[Excuse me if I get some Shinto myths wrong, I just started reading into Shinto.]

    "Stupid life! Stupid Olympians! Stupid everything!" Ares grunted he was reduced to a third of a god. Weaker than a puny demigod in his eyes. "Then that barnacle's child takes his title of 'God Of War' from me!" Ares looked over to his companion he had found in the depths of Tartarus, "Kiri are you even listening!" The newly found companion looked at him bewildered. 

       "You said something?" Kiri asked innocently, she knowingly pissed Ares. Ares was so enraged he threw his makeshift javelin at Kiri's head she blocked it with her katana, Kusanagi No Tsurugi (grass cutter). Making the fiery winds of Tartarus blow in full force at the javelin shattering it into trillions of small pieces. Kusanagi No Tsurugi was a katana with a greenish hilt and a blade that was silver shining like the rising sun of Japan. The katana itself was as tall as a person who was 3'1. Kiri herself stood at the tall height of 5'11.

     "Remember who I am, I am the daughter of the kami, Amaterasu. My mother guided me to find this sword. Ares, you are out of my league. Even before you were turned into a mortal." Kiri scoffed at Ares' weak display of power and began to walk alongside Ares, she showed him who's boss. Kiri thought, as she sheathed Kusanagi No Tsurugi if she ever wanted to return Japan to its full glory again she would have to escape this Greek underworld.

        "Kiri! You nightmare! See what you have cost us? You've killed everyone your evil!" An elderly lady shouted at the child. Just a moment ago Kiri was killing everyone in the clan now she was crying like a nutcase. 

       "I told Emperor Meiji you were no good you destroyed everything our crops! Our people! Everything. Why won't your father just end your life already you're worthless. You're a disease everywhere you go thousands decreeing we can't touch you so absurd!"

       Kiri was drenched in blood her body being a red puddle and her face covered in mud, she was unclean and close to death. Unacceptable for the daughter of the Emperor, what she's been told her whole life.

     "If your father won't do it, I'll do so myself." 

      The lady took her dagger and slashed Kiri's chest causing permanent damage a scar she would remember for the rest of her life. The amount of blood loss from Kiri made her to pass out the lady whispered to herself 'Pathetic' before finishing the girl off. 

   ...............

     "Where am I?" She woke up in a palace filled to the brim with precious metals such as gold and diamonds there were chandeliers made of gold embedded with iron. In the middle of it all was a woman with a luxurious white robe a golden crown embedded with rubies, and hooped earrings. Her face was pale albeit beautiful. 

        "Oh my daughter! You look even more precious than all those years ago!"  The beautiful woman flew, yes flew to embrace Kiri. 

       "Mother?" Kiri stuttered at her words, for all this time she had an alive and living mother. Her father has told her that during the reign of the shogunates she was assassinated for believing in a monarchy. Kiri wasn't sure HOW to react, after all Kiri was bullied her whole life for being a monster who shouldn't exist. And now she wants to act all motherly?! Outrageous. She thought. "Get off my wench." Kiri said in disgust, her mother was shocked at such behavior from a young woman. 

         "Do you KNOW WHO I AM? I AM THE KAMI, AMATERASU CHILD OF IZANAMI AND IZANAGI! KAMI OF THE SUN! YOU MY CHILD LACK RESPECT AND I SHALL TEACH YOU RESPECT!" Amaterasu's giant staff was lifted up and Kiri gulped. Kiri's eyes widened she unknowingly pissed off the queen of heavens and ruler of the sun, and now she was going to pay.
