The Keeper Of Memory
Chapter 1
"Help me Sanzo!" cried a voice.
With a gasp, Genjo Sanzo woke up from sleep. Pausing for a moment to separate the dream and reality, Sanzo took a deep breath.
Slowly he opened his eyes and looked at the side mirror. (A/n: for your information, they are sleeping in the jeep.) There, he saw the reflection of a snoring monkey, blissfully unaware of the pair of eyes that are watching him.
"Couldn't sleep?" said Hakkai.
Sanzo looked away from the mirror. Not looking at Hakkai, he said, "Had a stupid dream."
Hakkai smiled and looked at the back seat. "About Goku?" he inquired.
Silence from Sanzo. Hakkai took that as a yes.
"Well, try and go to sleep please. We have a long day tomorrow," said Hakkai and closed his eyes. Sanzo humphed and took another glance a Goku. Something is troubling the monk, but for once, Genjo Sanzo doesn't know what the problem is.
* * * * *
"Ouch! Stop that bakasaru!"
Gojyo the erokappa put a hand on his head, shooing Goku away.
"How dare you draw things on my face, you darn erokappa!" said a mad Goku with squiggles drawn all over his face. A special round black mark around his eye made him look like he had a black eye. Two snakes like squiggles ran down his cheeks. Words such as 'bakasaru', 'idiot', and 'stupid' were written over his nose, chin and forehead.
Gojyo sniggered. "Ooo, they look really good you! Makes you look brainier than you actually are!" he said and grinned.
Goku pouted and pulled Gojyo's hair.
"Ouch! Stupid bakasaru! That hurt!" cried Goku in alarm and pulled Goku's hands away.
"Serves you right, you red cockroach erokappa!" shouted Goku.
Sanzo cursed and pulled out his shoureijou and shot two times into the air.
"Next time, they'll be inside your puny brains. Don't worry, I wont miss," said a calm-voiced Sanzo. Underneath that, he longed to kill those idiots at the backseat.
Goku and Gojyo stopped fighting at once, almost as if someone had pushed the pause button. "Err, no thank you," they said simultaneously.
Hakkai laughed as if they were all playing a mere game. Gojyo turned to Hakkai and said, "How far are we to a town?"
Hakkai did some quick calculations in his head. "Not far, but we'll have to pass a big mountain first."
Goku put a hand on Sanzo's seat and said, "What? That far? And I'm already sooo hungry. Sanzo, haraheta."
A vein pulsed in Sanzo's temple. He took out his paper fan and quicker than a flash of lightning, hit Goku in the head. "Uruseyo, bakasaru!"
Even though the fan was made from paper, it hit Goku hard.
"Itte!" said the golden-eyed boy.
* * * * *
A pair of divine eye eyed deep into the lake in front of her. She gave a mischievous smile and said, "They are very interesting to watch, aren't they, Nataku?"
Nataku, who was sitting in an armchair, said nothing. His yellow eyes gazed into the nothingness in front of him.
Kanzeon Bosatsu picked a flower from the lake and said, "Unchanging things are so boring."
She looked hard at the pink flower she was holding and closed her eyes, thinking.
"Funny, isn't it? That the four travelers should choose that way to go to the West. Such a choice is a fatal one," said the goddess who doesn't act like how a goddess should act. "But this would be very interesting," smiled Kanzeon Bosatsu. But this smile doesn't contain her usual mocking happiness. This is just an empty smile. As empty as Nataku's eyes.
* * * * *
Gyokumen Koushu blew softly at her painted nails. Kougaiji, her lover's handsome son, stared angrily at her with those blazing eyes of his.
"What is it this time?" asked Kougaiji. He had many things on his mind for now. Ririn wants him to play with her on that day and he had promised that he will. Next, he had to meet up with some youkai from some place he never heard of. On top of all that, he had to meet Nii Jien Yii, his last favorite mad scientist, to discuss about the machine concerning Gyumao's revival.
'And I don't even care about him! The only person I want to revive is hahawe!' thought Kougaiji.
"Well?" he asked again. Why must Gyokumen Koushu pick this day to call him?
The blue haired woman took her time to blowing her nails. She really enjoyed seeing Kougaiji in this manner! He almost looked cute.
"Kougaiji, you do know that the five sutras of Heaven and Earth are a must to revive Rasetsu-nyo, right?" she said.
Kougaiji remained silent. He had heard this many times already. He knew what's going to come out next.
"Kougaiji! I order you to go to the place where Sanzo-ikkou are heading and seize the Evil Sutra!" said Gyokumen Koushu in her bossiest voice.
The red haired youkai turned his back on his father's mistress.
"Where are they now?" asked Kougaiji through gritted teeth. He wouldn't enjoy this trip. Gyokumen Koushu smiled and told him the name of the mountain.
* * * * *
Goku stared in front, wondering what is this feeling that had creeped inside his heart. It was a warm feeling, and Goku suddenly felt so tired, and is looking forward to this place where they were going so much that he wanted to cry out to Hakkai and Hakuryu to quicken the pace. Is he looking forward to go to the West? 'That can't be it,' thought Goku.
Gojyo watched Goku as the monkey gave a deep sigh. 'Something is troubling the bakasaru,' he thought.
Gojyo leaned forward towards Goku and then flicked his forehead. Instantly all the wondering looks left Goku's face.
"You darn erokappa! What do you think you're doing?!!" shouted Goku, his saliva spitting all over.
"Ooo, so that means you want to pick a fight with me, is it? Come on then you bakasaru!" smirked Gojyo.
"Don't call me that you red cockroach!" shouted Goku.
Sanzo put his hand across his face. Hakkai laughed and said, "Now, now children. Please don't fight."
"But Hakkai." said Goku and Gojyo simultaneously.
Suddenly Goku went stiff. Gojyo, sensing his companion's feelings asked, "What is it?"
Goku didn't answer. He couldn't. Suddenly he remembered many things at once. Him eating peaches, eating with Sanzo, Hakkai and Gojyo, Homura, his first meeting with Kougaiji, Sanzo hitting him with a fan and lots of other stuff.
'What's happening?' he thought.
"Goku, what's the matter?" Hakkai asked. No answer. He gave a glace at Sanzo and found him eyeing the back mirror, looking at a shocked Goku.
All the while, the mountain in front of them grew ever nearer.
* * * * *
Dokugakuji looked over the binoculars that he was holding. Kougaiji appeared beside him and said, "Where are they?"
Dokugakuji looked ahead. "They are quite in front of us. But don't worry, Hiryu will get us there first," he said. Kougaiji followed his gaze.
"Oniichan!"
Kougaiji looked back with a look of astonishment and amusement on his face. There stood his half-sister Ririn. She was putting both hands on her hips and she looked puffy. 'Well, she always looks like that when she's angry,' thought Kougaiji with a little smile.
"What is it Ririn? You're not supposed to be here you know," said Kougaiji.
Ririn puffed up a bit more and said, "Well, you promised to play with m today!"
Kougaiji took a step towards Ririn and put a loving hand on her head. Ririn stopped looking angry and looked up at Kougaiji. Their eyes met. Ririn suddenly flashed a smile at Kougaiji. Kougaiji returned the smile and said, "After this. I did promise after all."
* * * * *
Sanzo aimed and shot. The bullet went straight into the youkai's left eye. "Go and practice some more. A lot more," he said.
Goku jumped up and down as the youkai attacked him with his long nails. Suddenly Goku was behind the youkai and his staff met the youkai's back. The youkai's first reaction was to scream out loud and then his soul went under.
"Why must they always scream like that? I think we should buy earplugs," said Gojyo and casually stabbed a youkai that was attacking him.
Hakkai smiled at him and said, "Good idea."
* * * * *
Kanzeon Bosatsu smiled. They are fascinating to watch.
"Too bad, they don't exactly know where they are going to." she murmured.
* * * * *
"At last," sighed Hakkai as he drove Hakuryu up the hill.
"Hakkai, what is the name of this place?" asked Goku.
"Eh?" said Hakkai and looked at the back mirror to see Goku. Sure, Goku has been curious a lot of times but he was not known to be asking for names of places.
"Name of this place!" shouted Goku, this time louder, in case Hakkai has grown deaf.
"Not so loud, bakasaru," shouted Sanzo.
"Erm, I think it's called Mountain Chaka," said Hakkai after a thought.
The name suddenly sent chills down Son Goku's spine. He had heard that name somewhere. Surely, he had. But where? Goku clenched his and thought hard. No good. It's as if something was blocking his memory.
"Goku, are you alright?" asked Hakkai with concern. Gojyo looked at Goku with a look on his face that says, "I gotta help this guy before his candle goes out! But how? Somebody tell me how!"
Even Sanzo doesn't look very calm himself. His head was turned towards Goku and his eyes were wide as he watched Goku.
'Shit,' thought Sanzo.
Goku held his head in between his hands. 'It hurts, help.' thought Goku helplessly. But still he wants to find that piece of memory containing Mountain Chaka. He knew it had been very important to him once. Suddenly, he lost everything. The pain left him and so did his consciousness.
"Goku!!!"
* * * * *
Dokugakuji looked through the binoculars and saw that Sanzo-ikkou was in trouble. But it seemed to be with somebody inside the party, not outside.
"Is anything wrong?" asked Yaone. The sweet-looking chemist youkai looked at the place where Sanzo-ikkou should be. But the trees blocked her view.
"Well, I'd say everything is wrong to them but this'll be an advantage to us, I guess. Tell Kou we should attack now," said Dokugakuji. Yaone nodded and left. Dokugakuji sighed and looked around. 'This place,' he thought, 'is making me recollect the memory of the past.' But then he stopped and gave a little smile to himself and said out loud, "It's just a dumb mountain. How can it draw out memories?"
"Some places have more magical properties in them," said a voice from the shadows.
Dokugakuji turned and saw his master, whom he loyally served. "Oh, it's you, Kou," he said.
Kougaiji gave no reply but said, "So, you're saying we should attack now?"
Dokugakuji nodded. That was all Kougaiji needed.
* * * * *
"Hang in there, Goku," said Hakkai.
Gojyo touched Goku's forehead with the back of his hand and said, "Well, it's not fever." He looked at Sanzo and saw the young monk closing his eyes. 'How can he sleep at a time like this?' thought Gojyo.
But Sanzo wasn't sleeping. He was thinking. He opened one eyes. He couldn't see much because he didn't open it very big, but he doesn't exactly need to see. He could feel. The trees around them, they were swaying side to side as if they were excited little kids. And the sky, it looked so bright and blue. It's as if the place is happy,
Suddenly the jeep stopped sharply. Sanzo opened both eyes. Through the mist he saw four figures. 'Shit,' thought Sanzo.
"Give us the Evil Sutra!" said Kougaiji. Ririn nodded and grinned. But then she stopped when she noticed Goku. "Hey, what's wrong with him?" she asked, pointing at the unconscious Goku.
"Please, we have no time to fight now. We need to get Goku to a nearby doctor. Or if you could, Yaone-san, please check him for us. Please," said Hakkai with an earnest urgency note in his voice.
Yaone looked at Kougaiji with a pair of nervous eyes. The Sanzo-ikkou had helped her many times and she should be repaying them by helping them. But will Kougaiji-sama agree?
