Saiyuki Halloween ~Part II
Yaone looked around. "Um, Kougaiji-sama." she started nervously, looking around once more.
"Hmm?"
"Um. why are we here?" she asked quietly.
Kougaiji sighs, "Unfortunately, we have to stay here. It's raining and dark outside, we'll stay here until the rain clears." Yaone nods obediently and sits down as Kougaiji throws in more flame. Yaone leaned against the wall. Absentmindedly, she put her left hand on the floor. She noticed that she touched something and looked at it closely. It was a very old rag doll. "What's that?" Kougaiji asked, as he watched his subordinate.
"It's just an old doll." she muttered, "It reminds me of something."
The rest looked at her, "Of what?" Hakkai asked.
"Oh. nothing. it's just a story I heard. about a girl and a doll," she said. She blushed as she noticed everybody was staring at her. "Um, yes?"
"Does it happen to be a ghost story?" Gojyo asked with interest. Goku blanched.
"Yes. I heard it a long time ago. I can't remember it in detail, however."
"Let's hear it." Kougaiji said.
"B- but. it's nothing. really," she stammered.
"Never mind. Yaone, it's an order." He smiled and winked as he leant against the wall.
*I'm sorry. I just have to add that. -_-' Pls. Continue.
Yaone looked at him, "As you wish." she sighs, "I heard, that a family had once lived in the outskirts of a town. They were just a poor simple family. They had a daughter. She wasn't very young, or very old probably about 10 anyway. As on most days the parents went to work. She was left alone in the house. They were poor, so they can't afford her to go to school." She paused, amazed have how the others been fixedly listening to her.
"This girl, however, has amazing imagination. Her only friend, since they live quite far away from town, was a rag doll. not very much different from this one." she said, holding out the doll. She traced the lining of its face. She continued, "She imagines that the doll could also speak, and they play together. After a long time that she's had this doll, she became very attached to it. She goes everywhere with it."
"Then, she went to the woods one day, with the doll of course, to play. She enjoyed herself for a while. Then, she remembered that she had to go home before her parents get back." She paused again. She looked up, and saw Goku shivering visibly. "Um. I think I'd better not continue. since."
"No." Sanzo spoke up.
"Go right ahead. Don't mind the saru." Gojyo added.
"Alright." Yaone said doubtfully. "It was stormy that night, and she was supposed to go to sleep. Then, she noticed that her doll was missing. she guessed that she must have left it in the woods. She went to tell her parents, but they said that they'd look for it tomorrow. Reluctantly, she went to sleep."
She smiled, her pretty face was illuminated by the dim light and continued, "Then, she woke up in the middle of the night, she heard somebody call her. She assumed it was just the wind. Once again, she heard it. She was sure it wasn't the wind. She got dressed and slipped out of the house. She was convinced it was her doll."
"Then?" Goku asked in a hoarse whisper.
"She went into the woods, of course. Next morning, her parents didn't find her. They asked for help in town to look for her. Sadly she was never found. Years later, some people in town claims to have seen this girl, but then vanishes. They say she was still looking, searching for her precious doll."
They all gaped at her. Goku was on the verge of cracking up. Yaone smiled weakly, "It's just a story. don't worry."
Then the door flew open for the third time, this time, the silhouette was of a smaller person, and obviously it was a girl. The fire died and they stared at the silhouette.
"IT'S THE GIRL LOOKING FOR HER DOLL!!!!" Goku and Gojyo shrieked, cowering behind Sanzo who had his tessen out, and looked really irritated.
"I don't play with DOLLS, Nii does." A familiar voice answered. She sounded annoyed.
"Ririn!!" Kougaiji exclaimed frustrated, and rushed over to knock his sister's head. "Don't scare people like THAT!"
"Onii-chan!! I thought. I got lost. so. then I found this house. saw there was a fire."
"Why didn't you knock then?!" Goku yelled
"Stupid!" Ririn yelled back, "Do you think I'll be heard in the storm?!?!" Hakkai sighs, and smiled, "Okay everyone. let's just sit down next to the fire."
Once again everybody was seated around the fire. They noticed that the storm had slightly calmed down; at least the lightning was gone. They were all silent, and then something was heard.
"W- what was that?" Gojyo asked, looking around with wide eyes.
"It's me. I'M SOOOO HUNGRY!!!" Goku moaned, looking around, trying desperately to find something to eat.
Sanzo snorted, "Hmph, greedy kids gets into trouble."
"I guess. I once heard about a psycho on the loose in Nii's radio in the lab." Kougaiji sighs, leaning back against the wall. "I don't think they ever caught him." he shrugged.
"A psycho, huh?"
"Yeah, he could still be on the loose. you'd better be careful, Goku." Kougaiji said, smiling eerily,
"Why?" Goku gulped.
"He targets kids, especially. I'm not worried about Ririn, she's not allowed to go out of the castle anyway, besides."
"Yes. it's my job to chase after Ririn-sama when she's on the loose." Yaone continued, Ririn shrugged in the background.
Kougaiji smiled, "Besides, I don't think the psycho would go for a youkai. especially the daughter of Gyumao."
"You mean she's scary enough to scare the psycho." Goku sniggered.
Ririn glared at him, "HA! He just doesn't have guts." She exclaimed energetically.
"Be quiet." Kougaiji said wearily.
"Yeah, and Goku has his trusting personality too." Hakkai nodded.
"You mean foolishness." Sanzo muttered.
"What if the psycho comes here?" Gojyo joked. He sweatdropped as everybody stared at him. "I said 'what if', come on."
"Could happen." Kougaiji said thoughtlessly, but leaning intently. "You know how you'll know if it's the psycho?"
"Kougaiji-sama!"
"Calm down, Yaone." He smiled, and then turned to Goku. "He's pretty polite, you know. first, he knocks. Like, if you ask who's at the door, he won't answer, he'll just knock even more."
Goku gulped, and Gojyo's jaw dropped open.
"Then, he'll try to look through the window. by that time, you should have fled. See, he'll kick open the door, and look around for you. he has a big sword as his best friend." Kougaiji added, smiling happily, and nearly scaring Goku enough to wet his pants.
"Ne, onii-chan, how did you know all this?" Ririn asked him curiously.
Kougaiji shrugged, "I think Nii recorded it. I was doing something at the lab when it was announced."
"Actually. I saw it on the shelf in the records room. in Dr. Nii's special collection." Yaone sweatdropped.
"At first, I thought it was kind of absurd. but you know how it changed my mind just now?" he directed the question to Goku.
"How?" Goku asked in a tiny voice.
"He strikes on stormy nights." Kougaiji answered in a low voice. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. They stared at it, transfixed. "N- no way. when I heard about it. that was about two years ago!" Kougaiji said dazed.
The knocking continued. They gasped as a faint silhouette was seen behind the dusty window. Then, the door flew open once again. It was a figure, holding something that was gleaming. Sanzo started shooting his gun like a madman, confusion followed of course.
Kougaiji was chanting his favorite demon spell. The figure dropped his weapon as the black ball in front of Kougaiji grew. To everybody's surprise, the 'lunatic' spoke in a startled voice, "Kou! Oi... W- wait..."
"Huh?"
"It's me..." he said.
"Dokugakuji!"
"Who else?" he shook his head, "What? You thought I was a serial killer or something??"
"Uh..."
* LATER... meaning the next morning...*
The storm had already cleared. Kougaiji's group went back to Tenjiku (to Houtou castle to be exact...) and received a long lecture from Gyokumen Koushu for getting lost and not taking the sutra from Sanzo and not finishing them off... the usual things that Kougaiji hates...
Sanzo's party was back on track. Goku was quiet as Gojyo was complaining, as usual.
"Why so quiet, huh SARU?" Gojyo asked, as he turned to Goku and knocked his head. Goku shook his head, but he didn't say anything. Gojyo turned to Hakkai instead, "Do you think we scared him too much?"
"Hmm... I don't know..." Hakkai answered, "Goku? What do you say we go to a restaurant when we get to a town?"
Goku's head snapped up, and he has is usual grin, "YAY!! FOOD!!"
The other three sweatdropped. "Saru's back."Gojyo shook his head in disbelief.
