Chapter 61 - Chapter 59: War's Proposal

Vwoosh!

He flew past a building at sub-sonic speeds. "It seems I'm regaining my strength and energy. I can somehow still sense some residual from the curse." Hakai, even with his restricted vessel, could somehow sense the curse. He landed on a smaller roof and launched himself off.

Vwooom!

He stared into the passing windows of a building. "I look great, but something's missing." He told himself, staring at the new outfit and haircut. "A katana?" He described himself as he prepared to land on a sidewalk.

Puff!

He landed beside a store and noticed his reflection in the window.

"Looks like my fit is missing a piece." So he told himself, scratching his chin.

"Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi," he chanted. A legendary Katana, only wielded by a God who represents virtue, appeared in his right hand. He wore a belt meant to sheathe a katana. Held tight with his belt, he swung his hips around, looking at himself.

"Now, this completes the look." He shouted with shining eyes. "I wonder if she'd think I look more Godly?" Mai's response to his new appearance filled his thoughts with ideas.

Boosh!

He leaped upward and towards the location of her house, leaving dust behind.

Plop!

A strange figure walked threw Hakai's jump. His footstep cleared the dust. As the dust cleared around him, it revealed a buff and tall white man, wearing full ancient greek armor and a helmet with a plume made of horsehair. In his right hand, he wielded a spear. He bore a shield for protection on his left, much like Hachiman of War. He must've inspired him, somehow, somewhere.

"I presume that man was Hakai God?" He said to himself as he levitated in the air, taking off in the opposite direction.

"I sense this country. The negativity that is surrounding it is astonishing. These people, their emotions, and stories are very dark." The figure told himself, looking down while flying through the beautiful city of Tokyo.

Dun-dun-dun

The tall figure stood in front of the Hachiman Shrine. He stared at the entrance for a bit before walking in.

"The dimensional bridge is somewhere near." The figure said aloud as he reached an arm into the bridge connecting the two plains.

"The scroll said, here?" He uttered as his body flickered and disappeared with the light.

Wham!

"Mai-San?" Hakai knocked on the window. "Kind of hungry here!" He shouted as he slid the window, and it opened.

"Huh?" He slid the window open in surprise. "She forgot her window." He stepped into her room, confused about his following actions. But, he was brimming with curiosity.

"The dresser? Closet? Bed? Desk? What should I do?" Hakai asked as he stood still. "No matter!" He threw himself up in the air and bounced into her bed. "Woah! Fun, fun." He said to himself while stretching out in the bed. "I wonder where she is?" He told himself as he picked up on a soft scent. "Smells so good!" He said, rolling over to his side and planting his nose into her blanket.

"Hmm... So soft..." He told himself, succumbing to exhaustion and falling asleep on her bed.

"If it isn't the wanna-be War God?" The strange figure said to the greek armored man.

"Hachiman of War, a pleasure to see you, but will you cut the mockery?" The deep voice of the greek figure told Hachiman as he followed with a proposal. "I have news. The Gods of Earth have come with a plan to rival the power of The Gods of Heaven." He told Hachiman as golden light traced his glowing eyes.

"Ares, what are you cooking up now?" Hachiman asked the Greek God of War as he turned his back and opened the door to the main hall. "Follow me. My interest is piqued." Hachiman gestured for him to walk before him into the hall.

***

"Ama-Cha?" Hakai uttered, walking behind a slender woman's figure.

"Ama-Chan?" Hakai thought to himself in the present time.

"Why... are you here...?" He asked as the old version of Amaterasu turned around with a smile and open arms. Yet, as he dove in for a hug, Hakai saw himself go threw her and immediately rose out of bed. "Huh!?" Hakai's body was drenched in sweat, feeling a sudden gaze, and he looked over to the open door. "Mai-San...?" He uttered her name, shocked to see her standing there.

"Haki-Kun, why are you in my bed?" The confused Mai asked while holding her phone in her left hand and pausing in motion.
