Episode 20: Forest 2

It was late at night and the Sanzo Party weren't asleep yet, well at least Sakura was. Everyone shared the same sweat drop when she was snoring on the ground in chibi as well as drooling. No one can blame her because she was tired of thinking. Eventually she doesn't have anything in her mind that was why Sanzo called her the 'empty headed container'. Not just empty, she doesn't even have her memories in it. Sanzo had bold red veins popping out from his temple ready with his paper fan. Hakkai tried to calm him down.

Goku on the other hand was staring the fire cracks. He doesn't seem to be asleep because he felt that the forest was dangerous, he already knew Gojyo must already captivated. No matter how idiot he looked like, he eventually had a brain inside that tiny little cute head unlike Sakura's brain on that time. Abruptly Sakura's eyes were opened wide and Goku crashed on the ground, terrified and surprised after a scream.

Sakura blinked twice and Sanzo kept looking at her. What was with her? Up in the middle of the night? Sanzo looked a bit concerned now, "What's the matter?" Sakura blinked again and her eyes were narrowed. Erika and Hakkai had a serious look, might Sakura thought of something? Everyone was impatient.

Sakura's mouth suddenly opened wide and started yawning, stretching her arms up, with tears at the end of her eyes, "That was a good sleep!" Everyone crashed down and the forest bounced once, Hakkai as an exception, he had sweat drops though. Sanzo was getting angry now and gripped his paper fan tight with more veins popping out, "What do you mean 'that was a good sleep', you stupid empty headed container headed cat?"

Sakura titled her head aside and smiled, "You looked like you cared…" Sanzo snapped and they all paused looking at Sanzo. The night cold wind passed by and signs of blushes were on his cheek. He was speechless and turned with a tsk. He headed back to his branch seat, he felt awkward for the first time in his life. He never cared someone before, he doesn't seem to care of what Goku do but why did Sakura said that he cared; about 5 minutes ago or something else?

Sakura stood up and looked up the sky. Her expression changed a moment later, she loved the stars, and she felt they were protecting her. She snapped the next thing she realized something. She stomped and smokes were coming from her nose like a cow, "Who you calling empty headed container headed cat, you old illegal monk?" She was in front of him and he fought back. Everyone shared the same sweat drop and sighed. They can not ever stop them. Erika looked different later and smiled. Unfortunately, compare to her relationship with Homura, it went smooth with someone they knew well: Konzen Douji.

The night was clean and there was a sound of grumbling. Devastated Gojyo was still strangled on the tree, with a crooked and disgusted look, "Ah… I don't want to complain or mimic, but I am very hungry…" A sweat dropped down on his temple. The second sweat was dried by the girl with a dry towel. Gojyo looked at his right temple and she looked like she was enjoying that he was with her, at least Gojyo thought so.

"So girl, what's your name?" Gojyo asked her nicely, "It's a bit rude if I just call you little girl…" She looked down and looked at him with a smile, "Midori-chan is fine." "Mi-do-ri-chan ka?" Gojyo's eyes were narrowed, observing this girl, the name was very familiar. Who exactly was she?

"Onii-chan, are you hungry?" She asked and looked at the branches, "You can let go of him now; he won't hurt you." They rejected by moving some of its branches. Her expression changed and there were tears, "Why? Why do you dislike my brother? I thought you would listen to me! I am your friend!" Her lips started shaking, "I want to be with Onii-chan… what's wrong with that?"

"Midori Miori," A voice was heard and Gojyo pondered where it came from. Midori looked at her right shoulder. It was a small form of an Elve, its head was green while his body was brown, it looked merely like a baby doll tree. Gojyo's eyes were narrowed; this thing was controlling the trees all along, not Midori! "Sha Gojyo is one of the Sanzo's Party, he will eliminate us sooner or later!"

"No!" Midori scream was loud and the moon was full, "Onii-chan will not! He will not kill us because I know him!" Gojyo's eyes opened wide, why does she trust Gojyo that much? They just met about 6 hours ago. Why can't Gojyo remember her?

It was early in the morning and still they were stuck middle of the forest. Erika had a disgusted look, looking at, to her, a path. She knows the others could see it was blocked. She bit into her clothes, feeling stupid and distressed. She wants to tell them. Hakkai had a sweat drop behind, wondering only God knows what Erika's doing. She turned and her hair flung around, "That's it!"

Everyone looked at her with huge eyes, "What's 'it'?" Sanzo, Sakura and Goku's eyes were narrowed and small. They looked lost and for the first time, Erika had veins popping out, nearly exactly similar like Sanzo. Hakkai can tell she was pissed at something and a sweat drop formed. She flew towards Sakura and grabbed her collar. Sakura eyes widened and screamed after a gasp just as Erika pulled her directly to the 'blocked' path.

"Erika!" Sakura started whining, "I didn't mean to make you mad! Don't 'kill' me!" She started crying like a baby, assuming that Erika was planning to hit her to the tree. Erika didn't reply: she was still angry! Sakura tried her best to move away but Erika was way stronger and powerful than her. Sakura's eyes widened: just as Erika was heading the path closer and closer. "NO!" She passed by the 'tree'.

The boys blinked twice. They didn't hit the huge tree! The boys looked each other and immediately followed from behind. They passed the illusion barrier at last.

The small 'Tree' looked up and had narrowed eyes, "They broke the barrier!" Midori gasped, they will steal her brother again. Tree looked up at her, "So what are you going to do? Let them get your brother and you'll be alone once again?" Its eyes were scary and evil. Midori bit her lips; she don't want to hurt her brother's friends.

She nodded after a short decision. She looked at Gojyo smiling, "Onii-chan, please wait here! I have some errands to do!" She flew away, "I won't let them take onii-chan away from me… again…"

-

"Waah!" Sakura was a bit proud of Erika now and stood still. She tried to concentrate if it was illusion or not. She had irritated eyes and sweat drops a moment later, why does it feel every path were opened wide? And all this time they were tricked. Sakura gripped tight, she felt awkward; why can't she think of that since the beginning? She followed Erika from behind with Goku.

They marched faster behind Erika and their noses hit the tree. Sanzo and Hakkai shared the same sweat drop behind with their eyes wide, "Uh?" Both Sakura's and Goku's noses were bleeding with swirls in their eyes on the ground. Erika popped out from the tree with an innocent smile, "Oops, I am sorry. I can go through trees…" Sanzo crashed down while Hakkai felt a bit foolish with a giggle.

Hakkai tried to lift Goku up while Sanzo stared Sakura on the ground with irritated eyes, "Oi wake up!" She blinked and rubbed her nose. She looked up and saw something pass by. She tilted her head aside while a vein popped from Sanzo's temple and kicked her in chibi. "Stop day-dreaming! You have enough dreams all night!" He said bluntly.

Sakura immediately revived and looked up the sky. She pointed up and everyone looked lost. Her eyes were narrowed; she felt an attractive yet powerful aura. Where did that feeling come from? Erika absorbed Sakura and thought, 'I guess she can feel it too…' She smiled on her own.

Sakura looked straight upfront expressionless, the wind started blowing her long hair. She lifted her right arm and pointed the path direction just right in front of her, "Here…" Hakkai smiled and followed behind with Goku and Erika. Sanzo, on the other hand, stood there alone, with his eyes blocked by his blonde fringe. Veins popped out from his temple, with his teeth clenched together, why does Sakura have higher ability than him?

-

Gojyo sighed on the tree and grinned devilish by his own, "I guess they left me already…" He started whistling; he doesn't have anything to do but the branches behind and his sides were getting persistent, as if they wanted to beat him up. What grudge do they have towards human anyway? They won't do anything if Gojyo was still protected by that Midori girl.

"Found you, Gojyo!" He heard a familiar voice and looked down the land with his eyes opened wide, "Sakura?" He saw Sakura smiling, excited and the others behind her looking up at him. He couldn't imagine they would search for him, for what he did. He snorted, "I didn't know you cared, Sakura-chan. As a return, I'll stay with you all night!"

Sakura had vertical lines on her face, it sounded disgusting, "No thank you, I rather die…" A paper fan boomerang immediately returned back to Sanzo after it was properly hit on Gojyo's face. "Say Gojyo," Sakura snapped and looked up again, "What are you doing up there?"

Gojyo laughed out loud, "I am playing hide and seek!" Veins exploded out from his forehead; "Not! What do you think why I am doing here?" He shut his eyes clenching his teeth, "Do you know how longed I have waited?"

"Ho…" Sanzo's annoying voice was heard, "So you can't escape by yourself?" He rubbed his nose, "The great Sha Gojyo is weak and useless after all." More veins popping out just after Goku and Sakura started discussing what they should do for Gojyo. Hakkai and Erika were smiling and giggling together.

"Will you get me down, please!" Gojyo screamed, "My arms are killing me already!" They smiled together, Sanzo as an exception and Erika flew up to look at the branches, even though they were moving and making sounds, Erika could understand them. Goku tried to pull the branches while Sanzo started smoking, like he cares?

Abruptly, a strong wind occurred and everyone had to close the eyes to prevent dusts to enter their eyes. Just they opened their eyes; they saw a young girl on the air with tears and anger. Everyone looked lost. "No one will take onii-chan from me…" She whispered and tightened her teeth together. Blood began to flow down from her mouth with her anger filled eyes, "No one will take onii-chan from me! Onii-chan is the only one I need!" She screamed louder with tears and the branches started moving towards them. Their eyes widened.

Less than fifteen minutes later, the group was pissed by the branches, even though they tried to cut them down, they can seemed to be jointed together again. Sanzo can only avoid them and shoot somewhere useful but none was helpful. Sanzo's back hit Sakura's back and he looked at her, "Oi Neko, do you have any plan?"

Sakura started puffing, "Why are you asking me for?" She jumped up high, "I don't make all the plans! You do!" Sanzo moved away and tsked alone. Sakura landed and accidentally touched the huge tree. Her eyes widened and it became dark pitch. The weapon she was holding a minute ago dropped and vanished before it hit the ground.

"Why does everyone want to take my beloved people in this world?" Tears dropped down to the ground, "I lost everyone and I don't want to lose Gojyo onii-chan again…" She held her arms on her chest and looked at them, "Please don't take my brother away from me again, and he's the only one I need."

Erika had irritated eyes, "Gojyo did have time to flirt this young girl…" She looked left, "He is also interested with young girls too…" Hakkai giggled in agreement. Goku had his head tilted a side. "In addition, she calls him 'onii-chan' so casually..." She played with the word 'onii-chan'.

"I did NOT flirt her!" Gojyo protested properly and angrily, "She decided it by her own!" His eyes narrowed down and look intently at the girl, why was she so serious about him? He started drooling; if she was a bit older he would have agreed to be with her all the time. The branches were getting stronger and stronger. He saw one of it headed towards Sakura, who looked like she was possessed near the tree he was tied up, "Sakura, watch out!"

The tiny Tree on Midori's shoulders had narrowed wicked eyes and indicated eye contact to the branches, in order to stop heading towards Sakura. Sakura immediately snapped with her eyes wide opened. "What was that?" She asked herself and saw the blonde in front of her charging bullets towards the branches, "Sanzo?"

"Wake up, neko!" Being insulted and protected someone he hate made him go insane. Cheeks were red but it was invisible to everyone except Hakkai, who chuckled as he attacked the branches coolly. For some reason, no one can ever hurt Sakura not a single finger. He wanted to keep her!

Without reaction from Sakura thus made him worry and turned looking at her. "Oi!" An eyebrow rose up and snapped one step back when tears started to drip down on her cheeks as she hooked her hair to the back of her right ear. "Sakura?" Sanzo started shaking her shoulder. Did he offend her? She never cried that related to his insults. He felt guilty.

"Sakura, what's the matter?" Erika's eyes trembled, she took Sakura was hurt because of his words. Her expression changed into lip alert. Hakkai sweat dropped from behind and Erika dashed from behind Sakura, kicking him on the forehead. Sanzo's eyeballs nearly went out from his eyes and he crashed down. "How dare you insult Sakura that way, you corrupted old hot-tempered Sanzo?" She pointed out frankly angrily and started hitting his back in chibi repeatedly.

"Erika-chan…" Hakkai felt embarrassed instead and tried to calm her from behind while Goku stood in chibi. He jumped up high, "I studied new words today!" He started dancing around, singing at the same time as everyone paused with vertical lines on their faces, and even the branches had sweat drops all over. Erika had dotted eyes while there were veins popping out from Sanzo's temple. He immediately charged bullets towards Goku who avoided them by jumping up and down and in the end clinging onto Hakkai in chibi with red cheeks. "He's scary…" Sweat drops formed Hakkai's head while Sanzo had dark aura and flames around him with small Erika beside him.

"You have waited Gojyo for years have you, Midori-chan!" Sakura screamed loud and looked up the sky, directly towards the young girl. Everyone looked at her. Sakura lifted up her arms and held them on her chest, "And wished for him to return to you…" Someone was behind one of the tree, hiding not to be caught, away from the Sanzo's party. Sakura smiled and looked up, "Gojyo is here and you should welcome him warmly…" She blinked, "Or he might hate you…"

Midori started crying, "Gojyo onii-chan would never hate me! You guys are taking him away from me again!" The Sanzo's party had dotted eyes and shook their heads. "He's the one who tagged along!" They said together in chibi with a dull surrounding while Gojyo had veins popping from above.

Sanzo reloading bullets were heard and tsked, "If you want to take him away, you may please to do so. He only flirts!" He was in chibi, saying it frankly while Gojyo started insulted him from above.

"Midori-chan," Gojyo shut his eyes and had a smile, "I am happy you called me 'onii-chan' but I can not accept for who you are… because I am not your brother…" Midori's eyes grew wide, surprised, Gojyo had forgotten all about him. She started crying more heavily and screamed, "You liar!" In reaction, all branches headed towards Gojyo, who looked surprised with sweat drops.

"Midori, what are you doing?" Sakura moved forward stunned, "Are you planning to kill your brother?" All eyes were open wide, Gojyo couldn't move from his position. Midori snapped a moment later and opened her eyes. "Onii-chan!" She screamed.

The man hiding behind the tree immediately showed himself, "Midori-chan!" Gojyo could hear his step-brother's voice and opened his eyes. He saw Midori in front of him blocking him from the sharp branches; it went through her and centimeters away from him. "Midori-chan…" His tongue was tied-up. A quarter of her face was seen and there was a smile, "onii… chan…" Erika and Sakura gasped on the ground.

Midori lost her strength and dropped to the ground slowly however she was luckily caught by Jien. "Midori-chan…" He held her tight, "Why did you do that for?" There were tears on his cheeks. Midori moved her face and looked at her eldest brother with a smile. She rose her right hand and held it on his cheek, "Jien onii-chan…"

"Jien?" Gojyo repeated with his eyes grew wide and snapped a moment later. He just recalled something; he used to have a step-sister too nearly the same age as her but died after few years Gojyo was brought in by his step-mother. "Mi-chan…" He remembered. Sha Midori was supposed to be dead because of an unknown disease, years ago. If she was still alive, she would be the same age as him.

"Yes, Gojyo," Dokugakuji held on Midori's hand tighter, "Midori is our youngest sister…" Midori was smiling, satisfied that both brothers were there with her. "She had waited for you for years in this forest…"

"Onii-chan…" Midori's smile could be seen under her long emerald curly hair and her hand dropped down to the ground slowly and quietly with tears on her cheeks. She looked happy even in the end of her breath. Dokugakuji's eyes grew wide and didn't except it.

He started shaking her, "No! Midori-chan! Open your eyes! Onii-chan will not take this!" He held her to his chest and embraced her tight, "Midori-chan…" More tears torrent down his cheeks and his eyes opened after Midori became balls of light similar to when Erika dead. Everyone couldn't say anything.

Gojyo was enraged and his silver weapon appeared floating just right in front of him. His eyes were blocked by his red antenna and he never felt provoked of something before. Seeing his special girl in his childhood time was something he wished for after her unexpected death exactly 10 years ago but he was stupid for not remembering her. He was such a Jerk! He wasn't just angry about that but also Midori's death. The chains began to swirl around and sliced nearly all the branches.

Sanzo and the others including Jien began to have another battle as the branches lose all its control after Gojyo sliced half of them. Sanzo tsked infuriated and caught sight of a small Tree on the hugest tree around. He immediately aimed his gun at it and charged a bullet directly to it. The 'Tree' didn't have the chance to run away but its eyes became saucers and transformed into dusts.

Balls of lights hasn't disappeared yet, it were still floating in the middle of the forest and it joined together and formed into a moving shinning golden leaves. "Onii-chan… thank you…" Eliminating the 'Tree' would let her soul free. Gojyo squatted down with trembling eyes, apologizing deeply. "It's okay onii-chan. Let Mii-chan leave in peace on earth!" The upper leaves had tears.

Emika had this sorry smile and stepped forward, "Do you want to stay with your brother forever?" She titled her head to one side with her arms behind her back. Everyone looked at her with a surprising look. What else does Erika knows anyway? It looked like Erika has higher knowledge ability than Hakkai. A sweat drop formed behind his head when he could tell what the others were thinking through their faces. The golden leaves looked up at her. "I can show you an 'act'!"

Midori was relieved and pleaded. Gojyo was lost; can Erika do such a thing? She was only a ghost, at least he think she is! Erika looked at Gojyo with a sweet and attractive smile. Gojyo started drooling and moved closer to her. Erika grabbed Gojyo's right arm and hit hit weapon strongly on the golden leaves. A strong golden static light occurred and everyone gasped. The light went down momentarily and saw the chain weapon floated through the air. It immediately transformed from silver to golden with leaves engravement on it. Gojyo was surprised of the alteration and the weapon landed on his palms, "Mii-chan?"

"Wohe!" A loud scream came out from the weapon and everyone crashed down shocked, "I'll be with Onii-chan forever!" Gojyo started laughing and tried to calm the excited weapon down.

Jien, on the other hand, had a satisfied smile on his face. As long as both of them are happy, he would be too. He chuckled when Hakkai called him, "I'll leave her to you, Gojyo." He departed into the dark with a happy reunion feeling on his back, Hakkai could tell.

Abruptly, the trees started to bury down the ground and the plants wilted and scattered down. The forest was dying and everyone looked around, stand in guard just in case. They turned with squinted eyes after they saw small village. They were only one step away from the village entrance. Sweat drops increased in number while bold veins popped out from the blonde and his face jerked to Gojyo's weapon. He wanted to beat Midori up but luckily Goku and Hakkai pulled him from behind and tried to cool him down.

Sakura saw a boy heading towards him with a smile, "Are you visitors?" Sanzo paused and looked at his left.
