I feel like I'm writing a script, not a story. Well, whatever. It's still Saiyuki Fan Fic. HMm. Will change the style of writing during the course of writing this piece though. Just you wait. Trust me.

-Prologue-

[Empress Gyokumen's Lair.]

*Kougaiji was pinned down onto the cold hard-steeled floor by two hideous demons of his kind, supposedly the Empress' slaves. He grunted, spat and looked up at the woman he worked for, his stepmother Gyokumen. She spoke with perfect evilness in her cold sharp tone, which meant absolute danger to Kougaiji.

Gyokumen (shooting Kou an evil eye): I see that you have on the verge of betraying me by befriending the wretched four. Especially my darling. (points her long bony finger at the far end of the hall - at a locked up Ririn *asleep*) Do you exactly know what you are supposed to do to save your stoney mother, my beloved husband's son?

Kougaiji (gritting his teeth): Yes I know of course, Your Highness. But I did not befriend.

Gyokumen (cutting his sentence, cackling evilly): That's good then, that's good then. Now let's see what we can do about you and your little.brain. (snaps her fingers)

*Out comes Ni Jieni from the darkness, stroking his bunny doll and cuddling it. He fiddles into his pocket, takes out a syringe, and an uncanning curled smile was pasted on his unshaven face. Kougaiji was pinned helplessly, struggling away from the grip of the two demons, at the same time having the thought: "I am doing all this all because for myself, not for my father king, not for this woman in front of me, but myself! Me, me, me! Ni Jieni."

-zshhhhsz-

*Kougaiji faints from the prick of the deadly syringe containing Ni Jieni's own concoction of the Evil-Deep-Within liquid. (Ni Jieni broke into laughter along with Gyokumen.)

Gyokumen (patting her abdomen): Hahahahaha, good job, Nii, good job. You know what to do next, don't you? Hahahaha.

-Exit Ni and demon-slaves-

Before long, my dear Gyumaou, you will be back. You will. Trust me. (clutches her hand together, head bent, face covered in darkness)
