The Journey to Mythical Glory

CHAPTER 5- DUMDUM AHEAD

“Good morning!”Shou said as soon as she saw Taro went out of his tent. “G'morning...”He said then yawned. “Breakfast is ready. We have to fill up for the adventure.”She lively said as he give him a plate.

*If you are confused about something, please leave a comment*

“Thank you for the food!”They said in unison then ate.

------

“First up, Fujin's Palace.”Taro said as he get his things. “Okie!”She answered excitedly.

------

As they walk, a silence between them was noticed. It was awkward yet not so awkward at the same time.

Then a group of young men is going to pass by. Seeing this, Shou's attention was caught because of their attractive looks and fair complexion.

“Can you hide for a while?”She asked Taro. “Eh? Nande?!”Taro then said. “Just!”Then she pushed him into the bushes.

When the 3 young men was almost near, she took of her clothes to show off her complex creation skills. She was trying to create a large bow to use for her to catch an eagle.

The young men saw this and was almost fell for her. With her silk green short hair, fair skin, and a beautiful body, who wouldn't fall at first sight?

But unfortunately, when she shoot the eagle, turns out, it was a shapeshifter. The 3 other young men too.

They all got mad at her for shooting their ally.

“I- uh, I'm sorry... I just uh-”She started to panic. A flirt, fail.

“Hey Fellas!”Taro came out. “You with her huh? You were following us, aren't you?!”One of them said.

“No, no, no!”Shou said nervously. “Shut up! Your making things worse.”Taro whispered. “Fumikawa's done...”One of them rushed to say that one of the Guy's dead.

“You're gonna pay for that Missy!”The center guy said. “What no! I'm sorry. I could heal him! He's probably not dead!”She said almost tearing up.

“Oh really? So you're a Kami now?” The guys said.

“No wait-”As soon as Taro said that, they shapeshift into wolves.

They attacked them and so they have to dodge. But little miss smarty here tried to defend. She created a sword and swung it to them.

They backed off a bit but still continue to attack. Taro then kicked one of them, flew to some parts of that grassy land and hasn't come back.

Then Shou, once again created a bow and arrow and shot at them. They transformed back and was left there paralyzed.

“You- you shot them once, why aren't they moving?”Taro asked in wonder. “Oh, when I creted those, I made it with poison which can paralyzed or kill a person.”She said.

“Let's go...”Taro then said after confirming that none of them is going to stand in about an hour.

------

“Why'd you do that for?!”Taro asked Shou. “The what?!”Shou is confused. “You hit that bird?! Well it turns out it was a shape shifter!”Taro annoyingly asked.

“I was trying to get their attention! Maybe in some ways, I'll make friends!”She shouted back. “What?! Am I not enough Shou?”He asked, obviously he's jealous.

“I- I didn't mean that way!”Taro then blushed explaining himself to her. “What? What are you saying?”Shou asked. “Forget it, we're almost there”Taro said.

-----

A silence between them was created after the feud, this time it was really awkward, the atmosphere is very bad.

But Taro couldn't let that happen, he needed to talk to her. “Sh... Uh, Shou!”He shouted, because she was from a distance.

“Hm?”She looked back at him with a blank face. “I- uhm... Can you please walk slowly?”He asked as he ran towards her.

“Ah, yeah... Sorry. I thought we should hurry up, so I walked that way.”She said with a smile.

“Wait, you're not mad at me?”Taro asked. “Why would I be mad at you?”She asked. “Well, because I shouted at you earlier.”He said.

“It's my fault, I wasn't thinking properly back then. And all I think about was having fun with guys...”She admitted.

“I'm sorry...”Shou then said to him. “I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have been too harsh on you.”He said.

------

The awkward silence was broke with laughter and giggles from the two. And because of that, they reached the Gates of Fujin's Palace without thme noticing until...
