A/N: Okay, and guess who decided to revive this project?
Yup, after such a long time, I've finally found some inspiration.
More so, during the writing process, I decided to rely not just 1:1 KOF lore about Orochi but rather a legend based on him along mixing with some other stuff ^^ (and, yeah, that moment when you realize on what KOF97 is heavily based on)
So, yeah, I'm leaving a link for anyone about ye boi the OG Orochi aka Yamata no Orochi
Yup, as the saying goes - "you have to read the manga first before watching the anime to appreciate it"
A-anyway,
As always,
Enjoy!~

An unknown amount of time passes by.
Soon, the blonde wakes up while groaning. Even so, Goeniko’s head feels so heavy and aching that it could explode at any moment.
Whatever this place is, even the mild breeze gives her goosebumps all over her skin, making her shiver and rub her arms.
After she sits up and holds her aching head while leaning on her elbow, Goeniko looks around.
Judging from her surroundings alone, she might be in an old, probably abandoned, temple whose walls reflect a weak orange flame.
The blonde feels uneasy as she notices she lies from what appears a sacrificial table and is dressed in an unfamiliar yet oddly recognizable blue military-style outfit.
As she examines the room more closely, she notices eight enormous, dark stone snakes decorating the walls, and their bare fangs loom over her. She widens her big blue eyes and comments uncertainly. “Just what in the name of-, is this place?”
Suddenly, she is startled by one after another, and the snakes’ eyes lighten up with tiny purple flames.
A second later, she shakily closes her eyes and covers her head as another powerful wave of headache hits her.
Meanwhile, all the poor maiden can do is shamelessly whimper as the various flashbacks of the deep past rush to her mind.
The first one is about an enormous eight-headed with eight tails snake of the size of eight valleys and eight hills.
Apparently, the legendary creature is fighting back against a divine being wielding a powerful sword that cuts half of its limbs.
At that moment, Goeniko can feel the serpent’s pure fury and hatred after being tricked by his enemy.
Despite that, after a hard-fought battle, the eight-headed snake greets its demise.
Another flashback starts similarly.
However, this time, it is a beautiful woman with long white hair and a white robe dealing with three enemies.
Suddenly, the blonde opens her eyes and breathes deeply, while she can hear her heartbeat ringing inside her head upon noticing a strangely familiar tattoo on this woman’s chest.
More so, when she gathers her remaining strength to unleash a finishing strike, that tattoo on her body glows in white.
At that moment, Goeniko senses that this battle’s outcome is the same as the previous one.
In the last vision, the blue-eyed nun is in awe at seeing one fluffy silver-haired male fighting against three people with similar auras to the previous ones.
After all, he looks like a perfect copy of the albino grass snake in his human form.
More importantly, he has a god-like figure, short, fluffy hair, and the same tattoo pattern on his chest and abs. It even glows in the same light as the woman she saw earlier.
Suddenly, the blonde gets on her knees and bends down while grasping around her throat.
Meanwhile, Goeniko desperately fights for a single gulp of fresh hair and shakily tries to remove the invisible threat.
Unfortunately, she slowly loses the battle while her face twists in pain, and feeling the sharp claws sinking into her burning neck.
In the current flashback, that man is in the air and choked by some redhead with murderous intentions for this entity.
Lastly, the brunette aids him by sending a wave of orange flame into his back to finish the divine entity.
Suddenly, the last vision is cut off, and Goeniko is released from the suffering.
A second later, without a second thought, she speaks up one certain name in a quiet, weak voice. “… Orochi-sama…”
After carefully brushing her neck and cheeks, the blue-eyed nun can feel her smooth skin, which has no bruises. Although, her cheeks were wet from the tears when she was choked.
“What is just my imagination? What I have just saw?” the blonde whispers in disbelief.
Yet, she gets alerted upon hearing one divine creature’s calm voice. “Did you call me?”
Apparently, it’s none other than the fluffy silver-haired male.
“It’s been a while and looks like your memory is returning.” He comments while smirking.
When Goeniko sits on the edge of the sacrificial altar, she shrugs as this deity approaches her.
After Orochi gets close to her, he softens his gaze. “You do not need to fear me.”
For sure, his voice strangely puts her at ease, and she lowers her shoulders.
The preserved nun takes a step closer while holding her chest. “Were you the one who let me see these visions?”
Orochi places his palm on her cheek. “Perhaps so. Have you not figured out yet?”
The sudden realization shocks the blonde. All she can do is whisper in disbelief. “Wait… Could it be - you are the same eight-headed snake I saw earlier?”
For now, Orochi only nods and explains in a calm tone. “Do you not understand yet? It’s one of your first ancestors that raised me and taught me a lot about Gaia.”
Soon, Orochi’s face darkens. “As time went on, these pesky parasites who call themselves humans turned their backs to the gods and not only they disrespected but abused my precious Gaia. Of course, I had to punish these pathetic worms and kill them all.”
Meanwhile, Goeniko only carefully listens to the proud divine deity. “However, your ancestors step in and intrigued me by offering me their finest wine and a sacrifice once per year. For years, I was satisfied and these pathetic creatures feared me. Even if they disobeyed me, I would destroy a village or two to remind their place.”
After a brief pause, he adds. “Unfortunately, the gods sent that cursed Susanoo to do all the dirty work to get rid of me. If I only knew that something was off about that generous offer of sake, I would not fall for his trap and I could have crushed him like any other human who dared to challenge me. However, I regained my consciousness too late, and I stood no chance against him.”
At that moment, Goeniko turns her head and lowers her gaze.
After noticing the gloomy maiden, the fluffy silver-haired male gently tilts her chin and exhales. “You should not blame yourself. Your ancestors never betrayed me and served me well. They even got a cult of followers that worshiped me. Besides, I only lost my body after that fateful battle.”
A second later, he gives a comforting smile. “As years have passed, I finally found a suitable host that could contain my soul without breaking it. However, this time, the heirs of Kusanagi, Yasakani and Yata wanted to stop me. Even with limitations of the human body I had, we still had a long, but a great fight, even if I was defeated again.”
After briefly closing his eyes, Orochi confesses with a satisfied look. “Yet, a year hasn’t passed, and I was greeted with a rather unexpected turn of events. Apparently, Yasakani’s jealousy has brought him to my shrine. At first, I ignored that weak-willed man, but he was too stubborn, and his request piqued my curiosity. I granted him a grain of my power for him and his descendants, giving up their family name. Thus, the day when once known Yasakani flame became purple, was the beginning of the Kusanagi and Yagami clans becoming sworn enemies.”
Lastly, he adds. “Centuries have passed. And the Hakkesshus has finally broken the seal. Unfortunately, even if I forced Yagami to awake and fulfil his mission to kill the Kusanagi’s heir, he has failed miserably. Even after I got resurrected and had another battle against the recent generation of the Sacred Treasures, I was sealed again.”
When the blonde finishes listening to Orochi’s story, she still has a lot of unanswered questions.
Despite that, she widens her big blue eyes and gives a questioning look while supporting her chin. “Wait… Don’t tell me… That animal fight I saw before meeting you - was it also your fight against these bad people?”
Meanwhile, the divine entity slowly blinks and nods.
Goeniko places her palms on his chest and gently pushes him away before stepping back.
While she keeps her hand close to her heart, she asks without removing her eyes from Orochi. “I don’t understand… How can you be sure that I am from the same clan you mentioned? What if you are mistaking me for someone else?”
“Then, raise your palm while aiming at any of these statues.” The silver-haired male orders.
For a second, Goeniko doubts this man’s intentions. Yet, she straightens her back and does what she has to do.
Suddenly, she feels the gush of wind running through her palm and fingertips before releasing it.
A second later, one of the snake’s flames dimmed away.
It surprises Goeniko, but it feels so natural for her as it always has been with her.
Meanwhile, Orochi keeps a satisfied look on his face while crossing his arms and resting his head on his fingers. “I knew I was right. You are a descendant of the Hakkesshu clan, after all.”
A couple of moments later, he wraps his arms around his partner and closes his eyes.
At that moment, Goeniko feels the heat rushing to her cheeks and narrows her gaze as one arm pulls her into a tighter hug while another strokes her head.
Soon, Orochi comments in a soft tone. “It seems that no matter for how long the time has separated us, the fate has finally brought us together. … As it should be. However, I’ll make sure that you won’t need to suffer any longer.”
Meanwhile, the blonde silently exhales and closes her eyes while resting her head against her adored person’s chest.
After a while, the blonde pushes him away gently, placing her palms on his chest and keeping her demanding eyes on him. “Then there is something I need to do first.”
When Orochi releases her from the tender embrace, Goeniko lowers herself to one knee, her head bowed in reverence. “I, Goeniko of the Hakkesshu clan, offering you my body, heart and soul as my humble sign of loyalty to you. From this moment forward, I swear to protect you with all that I am. No harm shall befall you as long as I draw breath. Your enemies shall become mine, and your battles, my own.”
After she lifts her head, she adds with a firm determination in her voice. “All I ever wish is for being like you and be guided by you. So, please, lead me in that way of being.”
For now, Orochi lowers his hand and brings it to the preserved nun.
Thus, without hesitation, Goeniko takes it into her palms and brings it to her cheek. Upon nuzzling it, she closes her loving eyes.
The divine being is satisfied and approves the blonde’s genial vow. “How fitting of you. Very well. Rise, Goeniko. Your loyalty and strength shall not go unnoticed. Together, we shall navigate the currents of fate, and you shall be an extension of my will in this world.”
In the end, Goeniko lands a soft kiss on his palm before allowing him to help her to stand up.
Thus, the two figures, god and mortal, stood united in their destiny, ready to face whatever challenges awaited them in this otherworldly realm.
As the last echoes of their vows lingered in the air, the sacred flames continued to dance, casting a warm glow on the ancient temple that had witnessed the intertwining of their fates.
