The Day of Thunder

The young man nods he wasn't crying but there was a pain in his eyes "You know the last thing we did was fight...before..before the dream or whatever it was. I yelled at her and-" He cut off and swallowed it "doesn't matter now." He nodded to Akuto as he stood brushing himself off as well, he was la...

"Oh!" She seemed surprised by the offer. "Oh uhm maybe? I would have to think about it, having a destination makes it very uhm real I think." She took another sip

"Oh as for the poem I don't have it on hand, I believe it is still with his things in his house. But I could bring it to you."

He shrugged "like, like a month or two ago. Asahi is just you know, a guy. He's one that's able to like do things for people if you want it kept quiet." He spoke in a slightly hushed tone.

He seemed a little confused "I don't see, I mean I lifted it off Asashi. He's got plenty and I didn't think he'd miss it..."

"Ah, not as such. He passed away a few years ago. It was just him and I in the family for awhile." She took a sip of her drink "We had actually been discussing leaving the village. We had our reasons for being here but he saw the innovations of the clans and we thought we might leave after the next ...

"There's a small blade in your room when I found you, son," Akutou says. "Looked like you was lookin' at it. How'd you come by it, if'n I c'n ask?" Still kneeling, he glances about, taking in the rest of the scene. "Oh I uh," He seemed hesitant but he sighed "I lifted it off someone a few days back...

Akari poured some of the liquid from the bottle into Shang's cup it was a light purple color and smelled faintly of sweetened plums. She grabbed the tea pot and poured a cup for herself and Ai before sitting and brushing a strand of wayward dark hair behind her ear. "Oh well he was a kind man, raise...

"Oh...um maybe. I would have to check. One moment." She went to another room and returned with a tea pot she hung over the fire and a bottle "I found this, it's a distilled plum wine some family brought me. It can be a little stronger than sake."

The young man shakes his head a bit seemingly still getting his grasp on things "Huh, Uh what's up?" "S' first, I need you t' tell me what all happened t'night," Akutou says. "I ain't gonna be mad 'r nothin', I promise. But we need t' know, in case somethin' else bad starts up; mebbe we c'n get it ...

"No it is an uh honor to have people such as yourself in my home."

She motions to a low table "I do not have much to offer but would you like some tea or water?"

Akutou resumes his hat.

He then approaches Shoji, taking a knee.

"Hey, son," he says. "I know it's hard, but I need to ask you about some things, okay?"

The young man shakes his head a bit seemingly still getting his grasp on things "Huh, Uh what's up?"

The woman paused for a moment and nodded stepping aside and offering them entrance into the home "Yes of course, I would be happy to share with you."

Not everyone had left and the guard began to disperse the remaining on lookers and create space for the family and samurai.

A slight expression of sadness washes over her "Oh, yes. Nanzi-sama and excuse my rudeness but hello to you as well Dragon-sama."

"I heard about what happened in the graveyard and the monster he had become. I am sorry he attacked you."

A young woman answered the door, likely around Ai's age, well Ai's age when she arrived. She looked to her with a somewhat surprised expression. "Oh uh hello Crane-sama, is there anything I can do for you?" She asked giving a low bow and having a nervous energy of one who is not prepared for the sit...

Her claws indeed pierce the woman again, biting deeply into that corrupted flesh the monster screams in pain and reels back but she has precious little time to confirm whether the monster was killed or not as she exits the house She sees the barely there outline shimmer and fade to nothing. Just an ...

The Crane samurai had a task, to find anyone that knew Kujo or maybe his family and give them… well she was not sure what to give them. But she felt like she owed it to the lost soul to try… anything. It may have been fruitless, but a samurai had a duty to those of lower stations. So she searched t...

The first slice of Kenjis blade goes deep through the trunk of muscle that is Aoyama's thigh. Her corrupted flesh sizzles against his sacred weaponry, the second shot severs it and the giantess barely manages to catch herself using the tetsubo as a support. Thick, black ichor sizzles away on Kenji's...

As they found themselves more and more immersed inside this thing's realm it grew stronger and more powerful. Ayako put up a tremendous fight their clash of wills shook the foundations of the soon to be dream home, the whole space shuddering. Ultimately, however, this was its element. It repelled Ay...

It may have been so much bigger than her but it was fighting two of them at once and the house was not fully in the realm but as it grew closer the entity grew stronger. She managed to eject the corruption once more and the house filled with an ominous hissing as the darkness grew frustrated and att...
