The Day of Thunder

I thought long and hard over whether I was going to make a Q&A for this game. There was an option to just ignore it and call it done, but I've been playing these games for years now and it is hard to walk away. I've been enjoying them less and less as time has gone by, and frankly even though I've s...

He takes the earring carefully and glances at the other shinies. "Really? I do hope there's not going to be half the camp looking for a thief now?" He put his own shiny back where it belonged. "What are we going to do, Ukyou? I quite like a lot of these humans and even the ones I don't like don't fu...

Chasing Tomorrow

"The Baku said she was in the dream Realm. I did press on her being here as well either in the flesh or spirit riding someone but it wasn't totally convinced. Did concede it could be happening though."

He was watching Satsuki carefully, but she didn't say anything to make him growl.

Hoto-Hori gave him the 'that only works on gullible humans' look before staring up at the sky.

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!! You can be even more infuriating than the fucking donkey at times. My earring please, if you fucking mind?"

"You know what! Don't give me those innocent eyes thief!"

At least he didn't shake the almost corpse.

"Bleeding?" He looked like he was noticing the blood for the first time. "Oh fuuu . . . not mine. Don't worry." Matsu's arrival got a nod. "Ok I'll be quick. Met a Baku yesterday. A Dream Eater forced into this Realm by the filth invading it's own. Had a chat with it and it told me that the Demon Ha...

Another hard stare.

"That reminds me. Give it back."

The Imperial stomped up looking as angry as usual. There was a streak of dried blood across his cheek that he totally wasn't aware of and some patches of red on his clothing looked a little . . . deeper red than they had before. He made a beeline for Makime. "At least someone sensible is taking char...

He nodded and then stared again, before tipping his head back to look at the overcast sky.

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!! The baby Dragon is a healer . . . and I left her in the dust . . . . "

"Guilt corridor? Well at least that one isn't that old fucker Sora. Probably the Crane. Still feeling it for that Demon Hag - Demon Raven double whammy they allowed five years ago. Still at least they're doing their best to clean their fucking house. Pity it was too late for Doji." He actually looke...

He stared down at the badly injured crow.

"What the fuck are you talking about? This form? You going soft for humans or did the fucking donkey slap your brains out as well as your throat?"

"Oh those. Yeah, Boss man uses them sometimes. Especially when telling to shut my fucking snout when I'm sniping at Doji." He started to use a few as examples. "Wait . . . why the fuck am I signing to you?? If you knew the donkey was this badly off why get so close? Why?" It was almost like he cared.

"Not like humans are even tasty to eat. I'm guessing some of them will taste awful considering the crap they eat."

They were getting off topic and beginning to descend into "Why Ningen-do is awful" chit chat.

"Oh fuck this . . . I knew I should have learnt some healing crap at some point. Too cushy having the boss man around who could do it."

He tried to make sense of the signs.

"Ugh . . . some yes, but I doubt Kitsune and Tengu use all the same signs. You don't have proper fucking ears for a start."

The Ninetails landed with a soft thump and shifted back into it's human form. He laid the injured Ukyou down surprisingly carefully considering their relationship.

"Why? Why let him do this? Why stay so close you thieving fucker? Surely you knew?"

It wasn't Hoto-Hori that swooped down from the tree at lightning speed. It was a full blown ninetailed Kitsune, it's fox muzzle growling and showing teeth as it lifted up Ukyou's limp body and stared at the samurai who were still standing. " MINE! " it snarled, before leaping off into the trees agai...

He blinked.

"Well yes . . . so some of us have no fucking manners either. At least all we do is play a prank or two . . . not like we try to doom an entire Realm to darkness or anything."

"She might be skipping between the two or just possessing someone here when she feels like it. Not like the Hag has any fucking manners."

He completely ignored the fact that many of his cousins also liked possessing humans when they felt like it.

He continued to watch and continued to grumble to only himself.

"Looks like the fucker might have caved too early. They might do this yet . . . but still . . . "

He shifted sideways slightly and leapt to a nearer tree, an orange blur on the early morning wind.
