Capter 7: Fireflies are Enchanting

Goku awoke once again to see that he was in the jeep. "Hakuryu?" Goku asked not sure if he was really in the jeep.

"Kyu!" Hakuryu replied to him as Goku got up slowly, rubbing his eyes. Yawning he looked around to see that the other three weren't there.

"Where are the others?" Goku asked as he jumped out of the jeep only to fall face first into a puddle. Now if that didn't wake him up nothing would. "Gah!" he screamed as he got up and scrambled to the jeep's side. He breathed out a sigh of relive and looked up to see the starts glittering. "They sure are pretty..." he said dreamily

"Kyu..." a relaxed Hakuryu replied as he too breathed a sigh of relive. The two sat their looking at the stars, their really wasn't much to do other then that. They where on a road in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees and bushes. Goku watched with amazement as a beautiful butter fly landed on his knee. It got up and then went back down.

"What do you want?" Goku as in a childful matter. The butterfly lifted up into the air and flutter over to the tree's and waited on a tree branch. "You want me to follow you?" the butterfly flapped it's wings as if it was saying yes. "Alright, let's go Hakuryu!" transforming into his dragon form he perched himself onto Goku's shoulder's. Goku soon started chasing after the butterfly.

And the other three?

Sanzo walked through the forest, his hand resting on his gun. The three had went into the forest in an attempt to find the map that blew away, they found it. But that was six hours ago. Hakkai had no sense of direction and Gojyo was Gojyo, not even trying. They walked onto the road and followed the tracks from the jeep. They came to a stop, the tracks stopped. But no jeep. The three looked again, and with no surprise, it was still not there. "I'm sure that we parked Hakuryu here..." Hakkai questioned. Then a light went on in Hakkai's head. If Hakuryu is gone, Goku is gone. Meaning that Goku went looking for us. Meaning? That THEY are in the forest. Hakkai slapped his forehead and it didn't take to long for the other two to figure out what he just discoverd.

"I'm going to kill that chimp!" Sanzo shouted at he stomped into the woods.

"For once I agree!" Gojyo stated following Sanzo's lead. Hakkai just sighed and followed the pair into the woods.

Back to the Dragon and Monkey!

Goku and Hakuryu soon found themselves beside a beautiful pond. A tree had some roots inside the pond and fireflies glided along adding a certain awe to the scene. The butterfly landed on a rock and Goku walked over to it. The butterfly flew off the rock and landed on the giant tree that was mixed with the pond. Goku sat on the rock and looked around with amazement. Even Hakuryu kyued at this. It was such a beautiful scene. Goku felt Hakuryu jump of him and flew gently into his lap and laid there. Goku then heard the little dragon make small kyu sounds. He looked down and saw Hakuryu sleeping. He then caught his reflection in the lake. It was hard to make out but it looked like him. Soon his eyes turned to a lifeless state, as if he was in a trans (pure golden eyes, no pupils). His reflection fixed itself and it was none other then Sentien Taisen Son Goku staring at him. But the demonic half was not happy to see him, he shook his head, shouting. Goku heard a very hushed sound, "Run, ...pond...als..ife!" It was all crackled up "W-h-a-t?" Goku asked slowly slipping in and out of the trans. "Steals life!" his other half yelled as he reached out to grab Goku's hand. As if summoned, Goku felt a hand on his collar pull him back. He fell with a thud and laid there, looking up. Hakkai was to the side of him and Sanzo behind him. Gojyo was nowhere to be found. He then heard a splash and waking up from the trans looked at the pond. the tree was sliced in two by the shakjou. Goku then held his head as he heard a silent cry ring out through the quite forest.

"Damn it Goku! That was a life stealing pond! You could have gotten you life stolen by it!" Sanzo shouted at him with anger in his tone. Goku still clutched his head. Hakkai though it was that he didn't know what that was so he tried explaining it to him.

"A life stealing pond is a pond that was once pure and full of life but was soon polluted causing it to turn on men, stealing their souls in a defense to keep further damage."

"Just proves that you shouldn't turn on nature or it'll turn on you." Gojyo stated as he walked over to the others.

"I heard it..." Goku said as Hakuryu looked up at him, having just woken up.

"What was that?" Gojyo asked him as he now stood beside Sanzo looking down at him.

"I heard it." Goku said louder.

"Heard what Goku?" Hakkai asked as he sat next to Goku with worry.

"The tree's scream."

Woot another chapter done! Also, you probly have a few questions, like why the heel weren't they in a inn, or what the hell is a life sucking pond and why killing a tree has anything to do with it, you will find your answers to these questions and maby more in the next chapter! Oh, almost forgot, if you are wondering why I say address Hakuryu as both 'the jeep' and Hakuryu, it's to make it easier on me. So please don't complain about how I adress his character.
