaro claimed, glaring at him. "Bring it on!" Tsuna dared. "You got it!" Sarutobi answered, smiling like a crocodile. "With pleasure!" Kirigakure replied. They were about to fight against each other of round two until someone stepped forward, then a big burst came across the ground that made the four of them leaped up in the air. This attract the attention of Wendigos, which Tsuna and Kintaro abandoned the fight to take them out. Sarutobi and Kirigakure turned up and is shocked to see who it was. They saw it was Akiko, shining blonde hair. She wears puffy white skirt, a short white blouse, and golden winged Hermes-like heels. This amazed them both by this beauty and how she wear. "A goddess?" Kirigakure said softly. "Surrender, you know you can't win!" Akiko said. Sarutobi smiled at the interesting opponent, he starts running along with his partner: "Sorry toots, us guys never lose to the likes of you." He called out. But Akiko pounced him and engaged in a fight with Sarutobi and Kirigakure, Akiko prepared to fight back against. "Wowzah! You are smoking!" whistled Sarutobi. Akiko smirked, "Oh really? I guess I shouldn't tell you 'bout the heat." He asked. But then, Kirigakure grabbed her from behind. "Hey, what are you--Aaaahhh!" Akiko demanded, but screamed when she got tasered. And got knocked out. The next thing that happened was she woke up in a prison, she looked around and looked up to see a frowning Kirigakure and a smirking Sarutobi. "Well, well, Sleeping Beauty's finally woke up! 'Sup Goldilocks?" Sarutobi purred. Akiko moaned, clutching her head. "Where am I? Who are you?" She asked groggily to the duo. "Sarutobi Sasuke and this is my partner, Kirigakure Saizo. We are Tiger Braves." Sarutobi introduced himself and his friend. "Akiko Yamamoto." said Akiko. Sarutobi looked down at her chest, Akiko noticed and glared at him. "Don't look at me with that lecherous look." She said. Kirigakure looked at his partner and Akiko, "You should be careful what you wear, Miss Yamamoto. An overly skimpy outfit like yours can attract the wrong kinds of attention." He said.
Akiko sat up angrily, "Hey! Let me wear wherever I want, you don't tell me what to do boy!" She claimed. But she calmed down and explained the two of her story. By the time she was done, Kirigakure and Sarutobi were stunt by this. "You mean you were made from the dogtails, sugar, spice, and snips? You're artificially human?" Kirigakure asked. Akiko shrugged, "You could say that and I've come to fight all evil of monsters." She said. "I see." Kirigakure said, nodding. Sarutobi was intrigued, "Nice, very interesting." He replied. Akiko smiled, "Very." She said. It was quiet until Kirigakure spoke up, "OK, we'll let's make a deal. We will release you under one condition, will you join us?" He said. Akiko was shocked to hear this, "What? Me? I--I don't know what to say, I mean I have my crew so..." She started to say but then, she heard something that made her--even Sarutobi and Kirgakure jumped--and one of the lieutenants came bursting into the room. "WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!!" The lieutenant reported. And then, Akiko could see her friends and allies came to her aid. "Akiko!" One of them called out. Akiko was glad to see them, "Guys!" She exclaimed. Sarutobi was mad by this, "Son of a bitch!" He exclaimed. And then, a battle struck out! Akiko escaped and Sarutobi was disappointed that their possible member could've joined their team and Akiko begin to reconsider their offer but still wasn't sure. Meanwhile; The agents of Great Watch are invited to a formal party by Silver Branch and were having a good time until something happens. Everyone became silent when Tamamo Mae entered, she didn't look at anyone but was staring into oblivion. Her eyes looked paralyzed while she was beside Urashima Taro Sakata and Otohime Toyotama. Tamamo Mae came across a figure, who step forward and looked up to see who it is. "Hey TM, you look better." Kintaro said softly. Tamamo Mae was touched by this, "Thank you." She whispered timidly. However, she felt so paranoid of being watched; Tamamo Mae looked around but nobody looked at her and were busy talking to one another. "They're pretending not to look at me. I am shunned and forgotten...But if they dare to look at me, the rejection is more than I can bare." thought Tamamo Mae. Upset by the stress, Tamamo Mae goes over to a table of beverages and picks out an alcoholic kind. And she drank and drank until she was intoxicated. Hangaku is shocked to see this, she looks at Kincho but he was stunt too. Kintaro, Sayohime, and Vasilissa begin to noticed this. Oinari and Konohana didn't see as they wanted to get away from her. Usodori can see and confronted her, "What are you doing?" She asked. "Nothing, OK? Can't you see I'm having a hard time?" Tamamo Mae snapped. "You know, you're getting on my nerves." Usodori said. Tamamo Mae turned to her and begin to raise her voice, "Oh, I am? You don't know shit all right? You are an ugly, bitchy, and..."
Usodori got so mad, she then slapped the alcoholic drink, which crashed to the ground, and started on Tamamo Mae: "ARE YOU DRUNK?! WHY DO I FEEL SO SCARED AND UNCOMFORTABLE AROUND YOU?! YOU DRINK AND DRINK WHILE I MAIMED OF EVERY BLADE SHARP ENOUGH AGAINST MY FLESH! I'M FAT, I LOOK LIKE CRAP, AND IT'S YOU WHO I HATE!!!! I'M MOVING OUT AND I WANT TO GO HOME!" She screamed. And stormed away, Tamamo Mae is shocked by this as she bowed her head. Later; Tamamo Mae was on the roof. She looked like she wanted to join and Otohime came onto the roof to see her. "Tamamo Mae?" asked Otohime. "Just go away!" Tamamo Mae called out. Otohime step forward, "Don't do this, are you OK?" She begged. But Tamamo Mae begin to cry, "She hates me, I killed the most revolting people that pawed her pretty, itty bitty soft skin! AND SHE HATES ME!!! I'M DEAD TO HER, I'M FRIGGIN' LOSING MY SANITY!!!" She begin to pull her hair and begin sobbing while hitting herself, "DAMN YOU!!! YOU STUPID BITCH, HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID?!" She screamed, "USODORI WAS A CLOSED FRIEND AND YOU HURT HER, SHE'S A MESS BECAUSE OF ME!!!!" She then closed her eyes and leaped from the roof however Urashima Taro seized her and stopped her by catching her. "Gotcha!" said Urashima Taro, pulling her up. Tamamo Mae begin to struggle and screaming, "BASTARD, I HATE YOU! WHY WON'T YOU LET ME GO?!" Urashima held her up and on the roof when they got back, "Take it easy, easy!" He said. Otohime looked on until Vasilissa came on the roof and held her hand towards Tamamo Mae, "Are you OK?" She asked. Tamamo Mae looked at her, "What?" "You look so upset, I want to know if you need someone to help you." Vasilissa said. Tamamo Mae was confused by this, but she was knocked out by a tranquilizer. And she was knocked out. She woke up in the medical hospital and is visited by Kintaro, Tamamo Mae is shocked to see him: "Kin? No...No, go away...Go away! I am not to be forgiven!" Tamamo Mae rasped emotionally. Kintaro held her hand, "Shh, I already know why you're doing this. It's a curse in the blood, right?" He said. "You don't get it....Never mind, just go." Tamamo Mae said. Kintaro shook his head, "Can't. Got a change of heart." He said. Tamamo Mae banged her hand against the medical cot, "Shit." She muttered. And leaned her head back on the pillow.
In the meantime, the next day; Oinari and Konohana were called in by Tsunade and asked them: "Do you know anything about Tamamo Mae?" The couple look at each other and looked back at Tsunade. "No." Oinari said. "Not in a million years." replied Konohaha. Tsunade pulled out something, "Here." She said. "This will help." The two are shocked by what they are shown. A touch screen device: "Wait, is that....The Moneta?" Konohana inquired. "Yes, take a look at this." Tsunade confirmed. The Moneta turned on and then, the first memory is shone: 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.In another memory; Tamamo Mae entered her house, where she lives there with her divorced mother. "Hey Mom, I'm home." Tamamo Mae called. Her mother turned to her, "Hi honey, how was your day?" She asked. "It was awesome. Mmm, smells good." Tamamo Mae remarked, sniffing the air. "I knew you like it, it's your favorite--yakitori." said her mother, Oiwa. Tamamo Mae hugged Oiwa as she said, "Cool, Thanks Mom!" She said. Her mother gently pulled away, "Honey, I had that bad dream again. The fire, the ritual..." She started to say as she begins to cry. Tamamo Mae wrapped her arms around her mother, "Oh Mom, it's OK. Listen, I'm going to find a job and make lots of money all right?" assured Tamamo Mae. Her mother nodded, "I know, I don't think I have enough to pay for the bills, and the groceries, and the food stamps." She said, her voice is choked up to crying. "Oh Mom...." Tamamo Mae said, crying too. In her room; she looked a photo of some people and her mother. She begins to sob once more, "Mother, I had to hold my tongue...I wanted to tell you the truth but it's just too cruel...FORGIVE ME!!!!!" Tamamo Mae said, ripping the picture as she begin to heave into sobs. She thought of a dark blue haired boy with a rosy pink haired girl in his arms, "Hikoboshi....Orihime...." She muttered to herself. The memory ends as Oinari and Konohana were surprised. "Is that it?" Oinari asked. "Wait, there's more." Tsunade said.
In another memory, played the creepy interrogation: "Wanna hear a story? It's a scary tale and it's full of horrors that's worser than a horror flick." Tamamo Mae asked. Then, she begins her story: "Once upon a time, a princess had it all but her father--the king--was a mean person who lashed physically at his wife, the queen, and the princess, his daughter. Physical. Mental. Emotional. You have no idea how much pain it was towards the queen and princess. Finally the queen had enough and left her abusive husband behind forever with the princess. But this fairy tale has no happy ending...Hell, there's no happy ending in life. At all! The princess and the queen came across an empress that the queen and princess known for awhile as well as the duke and duchess. It seemed all too innocent in a housing place as well as a school too. However; the empress, the duchess and the duke had forced them into a ceremonial demoniac maltreatment of blood drinking, submit ourselves to sick bastards for 'favors' and other horrors. The poor princess traumatized badly, the empress and the duchess betrayed the queen as well. However, one day; the princess found Heaven's light through a prince with dark blue hair. But this peasant girl...Something about her seemed to intrigued the beauty of her...Her pink hair...they borht seemed to be on her mind. And she loved the prince and the peasant girl. But then, the prince was in love with the peasant girl and the princess was heartbroken but nevertheless, she lets them be happy. However, not one was happy. The empress kidnapped the couple and the princess. The princess was forced to witness the deaths of the couple, who were betrayed by both of their parents. The princess snapped and then she slaughtered two of the pair of parents, but only one pair she killed and let the other alive. The princess burnt down the place as everyone escaped while the princess lead her mother to a good life and she vowed revenge against the empress, who is known as Onibaba. But the empress, Onibaba, left something before the deaths of the couple, these....markings. Psychological scarring on her...."
Just then, Tamamo Mae stripped off her top and turned around to reveal the keloid scars on her back. Urashima Taro is horrified. His girlfriend knocked on the door and came in but was shocked to see the scars on TM's back. Shaken; Otohime was shocked by this and feels something wet in her irises. "What the hell did those people do to you and your mother? Who were these monsters?" Otohime asked with tears in her eyes. Once that was over; Oinari and Konohana trembled with fear. "Oh man." was all that Oinari could say. "I didn't know she went through something like that." Konohana said. "Yes, she has been through a lot of pain." Tsunade said, "Try to understand, she does not want sympathy but she does it for the price of revenge." Oinari and Konohana were stunt, then their perspective of Tamamo Mae started to change. And they were going to be nice to her. In the suburbs, for the time being, on this street is a quiet life here. There lying in a garden of roses, lilies, daffodils, daisies, and pansies is a 16 year old girl name Alyssa Osheen. Alyssa is a naive, bubbly, and sweet girl living in the suburbs of her ordinary life. Alyssa lives with her henpecked father, her materialistic mother, and has no siblings. But there was something else she has: Friends. Her friends are Bradamante, Griffayn, Walwein, Kalerot, and and her boyfriend, Alec Niaz is the best thing that has ever happened to her. But she pulls out her helmet, clicked on, and leaned back while she heads into the world of the Net, where she goes to a digital realm, a whole and brave new world....
