Chapter 9:

In Case of Emergency, Please Break Glass

Urdur hugged Yume's fanged head. "Mine first. I sentence you to find your Henshin Sanzo's former soul, granting my nephew Henshin to aid in this hunt. I charge you with endless devotion to the birth of your daughter."

Skuld stroked Yume's hand. "Then it is mine. I grant you the full powers of time to aid in your quest. I sentence you to exist in your natural form, given to you by your biological parents. I give you the gift of transformation into whichever form you feel you need best at anytime. Feel free to try it out if you want. Just keep in mind, you can only use your blood power."

Mimiru yawned. "Well, she has to stay as a humanoid demon."

Skuld shrugged. "As her natural form."

Mimiru shook her head. "Not compromising."

Yume ran a hand through her long bangs. "Not caring..."

Henshin raised his hand. "Um...Aunts? Question?"

Urdur pointed. "You in the back."

Henshin smiled. "Thank you. Why am I being volunteered?'

Skuld held up her finger. "Because your name is Henshin and I thought it was funny."

Urdur nodded. "Verdandi thought it was a riot. Besides, you need to learn that all women are not as defenseless as you think."

Goyjo held his hands up. "Amen to that!"

Yume giggled, holding her hand in front of her mouth. "Ada, no one asked you."

Goyjo walked off. "I'll be in the bar next door."

Sanzo and Goku just blinked many times and moved on.

Hakkai simply left with Hakuuryu on his shoulder.

Mimiru grimaced. "Those mortals are idiots."

Skuld smacked her. "Shut up demon. Yume! Change back to normal."

Yume smiled softly. "Yes. Of course." She let it all change back, her real hair color black as night, her eyes a soft blue. She grinned a Gojyo grin. "Ada should be happy. After all, he really should have black hair. I looked."

Mimiru gagged. "That's just TMI."

Urdur pointed out the door. "Go find a new weapon. Henshin, pay for it."

Yume hopped out the door, Henshin hot on her heels.

-------------Inn

"Oy. Monkey, go see if you can find out what's keeping Yume." Gojyo had taken a new interest in his daughter after her three hour hiatus.

Goku sighed and pointed out the window. "I don't need to. I can sense her aura, and it looks like she bought a cloak. Plus, Henshin's still following her around."

The door creaked open slowly, a white flag waved in before the person who opened the door slid in, followed by Henshin. She gave a piece sign. "Now. I want you to promise me that you won't shoot me no matter what I look like."

Sanzo nodded. "Fine. Just take off that damned cloak."

Yume sighed. "I don't wanna."

Henshin rolled his eyes and grabbed it off with a ripping noise. "There. HEY! Get out of there!"

Yume had ducked behind him with lightning speed, shadowing his every move. "Meanie."

Gojyo grabbed Yume's arm. "Just shut up. Oh my gods...."

Skuld popped in. "It's Ah! Megumi-san! Yume! I take it you didn't warn them?"

Yume flipped her long black over her thin shoulder. "Nope."

Skuld sighed. "I thought not. And I also take it you couldn't find a weapon?"

Yume smiled. "That's two for Skuld."

Skuld snorted. "Hold out your hand and come up with a word. That word is going to be the basis of your new weapon."

Yume scratched her head. "Shura yukihime."

Skuld sighed. "That's two. But cut off the first one."

Yume rolled her eyes and held her hand out. "Yukihime!" A black and red naginata version of Gojyo's staff flashed into her hand. "Cool."

Skuld coughed politely. "Yes. If won't break as easily as other weapons. Pick another word."

"Shura!" Yume grinned.

Skuld shook her head. "You're determined to say princess blade aren't you?"

Yume perked her head as she grinned. "Of course I am."

Skuld waved her hand in a go ahead movement. "Fine."

Yume spun her new weapon around. "Shura!" A black and red bracelet flashed on her wrist.

Skuld grinned. "That bracelet is capable of summoning a fiend. I'm not the one to show you how, but now you have the means. Oh, Yume?"

Yume stopped playing with her new toys and looked seriously at Skuld. "What?"

Skuld ran her hand through her hair. "Just....be careful all right?" She waved and disappeared.

Yume gripped her staff tightly, her pale eyes flashing icily. "This is me we're talking about here."

Sanzo shot the wall. "Shut up and go to sleep!"

-------------Morning

"Get moving!" Yume kicked Henshin out of bed. "Come on! Sanzo says he's going to leave!"

Henshin lifted his bleary face out of his pillow. "Who are you again....?"

Yume threw a bucket of ice water on him. "GET YOUR FUCKING LAZY ASS OUT OF BED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

----downstairs

Gojyo swirled his finger in his ear. "God! She's making my ears bleed." The sounds of Yume's morning wakeup echoed all the way downstairs.

Sanzo's face grew the little tick mark. "Will someone go shut them up?!"

Yume walked peacefully down the stairs, a very wet Henshin following. "Good morning!"

Henshin shivered. "She gave me a cold shower with all my clothes on..."

Gojyo snorted. "Oh that should wake you up..."

Yume plunked down and promptly displayed why it is good to be ambidextrous. She picked up two pairs of chopsticks (one per hand), and began stealing food from her father and Goku, while still getting her favorites.

Goku stood up. "Hey! You can't just take the last pot sticker!"

Yume stuck her tongue out. "Urusai baka saru. I didn't see your name on it."

Goku snarled. "Then I'll just take your last spring roll!"

Yume kicked his chair out from under him and grabbed his plate, leaving a foot on his head to keep him down. "Rakusho. Rakusho."

Gojyo grinned. "Nice. I'll take that."

Yume poked him with her left chopsticks. "Nuh uh. Mine."

Henshin sighed and flicked his fingers, making an impossibly large snap. "URUSAI MINA-SAN!!"

Yume huffed and flicked her hair. "Oh I'm so not taking this shit anymore!"

Sanzo smacked the four with his paper fan. "Eat quietly dammit! Quietly!"

Yume rubbed her head and stood up. "I'm done anyway."

Henshin watched her go, shock on his face. "But you didn't even finish your mandu..."

Yume gave a girlish grin. "Daijobu!" She shook her head and left the room, out into the empty courtyard.

Sanzo got up. "Are you finished now? Because I'm leaving."

Hakkai smiled. "Maybe we should give Miss Yume a few more minutes to herself before making her sit in the same car as everyone-"

A female scream of pure rage echoed through the town, amplified by god knows how. Yume walked back in, a smile on her face. "I feel better now."

Gojyo dug in his ear. "That's twice today you've made me feel like killing you."

Yume hung over his shoulder and poked him. "You wouldn't kill a helpless girl. It's in your nature. Are we leaving or what?"

Sanzo pointed his gun at her. "If you ever make a sound like that again this early in the fucking morning, I'm going to shoot you head off."

Yume stuck her finger in the hole of the Smith and Wesson. "Nah. Sanzo-kun wouldn't shoot me. I'm too useful."

-------Road, many many miles away from the town

"Sanzo...." Goku opened his mouth to emit a complaint.

"Harahete! We KNOW." Yume rolled her eyes and stood up in the back of the Jeep. "But there's something we don't. Like for example.....WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!!"

Hakkai hit the brakes. "It appears to be a boulder."

Yume's eye's bugged out. "Yeah. I know THAT! But what the hell is a boulder doing in the middle of a forest?!"

The boulder crashed down. "Hello baldy! I've come to play again!"

Sanzo grew a tick mark. "Damn it. Can't she find anyone else to pester?!"

Gojyo laughed. "Aw. I'd love to be chased by a girl like that.....never mind."

Sanzo had put his gun to Gojyo's head. "Let's avoid a repeat of last time. Yume, take care of her."

Yume hopped out of the Jeep. "Come on squirt! I don't have all day! Shura Yukihime!" Her bracelet and naginata flashed into existence.

Lirin grinned. "All right! Taste my wrath! Here I come!" She sped down the boulder, only to be whapped in the head gently with Yume's naginata. "Hey! No fair!"

Yume laughed a little and flipped her hair, making her look somewhat boyish (apparently boyish enough). "Daijobu?"

Lirin grew hearts for eyes. "I am now!"

Yume sighed. "I'm a girl."

Lirin tapped her foot against the ground. "Prove it."

Yume shook her head. "I have enough common sense NOT to flash people."

Lirin moved so fast Yume didn't catch her movement, and slashed off the top of Yume's immaculate new outfit. "Oh. You are a girl."

Yume blushed and screamed, the force of her scream lifting rocks off the ground and shattering them two feet up, creating a massive wind that made the Sanzo-ikkou cover their ears. "YOU LITTLE BITCH!" She moved to cut off Lirin's head, her eyes icy.

Kougaji blocked her blow. "Lirin....apologize to the lady."

Lirin scowled. "Gomen nasai lady."

Yume had a moment of Gojyoness: eyes in shock, words saying Kijin-Hakai Yume, age 19 (single) flashed by on the proverbial screen. "Not lady! Just call me onay-chan ok? I'm not old enough to be a lady."

Kougaji patted Lirin on the head. "Looks like the Sanzo-ikkou picked themselves up a new friend."

Yume grimaced. "Bastard."

Kougaji closed his eyes and did his usual chant for the summoning of fiends.

Yume smiled. "So that's how you do it! But this thing kind of sucks....." She jumped over Kougaji's fiend with a little flip and accidentally touched its back, sealing it in her bracelet. "Oh crap! I'm so sorry! Wait a sec!" She tried her best to remember Kougaji's summon chant, and ended up with her wrist being electrocuted by her own bracelet.

Kougaji sighed. "Repeat after me." He repeated his usual fiend summoning chant, letting Yume copy his every word and movement. "Attack."

"Attack." The fiend ripped itself loose from Yume's bracelet, its color slightly girlier. "Sorry about the color....."

Kougaji let it go. "It's all right. Lirin! Let's go."

Yume waved sarcastically. "Bye bye now!"

Lirin stuck her tongue out. "I'll come back and play again sometime else baldy Sanzo, water sprite, stupid monkey, onay-chan!" She and her half brother blinked out.

Yume frowned at the boulder. "Well that's in the way. Up ya get!" She lifted the boulder up over her head and held it there. "Go now so I can put it back down!"

Hakkai hit the gas quickly, driving past where Yume stood. "Be sure to be careful when you put that boulder down now!"

Yume grinned. "Hai!" She threw the boulder far across the forest, away from where they were headed. It landed with a large oompf. She dusted off her hands and raced back to claim her spot in the Jeep.

Gojyo poked her. "What was all that?"

Yume grew a Sanzo tick mark. "Shut up."

Gojyo poked her again. "Come on....tell daddy."

Yume's tick mark grew so big and she was so consumed with anger she grabbed Sanzo's gun and fired off a few rounds. In the silence that followed, Yume's cold voice made you realize just why she was called a cold-blooded murderer "If you open your mouth again, I'm going to slice your balls off and make you choke on them."

-------------Inn

"Kougaji....." Yume spun around on her toes. "He's so cute!" A rapping on her window called her to attention. Yume pulled open the blinds and saw, to all surprises, Kougaji. She swung open the window and hopped out. "What's up?"

Kougaji sighed. "Lirin sent me to apologize for her."

Yume snorted and sat down on the roof. "Right." She stared up at the stars.

Kougaji was silent for a moment. "She did."

"They're beautiful aren't they?" Yume had curled up her knees, wrapping her arms around them, and looking up.

Kougaji looked up with her. "Yeah. Well....Lirin wants me to...well..."

Yume looked at him. "Whatever it is, it can't be that bad. So just do it already."

Kougaji swooped down and hugged Yume, holding is hug a little bit longer than necessary. He pushed her away suddenly, when Yume began to curl her fingers around his shoulder. "I shouldn't do that."

Yume looked up at him, and smiled softly. She stood there silently for a few long moments. "It's all right. It's because we chose different sides isn't it?"

Kougaji looked at the stars. "Yes."

Yume wiped a few tears out of her eyes. "Uh huh."

Kougaji looked at her in alarm. "Don't cry..."

Yume held a finger to his lips. "Shh...Someone might hear you."

Kougaji just watched Yume watch the stars for awhile, and then blinked out.

Yume looked up to where he had been. "Cheater."

A knocking on her door forced her to get back in the room. "Hey, can I come in?" Gojyo's voice echoed from the hallway.

Yume wiped her eyes on her sleeve, seeing how damp it was. "Of course. Just hang on a minute."

Gojyo opened the door quickly. "I don't think I care anymore. You like him don't you?"

Yume smiled. "Cut straight to the point didn't you. And yes, I do. In a way you with your flirtatious nature couldn't understand. Now good night." She pulled open the door, to reveal Goku and Henshin, sprawled on her floor. "Get a hobby." As Gojyo left, she slammed the door shut.

Gojyo went to hang out in the main room. "Well she's pissed."

Hakkai drunk some sake. "I told you to mind your own business."

Sanzo read his paper, adjusting his glasses. "As long as she doesn't hold back on him in a fight, I could care less."

Goku and Henshin rubbed their respected heads. Henshin snorted. "Quick to find eavesdroppers isn't she?"

Kanzeon popped in. "This is no fun. This is the gist of what's going on in her mind: I hate my life. See, she can't pick either side; else she could dishonor one of the two important people in her life. And yes, Kougaji is important. She understands him better than anyone else, considering how her soul grew up with his mother. Also considering he's a reincarnation of someone very important to her." A cigarette tray hit Kanzeon upside her head. Kanzeon smirked. "I'll let you have this fight, because I have a feeling you're truly waking up, Hikara-maki."

Yume stood in the shadows. "Shut up. Just shut up and leave me alone. Forever."

Kanzeon stood straight up. "Do your worst Hikara-maki. I won't die anyway. Or maybe you're hoping your precious Henshin Sanzo was reincarnated as a Sanzo? Dream on. The least likely is the one. And it's not Henshin, he's 900 years old."

Yume's eyes grew empty, twin navy spots in her head, a glowing red eyed shadow image behind her. "Urusai..."

Kanzeon snorted. "Oh look at the wussy shadow. Your intimidation doesn't work anymore. If you use your brain cells, you would know your precious Henshin Sanzo is also your precious Kougaji who's also your precious little servant with the cute little smile Wufei. But maybe you don't want to think you had a life before they used him as ransom to force you to assassinate the Jade Emperor. And maybe you didn't know that he was lynched two hours after you left the Demon-Heaven. Or maybe it hurts too much to think about huh Hikara–maki. And would you believe it, you own father killed him."

Yume disappeared, reappearing to stick her new pole in Kanzeon's gut. "Shut up."

Kanzeon hacked up blood and backed away quickly. "Oh you are pissing me off..."

Henshin grabbed Yume's arm. "Don't! Get a grip on yourself Yume!"

Yume blinked, her blue eyes turning back to ice. "Yume.....that's my name now isn't it...."

Kanzeon grimaced. "Come on! We were having so much fun Hikara-maki."

Yume's eyes faded out again and she threw Henshin through the wall absentmindedly and grinned, her teeth growing extremely long and pointed, her jaw growing to the point that it didn't match her mouth.

Kanzeon grimaced. "Oh damn. Weren't there supposed to be limiters on you or something?!"

Skuld and Urdur popped in. Skuld rushed in between Yume and the Sanzo-ikkou, to protect them all. "Or something! Come on Henshin! Get pissed off!"

Urdur cracked her bull whip. "No use on him! Remember! His momma put limiters on him that should have been used on her!"

Skuld cracked out one of her special electric balls. "Merciful Goddess! Clear out!"

Kanzeon spat out blood. "Hell no. Get pissed off girl. See if I care. But what will your precious little lover boy say if he sees you like this? Hmm? Because I don't think he ever really left."

Yume grew wicked long claws, glowing gold. Her scream reached even her 'boyfriend's' ears. When the haze cleared, Yume stood there, supremely evil and sexy looking. Her claws were the traditional length, but what she was wearing was definitely not. A chakra on her forehead announced her as a god, her outfit like Kanzeon's, sans silver sun and gold stuff, her stomach freely exposed past her belly button. Her hair flowed freer, like demon Goku's, an alien haloish hair device held a shining red orb in place above her head, held down at the base of her skull. Her skirt was long, but definitely sexy in its daring cut that exposed her belly button, and the under layer threatened to fall down a few centimeters, exposing her bottom. Her eyes were closed, and she snapped them open, showing her ice blue eyes. Her clan mark was a black claw mark under her left eye and on the side of her left forearm. She smiled one of Son Goku's evil smiles. "Are you scared yet goddess?"

Kanzeon put on a brave front. "Well.....speak of the devil and she comes. Think she can take it? Because that isn't your body anymore. It belongs to her."

Hikara-maki grinned, her demon canines longer than most. "Oh, she can take so much more than this. After all, she called me here. And I personally doubt pretty boy will say anything."

Urdur snapped her whip against Hikara-maki's shoulder. "Turn around. I think you should see this."

Hikara-maki spun around, and ended up looking Kougaji straight in the eyes. "Oh shit...Don't get mad at me in there! You know what?! Bitch about it in person!" Hikara-maki stuck her hand in the air, letting the large bangles on her wrist glow red.

Yume poofed into existence, wearing only a red bikini. The little anger tick mark grew all over her body, her eyes shadowed out. "DO YOU HAVE TO DO THAT?!"

Hikara-maki grinned. She clapped politely. "If you've got, why not show it off?"

Yume grimaced and waved her hands. "Spirits of the dead come forth and hear my plea! Ouroborus!" A large black infinity sign appeared on the ground under Yume and a glow surrounded her. When the glow cleared, she was clothed like Nurse Witch Komugi's Japanese singing self, complete with the microphone. (see vol. 12, ADV Previews, Nurse Witch Komugi) "NANI?! Perverted time dragon...."

Urdur snickered behind her hand. "If you could see yourself now..."

Yume sighed. "Oh well. Guess it'll do."

Hikara-maki pointed at Yume, in an extremely childish way. "What's up with that?! Is that a challenge?"

Yume flipped her long black hair. "Yep. I hereby challenge you to an....unconventional magic duel!"

Hikara-maki grinned. "Just to let you know, I invented all the spells you know!"

Yume just held her hand to her usual red and black pendant, letting the little thermometer flick out. She pulled it out and let it hang in the air for a moment, and grabbed the larger staff version, and then went through the whole change thing, turning her into.....a black haired, ice blue eyed duplicate of Nurse Witch Kogumi (doing the entire change process in slow motion). She even did the whole cute pentagram thing. "Let's go!"

Hikara-maki gave a sly grin and changed into the maid chick from the same show, with a godlier appearance. She held out her duster wand. "Hell yeah girl. Let's give these boys a lesson in just how weird women can be!"

Yume pointed at Hikara-maki with her wand. "I'm going to teach you, the uneducated lump of slut, just what the phrase 'let's take it outside' really means!" She jumped right through the wall.

Hikara-maki golf-clapped. "Nice phantom technique. My turn now." Hikara-maki disappeared and reappeared right outside the window.

Kougaji sighed. "Might as well stay for the show."

Yume spun her staff around. "Let's get this party started! Candy Rain!" A downpour of sweet confections started bonking Hikara-maki on the head.

Hikara-maki winced. "Ow ow ow ow! That really hurts! Ice daggers!" A series of very large icicles leaped up out of nowhere.

Yume jumped clear into the air. "Hey! You broke the rules! Only unconventional spells allowed! Gem Hail!" Yume waved her staff in the direction of Goku, pulling his coronet right off. "Let's seal it with a kiss!" She kissed her hand and blew a kiss at Goku, her kiss appearing as a large pink heart that sped to chain Goku with a new, girlier coronet.

Goku's eyes grew wide as he changed into his demon form. He hissed at everyone around him, but strangely, didn't move to attack any of them.

Yume pointed her wand at Hikara-maki. "Here's an unconventional and extremely stupid spell for you! Hey Seiten Taisen Son Goku! It's a new playtoy! So go to it! A gift from me to you! Break-away!" The new coronet fell off, leaving Goku unfettered.

Hikara-maki went on guard. "How bad could the squirt be? I mean.....he's just a baka saru....right?"

Yume grinned, a finger on the side of her face. "Right...."

Goku raced forward, punching Hikara-maki clear across the clearing they were in.

Yume clapped and threw a strip of something. "Good boy!"

Goku caught it in his teeth and ate it. He smiled, as evil as always.

Yume pointed her staff at him. "Freeze arrow!" She drew a bowstring of red light, letting loose a red energy bolt, right into Hikara-maki's left foot. "Prepare to die!"

Hikara-maki grinned. "Oh yeah?! Gem Hail!" She summoned Hakkai's limiters off. "Chained and bound with love!" Chains of hearts held him down, keeping him from hurting anyone. "Destroy that witch!"

Hakkai lunged forward, blocked by Goku. The two fell to a battle of strength, Goku winning.

Yume laughed. "Go Goku! Knock his face off!"

Skuld blew a whistle. "This isn't going anywhere! And you both broke the rules at least three times each! I pick next duel....and I pick.....hmm......Hey! I know! A singing contest...with Kougaji.....and Sanzo as judges!"

Yume and Hikara-maki looked at their drafted fighters. Yume stroked her chin. "Sounds reasonable. Goku! Go put your coronet back on."

Hikara-maki sighed. "Fine. Go do whatever you usually do.....whatever your name is."

Yume stuck her tongue out at Hikara-maki. "It's Hakkai. Hakkai-san." She waved her staff and changed back to her Japanese outfit with the big red ribbon in the back.

Hikara-maki waved her staff and changed back to her buxom usual goddess outfit. "I'll start. Just because I'm older."

Yume shrugged. "Fine by me. I don't really care."

Hikara-maki waved. "I'm starting now, irregardless of everyone else.

Ah ah ah ah. Ah ah ah ah. I'm giving up on everything. Because you messed me up. Don't know how much you screwed it up. You never listened. That's just too bad, because I'm moving on. I won't forget, you were the one that was wrong. I know I need to step up and be strong. Don't patronize me.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Have you forgotten everything that I wanted? Do you forget it now? You never got it. Do you get it now? Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ah ah ah ah. Ah ah ah ah. Gotta get away. There's no point in thinking about yesterday. It's too late now. It won't ever be the same. We're so different now. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

Have you forgotten everything that I wanted. Do you forget it now? You never got it. Do you get it now? Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I know I wanna run away. I know I wanna run away. Run away. If only I could run away. If only I could run away. Run away. I told you what I wanted. I told you what I wanted. What I wanted. But I was forgotten. I won't be forgotten. Never again.

Have you forgotten everything that I wanted. Do you forget it now? You never got it. Do you get it now? Do you get it now? Do you forget it now? You never got it. Do you get it now? Forgotten. Yeah yeah yeah. Forgotten. Yeah yeah yeah. Forgotten. Yeah yeah yeah. Forgotten. Yeah yeah yeah."

Kougaji just stared. "Why did you just do that?"

Skuld bopped him with a fan. "You are supposed to judge this. So we don't end up like with innocent people dead. Be neutral."

Sanzo held up a large piece of paper with a large black 4 on it. "Your performance sucked. Your song has nothing to do with any life experiences."

Kougaji copied Sanzo, and held up a large 7. "Nice song, poor timing."

Yume flipped her microphone around, sticking her tongue out at Hikara-maki. "My turn!" She did this little dance step as she sung, "I looked away then I looked back at you. You tried to say things that you can't undo. If I had my way, I'd never get over you. Today's the day I pray that we make it through. Make it through the fall, make it through it all.

And I don't want to fall to pieces, I just want to sit and stare at you. I don't want to talk about it. And I don't want a conversation, I just want to cry in front of you. I don't want to talk about it, 'cause I'm in love with you.

You're the only one I'd be with 'til the end. When I come undone, you bring me back again. Back under the stars, back into your arms.

Want to know who you are. Want to know where to start, I want to know what this means. Want to know how to feel, want to know what is real. I want to know everything, everything!

I don't want to fall to pieces, I just want to sit and stare at you. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want a conversation. I just want to cry in front of you. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to fall to pieces, I just want to sit and stare at you. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want a conversation. I just want to cry in front of you. I don't want to talk about it, 'cause I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you, 'cause I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you."

Sanzo held up a 9. "I eavesdropped."

Kougaji idly held up a 10. "Well. Looks like that's all I have to do for now. So I'm going. Good-bye."

Yume stuck her tongue out at Hikara-maki. "Natch that old hag! Back to where you came from!"

Hikara-maki stuck her lower lip out. "Oh come on! Admit it, the whole thing was pretty fun!"

Yume shook her neck. "You...made.....me...look bad...in front of......KOUGAJI!!!!"

Hikara-maki dizzily tried to fend her off. "It wasn't my fault! That transvestite hag wouldn't shut up!"

Yume pulled out a wicked looking instrument out of her pocket. "This is a garrote. You put it around someone's neck and pull this end. The person is strangled to death. I always have one on my person....in case of an emergency. They also double as: dental floss, chain links if you're too cheap to get it fixed, hangers, chain cutters, etc. So natch to you old hag!"

Hikara-maki poked it. "So I go kill the hag, you go suck up to the red haired sexy man?"

Yume blushed ten shades of red. "You could say that..."

Sanzo sighed. "You're going to end up just like your dad."

Hikara-maki leaned against the wall behind Skuld and Urdur. "Now for a more pressing issue. Baka onna! Harahete!" She pointed to her stomach as it growled.

Yume hit her with the paper fan. "Baka megumi-san! URUSAI NO KIRE DESU!" (Stupid goddess, shut up or I'll kill you (roughly))

Skuld tied up her long hair. "I personally doubt you would kill her, considering how impatient the rest of the world can be."

Urdur grinned. "Aye. If Hikara-maki dies, so does death. Must be nice to be the world's first serial killer."

Hikara-maki snorted. "And the first vampire, the first demon female, the first heretic, the first daughter, the first female lover, the first whatever! I don't care anymore!"

Yume sighed and waved. "Sayonara!" She grinned and bwinked out.

Hikara-maki crossed her hands under her ample breasts. "So who's going to feed me?"

Urdur threw the innkeeper in front of Hikara-maki. "There. You're not getting anymore until your other half says you may."

Hikara-maki smiled sweetly and clapped her hands together in front of her in a prayer position. "Ito dakimas!" (Or however it is you spell Goku's way of saying 'thank you for the food')

Sanzo stood in front of the innkeeper's wife and daughter. "This isn't something you want to see."

The innkeeper's daughter raced under Sanzo's arm. "Leave my dad alone!"

Hikara-maki had by this time unhinged her jaw and changed to her demon form. Her nails were massively long, her fangs hideous in her once pretty face. Her face had grown a snout to accommodate her new jaw, and her eyes where open to their full demon potential, revealing the icy blue was stained with black and red blood that changed its pattern constantly. Her irises had changed to a normal demon's, only in the shape of hourglasses. Hikara-maki had grown a long black dragon tail, four extremely large raven wings coming out of her shoulder blades and lower back, the larger the former with the much smaller rudders the latter. Saliva dripped of her fangs, landing on her big cat/eagle claw/paws. She growled, the sound striking more terror in the girl than her entire appearance.

The girl backed away, running into Sanzo. "I'm sorry.....please just ignore me."

The innkeeper's wife slapped her daughter. "Take his place you worthless half-breed!"

True to form, the girl had red hair and eyes like Gojyo's, save more innocent looking.

Hikara-maki bit the man's head off, and moved lightning fast to grab the wife by the hair and drag her to where the innkeeper lay. She ripped them to pieces and ate them, without spilling a drop of blood. She changed back to her normal form and burped. "Excuse me! Gochiso sama!"

The daughter stepped back as Hikara-maki stood up and walked sexily over to her and gently grabbed her chin in her delicate looking fingers. "Please don't eat me..."

Hikara-maki kissed her full on the mouth, her eyes closed. She blinked out.

The girl hovered off the ground, holding her skirt down so none of the Sanzo-ikkou would see her underwear. "KAMI-SAMA TA-SU-KE-TE!!"

Henshin tiptoed forward so no one would see him, and grabbed the girl's ankle, trying to pull her down.

Urdur shook her head and grabbed the girl's other ankle with her bull whip, pulling as hard as she could.

The girl screamed in pain. "Stop it! You're going to pull my feet off! Miss Yume!"

Yume bwinked back in, Kougaji dragged along for the ride since he was holding her hand as if to pull her back to wherever they had come from. "Oro?"

Kougaji dropped Yume's hand, hoping no one had seen that.

Urdur and Henshin let go. "Sumaisen..."

The girl tried very hard to hold her skirt down, and keep Yume from noticing her red hair. "Ta-su-ke-te..."

Yume smiled cheekily. "Why didn't you just say so? I'm guessing Hikara-maki kissed you right after she ate?"

The girl nodded furiously. "Yes now please get me down!"

Yume shrugged. "It's your life."

The girl's red eyes grew wide. "NANI?!"

Yume grinned and mimicked a gun being fired. "You fall without Hikara-maki changing you.....kapow. Your head blows up."

The girl's eyes grew wide. "And how long does this.....last?"

Yume scratched her head. "About......until she's finished deciding how she wants you to be. Give or take another five minutes. You'll be fine. Just don't move when she changes you. Wait...out of curiosity......you got called a stupid half-breed didn't you?"

The girl looked away sadly. "No. I got called a worthless, stupid, clumsy, pestilence, nag, bitch half-breed. You saw it. Why didn't you do something about it?"

Yume slapped the girl. "Because I have moments in life where one of my other lives wants to live too! And when they ALL get pissed off about something, they go tell my original self, who does something. And usually her way of doing things is a hell of a lot worse than what your life was like before then!"

The girl's eyes widened in shock. "Why would.....why would she help me?"

Yume pointed at Gojyo. "My blood father is a half breed. And Hikara-maki....she was born from a single tear of blood, the wind as her mother. She's a demon dragon war goddess. She's the first REAL half-breed. All those after her look the way they do....because half-breeds......always get covered in blood anyway."

The girl smiled sadly. "Thank you though...."

Yume snorted and scratched her head. "It's not like I'm doing anything you wouldn't do yourself!"

The girl wiped tears from the corners of her eyes. "You both are really nice. I don't care what you act like....you really do care about people!"

Yume's eyes glowed for a moment. "Thanks."

Hikara-maki reappeared through a dimensional hole in the wall. "All right! I've come up with something!"

Yume sighed. "If she still isn't a hybrid, I'll kill you."

Hikara-maki blinked. "Not my idea. I'm jacking things from Skuld! So......I...change you.....what the hell is your name anyways?"

The girl blinked. "Me? My name is Alecto. Valkyrior Alecto."

Hikara-maki blinked. "That is one hell of an odd name."

Alecto smiled. "It means I'm a warrior maiden who punishes criminals. So it's not so bad."

Hikara-maki grinned. "All right! Then I bestow upon you the kit of a full blown-"

Alecto intervened. "Amazon! I'd rather be an Amazon!"

Hikara-maki snorted. "Fine then. Amazon. I give the full kit of a full blown Amazon to one Valkyrior Alecto."

Yume snickered behind her hand and snuck off with Kougaji.
