Chapter 1:
News
Sanzo gazed hazily at the moon. He and the others were staying at an Inn, and for some reason the monk couldn't get any sleep. In fact, none of them could. Gojyo decided to go 'Babe Hunting', while Hakkai and Goku went to find something to eat. It was late, very late, but he could not sleep. The air was chilling, and it whispered of danger.
The animals were scattering around as if running from a predator. But they weren't running from a predator, they were running from their homes; from where a great power would soon be. Sanzo could feel the power in his body every time he closed his eyes. A new and powerful enemy, full of rage and hatred, had come upon the earth.
A cold threat pierced the air and spoke of death.
No, he could not sleep.
No...he would not sleep. He had a feeling- if he closed his eyes- he would probably never open them again.
And as that thought went through his head, he felt a power surge unlike any he had felt before. And for the first time in a long time, he wished he were not alone right then.
*~*
Kanzeon Bosatsu sat in her throne. Something was wrong. She had sent Jiroushin off to find out what all the commotion earlier was about. He had not yet returned and she set her mind back to the events of what had happened.
*Flashback*
Boom! A loud crashing sound came from somewhere outside and the ground Kanzeon stood on shook violently. "An earthquake in Heaven?"
"Lady Bosatsu!" Kanzeon turned her head to Jiroushin as the frantic God scurried into the room. "What is it?" she asked him. "Milady, a great power emits from earth. It disrupts the stability and disasters are happening everywhere!"
"Is it demons?"
"No. The power is too great to be that of a demon's. But many of the Gods tremble, and parts of Heaven are collapsing."
"Well, don't just stand there. Go find out what's going on!"
"Yes, milady!" with that, Jiroushin turned and went off.
*End Flashback*
'Could it be you?' she thought to herself. She closed her eyes and let her mind drift off into thoughts about the past.
'Are you still alive?'
~*~
"Sanzo!" Hakkai called. "We're back!" The monk looked back as Hakkai, Goku, and Gojyo entered the room. "What took you so long?" he asked.
"Sorry about the wait," Hakkai replied. "Yeah, Gojyo was harassing a girl," Gojyo's elbow came in contact with the little monkey's head, and Goku moaned in pain. "I dare you to say that again," he said in a warning tone. Hakkai simply smiled while Sanzo sat down and began eating.
The others joined him, and they ate in silence for a while until Goku and Gojyo broke out into another fight. This time it was over the last dumpling. A vein appeared on Sanzo's forehead and Hakkai decided now was the time for talk.
"So," he said. "What have you been doing?" Sanzo ate some chicken. "Nothing really. Just sitting around," Hakkai took a sip of his tea and paused for what seemed like forever. "Did you feel it?" he asked under his breath, so quiet that Sanzo could barely make it out. He knew what Hakkai was talking about. Goku and Gojyo stopped arguing and listened when they saw the monk's face.
"Yeah," he replied. "I felt it."
"Do you know what it was?"
"No," the monk put down his chopsticks. "But I can tell you this much," he stood up from his chair and walked toward the door. "You best get ready for a fight unlike any other," and with that, he closed the door behind him, and walked off to his room.
~*~
"I've got it!" Kanzeon looked to the right from where she sat in her throne. Jiroushin stood there, a small scroll clenched tightly in his hand. "Is that-," Jiroushin nodded before she could finish and she reached out her hand to take the scroll.
The assistant God gave it to her, sweat rolling down his forehead. Slowly, Kanzeon opened the scroll and read it. From that point on, the struggle began.
~*~
"Ah, morning finally!" Goku stretched his arms as he stood on the balcony. The sun was shining brightly and the boy was feeling much better than he had last night. He looked back into the room where the other three were sitting at the table. Sanzo, reading his paper; Hakkai, conversing with Gojyo; and Gojyo, listening while drinking his beers.
They had stayed up almost all night playing poker and mah-jongg that Sanzo brought in. Apparently the monk couldn't sleep either. And for some reason, Goku noticed, Sanzo seemed more high-strung than his usual self. And Goku couldn't help but wander what was going through the droopy-eyed man's head.
"Hey, Sanzo," Goku said. "No," came the sharp reply. Goku blinked. "But I didn't even ask you yet!"
"Doesn't matter. We're not getting breakfast until I'm done reading."
"What?! That's not fair!" Sanzo merely rubbed his pinky in his ear, trying to tune out the baka saru's pleads for food. Hakuryu squeaked just then and faced the balcony, seeming to back away a little. Goku and Sanzo looked over at the dragon, as did the others. "What is it Hakuryu?" Hakkai asked. Hakuryu chirped slightly and nodded his head towards the balcony.
The others looked, not really expecting to see what they saw. The Merciful Goddess. "Hello, boys," she greeted with a smile. "Kanzeon," Gojyo and Hakkai spoke in unison. "What do you want?" Sanzo asked. "Well, I guess there's no point in hiding it," she walked to the door and opened it. "Sanzo," the monk looked up as she said his name. "Come with me," she walked out the door.
Sanzo hesitated, but got up and followed, telling the others to wait for him.
~*~
Kanzeon led Sanzo all over town, and the two were getting some strange looks from the townsfolk. They were now walking down a worn path and Sanzo had enough. He stopped and spoke in an irritated tone. "Where are you taking me?" Kanzeon stopped in front of a fountain and turned to face him.
"Away," she said, eyes closed. "At least, so no one else can hear us," Sanzo looked at her intently. She seemed to be a little edgy. "What's wrong?" he asked her. She opened her eyes. "You felt it, did you not?" Sanzo looked a bit stunned for a moment. "The great power surge that erupted last night-," she paused and took a breath. "Was an exiled Goddess who escaped from her prison."
Sanzo's face now turned to a mix of shock and curiosity. "A Goddess? Who is it?" he asked. Kanzeon sighed. 'Here's the tough part.' She thought to herself. "More than one thousand years ago, in the Heavens there existed a Goddess of the anger in the world. She was known as the Goddess of Rage.
"However, at the time she could not control the hate that radiated from the lower world, so her emotions were that of deep loathing. She caused much chaos and killed many people and demons by toying with the emotions of others," her mind set back to the years.
"What was her name?"
"She had no name, really," Kanzeon replied. "Until she came up with her own. Nayami Ikari...she-," Kanzeon stopped, seeming to have trouble saying what she wanted to. "She what?" Sanzo pressed. Kanzeon took a deep breath. "She is my sister," that did it. Sanzo was now engulfed in shock and disbelief. And since when did Kanzeon have a sister?!
After a few moments, Kanzeon spoke again. "But that's not all, Sanzo," the monk regained himself and looked up at her. "What do you mean that's not all?" he demanded.
"Sanzo," she said, her voice soft. "She's your mother."
