Chapter 2 ~ The Threat
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Dare?" Gojyo said, to the black shadows.
"Remember me?" the shadow hissed.
"You're the Scorpion Queen, right?" an icy, cold voice said from behind.
"Sou dana.....what good memory you ahave, Genjo Sanzo," the voice said, threateningly.
"Hey, what do you want?" Hakkai said.
"Well...if you want to cure your cute little companion of yours..." she started, holding a bottle of purplish colored liquid. "Then, come see me in the Lost Forest at 5.00 sharp, same day, next week," she said, and with a flick of her fingers, she disappeared.
"The Lost Forest?" Hakkai said.
"The forest is rumoured to be haunted by some sort of spirits or something...the spirit somehow eats anyone who trespasses the forest," Sanzo explained.
"So, no one dares to go into the forest," Hakkai continued.
"And she expects US to go into *that* place to see her???" Gojyo exclaimed.
"Well...for Goku's sake...yes," Hakkai answered.
~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"This forest sure is creepy..." Gojyo said, looking around suspiciously.
Sanzo, Hakkai and Gojyo are inside the forest as said by the Scorpion Queen, to get the antidote for Goku. Hakkai is holding the limp Goku in his arms.
"Sanzo...Sanzo..." Goku's faint voice said.
"Nani?"
"Don't go...let's go back....it's dangerous..." Goku pleaded.
~Flashback~
After the "Queen" left, they settled Goku on the bed, and Sanzo was always at the side of Goku's bed. Goku became weaker and weaker day by day. The usual genki Goku is now gone and being replaced by a lifeless "corpse", laying in bed everyday. He no longer whines about being hungry nor shout for food or anything like the usual Goku. The Goku now is just a pale looking living corpse. Sanzo, Hakkai and Gojyo are dead worried about this. Even Gojyo feels weird of not bickering with Goku everyday, and not getting his food stolen from Goku. Eveyone missed Goku...the once genki Goku running around. Goku noticed that the elders were acting differently and seemed a bit worried, so, one day, he decided to ask, "Ne, Sanzo," he said, putting on a forced smile, trying to look genki.
"Nani?" Sanzo said, looking up from the newspaper he was reading. "Didn't notice that you woke up."
"Is there....something...that you...guys are...worried..about?" Goku managed to say.
"Iie. Sore jya nai yo. (No, that's not it.) We're just worried about you, that's all," Sanzo said.
"No. I know you guys are keeping a secret from me! *cough cough* " Goku said.
"Goku...I knew that we couldn't keep the secret from you any longer," Sanzo sighed and explained everything to Goku. Goku just nodded his head and smiled once in a while noting that he understands.
~End of Flashback~
"Urusai! Get some rest and stop talking!" Sanzo said.
"San....zo..." Goku said, and with one last effort, closed his eyes.
"Hehehe...at last you're here, Genjo Sanzo," a voice said.
"Hey, what do you want? And make it quick! We don't have the whole day, you know? Kuso baba!" Sanzo remarked.
"Cool down...cool down.....don't be so heated up! It's cause you wrinkles..." the Queen chuckled.
"Damn you!" Gojyo said.
"You too, you red-headed taboo child!" she retorted.
"Thanks for your compliment. Well, you're not much different, huh?" Gojyo said, smirking.
The Scorpion Queen is also a taboo child. She wasn't such an evil woman after all......she had a tragic childhood. Her real name was Yuri. She was borned in between a youkai and a human, too, like Gojyo. Obviously, she had crimson hair and eyes. Her mother was a youkai and her father was a human. She and her parents lived happily in a peaceful town where the villagers knew nothing about any taboo or youkais. So, they lived there without any problems or conflicts. One day, a monk, who was a Sanzo, came visiting to their town. Everyone worshipped him, including her family, and went to listen to his talks. One day, he noticed her crimson hair, and knew straight away about her. As a highly-ranked priest, he had to demolish any youkai, because they believe that all youkais brings no benefit to the earth, and lived to create havoc (of course, our Sanzo here, doesn't take that seriously! ^_^). So ,one day, the priest brougth his men along and barged into their house in order to kill her and her mother. "Youkais doesn't have the rights to live in this world!" he said, and used his sword to slay them. Her father died that day, because he was protecting them from the cut of the powerful sword. She and her mother was banned from entering the gates of the town then. Her mother was so sad because of the death of her husband, and was sick, a few months after that, her mum passed away. But before her mum died, her mum told her,"Yuri-chan..."
"Hai, nani?" Yuri said, sobbing.
"Remember, once I die, you MUST seek revenge for your father and me...remember..."
"Hai, hai."she sobbed.
And with that, her mother died.
"Okaasan! (Mum!) Me wo ageteyo (Open your eyes)! I promise! I promise I'll surely seek revenge from that Sanzo!" she shouted.
Then, she went roaming around the place, until one day she met a man named Nii Jen Yii, he said that he could help her seek revenge. He told her to go into the the Lost Forest and look for the Scorpion King. Soon, she became the third adopted daughter of the Scorpion King. There, she was taught to be evil. The people there brainwashed her and taught her black magic and gave her the "Poisonous Claws" of a Scorpion, soon, she became extremely evil. 20 years later, the Scorpion King passed away, and she inherited his throne.

She ignored Gojyo's words and said, "So...about our deal..."
