CHAPTER 5: Turning Point
Elee shook her head miserably as she battled against the voice inside her brain. "Your destiny is the death of all". What the hell does that mean? It sounds like some quote from a demonic book or something. But the pain's still there. She cried for help but nobody came. A tear fell & then everything went dark.
***
Sanzo gulped hard as he saw Eli float in the air. He looked at Hakkai and saw the dread in his eyes. Hakkai noticed him and asked in a low voice, "An attack." Sanzo shook his head. He knew they would eventually make a move, but he didn't expect it to be that soon. "Hakkai, you know what to do?"
Hakkai grinned, "Of course."
Suddenly, an irritated voice rose up, "Damn it! Can somebody f****** tell me what's happening here!." Goku backed him up with his 'If-you-won't-tell-me-then-I'll-go-ape-and-you-won't-like-it-one-bit' look. Hakkai sighed and faced them, "Could this wait?"
Gojyo looked at him seriously, "We ain't here for nothing, you know."
Sanzo bursted, "And we ain't here for nothing, too." He signaled something to Hakkai and the latter raised his hands. "We can't let you see this, not yet."
And then, there was a blinding light.
***
Eli felt so cold. Everything's so dark. It's so scary. And just like an answer to her prayers, a dim light appeared out of nowhere. She looked at it and tried to reach it with her hands. So warm. And so she walked towards it. She didn't care if it was a trap or whatever. All she knows is that she's really cold right now. Really cold.
She walked for a couple of minutes and just as she was about to give up, the light grew so big that in no time, it surrounded her. The next thing she knew, she was in a meadow, seated on a bench. She noticed that the place was covered in flowers and everywhere, butterflies flew freely.
Then a familiar voice, "Here already?"
***
"Help!"
Sanzo turned only to see the kid gasping for help. Eli was holding his throat and gripping it really hard. Blood started to gush out from his neck.
"No!" Hakkai shouted seeing the kid suffering. He called Sanzo and stopped as he saw him look at Eli.
This isn't her. Sanzo could feel something really wrong. He looked at Eli's eyes and grinned. Gray eyes huh? he pointed his gun at Eli and demanded, "Let go of the kid you freakish creature of nature." Hakkai smiled and turned to Eli, "Or you'll get it."
An inhuman laugh. Eli looked at them sharply and threw Genjo's limped body away. She wore a scary smile that looked like she was about to throw up and laugh at the same time. "And who are you to tell me what to do?"
Sanzo fired the gun aiming just inches away from her head. "Oh, just some folks trying to stop you." Hakkai added, "Such a coward. Hurting a helpless boy like that when you should be trying to kick our asses."
Eli grinned menacingly, "Die you infidels!" She attacked them and so they fought.
***
"Kamatayan."
Kamatayan smiled still not looking at her, "So glad you remembered me. What are you doing here?"
Eli looked down, "I don't know."
"Shouldn't you be staying somewhere else? I remembered we had a deal of some sort."
Eli answered picking up a blade of grass, "I don't know what happened, I just felt an excruciating pain and poof! I'm here."
Kamatayan giggled, "And you still manage to joke about it."
"Who said I was joking?"
Kamatayan sighed & informed, "Well, I think it's best for you to get your ass back there & save your Guide."
Eli looked at her, alarmed, "My Guide?"
Kamtayan yawned, "You didn't know? He's being attacked by a crazy lunatic right now."
"Who?!" Damn it, she must save Genjo.
Kamatayan laughed briefly, "I forgot how bothersome you are. He's called the puppeteer. Stupid nick if you ask me."
Eli looked everywhere trying to find a way out. Somebody needs her right now, somebody actually needs her right now. She's not stupid, she knows she can't do much for Genjo but she's got to do something at least. If she would loose him, then her destiny wouldn't be fulfilled & she'll be stuck in that world forever! The thought struck her & made her shiver.
"Go beyond that tree in the right."
Eli nodded but before she went, she asked Kamatayan one more thing, "Is my guide supposed to be young? Ok, no offense but how the can a child help me?"
Kamatayan finally looked at her, "How the hell am I supposed to know that?" She chuckled & shook her head, "And I don't think he considers himself a child, Eli. Now shoo!"
Eli replied, "Yeah, I know that." and she disappeared.
Kamatayan smiled. She's going to undergo some major hell...& only the guide can help her.
***
Sanzo spit out blood & wiped his mouth with the back of his hands. He watched Hakkai being pummeled by a possessed teenage girl. If only he could laugh. He loaded his gun & aimed one more time. But then, he sensed something.
Suddenly, 'Eli' twisted herself in pain. Her face showed that of pure terror. She backed off & began to slam her head on a cherry tree that looked like it was about to wilt. Hakkai looked at Sanzo & together they aimed towards the back of a tree. There was a brief shout.
Sanzo rushed at Eli's side & held her trying to stop her violent actions. She began to push him & kick him & punch him but Sanzo held his ground. "Damn it, return now!"
And Eli steadied.
Hakkai neared them & asked, "Are you all right?" Sanzo nodded & let go of Eli. Eli shook her head & looked at them, "Who-who are you?"
Just then a loud cry sounded. They turned to the source & saw Genjo being held by a nasty looking man.
"Genjo!" Eli scrambled to her feet & came to a halt as she looked at the man who held Genjo. "Ka...Kazuka?"
Kazuka grinned & produced a knife from somewhere. He placed it beside the kid's throat. "I guess I failed, Eleezyienne. But not to worry, I'll succeed in hurting you anyhow." He looked at Genjo & smiled.
Genjo was crying, "Kazu...no."
Kazuka laughed, "Too bad..." He smiled at him, "Sorry bro."
And then he stabbed his own brother in the chest & let go of him. Genjo fell down & slammed on the ground. Kazuka grinned & eventually stabbed himself.
Sanzo looked at the dying man disgustingly. Hakkai lowered his head.
"NO!!!!" Eli rushed at Genjo's side & hurriedly covered his wound with a part of her dress she had ripped. Genjo smiled at her.
Sanzo & Hakkai came to them. Hakkai placed his hands beside the wound & tried to close it. He knew the kid was a goner but at least...
Eli held Genjo's hand tightly, "Don't die. Damn it, Don't die." Eli have never cried so hard before. Not in her lifetime. This can't be happening, how fast those crucial moments went. "Genjo, please."
Genjo smiled at her. Eli knew it was his last smile. He spoke in great pain, "I-I have something to tell you..."
She leaned closer to his head. And he kissed her in the cheek.

eleezyienne: Well, I really wanted the kid to die anyway. That's how Mary Sues go right? Hehe! I'm off to write Chapter 6!
