Chapter 2 THE FIGHT BEGINS

Goku stared at his surroundings. He was in the village, no doubt, for there were food stalls around and there were a lot of people there. On a corner in the village, there was a store selling fried dumplings.

"FRIED DUMPLINGS!" the store owner shouted.

Goku's eyes gleamed. "Fried dumplings!" His mouth watered. He put his hand inside his pocket. It was empty. "Oro!"

The store owner glanced at him. "You want a fried dumpling, boy?" Goku nodded, "But I've got no money, sir." The owner smiled, "Don't worry. I'd give you those for free." And he handed those to Goku.

Goku just accepted those happily. "Thanks, mister." He stared eating those dumplings. "This is my lucky day… and these dumplings are delicious!"

He kept on eating and eating and he didn't notice where he was walking. Because of that, he bumped into an unknown figure. "Sorry, mister. I didn't mean to…"

The figure that Goku bumped to looked up and smiled at him. "It's okay, Son Goku."

"You- you know me?" At the back of Goku's head, thoughts were running about. There's something familiar about that guy. I don't know what… Hey! Wait! That voice… I heard that before. Before I was separated from the others..!

"NYOIBOU!" And at once, his stretching stick appeared and he gripped it. "Where are Sanzo, Hakkai, and Gojyo? Where did you put them?"

The guy chuckled. "We just separated you from them. My companions are also dealing with the rest of the Sanzo-ikkou. And, I'm gonna deal with you, Son Goku."

"Who are you?"

"Who am I? I'm Shinji, one of the disciples of Homura-sama. And I'm the one who will finish you up." And out of nowhere, his weapon, a very big sword, came about and he grabbed it with his stretching arms.

"A sword, eh? Let's see about that." Goku surveyed his enemy and he stopped short. A charka on his head, which means… he's a god. So he really is a disciple of Homura. "Kusu…"

"Let's get started now eh, Son Goku?"

Goku smiled. "Come on. And don't you dare disappoint me…!"

Gojyo found himself on a corner of the street, so empty and quiet. He decided to explore the street and on the end of the path, he saw a bar. He got inside and sure enough it was a place for him. Full of people, and of course, women and beer.

A young blonde lady welcomed him and led him to a seat in the bar. She sat next to him and smiled at him. "Hi. Welcome. May I help you? Or can I serve you with anything?"

Gojyo flipped his red hair back. "A beer please. Thank you." The place was full of ladies. And sure enough, the ladies got near him. But I liked that blonde girl more than them.

The blonde waitress returned with his order. "Here's your order sir…" Gojyo smiled at her. "Gojyo. Sha Gojyo." The lady nodded. "Gojyo. That's a nice name. By the way, I'm Yukina."

"Yukina. Cute." He drank his beer and sighed. He noticed that Yukina had started to get closer to him and he didn't feel interested at all. He sighed again. "This isn't as much fun at all. Doing this with a youkai."

Yukina gasped and sneered. "I shouldn't have underestimated you, Sha Gojyo. You realized that so quickly." She muttered something under her breath and suddenly, a spear appeared. "Prepare for your doom!"

Gojyo got his weapon and sighed. "Oh boy. How come you people don't realize that I wanted to die with a girl. But not in this kind."

"A girl eh? I'm a female, haven't you noticed that? You're too shallow."

"I want to die with a girl in bed, you idiot. And besides, I kinda like those ones who keep playing hard to get." He winked at Yukina.

"Not my type." She flunged her spear to Gojyo but he evaded it easily.

"You're too slow for me. And I won't be defeated that easily."

For an unknown reason for him, Yukina smirked. "Gotcha!" With that, the spear bended and spinned and aimed at Gojyo.

"What the…" A bending spear. A flexible one. She knows my weapon. Well, two can play in that game. He jumped up and thrust his weapon towards the girl's leg but the girl leaped and landed away. Gojyo grinned and sure enough, the chains of his weapon extended and had twisted around Yukina's ankle.

"What the heck!" She struggled out and was fastened on the ground. Gojyo got near her, held up her chin in his hand. "And I thought you were that good."

"That's what you think!" said a voice from above. Gojyo looked up. "Shoot!" He saw Yukina jump from above him and aimed for his shoulder. "Die Gojyo!"

He got away but he was a second too late. Blood was dripping from his left shoulder and he held it. An illusion. It was not her. I shouldn't have underestimated her.

"What do you think of that, Gojyo?"

"Great move. But I'm not done yet. I'm still getting warmed up."

"I hope so for I'd hate it when you die. It's not much fun if you die right away."

"Expect me to die… but not right now!"

Hakkai sighed with Hakuryu on his shoulder. "Oh boy. Now where are the others? Ne, Hakuryu?"

"Ik-kyuu!"

"I wonder what happened to them."

"They are probably dying by now for my companions have been fighting them."

Hakkai looked up and saw a long black haired lady. "Did I hear it right?"

The lady flipped her hair back and smiled. "Yes, definitely, Cho Hakkai."

"How- how'd you know my name?"

"It's none of your business. Now, let's get this started for I'm getting thirsty… for blood." And with that, she licked her lips.

"You want a fight, eh? That's not a good idea. But if you want to…" He made a pose which looked like getting ready for the fight. "Who are you anyway?"

"Who am I? I'm Iza, a disciple of Master Homura and I'm assigned to fight you and lead you to your death." She got her scythe and touched its blade.

"Homura? So Homura sent you?"

She nodded. "Isn't it obvious?"

Hakkai looked at her. A demon. Indeed. He saw her ears and sighed. "Oh, boy." And he also saw another mark on her face. A red mark. A charka. So, she's a goddess or someone close to them. And she's a disciple.

"You got that right."

"You- you read my mind?"

"That's right."

"A mind reader. That's too bad." But he smiled. And put Hakuryu down. "Now, Hakuryu. Just stay put and I'll be fighting this youkai. Okay?"

"That's it. Let's get started."

"IKUSU!" Hakkai stopped and waited for her to make the first move.

The demon smiled. "You're always so kind. Ladies first, eh? You got it!" She got her scythe and flunged it at him.

That scythe must be heavy. She must have under gone long training and I can feel that she's an exoert at that weapon. But there's no way that… He produced an energy ball using his hand and aimed it at her.

Iza sensed his move and jumped up and evaded it. "Sensible. But not enough. Let's see how you deal with this." She grabbed the handle of the scythe, started to turn it around and the things that hit it shattered.

Hakkai produced an energy shield to protect himself from the shattering pieces of wood. "I deal with it pretty well…"

Sanzo walked along the abandoned alley. "Finally those three annoying sidekicks of mine are not here to annoy me." He got his cigarette and lighted it. "Where am I?"

"It's bad for your health to smoke, you know that?"

Sanzo saw a shadow at the end of the alley and stopped. "I don't care. And it's none of your business… youkai." He held out his gun.

"Quite impatient you are, Genjo Sanzo." The figure emerged from the shadows and a demon walked from it.

"I don't like people who judge people so easily."

"So do I."

"So, you're gonna kill me, aren't you?"

"How'd you know that? I'm not surprised why they made you a Sanzo."

"You don't even know half of it."

"And then again, I don't care at all. Because you're gonna die."

"I knew that. Go ahead and try."

"I'd reconsider it if you'll surrender and give me the sutra."

"Surrender? Me? There's np way that I'm gonna do that."

"Thought you'd say that and let's get this started."

Sanzo smirked. "Enough talk."

The demon laughed. "Yeah, because this Honou will finish you up."

"Honou? Whatever."

"Let's get this started, Genjo Sanzo before I lose my patience."

"Hmp."

that's the second chapter. Just about fights and stuff. No big. The next chapter's coming right up… and that's where Son Sanzo comes right in..! Please review! Thanks!
