A/N: Always wanted to try this. Long ago, I received a PM from one of my reviewers, Panther J about the idea of a Okami x Mew Mew Power crossover, so I figured, what the heck, I'll give it shot. So here is my first ever Okami X Mew Mew Power crossover.
Disclaimer: I do not own Okami, Capcom does nor do I own Mew Mew Power or any anime, game or cartoons I put in this fic. The idea for the fic belongs to my good reviewer Panther J. So credit goes to him.
Chapter 1: Into the Past: The Sun Goddess Amaterasu Is Reborn!
Prologue: The Tale of Nagi and Shiranui
"Long, long ago... A tiny hamlet known as Kamiki lay nestled in a grove of proud and beautiful cherry blossoms. Each and every tree around the burg was honored as a god.
However, the village was not without its dark secrets. To satiate the appetite of Orochi, a fearsome cave-dwelling beast, a young maiden was offered as a sacrifice at the annual festival.
With a body like a mountain and 8 heads mounted on necks the size of tree trunks, it's blood-red eyes alone were said to curse anyone who gazed into them. No one dared to disobey the horrific beast.
When the night of the sacrifice drew near... A mysterious white wolf appeared outside the village.
This wolf, its coat white as brilliant as snow, was dubbed Shiranui.
The wolf kept a watchful eye on anyone who ventured outside the village, and made a habit of patrolling the streets at night. People assumed the wolf to be a familiar of Orochi.
One villager took it upon himself to face the fearsome Shiranui.
The warrior Nagi attempted many times to challenge Shiranui. But his attempts were thwarted by Shiranui's swift movements.
Before long, the night of the accursed festival had arrived. A white plumed arrow heralded the coming sacrifice. Piercing the sky, the arrow sunk its shaft squarely into the home of Nami, the village's most beautiful maiden.
Nagi, harboring a secret love for Nami, was enraged by this sign. Determined to put an end to Orochi once and for all, Nagi traveled to the beast's cave in place of his beloved.
The Moon Cave, a place as dark as evil itself, served as Orochi's home. As Nagi stood bravely before the entrance... A beast appeared, eyes glowing crimson upon eight thrashing necks.
Orochi stood tall before him, anxious for another sacrifice.
Nagi leapt with incredible grace, swinging his blade valiantly. On and on he sliced, well into the moonless night...
But Orochi's hide was like steel. The blade left nary a scratch.
At long last, Nagi, his energy spent from the intense battle, dropped to his knees, fatigued and gasping for breath. He knew he was staring death in the face.
It was then, the wolf appeared. As if to protect Nagi, it stood its ground against Orochi.
In the darkness of the cave, the wolf's coat shined brilliantly. Alas, it was Shiranui, the wolf that dwelled outside the village.
Baring its fearsome claws, Shiranui leapt towards Orochi.
Orochi reared its terrifying heads, readying its fangs for battle.
The two beasts struggled wildly, thrashing in the darkness.
Mysterious and terrifying, the spectacle continued. Shiranui summoned gusts of divine wind to counter Orochi's flames.
As Orochi closed in on Shiranui, sharpened claws glistering... A gigantic tree suddenly sprouted forth, shielding the wolf.
Shiranui fought gallantly to gain the upper hand. However... Orochi, protected by a mystical power, was not easily bested.
Shiranui, covered in gashes, majestic coat dyed crimson, stood exhausted before the mighty Orochi.
Orochi saw a chance to strike what would be the final blow.
But Shiranui refused to give in. With its last ounce of strength, the majestic wolf gazed heavenward and unleashed a mighty howl.
Suddenly, the black clouds overhead dissipated
The light from above glinted off Nagi's sword as a beacon of hope.
Guided by his sword, Nagi, who had been taking shelter in the shadows, stood proudly to face his adversary.
Channeling all his strength into his scarred and battered arms, he leapt fiercely towards Orochi, his sword poised high. The golden sword danced in his hands like a puppet on a string.
One by one, Orochi's fearsome heads separated from their owner.
Orochi's broken body collapsed in a lake of its own blood. In that instant, the curse that plagued the villagers was lifted. As the battle subsided, the sun shone once again in the sky.
Shiranui had succumbed to Orochi's poison and struggled to breath. Nagi scooped the wolf into his arms and returned to Kamiki.
When they reached the village, Shiranui was no longer moving. The village elder gently stroked the wolf's head. In response, Shiranui let out a hoarse and pitiful bark... Then closed its eyes and drifted off as if into slumber.
Peace has at long last returned to Kamiki Village. In honor of Shiranui's heroic exploits, the villagers erected a shrine and placed a statue of the wolf within it.
Nagi's sword was christened Tsukuyomi and placed inside the Moon Cave.
The villagers all looked forward to a era of endless peace...
However, this is just the beginning of the story... The true beginning takes place far into modern day Japan, on a city called Tokyo..."
Tokyo, Japan: 2014
Zoey Hanson, leader of the Mew Mews, donned in her Cafe Mew Mew work uniform was resting her head on her elbow. She was in thought at the least while her friends and co-workers, rich but lazy Corina Bucksworth, smart and shy Bridget Verdant, hyperactive orphan Kikki Benjamin and cool super model Renee Roberts were cleaning the Cafe. It was then, Bridget walked up to her friend concerned.
"What's wrong, Zoey? You haven't been yourself lately... You can tell me." Bridget asked with a cute smile.
"Oh!" Zoey jumped up a bit in surprise, but turned to her best friend with a small smile and replied with "Hey Bridget... I-It's nothing, really..."
Bridget however, did not buy that and asked her with a bit of a stern tone "Something is on your mind. Don't try to hide it from me. You can tell me. We're friends, remember?"
Zoey sighed, there's no way out of this now. So she responded with "Well... It's about Mark and Elliot..."
"What about them? Aren't you trying to go on a date with Mark? But you mentioned Elliot's name. Don't tell me you're having feelings for him as well?" Bridget asked with a soft smile.
The leader of the Mew Mews nodded meekly. Before she can reply to her aquatic Mew Mew friend, a bright light appeared out of nowhere which caught the Mews off guard, when the light disappeared, so were the Mews as if they have vanished from existence...
Nippon, Feudal Japan (Not the one from Inuyasha, but an alternate Feudal Japan that became part of Zoey's world's history. It still has the past Japanese events from our world but in this story, took place before that.)
Zoey moaned as she struggled to move, she opened her eyes and saw a swirling darkness in the skies, she was on the cold ground and was near a giant tree that cherry blossoms fell from. She also noticed a statue of a wolf in a shrine. It looked like a page from her Japanese Mythology in her history books.
"Where... am I?" Zoey muttered as she got up, then looked down and gasped at what she is wearing.
She wore a pink kimono with a yellow flower in the center, her hair has gotten longer that reached her shoulders and brown sandals of ancient times. Curious about the statue, she walked up to the statue and inspected it.
Suddenly, a boulder came flying towards her and the statue! Zoey noticed it and was too scared to get out of the way, however, a woman with long black hair, wearing a pink and green kimono that exposes her chest a little bit, a green ribbon holding her hair up and a pink jewel embbeded on her forehead appeared out of nowhere and blocked the boulder.
Zoey couldn't believed what she was seeing. If she can recall in her history books, this woman is Sakuya, the Wood Sprite of Japanese Mythology. But is she real?
"How troublesome! This is just like the ancient prophecy of doom." She turned to face Zoey and the statue. Zoey smiled meekly as she nervously waved. "What has transpired to bring about such calamity? We must act quickly! There is no time to lose!" Sakuya sighed and added "My power has diminished over the years I've spent protecting this area. I don't have much time left in this world..."
Sakuya then do some hand motions and made a shield like item appear and shouted "Amaterasu, now is the time. 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 shield like item flew into the wolf statue and the statue came to life before Zoey's eyes! It was a white wolf with red markings and the shield item became a red shield of some sort. The wolf let out a howl as it leaped out of the pedestal and changed into a beautiful woman at the same age as Renee, white hair, white and red kimono with red pants and brown sandals, she also has white wolf ears on top of her head.
'I must be dreaming...' Zoey thought to herself. The wolf girl, known as Amaterasu turned to Zoey with a gentle smile and told her "I'm afraid this is no dream, young one."
Zoey was alarmed by this. "Did you read my thoughts?!" The half cat Mew Mew gawked.
Amaterasu nodded and commented "I think I'll explain that at another time." Amaterasu turned to Sakuya and asked "Sakuya, what has happened to this world during my century long sleep?"
"Oh Amaterasu, since your untimely departure from our mists, the world has succumbed to devious and vicious beasts. They have ravaged our fine and beautiful country of Nippon... But never have the circumstances been worse than they are at this very moment. Please use your powers to banish the darkness with the help of that young girl from another time." Suddenly, Sakuya felt something in her kimono.
"What's wrong?" Amaterasu asked in concern. Sakuya laughed as though she was being tickled, for a moment, something came out of her clothes.
"What on earth?" Sakuya muttered. Zoey and Amaterasu noticed a leaf bug like creature on the ground and he seems pretty angry. "You again?" Sakuya frowned as she folded her arms.
"Are you nuts?! Boy, for a little thing, you sure make a big fuss!" The creature shouted angrily. "I was just trying to make the conversation a bit more interesting, that's all."
"Were you napping in my clothes again, bug?" Sakuya frowned deeper.
The creature was even more madder than before and he shouted "Bug? I told you a thousand times not to call me that! I'm a wandering artist. The name's Issun! I'll show you how great I am and it won't be long till you're bowing before my great brush!" Issun threw a scroll at Amaterasu's face, she recoiled a bit before grabbing it and looked at it.
The Sun Goddess was surprised as it was a well drawn portrait of Sakuya. "Not bad... for a bug." She muttered so Issun won't hear her.
"Well, whaddya think? Even cuter than the real thing, no?" Issun boasted.
Amaterasu sighed as she reverted back to wolf form. Issun hoped on her snout and asked "Whoa! Why a cute girl like you transform into back into a furball? And who's the other cutey over there as well? Never seen her before... But furball here looks kinda familiar..."
"C-Cutey?!" Zoey was mad when the bug said that.
"Got it! You looked like that statue of Shiranui!" Amaterasu was mad as she swallowed Issun before spitting him out.
"Whoa! Whaddya think you're doing?! Are you crazy? A handsome guy like me shouldn't be covered in wolf slobber!" Issun steamed before adding "You'll regret messing with the great Issun!"
Amaterasu sneered and remarked "You don't look so great to me."
Issun got a tiny sword and threaten "Don't make me use my prized sword, Denkomaru against you!"
Suddenly, there was piercing roar forcing Zoey to cover her ears.
Issun hoped onto Amaterasu's snout and stammered "Wh-Wha-What's that growling sound? And why's it so dark, anyway?"
Sakuya glowed in pink energy and said "O, great Amaterasu... I've used all the power I have to protect Kamiki Village. The village lives on. Their spirits lie encased in my fruit. Cut it free and the village will be reborn! I trust you three to protect both timelines from this evil!" Sakuya then transformed into a tree with a huge pink fruit hanging on its branch.
"Is this for real...? Am I in the past?" Zoey muttered as she shook her head to clear her thoughts.
"Beats me, lady. I have no idea what you're talking about. But me and furball here lived here. But the question is, how the heck are we gonna get that fruit down from that branch and restore the village?" Issun pondered as he and Zoey were in thought.
Amaterasu has an idea and told Zoey "Follow me." She rushed into the tree's entrance.
"Hey! Whaydda think you're goin'?!" Issun panicked.
Zoey stared at the golden glowing entrance. 'What's going on here? If that wolf lady really is the sun goddess Amaterasu, then maybe she can help me find my friends and a way home back to our timeline!' She followed the wolf into the tree.
