Okay so I lied in Heaven's Hell. I am going to be doing this first chapter and then I SWEAR! On the lives of my Oc's

Oc's: *in unison* HEY!

Sorry, but I swear I will work and post chapter 2's as soon as this one is done with. This is my single version of the story me and Boredx2 tried to do together. It's a Saiyuku mixed my Oc's. Koori Caradoc, Sadiki Nazaire, Akirashima Ayameami, Elouera Anitaavalon, Nikkolei Nitpattanasai, Paki Nazaire. If you find you enjoy the company of my oc's I use them in roleplaying and I have also made several stories for them and their mates. I have an Ultimate List which contains 36 oc's and those are the ones I am most proud of and take the most credit for. I have so many other's it's not even funny. If you ever want to know more and read some of my oc's bio stories (which I need to finish typing...) Let me know, if you want a list of my oc's... It may have to wait. Because if I give you the list and you steal ANY of my oc's I will personally hunt your ass down and slit your throat. Thanks for listening!

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING! At least for now... I'm kidding. I only own plot, the bad guy (Hexsius) and my Oc's of amazing awesomeness. Haha.

Chapters: I don't really know, I have so far no real idea how long this will be and what random events will happen within this story. All I know is the beginning... and the end...

Warning: This will contain Yaoi, I do most write yaoi, I feel more comfortable writing from the point of view of a gay man... Which is interesting in and of itself. But not the point! My oc's are all homosexual. And I love making yaoi pairings in any and all anime's that I enjoy watching. I can do Yuri and lesbian couples but I myself prefer yaoi. Anyway, moving on. This will also contain: Adult Language, Mentions of Rape and Murder, Heavy Sexual Content, Blood and Guts, Tobacco use, and retarded moments.

Pairings: Koori/Sadiki, Akira/Damien, Elou/Ema, Niko/Paki, Sanzo/Goku, Gojyo/Hakkai... and maybe some others...

The Hexsius Chronicles

Prologue

Hard golden eyes glinted as a man walked through the door after flashing his false identification. Smiling charmingly at the pretty secretaries he passed, it transformed into a sinister smirk as he found the entrance to the lab. Glancing around quickly, he smashed the keypad lock and rewired it until the red light turned green. Another quick look around, he walked in, closing the door firmly behind him.

"Who are you? You're not supposed to be in here without proper clearance!" a voice said from behind him. He turned and saw a woman, her hair pulled back into a bun and thin-framed glasses perched delicately on her nose. He smirked at her and she took a step back. "What... What are you doing?"

Slipping the thin stiletto blade from within his sleeve, he was by her in an instant and held it against her throat. "Now, no need to be alarmed. I will have you know I am the notorious Hexsius. So, now that you know, I am sure you know what I want." His voice was deathly calm and the steadily increased pressure upon her neck had her frozen. "Well?"

"You... You want the portal... But... It's not..." she whimpered as the blade pressed even more harshly into her throat.

"I don't care for technicalities. Just get it running so I can get away. All right?" It was obviously rhetorical and he removed the blade from her as he twisted one of her arms behind her back and shoved her forward.

She led him to the portal, cursing the fact that she was the only one in the lab. When they arrived he looked it over, his evil smirk still firmly planted on his darkly handsome features. "You know how to work it, deary?" His tone was as sickeningly sweet as tubes of melted down sugar.

She nodded reluctantly.

"Good! Now, you set it up and I will jump through and you will never have to see my ugly mug again!" The cheery tone he held softened the look on his face and the hostage had a moment of belief in him.

Again, she nodded and went to the keypad at the far right of the machine. Pressing several buttons and clicking a random destination, she activated the portal. A whirl of light appeared, a translucent wall of sorts. "Thanks, deary." He walked up to the portal and, without even a glance back at her, marched straight through. The wall of light itself shuddered momentarily and she walked over to check on it.

When it stabilized, she let out a sigh of relief. Beginning to believe the stories of Hexsius's crimes to be over exaggerated she turned to leave and inform the president of the recent events. "They said he never leaves anyone alive..." She paused the giddy smile on her face slowly melting into a frown. She felt a bit of pain in her back and when she looked down she saw the end of the stiletto blade sticking out from her chest. Her eyes widened and the scream died on her lips as she slowly crumpled to the ground. 'So,' was her final thought, 'those stories weren't exaggerations...'

-:-:-:-

Koori Caradoc sat perched comfortably on a windowsill in the east wing of his home. His body relaxing as the pains passed, a hand resting over his left eye. Taking a calming breath, he turned back to the window and watched as his large makeshift family relaxed in one of the many large courtyards on his land.

A smile slid its way across his face as he thought of how peaceful things had been recently. No tragedies had befallen those that lived in his home and he was grateful. He stood up with a sigh, but it was still very boring. No excitement and no jobs; he was beginning to think things would never get exciting again.

The companies that had so often called him or Niko for their particular talents had fallen silent, feeling as though their skills were unnecessary. Another sigh as he made his way down to the kitchen, seeing as it was almost noon, "If this keeps up I don't know what I am going to do to occupy myself." He blinked and smirked as images of him and his mate locked in a passionate embrace flashed in his mind. "Well, there is always that..."

Another flash of pain and he grimaced slightly but continued walking. As he turned a corner, he uncharacteristically ran into the slightly larger form of his half brother. "Akira..."

The man in question looked at him, his black eyes curious but tilted his head and smiled enthusiastically. "Koori, you look like shit,,,"

Koori blinked and he released a huff of laughter and shook his head, a grin spreading across his own face as he continued walking; Akira stepped in stride beside him. "So I look like you?" He glanced sideways and laughed at the fake dirty glare his brother threw him. "I am fine, Kira. It's getting to that time again though..." Reaches a hand unconsciously to rub his eye.

The raven-haired elf nodded slowly as he watched his brother very carefully. "I can tell... You're going to lose your eye completely if you keep messing with it like that..." He smirked when Koori instantly dropped his hand back to his side. "Do you want a potion for it this time?"

Yellow and blue looked up into black and the redhead tilted his head slightly to the side. "Do you think I will need it?"

"If you're here? No... After all you have your special vault where you go for when this happens and you are here..." He shook his head, long midnight black locks swaying with each movement of his head.

They reached the hall and paused in front of the doors to the kitchen. "I don't think I will really be going anywhere while this is going on..." About to enter, Koori heard a familiar screech of a hawk and glanced up to see it drop down through the open skylight. He looked at the bird questioningly before holding out an arm for it to perch. "Hello, there. What brings you here?" He noted the letter attached to his leg and lifted a hand to feed the bird a treat from his pocket and then removed the message.

The hawk cooed and rubbed its head against his cheek; he smiled indulgently at it and opened the letter, skimming through it quickly. He made a noise of interest as Akira waited patiently for him to finish. "Well... It seems I was wrong..."

A delicate eyebrow arched as soon as Koori admitted it. "Wrong about what?"

Dual colored eyes flashed with interest. "It appears I have been requested to go on a mission for a company..." Handing Akira the paper for him to read and looking at the bird, he instructed, "Go back to your master and should they ever mistreat you, you are welcome here. We have a lovely aviary and plenty of open grounds for hunting." A blink told him the hawk understood and quickly flew out the way it had come.

Black eyes flickered back and forth over the letter, reading it carefully. "Hm... Hexsius? I have heard about him... He's the-"

Koori cut him off with a slight shake of his head, "Hold that thought. Let me call Nikkolei; I want him to come with us."

Akira nodded his consent and they were silent for a moment, though soon realization dawned in charcoal black eyes. "Wait a minute... When did I decide I was going with you?"

Blue and yellow eyes looked at him, an almost dully-dubious expression crossing his features. "You didn't... I did."

Black eyes widened slightly and Akira opened his mouth to protest, but could think of nothing to say. So his mouth slid closed and he thought it over a moment before he gave a careful shrug of his shoulders. "Alrighty then..."

Niko soon entered through the gilded front doors and stood in front of them, silently reading the letter when it was handed to him. "Hexsius? You mean the man that has been raping and killing women? And terrorizing villages by masquerading as a high ranking official?" His pale pink eyes glinted slightly with an interest that mirrored his mentors.

Koori nodded even as Akira glared at the younger creature. "Hey! I thought I got to talk about Hexsius and all his misgivings?" Akira's features turned from an angry glare to a sulk as a pout crossed the elf's lips.

"Well, obviously the great author decided to change her mind," Koori's baritone voice deadpanned.

Both Niko and Akira looked at him for a moment and chorused, "Huh?"

Red locks shook along with the head they held on to. "Never mind. But to answer your question, Niko, the very same. He has been a notorious asshole since the gods created him."

"I think raping and killing women is something that should move him beyond mere 'asshole' status..." Koori looked to Akira and saw him shrug his shoulders. "Just a thought..."

Dual colored eyes rolled slightly in annoyance. "Whatever. The fact of the matter remains that he is a dirt bag that people believe in. If he can find an official that is well liked he will boost the person's ratings by impersonating them. But what they have been unable to do is prove that as the impersonator, he has caused widespread chaos."

Akira and Niko nodded in unison. But Niko spoke, "So why have you asked for us to join you?"

"Since when does Koo-kun ask people?" The question hung in the air and azure and xanthous eyes watched them both his patience slowly beginning to ease away.

"I have decided to bring you two with me because my power is getting to the point where I can't contain it within myself any longer. I want to see how long this mission will end up lasting before I take any potion. Along with that, I don't do well in settings I am completely unfamiliar with. Seeing as this entire process includes dimensional travel, I would need the both of you to make sure I don't get frustrated and just blow the entire realm to nothing." His voice was serious as well as bored as he explained his reasoning. Everyone who knew Koori knew well enough he detested explaining anything.

Black eyes blinked slowly. "Oh..." he grinned cheekily.

Pale pink eyes watched Koori carefully before he nodded his head slowly. "Alright, when do we leave?"

Koori looked at them both seeing they understood his explanation. "As soon as possible; you both have one hour to gather your belongings and meet me back here." A round of nods and they all dispersed.

Koori himself headed to his room to begin packing and saw his lover sitting by the window. "Sadiki, have I ever told you how absolutely stunning you look when you place yourself by the window?" His eyes shone with awe as he watched his lover turn to him, long green hair spilling over his shoulder, and unworldly purple eyes shining as a slight smile slid over his face.

"You tell me often enough, ame, but I have a feeling this is for a far different reason than I am used to..." His eyes glinted a moment but he stood and walked over to the love of his life. "Am I right to assume, this flattery has something to do with you leaving?"

A sigh escaped Koori's lips as he looked up at his slightly taller lover. "Yes... A message has just come in and it requires me to go on a mission..." As much as he liked the excitement most missions gave him he hated having to leave his lover behind... Though he knew all too well how dangerous it would be, and he would never allow his lover to come into any sort of danger...

Sadiki looked at him a frown coming across his beautiful face. "Oh... I see... How long will you be gone?"

Koori didn't like seeing that look in his lover's eyes and so he grabbed his hand and led him to the bed. He pulled Sadiki down into his lap and wrapped his strong arms about his thin waist. "I don't know, love, it could be days, weeks, months, but it is too soon to tell at this moment..." He leaned up to place a loving kiss against Sadiki's full, pouting lips. "I'm sorry..."

Sadiki sighed into the kiss and soon found himself cuddling into his lover's embrace, enjoying the heat from his body. "I know you are, and I don't you do it because you need to..." He let out another sigh wrapping his arms around Koori's shoulders and burying his face into his love's neck. " I just wish you didn't have to so close to our anniversary... I know you wouldn't miss it for the world but I can't but worry you won't come back..." His voice soft and gentle as he took comfort from the warm embrace.

Koori blinked a moment and mentally kicked himself for having nearly forgotten their anniversary. "I promise, Sadiki, I will be here for our anniversary." His voice held a conviction that only slightly eased Sadiki's apprehensions, considering unless he saw himself that Koori was well he would never be reassured entirely. They sat in silence for a while longer before Koori noticed it was reaching the time to leave. "I'm sorry, love, but I have to get packed now..." He hugged his lover tightly before releasing him.

Sad purple eyes closed as he slid from his mate's lap. "I know, I should probably go busy myself..." He gave Koori a small smile and kissed his cheek before leaving the room.

Dual colored eyes watched him leave and a sad sigh escaped him, slowly beginning to regret the need for a missions excitement, he stood and packed his clothes and supplies quickly, grabbing his favorite weapon, the katana that was given to him in Sadiki's past life. He attached the sword to his belt and grabbed his cloak wrapping it about his shoulders and heading into the hall once again.

He found everyone there, Niko and Paki sharing some last tender moments together before they were separated. He saw Akira talking quietly with Damien a reassuring smile on the mage's face while a harsh frown was on his lover's.

Koori let out another sad sigh, hoping nothing tragic befell his family while he was away. He shook the feeling of slight dread away and let his eyes pass over the couples again before opening his mouth to get their attention. "KOO-KUN!" came the scream of his name before he himself was tackled to the ground but a hyperactive necromancer.

"I can't believe you are getting ready to go on a mission and weren't going to tell me!" A girl with grey and slate blue hair sat up, straddling the god's back. "You keep saying how you are going to start training me and everything and you never take me on missions! You are so mean all you ever do..." Koori merely laid on the ground, stunned by the fact that he had not noticed the girl sneaking up on him.

Sadiki walked up and knelt beside him. "Sorry, love. She was curious and it sort of just slipped out..." The grin on his beautiful face displayed his lack of sincerity.

"So... Am I correct in assuming you told her on purpose?" his tone held no trace of humor as he felt Elou begin to pound on his back as she ranted her case. He ignored her and with a quick shift of his hips, he threw her off and stood bringing Sadiki to stand with him. "Why?"

Sadiki bit his lip in slight nervousness, he knew Koori loved him but it still frightened him when his lover became angry. "Um, well I agree with, Elou... I mean..." He paused a moment when Koori pointedly glanced at the necromancer still sitting on the floor. "I agree that I don't like you never taking me with you when you go on a mission..."

Koori continued to ignore his sister and looked at Sadiki sharply. "So you did this to try and convince me to allow you to go with us on this journey?" The incredulity in this question had Sadiki feeling somewhat childish. "Sadiki, you know how dangerous these missions can be... And you especially would be in danger... This man we are after takes pride in destroying the good and making ugly the beautiful... If he ever managed to get a hold of you..." He stopped himself looking up into Sadiki's eyes hoping his lover would understand.

Purple eyes locked with yellow and blue and the taller of the two sighed. "I know what is at stake, Ame..." He looked away from his lover his eyes shining a moment before they hardened in their resolve. "But I am going with you whether you like it or not... I know you are not easily beaten and I know should anything happen to me, you will do all you can to make sure I am returned to your side unscathed." His smile was gentle, a smile that normally had people falling over themselves to please him. But once again, Koori had to be different.

"Sadiki... The answer is no. I am glad you have such strong faith in me but it is still no."

Violet eyes widened slightly. "That's it? Not a second thought about it? You just brush off my wanting to be with you? Do you not want to be with me anymore, Ame? Is that it? You just want time away from me? Do you not love me anymore?" All was a rush of words as Sadiki's voice grew tight with what appeared to be held back sobs.

Koori himself rose a delicate eyebrow. "Are you serious?" his voice became deathly calm as he watched his lover warily.

"I-I knew it! Y-you...you just don't love me anymore!" He fell to his knees as a sob tore through his throat and he covered his face in his hands.

Koori stood shell shocked for a moment, completely taken aback by his lover's sudden outburst. He was still slightly wary, his love often tricking him with rather incredible acting skills. "..."

Sadiki looked up at him, tears making tracks down his cheeks, smearing his mascara. "I just wanted to make certain we were together for our anniversary..." His gentle alto voice was quiet and pained.

Blue and yellow eyes took their turn to widen as he watched his love break down again into another fit of sobs; his mind made up, he knelt in front of his mate and pulled him tightly into his arms. "Shh, enough crying, Sadiki. I will take you with me then, don't worry... And I will make certain no harm comes to you..." The level of conviction in Koori's voice almost had Sadiki feeling guilty.

Key word being... almost... and in another instant he wrapped his arms around his love's shoulders as the tears suddenly stopped. "Oh, thank you, Koo-kun! I love you so much!" He pulled back and carefully wiped his tears, an overly satisfied smile crossing his face.

Koori stared at his lover as Sadiki stood and slowly he got to his feet as well. "..." He opened his mouth but was silent for a long moment as it registered that his lover had once again tricked him. After allowing his mouth to slip closed, he took a deep calming breath, held it, and then let it out as slowly as he possibly could. He sent a playful glare at his mate. "That was a cruel trick to play on me, my love. I hope you know that means you will be severely punished for it..." He grinned wickedly and shook his head, turning back to the rest of the room as they watched them both with grins on their faces.

"So, my dear brother, Koo-kun can't say 'no' when he is accused of a lack of love?" Akira's voice held a wealth of interest and he looked to Koori, his black eyes glazing with unshed, false tears. "Oh, Koo-kun! Could you please let me use you in some experimental spells? All those times you've said 'no'... does that mean you just don't-" He let out a surprised yelp as Koori threw a heavy tome into his face.

"You can stop anytime, Akira!" Koori's eyes narrowed at his brother in a glare, his dual colors flashing. "While you are mediocre at best, Sadiki is very talented when it comes to acting." His voice was laced with irritation but maybe with a hint of amusement. "Now if you are finished making fun of me and my weakness for my mate, then might I suggest you pulling the wand out of your ass and researching spells on portals so that when we get to our destination, we will have a way to get back," he growled and watched slightly amused as Akira pouted slightly rubbing his nose where the tome had made its mark.

"I'll have you know, dear brother, no one's wand goes near my ass! And my wand in particular is used only for the ways of seduction and sex." He sent his own mate a flirtatious wink and was pleased when his lover rolled his eyes at him but a light blush still dusted his cheeks. He wasn't paying attention to Koori anymore and was surprised when an even larger tome struck him in the back of the head and he fell forward, landing on his face without any sense of grace.

"If you would please, stop flirting with your lover and get moving!" the slightly shorter male growled again developing a sever tick in his brow.

Akira lay stunned for a moment twitching but eventually got up and began rubbing the large lump on the back of his head. "All right, all right, I'm going!" He pouted once again but went to the couch and sat next to his lover and opened the tome. After a moment of silence and some choice fidgeting from Damien, he opened his arms and allowed his lover to climb into his lap as he read, Damien did so with a small smile on his face and quickly began playing with Akira's long black hair.

Koori watched the exchange, a slight smile playing on his lips, when he heard a familiar airy laugh, almost a chuckle, almost a giggle. He looked up to see shining purple eyes and a pleased smile. His heart softened for his lover, but he still sent a halfhearted glare towards Sadiki. "Shut it, Kitty. Keep it up and I am leaving you there when we return so you have to deal with your months of heat without me." His voice was low and dark and he felt pleased with himself when Sadiki's smile instantly faded and he paled slightly.

"But... You can't! You know I can't live without your touch! I would simply go mad!" His tone held a whine and he grabbed Koori by his arm. "Please, Ame! Don't deny me what I love!" He finished his eyes looking slightly panicked.

The former god let out a deep chuckle as his lover began to tug on his sleeve like a child. "Calm down, love. You know I wouldn't but you also have to remember I don't need it nearly as much as you do." He smirked darkly, in a way he knew would have his lover unwinding.

In fact, Sadiki whimpered and leaned in for a kiss that Koori allowed, he left it simple but still effective and when he pulled back Sadiki was complacent enough to rest against him, with Koori's arm firmly around his waist. With that done, Koori turned to looked for his protégé but paused when he found him nowhere in sight. He blinked momentarily in loss, "Uh..."

"DADDY!" Came a cry before his youngest son launched himself at him and hugged him tightly around the middle, tears streaming down his face.

Koori let out a quick breath of air and looked down at Paki. "What is it, Paa-kun?" His eyes betrayed the worry he held for his youngest, as he continued to cry heavily, much like his mother had done not too long ago, only this time it was real.

"Oh, Daddy! Niko said I couldn't go with you guys on your journey!" His gentle voice cracked as he choked back his sobs.

Blue and yellow eyes stared down at him, his hand poised above his son's head in a move to pat it and comfort him. "What?" He looked up as he heard footsteps to find Niko standing in front of them, hands firmly planted on his hips in a stance rather unusual for the Vampire hybrid. A frown marred his handsome features as he watched his teacher and lover. "Are... Are you being serious?" The question held another note of incredulity.

Paki let out a sniffle and looked up at his father, his blue eyes sad and hurt, "I-I asked Niko... if... if I could on this mission with you guys, s-s-since Moon has been teaching me how to heal and I've gotten really good at it... So I know I would be able to help... But he said it would be t-too dangerous and I wasn't allowed to go..." Broken up with hiccups and slight pauses for crying, Paki rushed through his story.

The past god now demon looked at him a dumbfounded expression falling over his face, first his mate and now his son? "Paki..." he began his tone taking on a wary hint.

"No! I want to go! You have to let me go! I can't sit here waiting and wondering if and when you'll be back! You're even allowing mom to go with you! I won't even have him to talk to while you guys are away! Besides I know what Niko will do to protect me so I should be able to go!" He stamped his foot in defiance and looked up at his father with determination set in his eyes, despite the tears still coursing down his cheeks that made him look absolutely childish.

The dual eyed founder stared into his son's eyes for a long while before letting out a heavy sigh. "All right, fine..."

"AND THAT'S WHY I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO TOO!" The shout was made practically right next to his ear, causing Koori to turn and lock eyes with Elouera once again.

"Elou... Have you been talking this entire time?" A tilt of his head showed his confusion even though his eyes were blank.

Niko couldn't resist the chuckle that rumbled through him. "Yes, Koori, she has. She has also made quite an extensive list of reasons why should be allowed to go on this mission. I will not be repeating some of the things she was pretty much screaming at you... But nonetheless, I do believe she makes a valid point." His smirk was clear even as he looked down at Paki who had left Koori to snuggle into his love's side, quickly wiping away his tears before someone could say he wasn't strong enough for the mission.

"Oh the gods..." he mumbled and could have smacked someone had the only people in the room not been his mate, his sister, his protégé and his son... He blinked a moment when he spotted Akira still seated studying the tome. He smirked darkly and in a flash he was behind his brother and gave him a swift smack upside the back of his head.

Akira yelped and looked up at him glaring. "What the hell was that for?"

Koori shrugged. "You are the only one that can handle being smacked by me. Think of it as an honor to be able to help me with my frustrations..." Before Akira could say another word he was back and looking at Elou, his eyes hard. He placed two fingers against the center of his forehead as a way to block out the oncoming headache, even if smacking Akira had caused him some level of amusement. "Elou... While I appreciate your company and your skills... I do not believe I have the patience to baby-sit you while you constantly feel the need to not take anything seriously." The voice he had tried to keep calm and even came out a low guttural growl that had everyone present taking a step back. While most times Koori could have the patience of a saint, he had the temper of a devil and if anyone caught him off guard one too many times he let that temper explode.

Elou's demeanor changed drastically, a seriousness falling around her like a veil. "Koori, I know I don't like to act serious, but never have I lost sight of the goal or the fact that I need to always keep my guard up. You are the one who taught me that... And while certain things in my past were beyond my control, in this form I am as not as helpless as I once was." She carefully took his hand in hers and squeezed, her eyes sad but strong. "I will fight my own battles and pull my own weight, but you can't hold it against me for dealing with things the only way I know how."

Eyes of cobalt and lemon looked her over and saw her conviction, Koori shook his head. "I know you have grown into a strong woman and a fantastic Necromancer. Of course you may come... But you need to pack carefully; I do not know where we are going or how long this entire endeavor will take still. So, everyone go get packed, bring only the essentials and don't bring anything too big to carry. Meet back here in an hour." He kissed Elou's forehead and the hand he held before letting her go and turning away.

When he looked at Akira he found him trying to convince Damien to nurse his "wounds," but when his lover carefully refused, he settled for giving him a kiss that turned into a heated farewell. Koori chuckled lightly and turned to find Sadiki waiting to head to their room so he could pack.

They headed to the room and Sadiki slipped his hand into Koori's, lacing their fingers together lovingly. Koori smiled and reluctantly released his hand as they reached the room and grabbed a pack for his lover to use. "Now, nothing too flashy, love. I still don't know how the fashion is supposed to be, so keep it simple. And yes, you can bring your skirts," he said and smiled when Sadiki quickly ran back into their full walk in closet to look through his clothes.

Just as Sadiki was leaving the closet to pack the few items he had found suitable, Elou came bursting through the door her face a startling shade of red. "Koo-kun! I have to take Ema with me!" she cried, a whiney finality to her words.

Koori's eyes slid closed as he counted to three hundred in German, then in Russian for good measure. When he finished he looked up to see the dual haired necromancer still standing but her face no longer looked as sure as it had been. "Why?" No stalling and nothing else, Elou knew better than to waste Koori's time.

"Uh... 'Cause.." She bit her lip slightly as she paused a moment to watch him warily any trace of the seriousness she had held not even an hour ago completely gone. "... 'Cause Lian is gonna try and steal her away if I don't..." She looked away a blush coming to her cheeks in embarrassment as Koori simply stared at her as if she had lost her mind. The look causing her to feel immensely childish.

"Elou... Lian only kissed her that one times so you would get that stick out of your ass and realize how you felt about her. After all you broke her heart with your cold words..." The tone he held was one of overly thick understanding and patience. "And you do realize that Lian and Moon have been together for a lot longer than you and Emalthia? So why would she want to steal away Emalthia when she has Moon as well as Mikkel and Nikolei?"

Elou blinked for a moment, her mouth opening and closing in a bad imitation of a fish as she tried to formulate a decent argument. When none came, Koori smiled sweetly at her and he could tell her very insides froze in terror. "See? Now, Ema needs to stay here and keep an eye on Corondar and Kolkium. So, go finish packing and if I hear anymore about this, I am leaving you behind and assigning that you cook your own meals while we are gone, all right?"

The necromancer let out a squeak of fear and retreated just as instantly as she had appeared.

The fire/ice demon let out another long breath before looking over to his lover and seeing his pack full and being slung delicately over his shoulder. "You ready, my love?"

Sadiki flicked his long green hair over his shoulder and gave his lover a flirtatious wink, showing he was restraining his excitement for this trip. "Of course! I have several beautiful outfits to wear and my makeup cases so I can be the most beautiful creature in whatever world we go to... As well as this one!" He smiled widely and headed out of the room with Koori by his side.

-:-:-:-

As they entered the sitting room, Koori did a quick scan. He spotted Niko sitting on the couch with Paki in his lap and Lian and Moon watching over them carefully. Akira still sat with Damien, the tome at his side as he talked with his lover before they had to leave. Elou he saw sitting with her arms around Ema, a pout on her lips as she watched Lian from across the room, her eyes wary. Koori felt his brow twitch but ignored the impulse to smack his sister in favor of clearing his throat to gather their attention. The group all turned to look at him, even Elou managed to tear her gaze of distrust away from Lian and to her brother. "All right, I assume everyone has had time to say their ample goodbyes?" When he received several nods, and ignored the warning glare Elou sent to Lian, he continued. "Well then, Akira, you know where we are going so I will ask you to take us there carefully. No one needs to be losing limbs at this point in the game."

"Oh brother, you wound me! I will have you know that I have not lost any limbs through my travels for years now! Well... There was the incident a month ago... that guy's arm was already falling off so it's not my fault we lost it!" The mage looked around the room smiling roguishly at all the sweat dropped face.

A dark chuckle came from Koori. "I'll have you know, I don't care. Just make sure you don't lose any this time around. So come on everyone let's get this underway."

Elou released Ema with a last kiss to her cheek; Niko nodded to his parents and his brother; Paki hugged Aiko, Zahur, and Kenji. Akira kissed Damien on the cheek once more and smiled. Damien frowned slightly but said nothing. The final goodbyes made, Akira made a rune in front of him and spoke a word in an odd language. They vanished a moment later.

To Be Continued...

All right well I know this only has my oc's so far but I figured I would stop while I was ahead. I know better now what I will be doing from the chapters onward and I realized that the way I had planned to write this story had too much about my oc's and not enough about Saiyuki. So I needed to balance it out better. Next chapter will be about what is going with the Sanzo party then Sanzo party and Koori party meet. Will it be an amazing friendship? With flowers and unicorns? Doubt it... And who the hell is Mr. Bitchy Rock? R&R Please!
