A/N: Ok I have an announcement to make. I am deleting my Bleach and Sonic crossover since I have no inspiration to continue it and for that I am really sorry, especially to SlashtheHedgehog900 since I know that he really liked that story. But I am replacing it with this fic that I hope many of you will read.

Since I saw the lack of Sonic and Okami crossovers, I have decided to try and post my own. In this story I will be re-telling the game but I will be doing it like an Anime. So comment, review and I hope that all of you enjoy this fic.

One more thing before I forget, I'm going to put the list of Voice Actors of the characters as they appear in the chapter, in other words each Authors Note will have a small cast list.

Sonic the Hedgehog: Okami Chronicles

There was a realm that is said to be the home to all of the spirits; these spirits are known as the Celestials. Here lived the famous 12 Celestial Brush Gods and the Goddess that ruled over the plain, her name is Amaterasu. In the plain it was rather peaceful and the said goddess loved to play with her fellow Celestial spirits. Amaterasu also had a good friend in the plain. She and him became friends after he had suddenly appeared in the plain.

Now the sun Goddess was sitting in on one of the wooded porches outside of a grassy field. She sat there enjoying the scenery and watching the other Celestials play and be happy. She smiled to herself as she saw the younger ones play with one of the 12 Brush Gods.

"So this is where you've been" said a voice.

Amaterasu turned and smiled at her friend as he too sat down on the porch. "I was just watching the young ones play, it always makes me happy" she replied.

"You sound like a mother when you say that" he laughed.

She playfully punched his arm with that comment. "I am just watching over them as the Goddess of the Sun" she said.

He laughed again as he also watched the small spirits play. Then, out of nowhere, a loud crash erupted from the plain and the two of them stood up in a panic. Amaterasu looked on in horror at the beast before her...

Chapter 1: The Legend of Nagi and Shiranui

In the land of Nippon lied a small village known as Kamiki. There lied a large tree where it is said to protect the village from threats and a statue of a wolf. Here the villagers lived in peace and their village was covered in cherry blossoms. At this very moment two travelers were listening to the old legend that was passed down by the people here.

"Long ago there was an evil spirit called the Orochi that attacked the lands of Nippon. To satisfy the appetite of the Orochi a sacrifice was needed. A young maiden was chosen at the annual festival. The Orochi was a horrid creature with eight heads, and a large body that was as large as a mountain itself and its blood red eyes alone was said to curse. No one dared to defy the horrid beast." Said an old man who was telling the tale to two travelers.

The two travelers were a blue hedgehog and a yellow fox with two tails. Sonic the Hedgehog and his friend Miles Prower, or commonly known as Tails were listening to the tail of the old man, with Tails being more interested than Sonic.

"Strangely when the night of the sacrifice came near a white wolf would appear on the outskirts of the village. She had fur that was as brilliant as the snow and she was wearing a kimono like that of a Miko, with a lavender kusode, a white haori like that of a priest and a red hakama skirt that ended above the knees. She was dubbed Shiranui. She would always keep a watchful eye on the villagers entering and exiting the village and made a habit of patrolling at night. The people assumed that she was a familiar of Orochi" he continued.

Now this part of the tale piqued the interest of the blue hedgehog. "So was she?" asked Sonic.

"Let me finish boy" said the old man. "One villager would always challenge the wolf constantly, his name was Nagi. But Shiranui was swift and she always won the fight. Not long after the night of the accursed festival was upon them. A white plumed arrow soared through the sky and impaled the house of the village's most beautiful maiden, Nami. Nagi, who had fallen in love with the maiden, was enraged by the act and he grabbed his sword and raced to the Moon Cave to challenge Orochi"

The tale grew more interesting as the face of boredom left Sonic's face and was replaced by one of eager as he paid more attention to the story. "Nagi stood in the foot of the cave with bravery and prepared his weapon to put an end to Orochi once and for all. Nagi attacked the beast, leaping gracefully and swinging his blade valiantly. But the hide of Orochi was like that of steel, he couldn't leave even a scratch on the best. Weaken and exhausted, Orochi attacked and prepared to kill Nagi, Shiranui leaped from the air and landed in front of him. She then started to attack Orochi as the two of them fought. She summoned divine winds to counter Orochi's flames, a large tree to protect her from Orochi's claws. She fought with all her might against the Orochi however; Orochi was protected by a mystical barrier and wouldn't go down easy. Shiranui was covered in gashes, her once white fur died crimson stood exhaustedly before the mighty Orochi" he continued. "Orochi then saw a chance to strike the wounded wolf to give the final blow. But she refused to give in and with her last bit of power; she gazed majestically to the heavens and gave a mighty howl. The black clouds over head suddenly vanished and the light of the moon glistened off of Nagi's blade. Guided by his sword, Nagi, who had been taking shelter in the shadows, stood proudly over Orochi, his sword glowing a bright golden color. One by one he sliced the heads of the beast. Orochi's heads collapse in a lake of its own blood. In that instant the curse plagued over the village was lifted. As the battle subsided the sun shone brightly over the sky"

"What happened to Shiranui?" asked Tails.

"Unfortunately, she was succumbing to the poison of the Orochi and was struggling to breathe. Nagi scooped the wolf in his arms and returned to Kamiki. When they reached to the village, the wolf was no longer moving. The village elder stroked the head of the wolf. In response the wolf said, in a pitiful and hoarse voice 'Thank you' and she closed her eyes as if she went into slumber" he said as he saw the sad looks on Sonic and Tails faces. "Peace had finally returned to Kamiki Village. In honor of Shiranui's heroics, the villagers made a shrine and in the center placed the statue of a wolf in honor of her. Nagi's sword was named Tsukiyomi and placed inside of the Moon Cave. The Villagers looked forward to an age of endless peace" and with that said he finished the long tale.

"Wow that was awesome" said Tails in amazement.

"So how much time has passed since then?" asked Sonic.

"100 years, young one" said the old man.

"Well thanks for telling us the story" said Sonic as he and Tails stood up and they bowed at him as thanks.

They started walking thru the village, taking in the sights of the nice fields and cherry blossom trees as they walked. "That was an interesting story don't you think Sonic" said Tails.

"Yeah that was some legend" replied Sonic. "So why are we here again?"

"I told you the Chaos Emerald has been acting weird lately" said Tails. "It's been glowing on and off like if it was trying to tell us something"

"So why are we in Nippon?" asked Sonic.

"Because the emerald is getting a weird response being here" he explained. "It's almost like it's trying to warn us about something"

"Well we do have an act for finding trouble" said Sonic with a grin. "So do you think Eggman has something to do with this?"

"He might but I don't know he's been strangely quiet" said Tails.

"Well I'm going to take a run around Shunsui Fields so hang around here for a bit ok Tails" and with that Sonic dashed away in a streak of blue. Tails sighed and he decided to take a look around, his first stop, the sacred tree.

Sonic started to dash around the vast fields and land all around Nippon and he was in awe on how beautiful this place was. It was like something out of an art book. He noticed that some places haven't even been touched by technology but they knew about the basic resources. Apparently they left the country untouched all this time. But as he was running Sonic noticed that the sky suddenly got dark. He stood on a hill and glanced up in the sky and he saw the sun vanish behind the black clouds. He had a bad feeling about this, since some of the hair on his quills started to stand as he felt a cold chill down his spine. Then in the sky he saw a black puff of smoke heading to the village of Kamiki. Sonic dashed back to the village, beating the cloud to it and he saw that the entire place was empty.

"What the hell is going on" he said to himself. "It was just crowded a minute ago"

Then he ran up to the shrine where the wolf statue was there and he didn't see anyone else. Now he was getting worried because now he couldn't find Tails. Then he saw the black smoke heading to the shrine as the Chaos Emerald he was hiding started glowing. He got ready to attack but then a bolt of light appeared in front of him. The light took form to reveal a woman with black hair tied up with two leaves, a pink long kimono with two leaves on the chest area and a dark pink obi.

"How troublesome" she said with slight anger. "This is like the ancient prophesy of doom"

"What the hell" said Sonic mainly to himself.

She turned to Sonic and she had a look of shock when she noticed that he remained unaffected by the black energy. "How is it you are still alive?" she asked.

"Like I know but who are you?" he asked.

"My name is Sakuya, I am a Tree spirit" she introduced, her pink eyes stared at him.

"Ok Sakuya what happened and where is everyone?" asked Sonic again.

"I'll explain in a moment but I need to act quickly" she said as she walked over to the wolf statue of Shiranui. "My power has diminished over the years I've spent protecting this area. I don't have much time in this world"

She then stood straight and drew a circle with her hands. "Amaterasu now is the time" she began as a circle shaped stone tablet appeared in front of her. Now Sonic was even more in shock at what was happening. "We have never needed your power more. Shine your divine light upon this broken and polluted world. Let your heavenly rays become our hope as you guide us all!"

The tablet started glowing and the Chaos Emerald started levitating and flew to the tablet. The emerald merged its light with the mirror like item and it flew to the back of the statue of Shiranui. It started glowing as flames started producing from the mirror and wrapped around the statue. Once the flames died down the statue was gone, in its place was a white female wolf with red markings on her cheeks and on the center of her bangs. Her long white hair slowly fading into black at the ends fell to her waist, a calligraphy brush like tail and she was wearing a white kimono that fell above her knees with the shoulders cut to reveal her bare shoulders with red markings, markings on the long sleeves of her kimono, a red obi wrapped around her waist with a bow on the back, knee high red stockings and lastly black sandals on her feet. Sonic couldn't help but let his jaw hit the floor as he looked at the wolf in front of him. She landed gracefully on the ground and she opened her bright green eyes. The Chaos Emerald fell back into Sonic's hands as it stopped glowing.

"Ah such divine white light, beauty and grace" said Sakuya in awe. "The only one capable of such a wondrous spectacle is none other than our mother and the origin of all that is, Amaterasu"

Now Sonic was in awe that the wolf standing before him was none other than the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, and he had to agree with what Sakuya said. "How delightful to see that the savior whose brave sacrifice sealed away the evil demon so many years ago has not changed one bit. Except for your attire though" said Sakuya.

Amaterasu started looking around as Sakuya continued talking. "Seeing you emerge after so many years spent as a statue brings happiness to my heart!" she continued as she sniffed and whipped the tears from her eyes.

Amaterasu just yawned and she sat down onto the floor and lied down, then she closed her eyes as if she wanted to take a nap. Sonic and Sakuya were now at a loss for words as they saw the strange act of the goddess.

"Amaterasu…" said Sakuya. "Gaze above you and take in the condition of the sky. Since your untimely departure from our midst, the world has succumbed to devious and vicious beasts. They have spread thought Nippon but the circumstances are getting worse. Please use your powers to banish the and punish those who would do us harm"

Then she winced as she started looking around into her robe. A blush crept into Sonic's face as she slightly opened her robe and he turned his head away. "Has something stolen its way into my robe?" she asked herself.

She then started laughing a bit until something came out of her robe and landed on Sonic's head. He turned back and what landed on his head landed on the ground. It was…a bug?

"You again?" said Sakuya.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! Are you nuts!" yelled the bug. This shocked Sonic as it woke Amaterasu and she took a battle pose and growled. "Man for a little thing you sure do make a big fuss, I was trying to make the conversation more interesting"

"Were you napping in my clothes again, bug?" asked Sakuya narrowing her eyes dangerously at the bug.

"Bug? I told you a thousand times not to call me that!" he said jumping up and down. "I'm a wondering artist, the name's Issun!"

Sonic just couldn't belive what he was seeing and hearing. "I'll show you just how good I am, so bow before my great brush!" he said as he pulled out a scroll and tossed it until it landed in Amaterasu's hand.

She opened the scroll and looked at the drawing as Sonic peaked behind her to see the drawing. Honestly it wasn't half bad, he had to admit it. "Well what do you think, cuter than the real thing no?" he said with pride.

Then he jumped onto Amaterasu's nose and she glared at the small bug. "What's with you, furball? You look kinda down in the dumps" he said.

"Who are you calling furball!" yelled Amaterasu.

"Actually you look kinda familiar…" he said. "Got it you look just like that statue of Shiranui!"

Amaterasu then slapped Issun off her nose and he landed on the ground. "Whoa Whaddya think you're doing?!" he yelled. "I won't be slapped by a wolf, even if you are a girl. Don't make me use my sword Denkomaru on you!"

Then a loud roar was heard and all of them looked up to see the back red sky above them. Issun was now scared. "Wh-Wh-What's that growling sound?" he said with a stutter in his voice. "And why is it so dark anyway?"

"O great god Amaterasu. I have used all the power I have to protect Kamiki Village" said Sakuya as her body started turning into petals. "The village lives on. Their spirits lie encased in my fruit. Cut it free, and the village will be reborn"

"So that means Tails is alright?" said Sonic.

"Farewell" said Sakuya. "I have faith in you Amaterasu"

And with that Sakuya turn into a large un-bloomed tree in front of them. Amaterasu had a look of slight sadness in her eyes. "The trees returned to normal huh. That Sakuya girl sure said some weird stuff" said Issun.

"She said that their spirits lied in the fruit" said Sonic looking at the large peach fruit hanging from the tree.

"It's pretty high up there" said Amaterasu.

"Heh, no problem" said Sonic as he revved up his feet and spin dashed to the fruit but he was reflected by it and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Nice, hedgehog" commented Issun.

"It would seem that it could only be cut by a divine instrument" said Amaterasu while looking at the fruit.

"Well you are a god right" said Sonic. "So use some of that godly power and free the people"

Amaterasu just closed her eyes and sighed. "I can't" she said.

"WHAT!" yelled Sonic and Issun.

"HA some god!" laughed Issun.

"Silence, bug!" she yelled. "My powers have been greatly weakened over the years, not to mention that most of my memories are gone"

"So now what?" asked Sonic.

Amaterasu said nothing as she started to look around and she started walking. Sonic and Issun followed her and she was leading them over a bridge. "This is wired it suddenly got quiet" said Issun. "And how are you still alive, hedgehog?"

"My name is Sonic" he said. "And I think it has something to do with the Chaos Emerald"

"The what?" said Issun.

"Chaos Emerald" he said again. "It's a gem that grants power and for some reason it resonated with that strange mirror on Amaterasu's back"

Amaterasu led them to a cliff and she jumped on the wall, did a flip and landed on top of the cliff. Sonic did the same as he followed the wolf goddess. He looked around and saw that the sky wasn't covered in black clouds, rather a heavenly light, like it was protecting the area. She made a sudden stop in front of a broken bridge.

"Damn" she hissed.

"Well looks like we won't be heading across this" said Sonic.

"Hey Amaterasu was it, actually I'm going to call you Ammy" said Issun. "Have you heard of the Spirits of the Brush?"

"Yes I have, they are gods that lie in the brush strokes of paintings" she replied.

Issun then grabbed his brush and leaped from Sonic's shoulder and swung the brush over the broken bridge. Then the bridge was fixed, just as good as new. Sonic let out a whistle of amazement.

"Nice huh, this power is called Rejuvenation" said Issun. "It's one of the many brush techniques that use divine powers. It took me forever to master this one stroke"

"A power with a brush?" questioned Sonic.

"There are 13 brush gods, each hold a different type of power" explained Amaterasu.

"Yeah that's right Ammy. Originally the 13 Brush techniques were one deity but when the deity died the 13 powers were split into 13 separate gods" said Issun. "But god or no god how could someone master all 13 skills?"

The three of them then started walking across the bridge until they got to the end of the bridge where there was a stone that read 'River of the Heavens'. "The River of the Heavens, do they mean the star dust river from legends" said Issun.

"I don't see any river" said Sonic suddenly shaking at the thought of water.

"I think it's that puddle over there" said Issun.

Amaterasu then started walking passed a shrine gate that over looked a cliff. She started climbing the hill, with Sonic and Issun behind her until they got to the edge of the cliff.

"Wow look that the stars" said Sonic in wonder. "The sky here is beautiful"

"Hey Sonic are those stars forming a pattern or is it just me?" said Issun.

"Can it be" whispered Amaterasu.

"I'll draw the missing star!" claimed Issun with pride as he readied his brush and made a dot in the sky, but nothing happened. "…"

"Nice" said Sonic laughing a bit.

"Shut up! I'm just not ready to draw missing stars" he said with a huff. "How about you try Ammy"

Amaterasu put a hand inside the sleeves of her kimono and pulled out a calligraphy brush that looked just like her tail. The brush was palm size but then it turned bigger until it was at least as tall as her. She held the brush and made a dot in the sky. A star then appeared and it started glowing. An outline of a dragon appeared on the sky as it glowed. Then in a flash of white light a white dragon emerged with red tattoos wearing a white kimono with a red outline, red hakama and whit his white hair tied in a ponytail and flew in front of the white wolf. Amaterasu smiled widely when she saw the dragon while Sonic and Issun looked in shock.

"Ah if it isn't mother Amaterasu" said the dragon.

"Yomigami!" she exclaimed with happiness.

"I apologize for not contacting you sooner during these long years" said Yomigami. "I Yomigami, god of restoration, have eagerly waited for this day when we could fight together once again"

"Once again?" mumbled Amaterasu.

"The 13 Spirits of the Brush that you possessed including myself, have been scattered across this land of men and now lie in disarray" said Yomigami.

Amaterasu's eyes widen with shock at what the old spirit was saying. "I managed to become a constellation and survive until now. The time has come for you to seek out the remaining spirits and learn all the techniques you once possessed. Now restore the river bed and once again let the flow of heaven pass"

In a glow Yomigami turned light and it flew to Amaterasu. It then faded into her chest as she smiled at the spirit. Now she had the power of Rejuvenation. "Wow so that was the god Yomigami" said Issun in awe. "Wait! So does that mean you have the power of Rejuvenation now!?"

"So now you can restore the river?" asked Sonic.

"I believe so" said Amaterasu. "What on earth happened to me?" she thought.

"Phfff" said Issun. "No way you can pull of a stunt like that"

She glared at the bug as the three of them walked to the base of the river and Amaterasu readied her brush. She jumped into the air and in graceful strokes of the brush started to restore the star dust river. The river was restored in a few sweeps and she landed on the ground once again as the brush returned back to normal.

Sonic let out a whistle of amazement as Issun just scoffed. "Now let's cross the river" said Amaterasu.

"How are we going to do that?" said Issun. "Ya want us to swim?"

"How else are we going to get across" she said turning her head.

Sonic now had a look of pure terror in his face. Water and he didn't mix very well. "Isn't there any other way to cross" he said with his voice shaking.

"What's wrong hedgehog, can't swim?" asked Issun with a grin.

Sonic glared at Issun as Amaterasu stared at him. "Hedgehog, if you can't swim then you can hang onto me while I lead you to the other side" said Amaterasu.

"Ok first of all, my name is Sonic" he said to Amaterasu. "And second I have a better idea"

And with that Sonic picked up Amaterasu in his arms, much to her shock, and he sprinted at top speed until he was running across the water. Issun hung onto dear life on Sonic's quills as he was screaming the entire way. In a few minutes they were across the river and he placed Amaterasu back on the ground.

"Well that was unexpected" she said.

"Yeah well I'm not an ordinary hedgehog" said Sonic with a grin.

"DON'T DO THAT EVER AGAIN YOU NEARLY GAVE ME A HEAR ATTACK!" roared Issun while jumping up and down on the ground.

"There's the exit" said Amaterasu. "Let's go"

The three of them started walking to the exit and they were consumed in a yellow light. This is the start of an epic adventure for our hero Sonic, now that he met the Sun Goddess Amaterasu and the wondering artist Issun.
