Recap: You had a meeting with your friends and chose to be bait and got chased by Nagato and Mutsu and then you escaped on a Basan.

Back to present

You are currently on the Basan, flying to a place you don't know.

Eichi Akio: I wonder where I'm being taken to? I should probably get some rest. **closes his eyes and falls asleep**

You sleep for a few hours and wake up on the birds back again.

Eichi Akio: **wakes up and yawns** I'm still flying? **looks around him** An endless ocean and nothing else. And why does it look like I had a shower?

Then, the bird comes in for a landing on an island that looks to familiar.

Eichi Akio: We're landing, wait a minute. **looks at the islands** Why are we landing at The Shrine?

The Basan lands on the shoreline and produces a noise that you understand very well. The bird call of The Shrine.

Basan: **special bird call**

Eichi Akio: **processes the bird call** Get off. Okay. **slides down the birds left leg** Thank you, you have saved me for a certain death. **bows**

Basan: **special bird call**

You walk towards the Yushenmu, The Shrine and see that the Yushenmu is in one piece.

Eichi Akio: **sighs** Where it all began, the Yushenmu, The Shrine. **walks to the Yushenmu** It brings back the memories of hiding me from public view while in public view. **steps inside the Yushenmu and looks around** War never changes they say.

You walk around the Yushenmu and admire its view that you can finally remember now.

Eichi Akio: **walking the Yushenmu** Lady Nagato sealed herself within this piece of history and faith. For two years, she was motionless, and for two years, she withered beneath this tree.

You walk around The Shrine and explore the place without people around and you hiding your face from them.

Eichi Akio: **enters a building** This is where they would play with dolls. A thing I couldn't do when I was little. Instead, I was being trained how to fight, use the Katana, fire a weapon, and outsmart my enemy.

You walk towards the house that you lived in with your parents and enter it.

Eichi Akio: **enters the house** Father and mother, always busy with hiding me from anyone and everyone. **looks at the shelf and gasps** It's still here? **walks over to the shelf**

What is on the shelf is a sword that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Source: Unique Japan

Eichi Akio: **picks up the Katana** This is the blade that father would have passed down to me if he was alive. But now he's passed, I'm sure he would've wanted to pass it down to me. **places the sword on his left side** The weight of a blade that can kill.

You exit the house and continue to explore until you decide to go back to the Yushenmu.

Eichi Akio: **heads back to the Yushenmu** I can see why it was so populated before the Sirens attacked. This place is one of a kind and is unique compared to the other surrounding islands. **enters the Yushenmu** It would nice to live here again, but it also wouldn't be either. Loneliness alone would be enough to make a man go mad. You can't buy anything either, you have to grow it yourself. **enters the Yushenmu**

After you enter the Yushenmu, you see a note that wasn't there before.

Eichi Akio: **sees the note** That wasn't here before. **walks over to the note, picks it up, and reads it**

Note

To anyone that is reading this paper, you have made a mistake. Surprises await around, but you can only find so many. The power contained here can only be used by those who are worthy of being the so called "True Shrine Maiden". The one that is currently the Lord can use this power however they wish, but to one exception, if they are to misuse this power, then the one that is next in line can inherit these powers and remove its misuser once they have proven that they will only use them for goodwill.

End of Note

Eichi Akio: This for an emergency if the current Shrine Maiden is to misuse his or hers powers. Well, I don't have powers of any sort, so this note is nothing to me. I'm a normal Human, just twice as smart as the average person and better skilled with animal calls of the wild. **feels breathing behind him and turns around** How do you get here so quickly? I was suspecting at least a whole day before you would figure out.

Danbooru.donmai.us/posts/3179685?q=Mutsu_%28azur_lane%29

Mutsu: You figured it out, congratulations. But sadly, I can't let anyone get away with this knowledge of the Yushenmu. If you try, then I'm sure you know what will happen. **giggles** Right?

Eichi Akio: Who said I was going anywhere? I'm stuck on this island, I can't float on water like you, and swimming away is suicidal.

Mutsu:**giggles** A bit of a smart mouth I see.

Eichi Akio: You mean hear?

Mutsu: You're coming with me.

Eichi Akio: What if I refuse to follow? I'm almost twenty years old and I'm a new adult, so I can choose my path. Keep in mind that I'm the one in control of the brain within my skull.

Mutsu: **giggle** Have it the hard way then. **raises her bell charm and tries to hit you with it**

Eichi Akio: **catches her swing mid flight** Didn't your mother teach you not to hit people with your toys?

Mutsu: **smirks** And didn't your mother tell you to keep your hands to yourself?

Eichi Akio: **lets go of Mutsu's hand** No she didn't, neither did my father. They were always busy with hiding me from anyone and everyone because of my gender. My father was know, but he didn't want someone to find his son and take him away. When I was six years old, my parents started to train me in the art of thy blade, firearms, marksmanship, animal calls, hiding, sneaking, thinking, hand to hand combat, how to be one step ahead of my enemy, and how to out smarting my enemy. I did that everyday until the Sirens attacked.

Mutsu: **giggles** So you know how to handle thy blade of the Katana huh? You're my new playmate then. **giggles** So I won't go easy on you then.

Eichi Akio: Who said that anything is easy? Who ever did so is clearly an idiot, it takes work to do everything and anything.

Mutsu: **creepily giggles** Nagato-nee-san, he is yours to put to sleep.

Mark Wayne Windle: She is saying Nagato-nee as if she is hunting her. Like this; Nagato-neeeee-san. Kind of like that. Let me know if you understand.

Eichi Akio: **turns around and catches her hand**

Mark Wayne Windle: MEME TIME!!!

Eichi Akio: **pulls out a flash bang and throws it in the air**

**BANG**

Mutsu and Nagato: HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE!?!?!

Eichi Akio: RUN!!! **meme music intensifies**

Nagato: **creepily giggles** GO FORTH MY LITTLE ONES AND FLUFFY, FETCH ME MY TREAT!

https://youtu.be/MabDqeseHg4

Eichi Akio: **throws a grenade**

**EXPLOSION**

The explosion scares some of the foxes, but none of them break.

Eichi Akio: **turns around and sees the large fox** OH HELL NAW, TO THE NAW NAW NAW NAW!!! **runs even faster**

You run as fast as possible into the woods, about twelve to fourteen miles per hour. And you can run for a very long time at this speed. The foxes give chase into the woods, but you remember the terrain very well from childhood. Heck, you even remember all of the caves on the island and their system of chambers within.

Your Thoughts

**still running** I remember the terrain very well from childhood, I can even remember where every single cave is located and it's tunneling system within as well as their exits and dead ends. Just another mile and cave number twenty seven while be within reach. I'll enter that tunnel because its system is very complex, it has multiple exits that are very smart and tight, it has many dead ends, it has water inside, and one of the exits is on the side of a twenty foot valley drop. Father taught me how to climb up a cliff, just grab any rocks that appear to be sticking out and grab the roots as well and climb the way you need to go. I pray I don't die of a fall.

End of Thoughts

You are coming up on the entrance of the cave now, and with the foxes in hot pursuit.

Eichi Akio: **enters the cave and slides down the entrance** Catch me yes?

The foxes stop for a moment and then chase you down the cave. But you have already place leg-snare traps in the cave when younger, and they have been left untouched since the day you placed them.

Fox: **stops on a leg-snare trap and yelps**

Eichi Akio: You'll be fine, it just keeps you in one place without hurting you to badly. **makes a left turn and then a right turn**

The foxes give pursuit and almost half of them are caught in your traps you placed many years ago. There are about thirty to forty three foxes in total, excluding Fluffy of course. In total, there are about thirty to forty four foxes chasing you.

Eichi Akio: **climbs a ledge and continues to run**

Foxes: **jumps the ledge and gives chase again**

Eichi Akio: Just quit foxes, you're only hurting yourselves chasing me. I'll tell them that in fox yes? **talks in fox**

The foxes say never and no back, but you continue to run and pop smoke about fifteen feet ahead of you to blind the foxes

Eichi Akio: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!! **throws a smoke grenade fifteen feet in front of him**

You run into the smoke and bounce off a wall to make a quick right turn and barrel roll to recover. Then, you continue to run again. You come up on the exit and prepare to make a leap of faith. The other foxes have gotten free of your traps and have joined up with the others.

Eichi Akio: **running** If I die, then they will hear the blessing of Emperor Hirohito as my last words. Here goes everything. **jumps** TENNO HEIKA BANZAI!!!

You make the leap of faith and make the twelve foot jump and land on the other side.

Eichi Akio: **reaches the other side of the valley and barrel rolls on contact with the ground and continues to run**

Nagato's view

Nagato: **panting** HE MADE A TWELVE FOOT JUMP!?!?! Well then, I am already on the other side waiting for him. **creepily giggles** My dear Eichi.

She waits for you behind a tree as you come a runnin at thirteen to fourteen miles per hour.

Your view

Eichi Akio: **still running** Wait, didn't I place traps here? I did. **runs over a net and is almost caught in his own trap**

You run even faster and past Mutsu without her knowing it. Then Nagato strikes.

Eichi Akio: **passes Mutsu**

Mutsu: WRONG CHOICE EICHI DEAR!

Eichi Akio: **gasps**

Nagato: Hi Eichi dear! **swings branch at you**

The branch hits you in the head and causes you to lose your balance.

Eichi Akio: **gets hit in the head with the branch** AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! (one of extreme pain)!

You get knocked out and fly side ways, hit the ground, roll a few times, and come to a stop unconscious.

Nagato and Mutsu: **creepily giggles**

Nagato: **drops the branch and picks you up** I'm sorry our sweet little Eichi, but we tried to be nice. But you ran and resisted, so it's your fault we had to use a very harmful method to catch you.

Mutsu: **creepily giggles** I have his spare uniform, boots, and hat with me. We'll change him into new clothes before we play.

Mutsu and Nagato: **creepily giggles**

(THIS IS THE END OF CHAPTER SIX. CHAPTER SEVEN WILL BE OUT IN A FEW HOURS. AS ALWAYS, HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY READERS.)
