It's been a while since the crowning. Amy disappeared somewhere, but despite that, I had kept my promise. Things were so boring, now.
I haven't checked my email in a while... When I opened the browser, it said my inbox was near full. I groaned. Great... MORE spam that made it through the filter... I was too lazy to file through it all to see what was actually spam and what wasn't. After the inbox was FINALLY empty, I got a phone call. it was Shukaku telling me to come over to Kyuibbi's house. Something told me Shukaku had something to do with it.

sorry this is so short. ><

The title is pretty self-explanitory...

Finally, the day of the crowning came. It seemed like it took FOREVER just to get all the preparations done. I chose a navy blue kimono with white doves on it. Even Dark Koumori came, in a black kimono with a pattern of red roses. We went down to the courtyard where the crowning was at. I noticed someone I hadn't seen before, but assumed they were from SOMEWHERE, or at least a member of the club. I walked over to her.
"Um... Hi," I said shyly. "I've never seen you before. What's your name?" She looked a bit surprised at my question.
"I'm Amy," she replied. "Who're you?"
"Koumori."
"And her?" Amy asked, gesturing towards Dark Koumori. I panicked a bit. I hadn't thought of what to say if someone asked that.
"I'm Hidama," She said unexpectedly.
So, I thought, she already thought this problem through.
"Nice to meet you, Amy. So, did you come from somewhere from the biju realm or with the club?" She didn't have time to get an answer. Shukaku ran up to where yuri was being crowned. He looked worried. The guards threw him into the crowd, and started talking frantically with Suki and Kyuubi.
Oh, great, whats wrong NOW? I groaned internally.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
dark: hidama means "falling star". i dunno why she chose that name for me, though.
me: it suits you.
dark: ...
kou: *sigh* -_-;;
~Kou and "Hida"
ok so i KNOW I've broken the second "biju commandment"...so PLEASE tell me if i can go on using alistar and lobos...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kyuibbi gathered all of the biju together, saying that we had to go to Yuri's crowning. I wasn't so thrilled about this. It seemed that everywhere the club went, trouble stirred up. But, how could we manage to cause a commotion in our own realm? I decided that there was no way, but i was SO wrong.
AT THE CASTLE
We had just arrived, and nothing was going well. the guards wouldn't let us in, so we had to sneak in. Then, we heard shouting from the hospital wing of the castle.
"Wait old-man Yoshida! You're not losing a granddaughter. You're gaining a grandson and 3 great-grandchildren!!"
I should've known, I complained inwardly. Shukaku may be one of the legendary nine, but he's also the only one capable of causing trouble HERE, of all places...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ok, i know its short...but i've been writing off the top of my head lately. ^^'
~koukou
Ok so switching back to Koumori's view.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't remember even throwing up again. When my eyes opened, I was in some place that I didn't even know about. Suddenly, Dark Dutch called out,
"Hey D. Shukaku, how you been?" I was a bit surprised, and looked at the person he was talking to. when I did, the "dark" winked at me and smiled.
"Oh I'm alright. Just ready to kill after I had been resting. Let me scare this prey before we kill her." He suggested. Now I was really freaked out. They brought me here to kill me?! When Dark Dutch nodded, he dragged me out, covering my mouth with his hand.
"Before you scream, I want to let you know that I'm on your side. The real me can control the darkness for now. Just leave now. Kyuubi will be waiting for you." So... this was the real Shukaku? Or another trick? I didn't want to trust him, but I just nodded and left as fast as I could.
I ran into Dark Koumori on my way. "What are you doing here?!" I was getting panicked. I thought she had been locked somewhere in the hotel...
"Relax, I felt the presence of those other Darks, and came over." I could tell she was just trying to calm me down, but I let her. I didn't want to be worried right mow. When we got to the boat, kyuuibi looked really mad that Dark Koumori was with me.
"Save the theatrics for later. She's on our side. Right now, you should find Shukaku. I think he's gonna try to fight D. Kyuuibi." I pointed toward the strange place.
~~~~~~~~~~
I continued one of shukaku's posts. the "title" of the post is a true fact. it's really hard to keep up.

All demons, bijuu or not, start out as humans. These humans become powerful in their life time. But they do not become demons until they die….with an incredible amount of hate and sin in their souls, as well as a desire not to die.
To put these factors into perspective, let us start with ‘power in life’.
Humans that become demons are usually old kooks that have managed to hold onto most of the power they had in their prime. They have enough chakra to destroy landscapes, invoke natural disasters, etc. But doing so would almost kill them.
Humans that become bijuu, however, can perform the same feats without bringing themselves to death’s door. It’s not something they can do twice a day, but they’re at the limit of the human ability.
Next, hatred.
Hatred in demons is usually ‘I hate the world for not respecting me’. Bijuu hatred, however, is usually caused by a great injustice, or great trauma. Examples include:
Shukaku: Father was an abusive drunk, mother dead, himself a drunk, desired to control the sand and wind (which killed him), liked by no one, stc
Okami Shichibi: He was a samurai, the leader of his nomadic clan, in life; from the far northern lands. He was your typical brutal warlord, towering stature, bulging muscles, big teeth, not to mention loads of white hair. Another clan betrayed him, slaying his clan and cutting him down in his prime. (not to say he didn't manage to take a few with him)
Kyuubi: A playful prankster who irritated the city people, particularly the royal family, until one day one his pranks went too far. One day, he accidentally killed the first princess……the woman he loved more than anything. He was burned alive as a punishment.
Sin. It’s generally stronger in Bijuu than in demons, but it doesn’t have to be.
Shukaku: He did a fair amount of drinking, and snapped quite a few necks trying to become more powerful and respected, all with a side order of rape.
Okami: Killed at least 7000 people in his lifetime.
Kyuubi: Engaged in many sexual endeavors with the first princess using his shape shifting powers.
Desire to live: Demons are hanging on with the skin of their teeth, while Bijuu have a grip of iron, if you get what I mean.
Shukaku: Continued wanting to live, despite the pain of having his skin peeled off by the sandstorm.
Okami: Was stabbed and slashed repeatedly before being frozen,, not in a block of ice, but by the harsh wind. But still, he continued wanting to live.
Kyuubi: He lost the love of his life, and was burned in a cremator, but continued refusing to die.
Bijuu are very ironic creatures. However you kill a Bijuu in life determines the powers it has. Shukaku was killed by a sandstorm….and gained control over sand and wind. Okami was killed by swords and the freezing wind…..and gained control over the Northern wind, as well as the ‘cutting winds’. Kyuubi was burned alive in the royal cremator…and he gained control over fire and power in general.
What animal a Bijuu will be is determined by the personality of the person. Greed, honesty, deceit, ferocity, mindlessness, cunning, instinct….etc. As you can clearly see this is true:
Shukaku: angry, perverted drunkard=badass Tanuki
Okami: honorable but vicious samurai=white Wolf
Kyuubi: shapeshifting trickster= red Fox.
The next time you think of a Bijuu, think of who they were as humans, and what happened to get them to where they are now.
