CHAPTER FIVE
Sanzo heard the clang of metal as it hit the floor.
That was when he noticed Goku, thrashing about on his bed. The monkey was kicking away his covers (and at Gojyo who was beside him), holding his head, screaming and shouting in pain.
Sanzo quickly ran to Goku's side and knelt by the boy. Gojyo woke up, muttering curses under his breath, Hakkai wide awake, and looking thoroughly worried at Goku.
"Oi, what's happening to the baka saru? Having a fit or something?" asked a bruised Gojyo. The other two remained silent and tried their best to console Goku.
'Shit, what the hell is wrong-'thought Sanzo and noticed the way Goku was holding his head. 'No, he's not holding his head, he's holding his-'Sanzo noticed a glint of gold among the covers and instantly recognized it as a chunk of Goku's youryokyuu Limiter. A large chunk by the looks of it.
Sanzo's eyes widened and the first thing that came into his mind was-
"EVERYBODY OUT!!!" he shouted and sprinted towards the door, forcing it open. Sensing the tinge of urgency in the monk's voice, Gojyo and Hakkai had no choice but to follow suit, leaving Goku alone.
Goku's eyes bulged. He tried to breathe properly but even that seemed quite impossible.
He felt as if something inside him wanted to get out. No, that's not it. It was more like as if somethinginside of him wanting to take over. Goku tried to fight back but it was definitely stronger than him.
Slowly, Goku felt the desire to taste blood, with its strong smell and sharp taste. It was definitely a taste that he loved.
Sanzo was running down the stairs when he suddenly stopped, leaving the two guys behind him stopping abruptly, or they will collide with each other.
"You told us to get out of here right? Then why the hell did you stop for?" cursed Gojyo. He was about to continue on when he saw the reason why Sanzo stopped.
"Dokugakuji? What are you doing here?" asked Gojyo, staring at his half brother, who was suspiciously holding out his sword, ready to attack. Dokugakuji appeared stunned as well and was about to reply when the loudest scream yet broke the atmosphere.
'What in the world is wrong with Goku?' thought Gojyo. Without further ado, he ran back upstairs.
"GOJYO, DON'T!" cried Sanzo and pulled Gojyo's shoulder, stopping him.
"Sanzo, you hear that screaming guy up there? That's Goku. Something's SERIOUSLY wrong with him and you want us to leave him?!" shouted Gojyo.
"If we don't leave him now, WE'LL be the ones who are going to be seriously wrong," replied Sanzo and put his shoreiju in the air, firing two shots. Screams were heard and people started to run out of their rooms. "GET OUT, NOW!!"
As screaming people rushed past them to get outside, Dokugakuji shouted to Sanzo, "What do you mean? Kou's already in you guy's room. What's happening?!"
Kougaiji was entering the room with caution. It was dark but he could hear heavy breathing coming from inside. He had heard shouts, two loud shots, and screams earlier on, as well as the rustles of people's dresses against the floor as they make for the door.
'Dokugaku? Where is he?' he thought nervously and started to look behind him as the clouds cleared a bit and light slowly crept into the room.
He couldn't hold on much longer. There's someone by the door, but Goku could no longer recognize him. As the shadowy image of a man moved closer to him, Goku felt a welling urge to hurt, to kill, and to destroy. He tried hard to contain it, but as the last chunk of the gold Limiter that's clinging to his head fell to the floor, he let the burning sensation to taste blood fill every inch of his body.
"It's you!" snarled Kougaiji as the painful memory of their last encounters seeped in. Curling his fists tightly, he lunged himself forward to attack but stopped short.
'Where the hell is he?' he thought.
Just then, Seiten Taisei appeared in front of him, leaving Kougaiji barely seconds to block. Kougaiji hastily put out his two arms in front, shielding him. The kick hit hard, and Kougaiji was forced backwards but Seiten Taisei launched himself for a combo and hit the blood haired youkai on the head, the impact crashing him against the wall, and out into the open air.
The man with the rabbit toy happily chuckled to himself as he stared at the screen.
"What is it?" snapped a woman nearby.
"It's so interesting, isn't it? All this data here…" said the man, apparently to the rabbit, ignoring the woman.
"I'm checking the magical activity of a certain place. It seems the whole mountain has been buzzing with a lot of it since… hmm, last evening. On such a short notice and already with that lot energy." said the man happily. He stroked the rabbit doll's head a few times before typing something in his laptop.
"So? It's got nothing to do with the Gyumao revival," said the woman, crossing her arms.
"I suppose," shrugged the man and switched off his laptop.
"Kougaiji-sama!!"
"Onii-chan!!"
All eyes were diverted to the limp body that, just a few seconds ago, crashed against a third storey situated floor.
Yaone started to run towards her leader but was stopped by a hold to her right arm.
"What are you doing?! Let me go! Kougaiji-sama needs me!!" shouted Yaone to the blonde monk beside her.
"You'll only give more trouble to Kougaiji!!" yelled Sanzo. Yaone pulled her arm free from his grab but didn't try to go for Kougaiji.
'He's different than before,' thought Sanzo grimly. 'He's definitely way better than the last time we saw him… Could it have been… No, his powers still shouldn't be able to reach this high. It's almost as if there's a generator doubling his powers. '
Seiten Taisei grabbed Kougaiji by the collars and grinned toothily at the demon prince, showing his teeth, stained with blood. 'My blood,' thought Kougaiji and a chill went up his spine.
Seiten Taisei started to lower Kougaiji's neck to his mouth, ready to plunge in to some meaty flesh…
Just then, chains appeared, barely missing Seiten Taisei. Disturbed, the rogue Goku turned towards the attacker.
"Can't let you have all the fun now, can I?" grinned Gojyo, somewhat nervously.
What followed was the clash of steel and claws.
"GOJYO, GET KOUGAIJI OUT OF THERE!!" shouted Sanzo. At that, Gojyo grabbed Kougaiji, who was near to fainting, and ran to safety. The bewildered Seiten Taisei quickly regained his bearings and started to follow them, when a long roll of paper surrounded him.
They had a powerful aura on them, Seiten Taisei hesitated for awhile. Then he felt the ground underneath him giving all the energy he needed. All the energy he needed to overpower the mere paper that's blocking him from his prey.
Sanzo started to chant the necessary incantations to activate the sutra. Suddenly, the flowing Evil Sutra that was surrounding Seiten Taisei bounced off him with a blinding light.
As their eyes grew accustomed to the light, Genjyo Sanzo was the first to see what had happened. Things had taken a turn for a change, and not for the better.
It was too dark… too dark…
He closed his eyes in fear, sweating badly. He was completely blinded, cut out from the world that he lived in.
He hugged his knees and breathed in and out slowly, one at a time, trying to set things straight.
Son Goku helplessly watched the same scenes over and over again.
He was being sentenced by a man, himself crying over and over again, him chained and shackled inside a dark cell, with the earth as his bars. But the most frightening memory of all was the image of the blonde god.
He put a shaky hand on his head to calm himself, but only to find that his youryokyuu Limiter was missing.
As he fumbled around the dark, with the past still running around in his head, he tried to look for it.
Just then, a hand touched his shoulder. Goku looked up, and saw a beautiful woman, with bright gold eyes and fine brown hair. Like the color of the earth.
"No need to look for it… It'll only bind you… Live with me… Stay here… With me…"
Author's Note: The part about that woman was totally off the original script but since
that one didn't make much of a sense (to me); I decided to make a few
changes. Besides, won't this make it more interesting? Haha, I want to
beat Kougaiji more!! -Kougaiji fans arms themselves- Etou, hehe…
Maybe not? Oh, BTW, please REVIEW.
