what a lack of creativity;!

Nothing much seemed to clear away the fog sitting upon his memories, everything remained a fuzzy blur to the demon as he wandered the city streets in the hopes of finding something that would stick out to him. To his dismay, not much did. Others seemed to be in a haze of their own, either suffering from a similar case of amnesia like himself or some other matter, he wasn’t sure, but they didn’t seem to stick out or be important enough for him to question.

Which only meant more hours of aimless wandering until something would fit into it’s correct slot, helping to jog his memory or—

"…?"

There was the feeling of something brushing against his leg which brought the hollows inverted gaze downward, staring down at what appeared to be a small, white pup currently rubbing against him. It was getting his attention, right? Well, it certainly had it.

… why did small white dog seem to be familiar to him, though? Was this the same dog or—

“Oi, what is it. Ya need somethin’?”

No tags, by the looks of it. A stray?

Slowly kneeling down the hollow slowly and carefully extended a hand to bring it down against the pups head, running bony fingers along it’s fur. He couldn’t remember much in the city, but he could at least remember his liking for this species of animal.

“Or just lookin’ for a bit o’ attention.”

[sonlights]

A wag of his tail once attention was given, the animal appreciated the patting that was given. He wasn't sure who the other was but that didn't matter, the fact that that loneliness that wafted over him was replaced with company, he took it as it came. It was a relief to him to have this, primarily confused since he could remember the recent events of here but the things he did before was such a blur. It made him wonder if the other was also going through this same symptom. He was unsure, if the other would have been able to understand him due to their differences, but was unable to by how the itching felt against his body.

❝Bark! Aroooo!❞

His hind leg lightly scratching against his fur and repetitively hitting the ground as he did so. Leaning into the male's touch so that the action would be much more harder and in moments, the dog gave the other his approval with a nod to show that all he wanted was a bit of attention, company at that. A tilt of his head, he tried to place his face to see if he had met him before but he was new to the pup which brought him to become rather excited than upset like he was prior ago when not knowing what he was missing.

The God gave a wag of his tail, showing that he was enthused by these actions. Of course, he raised one paw so that he could place it on the top of the other's arm. An attempt to shift the other's hand away so that once he was able, he slowly walked over behind the other's back and moving to his hind legs did he use his paws to lightly pat the other's back in return for his help.

[Memories were never concrete, it was a fact of life. However, common knowledge seemed to lean to the false answer. That’s probably the reason why everyone was currently freaking out. Reimu, while bothered by the gaps in her memories, faces completely deleted from her travels in the city, wasn’t taking the loss as hard as many others. She knew enough about the city that she knew they’d come back eventually. Besides, it’s not like they took important memories away. At least, not to her knowledge.]

[As the shrine maiden tried to go about her daily life, she almost didn’t notice the small dog until it ran into her leg. Luckily, the pup’s strength wasn’t enough to topple the miko, just enough to catch her attention. However, it was only until he dug his nails into her legs that she got a good look at him.]

"Hey, that hurts!"

[Reimu gently picked him up, wrapping her hands around his midsection as she held him to eye level.] “I’ve never seen a dog with such strange markings… Are you a special breed?”

[sonlights]

It wasn't off for him to be picked up, though he wasn't happy about it. His tail not even shifting as he stared at the other with a confused look on his face, though it just looked as if he was staring. Nose wiggling from left to right as he tried to lean over and get a whiff of her scent, she wasn't anything familiar he could think of. A whimper left from his throat to show that he was upset, his paw moving so that it rested upon the female's arm as he barked at the female. ❝Bark bark, bark bark!?❞

Worried about this, the pup could only feel a bit self confident about himself about being called special. He knew that he had these markings for a long time but didn't all animals of his type have them? Ears lowering down, he already felt bad for leaving scratches on her leg but maybe this was what he deserved to be called a disgrace! He was some weird abomination wasn't he?

His eyes now looking down at the ground, he couldn't really think of much of what he was. He knew that there was somewhere else that he was suppose to be but he was stuck here, but where was that? Sad, he just gave up for only a bit as he sniffed her hand before giving it a light lick. He was so distressed about this whole ordeal.

Afternoon Slumber [closed/Chibiterasu]

[celestialcanine]

The world, desolated with receding snow and smog, was forgotten in these tiny, blissful moments as mother reunited with son once more. As he smothered the tip of her snout with small, wet paws, she’d rebel against it by redirecting her attention towards smooching his fleshy stomach up until he pushed her snout back with a loud whimper.

Her affection had never waned for her son; for months he had set off on a legendary adventure that she so dearly craved to hear about; and now here he was, bundled up against her. She was grateful to cherish him once more; every second of it. Amused by his tiny tantrum, the god would sit up, giving a light snort. ‘What? I can’t help it. You’re cursed with the cute.’ 

When he invited her to a game of hide-and-seek, Amaterasu would not shy from it. Playing a game with her son sounded promising, compared to the dull greys the city had been reduced to. Her tail would swish, a woof given as she considered the child. 'I'll count to thirty, starting now.' Whether he bolted off or not, the goddess would shrivel to the ground, her front paws reaching up to mask her ink-stained face, a brief ‘roo’ given as each second passed.

One… two…. three…..

[sonlights]

He knew it! He just knew that she was going to baby him! He was old enough to be treated as an adult but maybe she thought differently. Who was he kidding, she was never going to let his age get to her. As long as she still owned him as her son, this was going to go on forever. Though, he didn't mind he only thought about how embarrassing it would remain in the years and centuries to come. A deep breath left from his muzzle once he noticed that she was willing to play the game with him, it had been so long and he was sure he was going to enjoy it!

❝Mom!! I wasn't cursed with cute! I'm devilishly handsome!❞ A nod of his head as he turned around in a circle over and over again while she counted, he needed to find a hiding spot. Thirty, she was counting to thirty. A wag of his tail, but before leaving did he press his forehead against hers and then dashed off towards one direction, he was still unsure of his surroundings but as long as he hid, it didn't matter. The place wasn't like home with it's over sized rocks and little various spirits that he could find if he paid much attention.

Looking around, he stopped in mid-step when he took notice to a bush, leaping right inside of it as he laid down right in it's leaves. Now the worse part was wondering if he could be seen, lacking brush techniques made this hard but maybe if he closed his eyes and hid his markings, she wouldn't be able to see him. Staying completely still hoping that she wouldn't find him, if it got to risky, he was hoping he wouldn't have to move from such a great spot.

Success.

Someday Chibiterasu would get now, but for now he needed to be careful and make sure that no other kind of stand would fall victim to a falling tree. They may have been lucky now, but there is a chance they may be less lucky next time. Wanting to say something to his small companion about being careful from now on, but it seemed Chibiterasu already thought about it and wrapped his paws around his tail in order prevent such thing from happening again. Though it did fell onto it’s back in the progress.

K-Kawaii… 

The little scene that had happened in front of him was beyond adorable, especially with the expression that the Kami held when he fell onto his back ad he held onto his tail. 

The raven let out a sigh, ” To think that those men started kidnapping animals now… ” gods even. ” Do you remember? ” he asked and questioned further, ” The men in white lab coats? ” though it wasn’t like he was expecting much of a response aside from a bark or something similar like that. Still, for an animal Chibiterasu seemed awfully intelligent, a little too intelligent if Kiku had to be honest here. Then again he did not know that he was looking at the son of Amaterasu. 

A weight being pressed against the back of his legs, indicating that he could start walking. There were plenty of stands that he hadn’t seen yet, it surprised him that there were so many stands as well, seeing as this city was rather modern despite the fact that it’s sole purpose was to keep it’s experiments in and prevent them from getting out. Hands reaching for the quick note he had written, only to blink in surprise, ” Huh? ” searching in his other pocket, but it wasn’t there either. ” I must have lost it… ” just great. 

But luckily for him he could still remember what he needed to buy. Once they had almost everything he stopped in his tracks. Surely there must be a stand where they sell bread and baguette? Though Chibiterasu seemed to have found it already, heading over to his current companion before thanking him before buying what he needs. After he had bought what he needed headed over to another stand and bought some food for now there, unable to resist the temptation as the scent of all kinds of delicious foods were entering his nostrils. ” I suppose one can’t hurt… ” he muttered in a low tone before buying a small bowl filled with Udon Noodles. 

After he sat down on a nearby bench he rummaged through one of his bags before taking of a piece of one of the baguettes he had bought and gave it to Chibiterasu as a thank you for helping him and accompanying him.  

[sonlights]

Inquiry about the scientists, the dog did not remember what they said. Nor where he was suppose to go. All he remembered was that they told him how many times he could use his brush, though it was limited, he believed that he would be okay. Looking at his tail, he wondered if he doodled something would it make things better, using his chalk-like ink against the ground to draw a small doodle, proud of what he did. He would look back up at the other wondering if that was what he meant. Since those were who he met first before exiting a place he had no idea what was, it wasn't like the homes back in his world. Though once they started moving, he walked around in a small circle before following after.

Of course, if given the chance, the dog would have went back to search for the paper. Which he had did, when Kiku wasn't looking, the pup had found himself backtracking and if the other had looked back to check on him. Chibiterasu would just as if he had been exposed for doing wrong, turning back the right direction and following after him. There was something was looking for and when it seemed that he was deep in thought as they went towards the stands, he was sure it was that slip of paper he had prior. Sadly, he wasn't able to find it. Apologetic, the dog even considered to carry some of the things the other would purchase.

At times, grabbing a basket that had little things in it would he set it on his back to walk around with it though was stopped in his actions by many of the stand-keepers, though they were amused that the male's dog could do such tricks and be smart when knowing he had did wrong. Though, as they found themselves towards the bench after their trip. The dog did a few things to help him, jumping onto the bench with ease and sitting down as if he was a normal human. Blinking and watching the people pass by, he turned around so that his paws hung over the backrest, wagging his tail at what he could see behind them.

Now, when the bread was shown, the dog was so enthused that he jumped down on the ground with his tail wagging. Sitting on his back legs while paws hung before his body as he begged for it. A bark left from his muzzle to show that he was ready to catch it whenever the other was willing to throw it to him.

Ears twitched happily as he stared up, in only moments once he was given the item. He took it within his teeth and tackled it to the ground, paws wrapping over it as he sunk his teeth into it. Pulling it apart, and slowly having troubles chewing it. Just because he was a God didn't mean he didn't have dog troubles. Pressing his nose against the bread, he sniffed it before pushing it away from him. Before it was a god distance away from him he jumped forward, a yip sounded once he made contact. Playing with it like a casual toy before settling down to finish eating it.

To show his thanks, the dog slowly walked under the bench before looking for a flower that was close by. Grabbing it with his teeth and walking back over to give Kiku! He wouldn't allow the other to deny it if he did, the pup wishing there was more he could do but maybe the simple things would have been fine.

[sonlights]

what a lack of creativity;!

Laying down on the ground, the pup was a bit less enthused than usual. Having decided to go back home and then remain within the city was nothing but a lie he couldn't deal with. Though, what was the point of going back, opposed to just staying here? He tried to think back of what was it that he used to do but nothing came to mind, a whine leaving from his muzzle at this problem. But the most important thing was as he stared at his tail, the chalk like substance that left from his tail. The pup raised to his feet, trying to catch his own tail in order to find out what was going on.

In his mishap, bringing himself to be more than dizzy and even more confused. He gave up with brought the dog to wobble to and fro before falling down to his side. His stay within the Hive wasn't the longest, and even because of that he felt a bit insecure that he had no place to go to. Though, a part of him felt as if there was someone he was suppose to be with, there was an urge to just be next to someone. He didn't understand why he felt that way before by picking a random stranger, the dog had ran his body against whoever in order to get their attention.

The burden of feeling alone scared him and brought the dog to be a bit clingy, hopefully whoever he found would be the person he needed. If not, he wouldn't believe that he would delude himself just to have company. There was someone he was always with, right? It was a bit fuzzy, but it had to be this person, even though he was possibly wrong but he didn't know that. Getting onto his hind legs, the dog running his paws and nails against the other's person.

[sonlights]

what a big problem (just like him).

Chibiterasu wouldn't say that it was such a long time he had been here, it had been short but the pup was so distressed as this was going on. What was he supposed to do, yes he had done things for himself but he was a bit confused. What would happen to everyone else he had briefly met? It was truly scary, a whimper that left from his muzzle as he could only dwell on the fact. It would have been more ideal if he questioned someone much more older and wiser than him, but to think of asking his family was out of question.

A paw over his nose, he had to weigh his options and he was a God, to be stuck here would have been something he couldn't settle with. To go back home did seem much more promising, he had things to protect, people to look after just as he did here. He didn't ask for such a hard life and was in a stump. As troublesome as this was, a tail didn't even wag as happily as normal, what was he to do. Usually a partner would have given an idea and they would bunch their heads together for a good conclusion.

But not this time. He had to do this alone, what he chose could be fatal and how scary was that. Who was to know what would happen?

Afternoon Slumber [closed/Chibiterasu]

[celestialcanine]

The goddess lay coiled underneath the feverishly blossoming oak; her head resting neatly in the lap of her forelimbs. Had she been a little more awake and not too engrossed with stealing an afternoon nap while relaxing snugly underneath the newly life, she would’ve most likely felt the presence of her son preying upon her like a minute shark.

She would turn her head the other way as the flitting feeling of ink tickled her face; her unnoticed son becoming determined to brand her with littered ink stains in the shapes of X’s and O’s over her peaceful mug. She was notorious and crowned queen for sleeping through anything with an only exception being Issun when he was going through one of his ‘phases’. It was not until the faint disturbance of a smaller force smacking harshly against her body did she stir faintly, though her eyes remained stubbornly shut.

Twitching nostrils would reveal to her the thick, comforting aroma of a familiar presence; more specifically, someone from home. Her tiny, beautiful prince had found his way back to mommy. Even if they had reunited in a city that constantly was in peril and was no short of being down-right depressing, the overwhelmingly comforting feeling of being connected with her son again knotted tightly in the mother’s chest.

She stuck to her act of pretending to snooze underneath the tree until the child began a pitiful chorus of whimpers and whines, to which she responded by lifting up her right forelimb and attempted to swoop him into her lap like a hook snagging a fish. If she managed to steal him away in front of her then she would bestow an endless amount of smooches to the tuft atop his tiny head; each kiss containing a generous amount of slobber.

Her eyes are open now, taking in the image of her son. My, he’s gotten bigger. A single whine came from her throat, considering the child nestled in her lap. My, still darling as ever. Even if you got bigger. She’s yet to notice the wet smears of ink plastered on her face. Probably best not to mention that just yet.

[sonlights]

Who knew that his actions would have actually gotten through! Snagged by his mother, he wasn't able to slip away as fast as he wanted. Caught by her as he situated himself right in her arms as his tail wagged on the ground under them, his tail painting the various shards of grass black. Though, he should have seen it coming but when the licks were being placed on his being, a paw would be raised in order to try and cover from them playfully. The beads around his neck hitting together  as he moved around. Twitching his ears, hearing her whine, the canine gave a small yip of satisfaction.

He truly did miss her, there were so many hardships he had to go through just to be reunited with her so many times. Though with each of them, he was rewarded happily. Placing a paw upon her nose, he was glad that this moment was given to him and to her, as many times as they were placed away from each other. Be it his curiosity getting the better of him or things that plagued their homeland. Hopefully, all that was behind them and their only worrisome concern was this place of Hive City. Pushing her muzzle back, ❝Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom---!!❞ 

A long- whining "aro" sound leaving from him, he could not believe he was bested by her playing like she was sleep! He was sure she knew that he was around but for her to kid around like that brought him to give something of a huff as he laid his head against her body, snuggling into the female. He was enthused to have her back, to have his grandparent as well who was doing fine somewhere else even if it wasn't around them. Luckily there was no one another them so he wouldn't be embarrassed by her actions

Hiding his face from her, the canine used his paws to cover himself and lay face forward on the ground next.

❝Let's play hide and seek. Tag,❞ Touching her paw with his tail as he stayed in place, what an easy way to play a game. ❝..you're it..!❞

Well that’s one way of being an optimist. Kiku’s intention had actually been to show Chibiterasu that no one had been harmed. But the owner of the stand seemed rather happy with the turn of events. Still no matter what would have happened when he showed the pup the stand, he wouldn’t blame him for it. As a stand can always be replaced, people’s lives however cannot. It was something he had learned a long time ago and would never forget. 

It was then when a rare event occurred, the Japanese laughed. The Japanese had laughed when the small pup licked his hand. 

” Gomen, I should probably put you back on the ground now shouldn’t I? ” 

Placing the dog back on the ground before patting him on his head as the smile remained. The small pup is indeed incredibly cute, but alas the time he could not hold him forever as he doubted the pup would like such thing. ” Be careful next time, okay? ” he told Chibiterasu hoping that the God would think twice about cutting a tree, especially in a busy area like this one.  

Hands remained rested on his lap as he continued to look at Chibiterasu, wondering what the pup may have been doing in this area. ” Did the scientists bring you here as well? ” he questioned, not really expecting a response, especially not from a dog, but it was the thought that counts and he knows that animals are great listeners, even though they cannot talk back in the languages humans speak, but still would respond in their own ways. 

It’s why he appreciated his pets    his friends, like he does. Speaking of them…too bad Pochi isn’t here, he would have been a great translator, but he did not doubt the fact that the God can understand him just fine. 

A hand reaching out for the note in his pocket where he has written down the ingredients and items he still needs to buy. But before he knew it    

                                         His stomach started growling

” I still haven’t eaten yet… ” 

He muttered in a low tone, placing his hand on his stomach as a small blush appeared. Knowing that it is no good to skip lunch like that. Removing his hands from his lap as he stood up, but continued to look at Chibiterasu, ” I should probably buy the remaining items on the list before going back… ” and then he can finally eat, it’ll become more of an award for his hard work as well! 

                                      ”  Issho ni shimasu ka? ” 

[sonlights]

He did enjoy this male's happiness and his company, enjoyed when laughter came. Chibiterasu was more prone to being more happy when people were laughing and smiling, even in the saddest of times. He understood tears could be shed but even in the time of turmoil, but this wasn't anything unsettling, it was a pure accident which was remedied by the raven's actions. He was peaceful now, because of this, almost ready to lick the man's hand again but being too late since he was settled back upon the pasture of land. Looking up at the other with a yip, he agreed to be more careful, his powers were dangerous and he shouldn't have done things so dangerous.

Since he was still a child, he wasn't as strong as his mother of grandparent but even still, he was surely getting there. With only one more Power Slash under his belt, the canine made sure that his tail did nothing else and by nothing else, he sat right on it so that it was now in front of him, wrapping his paws around the extension and sadly falling onto his back afterwards.

As long as he kept his tail close by, that meant that nothing else would go wrong. Blinking, a tilt of his head when he was asked about scientists, he couldn't really recall what those were so of course he was a bit dumbfounded. Scientists, scientists? The words were lost on him so he just stared up before rolling onto his stomach to get back onto his feet. Jumping up once and a shake of his fur, he walked towards the male in hope for a more thorough explanation. Dogs had a good sense of hearing so the growl was noticeable, he wondered why the other hadn't had anything to eat as of yet.

Feeling as if he should find the other something edible, since he would do the same for Manpuku in this position. The canine looked both left and right before taking a step away from the other. Though, his next set of words caught the God before he had moved far away, being asked to accompany him was also a good idea. Chibiterasu didn't know where to start first with anything so walking very close to the other, he barked to show that he was willing to tag along.

The little trail of flowers that raised from behind him and only disappeared once a few steps away followed after him as he trotted right behind Kiku, using his forehead to shove the other forward so that they could start walking. Another bark, once and then twice as he waited. He didn't want the Japanese to starve because of his mistake and that was something Chibiterasu would fix if it ever became fatal for him.

Honestly, Mike wasn’t expecting this outing to be anything exciting. There was some specific vegetable that Sophie needed in order to cook dinner and Mike volunteered to go get it. Simple. The errand sent out the agent beyond their own sector and all the way into the next sector over, which was a pain, but nothing to complain about. That is, until a tree fell on top of the stand that Mike was shopping at. People began to clamor over the incident, several of them pulling out their phones to take pictures and speculate over what happened.

Blue eyes glanced back at the base of the tree to see what could have caused it to tumble like that. The cut was too clean for it to have fallen naturally. Frankly, people would’ve noticed if someone took a saw to the trunk, but there hadn’t been anyone there. In fact, the only thing that had been around the foliage was that white puppy. Such a feat seemed inconceivable, but with all of the powers that were listed in the Penitentiary applications—if he remembered correctly there was even a dog that could summon something—Mike couldn’t rule out the possibility.

The agent turned to check the damage of the stall; the stand was in complete shambles, the fruits and vegetables smashed beyond repair. The owner seemed just as perplexed as all the other bystanders, but luckily no one appeared hurt. Mike took a moment to have a word with the shopkeeper, quickly going over if there was anyone that they could report the damages to, if it was possible for them to be reimbursed by the city since it was supposedly an accident. After that was settled, Mike scanned the area and found the pup once again; it wasn’t all that hard since it came up to him on it’s own. It even seemed sorry for what it did. 

"That wasn’t you, was it?" he asked gently, getting down on one knee to properly give the canine a soft pat on the head, "From the looks of it, no one got hurt, so at least there’s that. I don’t know what you did, but try to be careful the next time, okay?"

[sonlights]

Right from the start, he should have took in the fact when he learned his abilities were taken that they were being truthful. But he was naive at times, and a God, who was he to know anyone besides those like Yami and company could do something so vile. It was only a story that he had heard from his Mother, that during her own battles, she had to fight just to regain what was hers. The only ability she had left was that of Sunrise, which did a great deal a damage, mind you. The light that broke through their field and onto the victim showed was rather promising. That's what he thought when she would tell him.

A wag of his tail once the other placed pats onto his head, he sniffed the digits of the man who believed Chibiterasu hadn't done anything wrong. It was always going to be like this for this one must have not believed in enough Gods to think any different. A tilt of his head, watching the other as he tried to figure out something and that being what the male had answered. That everyone was okay. That was good on his part, the pup yipping softly at the other's words as he once again, used his fore paws to cover his face once again.

There wasn't much he can do, which was then he thought of an idea. He could only show his gratitude by one simple means. Slowly getting back up and looking around the variety of trees, he noticed one that was growing apples. Blinking, he looked at his tail before drawing a line within the air that was a straight cut through the stem of the apple. Once decided had the God allowed his ability to register and with that, various apples dropped onto the ground. Picking up one in his mouth did he casually walk back to Mike, holding it up for him to take.

In the beginning it had seemed like the leader of the two had some semblance of where to go, moving without stop as the two of them made their way through the sector. Eventually coming back to the one that Ryoji remembered he had started in himself. There was a slightly impressed look upon the teen’s face as he took in their changed surroundings, despite feeling a bit tired from keeping up with the high-energy wolf. By the time he realized that his scarf had been released, there was only a moment for him to realize what was about to follow.

"Ah, he—"

Thud.

A wince was given in response to the sound of the impact, Chibiterasu obviously not having slowed down his pace before coming into contact with the wall. Watching with slight amusement as the other proceeded only to lower his head and pout, at least, it sure looked a whole lot like pouting to him, the teen proceeded to try and finish what it was he’d wanted to say to the younger before.

"I wanted to warn you, but that happens here sometimes. Are you okay..?" Crouching down to take a look at the pup, who seemed relatively unharmed aside from a forlorn disposition as he scratched at him, it seemed that he was alright. Placing a hand atop his fluffy head, Ryoji proceeded to scratch behind his ears with a smile. Maybe that would make up for the pain that had obviously been felt in crashing into the wall, if only just a little. "I’m pretty sure they do that every couple hours. It’s like you wake up in a completely different city every morning! Oh, but we can keep going now. We’ll be okay for a little bit."

For someone who was self-proclaimed as hopeless a person as Ryoji was with maps the shifting sector didn’t seem so bad in the first place, But sometimes, it would get a little bit disconcerting; there was just no getting used to a home that kept moving like this. At least with any luck, they wouldn’t have to worry about any more sudden buildings appearing in front of them. Though the thought of the city’s layout did bring one question to mind…

"Akaicchi, is there anywhere you want to go?" The two were rather aimless at this point, after all. Though hopefully Ryoji would be able to understand what the wolf meant if there was anywhere he had in mind.

[sonlights]

The pain was troublesome and yes, it was enough to give him a headache but with Ryoji's way of comforting the canine the God allowed himself to settle down under the male's touch. Though there was a heavy weight which pushed down on the pup's fragile element, but pushing it away. It could have been the change of the buildings that he knew nothing off and of course, adjusted himself to Ryoji's safety. Ears shifting down as he rubbed his head into the male's hand when having the chance. Not taking lord, as he listened to the male's words about this area, he would have to remember it.

Why did this place move in such a manner? He didn't know but by whatever reason, the canine shook his head as he looked up to nip at the other's fingers. To show his thanks, digging his nose into the male's hand before having to sneeze, falling back onto his back and staying there. Since his vision was now upside down, the younger wagged his tail in order to show that he was okay. Staying like he was, he rolled over before just laying on his side, thinking of what was there to do next. But there was hope, before their journey was to begin again, he was given another nickname.

Of course, it was horrible.

It was just as horrible as every other one he was given. At least it wasn't anything like Kagu's use of Pooch. He didn't know how he kept getting stuck with such horrible names which made the canine stay on his back and not even try to move as he began thinking back to where this had began. Why did this have to happen to him? Did he do something wrong? A shake of his head as he tried to get over it, the male rolled over and got back to his feet, slowly trotting back to the other as he looked up, a small head tilt since, where were they suppose to go?

Shiranui plopped down on her haunches, looking down at her grandson with a curious gleam residing in her black orbs. He looked worried, and it was completely understandable, but she left him alone with his thoughts for a few moments. She could all but see the thoughts racing around behind his eyes.

When he finally spoke it was him declaring his decision to try his best, he always was a motivated little pup. "Perfect, this trial will require nothing but your best." She knew it was unlikely that anything great would befall the puppy in their time at Hive City, but who knew? He would still have to live and try through everything that the awful scientists had to throw at them, hopefully not anything as awful as the snowstorm.

When the young puppy shook his head to her question she sighed, yes, Amaterasu was notoriously hard to find nowadays. "We’ll find her eventually, not to worry, I saw her once, and I’ve seen glimpses of her around the city."

"Old am I?" She made an amused noise, she gave him a quick lick on the head for his contagious optimism. "I’m sure of it, and you have me and your mother to help you out."  Her stomach however, was not quite as optimistic and she felt as if she were about to vomit. 

[sonlights]

The younger mimics the actions of his grandparent, he too resting on his haunches and turning his obsidian gaze towards the elder. When she speaks, he straightens himself a bit more, hold his head up high. ❝I will complete the trial then! For all of us, for everyone!❞ his words are especially honest since the matter at hand is a serious one. Though the people he has already encountered here are nice, he’ll have to try hard not to get distracted.

Though he is trying hard to seem serious, he cannot stop his tail from wagging back and forth at the mention of his mother. The black chalk like substance on his tail creates sweeping arches on the ground from its movement. He loved his mother very much; there was no reason to contain that. ❝We’ll have to find her then.❞ He yips excitedly. ❝Then we can all be together. It would be nice!❞

Chibiterasu lets out a low sounding whine in the back of his throat at the lick he was given, only pretending not to actually like it. He didn’t mind it in the least actually! ❝No task is impossible if we’re all together.❞

His ears flick forward, recalling the state he found the elder in. He looks up with curious eyes, head tilted to the side and a tiny paw placed on top his Grandmother’s larger one. ❝How are you fairing? You didn’t look too well when I found you.❞

Edward pet the pup’s head gently and he secured the dog in his jacket. He laughed as the dog’s legs tickled his stomach as it kicked around. For a puppy he was very clean and his fur so soft. Edward looked down and kissed the puppy on the top of the head. He readjusted his jacket and bounded towards his home. The prince wrapped his arms tightly around his waist securing the dog and hurriedly to show off his friends his new companion.

"Fret not dear dog soon you shall meet my friends and then you’ll have a nice big dinner! How do you feel about a steak? Yummy steak? Ahhh you’re very much adorable." He ruffled the dog’s head and thought aout having his own dog to match his own white horse. 

[sonlights]

The ivory pup wiggles around and adjusts himself a little more at the feeling of the vibrations the male’s laughter was causing. It wasn’t a particularly odd sensation, just one that made him want to shake his fur out for some reason or another. Due to his current place nestled inside the jacket, that wasn’t the best thing to do at the moment. But as soon as his paws touched the level ground once more, he’d be sure to shake his fur all out since it was more than likely getting all mused up being held between two articles of clothing.

When the human places a kiss a top his head, Chibiterasu’s ears flick and he turns his head to head upward to try to get a better peak at the man. What a curious action! He really did hope the person didn’t get fur in his mouth. The pup was no stranger to the fact that he shed. All the fur on his figure had to go somewhere; at least it kept him warm to an extent. He doesn’t mind the jogging once it starts, since he knew by the placement of the human’s arms he wouldn’t fall.

It was quite a pace to be going at without actually having to move his own legs though. Very exciting!

At the word dog, Chibiterasu huffs lightly, trying once more to eye his current and friendly capture. ❝Arf!❞he vocalizes before lowering his head to watch the passing scenery below his feet.

Steak is an interesting topic to be brought up, and the pup’s ears perk up. Well, friends were interesting too, but steak even more so. He had seen it, and smelt it a few time before, but was never allowed to indulge in the nice smelling meat because none was ever left for him. It was sad really, but finally given a chance to try it seems very nice.

❝Bark! Bark!❞ he can’t help but question after shaking his head in reaction to the ruffling. He knows better than to expect a direct answer to his questions. Maybe he’d get lucky this time.

Afternoon Slumber [closed/Chibiterasu]

It was the era of a new milestone; Amaterasu had spent nearly a month romping the streets of Hive City. The shock of being introduced to a city far ahead of her millennium was still crawling in the back of her head; yet, she had little care because she had been gifted a proposal, a challenge of sorts. Of her first two weeks, the city had been carved inside out by what seemed an endless blast of winter; a storm that spared no one – not people, not fauna and especially not the flora of Hive City. As far as the eye could see, plant life was absolutely miserable. Trees had been stripped naked and loomed gloomily over the sides of streets and flowers had been wilted to mere clumps of brittle browns.

A girl, Ibuki, had asked of her to remedy the trees of Hive City, and Amaterasu had shaken paws on it. If there was one quality most prominent about Amaterasu it was that she was notoriously stubborn. She held the title for the thickest of skulls, accompanied with the valor of lions, and she would not back down from a friendly proposal, especially not one that could shed happiness into the lives of others. She would begin this ‘quest’ of sorts in the once lively and rolling hills of District Six, or the proclaimed ‘Green Sector’. 

The sector bore that miserable trait akin to the other five sectors; filled with nothing but death and little to no color. Surely the state of what was once a luscious park of fertility was an overbearing influence on the residents of said district. It was her plan to remedy this immediately. No tree would be spared from the ink that bled from the tip of her tail; not even the newly trees that sprung to life and attempted to rake its’ leafy branches down her back as if they were its’ bramble-y claws. Paired with both wit and the means to tackle on the trees, Amaterasu’s quest was not skewered by the fact some trees could move, nor the fact that she could only use her blessing four times each day. It was a continuous cycle for her, and most of her days consisted of her painting life into flora and eating. It was tiring to say the least, and she still had a great portion to go.

Hard labor always rekindled the urge to sleep, and the goddess was no exception to an impending nap. A drowsiness flooded her head, and Amaterasu was fraught with an unbearable urge to scrounge for nearby shelter; preferably underneath the shade of a newly-blossomed tree. She was a guru of sleep. The hound would sit tidy at the base of the festering oak, inspecting her handy-work before a brief yawn escaped her maw, and before she knew it she was already using her forelimbs as a cushion for her head as her eyes shut tightly, the light purr of traffic far from here becoming her lullaby. Sleep left her vulnerable to become victim of the clutches of animate trees, and even victim to the tip of her son’s wet nose (although she was unaware he was even in this city, let alone here!), and she would care not. She just wanted to sleep.

[sonlights]

Out of all sectors, he couldn't tell which any of them were, a sad fate that was given to him since he was unable to read. Obsidian optics that had the ability to see things for what they were but sadly, reading various letters only brought the canine to tilt his head in matter of confusion. Without someone to guide him around (he didn't know where Ryoji was at this moment), he was forced to just venture around until something stuck out to him. Though, moving around and having been dog-napped many a time, exiting homes he had wondered where he had found himself now.

Even in his looks around, there was something out of placed he had noticed. The God wagging his tail from left to right at the sight that was far from him. He had heard that there was a special deity locked away into this world as well. There were stories that she was here, even his grandmother had spoke words to Chibiterasu that his mother was somewhere, but he hadn't believed to run into her so soon. Though, even as he didn't want her to be here in the first place, he was happy which he tentatively shown as he stayed in one place. One paw shifted forward but he wondered, if this was a good idea. They had so much to worry about and even themselves

Contemplation high as he wondered what to do, he could only go for what he believed to be the only option. Trotting towards his Mother, staring at the crimson markings of her fur, seeing how sound asleep she was. It wasn't new to him for she could practically sleep through anything or anyone. It made him wonder how she was able to do so much during her time of saving various places, those stories she would tell in order to bring him to sleep. Walking around her, the pup believed he could do something about this, using his brush-like tail to draw on her features.

Not as if she would be paying attention anyway.

After he was done, placing little X's and O's on her face. He thought of one more action to make her wake up, the dog took a few step backs before speed walking her way and jumping up just to land right on her back. Even though he wasn't a puppy anymore, well, like the smaller ones, he knew that this was probably enough to wake her up with all his weight but even with this had he rolled off her body and fell onto his side.

How could this happen to him, the canine embarrassed as he rolled around, knocking into his Mother as he did so. She needed to wake up, how was he to tell her how fine he was doing and happy to see her if she would not wake up, if worse came to worse, he didn't want to see either so getting back to his feet had he laid right back onto her body. Whimpering loudly in order to wake her up.

[paintinggoddess-deactivated2015]

Shiranui nuzzled the side of his face, “I’m alright.. Don’t worry. I’m glad you’re okay too.”  The older wolf could tell he was upset so she lay her head on his until he woofed at her. He seemed to be okay after that so the goddess lifted her head, smiling at the pup. Looking up at the sun the goddess took a deep breath, the sun was warm and the air was clear, she was quite content, her entire family was here with her.

"Perhaps you’re right little one! Maybe you are here to save us." She agreed, no use in shattering the little pups dreams, maybe he would get them out of the city in the end who knows? "Have you seen your mother yet, little one?" She questioned, cocking her head to the side. The pups next question nearly broke her heart in half.

"I don’t know, Child… I don’t know."

[sonlights]

The reassurance was much needed though it did place weight on his heart, surely, he was to stay strong even as the other tried her best to make the situation better. Was it wrong for him to worry? He had learned throughout his journey that being alone wasn't the best thing, even he did not like it. So making sure his eyes stayed on that of the other's, he didn't know what he would do if something was to happen again. As he raised up his own head to see what was above, he took notice to the sun. Closing his eyes, ❝Then I shall try my best!❞ That's all he could do, though some fates were already laid out and even he couldn't change those.

A tilt of his head as she shook it from left to right, showing that he had not seen that of his Mother but had heard she was about. He could only hope that she was doing fine, which prompted his next question. ❝I've heard that she's been fine, using her abilities by one human.. though they said you were old.❞ A small bark in a sigh sense as he stated the phrases towards his Grandparent, maybe it wasn't the best thing to say.

His thoughts lingered, he could only wonder if he could save everyone. His last battle was by a long shot, but even he didn't want to dwell on that for so much longer. ❝I'll find us a way out, I'm sure of it. Someone will help me to help us..! That's how it worked back home.❞

[offourseasons-blog]

…A market? 

Looking at the flyer he found in the third sector. He ripped the flyer off the wall and took a better look at it. According the flyer the market would be in the fifth sector, selling all kinds of stuff; Food to books and whatnot. And not forget to mention, it is also cheap. I suppose it cannot hurt to take a look? Placing his pointing finger on the corner of his lips as he thought about it for a second, soon finding himself unable to resist the temptation. Cheap food is always appreciated and he would be a fool to waste such opportunity. Though he only does this when it comes to food, always looking at the price and the quality of the food. No wonder why he and The Netherlands got along so well like they did. 

When he arrived at the market he stopped in his tracks to look around. It looks different than I expected it to be.As the markets he is used to are very different compared to this one. That didn’t ruin the fun as he soon enough found himself buying several items before putting it in his bag. 

His stomach growling soon enough, placing a hand on his stomach as he tilted his head a bit to the right, closing his eyes. ” …Maybe I should go find a food stand soon ” Noticing a concession stand nearby. That looks good enough   

Or not. 

Ground trembling as the tree had fallen onto the stand with all it’s might. Eyes widening slightly in response as he was just about to run towards the stand to check if everyone was alright, but was stopped when he saw a small creature approaching him.

Familiar markings causing him to stop, looking at the small animal as it whimpered. ” … ” the Japanese remained silent for a little while as he thought about what could have happened. So that’s why… taking a few steps forward before approaching Chibiterasu and picking him up. 

” It’s alright ”

He told him as he pulled him closer, one arm wrapped around the animal as he turned around so Chibiterasu could see that no one was harmed. ” No one got hurt ” approaching the stand, but remained at a safe distant as the owner approached both of them. ” Are you alright sir? ” Kiku asked the man who stopped to talk with them. ” Hm? Yeah I’m fine ” rubbing the back of his head, ” To be honest this ain’t the first time I’ve seen something like this in this blasted city ” turning around to look at his heavily damaged stand. ” But the good news about this is that I can now move to that bigger building just around the corner so at least that’s something. Better make an announcement soon about this, drop by if you’d like once it’s finished and we got that tree away from here ” the man taking his leave again as he rushed off to the opposite direction.

” See? ”  

[sonlights]

He hadn't expected someone to pick him up, during his time, he was always the one carrying others. This brought him a vague sense of nostalgia but it did not linger long as he wondered what was to happen. The tight arm placed around his flesh, the canine opened his eyes to see if they were going to leave the area but even in this situation did he feel at ease. He couldn't tell why but things felt so familiar, he felt as if he was back home even in a land where he truly wasn't. Where did this familiarity come from? He couldn't even tell. Home was so far away, he couldn't even recall if those he dubbed his friends would be in his sight since he was dragged here, though he worried for their safety, he was sure they would be OK.

Even though he had messed up with his abilities, cutting down a tree that had ruined something made by human hands, he only felt more and more responsible because of it. Surely he didn't think anything would be able to cheer him up, even with words filled with reassurance, he wondered why the other spoke such a way. Was he able to tell that the deity had did wrong? Some would call it an act of Divine Retribution but it did not feel that way, someone could have been hurt and from this, his ears dropped down as he began to whimper. Usually as happy go lucky as he could be, he wondered how much work and time did the people put in to create something like that.

No way to use his rejuvenation, he felt slightly useless, even though he shouldn't have felt that way. There was a point in time where the only ability he knew was Sunrise but that only came with being the Son of the Sun Goddess. He was to get stronger but with powers ripped away, even that if people didn't believe in him, there were other methods to make him seem weak. Paws raised to cover his muzzle somewhat, Chibiterasu was slightly confused for why the other took him towards someone else. Here was the moment of truth, the canine had anticipated what words may have came but what he heard allowed him to uncover what he was trying to hide.

As if he couldn't believe the words that had came from the man, hearing that he could move to a much better place. His ears perked up and with a wiggle of his nose, the canine's tail slowly began to shake back and forth. He made sure to keep it away from the other's outfit, not wanting to get the chalk-like substance from his tail onto the fabric. To prove the worth that his actions did not do anything bad brought the pup to bark as well, relieved that this was the solution that came from the worse of what he believed outcomes to happen when cutting down a tree.

His paws now settled before him, he felt proud that things went a way that held no worry. Showing his interest in Kiku enough to look up and bark at the other, a type of praise for doing such thing to show him this concept. He was happier than before, leaning his head down so that the God could lick at the male's hand, showing his appreciation once more than before. If he could do something for the other, he would try but being only a small (that word rather stretched in Chibiterasu's terms) pup, he couldn't do that much. So rather than trying to wiggle himself down, he continued to run his tongue along the male's hand.

[piercevilliers]

Oh no, here it comes.

Pierce prepared to turn tail and run but he hesitated for whatever reason and there was a bite to his leg — not his leg exactly, but the fabric? His heart was pounding, was he being toyed with like with Boris all the time? He began to shake like a little leaf and just waited for this to be over. Maybe because the puppy was small, he could get away after it tried taking its first real bite. It was a small sliver of hope and he just waited and waited but nothing ever came.

“…? What?”

Pierce was indeed the Dormouse and while he couldn’t get the exact of what the puppy was saying, there was a gist of understanding. Something about rice? He exhaled a long breath, his heart’s rhythm slowing down by ticks and tocks to a moderate pace. He gave a small nod, still shaking as he reached out and gave a gentle pat to the small pup’s muzzle. 

“You’re not eating me? Thank you…I don’t know what I should call you, though?”

“Maybe Poochi White, kind of like Peter’s name since he’s the White Rabbit, but you’re a dog…so Poochi?”

[sonlights]

He thought he was doing a favor, in order to try and calm the other down for he seemed on edge. He didn't understand but sadly, he wouldn't invest so deep in it. If he had any of his abilities, he knew that he would try his best to make sure that the other felt safe but cutting things down wasn't the best thing he could do. So sitting down on his hind legs, he looked up at Pierce as the Dormouse had spoken, it seemed that he understood Chibiterasu if only a little. He was amused, he didn't see why the other was so afraid of being eaten and besides, he'd didn't think the other was something he'd put on a menu any day.

With a nod to show that he wasn't going to eat the other, when a hand was placed on his muzzle Chibiterasu lightly licked at the others hand softly, his wet nose pressed against the slots of the male's fingers before sneezing accidentally. Knocking himself backwards and onto his back, as the pup laid on it's back, puzzled that it had happened.

❝Bark bark bar--❞

The name was horrible, this couldn't not have happened. Not only that, it reminded him of the name that Kagu gave him once they have met. All in all, Chibiterasu hated bad nicknames and this was one of the many, he just disliked them in general. Laying on his back and not even trying to get back up, he wondered if the name would just go away. Was this punishment for sneaking on the other's hand.. Most likely.
