Introduction

Image

A hundred years ago there lived a fearsome snake-like demon with eight heads. Its name was Orochi.
The powerful demon terrorized Nippon and demanded a sacrificial maiden be given to him each year.ย 

Nagi, a noble swordsman, and Shiranui, a pure white wolf,
fought by each other's side against Orochi in order to save Nagi's love who had been chosen as sacrifice.
The two weren't able to defeat Orochi entirely, but managed to seal him away inside Nagi's sword.ย 

Now, word has it that someone has broken Orochi's seal by removing Nagi's sword from its pedestal,
and strange things are occuring around Nippon as evil reawakens.
It is up to the Canine Warriors that reside in Kusa Village to save Nippon.

The Canine Warriors are the protectors of the Satomi House, whose last remaining member is the priestess of the Gale Shrine, Princess Fuse.
Their former master was her husband Yatsu, the high priest of the Gale Shrine, who was killed by demons.ย 

Each of the Canine Warriors wears a different colored bandana with the mark of the Satomi House on it.
The bandanas wrap around their necks and hold their satomi orbs at their chests.
The satomi orbs each bear the kanji symbol that best resembles the predominant personality trait of that dog.
The satomi orbs are also what gives them their special powers, which they use to fight against evil.

Angel slept quite soundly for a while, dreaming of chasing a rabbit through the fields... but she was suddenly woken by something heavy dropping on top of her. The tiny dog lay there stunned for a moment before starting to wiggle and kicking frantically at whatever was on top of her. "Help! Help! Get it off!" The tiny dog yelped as she struggled to get out from under the oblivious pit bull. Who knew a nap would be so dangerous?!

Weather because the pit bull got up or Angel wiggled free, eventually the tiny dog was able to get to her feet and spun to face the larger dog. Her ears were back submissively. Angel was startled, but not looking for a fight. He could probably eat her in one bite anyway. "Uh.. sorry.. Is this.. your bed..?" She asked sheepishly. "Angel thought it was abandoned... uh.. did Angel... Angel didn't scratch you did she? A-are you okay..?" Despite her nervousness, or maybe because of it, Angel was speaking rather quickly. One glance at the pit bull told the ball of fluff he knew how to fight, which lead her to another question. "Are you one of the canine warriors?! Ooh! Do you know where the Satomi house is?! Angel was suppose to be there but.." Here the chihuahua paused, feeling quite embarrassed. "Angel got lost..." Some canine warrior she would make.. if she even got the chance to join after this.

Nobutoshiโ€™s Makeshift Home

There was a wiggling beneath him, and then cries for help that startled the pitbull. His grey and white eyes flew open, and then he rolled opposite of Angel out of his bed. With a rumbling growl, he walked a circle to face a creature he hadnโ€™t expected to see. It was white, fluffy andโ€ฆtiny. Nobutoshiโ€™s eyes were wide and his one floppy ear was perked as he gazed uponโ€ฆa mouse? As Angel began talking, he extended his scarred nose toward her and began sniffing her face before he turned his head to sniff her bottom. It didnโ€™t smell like a rodent. In fact, it smelled much like a dog. Nobutoshi reared his head back in confusion. He had thought the Pom Pom was the smallest dog he had ever seen, but this runt took the cake.

Are you one of the canine warriors?!...

โ€œNo; I am not,โ€ answered Nobutoshi. He then motioned in the direction of the Satomi House with his grey head. โ€œThe Satomi House is that way just beyond the bridge. This is a small village so you canโ€™tโ€ฆโ€ He inspected the chihuahuaโ€™s size in brief silence. The pitbull had seen rats bigger than her. Kusa Village must have looked like a city. โ€œJust follow the dirt road.โ€

Stepping back into his bed, he nudged the chihuahua out with his nose before he slumped back down. His hind legs stretched out and his forelegs extended before him as he rested his head. The snowball wanted to be a canine warrior? As much as he found it amusing because of her miniature size, he wasnโ€™t going to question it. She could prepare dog treats, make sure the water dishes remain full, and groom the warriorsโ€™ backsides. He didnโ€™t mentally laugh at her too much. Nobutoshi felt that for Angel to state her mission without falter was pretty bold. She must not have cared what others thought of her.

Angel giggled when the larger dog put his nose close to her for a sniff. She licked his nose before he pulled away and wagged her tail a little. Well he didn't eat her, that was a good start! As the pit spoke, the white ball of fluff turned to look towards the street, only to let out a surprised help when she was nudged out of the bed. The nap was officially over now it seemed. Still, the little rest had done Angel good.

The pit got comfy, probably just expecting her to leave, but Angel hesitated. She didn't want to get lost again. Maybe it was her size, or maybe she was just bad with directions. Perhaps both, but Angel had a pension for getting lost and she would like to get to the Satomi house before sun down. After a few moments thought, the tiny dog stood on her back legs so she could put her for paws on her new 'friend'. "You wanna come with Angel?" She asked hopefully. "We can play a game or something! It'll be fun!" The larger dog would barely have time to answer before Angel was asking another question. "Did you get to see them? The warriors? Did they all come through here? Well.. probably not through your bed.." Angel let the sentence trail off into a giggle, then refocused to watched the pit intently for his answers. Her bright eyes, one blue and one green, were wide and hopeful and her tail wagged cheerfully behind her.

"He's not here anymore"

A female said. Hiroshi looked to his side and saw a female husky. He admired her fur for looking very smooth and beautiful though he snesed a little coldness in her voice. She obviously cut right o the chase, based on her tone of voice. Hiroshi decided in his own mind that he was gonna warm her up with the passion that was burning in his chest and gave life to his fire-power.

"Hiroshi"

This time the princess was speaking and what a wonderful word. Though it sounded very familiar to Hiroshi. The dog blinked and shaked his head snapping out of his daydreams. The princess had spoken his name and he was off to Lala-land surrounded by female worshippers including the princess. The black Kai-ken stood up from his pillow and rushed to the podium. On his way up the stairs he managed to stumble over his own paws and hammer nis muzzle into the wooden floor. "Ow..." he whimpered and rubbed his nose with his paw while sitting. So much for fixing the already bad first impression. Maybe this whole deal was a bad idea...

Yukari looked to the black Kai-Ken after she had seated herself still not checking her orb out at all. She tilted her head as the young black dog rushed to the posium and managed to muzzle-dive into the floor as if it was made of treats or high-end ox steaks. The youngling whimpered and Yukari heaved a light sigh. This one would need a lot of training, starting with eye-to-paw cordination followed by not displaying pain to anyone, not even allies.

Mizuki withheld a giggle as Hiroshi fell to the floor. She felt bad that he had embarrassed himself like that, but nobody else seemed to care, except for Take, who had a slight grin on his face. The Pomeranian set her gaze back on the Kai-Ken. He would be the last one called up before the ceremony ended.

Princess Fuse wrapped his assigned bandana around him and presented him with his orb. It lit up as she touched it, but for some reason there was a slight pause before she spoke. Was it because she was hesitant? Or was it for dramatic effect?
"May your bravery and geniality help guide you throughout your journey," She uttered.

Takeshi cocked his head to the side, noticing that the princess's attitude was slightly off, but it went back to normal as she had finished.

"Well, I suppose that is everyone then," Princess Fuse announced as she gazed at the door.
"Thank you all for offering yourselves as warriors today."

Akari remained sitting. She wondered what their first mission would be, but it seemed as though the princess might have been stalling.

Hiroshi felt the bandana being tied around his neck and opened his eyes as his orb lit up while being fastened to it. He kept his head down in shame from falling in front of the princess as she spoke her words to her.

"May your bravery and geniality help guide you throughout your journey"

Hiroshi noticed the princess paused before she spoke and Hiroshi could feel his courage and happiness drop dramatically. The princess was disappointed in his performance, it didn't take a genius to figure that one out. He slumped onto his pillow and bowed his head in shame from making a fool of himself and disappointing the princess on the first day. After he had sat down the princess spoke again.

"Thank you all for offering yourselves as warriors today"

After the ceremony Hiroshi remained on his pillow still bowing his head in shame. He was so utterly heartbroken because of his performance at the ceremony that he was ready to just lay down an be devoured by insects or small demons. He had managed to be late first of all and when his name was called he had chosen to kiss the floor boards and even whimper in front of the princes like a puppy. Hiroshi poked his orb with his paw and sighed. Maybe he wasn't fit to be a warrior. The princess didn't seem to think he was though she didn't say anything about it.

Yukari stood up and bowed to the princess showing her respect before she walked outside and stretched her legs. She looked around lookking for a nice cool place to lay down and relax but ended up walking back to the temple and sat down on the porch observing the villagers in Kusa Village going about their buisness after the ceremony. She let out a yawn flashing her shiny sharp teeth as she started to wonder if there was some sort of shrine or tribute to former warriors. If there was she should definetly pay it a visit to show her respect and to have a boost of inspiration and enthusiasm, though she was sure several dogs of her linage would be there as well.

The pitbull growled lowly when Angel stood and leaned her paws against his shoulder. She then bombarded him with enthusiastic questions: first, about going with her; next, playing; and then finally, the canine warriors. Nobutoshi was going to pretend that he didnโ€™t hear her ask him to play, and he clearly wasnโ€™t going to go anywhere with her, and so he decided to answer her canine warriors question.

โ€œI saw them because I went to the Satomi House earlier. Theyโ€™re nothing special. Why do you want to be a canine warrior so bad any way? What are you expecting to get out of it?โ€

The pitbull gazed down the alley between the houses at the busy dirt road.

"Alright everyone," Princess Fuse went on.
She noticed Yukari leave, but just assumed the canine thought the ceremony had officially ended, and that someone that was still inside would inform her later.
"Your first mission is to head towards Kamiki Village. There's a lot of talk about strange things happening there."

"We'll get right on it!" Takeshi promised. His tail began wagging again.

The princess nodded and smiled.
"Thank you all once again, and good luck to each of you!"
She bowed to the Canine Warriors gratefully, signaling that the meeting was now adjourned.

Mizuki, Akari, and Take all bowed in return before leaving the building.

Takeshi trotted over to where Yukari was.
"Hey Yukari, before we left the princess said we should head towards Kamiki."

"I wonder what could possibly be going on there," Mizuki wondered aloud.

Akari stood silently, waiting for everyone to be ready.

"So is there anything anyone needs to do here first before we head out?" Take asked.
The Pomeranian and Husky shook their heads.

Angel perked her ears up and tilted her head as the pit bull spoke, then followed his gaze to the dirt road. The ball of fluff didn't realize she was annoying Nobu. She was just happy to make a friend. A friend that knew how to get to the satomi house no less! and had met the warriors! The pit's question seemed odd to the tiny dog, but she answered it none the less.

"Angel dun wanna get anything out of it.. I just wanna help save the world from baddies!" She exclaimed happily. "Well.. maybe make some friends too.. Angel guesses that's gaining something..." Angel added the last bit rather thoughtfully. before returning her gaze to Nobu.

For a moment Angel wondered if she should run to try and find the Satomi house herself again. The pit didn't seem all that interested in going with her... and maybe she still had time. Yet, this pit seemed a little down to her, Angel didn't want to just leave him there alone. "Angel didn't ask you're name!" The ball of fluff exclaimed suddenly. "Angel is...Angel! What's you're name?" Maybe he just needed a friend too!

Hiroshi looked to the german sheperd husky mix that left the room. Was she really that arrogant? Leaving before the meeting was ajourned? How could she do that? It was so disrespectful to the princess.

"Your first mission is to head towards Kamiki Village. There's a lot of talk about strange things happening there"

Hiroshi lifted hs head and looked to the princess. "Kamiki village..." he mumbled and looked to the others. The only other male in the group seemed very much excited for the assignment and Hiroshi could very well understand the feeling though he still remembered, thanks to a nose that still hurt, that he had made a fool of himself at the ceremony. He got up an followed the 3 other dogs outside onto the porch where the Akita talked to the german shepherd husky mix.

"Hey Yukari, before we left the princess said we should head towards Kamiki"

The akita said looking at Yukari. She lifted her head and nodded. "Alright" she said and got up on her 4 paws. She shaked herself and nodded. "An order is an order" she said and was a little sad she wouldn't have a chance to look for a shrine for former warriors. She sighed and looked to the akita and nodded in respect. "Thank you for filling me in" she said waited for Takeshi to walk first as she poked the porch floor with her right front paw.

Hiroshi looked to the akita and german sheperd husky mix and waited for them. He moved closer to the 2 females and smiled deciding they should get to knoe each other, especially now that the male akita was gone. He sat down by the females and looked to them, especially the small pomeranian. "So... why did you 2 sign up to be warriors?" he asked trying his best not to start hitting on them as he knew this would only make him seem like a even bigger loser than he already looked like.

Mizuki and Akari both turned their heads to Hiroshi as he scooted closer to them. Akari remained quiet, deciding to keep her reasons to herself. On the other hand, Mizuki figured the Kai Ken was only trying to redeem himself, or at least make things less awkward between everyone at the moment.

"To be completely honest," The Pomeranian began, "I joined so I could get a better paw at fighting. Sounds a bit selfish, but I've had a bit of a rough past where knowing how to defend myself would've come in handy."
Not wanting Hiroshi to feel inclined to delve any deeper, she retaliated, "What about you?" And flashed him a faint smile.

"No problem," Takeshi grinned. He looked around the village for a moment. Nobody else had said they needed anything, but he was actually pretty hungry. The Akita hadn't even eaten breakfast because he was so intent on getting to the ceremony in time.
"If you guys don't mind, I want to stop at the merchant's stand on our way out to get some Holy Bones."
He then confidentally began moving forward in the direction of the village.

Nobutoshi listened to Angelโ€™s reasons: to save the world from baddies. He thought of the dog fights in Seiโ€™an and how he wished he could save them. How could he if he did nothing but lie down and gaze into the past like an old dog? He wasnโ€™t that old yet.

You havenโ€™t heard of the demon, Orochi?

There were many things he hadnโ€™t heard about, and if he had been raised a normal dog, he might have. The pitbull stood and replied to Angelโ€™s question, โ€œNobutoshi.โ€ He then turned and lightly grabbed her between his teeth before tossing her onto his back.

โ€œCome; Iโ€™ll take you there. I have some questions for the princess.โ€

The pitbull started out of the alley for the street. As he walked, he thought that maybe Angel may have known some things to mitigate the questions he would ask.

โ€œYou said save the world from baddies. What baddies are you talking about?โ€

Hiroshi looked at the small pomeranian as she spoke about her reasons for becoming a warrior. Her voice was high-pitched but to Hiroshi it was somehow also very soothing. He really was a weird dog when things came down to it, but that was not what worried him at that moment. He was more worried about making her hate him.

"To be completely honest, I joined so I could get a better paw at fighting. Sounds a bit selfish, but I've had a bit of a rough past where knowing how to defend myself would've come in handy"

The little fuzzy pooch said. Hiroshi fought a sudden urge to nuzzle the little dog lovingly to reassure her and promise her to protect her whatever it took. He smiled and nodded at the little female and tilted his head as she spoke again.

"What about you?"

Mizuki asked and gave Hiroshi a little smile that made him very warm inside. "I grew up hearing about the warriors and they were always my heroes," he said and nodded. "I've never been really god at anything, so when the chance came I naturally signed up right away to become a warrior. I want to be someone's hero too" the kai ken said and shot out his chest looking proud though he quickly became humble again and looked down. "I don't think I'm doing so good so far"

Yukari looked to Takeshi as he grinned and looked around until he spoke. The german sheperd husky mix looked to the akita and tilted her head as he spoke asking if they could stop by a merchant stand to get something to eat before he started walking. "Breakfast sounds good" she said and felt her own stomach agreeing with that statement. "I vote yes on that" she declared and followed the akita to the rest of the group.

Hiroshi looked to the 2 dogs that arived and heard them speak of breakfast. "Food? I'm definetly in" he said and ran in circles getting exited. He hadn't eaten all day because he was so nervous and now that everything was over and done with he was ready to eat a pile of bones the size of Mount Fuji.

"I don't think I'm doing good so far."

Mizuki couldn't help but scoff a bit at this.
"So you tripped during the ceremony, it could've happened to anyone!"
Maybe the Pomeranian had too much self esteem, but she certainly wouldn't let one minor slip up bother her too much.
"Besides, we haven't even begun our mission yet. I'm sure you'll be a great warrior," She yipped reassuringly.

Just then, Takeshi and Yukari had joined them and breakfast was mentioned.

"Bones?" Mizuki tilted her head to the side questioningly before looking at the small Kusa Inn that was in the center of the village.
"I think I'll just stop by the inn and ask for something there. I'll meet you guys at the exit though!"
Without waiting for any response, the small dog ran off towards the inn.

"Ooh, she's not going to like what she gets there," Takeshi chuckled mischievously.

"Why not?" Akari asked.

"The inn keeper lady is really mean, trust me," Take replied.
Neverthless, he kept going straight forward, as though he had no intention of stopping Mizuki.
"But that's what the little pooch gets for being picky. A warrior should learn to take what they can get."

Akari's ears flattened a bit. She felt bad imagining little Mizuki getting scolded, but the Husky wasn't usually one to speak out of line. She continued following the Akita over to the merchant stand.

Angel gave a little squeak when she was unexpectedly snagged and tossed onto the larger dog's back. It took the ball of fluff a moment to get her barring, but soon she was giggling and wagging her tail. "It's nice to meet you, Nobutoshi!" She announced happily. Angel had never ridden on the back of another dog before, but it didn't take long for her to lay down and get comfortable.

The new view was so distracting that Angel almost missed Nobu's question. "Oh! Orochi and his minions mostly.. but any baddie that threatens Nippon should be taken care of! Don'cha think?" Angel added the last bit as an after thought, tilting her head and looking at Nobu.. or at least looking at the back of his head. Assuming -everyone- knew about Orochi, Angel didn't elaborate on the demon.

The tiny dog was quite enjoying the right Nobu had decided to give her. Her tail wagged the whole time the walked. However, she was eventually distracted by a group of dogs heading down the dirt road with bandannas and glowing orbs. "Are those the warriors?! They are aren't they?!" Then the white dogs ears and tail drooped. "Does that mean Angel's to late...?" Angel had gone from her normally happy self, to super excited, then to sad in about two seconds flat.

Kusa Village

Orochi and his minions mostly.. but any baddie that threatens Nippon should be taken care of! Don'cha think?

She made it sound so simple. Orochi was so far the only evil mentioned first by the cow and then by the shrimp. Nobutoshiโ€™s snout wrinkled. He wanted to ask the snowball what and who was Orochi, but he felt she would make him feel stupid, and then heโ€™d have to dump her in the street. The pitbull kept his questions to himself as he headed for the Kusa bridge.

Just passing over the bridge were the dog warriors from before, and if they were free, then it meant the ceremony may have concluded. Nobutoshi ignored them and pretended not to notice them until Angel opened her big mouthโ€”for a tiny dog:

Are those the warriors!? They are arenโ€™t they!?

Nobutoshi quickened his pace. He was in no mood for her to start a fan girl conversation with them when he was on a mission. He was in no mood to hear their voices, speak with them, or for them to even look at him. The excitement that had deflated in the Chihuahua was heard when Angel asked:

Does that mean Iโ€™m too lateโ€ฆ?

The pitbull was hesitant to answer. He wasnโ€™t sure, but if Princess Fuse only took in warriors on a certain day, at a certain time, and once a year, then she probably missed a lot of potential. Of course by potential, he meant Angel. Nobutoshi wasnโ€™t sure he could handle obeying another master. They had all been the same, and he didnโ€™t feel the princess was any different. It was human nature after all.

Kusa Inn

Mizuki cautiously peered inside the door before entering. Luckily, there was no one there except the inn keeper, and she was just an old lady. The Pomeranian then tip-toed over to the counter. What damage could an elderly human possibly do? Besides, old women loved small fluffy dogs, right?
"Excuse me," Mizuki murmured.

The old lady glared down at Mizuki.
"Ugh, what are you doing here? No dogs allowed."

Mizuki looked around the room.
"But there wasn't any sign that said so," She defended sheepishly.

The inn keeper rolled her eyes.
"What do you want?"

"Well, you see, I just became a Canine Warrior!" Mizuki wagged, showing off her bandana.
"And my teammates and I are about to embark on our journey to save Nippon,
so I was hoping I could grab a small breakfast here before we leave."

"Are you kidding me? The food here is for our guests only. Now get out."

Mizuki narrowed her eyes at the rude old lady.
"Did you hear what I said?"
How could she reject someone who was about to save Nippon?

"Yea. Did you hear what I said?"

"Yes, but I don't see how it is much of a problem if- Hey! Put me down!"
Mizuki squirmed desperately as the old lady grabbed her by the scruff and headed towards the door.
"I'm a Canine Warrior!" She howled in vein before being tossed out.

The Pomeranian quickly stood back up and spat out some dirt before the door was shut in her face.
"Well I never!" She gasped, fixing her orb in place.
She turned away with her nose high in the air, off to rejoin the others.

On her way back however, she couldn't help but notice the Pitbull she had met earlier. He was carrying a small, white puppy on his back, and even Mizuki couldn't help but squeal at its cuteness. Her paws began making their way over to them, but Mizuki stopped herself.

What would she say? She could show Nobu her bandana and orb, but she didn't want to rub it in his face. Was that chihuahua the reason why he decided to leave perhaps? Maybe it was someone important to him that he didn't want to leave behind. The Pomeranian sighed and continued steering away from them.

"You don't know me, so you have no reason to waste your time following me."
His words echoed in her mind until, finally, she reached the others.

"Finish eating already?" Take asked with false innocence.

"No, the inn keeper kicked me out," Mizuki whimpered.
"I guess I'll just get bones like the rest of you."

Kusa Village

Angel had hopped to her feet in her excitement when she had first seen what she thought was the canine warriors, but as Nobu had hurried on without a word, the tiny dog laid down again, watching the warriors as a palm joined them, also wearing an orb. So little dogs like her could join! With the thought of being too late buzzing in the back of her mind, however, Angel found little comfort in that.

The little dog had quieted down quite a bit by the time they reached the bridge in front of the Satomi house. However, being quiet didn't mean being still. Angel was pretty nervous. The little ball of fluff stood and paced along the bigger dog's back, then sat on his head to stare intently at the Satomi house with her multi colored eyes as they drew closer. The chihuahua liked the view enough that she would likely stay up there as long as Nobu let her, or until she got distracted.

The pitbull reached the bridge and was relieved that none of the dog warriors had noticed him. He hadnโ€™t meant to ruin Angelโ€™s fun, but if she wanted to go meet them, then she could have hop off his back and go do so on her own. The bridge that led to the Satomi House wasnโ€™t as crowded as it had been that morning. When Nobutoshi realized that he could hear his own thoughts, he noticed that Angel was no longer talking. She had become silent.

He felt her sit on his head, which only made him raise his snout instinctually. His head turned left and right as though he were trying to see her before it lowered back down.

โ€œYouโ€™re quiet,โ€ Nobutoshi noted. He had only just met the Chihuahua and he thought it was unusual.

Princess Fuse had been standing outside as she watched the newly acclaimed Canine Warriors pad off into the distance to begin their adventure. She noticed that at almost the same time, two other dogs on the horizon were approaching the house. Were they here hoping to become warriors at last minute? Or were they simply passing by? The Princess waited curiously.

Meanwhile, the Canine Warriors finally made it to the merchant stand and Takeshi realized he had no money to pay for the bones.
"Crud...how am I gonna pay for them? I can't just steal them...that's not warrior like," He mumbled to himself.

"You must be the new Canine Warriors!" The merchant beamed as he admired their orbs. He must have overheard Take's conversation with himself.
"Don't worry about money, you can take a few treats for free this time. It's the least I can do for a few brave dogs willing to risk their lives for Nippon!"

"Thanks, man!" Take wagged his tail and grabbed some bones, stashing them in his bandana.

Mizuki did the same, but noticed Akari take nothing. This merchant seemed much kinder than the lady at the inn, but e Pomeranian was still convinced all humans were the same.

Outside the Satomi House

Angel had to shift her weight slightly as the pit moved his head in vain attempts to look at her. Despite her nerves turning her stomach in knots, the actions drew a giggle from the tiny chihuahua and even got her tail to wag a couple of times before it tucked between her legs again. All of that movement while angel tried to keep her balance would have made a lovely game any other time.

When Nubu mentioned she was quiet, Angel lowered her ears. "Angel was just.. worried that we're too late.." The fluff ball mumbled. If she didn't have such a horrible sense of direction she would have been early!

It seemed the two didn't have long to wait. When Angel saw the lady in the distance with orbs floating around her she nearly toppled off of Nobu's head in surprise. Angel was as excited as she was nervous now. Her tail, though held low, wagged wildly, bouncing off the pit's head a couple of times, but her ears stayed pinned back. "Hi!" Angel squeaked. She was too worked up to remember to bow. In fact after a couple of moments, Angel stood up and jumped from Nobu's head, landing at Princess Fuse's feet. "Angel's sorry we're late! Angel got lost! Nobutoshi-san helped Angel get here! Uh... Is angel... too late to be a warrior..?" The last word came out as a bit of a whine, but then the chihuahua remembered what Nobu had said earlier. "Oh! Nobutoshi-sun has questions for you!" She exclaimed before looking at the pit. "Right, Nobutoshi-kun?"

The pitbull continued across the bridge toward the Satomi House.

โ€œWhy worry over what you donโ€™t know for certain?โ€ Nobutoshi asked.

In the distance, Princess Fuse stood outside her home with those magical orbs floating around her. Nobutoshi hesitated in his approach, shocked to see her outside as though she had been expecting them. Angel was delighted. She had walked along his skull to his snout and her tail was whacking him between the eyes.

Hi! she alerted.

Well, there was no turning back now. Nobutoshi continued toward the princess as Angel eventually sprang from his face to the ground. He sat on his haunches as she yipped about in her excitement until the word โ€œkunโ€ got his attention. The pitbull wrinkled his snout at the snowball. Since when did she call him kun? Seconds after, he realized the spotlight had shifted to him. His ears perked briefly in surprise before the canine turned his cheek to the situation and frowned off to the side. He didnโ€™t feel comfortable asking questions in front of Angel. Every dog that had come to the princess knew as much about the world than he did. He knew he was ignorant on some matters, but he was in no mood to rip someoneโ€™s face for agreeing with him.

Princess Fuse looked down at the two canines. The small one seemed very eager to become a warrior, and her excuse for being late seemed legitimate. After all, it isn't hard for a dog so small to become lost. Although the Chihuahua seemed very young, the princess could tell she would be a nice addition to the group. Maybe she would help teach them about caring and responsibility, as well as lighten their spirits a bit...or, in Nobutoshi's case, annoy them. Even so, they'd be learning how to tolerate others. She widened her eyes a bit as she came out of her thoughts and was forced to turn her attention to the Pitbull. Instead of answering Angel's question, he simply turned away. This one would probably need to learn how to work on a team it seemed. After a moment's silence, she glanced back at the smaller dog.
"It is most certainly not too late to become a warrior." She smiled and beckoned them into the house. "Come on in."
She then walked back to her platform, ready to begin.

The Satomi House

Nobutoshi's reaction to Angel's introduction was a little confusing to the fluff ball. Did he change his mind? Was he shy? Her head tilted to the side as she tried to figure it out. However, before Angel could really ask, Princess Fuse spoke the very words Angel had been hoping for! The chihuahua let out a gleeful little howl and started running circles around the Princess's legs as the woman started inside. Angel wasn't thinking about how silly she must look, or how this may have been seen as disrespectful. She was far to excited. She was going to be a warrior!

Despite how happy Angel was, the ball of fluff didn't forget about the new friend that had helped her. She paused just inside the doorway, wagging her tail a mile a minuet. "Are you coming?! You're coming right?! Say you're coming!" Angel let out a yip followed by an excited whine. She wanted to go with the princess, but she didn't want to leave Nobutoshi behind.

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

I'm so sorry. I'd love to see this rp revived
I'm headed for bed at the moment, but I'll post up something when I wake up tomorrow

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

I would like to revive this if you guys are up for it!

Sorry I took so long to reply, I kind of left since the RP died without you, Lee xD

Lee

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

Sorry my computer went down and I just got a new one today. RPG is blocked at my university oddly enough. I'm very sorry, guys
and a short heads up I'm a girl :P

Did we die completely or should I make a post?

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

Nope. I thought you were keeping track of him. Just send him a PM to see if he's still active and interested.

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

Ok, no problem! Happy birthday!

Does anyone know where Lee went?
Or is he waiting for a certain moment to post?

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

Okay, besides my "a" key being fucked up, this website is experiencing issues where every time I try to post a message, it comes back as invalid. It doesn't work with any browser except Safari it seems (in my case). This site has also been logging me out multiple times. I'll get a post up soon. Today is my b-day, and I've been out all day, and I'm about to leave for "all night" celebrating that. The next few days, I got military crap to get done so that explains my silence.

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

I thought Lee was a girl! Sorry, Lee x.x

But thanks fir that Sonata, I wasn't sure if you guys were waiting for me to post or not.

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

Just letting you know I'm still here. I was waiting on Lee since he said he was busy, but I guess I'll go ahead and post tomorrow. I'm going to be posting to a few games tomorrow, so I'll add this RP to the list.

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

Well normally only Princess Fuse can understand them, but the orbs have given the Canine Warriors the ability to communicate with anyone.

Sorry I forgot to mention that x_x

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

So in this world, the humans understand the dogs?

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

Sorry; I tried to have a post today. Niece's b-day took up my time and I'm tired. I got to work out in the morning. I'll have time tomorrow if I don't have to drive down to the recruiting office.

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

I was going to post today but got held up. I'll have a post tomorrow as I'll be needing to post to some other games also. I'll try to move along so that no one is waiting on mine or Yorda's characters. o_o

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

It's ok Lee, I had a similar dilemma as well.

And I didn't procrastinate! I worked on it a bit Thursday night too x3
(^excuses)

But anyways, now Yorda has officially joined the RP, yay!
My friend who just joined the other day will be creating a character as well,
so we will still have an even mix of males and females afterwards.

Oh, and I'm now on spring break! So I'll be able to post even more often :P

Lee

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

I know I've been gone for two days
Sorry but university suddenly landed 2 assignments on me plus a ton of meetings and stuff that I had to get off my desk asap. I'm here now and ready to rp again

Sorry I can't post any IC today. I went to school, then immediately went to the tattoo shop and had to wait for myself and my friend to get a tattoo, then my other friend to get a piercing, and now I'm rushing on a project that I have due tomorrow! >_<


Nah, he won't be separated for long. Aah, the nightmares of procrastination. Mwuahaha!

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

I hope you don't mind character development. I like for my characters to go through it than to have them already where I want them to be, so I hope you weren't planning for all the dogs to get their orbs and bandannas right away. If you were, then I'd have to recreate my character and give him that personality right off the bat. But I'm just being realistic to what he's gone through in his past. He doesn't know how to read the human language, he doesn't know much about Nippon, and he doesn't know squat about the legend. The underground world is all he knows.

Re: Canine Warriors of Nippon

Sorry for the delay, I'll be writing a post now.
