Tomgirl!
Chap.2
A sob reached Goku's ears, and he pulled away from the group, resting on a hillside for a minute. He trudged through the trees, and saw a boy staring at his reflection in the lake. The boy was…talking to himself.
Yahiko stared into the lake, and saw her. Her pink hair hung down her back, with only a white head band to hold it away from her neck, and a red tank top and jeans. Her pointed ears twitched slightly, her golden eyes narrowed.
"Yahiko, you have no chance of getting rid of me. I am you, remember?"
"No, Yumiko. You aren't." Yahiko sobbed, gingerly stroking one crimson tress. Yumiko frowned back.
"Yes, I am. I am the other side of you, created by that curse. Or rather, as I believe, a blessing. Were it not for that curse, I would never of been born."
"I despise you , Yumiko! I hate this curse! Someday, I'm going to find a way to get rid of you!"
"Even if it means suicide?"
"Even if it means suicide."
Goku had seen crazy lunatics before, but this boy was teetering on the edge of 'not-safe-to-be-around-sane-people'. For a moment, he listened to what the boy was saying.
"Yahiko, you have no chance of getting rid of me. I am you, remember?" The boy whispered in a cynical, feminine voice. Then, in a sobbing, boyish voice, "No, Yumiko, you aren't." He frowned, his face calm now. "Yes, I am. I am the other side of you, created by that curse. Or rather, as I believe, a blessing. Were it not for that curse, I would never of been born." The boy replied in the same calm, feminine voice. His voice raised, he glared at the lake. "I despise you, Yumiko! I hate this curse! Someday, I'm going to find a way to get rid of you!" His voice lowered to the feminine tone once more. "Even if it means suicide?" His voice wavered, becoming a boyish voice again. "Even if it means suicide."
Goku stared for a second, the dashed back to the others.
"Hey, I found a crazy guy over here talking to himself!" The stares he received were incredulous. "I know it sounds weird, but it's true!" He ushered the others over to the boy, who stood up, amazed to see the Sanzo ikkou.
The boy looked relatively normal. He had long crimson hair flowing down his back to his waist, held back from his neck by only a white head band, and he wore a red tank top and jeans. His crimson eyes seemed scared, then narrowed, his voice lowering.
"Well, well, well. It seems our conversation has spawned a few eavesdroppers, eh?" He asked in a somewhat feminine voice. He raise his voice, and it nearly cracked. "Please don't listen to her! Just leave before she really gets out!" He shouted to the group.
"Goku, you're right. This guy is off his rocker." Gojyo pointed to the boy.
Slowly, his hand shaking, the boy pulled out a golden chain, a small yin yang medallion on it, and started to put it around his neck.
"No, you fool. What are you doing, Yahiko, you human idiot!" He shot at himself. "Making sure you sleep for a while, Yumiko." He replied, dropping the medallion onto his neck, and falling to his knees, panting.
"Alright." Sanzo snapped. "What the hell is going on?"
