Description
Finally I have finished this picture..that's what watching futurama and drinking tons of Dr.pepper would do to a manthanks
Not all Oni bounty are to be taken on cold dark nights.For instance take the tandem of Makabe and Marifuji.Two men who've robbed the elderly,the sick and deceased and further more raped young village girls who would go down to the river to bathe and wash their clothing.
Two men such as this would have a bounty on their heads somewhere,it just so happens to be the bounty is other worldly.Eluding and killing lawmen,escaping with their armor,money and weaponry would get them far in this life.Very far as a matter of fact...
The years have passed and passed and the duo aged gracefully and somehow grew apart.They've neglected the fact that in the old days they were no better than the ravens who picked the flesh from rotting corpses of the battle field.One could say they actually grew into pillars of their community.donating ryo to the sick and hungry and always offering a smile to the children who played in the streets
Much as the time has eluded it also escaped the lawmen who have given them up for dead.BUT that did not change the fact that there was a bounty,and the time to collect was near
4 years had passed since the two had last seen one another.An even bigger twist of irony that Makabe and Marifuji would happen to be on the same beach with offerings and thanks to the head of a once great Buddha statue on a warm summer afternoon.The two would speak of what they've done over the years they had missed around one another.What more could old friends ask for? A warm summer afternoon,laughs,great memories and the sounds of the signing gulls over the lightly crashing waves
Marifuji is his angst would mention their the darker days of their youth.Makabe would only pretend to have forgotten at first but the craftiness of Marifuji would strike a chord with Makabe and cause him to lose himself in the moment.Makabe felt ashamed of having admitted to such barbarism
As the two friends would agree to never speak of those times again and ready themselves to part ways,the clear blue sky grew dark with uzumaki and the light waves would grow into thundering claps of anger and consume the statues head as if it were blinding it's vision.
confused and with a new sense of fear the duo could have ran,but the confusion on how the sky could grow dark and the ocean waves could grow angry without a storm brewing left them cemented in their place.
Lightning would strike the soft sand leaving smoke and dust clouding their vision.After the dust settled Makabe and Marifuji were caught in awe at another sight.The bounty was here!!
There she was,standing bold and in a kimono that most men would have sold there souls for.A woman so cruel in her former life,that it would only be fitting for her to collect the souls of evil men for the bounties of Jigoku.Her jagged sadistic smile was enough motivation to cause the duo to run as if they were men in their early twenties.
They didn't get very far.Marifuji being the faster of the two worried less and less of Makabe's safety with each step he took,but he grew winded for his youth was expired.He found small comfort in hiding behind stones in the sand big enough to hide himself and his companion but Makabe was no where to be found.When he gathered his lungs he was not sure if he should call for Makabe or continue to run selfishly to his life.
The sky spilled screams of thunder then rain with the taste of iron,but the thing that Marifuji questioned the most was why the rest of the beach was dry.He quickly glances up and THERE was Makabe glancing down at him.Makabe's health would be the reason why the rain did not cover the entire beach and that it taste of iron.The rain was the blood of Makabe
"Teeth"was skillful enough to behead a fleeing Makabe and silently Stalk Marifuji to his hiding shelter that would ironically be the tombstones of both men.
She makes haste with her collections .Moments after the sky cleared and the gulls took flight once more only to sing their songs to sweet little Kayako and her two daughters who would enjoy the rest of their afternoon at the warm quiet beach
