Hey, everyone! Glad for ya sticking with me! It's really appreciated. I
guess the last chapter was a little too short for everyone's taste, ne?
Well, there's a special treat in this one. Anyone like blue eyes? Hm? Hm?
Oh, and before I forget (like I did last time. ^_^()) Goki is Goki05's
character. Ok, here's the Reviewer's Spot!
Youkai-Onna: Um, yeah.. Natsuko, huney, she's already dead.
Aleandra Alyra Sarienna: For some reason, my thing doesn't show that you reviewed.. *shrugs* I don't know why. I hope that I can help with your confusion as to what a Hanyou is: it's basically a half-demon. I don't know the literal translation, 'cause I never learned it in Japanese class. ^_^() Sorry that it was so short, but I wanted to update ASAP, and I had to type it all up to do that. Baka Koyasha!
Funkitated: One thing before talking. O_O That was a LONG review!!! Yep, I think you still get the title. *hands Funkitated a trophy* Well, who really knows how old Inu-Yasha was before being sealed to the God Tree.. As to what Goki did with the pearl, it's the one that is Inu-Taisho's grave. She put it in Inu-Yasha's eye. Poor Inu-chan.I think. ^_^() And, as to what the title has to do with the story: That...........is a secret! ;)
Golden Cheetah: Hey, a new reviewer! Thankies! I like Fluffy too.
Aleandra Alyra Sarienna: Again! Ok, well, um.. I'm hurrying with this one, but school just started for me, and I have homework already! AHHHH!!! Plus, I'm writing this one from scratch.. No excuse, I know.. .
Now, Onwards! **************************************************************************** *****
Last time: We met Goki, Inu-Taisho and Miredi/Chi-Chi died. (anyone crying over that?) And Gohan was actually off the tree!! Well, our favorite demi taught Ku Lohn some techniques, and they heard someone coming.
Starting with Goki - -
A lone figure with dog ears stood in the tall grass of a small clearing. She loved the feel of it under her bare feet and the scent of the forest was intoxicating. Until she picked up the smell of old blood. People had been killed here, and not buried. Her mother's scent was here as well, but it was much more faded than the metallic tang of blood. Slowly, she left the edge of the clearing, and came to a house.
It was still looking like it was inhabited, except for the eerie quiet. (hey, it's a capsule house. Who knows how long those last? Not me, that's for sure.) A small sign declared that the owners of this home were Son Goku and Son...Eighteen??? Goki blinked at the odd name and shrugged. Curious, she jiggled the handle on the door, and was surprised to find it open. Cautiously, she entered, ducking under a few cobwebs. What she saw in there made her want to retch.
The dining/living room would've been comforting..if it didn't have the skeletons of a young boy and a man - obviously his father - in the chairs by the table. Remains of what had been food in dishes still lay on the table. She backed out of the room, memories of the tales of ghosts she had heard in her youth.
She was still curious, however, and she went up the flight of stairs, peeking at the pictures that lined the walls. They showed a happy family, a man with a goofy smile, a young boy that looked to be his father's carbon copy, a teenaged boy that had old eyes, and a woman with blonde hair. She supposed this to be Eighteen, and the child was the boy's skeleton she had found. That meant the man was her father, Goku, and the youth must be her brother.
"Alright, I'm smelling monkeys.. I guess that means that whenever I smell a dog, that's the scent I'm looking for," she muttered to herself as she entered a room. Well, it wasn't a dog/monkey smell, it was two separate scents: monkey and human. The next had nearly the same results, only it was one person. The last room she entered, she found what she was looking for: her brother's room.
It was simple enough, Spartan furniture, some photographs and drawings on the walls, a desk. On the last thing, she found a journal that held the name of her older brother: Son Gohan. There was also a single photograph that caught her attention: a young boy standing in front of Goku and a woman. It took a few moments for Goki to realize, the woman was her mother in human guise!
"Alright, now I know my brother's scent. Now I just have to find where he is at this time."
"Perhaps I can help with that," a voice stated from the doorway behind her. Goki whirled around, shocked that this...human, by the looks of him, had been able to sneak up on her. Well, it was the most gorgeous human she had ever seen, by any means.
He had lilac hair that reached his shoulders, held back by a simple ponytail with a few strands escaping the binding. The sharpest blue eyes she had ever seen looked right back at her over a pointed nose and a small mouth. He also had some of the strangest clothes for this time period, having a haori (1) that had a confusing instrument on the front (2), baggy pants that were held up by a weird belt that had a buckle and tucked into odd boots, and a tight black tunic that tucked into the pants. A sword was strapped across his back, but it wasn't the katana that was so popular in this area.
(guess who? :P)
"Who are you?!" she snarled, ready to fight. (AN: remind you of someone?).
"Relax. I can tell that you aren't human, because, to be honest, neither am I. I am a half-Saiyan, half-human hybrid. My name is Briefs Trunks, and I am - was a friend, of your brother's."
"My name is Goki, daughter of Miredi. What is a.. . Sai-yan?"
"A Saiyan is an alien that looks like a human with a monkey tail and large appetites. We're extremely good at fighting. Now, do you want to know where Gohan is, or not?"
"You seem pretty anxious. Fine. Where is he, genius?"
A smirk characteristic of the youthful man's father appeared on Trunks' face. "Follow me. If you can."
Growling, Goki followed him outside, and fell on her face as he began flying. "What?! You expect me to FLY?!?!"
"You mean that you don't know how to? Jeez, this is turning out to be a bad day."
"And just what is THAT supposed to mean?!?!" she yelled at him, and then muttered, "Jerk."
He frowned down at her, grumbling under his breath, "I heard that." Then aloud, he said, "Well, focus your energy out through your feet. It may be the slow way, but I don't like to throw ladies off of cliffs."
"I'm not a lady!" she screamed at him as she started to float upwards. By the time she realized this, she was flying.
'I guess I could always just get her angry, ne? Baka Trunks!' the lilac-haired demi thought.
Once Goki was flying around like a little birdie, they got their little voyage under way. They were en route to China.
"Learn those techniques and teach them only to those who you can trust with your life, Ku Lohn. Do you understand?" he asked urgently, knowing what was going to happen.
"Yes, but.Can't you fight them?"
"No. If I fight them I'll kill them." He sighed, and held his hand out to her.
Timidly, she took it, and he pulled her into a gentle hug. It definitely wasn't one of the patented Amazon Glomps, but it carried within it the weight of forbidden emotions. Hesitantly, they both pulled back, preparing for the other Amazons' arrival. It didn't take long for the bit - - oops, I mean, girls, to get there, either, led by the recent Head Matriarch.
"Ku Lohn! Stand away from that..that, DEMON!" the old leader ordered, pointing her staff at the two.
Gingerly, the young girl did so, head held high in pride. But, she only moved about a yard away.
The matriarch spoke again: "You, why did you brainwash our best fighter?!"
"I no more did that than you yourself bound me to that tree. But at least I don't punish you for others' mistakes."
"Demon, for your crimes, I, Kohn Dixioner, order that you be returned to your prison!!"
Gohan steeled himself for the inevitable attack that would follow, but none came for the moment. The reason stood right in front of him: Ku Lohn, blocking the path of the spears, arrows, or other weapons.
"Honored Elder, please, inform me of what crimes he has committed, please!"
"He is a demon, that is enough reason!! It is our way to destroy those such as he! Stand away, Ku Lohn!!"
Gohan laughed darkly. "How little you know, Kohn Dixioner. I am only half demon. And ways change, haven't you changed them yourself?"
"SILENCE!!!"
Ku Lohn looked intently into the aged woman's face. "You don't even know his name, do you? My God! You accuse someone, but yet you don't even consider him a person!!!" she said, disgusted with her people.
Fuming, Kohn Dixioner motioned for some of the Amazons to hold the rebellious champion. "You, Ku Lohn, are to be under probation until further notice. And *you*" she said, pointing at Gohan, and then signaled for three archers to take aim, "are going back to your prison, DEMON!!!!"
Urgently, yet powerfully, Gohan gave his last message to his friend of two days. "Ku Lohn, always remember this: not all demons are evil. Even Hanyous. What a disappointment it is when the best judge judges with fear and prejudice." He paused and continued in a softer voice, but one that carried infinitely more power. "I curse this spring-laden place. May it always bring sorrow to your people."
(AN: Dum-dum-da-dum!! There's the curse!)
A lesser Elder's daughter snorted, this one Ku Lohn knew to be a direct descendent of Videl's. She said something about just "drowning him so we won't have to worry about it." To this, he glared.
"Fine, you don't want me to leave it at that?! Well, then I curse you and your family to always be beholden to this place! Is that what you wanted?!?!"
"FIRE!!" Kohn Dixioner ordered, fearful that if she didn't, that he would soon turn his wrath on her. Three arrows sang through the air toward Gohan. Half-heartedly, he batted the first two away, allowing the final one to hit it's mark (3). Once again, he was bound to the tree, and this time, he was immediately asleep, and he stayed that way.
Koyasha's Yappings: Ok, I hope that this is long enough for your insatiable appetites for the time being. Well, we've found out what the title has to do with this story now, and I have those little side notes to take care of now.
1). A Haori is a jacket thing that is worn over a kimono to keep warm.
2). The odd contraption is nothing more or less than a zipper.
3). And as to why Gohan didn't just blast the hell outta all those bitches, well, he didn't wanna kill people. I know that he probably should've, but *shrug* .
Okie dokie. That chapter is ended! Yay!! It's longer! It's got more Goki time! It's chapter EIGHT!! Forgive me. It's late. Ja ne!
Youkai-Onna: Um, yeah.. Natsuko, huney, she's already dead.
