AN: "Last update Dec 21, 2015"

I get worse every update woa


Aruko-sensei looked at the clock hanging on the wall, judging how much time they had left before turning to her TA. With a smug smirk she watched as Kagome bid her farewells to her colleagues, preparing to leave. Finishing her cup of coffee, she stood up and wrapped an arm around the young woman, "You're so responsible, Kagome-chan, I really lucked out."

"Now, darling, shall we get going? We have a class of impressionable kids to tell stories and hopefully give a few nightmares to."

Kagome failed to keep in her snort, laughing under her breath as she picked up her bag, "Of course, Aruko-sensei."

Ruko's hazel eyes stared in confusion, pausing from taking a sip from his drink, "Wait, what classes are you giving today?"

Kagome turned back with a smile, "Just two: Japanese and Greek Mythology, Yoshioka-san."

His face twisted in laughter only to freeze as realization took over, turning quickly in his seat he yelled at her before she left through the door, "Call me Ruko, Kagome-san!" His slight whine only received a laugh from the table and the girls walking past the door.

The miko watched from the back of the classroom as the students put together the activity assigned by her mentor, ment to test how well they remembered the myth she had given them last week. The legend of the fearsome Yamata no Orochi, a well known Japanese myth which struck fear into the hearts of millions years ago.

Returning to her given task, the woman finished checking her assignments only to stand up as she noticed the time. Walking to the front she stood besides Aruko-sensei, only to receive a flirty bump hip to hip. Blue eyes stared in surprise at the pregnant teacher, leaning in slightly to hear what she had to say.

"Could you tell them the Orochi legend, darling?"

Answering with a silent nod, the assistant teacher smiled as she prepared to tell the legend.

Kagome stood in the front of the class, their attention shifting only slightly as they shuffled their papers to hand them to the front, some trying to finish their activity before handing it over. Most of the students seemed interested enough, 'It feels a little like the festivals we do at the shrine, ' her lips stretched in a relaxed smile, 'some people are always more interested than others at our stories.'

"Alright, time's up. I have a special treat for you."

The students' murmurs spread across the class as their uncontrolled curiosity took over, "You all get to be the first ones to receive a small class from my dear Kagome-sensei." Golden eyes smiled at her students, "As you know, the activity you just did consisted in correcting a wrong version of the legend, finding as many inaccuracies; timeline and facts wise." Watching her student's reactions, ranging from eager to disinterested, she couldn't help but chuckle, "While Kagome-sensei tells you the legend I will be picking up your activities, please pass them over to the front."

Feeling a heavy gaze on her, the miko looked at the culprit, 'Morinozuka-san, again,' her eyebrow rose slightly, curious at his intensity, 'I hope he's okay now.'

A small calming sigh left the miko's lips as she relaxed her stand, 'The most important part of storytelling is captivating your audience.'

Kagome stood confidently in front of the students, "Susanoo, son of god Izanagi … After being expelled from the heavens by his own sister, Amaterasu, he travelled to Izumo where he met a small distraught family." The story easily flowed from the priestess' lips, her sober tone catching her student's attention, "An elderly couple wept as they hugged their daughter, lamenting the fate that had befallen them. Interested, Susanoo asked what had happened and he learned that a fearsome demon called Yamata no Orochi had decided to torment the family by taking their daughters as sacrifices every year.

"The anniversary of that day was bordering on it's eighth year and their very last daughter, Kushinada-hime, was about to be sacrificed to the demon unless they could find a way to stop it."

"But," Kagome's regretful voice added, "after eight long years of searching they couldn't find an answer, and their hope was giving away to despair. Every year was a new loss and a fresh wave of sorrow, despite their efforts the eight headed serpent always came back for their next daughter."

The young woman wove the legendary tale with ease as she captivated her audience, losing herself in a practice long conquered by narrating stories at the shrine. Her eyes softened as she recalled her days with her young fox and the hours spent on stories, both new and old. She failed to notice the proud gaze of the teacher in charge as she came to the end of the story, her voice rising in confidence as she reflected the bravery held by the godly protagonist.

"Susanoo's plan went exactly as expected," blue eyes lightened in amusement, "Snake demons have a hard time resisting sake, after all." The woman leaned back against the desk as she continued, "Yamata no Orochi drank it all and fell asleep carelessly beneath the arches set up for each of his heads. Susanoo took his sword and beheaded the serpent, making sure to cut away at the rest of his body."

Her pen clacked hard against the wood of the desk startling a handful of students, "When he reached his tails, however, his sword broke in half."

"The god looked inside the wound and found a blade lodged inside the demon's body," the class' eyes kept their steady gaze upon the teacher, willing her to continue, "With a swift movement he pulled it out and eyed it's great craftsmanship, It was clear the sword wasn't ordinary at all. It radiated power and resonated in his hands." Kagome gave a twirl to the pen in her hand, "Susanoo presented the sword to his sister to appease her after their fight, naming the divine sword Kusanagi no Tsurugi - "

The bell ringing snapped the students to reality, "Fortunately your activity only covered this much." The temporary teacher smiled at the students with ease as she motioned for the class president to proceed with the end of class ritual. The young woman failed to notice some of the students' disappointment when she stopped the story.

"You did very well, Kagome-sensei," amber eyes held warn as they glanced at her fellow teacher, "As expected of a shrine maiden!" Ignoring her teaching assistant's full body twitch, she continued slyly, "I can't wait until the next festival, you'll be there, right darling?"

A smile wove itself on her lips, "Of course, Aruko-sensei," blue eyes reflected the light happily, "I hope you come by and say 'Hi', I'm sure you'll enjoy this year's activities as well."

The pregnant teacher agreed readily, "I hope you wear priestess clothes, I'm sure you'll look adorable in them, dear."

Kagome snickered and continued walking to the teacher's lounge, "I guess you'll just have to wait and see, sensei."


AN: Ok, ok, ok. I know you hate me, but...

BUT

I have no excuse~ (what is wrong with me OTL)

- Fun facts no ones cares about -

Here we go~ (this got a little long...)

A lot of you may already know the story of Yamata no Orochi (八岐大蛇 / やまたのおろち) which traslates as Eight-Forked Serpent, this is a story that games and mangas touch on frequently because of the hero in the tale, Susanoo no Mikoto. This hero happens to be a god and brother of Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, he was expelled from the heavens by his sister because he was salty over being told to rule the seas by Izanagi, their father.

So, I think he fits the bill well.

Their father and mother have a whole other drama, one which ended up in the creation of these three, however you must know that Izanagi and Izanami were the first pair of male and female gods to be born and are credited with the creation of Japan and the world. Nevertheless, despite the fact that they created the world, they are not the first gods. The heavens already existed and were populated by other gods, these gods charged the pair with creating the world which at the time was a formless mass.

Now, I will not attempt to explain the complexity of japanese mythology because despite my extensive research I could possibly be inaccurate and it would probably end up being longer than the actual story. (and you guys hate me enough as it is lmao)

I do have to mention this though, I wrote the heavens as the place that Susanoo was expelled from. In Shinto, Amaterasu is the goddess of the sun, she rules Takamagahara (高天原 / たかまがはら) which can be translated as "the heavens". This is the place where the kami (神 / かみ) or gods dwell and according to myths this place is connected to Earth by the bridge Ama No Ukihashi (天の浮橋 / あまのうきはし) which translates to Heavenly Floating Bridge or Floating Bridge of Heaven. This is the way the kami travel to Earth.

Normally I would not use the word "god" and "kami" interchangeably, however I do feel it is a simpler way for people to get used to the word until it is phased out. Kami are divine beings, spirits, but even then it feels like an inaccurate translation, because it is a fact that it doesn't cover the term enough.

PS: If you guys want to hang out, I've been streaming in twitch lately. LoL, overwatch and random games? You can find me as FranticVee, it's mostly in spanish, but I'll speak english with whoever~ ;D
