Greetings!
I am pleased to say that the 'attack rocks' will be making a few appearances throughout the story.
Now on with the story!!!!!! ===============================================================
"Hey Sanzo! I'm hungry!" Goku whined.
"You just ate!" Gojyo exclaimed.
"I know, but now I'm hungry again."
"Well maybe if you hadn't eaten all the food in that restaurant, we could go back there, monkey." Gojyo knocked Goku in the head.
"Well maybe if you hadn't hit on the waitress she wouldn't have booted us out! Water sprite!"
Gojyo and Goku were about to kill each other when Hakkai decided to step in. "Goku, would you like to come to the market place with me?"
Goku jumped up. "Yeah!" he chirped.
Before they left, Sanzo finished off a cigarette and said "Hakkai, could you please pick up another pack of cigarettes?"
"I thought you bought a whole other pack yesterday." Hakkai said.
Sanzo just stared.
"I'll get cigarettes for you Sanzo!" Goku smiled.
"Thank you." Was all Sanzo said. ===============================================================
Hakkai had lent Goku and extra power limiter to keep his new features hidden.
Luckily, no one noticed the two of them any way because the market place was extremely crowded. Hakkai could hardly get into any shops or stands.
Goku sighed and took the credit card out of Hakkai's hands. "Goku, what are you doing?!"
Goku ducked and crawled on his hands and knees to the head of the line.
The sales clerk was surprised to see a young boy pop out of no where. "How....may I....help you?"
"A pack of cigarettes please."
"I don't think your old enough to be smoking young man."
Goku rolled his eyes and waved the credit card in front of the clerk. "But I guess I could let this slide!" The clerk handed Goku the cigarettes and checked off the credit card.
"Thank you." Goku said cheerfully and pushed his way through the crowd.
Goku suddenly tripped and backed into someone.
"I'm sorry about tha-"Goku looked up and saw who it was.
"Well well well...I didn't think it'd be this easy to find you." Ryoushi snickered.
"Uh...gotta go." Goku got up and started to run.
"Hey! I didn't finish talking!" Ryoushi began to chase him.
Hakkai, witnessing this, started to chase them both.
Goku jumped up and landed on a stand roof. Ryoushi smirked and jumped up after him.
Goku hopped from one stand to another, hoping to confuse the hunter. But these tricks had no effect on Ryoushi.
"Monkey is very quick. But can he dodge this?" Ryoushi threw a net at the boy.
Goku jumped just in time to avoid being caught.
"Damnit!" Ryoushi shouted.
Goku found himself trapped in an ally. "...aw fuck..." he said.
"Looks like your trapped ya little shit. Let's make this easy and just come with me. I promise I won't hurt you."
Goku kicked dirt into Ryoushi's eyes and leapt into the air.
"YOU LITTLE SHIT!" Ryoushi cursed. He wiped the dirt from his eyes. "Ooooooh is he dead."
Goku ran through the crowd, trying to find Hakkai.
"Hakkai! Where are you!? Ryoushi's here!! Hakkai! Help me!"
Goku desperately tried to find his friend when he suddenly felt a cold hand press on his neck.
He fell into Ryoushi's arms, unconscious.
Just then, Hakkai burst out the crowd "Goku!"
"Ah ah..." Ryoushi pointed a gun at Hakkai. "One more step...and I'll shoot you..." Ryoushi paused and thought for a moment. "God that sounded lame....but I'm not kidding."
Hakkai took a step back. "What do you want with Goku?"
"I'm a bounty hunter my friend...I'm just in this to earn a few bucks and pay off my rent."
"So you're working for someone else?"
"You catch on quick don't ya one-eye." Ryoushi mocked.
Hakkai didn't know what to do.
"Well, it's been fun. But I got a rent to pay." And he disappeared.
"What just happened!?" some one in the crowd yelled.
Hakkai was in shock. "Oh shit..." was all he could word. ===============================================================
"Ow ow ow ow OW!" Ryoushi screeched as he dropped then now conscious Goku on the ground.
Goku got up and started to make a run for it when Ryoushi pummeled him. "I don't think so monkey! You've gotten me in trouble for the LAST time!"
"Not so rough Ryoushi. You might hurt him." A voice came from the darkness.
Goku froze and Ryoushi picked him up by the back of his shirt.
"Welcome home kiddo." He laughed.
He threw Goku near a tall, elegant figure standing near a fountain.
He could tell the figure was female.
"Don't be afraid little one. I won't hurt you." She reached out her hand and pulled him up into her arms.
"W-who are you?" Goku asked.
She simply smiled, sat down and cradled him.
At first, Goku tensed up and struggled. But the woman began singing to him and he felt at ease.
Goku started to remember Lirin singing to him. The two voices singing the sweet melody engulfed him, bringing him a moment of complete happiness. He fell asleep in the woman's arms.
"Thank you Ryoushi...you will be rewarded."
Ryoushi's eyes lit up. "So...when am I getting my prize?"
"Be patient." She stared down at the child resting in her arms as she lovingly brushed her hand through his hair. "You will get the bounty."
Ryoushi's eyes lowered. He couldn't be patient anymore. "Listen! I did what you asked me to do! So I at least get HALF now!"
She was obviously preoccupied, so she didn't answer him.
Ryoushi sighed. He couldn't win. ===============================================================
Hakkai staggered back up to the inn room and opened the door.
"What the hell happened to you?" Gojyo asked, startled.
"Where's Goku?" Sanzo questioned.
Hakkai just looked at them with a look of defeat.
"I couldn't catch up with them..." Hakkai finally choked. "I let that bastard take him..."
"You mean he's..." Gojyo gasped.
"Gone..." Sanzo finished.
Hakkai sat down and Gojyo handed him a cup of sake. Hakkai took it and drank it.
"It wasn't your fault Hakkai. I mean...none of us can out-run Goku. That Ryoushi guy is probably just as fast! Don't blame yourself." Gojyo comforted.
Hakkai didn't answer.
"Well, we better get going then..." Sanzo said.
"What?" Gojyo said.
"If that Ryoushi guy is as fast as you say, we'd better get going now or we'll never catch him." Sanzo stated.
The three packed up and headed out the door. ===============================================================
Goku awoke, still lying in the woman's arms. He looked at her face. She looked...familiar.
"Good morning." She smiled.
Goku just nodded. He felt odd. Like he couldn't move, and his body hurt.
Then he remembered the pain relievers Gojyo had bought for him. Without them, he felt sick and in pain.
The woman brought her palm to his brow. "You're feverish." She said, in dread.
The bandages started to leak and blood seeped through his shirt.
"This must have been Ryoushi's doing." She exclaimed. She gently and painlessly lifted his shirt and put a hand over the wound.
He whimpered.
A glowing light came from her hand and suddenly, the pain stopped completely.
Goku looked at the wound. It was gone.
"That should feel better." She held him closer.
"Why did you have Ryoushi bring me here?" Goku asked.
She completely ignored the question "Why don't you go get cleaned up? I have new clothes for you."
She put him down and led him to a huge door. "Now, just go inside and go all the way up to the tower. You'll find a huge bedroom with a washroom next to it. Your new clothes are on the bed." She smiled and hurried him along.
When she saw him disappear up the stairs she sighed a deep sigh and smiled.
"He's finally back where he belongs." She said. ===============================================================
Goku found everything the woman told him.
A pair of blue jeans and a black long-sleeve shirt lay on the bed.
He quickly took a shower and put them on.
They were a little baggy. The pants covered his feet and he couldn't see his hands anymore with the shirt on. But they were comfortable.
He put his boots on and ran downstairs.
When he arrived downstairs, the woman smiled when she saw him.
"Their a little big, but I like 'em." Goku assured her.
"That's good. You see, I never clothed you when you were younger. And I saw that you wear these kind of things...so I took these clothes from a farmer who was washing them in the river."
Goku didn't know what she was talking about. "What do you mean 'when I was younger'?"
Her face went from happy to gloom. "You...wouldn't remember...now, would you?"
"Remember what?"
She patted his head. "You need not worry. It's getting late and you look exhausted."
She walked up the stairs with him and led him into the huge bedroom he got his new clothes from.
After tucking the exhausted child in, she left the room and headed back down the stairs. ===============================================================
Ryoushi staggered along the path, dragging his staff behind him. A familiar sound made his ears perk up and he looked up.
The Sanzo team was driving along a few miles ahead.
"If they see me...I'm screwed." Ryoushi said. But an idea popped into his head.
He could get even with that bitch by having the Sanzo party take the only thing precious to her.
Goku.
Ryoushi ran down the road so they would see him.
"HEEEEEEEEY!!!! OOOOVER HEEEEEERE!!!!!"
They spotted him...and didn't stop.
The jeep began to chase him and he screamed out "HEY!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? STOP THE JEEP!!!"
They kept going.
"STOP THE FRIGGIN JEEP YOU MORONS!!!! I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU!"
The break was immediately slammed.
"Help us? You're joking...right?" Gojyo asked.
"I know how you can get the kid back." Ryoushi grinned. ===============================================================
All in one word...
DONE!
Hope you guys liked it! Spiffy huh?
Well! Until my next nifty chapter!
Adieu.
Remember! R&R!!!!!!!!!! (Be a friend, huh?)
