The Cursed Iris

Sprout 47: Katsumi the New Storm God

Katsumi, Chiyoko, and Susanoo all sat in a circle around a campfire, "This is still a lot to wrap my head around. My little brother's god half died, so the Storm God Susanoo decided to take over that," Chiyoko said.

Katsumi and Susanoo sighed, "Yeah we know," they said in unison.

Chiyoko stared at them, "Now I'm curious about something Susanoo," she said.

"Yes?" he asked.

"You remember when we first talked right? So have you found that?"

He smiled at her, then he looked at Katsumi. "You know what, I think I have now that I think about it. Thanks to this little idiot right here."

Katsumi didn't know what they were referring to, "I'm glad my brother could do that. That is a little thing he has a special talent for," Chiyoko chuckled. She then stood up, and she had that look in her eyes.

"You want to spar, don't you?" Katsumi asked.

Chiyoko smiled. "I want to see the power of the new storm god firsthand."

Susanoo and Katsumi both locked gazes and gave a large grin, "Alright then. We won't be holding back," they stated in unison.

"I'd prefer that you didn't to be honest." Chiyoko replied as she stretched her arms.

Susanoo disappeared. "Katsumi remember that your sister has that soul force of hers, so we'd better get on the attack early to not give her any chances to use it."

Katsumi nodded, and then he activated something that seemed like a different variation of his stage one ability. Chiyoko noted that his energy felt different as well. It was almost like the time when Susanoo first manifested.

"See I was working with Minori a little bit after she had come here, and she helped me gain a little control over that energy I had against Hokusai. I'm going to call it Storm Surge," Katsumi explained with a large grin.

Chiyoko stared at him astonished. She always knew her brother had a special talent for things, but she didn't know it was to this extent, Now I wonder can he use multiple elements, or will it be just his flames? This could be an interesting match, she thought.

Katsumi attacked her with astonishing speed that she couldn't even register it, "Fire Demon: Griping Fang!" he yelled as he punched her in the stomach.

Chiyoko chuckled. "That wasn't bad."

Turns out that Chiyoko blocked the attack, but it was only barely, "This is an interesting little trick," Chiyoko noted.

"Damn it how did she block it?" Katsumi wondered. He then jumped away, and as he did he took in a deep breath. "Fire Demon Bellow!" he yelled.

Chiyoko stared at the breath attack that came towards her, "His flames definitely have a different feel to them. Almost as if they have another element added to them," she mumbled to herself as the flames hit her. A large explosion then followed

Katsumi landed with a large smile. "Hmm maybe I should've held back."

"I feel disrespected now," Chiyoko said as she blasted away his flames with her energy. "Since you think that you're stronger than me. I'm not going to hold back now."

She ran towards him, "Pyro's Fury!" she yelled as the white flames surrounded her. That form scared Katsumi way too much, but he couldn't back down. Chiyoko formed a sickle and chain of the flames, "Pyro's Harvest!" she yelled as she threw the chain at him.

Katsumi tried to dodge it, but the chain seemed to follow his movements. "Don't do that Katsumi," Chiyoko smiled. The chain wrapped around his left leg, and Chiyoko used it to slam him into the ground. She held the sickle to his neck with a smile. "Seems like I win yet again."
