Saiyuki Halloween special (part I)
Hakkai sighs and shakes his head. The others watch him. He turned to them with a forced smiled, which isn't very encouraging...
"Everybody... I think we're in a slightly bad condition..." he said pleasantly. The others stared at him blankly,
"We took a wrong turn..." he told Sanzo, who was still wearing his 'I'm- bored' look.
"... And we're running low on food..." he apologized to Goku who was staring at him.
"... And there's not a town for miles." he shook his head at Gojyo who raised an eyebrow at him.
After a moment of silence... the other two exploded with complaints:
"WAAAAHHHH!!! NO FOOD!?!?!?!?!?" Goku wailed.
"NO INN?!?!!??!!?" Gojyo whined.
"NO FOOD!?!?!?! I'm starving!!!"
"NO INN?!?!!?!? No liquor?!?!?! NO WOMEN!!!!!???"
"SHUT UP!! I'LL KILL YOU!!" Sanzo yelled.
"Calm down, everyone... it's a fine night tonight..." Hakkai said pleasantly as Hakuryuu returned to its original form. He looked up, the moon was nowhere to be seen and heavy black clouds were hanging on the sky, complete with a slight rumble of thunder.
"...I think..." he added, smiling. He sweatdropped as the others glared at him.
Goku pointed behind Gojyo, "Look!!!" he gasped, and nearly scaring Gojyo out of his wits.
"What's the matter with you, you baka saru?!?!?!!? Don't DO that!!!" Gojyo yelled at him, as he knocked Goku on the head.
"Shut UP, you cockroach..." Goku snapped at him, "I saw a house there..."
"House?" Hakkai echoed, looking to where Goku was pointing.
There was a silhouette of an old house. The three studied it from their position while Sanzo said nothing.
"It's nearly falling apart..." Gojyo looked at it doubtfully,
"Yes... but it's better than camping out in the rain..."
"At least the roof is still in one piece..."
"Nobody seems to be living there..."
"Maybe we could just stay there for the night?"
Hakkai turned to Sanzo, who was busy lighting his cigarette with his back against a tree, "Sanzo? What do you say?"
Sanzo stared at them coldly, "Do as you wish." he said.
"Okay, now that everybody agreed, let's go."
~ Inside...
"Hello??" Hakkai called as he knocked, "Anybody home?"
"You're too polite. Who would want to live in such a place? Of course nobody's home..." Gojyo said, pushing Goku out of his way, he opened the door.
A little later, they gathered enough wood to start a fire. Then it started to rain.
"I'm HUNGRY..." Goku complained.
"Shut up, saru." Gojyo snapped at him.
"I can't... I'm HUNGRY..."
"It's peaceful, don't you think?" Hakkai said with a smile. "And it's not raining that hard..."
Howling wind. The windows were rattling, tree branches were scraping against the glass, and lightning was flashing followed by thunder. Four of them stared into the fire. Goku was about to open his mouth, when Gojyo hit his head.
"Ouch... what the...?"
"DON'T you start..."
"But..."
"NO. Don't even THINK about it."
"What do I do then?!" Goku complained.
"Why don't you just sleep it off?" Hakkai suggested.
"I'll help you sleep, saru." Gojyo said, cracking his knuckles.
"No way, you kappa."
"Who's a kappa?!"
"Shut up..." Sanzo growled from the corner. He was polishing his gun, which was already gleaming.
"Yes..." the other three obediently.
After a while of pure silence, Gojyo spoke in a low voice, "Goku... you know what happens to travelers who're stranded in a stormy night... like this?"
"H- huh??" Goku gulped, and sat up quickly.
"It's common, you know... they get lost... and run into something..." Gojyo continued in a creepy voice, his face being illuminated by the fire. He grinned eerily, "... or something comes to them..."
Goku's jaw dropped open. He was edging away from the door and next to Sanzo. "Then?? What?! What comes to them??!!"
Gojyo shrugged mysteriously, "Who knows?"
"What do you mean?" Goku gasped. Sanzo glared at him to not come any closer, as he was invading Sanzo's 'private space'. Hakkai was listening with interest.
"Well... nobody really knows, do they?" Hakkai added, nodding.
"What do you mean?" Goku repeated. He was trembling slightly.
"Well..." Gojyo's eyes went wide and he looked around. He stared at the door and at the window. "Because nobody lives to tell the tale, remember?"
"Why...?" Goku whimpered. Sanzo rolled his eyes and snorted.
"Like I said... who knows..." Gojyo continued in his creepy voice. "They vanish..."
"Don't worry, Goku, nothing will happen..." Hakkai said with a laugh. Gojyo shook his head, "No... it could happen..."
"Stop it..." Goku pleaded.
"It's all around us..." Gojyo grinned, "Darkness, rainy... no, stormy night... creepy noises made by the unknown..."
"Yeah," Sanzo spoke up from the corner. Goku jumped from his position as Sanzo spoke.
"... then the door bursts open, right?"
"Yes..." Hakkai added, "And here comes the unknown, right Gojyo?"
"Yeah..."
"Stop joking... it's NOT funny." Goku snapped. Then he pointed at the door, "What? the door bursts open?? don't make me..."
Suddenly the door flew open. Their fire dies, the same time a nice flash of lightning appeared, and there at the door was a silhouette. Goku screamed his head off, and even the other three jumped up. Gojyo was shaking visibly.
"The UNKNOWN!!!!"
The 'unknown' was coming closer to them. It was slightly bent, and dripping with rain...
"Huh? Occupied?" a familiar voice wondered aloud, as the speaker tossed his hair back. There was a small flame in the speaker's hand.
It was...
"Kougaiji?!" Goku yelped.
"Sanzo-ikkou, huh?"
"What are you doing here??!!" Gojyo gasped.
Kougaiji turned to him, "What? The storm got you stranded?" "Yes... what about you?" Hakkai asked him.
"Same. I got separated from the other three." Kougaiji shrugged. He then scowled at them, "Listen, I'm not in the mood for a fight right now, but be warned that the..."
"... next time, you'll beat the hell out of us four..." Sanzo finished for him, as they all sat down. "I've heard that line so many times."
Kougaiji snorted and threw a flame into the dead bonfire. He noticed Goku was shaking and cowering at the corner. "What's with him?"
Gojyo chuckled; "You scared the pants off him." he turned to Goku, "Oi, monkey, come on. Unlike this guy's dad, he doesn't eat people, do you?" he asked, turning to Kougaiji
Kougaiji glared at him. "I don't. And don't make me try."
Once again, they were sitting around the fire. Hakkai said slowly, "Does anybody know the story of the woman with the long hair?"
Goku stared at him. Sanzo spoke up, "Yeah, I know that. It's a famous story, especially for drivers... right, Hakkai?"
"Yes... I usually hear it on stormy nights like this... so I just remembered it..."
Gojyo leaned forward with interest. Kougaiji looked at them, "Let's hear it."
"No." Goku whimpered. But nobody paid attention to him.
"I know it, but vaguely, though... all I know is that a long time ago, there was a woman, who was walking along the road. It was raining very hard, just like tonight..."
The other three listened to him intently, while Goku was very close to fainting. Hakkai looked at him.
"Anyway, this woman, she was running an errand, I think. She went to the neighboring town. She was actually on her way back when..." Hakkai smiled, a very creepy smile and his glasses gleamed, Goku shivered as Hakkai continued.
"Anyway... she was walking home, next to the road, which was at the edge of a cliff. She was having a hard time walking, since it was all slippery and dark. A jeep, not unlike ours was driving on the road. The driver had a little too much to drink, pretty dangerous, especially when it's raining..."
"Then?" Goku asked in a tiny voice. Hakkai smiled at him,
"Ah yes, the driver didn't see this poor woman. The woman got run over by the driver. Not only that... the hit was so hard because he was going at a very fast speed, the woman got hit, and she fell off the edge of the cliff. People tried to look for the body when the storm had cleared."
"Then?"
"Never found it..." Hakkai said, shaking his head. He glanced at Goku who was visibly trembling. "I hope I didn't scare you, Goku..."
Then the door burst open for the second time, a silhouette of a person with very long hair appeared. All five of them stood gaping at the door. Goku and Gojyo turned pale, Kougaiji took a step back, and Sanzo gripped his gun. Hakkai's jaw dropped open, "It's just a story," he said weakly.
Kougaiji's eyes widen and he took a step forward slowly.
"Kougaiji!" Goku yelled. "It's the woman!!"
"Yaone?" Kougaiji said in surprise as he recognized her, and ran towards her. Yaone smiled at them weakly. "What happened to you? Are you alright?" they noticed she was slightly limping.
"I'm fine, Kougaiji-sama. I didn't see where I was going, I tripped on a root," she explains to him. "I'm sorry for barging in like that..." she apologized. She was soaking, like Kougaiji before and her hair was out of its ponytail.
"Yaone-san?" Hakkai breathed in relief, as Kougaiji helped his subordinate to walk and sit next to the fire. Hakkai laughed lightly at Goku and Gojyo.
