Deiji, My Dear
Chap.3
"Saru! Wake up!" Sanzo's voice snapped. Goku snapped his eyes open. He was on the ground, where he had remembered falling down the previous night. Hakkai, Gojyo, and Sanzo were crowded around him.
"Goku, did you do something last night?" Hakkai asked, clutching his bandaged wrist.
"…No."
"Then who's your lady-friend?" Sanzo gestured behind him.
In place of the scene made by the summoning was a young woman. She was about Goku's height, if not his height exactly, and had crimson hair which cascaded down her back in a ponytail. On her face was a silk see-through red veil and she wore a silk red tube top and pants. Her ruby eyes sparkled almost…magically. On her forehead was a chakra.
"I don't….know." Goku shook his head. The woman sighed, looking troubled.
"But…someone here summoned me last night." She pouted, rather cutely, Gojyo thought. She glanced at Goku. "It was you!"
"How would you know?" Goku asked. The woman smiled, knelt next to him and brushed aside the boy's copper bangs to reveal a spot on his forehead. It was like a chakra, in its being there, but it looked like a yin yang symbol except that it was yellow and red, not black and white.
"What…the hell is that?" Sanzo demanded.
"I…I don't know!" Goku begged.
"When you summon a deiji, you gain something that marks you as the master of a deiji. And last night, you summoned me!"
"But…."
"And since you're my new master, I guess I'll have to do an intro." The woman stood up and stepped back a bit. She calmly bowed and began. "Greetings, master. I am Tamar, a loyal deiji. My only wish is to fulfill yours. However, I must warn you that one wish cannot undo another, and that none of your wishes cannot affect me. I am in your service." Tamar bowed at Goku's feet.
"Uh…rise?" Goku suggested nervously. Tamar rose to a standing position and pulled Goku to his feet. "Thanks."
"Goku, don't summonings require spell components?" Hakkai asked.
"He got them. Some of them he got from you three. Four if you include your dragon." Tamar stated calmly.
"He what!" Gojyo gritted his teeth.
"He only got what he needed."
"Which was…?" Hakkai hoped to push the question.
"One drop of pure demon's blood, ten hairs from a hanyou's head, one ink impression of a holy sutra, one dragon fang, three belladonna buds, and one drop of a priest's blood." Tamar stated them slowly, so that the three could recognize what she was talking about.
"You deijis sure aren't easy to summon, huh?" Goku rolled his eyes at her.
"Well, we aren't summoned that often. It's rare for a person who wishes to summon a deiji to be traveling with a demon, a hanyou, a dragon, and a priest with a holy sutra."
"So, Goku…." Hakkai glanced at his wrist. "Did you do this?"
"Sorry, Hakkai." Goku hung his head.
"Hey, Tamar." Gojyo called. Tamar perked up at the mention of her name. "How many wishes does Goku get?"
"He gets three."
"I wish for an endless supply of wishes!" Goku teased.
"Isn't there a rule against that?" Sanzo wondered.
"Actually, there is-" Tamar froze. "But I didn't tell you it before you made that wish so the law doesn't apply and-"
"Tamar?"
"Yes, Master Goku?"
"Do all deiji hit their heads against the wall?"
"Only the really lousy ones."
