The class day wasn’t bad, but it was at face that Carlos would pass some homework for us at end, moment that the energy fell suddenly. It happened a lot at street of some friends that just falls energy on the sacred place, what it was funny to know. Amerix and I walked until the university gate and went at street where the destiny separates us. Even the class being good, Amerix’s company was cozy where each day I pass to know better his likes and secrets, if still there is.
We said goodbye and each one following his direction, Tanuki finally could take out his head from the pocket and breathes with more purity. When I said that there is nobody around to snitch, he jumped from the pocked and grew up immediately with the leaves dancing around him. It still is magnificent his way to grow, looking like a Power Ranger morphing or a Pokémon appearing from Pokeball.
Nothing making sense.
– These classes are tedious, Master – he snaps his spine with the hands back.
– It’s university life – I return to walk. – Nothing is so easy as looks like. The teacher is good guy for who shared a work plan elaborating on first semester.
– I understand nothing what you say – he accompanies me –, but I’m with wish to review the village. You said that would go with me.
What isn’t lie of his part. The crazy Sunomono village with the expectative to know the masked one besides Kiba. Just what I do is sigh.
– Let’s have a lunch, but see if you don’t devise to introduce me to others – I pull a warning if he doesn’t want his ear pulled equal his eyes. – How you heard, Kona also knew from the assault of yesterday.
– It’s alright, Master, but they still want to meet you, mainly Takibi-San – Ah, yes! Right the crazy cow that tried to burn me and calf’s mother. I would go more by the kid.
– Alright, but without devising craziness.
He agrees with large smile and of confidence more and even more comprehensive. The city in high with extraordinary news, we need to discover these mysteries on the worst way possible: visiting the spiritual side of thing.

After the lunch and no necessary time of resting that I need to prepare psychologically, we arrived at Sunomono Village where we were received by Mr. Kegawa that looked like more genuine with our return and his staff landed. How he knew that we are seeking by Amaterasu, he wished blessing that we find the reason of strange behavior of village. Tanuki dresses his initial clothes, let’s say, and we enter the village by the same path that we did on Saturday. Tanuki goes forward with his exuberant belly and I follow very close of him to not be ripped out from him. Anyone who looks into my eyes is already reason for mess.
Coming back until the square where we met the kids and the crazy cow, today there are two erect men wandering and talking with their hands on sword scabbard, looking like guards from the region. That sector is peaceful, what lets me relieved. Tanuki walks more forward asking me if I had any place to go. I suggest a temple where is possible to meet his goddess and he accepted in claps, even without knowing if we will find wished answers. What made me ruffle a little is that, if at bar there were Yokais at middle, what to say at streets?
Tanuki pulled me to make questions with these armed men, what was for me a bad idea. These men can’t be a match for Tanuki, but they can share by village rumors about us being infiltrators or malefactors looking to harm the village. Approaching of these men, it was a brown horse and other, a goat of curled horns; they look at us with eyes that are attentive to complaints, it because I stay behind Tanuki to occult my eyes.
– Excuse me, men. Do you know how to arrive at Great Amaterasu’s temple? – Tanuki pulled the question with raised hand to signal.
– There is one at Southeast – replies the goat pointing at one street. – Just follow that direction, goes up the hill and will arrive where you want.
– Thank you by your help – Tanuki greets bowing down, what they repeated the gesture.
– Thank you very much – it was my turn to greet with raised hand. Tanuki and I turned to the indicated direction and we walk.
– Wait a moment! – one of them shouts behind, what made us stop. – You, orange wolf. Turn back.
It was a shiver down the spine. Speaks right with me for a new fight. I was scared to turn and come across with a katana being unsheathing to rip me off in only one movement while Tanuki in nothing would do. I turn back shaking and that horse approached of me facing with his cold eyes and crow’s feet on face. His eyes stared the mine and I just wanted to back off and run away from that agony. I already wonder he screaming the cursed name and preparing his sword or spell to kill me.
Serious. I was ready to turn back and run if it keeps like that. It’s terrifying to face and don’t wait the worst.
– Fortunately, I thought you were a wizard – the horse sighed on my face and backs off in posture. – You can walk stilly.
– Thanks – I say being incapable to sigh. I got frozen.
– I thank you by assessment, warriors – Tanuki appeared behind, landing on my shoulders and pulling back. – Have a good afternoon.
They thanked quiet nodding while Tanuki pulls me to get away from that embarrassing situation. Just with his help I could move and stay away from these men that I thought they would suspect that I’m the demon that torments everyone. Different from Takibi that discovered from afar, they neither close suspected.
Entering at a street that leads to a staircase, it was better than to stay stopped on that zone that turned dangerous too much. There is nobody going up neither going down, showing that there is space for us.
– I thought I was dead – anyway, I sighed cold.
– We don’t take suspicions of any crime – he says as if he was the Kitsune that so much call me. – At least, we are going at temple and see if Great Amaterasu helps us.
– And will she talk to us in person? – because he says like if she appears in flesh and bone to help her followers.
– The monks say that she does presence only for one soul in particular. I don’t know how it works. Just with them to know – he goes ahead in my defense.
– I hope that she help us really. We are needing her blessing.
Believing in her or not, it would cost nothing to ask help for a goddess that Tanuki believes and from his folk flock. I just don’t want that she eats me because of blood that I carry.
On that stair, we go up during two minutes and I was tired to force my legs, but not worse than Tanuki that pants dead looking like he would fall and roll down. I looked back and roofs of many houses are seen until Mr. Kegawa’s dojo and Sunomono sea, a beautiful view that distracted me for short time, but that could last more. The Sun isn’t lying on sea direction; the west is at staircase. I until can see a temple at top, looking like a beautiful structure. What to say inside?
We climb more long minutes and we’re facing the Sunomono temple with some houses behind us and walls surrounding the sacred place. The view of sunrise here must be to delight the eyes. I sweat a bit to go up the stairs and Tanuki achieved at point to bend to rest with the hands over thighs.
If he’s immortal and doesn’t feel hungry, thirst, sleep and nor wish, why would he have tiredness? I never will understand the concepts of immortality. The life is already complicated running away from Yokais.
I didn’t wait for him and I go in slow steps into the temple that finds itself of opened doors. The structure looks promising because it shines more inside. At entrance, there is a torii similar from the dojo, two creatures statues ahead that look like lions or dogs, red columns that sustain the gray tiles, walls that look like canvas or several windows and all built with wood painted in brown. Putting the paws and the looks around, the structure is really extravagant of charming. It’s seen many woods painted in light red with some pilasters and boards plated in gold that glitter the temple; ahead, at background of that square place, there is a big altar that had an immense statue of a white wolf sat with a collar similar to Tanuki, but red and the face is brushed in red with a big circle mirror behind and adorned of red ties with white that reflects all that place, remembering well the Catholic saint’s images. On that big room, there are seats on cushions lined up and spaced one from other, but there was only one person sat and meditation. I’m in doubt about the specie of person, but I was afraid to interrupt his worship or pray. I wanted to look for a monk to guide on that story, but there is nobody here. I should have invited Mr. Kegawa to come with us.
Tanuki approaches of me still panting after the hard climb and observed the temple with custom enchant. He already had seen a lot of temples in his youth, but it still surprises the older.
– Who is the wolf? – I ask pointing at statue at center, which he replies with pride.
– It’s the Great Amaterasu incarnated in sacred animal.
Incarnated… I keep reflecting on that word imagining if she has other face that occults from the eyes, an appearance that only gods have. The wolf is pattern for that crowd.
On real, for pop culture in general.
I look around and there is nobody; only our and the sat person. I didn’t want to disturb he for nothing, but I neither know how long he is here. I look to Tanuki and he expresses a bright love that I didn’t hope to see from the pulled eyes. Now, isn’t he mischaracterized to get in the temple? That exposed belly in nothing collaborates. He walks to the right side of temple until stays close from the person that meditates, what made me don’t have good thoughts about. He forgets that I’m reason for confusion. I had to accompany him because stay at door is a good opportunity for a Yokai appears behind and kidnaps me.
Tanuki bends to observe the person meditating without outside interference. I stand by his side scared that he pokes the poor soul of long clothes, long muzzle, long hairs, clear fur…
Oh, heaven! It’s the crazy cow! Is serious that she believes in Amaterasu? And will say that the goddess hates Kitsunes and that’s why she wanted to kill me? The head begins twirling in shocks, right now the moment she opens her eyes slow and notices that is being watching by two men that have nothing to do. By her expression, all the golden peace fell to the ground and raised the divine fury.
– Having answers from Great Amaterasu, Takibi–san? – Tanuki smiles as if doesn’t remember she attacked me last week.
– Her time is uncertain for us – the cow buffs –, and she replies. Did you come to meditate?
– At look for solutions that only she brings.
I hope. Tanuki is so confident in what he says.
Takibi finishes her meditation and passes to raise with careful to not step on her kimono. Standing, she gave a short look to Tanuki for after stares in my eyes, what made me blush and moves behind the guardian for security. It’s difficult to trust in someone on that side.
– Is your Sensei really a Kitsune, Yoshihiro-san? – she asks bending the head to look at me. She doesn’t give up.
– It’s what we trying to know – he nods. – Informed us that Kitsunes aren’t seen here centuries ago.
– It’s true. Only one can bring powers to jam his new kingdom any time. They’re never peaceful creatures. That’s because the village feels insecure when there is news about that devastating Yokai.
I didn’t like the way that the subject could end with a woman that guarantees with iron and fire that I’m such demon while we don’t find a responsible monk by temple, what agonies me even more with this weather of Japanese tension that I’m part as parasite. Takibi, as much as she may be being kind and polite, her look answers all that doesn’t demonstrate in verbs. My paws give staggering steps for the temple entrance as forgiveness to see how was the weather if the heat is higher than the city while they discuss. Amaterasu doesn’t must be so busy as I imagine.
At entrance, inside, the landscape gave me a joy; it’s an incredible photography that should register. I never wondered that would be so beautiful a view from the top of the village with the torii, sea and statues. I catch my phone and put on cam, adjusting the most right angle possible and take the pic.
Greatest disrespect to do it in a temple, but no one came to welcome me. How I’m tourist, it’s not a crime, as far as I know, to take pictures of temples.
Pic taken. I checked to see the landscape and I’ll keep saved in my phone until I get tired of it, what is impossible. I never thought to feel immediate peace observing a place so fantastic and magic on old times from that crowd. Peace was easily found by them; today, the stress and anxiety take care of many lives, including of one living being that is coming by entrance with face that who is very worried with something, almost stumbling with his big wood slippers. All was weird until gets worse when he gave a look on me in dread. Looks like a mister, a turtle, but had a greasy hair and was ugly bald with a hole in the middle of head, what was terrifying. He was short, but grabbed my shoulders and shook so hard that he had conviction.
– Are you one of them? – he asks so scared that it lets me tense. – You need to leave the temple hurry! – still shaking me.
– What’s happening? – I ask with the voice making vibrato effect, how they call. Tanuki and Takibi approach of us.
– Happened anything?
Takibi asked, but he didn’t answer right. He shakes more than I seeing a threat. Tanuki tries to calm down moving him away from me – what I thought holy from him – and asked if someone attacked the poor turtle of “shaved” head by half and sweating more than someone with viruses. Then we look at entrance and finds there someone bigger of closed face, skin more mucous, dark green and hairier, but bald too, looking like from the same species.
My life isn’t already good; now I’m before a conflict that doesn’t belong to me.
