[There is a gate on the Plane. It's a rather eerie-looking gate, lopsided and leaking odd shadows. Just from looking at it one would get a sense of fear and evil. This is a Demon Gate, and the creatures around it are clearly the ones that give it that name.]

[There are four of them. Two of them look like enormous koi fish, draped in ragged kimonos and soaring through the air on blade-like fins. A third looks like a huge flower bud, with four legs, a spiked tail and an oni mask. The fourth looks a bit like a decaying crane, and is also wearing an old and worn kimono, an umbrella wrapped in one wing. Surrounding the demons and the Demon Gate is a sickly red light, in which Japanese characters flicker like ghosts.]

[In the middle of it all is Amaterasu. She looks nothing like the sweet, even-tempered goddess everyone knows and loves; her expression is one of pure wrath, lips peeled back over vicious white teeth, hackles raised, fur on end. Her fur is spattered with blood, some of it red, the rest black and green. She's darting around inside the red shield almost faster than the eye can follow, a shining white light among the screeching demons. The mirror on her back is streaking out as if it has a mind of its own, tearing into the demons. There's a slash of ink and one of the fish lets out a shriek as it is cut clean in half, bursting into flowers as it disappears. Amaterasu has already moved onto the next fish, letting out a terrible roar as she leaps into the air and cuts its wings apart, bringing it to the Plane floor.]

[This is the other side of Amaterasu--the wolf, the hunter, the warrior.]

[The Doctor tenses slightly when her ears twitch but then he smiles in a goofy way.]

Aw, she is. [He finds her adorable. Then, of course, he remembers Amaterasu is there and suddenly he's all awkward. He stuffs his hands into his pockets and rocks on his feet, waiting for the lecture.]

[The Doctor is almost slack-jawed at that. Then he recovers a bit.]

No lecture? Really? That's all?

[This sounds exactly like it may have hundreds of years ago, when his teachers caught him doing something bad. Again.]

[She huffs and twitches in her sleep, oblivious.]

[He nods, tugging at his ear.] I'll try to treat her more...erm, well. I'll leave out the sugar cubes, we'll just say that much.

Are you going to be all right, though? That demon, I mean. You weren't hurt? [Yes, he is a bit concerned for her, goddess or no.]

[He smiles and bows a little to her, though it's very informal.] I'll let you rest, then. Glad you're all right.
