Chapter 11
Kanzeon Bosatsu's POV
I am currently witnessing the event that will probably be the turning point of Goku's life. How could I tell you ask? For one, I had done this, witnessing - in my point of view the real work of gods are, as a favorite past time. And Goku as well as the rest of the ikkou are my favorite people to spy on.
I have seen him evolve from an immature, adorable and naïve saru to a dependable, mature young man. I sniffed at a lily and viewed the pond more closely. As of the moment, Sanzo had finally killed the love crazed Kagami. But I'm afraid it is not yet over. Not by a long shot.
"Goku." Sanzo whispered as he drew nearer to the Seiten Taisen Son Goku. He can't believe that the saru had actually been in his youkai form and he can still control himself. Normally, Goku was always a berserk and war-happy youkai.
Sanzo held his arms to invite Goku in a hug. Goku happily leapt into them but failed to do so as the room emitted a thick fog. Temporarily blinded, Goku fell back and looked around, his eyes glowing and his body tensing up. Sanzo on the other hand, had frozen on his spot as he saw opposite him, directly at the middle of them both, a crystal ball showing Hakkai and Gojyo.
Hakkai and Gojyo were up on bronze cages, large enough for one man to stand in, and their wrists and ankles bound. Gojyo was completely knocked out; he was squished sideways in an unnatural position in the cage. He had a large, nasty bruise on his stomach and a black eye. Hakkai on the other hand, was barely standing up. It was obvious that he was kind of dizzy as he sways in his own cage from time to time. They were pitiful.
Sanzo and Goku gasped simultaneously. Sanzo felt like fainting again but held ground as he wanted to be strong for Goku and for Hakkai and Gojyo as well. He opted for wiping his sweaty brows with his clammy palms. Sanzo looked at Goku, only to see his lover snarling with frustration at their friend's situation. His forehead creased with anger as Shien and Zenon appeared at the two's side and grinned maliciously at them. It was like they know that Sanzo and Goku were watching their every move. Goku hissed in rage and whirled around.
"Homura! You bastard! Tell your loyal servants to back off!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, as he absolutely doesn't have any idea on where Homura could be. Homura appeared in front of him.
"No can do, Son Goku. I promised them entertainment and exercise. They haven't been so happy in the longest time." Homura said softly as he reached out to touch Goku. Goku slapped his hands away and Homura laughed.
"Shien, Zenon! Finish them." He ordered. Zenon saluted at the crystal ball.
"Aye, aye!" He reaches for his gun and loaded it with bullets in a torturingly slow pace. One by one he puts the bullet. And each time he had loaded one, he would stop and take a long drag from his cigarette. Each time getting more and more slow.
Shien on the other hand, whipped a cup of oolong tea in the air and was now drinking it appreciatively. He was keeping watch on Hakkai and Gojyo, which of course don't need watching, as they were completely sealed in those bronze cages, which I assumed to be youkai repellant.
Back at the basement, Goku launches at Homura his fists poised in front of him, ready to give him a beating. As he was about to reach him, Homura disappeared in the thick fog. Goku landed hard on his feet, hissing as he did so.
"You son of a bitch! Come down here and fight me!" He yelled yet again at the empty, foggy room.
"Why? So then you could beat me up? No way, Son Goku! Now suffer the feeling of helplessness! Suffer the feelings I have to put up with! Share what I feel!" Homura answered back, laughing madly as he finished his even more mad mantra. Goku trashed around the place, completely angry at Homura.
Sanzo looked at the crystal ball. He was familiar with guns and he knew that Zenon is almost finished. They had to do something now, or else they may not be able to save Hakkai and Gojyo. There was only one thing left to do.
"Goku! Stop bitching! We had the find the exit!" Sanzo yelled as he began to move around the place. He knew that the door had to be on the left, he was after all, locked up in that place for about two weeks. He reached out in front of him, to where he calculated the door could be, but reaches for air instead.
"What the fuck...?"
"Sanzo? Are we out of here?" Goku asked from behind him, his brows knitted in confusion. Homura laughed yet again at the background.
"Oh, sorry! Forgot to tell you. We're not at Kagami's basement anymore."
"What do you mean?" Sanzo asks angrily. They had no time left and here he was wasting time asking someone who wouldn't tell them anyway.
"I mean..... I've put you somewhere not on this earth... Can't you tell..?" Homura said mockingly. Sanzo opened his mouth to unleash a tongue lashing retort when Goku touched his arm affectionately.
"What saru?"
"It's no use. He's right we're not anywhere that's existing." He explained as his eyes, took a deeper shade. I don't know what the saru is thinking but it must be something good. He is a young man full of surprises after all.
"What do you mean? You know where we are?" Sanzo asks as he looks at the crystal ball, checking on Zenon. One more bullet to go.
"He put us on an alternate universe. Something he created."
"How about Hakkai and Gojyo?! Zenon's almost finished!" Sanzo asks getting irritated and impatient.
"Don't worry; I think I may be able to help them." Goku said as he sat down on the ground and closed his eyes. He put his hands together on his lap. He looks like he's doing the yoga or something. Sanzo kept quiet and just trusted the boy. He had after all, no other option but to have faith in Goku, because he himself doesn't have any other plan.
To my surprise, Goku started glowing gold again. But it's not glowing like crazy as it did not so long ago, when he fought Homura for the first time. I dropped the lily I was sniffing and almost dropped to my knees when I realized what Goku was intending to do.
"He can't be thinking.....!" But I was right. He was doing what I think he is.
Looking completely serene and warm because of the golden aura surrounding him, Goku started to concentrate his powers in to his hands and when enough sent them off. It circulated in the air, but this one was visible as it was of golden color. It reached to all corners of the earth and when they found out their target, formed into two tight, little golden mass of liquidized air.
Sanzo looked at the crystal ball disbelievingly.
"What did you just do?" He whispered to Goku as he still kept his eyes on the crystal ball.
"I've lent them some of my powers." He said simply.
"How did you know this? When did you learn something like this?" Sanzo asks the saru. Goku just shrugged and kept his head down.
"When I was in heaven, recuperating from the mess I made, I was asleep and dreaming. I dreamed that move. I saw someone needing my help but I can't reach him. Then a boy with long black hair told me to do what I just did." He said sheepishly as he raised his chin and looked at the crystal ball with full confidence. Sanzo blinked at Goku's statement. As much as he wanted to, he can't question Goku further as they had more pressing matters at hand.
I put a hand to cover my mouth. Goku can't be talking about.... He can't be. But there is only one person I know he could do that move. Only one person. I looked closely at the viewing pond again. I had more time to ponder about that later.
The two little golden mass of liquidized air zoomed about and landed on Hakkai and Gojyo's chests. Shien and Zenon were completely flabbergasted as the two began to heal their wounds. Gojyo awakened and was touching himself all over. It seems like he was startled to find himself alive. Hakkai on the other hand was flexing his hands as he broke them in the fight a while ago. A mere trace of a smile formed in his lips as they were completely healed and were perfectly back to normal.
"Oi! Hakkai! What's with you? You glowing gold!" Gojyo yelled as he noticed that Hakkai had the aura surrounding him.
"I feel much stronger than before too! Is it just me?" Gojyo asks yet again as he looks at his hands and gasps. He was glowing gold too.
"I don't know what's happening.... But I know one person who has this aura color." Hakkai responded, he formed a ki ball in his hands and launched it at the cage's door. It busted and he was out in no time. Hakkai smiled and looked up to Gojyo.
"Yup. It's not just you. I think someone lent us some power to fight back." Hakkai yelled to Gojyo.
"Oi! Let me test you!" Shien said as he launched at Hakkai, his whips cracking in the air. Hakkai sidestepped it with no trouble whatsoever. He had increased speed too. Shien landed way on the other side as he was charging with full force and hit no one. He stopped, seething at Hakkai.
"My, have I made you mad Shien?" Hakkai asks him, smiling. Gojyo on the meanwhile, called forth his shaku jou and lifted the lock of the cage' door immediately.
"I hate it when I'm forgotten." He said as he landed next to Hakkai.
"You're not forgotten!" Zenon roared as bore down upon Gojyo his heels aimed at Gojyo's chest. Gojyo caught Zenon's ankles and whacked him to the ground with a loud thud. Zenon jumped back his gun in front of him. Gojyo released the shaku jou's chain and caught Zenon's gun. He grabbed it from his weapon and destroyed it.
"We're even now, god." Gojyo said sarcastically as he launched himself his fists ready to strike. Zenon gave up quite a fight, but once Gojyo caught Zenon's jaw in a brutal and almost fatal kick, Zenon lost power and will. He continued to rain Zenon's face and stomach with punches and kicks, each time gaining more strength. Zenon staggered back and fall flat on his back.
Hakkai on the other hand launched to attack Shien. Shien protected himself with his whips, but as Goku did, Hakkai caught his whip, encircled it in his arms and pulled it from Shien. He broke it in one swift move. Hakkai concentrated his powers at his finger tips as he crushed the whip. It broke into tiny shards. But Hakkai lifted up his palms and the then tiny shards glowed green and gold randomly. Instead of falling to the ground, it directed itself on Shien's direction. Shien received the shards with no protection whatsoever. He did not anticipate that move.
Hakkai reached down and grasped a handful of Shien's hair. He knew that he had to eliminate him or else they would just come back again. He pulled with all his might and lassoed Shien in the air. He let go after a he ahd circled him a couple of times. Shien landed heavily beside Zenon.
"All done." Gojyo said us he looked down disgustingly at the two gods.
"Not yet Gojyo. We don't want them ruining our journey anymore right?"
"Right! I think we had to give them the most exciting ending ever." Gojyo said as he wiggled his eyebrows about. He looked at the crystal ball and winked at Sanzo and Goku who had been watching the whole time.
"Watch this! This is dedicated to the one and only saru and to the corrupt monk!" Gojyo yelled as he launched his shaku jou and tied the two together using the shaku jou's chains. He tugged at it and it emitted electricity. The two shook and writhed and then calmed down.
"How did you do that?" Hakkai asked Gojyo as he brought his hands together and concentrated all the powers he had left to eliminate the two in one major blow.
"Excess powers! Hehehehe.... Well I think it's time to learn new tricks ne?" Gojyo said as he winked at Hakkai. Hakkai laughed softly.
"Sayonara, Shien, Zenon." Gojyo said as he released the shaku jou's hold, the same time Hakkai released his ki ball. The ki ball engulfed Shien and Zenon completely. They turned to ashes before the collapsed to the ground.
"How's that monk?! Nyahahhaha...." Gojyo laughed as he looked at the crystal ball again. His laugh died in his throat as it shows Goku, Sanzo and Homura in a face off.
"My, god! Homura's still alive!" Hakkai said as his hand flew to his mouth.
"What do you mean, oh my god? Goku creamed him last time." Gojyo said confident at Goku's strength.
"Don't you get it? The golden aura was Goku's! He lent us his power." Gojyo knitted his brows together. Then his eyes went wide as realization struck him.
"You don't mean?" Hakkai merely nodded.
"He used up his strength already." They looked at the crystal ball forlornly as they witnessed Homura turning purple with rage. He roared at Goku and Sanzo his spit spraying them.
"You ruined my plan again Son Goku!!! You ruined it! And you cost me my servants!" Homura raged as he reappeared at their side. Sanzo smirked.
"Calm down Homura. Were getting kind of wet." Goku snickered and made a little umbrella gesture. Homura's face contorted with rage.
"Why you!" He whipped his hands in the air and produced a golden cage. It looked like Hakkai and Gojyo's earlier only it was gold. Sanzo made a move to get close to Goku as he had an idea what the god may be thinking but he was too late. The golden cage glowed and like a magnet it sucked Goku right in.
"Liked it?" Homura asked as he gets closer to the cage. Sanzo hissed as he moved closer too. Goku on the other hand trashed around and tried to break free. All to no avail.
"Oh, yes indeed. You can't get out. It's especially made for you. The metal is made with the essence of the earth. Just like you are, Goku. Make one move and it'll just absorb it." Homura said as he fingered the metal lovingly.
"Release him!" Sanzo ordered. Homura looked at him as if he where crazy.
"Yeah right. And I'll roll over too." He rolled his eyes but advanced on Sanzo.
"Now love. I've been wondering why you still have your memories with you. Last time was such an effort. But this time, no strain at all whatsoever...." Homura said as he stopped raising a hand to his chin, thinking. He shrugged his shoulders.
"No matter. Love, watch as I kill your beloved little priest. Hold on tight, for an amazing show." Homura said as he launched at Sanzo, Sanzo ducked and his behind the fog. Outside, Hakkai and Gojyo can't find a way to get in. They were forced to helplessly watch Sanzo hiding and Goku looking harried in his cage. Homura stopped to look at the crystal ball.
"Oh, I almost forgot. I'll get you two for killing Shien and Zenon! Wait for me as I finish your beloved little priest!!!"
This is getting out of hand. I told myself, as the scene unfolds. But Homura struck something there, when he said Goku had not strained himself with the memory bit. Last time he barely had the strength to talk back and he had almost lost himself. Now he had smiled, grinned and made a joke. What the hell is going on?
I bit back a cry of surprise as I heard a growl behind me. I whirled around. No one was behind me. Except Nataku who is still unmoving in his throne. My hand flew to my mouth as I looked at Nataku closer.
I ran to his side. I can't be mistaken. I've always studied him and looked at him for hours. Something is wrong with him. And I'm definitely sure of it. Nataku moved. And he was the one who growled.
