The Blood of an Oni - Chapter 3

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

"All done!" Onigumo pushed his bowl towards mine, it was empty with nothing but the chopsticks sitting inside,

"Ah, I'm glad you ate it all.." I smiled, balancing his bowl in mine and placing it on the side in the other room. I heard Onigumo's footsteps behind me as I snuffed out the fire.

"Is there not any more?" I jumped a little, Onigumo had leant his head around me and was right against my arm,

"Ah- n-no, not right now, I don't think it'd be good to eat too much right away..." He frowned, stepping back. "Besides, we need to fix this." I ran my fingers through his hair. Despite how nice it looked, it was extremely damaged and messy to the touch. "Come on." I beconed for Onigumo to follow as I walked through a narrow entranceway to the washroom. It had a large round bath in the corner and a few crates and boxes of medical supplies that were strewn about the floor.

"I-I don't really want a bath.." Onigumo muttered, I turned to him, surprised.

"Why not?" He shifted from foot to foot.

"I.. I don't wanna.." I noticed him fiddling with his clothes, pulling up the trousers and tightening his grip on the kimono top.

"I won't be in here with you if that makes you happier." Onigumo finally looked me in the eyes with a smile.

"Y-Yes please… I trust you but… I-I wanna do it alone…"

"Okay, I'll run the bath, then you can get changed alone. But I want you to leave the clothes outside because I'm going to shorten them so they fit you, okay?"

"Yeah!" Onigumo gave me a wide smile before sitting down on a wicker box. I leant over the bath, turning the taps on. They creaked and moaned for a second before water shot out. Quickly, I pushed the plug into the bottom of the bath, then stood up straight again.

"It only takes a moment, you should feel it so it suits your temperature preferences."

"P-Pref-?" Onigumo looked between me and the bath.

"T-To see if it's warm enough.." I didn't think he'd be stumped by big words...

"Oh, I get it!" He jumped up off the box, leaning over the side of the bath and cautiously waving his hand in it. The level was almost high enough now. "It's nice and warm.. It's my pref-pr um..."

"Don't worry, I understand!" I laughed, turning both taps off and dipping my hand in the water, waving it around to mix the cool and hot parts more evenly. "Remember what I said okay?" I smiled, ruffling Onigumo's hair before walking out.

"Thank you!" I heard him call after a little while.

My eyes travelled around the room, the pan still sat in the fireplace and the dirty bowls lay on the side. We'd have to find a river to wash them in though I remembered one nearby. I sat on a small stool, turning so my back faced where the washroom doorway was. Something was bugging me. The way Onigumo spoke and acted, it was all too similar to a child. Nothing remained from before, including my feelings for him. I held my head in my hands. I felt so strange, having to look after him like a parent.

"I just have to wait a little longer.." I whispered to myself, "You've waited this long, a few days means nothing..." Just then I heard a shuffling noise that broke me from my thoughts, I turned quickly to see Onigumo's clothes in a heap by the doorway. I sighed, laughing to myself a little, I don't know why I expected him to fold them neatly.

Picking them up, I moved to the room where we'd eaten. There was a small shelf against the wall with random baskets and scrolls. I shifted a folded up blanket aside, remembering I'd found some scissors not long ago and left them beneath it.

Carefully, I spread out the kimono, the garment creating a t shape on the table. I'd remembered how large Onigumo was compared to me so I cut it to size. Something inside me felt sad for cutting up the clothes I remembered, and plus, they seemed like the only part of the old Onigumo left now but... I'll get him new clothes once he comes back anyway. I hadn't realised I'd self conciously stopped cutting. I shook my head and continued, throwing the scrap fabric in a pile. The kimono top was still a little wide but now it was shorter, and I'd cut the eco trousers into hakama styled trousers instead.

I scratched the side of my face, I think he'd need some kind of belt since the waistline was still far too wide. I moved back to my room where most of my bags resided and rifled through them, hoping to find some more scrap fabric.

"Ah- what about-!" I suddenly remembered something, pulling out a familiar large orange ribbon. It was from a town I visited once, they had a wonderful array of fabrics and ribbons on sale. Even though it wasn't exactly my thing, I found myself buying something anyway because it reminded me of him. I hadn't noticed my hand had tightly gripped around the orange fabric. Something splashed against my hand, quickly, I felt my face. Tears were rolling down my cheeks.

"Stop it!" I stood up suddenly, shouting at nothing. My heart rate had suddenly risen, "What is wrong with me.. I should be happy..." I held the ribbon to my face, closing my eyes. Just for a second I saw his face: it wasn't childish, or scared, it was confident and fierce, just how I always remembered it.. "Gumo.."

"Onigama!" I suddenly broke out of my daydream, Onigumo called again and I rushed back round to the washroom.

"Is something wrong?!" I called from the doorway, still looking away, "Are you done?" I looked back down at my hands, the ribbon was slightly crumpled from my tight grip.

"A-Almost-!" Quickly, I ran back to the table, folding the clothes and carrying them back under one arm. I placed them down where Onigumo had left them before and sat back on the stool, "Okay, you can get them." I heard him get out of the bath, his footsteps making a wet sound.

"Onigama.. You can look.." I was surprised, but slowly turned around, he'd found one of the towels and had wrapped it around himself.

"Oh- yeah I forgot about that, sorry I should've told you where they were before-"

"Can you help me change.." His voice sounded a little sad. I began forwards but stopped.

"Is something wrong?" He looked away, his lip was quivering slightly.

"You shouted just now, didn't you... I was thinking... Everything you've done..." Why did he sound so much more mature all of a sudden. "I'm not who you wanted me to be, am I..?" He stared right at me, his face stayed emotionless yet floods of tears fell from his eyes.

"O-Onigumo-!" I reached out but recoiled, my words only came out as a stutter. "I-I.." I fell to the floor, my whole body shaking. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.." I grabbed my chest, gripping onto my top. "I.. I just.. I've been looking for him for so long and- you-" I looked up, he'd stopped crying but his expression was the same. I just didn't understand why he looked like this, my Onigumo was so large, strong and confident, why had that all disappeared?

"You.. No-!" I stood up without a second thought, placing my hands on Onigumo's shoulders, "You're exactly who I was looking for-! You're Onigumo! There's no question about it, it's just going to take a while a-and that's okay!" I nodded harshly, smiling as best I could. Onigumo kept staring at me, then slowly, he smiled too and looked away.

"Okay.. I'm sorry... I'll try harder to remember..." He nodded again, wiping his face,

"We'll get you cleaned up, okay!" He didn't respond but I took his hand, sitting him down on the stool. I noticed he kept looking away as I rubbed the towel.

"Tell you what, I'll get you something to look at while I cut your hair, okay?" He nodded silently, "Can I.. See something to do with Onigumo?" I paused.

"O-Of course!" I looked at our things plenty just to remember what he looked like. Sometimes I felt like he wasn’t even real anymore but seeing his writing and drawings reminded me to not lose hope.

"What about these?" I came back in, it seemed like Onigumo hadn't moved. I put a box on his lap, untying the ribbon. He slowly held it in his hands.

"How short do you want your hair?"

"I want it like Onigumo's."

I'd begun running my fingers through his hair but stopped as he spoke, his words unnerved me but I stayed silent. I picked up the scissors I had used to cut the fabric as well as the kitchen knife from the wall. Kneeling down, I looked at the trail of hair in front of me,

"Perhaps... I'll find a brush.. I think we have one." I stood up again, leaving the room. I could see Onigumo out of the corner of my eye, he must've not thought I could see him as he'd started looking through the contents of the box. I hadn't checked it so I hoped it was all appropriate.

"Aha! There!" I picked up a small comb and brush from one of my bags and returned to the kitchen. "I found one of each!" I held them up to Onigumo but he just nodded, seemingly uninterested.

The rest of the day was silent, I'd cut Onigumo's hair then decided to leave to house for supplies. I left Onigumo alone with food for lunch and dinner but kept the seal on the house, making sure it was stronger this time. The way he'd acted struck fear in me. But perhaps it was for the best however...

The sky was now a solid black, clouds covered the stars and the wind blew slightly through the trees. I gently opened the screen door as to not make too much of a noise. I peered into Onigumo's room, feeling relieved as I saw him asleep under his sheet. Numerous pieces of paper and books were strewn around him, but I decided to leave them untouched. I almost fell down as I entered my room, my bag was quite full of supplies I'd bought and scavenged from a town a little way away. I untied my hair and threw off my top, laying down with a sigh. I'd waited so long for Onigumo to return but now… I wasn’t really sure if that was what I wanted at all.

The Blood of an Oni - Chapter 1

A story about how Onigama and Onigumo met,

(Written from Onigama’s perspective)

I felt my hand against the cave wall, my other hand holding a flame that illuminated my path. I'd been traversing the caverns for so long, I was growing fatigued.

"This has to be it-!" I thought to myself desperately, my mind was growing more frustrated, flicking through thoughts that bothered me.

I gasped slightly, the wall had curved away under my hand, perhaps.. A larger room..? I began to walk forward without the support of the wall, taking every step anxiously. Eventually I raised my hand, letting the flame grow larger. Just then I heard a growling noise, it startled me more than usual. So much so I almost lost my footing on the damp rocks. I paused for a moment but quickly continued, my heart was racing and all I could hear was the pounding in my ears. Wincing, I sent the flame forward, hoping it would light my way.

Suddenly the noise came again, yet louder. Then I saw it, a large monstrous face in the darkness. It hissed at the light then seemed to scream and lurch forwards, I jumped back but it came no closer. All I could see were two yellow eyes and its jagged set of teeth. Anxiously, I moved closer though it kept its eyes on me at all times. I swallowed hard and I heard it begin to growl again.

"Shh... I'm not going to hurt you.." Instead of attacking again, it recoiled back slightly, making a sad noise. Only then I noticed one of its legs that was visible in the light was bound by a thick shackle. It seemed to be enchanted with magic, but extremely old magic. I reached a hand out but it finally snapped at me and I pulled away just in time.

"I want to help you.. Just please, let me get closer.."

"Perhaps it doesn't understand me... If so, it's not who I'm looking for..." I thought to myself, then shook my head. "No harm trying.."

I then reached out again, holding a small flame in one hand, making sure my other was in a gentle posture as not to scare the creature again. As my hand came close to its face the creature leant back slightly - but less than before - I kept going, my pace slower and slower as I went. As I touched the side of its face a chilling sensation struck my entire body, I almost pulled my hand away.

"There.. Just a little more, okay?" I whispered in a soft tone, raising my other hand with the flame so I could properly see its face.

I gasped.. There.. There it was, two large horns.. And the leg I saw.. Yes.. It was of a spider.. I see it now.

"Onigumo.." I fell over the word, tears plummeted down my face, yet the creature looked at me the same way it did before. I gently stroked two fingers down one of the horns, trying to stop myself completely letting my emotions go. I heard it softly growl again but I blanked the sound out.

"Don't worry.. I'll get you out.." I stood up sharply, the creature jolting back as far it could, shocked by my movement. I reached to my side, pulling my sword out of the scabbard. I heard a whine but I kept going. Eyeing up the chains that were bound to the cavern walls, I raised my sword to my face, closing my eyes gently. Without a second thought I swung it down, the sword glowing with blue magic as it severed the chain links. I heard the creature scuttle back, its heavy breathing was apparant now. I moved to the other side, doing the same. I expected the magic that had sealed them to be more potent but it had been about one hundred years - magic evolves and ages.

I gently put the sword away, but when I looked up the spider had run into the darkness,

"Hey-!" My last flame had gone out while I was concentrating on breaking the chains, I stumbled over the rocks with a new one in my hand, "Onigumo-!" I stopped, relief returning to me as I saw them at the end of the cave, curled up by the wall, making distraught sounds and breathing sporadically.

"Onigumo.." I clenched my eyes shut then wiped away the newly forming tears. "Come on, I'm here to save you!" I raised one hand out to it shakily, yet my face couldn't muster a smile. I saw the creature turn slightly, like it recognised my words.

"I-I'll take you home-!" My shoulders were beginning to shake, yet I noticed it react again.. Perhaps 'save'.. 'home'..? Slowly and cautiously, I crouched down on one knee, still holding my hand out. I saw it shakily lift itself onto its legs, it must not have used them properly in so long. One slow step at a time, it came over, averting its eyes, but coming closer.

"G-Gumo.." I whispered, letting my flame settle in the air as I held both hands out. He finally looked at me, his eyes were half open, weak and tired. I quickly leant forwards, grabbing him as he collapsed. I clutched at his body, tears flowing from my eyes. I could feel his heartbeat, it now seemed softer than his breathing was before. My mouth finally curled into a smile as I stroked his head. I didn't want to let go... I didnt want any chance to lose him again.

I kept checking his chest, feeling more and more safe every time I felt his heart beating. Eventually I stood up, laying him gently down on the floor.

"I'm going to have to carry you, okay?" I expected no reply, but heard a soft moan. I smiled, then stopped, thinking of what to do next "You-You're going to have to help a little though..." I saw his eyes open slightly, I was glad he could actually understand me, at the start it was looking like he couldn't.

"All you have to do is climb onto my back, then I'll hold you, do you understand?" I crouched down in front of him, as close as I could and held my arms behind me, ready to grab him. I stayed there a while, I thought he was just taking his time. Just before I was about to tell him again, I heard him slowly get up. It was quite a shock as I felt his legs uncomfortably curl around my body, I winced slightly but then quickly brushed the feeling off.

"Are.. You on?" I felt something bump into the back of my head, I gasped a little at the touch but still smiled, "Good.. You should sleep, okay" I stood up carefully. He was... Extremely light... I breathed in deeply, staring at the only illuminated part of the floor in front of me,

"Okay.. We're almost there, Onigama you can do this.. We're so close.."
