Episode 12: Truth of Love

They were in the road as usual and Sanzo looked irritated up front. Erika was floating above the Jeep laying herself on the air while the two troublemakers were fighting over cards. Sakura had lip alert just paying no attention to them.

"It's look more cheerful than before, na?" Hakkai giggled and Sakura rolled her eyes annoyed. "If you boys really wanna fight, get off the Jeep!" Sanzo declared up front but they weren't listening at him. He turned to whack them but the Jeep collided to a small rock that it headed to the end of cliff. Everyone screamed.

A long black haired lady turned and saw four boys and one girl falling from the cliff. They splashed into the river except Hakuryu and Erika. They were lucky that they were floating and flying.

"That's not fair!" Goku got up from the water screaming at Hakuryu and Erika, "You both can fly!" "You can't blame me!" Erika overruled and cuddled Hakuryu; "I am half dead. Do you want that?" Goku had vertical lines on his face. He turned and saw Gojyo screaming for help, "Gojyo, I didn't know you can't swim."

"Even though you are a Ero kappa," Sakura said out loud with irritated eyes. Gojyo stopped turned to serious looking at her, "I only know how to swim on bed. Do you want me to show you?" She had vertical lines on her face and turned, "No thanks."

"Why don't you two cool down one more time?" Sanzo splashed Gojyo and Goku in the water with veins popping out. Hakkai giggled and Erika was landing beside him with Hakuryu in her arms. They turned when they heard a pretty giggle.

She snapped and apologized, "I am sorry to be rude. You all look so close." Sakura had her eyebrow shot up, "I think you're mistaken." "Don't drag me into them," Sanzo pointed out. "Ma... ma..." Hakkai calmed them down. "For laughing at you, why don't you get cleaned at my house?" The lady suggested.

Erika dried herself in a second and the girl can't see her of course. Sakura walked out from the young lady's room and looked happy, "I am so refreshed." She walked over the girl and thanked her. The girls heard the boys coming out from a room and turned.

"How's the clothes?" She asked and Sakura had her eyes wide open. "Are you guys really you?" She pointed. "Thanks for your hospitality," Hakkai thanked and Erika held on his arm adoring his new look with a different cloth. Hakkai smiled, "But we also like to thank the owner of this clothes."

"Oh it's okay," the lady replied smiling at them, "My name is Shupei. I live with my aunt now." "Now?" Sanzo repeated looking at her. "You look awfully cute, Goku," Sakura pointed at him, "With that football cloth." He blushed. Gojyo tsked.

Goku took a glimpse of the full plates on the dining table and drooled. "Can we eat all this?" "Of course," An thin old woman entered in, "And our appreciation." "What appreciation?" Sakura had her eyebrow shot up. Goku was putting one food to another into his mouth. "Put it on a plate, you saru!" Gojyo yelled from behind.

"I'm stuffed!" Goku held onto his stomach and Gojyo looked at him irritated. "It's been a long time since I saw Shupei's laugh," The old woman said looking relieved. "Why? What made her stop laughing?" Sakura asked looking at her. "Shupei had a boyfriend, a half-breed," She explained and everyone looked shocked, "But he had to leave." Everyone looked serious. "About a year ago, a demon came to this village and Zuei was the only demon that could stop them," The old woman looked down and started a story, "He left this village for Shupei's shake so she won't be murdered by that awful demons."

"Zuei decided to go for Shupei's life and never returned for the past one year," The old woman stopped and everyone looked down. "So this belong to Zuei we are wearing?" Hakkai held on the clothes. "But still..." They saw Sakura looking out the window, where she was drying the wet clothes, "Her laugh are very nice to see..." Everyone looked at her. "She doesn't deserve that..." She looked down with trembling eyes. Erika looked at her, 'You understand her well, don't you, Sakura? Feeling being left out by the one who love you...' Sanzo just glared at her for a moment.

Sakura waited outside the ownerless room where Shupei was folding the ownerless clothes. She leaned on the door, "Nee... I know I shouldn't be bossy but why do have to think and wait someone who had left you?" Shupei looked down and gripped onto the clothes, "What's wrong if I wait and think about him? We love each other, isn't that enough?" She screamed.

Sakura turned at her; "I am not blaming you. Since I don't know the real truth of love, I can't understand anything." Shupei turned at her with tears streaming down her cheeks; "You don't know what we felt for the first time!" 'First time?' Her mind repeated and remembered when she met Sanzo for the first time that her heart quickly was beating like crazy.

"He comforted me and protected me everytime! Isn't that enough to show that he loves me badly?" She screamed and there were more tears. 'Comfort? Protect?' Sakura's mind repeated again and remembered when Sanzo always tell her well advises and protected her when possible. There was a blush. "I love him so much that I'd wait until my life ends," She pointed out and still there were tears.

Sakura nodded, "Yes, I don't know what first love met because I lost my memories." Shupei stopped surprised. "I know I did got this called first love but I don't know to who," There were strands of hair blocking her eyes, "I badly want to know who that comforts me and protects me." "Sakura-san..." She stopped her tears. "But..." Sakura looked up and smiled, "We must always know there are tomorrow, the next day and also future!" Her smile widens, "And I am sure Zuei-san will return for you." Shupei smiled happily and nodded, "Hai and thank you!"

Sakura turned and walked out. She passed by to a figure and turned. He was Sanzo, "Sanzo?" She had a blush and it faded, "Were you eavesdropping?" She was shaking her fist in chibi. Sanzo tsked and walked away, "You're advising others but not yourself?" She stopped and looked down. He was right.

"Eh? There's no more rooms?" Sakura shrieked, as they had to share one room. Erika popped out and held Hakkai's hand, "Do you want me to repeat it a thousand times?" A sweat drop formed behind her head and she walked over the door, "Then, I'll sleep with same room with Shupei-san!" There was a sound of a boomerang from behind and she dodged. She turned, "What are you trying to do?" She was screaming at Sanzo.

"To get you to go to sleep!" Sanzo pointed out and Hakkai was calming him from behind. Sakura steamed and Erika had a smile with a sweat drop behind her head, "Sakura..." It was silent a few minutes later and everyone turned to Sanzo.

"If you are in danger, how are we supposed to help you?" The surrounding looked dramatic and their eyes changed into dotted looking at Sanzo. A gunshot was heard and everyone quickly went to sleep.

Sakura looked irritated on the mattress on the floor. She raised herself up and started shaking her fist towards the bed where Hakkai and Erika were sleeping comfortably. She sighed giving up and hugged her legs. She remembered all the words that Shupei told her. She decided to stand up and walked out.

She looked up at the sky and looked clearly at the sky. "Guess how many stars up there?" All of a sudden there was this voice and she looked left and right. No one was around. Positively it was Sanzo's voice but he was sleeping. A saw a figure behind the wall and she can tell it was guy. He was peeping at Shupei-san's room. She also can tell it's a demon by her own instincts. She was curious and hid herself appearing out her weapon. She stopped when the demon looked very happy to see Shupei. She could read his mind that he wasn't trying to attack.

"I am so sorry, Shupei. I want to return to you but destiny forbids us..." His eyes were trembling looking at Shupei sleeping prettily.

"So are you this called half-taboo, Zuei?" Sakura walked out from the dark and crossed her arms through her chest. He turned surprised. He walked backwards with sweat drops, scared of being caught. "Don't be afraid," Sakura pointed out, "I don't bite." He stopped and Sakura saw this thing on his neck, like a small ring.

'Kill her,' Both of them heard a cruel voice and Sakura put her guard up. 'Kill her!' The cruel voice was louder and she thinks it came from the small ring on his neck. Her eyes widened immensely when he jumped high. She looked up and saw him landing towards her with fangs. She screamed.

"Sakura!" Everyone dashed out and saw Sakura protecting herself with her weapon. The demon was above her. There was a small scratch on her right cheek. She had sweat drops. The demon was strong. Everyone looked at the demon. His eyes were red, his eyes were sharp and her golden hair was spiky. He dodged a gunshot after Sakura was pushed back.

She looked down puffing and Hakkai went over her. "Are you all right?" He looked worried. She looked up at him; "I am fine." Gojyo wailed out his weapon at the enemy. "Don't kill him, Gojyo!" Sakura screamed and everyone turned at her.

"What are you talking about?" Gojyo retorted, "He was attacking you!" "He's Zuei!" She beamed and stood up. They were surprised.

"Zuei?" Shupei was on the door worried yet scared. She looked at the demon; "Zuei... is that you?" Her eyes were trembling bad and there were tears streaming down her cheeks, "I missed you Zuei... for such long time..." The demon stopped with sweat drops looking at her. His eyes looked different and he was trying to move his body, "Shu... pei..."

'Kill them! Kill every one of them!' They all heard this cruel voice and no one of them could tell where it came from. Zuei held on his head feeling pain. He started screaming cruelly. "But Zuei is a taboo and this one is a pure demon!" Goku pointed out; "He can't be Zuei!"

"Zuei... lets go back to where we supposed to be... in love and living together in happiness..." Shupei was crying begging, "I missed the old days..." Zuei looked at her with trembling eyes and it changed into cruel. That scared her. He headed towards her with sharp fangs. Shupei didn't care and shut her eyes calm, "If my death will help you..." There was a sound of bursting blood and it wasn't Shupei.
