((Author's Note: Now, before I begin, this is for those who haven't read
part one of Silent Prince yet. You might want to read those first 100 (yes,
that is one hundred) chapters first to understand what is going on. But if
you want to go on, this is a DBZ/Princess Mononoke crossover, but is in the
DBZ section because it mostly follows DBZ rules rather than PM. Otherwise,
knowledge of Singing Mountain and the first hundred chapters of Silent
Prince is required so that you know who the characters are.
((Another note: in responce to a review, yes there are many mistakes involving character names (Genji and Goten, Momiji and Murasaki, just to name a couple) along with bad spelling and grammer. Well, mistakes like that are more than likely to show up along the way from this point foreword, since I have lost Microsoft Word in a computer crash and can no longer profreed my work. I'm not exactly asking for, but I would appreciate, someone to help me edit past chapters, but that would be very nice. E-mail me if you're interested.
((With all that out of the way, on with the show.))
Chapter 101
Rebandaged and clothed, Genji was taken back to the village. Murasaki agreed to a meeting with Piccolo and Genji alone in the council room. As the sun reached its peak in the sky, Piccolo, Genji, and Murasaki sat together in the council room. Genji and Murasaki sat side by side while Piccolo sat across from them. The Namek explained the cure he may have found.
"After the attack, I flew to Korin Tower for the senzu beans. I found that Dende was there, practicing medicine mixing while temperarily away from duties. He told me that he took interest in your illness, and he thought he had a solution.
"Dende said there was no living soul on Earth who could cure you, Genji. He sugggested perhaps a soul in the afterlife could. He was making a potion called Draft of the Living Dead for you."
Genji's eyes widened while Murasaki looked confused.
"I'm not familiar with that potion." she shook her head. "It sounds European...."
**Yeah, it is.** Genji confirmed. **Miaka told me about it back home. It's a sleeping potion that is so strong that it relaxes all muscles and functions of the body to the point where they completely stop working. The one who drinks it is left in a death-like trance, but is still alive. The effect lasts for three days, and after that you die.**
Murasaki looked alarmed. Piccolo continued for Genji.
"During those three days, Genji's soul will have left his body and move to the afterlife. There may be someone in the heavens who can help cure his demon. Being in a spiritual form with Genji, the demon will be powerless to hurt him."
"But....." Murasaki gasped, "if he takes it, whether or not he is cured by someone, he'll die!"
"One senzu bean is the only antidote Dende knows. He'll push it down Genji's throat before the third day ends, and Genji's spirit will return to his body."
**Well, it looks like I have nothing to worry about....** Genji calculated, scratching his head. **Why not? Let's try it.**
"No! I forbid it!" Murasaki suddenly cried. She grabbed Genji's hand with both of hers. "I don't like the sound of it! What if you die? I don't want to lose you, Genji!"
Genji looked at Piccolo.
**Are there any risks besides the three day limit?**
"I'm not the right person to ask." Piccolo shook his head. "You should ask Dende."
"Genji, I won't let you!" Murasaki cried, grabbing him and hugging him close. "I don't want you to die! I love you!"
**Saki-chan, stop it!** Genji snapped, pulling out of her embrace. **Look, I want to do this, and I understand the risks. I'll ask Dende a little more about the potion, and if it's not worth it, I'll know.**
"But....."
**I know you're afraid of losing me, but I'll be fine. Piccolo said that he can give me a senzu before the side effects become permanent. Please, Saki- chan, this is what I want to do!**
"And I think it's a bad idea! Genji-chan....."
Genji took Murasaki's hand and lightly kissed her knuckles. She quieted with a gasp at the action. Genji slowly took his lips away, and looked deeply into Murasaki's eyes.
**I know you're concerned about me, and that you love me, but I would never do anything stupid or foolish. Piccolo would never advise me to do something that would cost me my life. Saki-chan, please....**
Murasaki choaked back a sob, and pulled Genji back into her arms.
"Oh, Genji-chan!" she cried, trying not to shed tears. Genji hugged her back. "I hope you know what you're doing....."
Genji looked over at Piccolo, who had grown bored with the argument and decided to meditate. Genji snapped his fingers to get his attention, and Piccolo opened his eyes.
**It's a go!** Genji announced, showing Piccolo a thumbs-up. **I'm ready when you are, Piccolo-san!**
