    The veil is a mystical sheet that protects the entirety of the human world from the other side. The veil is cracking, slowly but surely. The world has no choice but to call upon the Kami. The Kami are being petty though; the last time they bestowed power to the humans, bad shit happened. They still have a grudge about how much time and energy they wasted protecting them. Even with the overall refusal amongst the citizens of Takamagahara, Amaterasu rules that every higher Kami, including Susanoo, must endorse a human of their choosing in the next 10 years. Amaterasu doesn't find this very pleasing either, but what choice does she have? If the veil breaks, and the other side takes over the human world, they might find the ambition to challenge the higher beings. Amaterasu cannot take such a chance. With the cracks in the veil increasing, what will happen when Susanoo makes a hasty, last minute decision and chooses the person least fit for the job? ------------------- Here we go again. Another story I abandon then randomly show up to update a half chapter after 6 months of nothingness. -WARNINGS- Cursing Homosexuality (aka gayness) (p.s. i only put this story as mature because this is my first time doing a story like this and i really don't want to get flagged down-)

    Six years after having been sentenced to life imprisonment for the massacre of her entire village, Shun Shutsuki is recruited by the master of Gushiken Paranormal Organization and taken out of prison. Shun is the possessor of the Godai Shakujō, a hereditary ability of the Shutsuki Clan, which appears only once in several generations and manifests itself in the form of a powerful anti-monster weapon. According to Kagami Gushiken, the master of the Organization, Shun wasn't herself during the massacre; she was possessed by a demon. However, this does not appear to be the entire truth; only Doctor Tsunan Hitachiin and the Master seem to know exactly what happened that fateful night. Evidently, the other members of the Organization are not at ease- to say the least- with the idea of having a "mass murderer" amongst them, with Tsunan's fan-club being particularly averse to Shun's presence within the organization. Even if monsters are absolutely real, none of them believe in the existence of demons and much less in demonic possession. Everything becomes complicated when Naoto Higaonna, an ex-member of the organization- who is now working as a high-school teacher- kills a group of students out of the blue before committing suicide. Things become even more complicated when the members of the Organization discover that Shun is constantly being hounded and persecuted by a certain Tadashi Honjō, with whom Shun seems to share a long-time bond. Who is Tadashi Honjō? Or rather, what is he? But, above it all, who is Subaru? What is Shun hiding so desperately? Will she be able to survive within the Organization? Will she return safely from the missions assigned to her? Author's Note: This story is dedicated to all the fans of manga and anime.

    Something wicked is shifting in Seattle. Karina Lang has enough on her mind dealing with college applications, her mother's ailing health, and busting her butt after school at the café she works at. Forget about boys. With all that is going on the last thing she needs in her busy schedule is to be mugged by a band of thugs before work. Her destiny is more important than she could ever imagine. Out of the shadows, a mysterious stranger emerges-her rescuer. Coincidence? Not for him. Devyn St. Cyr reveals a startling truth about Karina-she is a Kitsune-a fox shifter, and she must befriend him to gain the answers she needs. However, uncovering the secret of her heritage threatens more than just her worldview, but also her life. Regardless of her feelings for the dreamy, steamy Devyn, Karina finds herself on unsure footing with him and a hot target for every ambitious otherworldly creature. Falling in love won't keep her alive. As she struggles with her rare gift, Devyn supports her, protects her, and challenges her. But in order for Karina to survive, she must do what no other Kitsune in a century has accomplished: acquire nine tails.

    It didn't have to be me. No, it could have happened to anyone. I unknowingly gave up everything I held to be true, and for the sake of what? To become convinced I'd lost my sanity? If I had the choice? I would have preferred that none of this ever happened- that this was all some sort of bizarre dream and I'd wake up to a normal, comfortable reality...

    (MLP Fanfic) Somewhere on the eastern boarder of Equestria, there lies the nation-state of Kirikara. Kirikara is home to the kirin, a pony-dragon hybrid race thought to be merely a myth. After their land was invaded by the vile western dragons, the kirin went into hiding, and soon isolated themselves from the rest of Equestria with an enormous wall. Ever since, the kirin have maintained a defensive state, always training new warriors, only leaving Kirikara or letting in outsiders in times of extreme circumstances. On this day, one of those times would come.
