*At Kougaiji's Tower*
"Kazuki! Where were you!" Yaone yelled the minute Kazuki came back, she noticed that Kazuki was carrying a white limp figure over his back.
Kazuki calmly walked past her, "It's none of your concern..." Yaone looked back at Kazuki, "It is my concern! We've been worried about you! Kougaiji- sama is really disappointed with you!"
Kazuki slowly walked to a big door leading to the hallway and held the doorknob, "I don't care." He pushed the door open leaving Yaone.
*****
Kazuki stepped in the room where Kougaiji was. Kougaiji looked back at him, "Where were you?" Kazuki shrugged, "At least I managed to track down the Sanzo Ikkou." Kougaiji glared at Kazuki, "And what's that your carrying?"
Kazuki turned around, "Something I picked up while battling the Sanzo Ikkou. Now if you'd excuse me...I have something to do." *Back to the Sanzo-Ikkou*
"Harahetta!" Goku said as his stomach growled. They were now walking to the next town to find another means of transportation so that they could rescue Hakkuryu. Gojyo knocked Goku on the head, "Baka saru! If you hadn't defeated that other brat we wouldn't be in this mess!"
Ryuko looked at Gojyo, "Don't blame Goku for this! It's my fault that Hakkuryu got kidnapped!" Hakkai put his hand on Ryuko's shoulder, "Don't blame yourself for everything." Ryuko shook her head, "Everything's my fault."
*Ryuko's Flashback...(Ryuko's POV)*
Why am I always blamed for everything? It's always like this...even back in the orphanage the kids used to blame me for things that I didn't do...
"Ryuko did it!"
"I didn't!"
"Yes you did! Look at your hands!"
*the headmaster of the martial arts orphanage came in the room*
"What's all of this?"
"Master, Ryuko broke the vase!"
"I said I didn't do it!"
"You did! All of our hands are clean, your hands are the only ones that are dirty!"
"But I was...."
"Ryuko! That's it punishment for you!"
I'm always the one with the unclean hands...it's always like that....until that day...I was sitting near the sakura tree...crying.
"What's wrong?"
I looked up and I saw him...he was my only friend....
"Here, let me help you up..."
But after my last training mission....
*A year later*
I smelt smoke nearby, I ran as fast as I could towards the orphanage...but I was to late...everything was burnt down...I called out his name...and I found him injured...
"Ryuko, it's too late for me. Do me a favour and kill me!"
"What!? No, I can't do that I'm getting you out of here!"
"Don't! The only way you'll get out of here is if you kill me...so take your knife and kill me!"
"...I can't..."
The demons were coming closer...I didn't know what to do...I had no choice...
"I'm sorry..."
I stabbed him in the chest...my hands were stained...with his blood...everything was my fault...
*Present time...*
"Ryuko!" Goku shook Ryuko to snap her out of it.
"What?" Ryuko blinked a few times and looked at Goku, "What is it?"
"...Harahetta!!"
Ryuko sighed and sweatdropped, "How many times are you gonna tell me that!?" Goku pouted, "Harahetta...Harahetta....Harahetta...Harahetta..."
Sanzo took out his fan and whacked Goku repeatedly on the head, "BAKA SARU!!!" Goku moaned, "Itai..."
Hakkai examined the map and sighed, "We have to find Hakkuryu soon...oh well, it would take us hours to get to the next town and it's almost dark so I suggest that we camp."
Goku jumped up and down, "Hai!" Sanzo took out a cigarette, "Whatever..." So they managed to find a campsite and set up the tent.
Goku shivered, "It's so cold!" Gojyo knocked Goku on the head, "Shut up already! Your whining voice is so annoying!"
Ryuko gathered some fire wood together, "Okay, okay I'm trying to make some fire here!" She rubbed her hands together and made a fireball. Hakkai looked at the size of the fireball and said in a worried tone. "Eh...Ryuko you might want to make a smaller fire ball...."
Ryuko sighed and made the fire smaller, "As if I didn't know that..." She threw the fire at the fire wood and made a nice warm blazing camp fire. "Yay! Now we can fry those fish I caught!" Goku yelled in delight as he brought his catch towards the fire.
So, as the Ikkou ate their fish they all talked for a while as Sanzo smoked.
"I wonder why Kazuki kidnapped Hakkuryu..." mused Ryuko as she looked into the fire. "Well whatever it is, we'll get Hakkuryu back!" Hakkai said with a determined tone in his voice. Gojyo snorted, "Yeah, I can't stand another day walking in the hot sun and putting up with this saru!" Goku pushed Gojyo, "What's that supposed to mean!?" Gojyo pushed Goku back and they started arguing again. Sanzo lighted another cigarette, "Ch, as if it makes any difference."
Ryuko groaned, "Is it me, or do those two argue more than ten times a day?" Hakkai smiled and sweatdropped, "There have been worse days."
*Back in Kougaiji's Tower*
Kazuki laid Hakkuryu on a small metal table. Hakkuryu weakly 'kyued' as it slowly opened it's eyes. Kazuki smirked, "Don't worry, your owner will come sooner or later...along with the fire dragon..."
Suddenly the door behind Kazuki creaked open, Kazuki looked at the door from the corner of his eyes, "Get outta here, I'm busy!" It was Dr. Ni who came in, he held his stuffed bunny doll in front of Kazuki, "So here you are assassin..." Kazuki groaned, "I have a name you know..." A smirk came across the mad scientist's face, "And what do you have there? Mind if I take a look." He moved his hand towards Hakkuryu but Kazuki slapped his hand away. "This is my business and I don't want you budding in!" Dr. Ni laughed, "But maybe you could use some help...you don't want the sutra...you want that girl don't you?"
Kazuki picked up Hakkuryu from the table and walked away, "I don't have time for your nonsense." Kazuki was stopped when Dr. Ni placed a hand on his shoulder, "I might have something that you need..." Hakkuryu gave another weak 'kyu' in Kazuki's arms.
*Back to the Sanzo Ikkou...again!*
They were now sleeping in the tent. Ryuko had her sleeping bag near Hakkai's she had her back to him hiding that she was still awake. Her thoughts were now focused on the Ikkou. Goku and Gojyo seemed to like to argue a lot. Sanzo was still a mystery to her...and then there was Hakkai...there was something about him that made Ryuko feel safe whenever she was around him, it wasn't his smile it was just something about this emerald eyed youkai that reminded Ryuko of someone she once knew.
Ryuko sighed softly but quickly covered her mouth when she felt Hakkai shift. "Can't sleep?" Hakkai said softly, Ryuko could feel his gaze on her. Ryuko shook her head, "I usually don't sleep that much." Ryuko turned around and her own green eyes met with Hakkai's, "I'm sorry..." Hakkai had a confused look on his face, "Sorry for what?" Ryuko shook her head, "I'm sorry for everything. Because of me, Hakkuryu's gone...and...I've just been a burden to you guys."
Hakkai put his hand on Ryuko's shoulder, "Ever since we met you, you've been blaming yourself...stop doing that." Ryuko pushed Hakkai's hand away from her, "You don't get it...everything's my fault...I killed my only friend...I don't want to kill anymore loved ones!" After saying that Ryuko covered her mouth, she quickly got up and ran out of the campsite. Hakkai was about to run after her but was stopped, "Let her go." Hakkai looked at Sanzo, "But..." Hakkai sighed and gave up.
*Near a lake*
Ryuko was now deep in her thoughts not noticing what was going on around her, "Why did I say that!? I'm so stupid...they might think I'm a murderer." Ryuko looked at her reflection in the water and sighed, "I hate myself..." Suddenly a twig nearby snapped, Ryuko summoned her scythe. "Go away!"
Hakkai slowly approached her, "It's okay..." Ryuko pointed her scythe at Hakkai, "I said go away." Hakkai refused to move, "Ryuko, listen to me. You didn't really kill your best friend on purpose did you?" Ryuko sighed and dropped her scythe, "No. He told me to do so." Hakkai looked at Ryuko, "It's okay, I'm just like you." Ryuko looked up at Hakkai, "What?" Hakkai began to tell Ryuko how he became a demon, "After that I kept blaming myself for Kanan's death. So do you see? I lost a love one just like you."
Ryuko shook her head and stood up, "No, we're not the same! I KILLED him! You didn't kill Kanan, she killed herself!" Hakkai hesitated, "But...I" Ryuko picked up her scythe, "Once we find Hakkuryu...I'm leaving." She then walked back to the tent leaving Hakkai at the lake.
*Next day*
As they walked through the path the day seemed to be getting hotter and hotter. Goku and Gojyo kept arguing with each other while the other three remained silent. Ryuko was still upset and avoided eye contact with Hakkai.
Suddenly, they heard Hakkuryu give a 'kyu'. They saw Kazuki holding Hakkuryu in his arms. Something was different about him, he had a blank expression on his face and his eye colour seemed more faded.
Hakkai yelled out, "HAKKURYU!" Ryuko, Goku and Gojyo summoned their weapons. While Sanzo loaded his gun. Ryuko glared at Kazuki, "Let's settle this once and for all." Kazuki let go off Hakkuryu it wanted to fly to Hakkai but once the Ikkou took a closer look, Hakkuryu's wings were chained. Hakkai yelled out, "Let it go!" Kazuki smirked, "I made another discovery yesterday, he slowly approached Hakkai, "It seems that your little white dragon happens to be one of the five dragons." Ryuko gasped, "What!? That means the owner of the forth dragon is...." She looked at Hakkai, "You." Kazuki smirked, "Now all I have to do is kill you two and get Sanzo's sutra." Sanzo aimed his gun at Kazuki, "Over my dead body!"
