This is my first fic. So please be nice. ^_^
Chapter 1: Finding the orb
Only the flipping of pages and some murmurs were heard inside the library. It wasn't for a long time till the door opened and a figure stepped out of the door and closed the door behind him.
"I finally found something that might be able to help me defeat the Sanzo- Ikko." A small smile was on Kougaiji's lips as he continued to walk along the dark corridors of Hotou Castle. He soon reached his bedchamber and opened the door silently. He moved the sheets of his bed a little and fixed the pillows and went to bed.
Kougaiji soon woke up as the room went bright as the sun rose. He soon got dressed as soon as he got out of bed. He went strait to the dining room and was warmly greeted by his followers before he sat down. As soon as he sat down, three maids entered the dining room with their breakfast. A few minutes passed and they were done eating.
"Be at the meeting room in five minutes. We have something to discuss." Kougaiji said as he stood up and left the room.
Dokugakuji, Yaone and Lirin went to the meeting room at the same time. They were silent while walking down the corridors leading to the meeting room, not saying a word to each other. It didn't take long before they got there.
"Oniichan, what do you want to discuss about?" Lirin said while walking towards her brother.
"I went to the library last night. I found this orb on top of the shelves. I found a book about this but I still don't know how this works. But it seems that this orb might be able to help us defeat the Sanzo-Ikko." Taking out a small orb from his pocket, he walked to a small box and carefully placed it inside. "I'll leave it here for safekeeping."
"What are we supposed to do now?" Lirin asked with a bored look on her face.
"I don't know yet. But I'll find out. I'll go to the library. Yaone, you might know something a bout this. I read the book. But I still couldn't understand what it meant."
"Are you asking me to go with you to the library? Because if you do, I'll gladly go with you." A smile was on Yaone's lips as she hopefully wished that he asked her to help him.
Kougaiji nodded and they both headed for the library. When they got there, Kougaiji opened the door and led Yaone inside. He walked towards a shelf at the very end of the library. He scanned the shelf for the book. When he found it, he pulled it out and placed it on a small wooden table. The book was old and some of the pages were missing and some were torn. Some of the words weren't even clear. It seemed that the book had been there for many years. He flipped the pages and stopped when he saw the information about the orb. "Yaone, please tell me if you understand it." He moved a little to the left so that Yaone would be able to see the book better. Yaone tried her best to understand it but she was only able to understand only a few.
"I'm sorry Kougaiji-sama. But I only understand a little. It seems that a part of the book was burnt. I guess that's why we couldn't understand this. I know that this may sound ridiculous. But I think we need some help from Gyokumen Koushu-sama." She said as she closed the book carefully.
"Your idea was really stupid. But I think you're right. Since she has been here more than we have, she must know something about the orb and why it was in the library. You should go back and take care of Lirin. I'll go talk to Gyokumen Koushu." Yaone bowed and left the library.
Kougaiji went out and headed to where Gyokumen Koushu was. It didn't take long before he got there. Kougaiji stepped into the light. Gyokumen Koushu easily spotted him.
"What brings Gyumao's son here?" She smiled as she placed her hands on her lap.
Kougaiji pulled out the orb from his pocket and showed it to her. "I found this orb on top of the shelves in the library last night. You might know something about it."
"It is an orb which holds the power of the Fire Dragon. Once this orb is used, the dragon will be freed and whoever summoned it will be its new master."
"Then why didn't use it?"
"Because I can't. It will only follow the first descendant of whoever found it in the cave where it originally was."
Kougaiji raised an eyebrow when Gyokumen Koushu said this. He quickly returned the orb in his pocket. "And who found it?"
"Gyumao did. It means that only you can use the Fire Dragon's power."
Kougaiji smirked. "So once I summon it, I can use its powers however I want?"
"Yes. However... Its power has been weakened. It was not used for five hundred years. Its creator once used its powers to defeat his enemy. Then was sealed in a cave after a year."
"And we can return its original power?" He said as he raised his eyebrow again.
"Yes. But you will have to go to the cave where it was originally from. If you are willing to go then I shall lend you the map. The map is in a book in the library. It's an old book. Some of the pages might be missing. The map was inserted in between the pages. It's a brown book. It will be easy to find." She said before leaving. "One more thing. You must have a companion with you. The trip will be hard." She said before continuing to walk away.
"Wait. Why are you being nice today?"
"Because once you have control over its power, we will need that power to revive my darling, Gyumao."
As soon as she left, Kougaiji called his companions to go to their meeting room. Yaone, Dokugakuji and Lirin quickly went to the meeting room.
"Oniichan, what did mother tell you?"
"She told me about the orb I found. It holds the power of the Fire Dragon. I will be leaving next week. Dokugakuji will go with me. Yaone, you take care of Lirin while we're away."
"But that's not fair! I want to go too! Why do you always have to leave me and Yaone-chan here? It's so boring here!" Lirin said with an angry face.
"I just don't want you to get hurt. I'll bring you a treat when we get back." Kougaiji said while ruffling Lirin's orange hair.

"Sanzo! I'm hungry!" Goku whined, sitting at the back of the jeep.
Sanzo was busy lighting up a cigarette. Hakkai was just smiling while he drove as always. Gojyo was busy looking at the pictures of his hentai magazines.
"Don't worry Goku, the town's just one more hour away." Hakkai said with the usual everyday smile on his face.
An hour passed and they reached a town. Hakkai quickly parked their green jeep in front of an inn. Once the jeep was parked, The jeep transformed into a little white dragon that rested on Hakkai's shoulder. They went in the inn to get some rooms.
"Excuse me. Do you have any rooms available?" Hakkai said with a smile on his face.
"Yeah. How many?" The innkeeper asked in a lazy tone while reading an old magazine.
"Four." Sanzo said before taking out his credit card.
"Go up the stairs and turn right." The innkeeper said before handing them their keys.
The Sanzo-Ikko went up the stairs, turned right and went to their rooms. Sanzo chose a simple room with violet colored sheets. Goku chose a small room with yellow colored sheets. Hakkai chose simple room with green colored sheets. Gojyo chose the small room with red sheets. Once comfortable, all of them heard knocks on their doors. Each of them was served with a glass of water and some food. When Sanzo received his food, he just placed the glass of water and the food on the table. When Goku received his food, he gratefully took it and ate it quickly. Hakkai gave the maid a warm smile when she gave Hakkai his food. Gojyo flirted with the maid when she gave him his food. After eating their food, they all got ready for bed. It didn't take long before they were all sleeping peacefully but alert. Except for Goku.
The next morning, they all ate their food together. Once finished, they all got dressed.
"Sanzo, Goku, Gojyo, I'm going shopping for a while. We ran out of food supplies. I should get some before we leave. I hope you don't mind." Hakkai said before buttoning his shirt.
"Whatever you want." Sanzo said while reading his newspaper.
"I want to go too!" Goku said with his cheerful smile.
Hakkai and Goku went to the market to buy some food for their trip. Goku dragged Hakkai to different places to buy him a lot of food. A few hours had passed and they were done shopping. They both returned to the inn. When they returned, Hakuryu transformed into a green jeep and they all hopped in. Hakkai carefully placed the food into a bag and placed it in a corner of the jeep. After checking if everything was in order, they continued on with their journey to the west.
