Chapter 2: Dream eater
"So you're expecting me to sleep with you… In this room?" Sherlen asked and raised her eyebrow up. Her gray eyes stared at the four guys in front of her, who are ignoring her. "What the heck"
"Hakuryu's tired, he also needs to rest" Hakkai smiled
"What I mean is-…"
"If you want to have your solo room… You won't. Remember I'm paying the room and you still have to pay your debts" Sanzo said
"...Then where the hell should I sleep? There are only four beds!" Sherlen asked, nearly losing her temper to the Priest in front of her.
"Is it still my problem?" Sanzo asked glaring at Sherlen
"…Then I'll sleep with you" Sherlen replied as she pouts; she knew Sanzo won't let her do that and will eventually get her a room.
"No. Sleep with Goku or Hakkai" Sanzo said "Or you could just sleep outside"
"Nice suggestions" Sherlen twitched her eyes "If you don't wanna let me sleep next to you then get me a room"
"Why don't you sleep with me?" Gojyo asked smirking
"No way Kappa" Sherlen replied "…Oh… Alright, I'll sleep down here" The red-orange haired girl pulled Sanzo's bed mattress and set it on the floor. "You sleep on the bed; I'll sleep on the floor"
Sanzo twitched his eyes and reached for his gun; he pointed it at Sherlen who just yawned at him. "I'll count to three, if you don't return my bed's mattress; I'll blow your head up"
"Go on" Sherlen said closing her eyes "let's see if you can"
"One…"
"Ummm Len, you better give his mattress back" Hakkai suggested. Ignoring Hakkai, Len took of her hanging blouse which revealed her thin see-through shirt.
"Two"
"Yeah before he buries a hole on your head" Goku added. Len continued, she took off the clip she's wearing and threw it on the floor.
"Two and a half"
"Kei Sherlen, what are you doing?" Gojyo asked in an uneasy manner. Len pulled her shorts a bit which revealed a little pf her panties
"Three"
Before Sanzo could shoot the red-orange haired girl, Sherlen slid her legs to trip Sanzo. Her original plan is to make Sanzo fall on top of her so when she cries for help, people will think that Sanzo's molesting her. The fall-on-top-of-me plan worked, without losing any much time, Sherlen screamed for help.
"Kyaaaah!" Sherlen shouted as tears rolled down from her eyes "Rape!"
"What!" The boys screamed in unison
Everyone who heard Sherlen's loud shout when up to their room to check on her. When the manager opened the door he saw a Sanzo priest on top of a helpless girl. He also saw 3 boys watching the priest and the girl. The people bite Sherlen's act.
"He… He was tuh… Trying to…" Sherlen said between sobs "I told him not to… Bu…"
"She-Sherlen? What the hell are you saying?" Gojyo asked with wide eyes
"Do you know these guys?" The manager of the hotel asked Sherlen
"I…" Sherlen paused as she glanced at Sazon with an I-will-cover-you-if-you-get-me-a-room look
"Feh…" Sanzo stood up and walked away "Fine, just stop it"
"…I… Yes I know them!" Sherlen smiled cheerfully
"Wha?" The manager asked confused
"You know… Actually" Sherlen said shyly while playing with her fingers "These men are my brothers. They are helping me to enter an acting school"
"Oh I see" The manager said "Well you did a good act. I hope you'll be able to enter that acting school" The manager walked out off the room and closed the door
"Phew!" Goku sighed in relief
"That was a close one" Hakkai giggled
"That wasn't funny, Len" Gojyo scolded Sherlen
"I know" Sherlen said turning to Sanzo "Well Master… You said fine"
"Sherlen… I am giving you 3 seconds again to get out of this room" Sanzo whispered sharply
"Immediately!" Sherlen said getting her blouse, her hair clip and pulling her shorts up. Without any word, Sherlen walked out of the room "I'll be staying in the room on your left"
"…Women" Hakkai smiled "They are so powerful"
Before Sherlen headed to sleep; she took a long hot bath to relax her tensed muscles. She leaned her head back in the tiled wall of the bathroom; she felt so relaxed but there are still things bothering her mind. "I wonder how they are doing" Sherlen ran away from her home 3 years ago. She was 18 when she started to live on her own, she was 18 when she quit being a princess, and she was 18 when she became a friendless fugitive. Sherlen became busy in killing demons, killing demons, killing demons, killing demons and finding the right community for her. She was too busy that she hasn't noticed that 3 years had already passed. If it wasn't for the Sanzo-ikkou, she won't realize that she's already 21.
"Sherlen"
"Ah?" Sherlen alertly sat up. She was startled; she heard someone calling her. An unfamiliar voice. "Who's there?" She asked but nobody answered. She paused for a moment but when she felt no aura, she felt relaxed again "Maybe it's only my imagination"
Sherlen stood up from the bathtub; she dried herself with a towel and wore a nightgown that she bought earlier. The nightgown fitted her perfectly; it was a pink sleeveless nightgown with a see-through cloth material. She headed in her bed and went to sleep.
2 hours had passed since Sherlen went to sleep. It was nearly 1 in the morning when a voice called Sherlen's name again. This time, the voice who called Sherlen's name is very familiar. A male voice which is familiar to Sherlen.
"Sherlen…"
Sherlen opened her eyes slowly "Hmmm? Hakkai, is that you?"
"Sherlen, I'm here"
"Hakkai… 2 more minutes"
"Sherlen"
Sherlen got pissed and looked at the room door where the voice is coming from. She was surprised to see a black figure standing next to the glass table besides the door; for sure it's not Hakkai. This alerted Sherlen and made her get up from her beauty sleep.
"Oh damn it, why do demons have to attack me in the wrong time?" Sherlen whispered to herself, she pulled a scythe out of thin air. The scythe that Sherlen bears is larger than her; it has a hook at the end of the scythe's body, which is connected by a long chain. In short, it's a double blade scythe.
The figure seems to move closer, Sherlen didn't do anything; she just stood still. The moon is shining brightly and each time the figure step it gets nearer and nearer on the light – this is an advantage for Sherlen. "A little more" Sherlen whispered. It didn't take time till the figure reached the light. Sherlen's eyes widen, she dropped her scythe as her whole body froze. The man looked familiar.
"No… This… This can't real" Sherlen slowly moved her lips from shock
"Len-chan… You looked like you saw a ghost" The figure's face was revealed. He has pitch black hair and blood red eyes.
Sherlen took a step backwards "No? How?"
"Have you missed me?" The man asked
Sherlen explored the man's face and body before she could talk; the man pushed her and pinned her on the bed. "Yes… That exact gesture made me fall in love with you before"
"Ge-Get off me!" Sherlen flinched and struggled to escaped from the man on top of her
"You explored my whole self with only the use of those gray eyes" The man said leaning his face nearer to Sherlen "…How ironic to think that you've also killed me with the use of those gray disgusting eyes"
Sherlen saw her scythe on the floor; she could reach it with the use of foot. If only the man wouldn't notice her moves then she won't have any problems.
"Sherlen-hime" The man smirked then kissed Sherlen fully in the lips.
Sherlen flinched but the force of the man on top of her is too much for her. Suddenly, everything was covered in black. "I hope this will make you remember"
Pictures were seen everywhere, clips and movies; it's enough to make you crazy. The man disappeared and left Sherlen in the box of memories and slowly, each side showed 4 same pictures of a black haired man and a red haired girl.
Box side 1:
Sherlen was portrayed as a short girl, in the age of 18. She was sleeping under a tree when a black haired boy in the same age as her tripped over because of Sherlen's legs.
"Ouch" The boy whispered as he rubbed his head "Sorry"
"Daijoubu desu ka? (Are you okay?)" Sherlen asked
"Ha… Hai" The boy blushed when he saw Sherlen's gentle face
"Next time, please be more careful" Sherlen yawned and went back to sleep
The boy was amazed by Sherlen's attitude; it wasn't caring yet not cold. It was perfect. He decided to sit besides Sherlen.
"Hmmm?" Sherlen asked opening one eye "Do you need something?"
