Love Potion no.9
Chapter 5
Suddenly their attention was drawn to the creaking door. The door was pushed open, revealing a figure stood before it. The ikkou jaw dropped at seeing the figure. Hakkai smiled proudly.
There was Aiko, standing with grace and splendor looks before the door. She's no longer Aiko that they had known before. Aiko was now indeed a young lady with gorgeous and eye-catching appearance. The curves that were hidden beneath her vest and shabby pants before were now displayed in a very appealing manner. Now, she's standing in front of the ikkou in a body of a well-built lady of twenty. Her face no longer plain, instead it was beautifully touched up; yet it's still naturally looked. The raven black hair was plaited and was let to hang loosely on her slender shoulder. Swirling locks bounced at each side of her face.
Despite of the beauty that shone upon her figure, a pale color suddenly emerged on her fair face. Her rounded eyes fixed on the ikkou with fret and then her lips moved as she uttered something, almost stuttering.
"Na-nan…nanda?" she stood there like a statue, dumbfounded by the men's stares. They almost looked like as if they wanted to gulp her down to their throats. Aiko felt like shrinking into a chibi form and tiptoed away at seeing the piercing glares cast by the ikkou.
The ikkou didn't respond to her and kept staring at her with their jaws dropped. Aiko started panicking. "Minna-san!!" she called out, almost screaming her lungs out. Her face flushed red with embarrassment.
Hakkai, Sanzo, Gojyo and Goku retreated their hanging jaws and coughed alarmingly. Sanzo turned his face the other way around to hide his blushing face. Hakkai smiled nervously as he uttered his typical "Yare yare desune" and brushed the back of his head.
Goku, on the other hand, rushed over to Aiko and halted right before her. He looked up to her and gaped to her face. "Kawaii…" he complimented. He kept staring at Aiko with a wide opened mouth. Aiko blushed viciously at that compliment.
"Anou…" she ended up chuckling edgily, not knowing what to say. "Arigatou" that's the only word she could think of returning the kid's courtesy of a very sincere compliment.
"I'm feeling horny right now… would you please kiss me?" Out of the blue, a red haired head popped out from behind her head and almost touched her face by merely of an inch. Aiko jumped away at instant and stared at Gojyo; the man that appeared all of a sudden from behind her, and sweat dropped. She felt like she could die of shock.
"Tem…teme! Kono hentai ero kappa… red headed gokiburi…echi…yaoi… get away from me!" she stuttered furiously and her cheeks were crimson colored. Her fingers almost gleamed with the familiar pink beams that she would without doubt released it if the kappa would ever think of kissing her.
Gojyo smirked devilishly. He crossed his arms behind his head and walked toward the trembling Aiko. The poor girl backed away a few steps; the beam had grown bigger at each step Gojyo had taken. 'She will release it anytime now'
"Ahem!" Out of a sudden, Hakkai appeared from nowhere and stood in between the retreating Aiko and the advancing Gojyo. Gojyo gawped, for the last thing he saw was Hakkai's devilish smile and the next thing he remembered is seeing tiny stars that danced before his eyes as Hakkai's fist punched him right on his face.
"Ittai…" Gojyo moaned as he staggered aimlessly around the room. 'It's a big mistake to seduce Aiko when Hakkai's around'.
"Gomen Gojyo… but I could not stand seeing a beautiful lady such as you seducing another lady" the dark haired youkai smiled cynically, making the girl behind him chuckled in amusement. Goku laughed hysterically at the remark.
"Served you right ero kappa" Goku laughed at Gojyo's face and ended up receiving a brutal bash on his head from Gojyo's hard fist.
Aiko breathed out with relief. The pink beam fast disappeared.
"Gomen…" Hakkai turned around. His sudden movement made his shoulder knocked the girl's arm and his weight pushed her to stumble backward. Aiko flailed her arms frantically and he grabbed it with alarm.
"Sumimasen" Hakkai chuckled nervously as Aiko stared at him with her sweats dropped. She slapped her head with disbelief. 'This guy always knocked me down every time he turned around… wonder how long this would last?'
Aiko sighed out a deep breath and looked around the room.
"Is everyone ready?" she asked. A sweet menacing smile appeared on her peachy lips as her sapphire blue eyes came in contact with the sight of Sanzo in her girly outfit. 'That monk really was something'
"Ma…ma… Sanzo-nii-chan, you look gorgeous" Aiko said in a sneer. Her compliment made Hakkai sweat dropped. 'This girl is looking for trouble'. "May be you should think over the idea of replacing your outdated robe with a gown instead" Aiko added as she winked at the monk.
Hakkai stumbled head over heels at the remark. 'She's dead for sure!'
An extra big vein popped out on Sanzo's forehead. His ears turned red in color. His head blew off hot steams. He turned around and sent Aiko a death pierced glare.
"One…two…" Aiko counted silently. She stepped out from her last standing position and "Three!!" she avoided the harisen that dashed toward her by leaping out immediately. She bumped into Hakkai and together they fell onto the floor.
The flying harisen, which had missed its target, knocked another target, Gojyo's head. An alarming yelp escaped the kappa's mouth as the harisen made contact with his forehead. "Ittai…" he rubbed the aching spot. "Oi Aiko! Why in the world you pissed that namaguza bouzu off with your stupid joke?!" Gojyo cried and looked up to Aiko, or may be looked down.
The girl now was on top of Hakkai, who lied motionless on the floor. Both of the brunettes stared at each other's faces and fell dumb. 'Okay! Two dark haired ladies hugging each other on the floor, that's quite a sight on a fair morning'
Gojyo coughed with warning. Both of the brunettes were shocked. They disengaged abruptly and blushed at seeing the sneer on each face of the rest of the ikkou. The pair bowed to each other and turned around in different ways.
Gojyo rolled his eyes and shook his head in disbelief. 'Stupid lovebirds…'. "Will you two stop jumping back from each other and blush?" he exclaimed. "I'm going crazy with your shyness…hai hai" the kappa turned around and left the room. 'Hakkai… oh man! You're indeed a lucky man'
"Ch!" Sanzo shook his head and turned around. He looked through the wide opened window and his lips curled slightly in a rare flicker of amuse. He's no expert in lovemaking, but he agreed with Gojyo. That pair really was weird.
Aiko went to the door. She's still blushing. "We'll be going after breakfast" she muttered as she walked out of the room, without turning back to the insiders.
Hakkai stood silent as he watched Aiko walked away. Bit by bit, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Goku looked at Sanzo and then turned his gaze at Hakkai. Next, he turned at the fast disappearing Aiko and retreated his gaze back at the two men. Lastly, he shook his head frantically. 'Huh! Adult's love is such a complicated thing!' he grunted. 'And yet…it could not be eaten'
************************
Gojyo turned the doorknob and pushed the door gently, trying to avoid an ear-sore by the creaking sound. He stepped into the room and walked in a silent gait toward the bed. The red haired man opened the curtain that veiled the bed and towered over a sleeping figure on it.
He smiled at seeing the boy who snored quietly under the blanket as he curled up like a baby in his mom's cradle. The boy looked calm despite the trembles that shook his body slightly.
Gojyo put one hand on the boy's forehead. The heat burned his palm and wretched his face. He rubbed the sweaty forehead and caressed the young hanyou's head. Suddenly, the red orbs beneath the sweaty forehead were popped opened. A thin smile flickered upon the pale blue lips.
"Oi kappa…" was the address that escaped the trembling lips. Gojyo allowed a reassuring smile to emerge on his face as he looked down to Kazo. "You look pretty beautiful for a female kappa…" the boy teased him as he curled up a fist and stabbed Gojyo's side.
Gojyo frowned and poked the kid's head with one fist, more in a playful manner than anger. A smile flickered upon his face when the boy lying on the bed smiled in glee and later shoved his hand away. Kazo produced a harsh cough then, making the elder hanyou panicked.
Kazo smiled weakly as he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. He studied Gojyo's worried face with amuse. The red haired boy chuckled slightly and again coughed out hard.
"Kazo?!" Gojyo sank to Kazo's bedside and aided the boy's pain by rubbing his chest.
Kazo smacked Gojyo's hand away, refused to have so much affection. "Oi kappa! Take it easy… I'm not going to die" he said in a mocking tone. 'At least I'm not going to die in these few days…'
"Baka…" Gojyo mumbled to himself. "Oi kiddo! Don't act as if you're so strong… now you are no more stronger than any of the youkai I had fought before" the redheaded returned the mocking as he brushed the lock that stuck out from his well-combed hair. As soon as his hand made contact with the butterfly-shaped pins, Gojyo snarled with irritation.
Kazo smiled at seeing Gojyo's reaction and after a moment his smile changed into a frown. He sighed deeply and looked away from Gojyo's face. "You know Gojyo…" he whispered slightly, enough for the kappa to hear. Kazo let out another deep sigh and uttered, "You don't have to do this… disguising as a woman and scratching your own ego just to save me"
Gojyo's eyes narrowed and his face showed sympathy. He turned his back to Kazo and anchored his chin on his hands. The kappa stared at the empty wall before him with an empty glare.
"You know what Kazo? This is your fault…" Gojyo said, still his back facing Kazo. From behind him, the redheaded man could hear the boy's sobs, faint and slight. A thin smile was drawn upon his lips and later changed into a devilish smirk. "This is all your fault so don't you dare try to escape by dying!" Gojyo turned around abruptly and ruffled the kid's drenched hair.
The sob ceased immediately at hearing the remark.
"You have to wait for us to return with the antidote because you owed me a hard poke on your head for troubling me with this dress-up" Gojyo rose from the bed and crossed both of his arms behind his head. "So… don't even think of dying so that you can't get away from your debt" he winked and instantly walked away from the bed.
Gojyo whistled as he opened the door. But before he could even step out, Kazo called out for him. The hanyou turned his face the other way around and arched one red brow.
"Nanda?"
"I'll wait for you but no way I'm going to let you poke my head…" the boy stuck his tongue out and laid on his side, facing the wall with Gojyo at his back. "Now… go away and don't come back without the antidote" he added as he waved one hand, signaling the latter to go away.
"Mou yarou…!" Gojyo grunted. After a moment he smiled and softly closed the door of the room.
"Gambatte…" a soft hiss escaped from Kazo's mouth as he closed his eyes and fell into a deepest slumber. From somewhere in his restless sleep, he fought the pain over and over; not willing to lose, not with the ikkou risking their life to get the cure.
***************************
Gojyo grunted heavily and leant his back against the jeep. He crossed his arms behind his head and looked up to the sky. The wind brushed his face soft and tender. His skirt flailed aimlessly, revealing long slender legs. When they reached a rocky road, the jeep bumped up and down and shook violently, and he would end up struggling really hard to keep his breasts' pad at its place.
The redheaded hanyou looked at his torso, now with a pair of fake boops protruding instead of a flat chest that was once a place where all girls had leant their heads. He murmured with disgust and cursed silently.
"Wonder how the girls you'd slept with would react if they ever see you in this woman form"
Gojyo lifted his head and sent the owner of the voice an enraged glare. The girl supported her chin on her palm and propped her arms on her knees as she bent forward, looking at his face. A sweet devilish-liked smile was displayed on her face. Gojyo's eyes narrowed and the girl retreated her eyes by turning away and whistled in glee.
"Baka!" Gojyo cursed in between his breath. He turned to look at the driver. "Oi Hakkai! When are we going to reach that stupid damn town of morons?" Gojyo scratched his itchy shoulder, which was caused by the bra's straps that prodded continuously with his skin as he moved.
Aiko guffawed. "May be I should have bought strapless bra for you instead ero kappa" she covered her mouth as she laughed heartily.
Gojyo swayed his fist before the girl's face, annoyed at the mocking.
"Yare yare… we'll be there in an hour or so" Hakkai answered. They had been driving for half an hour right now and everyone on board were getting rather impatient and comfortless. However it was amazing that Goku was able to sleep soundly during the whole journey.
Aiko gazed at the sleeping boy and smiled. 'Goku… the one that can see beyond the invisibles… wonder who gave him that name?'. Aiko remembered something and sweat dropped. "Ma…ma…minna-san, we've forgotten to give you a girl's name" she reminded.
"Can we skip that matter and bring it out later?" Gojyo was not fond of discussing anything about his new appearance.
"Until the townsfolk ask your name and you accidentally mentioned the so-called name Gojyo in the open and revealed your true manly identity?" Aiko asked, rather cynical. Gojyo returned her farce remark with a snarl. The girl made sense but there's no way he would admit that.
"Yare yare… you're right Aiko, what do you think Sanzo? Shall we have a girl's name instead of our names right now?" Hakkai looked at the dumb monk next to him from the corner of his eyes. 'Arara…I can help myself not to stare at him'. Hakkai quietly retreated his gaze with a slight flush of red on his face.
The sunshine gold hair flailed softly at being brushed by the darting wind. His distorting face looked radiant under the gleaming of the sun. With tiny beads of sweat on his forehead that glinted brilliantly, he almost resembled out some beautiful Goddess that everyone kept imagining in his or her head and he seemed to look sunny himself. The most outstanding part of his beauty was indeed the pair of violet eyes that gleamed gloriously even though it seemed to show nothing.
Aiko chuckled slightly at realizing Hakkai's reaction when he turned to look at Sanzo. She had to admit it, if she didn't know the ikkou better, she will think that Sanzo was really a woman; the most beautiful woman she ever saw.
The sapphire-eyed girl looked around in the fast moving jeep. A flicker of joy flashed upon her delicate face. Now she was on board with three beautiful women and a kawaii girl and it was not much to say that she felt like she's traveling with three older sisters and a younger sister. Aiko laughed quietly.
"WHACK!!!"
Somehow, out of nowhere, the paper fan protruded out from the monk's cardigan and bashed on her head. It connected hard with her skull that she was sent to stumble backward. Aiko rubbed her aching head and mumbled "Ittai…"
"Oi! What's that for?" Aiko looked up to Sanzo, now standing at the front seat, holding an oversized paper fan in his hand.
"Stop smiling with glee or you'll receive another bash like that" Sanzo warned as he glared at Aiko with the deadliest glare she ever saw.
"Kono baka namaguza bou… er… o-nee-chan…" she slipped that deadly word out of her mouth, making the towering blonde shook tremendously with fume. Veins popped here and there on his forehead as his face flushed crimson red and his lips clamped tightly shut. Aiko cupped one palm before her mouth and bewildered at seeing the harisen was brought at fast lightning speed down to her head.
"TWHACK!!!" the harisen hit again and it sounded like it almost broke her skull into pieces. Aiko stumbled to the floor with her head spinning and her eyes spun crazily. "Ittai…" she murmured unconsciously.
Gojyo watched the scene with fret. He avoided making as much as noise as he could so not to make the monk gets more enraged. If Sanzo could hit Aiko, her long lost sister and friend, as brutal as that, it was no doubt he could kill him at instant. The redheaded cowered at one edge of the jeep; sweat dropping.
"Ma…ma…Sanzo, don't you think that was too hard for a girl?" Hakkai asked nervously.
"What's the problem if she's a girl? I'm a girl too" Sanzo replied with a devilish smirk flashed upon his lips. His eyes that showed nothing a moment ago had shone with the fire of devil that blazed furiously. 'A girl they want me to be… a bitchy girl I'm going to be'
Hakkai sweat dropped. Now he could not say anything. It's not fair for a man to hit a girl that hard but now Sanzo was equally a woman to Aiko, and a girl hitting another girl was common.
"Ch!" Aiko had regained her consciousness and she pushed herself upward, rubbing her head and staring at the blonde monk with a pout. 'I'm going to make you pay these some fine days… baka o-nii-chan'
"Well… back to the name thing" Hakkai kept his eyes fixed on the bumpy road and tried avoiding as much bumps as possible. "What name do you prefer Sanzo?" the dark-haired youkai glanced at Nimmiku. The little dragon flapped her wings frantically every time the jeep rocked. Even the passengers bobbed up and down helplessly every time the tires knocked with the bumps.
Sanzo didn't replied. 'How could he? He never knew any women's name before and how he supposed to come out with one'. He just produced a harsh humph and back to silence.
"Ah! I know… why don't you name yourself Flora? That's a good name" Gojyo advanced in between Sanzo and Hakkai. He turned to Sanzo, getting ready if the monk would ever bring out the harisen into view. But the monk didn't react a bit.
"Hai hai! That's a good name… sounds feminine" Hakkai complimented. "How do you come out with that name?" he asked.
Gojyo smirked. He retreated to his seat and stretched his arms, yawning noisily as he did so. "Ah…it's a name of the girl I've slept with at the last town we've stopped" he said. "That girl has nice butts and she rocked" there he goes, Gojyo and his hentai self.
Hakkai and Aiko's sweat dropped.
"You're a dead meat kappa" Aiko jeered at his face.
Gojyo gawped. He realized that he had uttered the forbidden remark. The hanyou turned his head toward the blonde who had his back facing him. The blonde's head seemed to blow off steams and his ears reddened. Almost in a fraction of a second, the harisen came into view and later was brought down onto his head.
"WHACK!!!" the paper fan connected with his head brutally, and it did not stopped there as it came down over and over.
"Omae wo kuruso!!! How dare you give me the name of the girl you had fuck…kono hentai ero kappa!!!!" Sanzo roared out loud. He stomped his feet on Gojyo's head and bashed the hanyou head continuously. "Do you think I'm your girl…?!!!"
The whacking session went on and on. Even Harkuryuu sent out a helpless coo, pleading the monk to stop since all those bashes caused the jeep to rock severely.
It took ten minutes for the whacking session to cease. Sanzo settled back to his seat and grunted. What was left at the backseat was Gojyo, who staggered aimlessly on his knee, clutching his spinning head with his arms; Aiko, who had being left bewildered at the scene with her mouth hung opened and her sweat dropped upon her white pale face; and Goku, who snored soundly on the seat.
Aiko's jaw dropped. 'That was twenty whacks counted altogether'. She shook her head with fret. She was indeed lucky that she's not the one to receive all those brutal and deadly strikes.
Gojyo was back to himself a moment later but not without severe bumps and bruises on his now beautiful face. Curses and swears escaped his beautifully curved lips, now were shaded with a pink sheen of lipstick.
"Gomen ne Sanzo… but the name Flora was kind of appealing and it suits you just fine" Hakkai gave out a sincere comment. Abruptly the monk turned his face toward him and shot him a deadly glare. Hakkai's sweat dropped and chuckled edgily. "Well… only if you're okay with it" he muttered scarcely.
Sanzo's amethyst eyes narrowed and then amazingly turned soothe. He turned his face to the front and snorted "Ch! Fine!" was the reply.
Hakkai sighed with relief. "Now it's your name Gojyo!" he chirped happily.
"Unh?" Gojyo was struck dumbfounded. He seemed to drown a moment ago with all the curses and Hakkai's chirp brought him back to the surface. "Nanda?" he asked, blankly.
"Kappa… the bumps on your head surely had knocked you out dumb" Aiko shook her head with disbelief.
"I know the right name for you…" Sanzo uttered. The edge of his lips curled up into a devilish smirk. "Betty Boops"
Aiko's brows arched with wonder. Why Betty Boops? She glanced at Gojyo and ended laughing heartily.
Gojyo's forehead twitched. He looked down to his chest and blushed furiously. He had the biggest breasts among all of them and he got his name from the size of it.
"K'so!" he cursed.
Hakkai's lips were drawn up into a slight curl. "Ma…ma… that will attract so much attention to Gojyo and I don't think we need that much attention Sanzo" he tried defending Gojyo but he could not help himself not to laugh slightly. 'Poor Gojyo'
"Ch! Fine! Make fun of me kono baka… I don't mind" Gojyo pouted. "At least any man who look at me right now would have their heart crushing on me" he said in a sneer.
Aiko, Hakkai and Sanzo sweat dropped. 'He's a girl now and yet he's still an ero kappa'
"Betty Boops was too much even though it's kind off suits you fine… Misa is okay" Aiko said as she coughed with alarm. Gojyo raised his shoulders as a sign of acceptance. Aiko turned to Hakkai. "What about you Hakkai? Do you have a name in your mind?"
Hakkai fell silent. He did have one. "Leona" the name came out at instant, flowing stream-liked from his mouth.
Aiko turned dumb at hearing the name. The name sounded like Leon, her long dead fiancé. She looked at Hakkai. The man's back was facing her. Aiko looked at the rear-view mirror and found Hakkai's image, his eyes fixed at her. The look in that man's eyes seemed to say something but Aiko couldn't make it out in one word.
"That's a good name" the compliment came out faint and slight. She heaved a deep breath and clapped her hand once. A wide smile returned to her face. "Now Goku's turn… anyone got any idea?" she asked as she turned her head frantically, looking at each of the elder 'girls'.
No one made a sound. Aiko shrugged. She looked at Goku. Now the boy looked even more kawaii in a girl look. "Yuyue…" the name slipped out of her mouth unintentionally.
Gojyo raised his brows and nodded in agreement. "That seems to fit" he said. Even Sanzo and Hakkai did not protest.
Aiko smiled.
"Liamm wanted a boy but I prefer a girl" Leya caressed her tummy, where a human being was forming inside.
Reika shook her head in amuse. She sat down next to Leya and sled an arm over her sister's shoulder. "Don't get too hasty… the pregnancy barely reached a couple of month" she said as she nuzzled Leya's cheek. The future-to-be mother was indeed happy to know that she was pregnant. Reika planted a loving kiss on her sister's cheek and smiled.
"Aka-chan will be a girl and I'm going to name her Yuyue" Leya whispered as she smiled soothingly at her tummy, down her breast. Reika smiled in glee.
Without her consent, a pearly drop ran down her cheek and she hastily wiped it away. 'Leya… I really wished aka-chan was born before you died so that you'll be able to make your wish come true' Deep inside she prayed silently for her dead sister and the unborn baby that died with her during the massacre.
Hakkai retreated his gaze. He's been staring at Aiko's image in the rear-view mirror and he noticed the girl's tear. The tear just tore his heart apart. 'Only if I knew'
"Oi! Wake up saru!!!" Gojyo nudged Goku's arm with his foot and turned the boy upright. The latter boy mumbled out something and turned on his side, and snored even louder than before. Gojyo fumed. He bent down and shook Goku's body furiously. "Yuyue!!! Wake up you lazy saru!!!" and he waited for the respond.
Goku's eyes popped opened. The half-opened golden orbs blinked with tears. "Nani? Who's Yuyue?" he asked with wonders. The itan rubbed his eyes with the back of his palm. He looked around and "Hata harahetta ne!!!" he cried out loud.
The elders' sweat dropped.
Gojyo's red brow twitched and a vein popped out on top of it. He curled up a fist and bobbed the itan's head.
"Ittai…" Goku moaned as he clutched his head with both arms. He kicked the hanyou's leg in return and the latter punched him straight on the face. The patterned fight of Goku-Gojyo occurred again. Hakkai and Aiko sighed. Now they're waiting for the harisen or the shoureijuu to make its appearance.
"One…two…three" Aiko counted silently. Her fingers moved deftly as she counted.
"URUSEI!!!"
Sanzo turned around and the shoureijuu blown off with the bullets dashed toward Gojyo and Goku. The silvery bullets missed them by mere of an inch. Aiko shook her head. She looked down to her fingers. Three fingers were down to her palm. The monk interfered into the fight just in time.
Gojyo and Goku waved out tiny white flags and scurried to their seats.
"Ma…ma…minna-san, we're almost there" Hakkai announced. The rest of the ikkou looked up to the horizon, where the sight of a town slowly emerged. Now the time for their greatest task was just a mile to come. Deep in the driver's heart, a silent pray was conveyed, not to God but more to the passengers on board. It was a prayer with hope that they would do just fine as women.
The jeep kept on moving to the horizon.
To be continue…
