Chapter Two: This Is War

                                    

                                          
Aki was mad as she could be and tried to sound as kind as possible through this rage. "Kitsu, would you gather all of our allies who are prepared to fight for this school, their allies and vengeance?" Kitsu knew this was a highly rhetorical question. "Will do, big sis!" She was determined but also scared because this war could mean for her to lose some of the most important people in her life. 
                          
"I won't let their efforts be in vain, I will do what I can to help, big sis!" and like that Kitsu shifted into her fox form and ran as fast as she could to gather everyone. When Kitsu left the door Aki's flames brightened the room. They were everywhere and up for destruction. Good that no one was with her in the big training hall. Her anger took the best of her and she knew that with her power this anger could become a double edged blade. 
                          
As a kid she used to rage and burst into flames, her flames burn brighter when she gets mad but she used to always lose control of them and burn herself or the ones she cared about. "Relax Aki, you can control it. Calm down a little you need your power." She tried to regain control of the sea of flames. This costed major strength of her body but also her mind and when the flames finally got at ease Aki could feel a burning sensation over all of her body. 
                          
She could see that her body got covered in flame marks. She tried to ignore them and focus on calming down. "You have to control your emotions, and fight. Fight for kensei!" She regained a little peace of mind and then waited for Kitsu and the people that she was gathering up.
                          
Kitsu was sly as a fox and tried to talk people into the big upcoming war. She did her best to gather people and knew that taking a little more time was worth it. Every single piece she could add to this board, even if it's just a pawn would be worth it. Kitsu managed to get some old allies to join and also a lot of the victims to the many bullies that were at this "school". 
                          
Everyone gathered and they all went to an abandoned classroom to gather up and spread little info they had on the council, their members and the abilities. There were 16 people in total there, a few Aki already knew from the fallen heroes but there were a ton of new faces. 
                          
Aki cleared her throat and spoke up. "Alright, it's time to attack the student council. Let's make a few things clear: Everyone who has gathered here is prepared to put their life on the line, but no reckless fights. Don't throw your life away. If there are fights you can't win it's best to run. Last but not least Izanagi is someone you don't fight unless you have fought in the first war. Does anyone have more intel on the council?" 
                          
Everyone agreed to the rules and then Shin, a relatively young fighter spoke up. "I heard they have a member based on the African trickster god: Anansi. Anansi is a spiderlike god and is known for being very tricky, sly and crafty. But more intel is hard to get on any of the council members."
                          
After the talk everyone was preparing themselves when Aki went over to kitsu. "Kitsu, we're going to need you here. Look after Kensei and if something happens tell him but make sure that as long as this war is going he doesn't know about it. We can't let him come after us in the state he is in ..." Kitsu nodded and gave her a quick tight hug. She went with Akis permission to her dorm, the gate let kitsu in as Aki already managed some things with the gate before. 
                          
Because it was more like a living thing than a computer giving someone permission to your room wasn't that hard. Kitsu walked in and took care after Kensei for as long as the battle may last. She could feel a big fear overwhelm her because that one hug she gave Aki might be the last one.
                          
The small army consisting out of 5 seniors (4 of which fallen heroes), 7 sophomores (of which one being Aki) and 4 freshmen were heading straight to the council. They were going through the school and then walked straight into the front door. It was something that was so easy to do but it was unpredictable, at least that's what Aki thought.
