Chapter 8: The Celestial Dragon's Necklace
At the world above, Kanzeon was watching at the Sanzo-ikkou traveling together with the three Li sisters and Shi Hikki at her Lotus garden. Kanzeon smiled at them when she saw at the black haired girl and the cat.
"I see that you've found them at last, Shi Hikki, Rika." She said
"Kanzeon Bosatsu, are you still watching down the below again?" said her right man Jiroushin.
"Of course she is, Jiroushin." Reply a kind woman.
Kanzeon looked at the woman. The woman has long brown hair with pair of deep purple eyes. She was wearing white dress just like Kanzeon but her celestials' clothing's were far more attractive than hers.
"Oh I didn't know you were here all along… Kaoru." She said.
"Well I've been here awhile ago, Kanzeon-san." Kaoru told her with a smile.
Kanzeon looked at Kaoru, and then she sighs softly and looked at the lotus's water where it was showing the images of the Sanzo-ikkou, the Li sisters, Rika, and Shi Hikki. And Kaoru saw it too, but her face turns sad as she saw the 3 Li sisters.
"I believe that Hikki-chan and Rika have found them." She said.
"Yeah." Jiroushin answers, "Kedo… Do you think it's better if we should restore their memories right now?"
"No. It's better to let them find their memories on their own than to give it." She said, and she looks at Kaoru, "Isn't that right, Kaoru?"
"Yes it's better to let them do it on their own." She answers as she goes back staring at the images again.
Kaoru watched at Sai, Reijyo, Kairi and Rika's happy face with the Sanzo-ikkou and Hikki. The woman has a sad look as she saw the three Li sisters.
"Kairi… Sai… Reijyo…" she mutters.
In the World below
"Anoyaruu!" Sai shouted in the top of her lungs, which causes to make Hakkai and Rika to stop.
"Doste to, Sai? (What Happen?) Is there anything wrong of it?" Gojyo asked the sky blue haired girl curiously
"Reijyo has just pulled my hair twice, and she hasn't apologized to me!" Sai shouted while pointing at the red head girl.
Then they all fell down in anime style with a major sweat-drop, while Sanzo just sit up in his seat with few veins popping were appearing on his head. And for Rika, who was in her dragon look-a-like form, just shook her head.
"That girl hasn't change at all." She whispers.
"Ne Rika-chan." Kairi called.
"What is it, Kairi-sama?"
"I've been wondering to asks you if you know of our past, 'coz when the first time I saw you. I thought I know you somewhere before." The brown haired girl said. "And not only that you also seem to recognize me."
"I… umm… It's because you resemble the person I know years ago. She died from a crossfire." Rika lied, "But that was in the past right now…"
"I see…" Kairi said looking disappointedly.
Rika knew to herself that she was lying to the young brown haired girl just for the first time. Yet it really hurts her for hiding from the young kid even though she knew herself if she just tell her the truth it would really confuses her and her sisters.
"I'm really sorry, Kairi-sama. But this is what I have to do…" she said. "It's for you and your sisters' own sake."
Hikki was staring at the sky while she was in deep thoughts recalling on the incident of Reijyo's control and the strange black turtle spirit that has appeared in front of their eyes. Hakkai noticed at the raven black haired girl's gaze.
"Dosta no, Hikki-chan?" Hakkai asked her worriedly.
"Ah it nothing, Hakkai. It's just that I was wondering what was that black thingy from Reijyo." She lied.
Hakkai could tell that Hikki was lying to him, but he didn't keep on the asking since he saw something that makes her sad. She was really sad, as she really doesn't want to talk about it.
"You can tell me anything as long as I'm here next to you, Hikki-chan." Hakkai reminded her.
Hikki couldn't help herself but to stare at Hakkai then she smiled at him, "Yes. Thanks Hakkai." She said.
-In the Demon's Realm
Kougaiji's stepmother the so-called queen of the demon called, Gyoukumen, summoned Kougaiji. The sly foxy woman was sitting in her usual seat that looks so calm.
"Why do you summon me?" he asked her.
"My, my. You're still impatient as always. The reason why I summon you that I receive some new information that one of our comrades had gathered." She announced.
"And what's the news?" Kougaiji said.
"That there are 4 girls in their group and a strange creature that looks like a neko(cat) and it could transform into a large dragon-a-like. They said that one of the fours is the goddess." She said.
"And your point?"
"My point is to target this so-called Goddess in Sanzo-ikkou's group most be very helpful to revive my beloved husband. And of course I'll help you reviving that beloved mother of yours." She said.
"… As you wish." He said.
Kougaiji left the room, still angered at that foxy woman even though he gave his answers to her. The anger still lingers on his mind as he still hated that damn woman s much.
"I swear I'll do anything to bring back my mother." He had sworn himself.
-Back to the Sanzo-ikkou
They were now camping at out at the forest. Everyone have agreed that they'll sleep on the ground except for one person who doesn't seem to like the idea…
"NO! I DON'T WANNA SLEEP IN THIS PLACE!" Sai shouted at Sanzo.
"It's better than journey out to find the next village." He argue yet too calm.
"Iyada!" she yelled.
"It looks like Sai-neesan could still act like that." Young Kairi said.
"Yep you could say that." Goku agreed.
"Demo doesn't those two act like wife and husband?" Rika suggested out loud.
The companions have heard what Rika have just said. They all stared at the calm neko who seems to be getting nervous at the word that she said just now. Hikki on the other hand doesn't seems to be surprise at what the neko said, instead she gave out a small sighs.
"What?" she said.
"No really?" Gojyo said.
"Well… maybe what Rika just said was true… I mean look at them." Reijyo said.
Everyone looked back to the scenes where Sai and Sanzo are still arguing yet their voices are getting on higher and higher, which really could hear what they were saying. Everyone stared at them with few sweat-drop that were rolling down from their heads, while Rika gave out a pain look.
"See, what Rika really meant it." Reijyo said.
"I really don't seem to agree…" Hakkai said.
"Just let them be. Hey Kairi-sama, Reijyo, help me with the cooking. Gojyo, Goku you could collect some useful fire woods. And Hakkai, Hikki please keep an eye with Sanzo and Sai." Rika instructed them.
"HAI!" they answered.
Everyone got in their job that Rika gave them to do while Sai and Sanzo are too busy fighting against at each other's strong hatred. For hours later, Sanzo and Sai are still in cat and dog fighting scene, while the others are doing their own business on preparing dinner. Yet they all noticed that Sanzo and Sai have been arguing for the last hours.
"Oi, aren't they done yet?" Reijyo asked them.
"Nope, they've been arguing after three in the half hours." Rika answered calmly.
"THAT LONG?" Gojyo yelled surprisingly.
Kairi looked at her sister then to Sanzo with her cute curious expressions that was on her face. Then she bent down to Rika.
"But you know I bet they might get married." Kairi whispered at Rika's ears.
"You're right." The cat answered with a pain look as she could barely imagine what Kairi said.
"Ne Kairi, you seem to be holding Rika very much." Said Goku curiously,
"He's right… Want something to share with us?" Hakkai asked.
"Well… Rika said that she was comfortable sleeping on my lap. So I kindda agree to that." The girl answered.
"HONTO? THEN CAN I SLEEP ON YOUR LAP?" shouted Gojyo looking too excitedly.
Rika hit the red haired man's head with a long cut down log that she had found. "Never do that, pervert." She said.
"URASAI, KONO KITSUNE ONNA!" Sanzo yelled.
Everyone got surprised at the corrupted monk's high tone voice yet what they got shocked that he had called Sai a fox. Even the blue haired girl, Sai was shock at this yet this angers her so much at the name.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?" she yelled.
"I said, KITSUNE ONNA." He yelled at her again.
"THAT'S IT! YOU'D BETTER TAKE THAT BACK!" Sai yelled once again.
"Okay that's enough fighting you two." Rika stopped them in the middle of them.
"You all must take a break now. If you all wanna die." Hikki told them.
"FINE!" Sai shouted.
The short hot-tempered girl turns her back and goes away from the group. Young Kairi stared at her sister and gave out a small sighs.
"Mataku… when will you and Sai ever stop fighting?" Rika asked Sanzo, "You guys remind me of some old couple I know years long ago."
Everyone except Sanzo stared at the neko with weird looks on his or her faces. Rika noticed at their expressions then pair of sweat-drops was starting to appear above her head.
"What?" she asked them.
"No… REALLY? HOW MANY YEARS DID YOU LIVED?" Kairi asked her.
"I just said 'long ago', so probably… fifteen years?" the cat answered.
"FIFTEEN YEARS? YOU'RE NOT EVEN THAT OLD!" Gojyo and Reijyo shouted.
"I thought cats have nine lives…" Goku whispered.
A large vein-popping started to throb on the cat's head, "YOU THINK I'M GOING TO DIE THAT SOON?" she yelled at Goku.
Without any suspect, Rika have kicked so hard at Goku's hiney, which goes on flying in the sky. Everyone stared at poor Goku in the sky, then he came back soon as she lands on the ground… on top of Kairi.
"Next time try not to piss her more." Hikki said. "I think you already made her angry for now.""Yeah…" Hakkai agreed. "So how long are you going stay on top of Kairi, Goku?"
Goku finally got himself up and rubbed his aching spot where Rika have hitted him so hard. He stared at Hakkai confused at what he just said, and then he looked down. He was on top of the long brown haired girl.
"Anou…" Kairi whispers.
Flames' starting to appear around the cat's body as she saw Goku was on top of the young girl. Bad timing? Yap… this is a very bad sign for the monkey boy.
"Oh-oh…" Reijyo whispered, "You're in trouble now, monkey boy."
'SPAK'"NEVER DO THAT AGAIN TO KAIRI-SAMA, GOKU!" Rika yelled again as she sends him another flying kick.
"Whoa… I never thought Rika would be that strong." Gojyo impressed at the cat while watching where Goku flies to.
"I think he really deserve it for doing like that." Said Sanzo.
"Ara… ara… don't be mean like that." Said Hakkai.
-To Sai
Sai couldn't help herself but to hold her necklace that was around her neck. She surely knows that she and her sisters doesn't know any of their past nor about their true identities. Sai closes her eyes trying to recall on something that might gives her some clues, but her hope doesn't come. Everything was blank and nothing comes out on her mind.
"What are we?" Sai whispers softly.
Far away from where Sai's sitting and staring at the sky, Sanzo was there watching at the blue haired girl's beautiful gaze. Wait a minute did he just said that Sai's beautiful? Sanzo shook his head violently trying to remove his thoughts about Sai. And he went back to the campsite.
"You were worrying on Sai, ne Sanzo?" Someone said.
Sanzo had his eyes shut, "Why should I worry that kitsune, Hakkai." He said.
Hakkai couldn't help himself but to smile at the ignorant blonde haired lad then he looks at the silent and beautiful long blue haired girl who was busily herself staring at the vast sky.
"But you should at least open your mind just for awhile…" he told him.
Sai wanted to summon her favorite weapon and started to attack the youkai, but she felt something have stopped her motions. Her visions are staring to blur out and weird pictures of some unfamiliar events appeared on her mind. The memories that she had never see have started to scare her.
"NO. NO!" she yelled.
"What's the matter, Sai?" Reijyo asked her sister.
Reijyo neared at the small blue haired girl but something seems to activate on Sai. The old necklace has transformed into a dragon shape-like and suddenly changes different colors as it was trying to find a perfect color. Then a strong blue ki comes out of Sai's body as it was like it causes to blow out. Then it kills some of the youkais and some were being crushed on.
Sanzo stares at the uncontrollable sky blue haired girl. From what he had seen at Sai was totally different from what happen to Reijyo. Sai has blue aura that was coming or showing out of her body. Her eyes were no longer purple eyes but shiny blue eyes like she was posses or something. Everyone was shock to see Sai's strange form.
"Sai-neesan!" Kairi yelled at her sister.
But nothing has reached her voice to her dear sister.
Everyone have tried their very best to find a way to calm her down, but there's no luck or any hope for them. Sai was totally outrage of sadness, and anger. Then Sanzo noticed something's really strange on Sai's necklace. Sai's jewel turned into light blue but from what he last saw her necklace was deep blue like the ocean also it turns into a dragon shape around the jewel. Rika also noticed at the Sai's necklace then she recognizes at its appearance. So as Hikki.
"That necklace… it can't be it?" Hikki exclaimed.
"What's the matter, Hikki-chan?" Hakkai asked her.
"I believe that necklace that was on Sai's neck is not an ordinary necklace it was called, 'The Celestial Dragon's Mood'." Rika said.
"A WHAT?" Kairi yelled.
"The Celestial Dragon's Mood has a very strong and forbidden powers that lies in that necklace for thousand years. And it can't be given to any person either a youkai or a human or even the Gods and Goddesses. But what I really don't understand is why and how Sai got that necklace?" Hikki explains for Rika.
"That's nice but do you have any idea how to stop her that control?" Gojyo yelled as he handles his battle with Sai.
Rika just shook her head sadly, "I'm afraid even I have the knowledge of this thing. I have no clue how that thing was activate or how to deactivate." The cat replied.
Hakkai turned just to ask Hikki about that Dragon necklace but unfortunately the girl just shook her head very sadly as she looks at Sai's eyes. Sanzo was watching at the fight of his comrade against the uncontrollable blue haired girl. Then he stepped out and neared her.
"Oi! Bouzo! Just what the hell you think you're doing!" Gojyo yelled.
"Trying to teach this little weasel how to behave itself." Sanzo answers.
"But if you do that, Sai-neesan might kill you!" Kairi shouted.
"Let Sanzo do that job, Kairi-sama." Rika told the young girl.
"But he…"
"Let's trust that corrupted monk." Gojyo suggested.
"Sanzo may be cold but he has a heart, somewhere." Goku said.
Both of them fought each other in bare hands and martial arts. Sanzo was really amazed how strong the blue haired girl could really be when she was in a killer mode or something. But this doesn't makes him satisfied to the girl's techniques.
"Oi! You'd better wake up now, weasel girl!" he yelled.
But nothing comes out for Sai. She was totally under the spell of The Celestial Dragon's Mood command and she could not hear the voices but she could only hear the strange voice that was on her necklace.
"Ch'! I guess there are no other options." He muttered.
Sanzo took out his shourei gun from his robe and he was ready to aim at Sai's head before he could give out a shot at her. An image appeared from above Sai's body. It was a blue dragon that looks so mythical and beautiful that he had ever seen. But wait a minute why there's a blue dragon above Sai, unless… he thought.
The blue dragon was still above the uncontrollable blue haired girl, everyone are seeing the mysterious blue dragon that was floating above Sai. Kairi and Reijyo were very surprised to see such beautiful blue dragon that was on their sister, yet for somehow they were curious at that strange mythical creature presence in their sister's body.
"Why does Sai-neesan have one too?" Kairi whispered.
"Was that Seiryuu?" Reijyo questioned to herself,
"That's not possible… How on earth does Seiryuu got in Sai's body?" Goku asked. "Not to mention that Reijyo has Biyakku on her."
"DON'T TELL ME THAT!"Hikki and Rika were also watching at the strange blue dragon. For them they looked so serious, as they seem to know much about the blue dragon above Sai's body.
"It seem that Sanzo must have figure out." Hikki whispered.
"Let's all hope that he knows what he's doing…" Rika wished,
"So what do you have to say, Sai?" he asked her.
"I have… nothing." The blue haired girl answered,
"Really? You must stop what you're doing right now or everyone would worry on you." Sanzo told her,
"No one cares about me. No one.." said Sai. "I'm just a nobody…"
"THINK ABOUT IT CAREFULLY, KONO BAKA KITSUNE!" Sanzo yelled. "YOU THINK YOU'LL GIVE UP YOUR FUTURE THAT EASILY? THEN THAT WOULD BE MEANINGLESS!"
With that, Sai's purple eyes burst out some tears as she have regain her consciousness back once again. She was crying indeed, yet she looks too beautiful in her eyes.
"Atashi wa…" she said.
Sai says no more words instead she collapse down. Then Sanzo held the unconscious blue haired girl on his arms. Sai has finally has her sense back yet she was too tired for that trouble she had caused so much. Everyone were awe to see how the corrupted monk did his job on the blue haired girl.
"It looks like another one have awaken…" Rika whispered. "Hikki…"
Hikki looked too scared at it. The cat was very surprised to see the raven haired girl looked terrified at something, yet this is the first time she had seen her like that before.
"Hikki… are you still afraid of that creature inside of you as well?" the cat whispered in her mind. "Are you still afraid being like that too?"
Rika turned her gaze to Kairi and Reijyo who were still confused yet they're mostly shocked at the event that they've just witnessed it all. And then she turned her gaze to Goku, Gojyo and Hakkai.
"Those three including Genjo Sanzo… they looked the same as I've known them. Although their memories from their previous lives were being erased, but this may be a better chance to fall in love again." Rika said to herself, "And also Goku… he may have the key to open her heart again. But this may take some time…"
-Back in the Upper World
Kanzeon, Jiroushin and Kaoru have all watched every battle that the Sanzo-ikkou have done. Even the battle with Sai who has the Celestial Dragon's Mood, and the awaken spirit of a blue dragon that was coming out from Sai's body.
"First the Black Turtle and now the Blue Dragon… Looks like things are getting on what time was expected…" Jiroushin suggested.
"Yep and it seems that Sanzo did pretty well on saving little Sai." Kanzeon said with a smile.
"Yes… I would never think that Celestial Dragon's Mood has been hiding on Sai's necklace all these years." Kaoru said.
Kanzeon looked at Kaoru who seems to be a little guilty yet sad at something that she had done. And Kanzeon seems to know what she was thinking.
"It was you wasn't it?" she said. "You're the one who gave that necklace back there."
Kaoru didn't answers at Kanzeon's question, and the raven black haired woman just kept quiet and gives up.
