Author's notes: Yes! I think…two more chapters before this story ends! I am so happy.

Thanks again to those who reviewed!! I'm trying to finish this as fast as I can, and now that I have a long holiday 4 days, from Friday to Monday in fact…, I can finish this and maybe another fic of mine! I am just so happy today! And the teachers didn't even give us assignments!

**Hakkai's POV, same timeline**

I stepped on the brakes as fast as I can, sending clouds of dust before our very eyes. I heard Gojyo choke, Goku cough and Sanzo 'ch' again.

"Where did you learn to drive?!" Gojyo coughed out at me. I just smiled, making him blush.

"Ano…sumimasen, but we have to get to Houto castle as fast as we can, right? So…here we are." I pointed at the castle behind us, the windows etched in full shadow.

"YEAH! Now we can get some exercise! Let's go and get that Gyumao!" Goku said with much anticipation, jumping out of Jeep and running to the castle doors.

"OI, BAKA SARU, MATTE!!!!!!!!!!!" Gojyo screamed, jumping out of the car and following the boy's footsteps. Sanzo got out and I followed, leaving Jeep to transform into Hakuryu. A few moments later, as we all stood before the large metal door, a small white dragon caught up with me and perched itself on my shoulder.

"It seems like something's going on there." Gojyo commented, lighting another cigarette.

"Ikuzo ikuzo!!!" Goku wailed, as if begging us to give him permission. I laughed and walked ahead of the others.

"Are you coming or not?" I politely asked, looking at my comrades carefully. Goku happily followed me, Gojyo who was strangely blushing went after him and Sanzo followed me last. Goku pushed the door open and grinned widely at the sight that met us.

"Yatta! See those? Those are … those are…GODS?!?!" Goku screamed, his orange eyes widening at the sight of gods being creamed by demons.

"By the looks of it, Tenkai had just gone stupid and finished our job for us. What luck." Sanzo alleged mordantly. He threw his cigarette butt down on the floor and smashed it with his foot. "Seems that we have no job here."

"You're the ones who were assigned to finish Gyumao, weren't you?" a voice, strangely familiar yet somehow annoying, met my ears. I turned around to see the Goddess of Mercy, Kanzeon Bosatsu, standing there with her hand on her hip and Jiroushin behind her.

"Us? Then how come you stupid gods of Tenkai let your gods come down here and do our job?" the blonde monk spat. Kanzeon snorted.

"Konzen, you don't expect your aunt to be so dense, do you? Of course I didn't let these brainless gods come down here." Kanzeon remarked amidst of all the chaos encircling us.

"Aunt? You're not my aunt, and I'm not KONZEN!" Sanzo retorted. "Why do you gods always call me Konzen?" he added, much more likely under his breath.

I watched the two converse, conclusions forming in my mind. Why do these gods call us by different names? As I remember correctly, Homura called Gojyo Kenren once, Sanzo being called Konzen and me…Tenpou. I don't exactly get it, but ideas started to swim around my head. Come to think of it, only Goku had the same name.

"I have to go now. Ja." Kanzeon Bosatsu told us, then disappearing with Jiroushin in a flash of light. As we turned back to the battle, it seemed that both sides were frail and both were defeated.

"Preferably, I think we should find where Gyumao's resurrection will be held." I commented. Sanzo agreed with me, leading us as we ran through the large room and into the second floor.

We ran and ran until we reached the second floor, but much to our expectation, a heap of unconscious you kai were dumped in every hallway. I tried to smile, but I was getting a bit disappointed about this god thing.

I expectantly hoped that the Gods in Tenkai would be wiser and smarter.

Maybe like Kanzeon Bosatsu perhaps?

I started to run to the third floor, fourth floor, to the fifth floor… sixth floor…. As we reach the landing for the sixth floor, I heard Goku's usual pants for nourishment.

"Sanzo…" he started. I closed my eyes in slight fatigue.

"Urusai, baka saru." I heard Sanzo snap, making my green eyes open again.

"Hey look…isn't that…" Gojyo pointed at three figures fighting. I looked at them with interest, then finally noticing that…

"That's Yaone-san and Lirin-san!" I remarked, my eyes widening. I can't believe it, I saw Yaone again!

Well afterwards, I thought the thought was practically stupid.

I should've known that Yaone would be here. Her master resides in this castle.

And she does too.

"LIRIN-SAMA, ABUNAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I heard the purple-haired girl scream, jumping out in front of her master's sister to shield her from the god's attack. Yaone pushed the youkai princess out of the way as she received the hit, a large fist coming in contact with her abdomen. As I watched in horror as she flew in top velocity to the wall, Sanzo and the others were already running to the top floor.

"Oi, Hakkai, are you coming?" I heard Gojyo shout at me, but I paid no attention to his words. My eyes were soulless as I watched Lirin kill the god off easily, pure rage coming into the princess as she witnessed her close guardians' attack. In less than one minute, the god disappeared into ashes, spraying into the wind.

"HAKKAI?" I heard Gojyo's voice again.

"Yaone-chan! Yaone-chan! Shikarishite!" Lirin screamed, running to her guardian with tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Ikuzo." Sanzo commanded, Goku staring at the redheaded demon. I didn't shift my gaze. I still stared at Lirin who had Yaone in her arms.

"Demo…" Gojyo retorted, turning back to the blonde monk.

"Ikuzo." He repeated. "He needs to be here. He'd catch up to us later, won't you Hakkai?" he asked me. I nodded numbly, not feeling anything as I continued to observe the scene before me.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Gojyo reluctantly obey Sanzo's commands. He ran to the top floor with Goku and Sanzo, leaving me alone to deal with my own problems.

"Yaone-chan, Yaone-chan…" Lirin repeated. She was crying so hard that she almost had no ability to speak, she was shivering.

"Yaone…" I mumbled, my soft whisper leaving my lips and reaching the purple-haired girl.

"Lirin-sama, normally, I wouldn't die like this, but in this case, it seems that I would." Yaone said with cheerfulness in her voice, her warm pinkish-purple eyes half-closed. "Go to Kougaiji-sama. Leave me here. I have done what I promised. I have served you until my last breath, haven't I?"

"Yaone-chan. Don't say that…" I heard Lirin sob.

"Why shouldn't I? It is true, isn't it, Lirin-sama?" Yaone asked with a smile.

"Urusai, Yaone-chan…I can get you to a doctor…to Ni Jie Ni, to Dr. Huang…I can get you to Oniichan, can't I? C'mon Yaone-chan, get up…" Lirin's cries became into sniffles.

"Just leave me here, Lirin-sama. You could not avoid it when it's your time to disappear from this earth." Yaone pointed out. "Leave and go to Kougaiji-sama."

"Demo Yaone-chan…"

"GO! If you don't want me to be mad at you before I die, go now." Yaone threatened with a false frown.

I saw Lirin take a few steps back, and then see me. She ran to me, countless tears dripping down her face. "Please take care of Yaone-chan, tell her not to go unless I come back with Oniichan." She asked me. I nodded and she left, leaving me alone with her.

I took gradual steps to come closer to Yaone, kneeling as I came near her. "Yaone…" I mumbled.

"Hakkai-san…" she murmured under her breath as I took her in my arms. Blood was spreading from her stomach, where the god had hit her. It seems that the god had some kind of weapon he used to cause this much damage in one strike.

"Yaone…" I repeated.

"I'm so sorry that you have to see me die." She remarked, her eyes still half-opened. "I must be reminding you of Kana-san, aren't I?"

"No…Yaone…"

"It's alright. I will die someday, anyway. I really like you, Hakkai-san…I do." Yaone said to me, her voice so soft to my ears. I felt her semi-cold hand grace my cheek, her fingers brushing away a lock of brown-blacxk hair.

"I'm really glad I met you, Hakkai-san. I…just hope that…we…meet…some other time…" she panted. I panicked – no – she wouldn't die right now… not now. "As…friends…"

I felt her hand slightly slide down my cheek, her eyes fully close, her breathing stop suddenly.

No…she shouldn't be dead. It's happening all over again…

And at that moment, I knew that she died.
