After
the commotion of the sleeping arrangements, Sanzo, Goku and Gojyo
crammed into Hakkai's room, because it was closer to the exit in case
they had to run out. Adonia sat on the bed, looking at the four
males talk before piping up and saying, "I don't think I should
be here! I should go." She stood up, before yelping and
falling back on the bed, looking up at Gojyo. Gojyo stared down at
her, holding her wrists, and straddling her.
"You're not
going anywhere..." He said softly, his crimson eyes staring
into Adonia's green ones. She nodded slowly, then looked away,
closing her eyes. After a few hours, the hotel got quiet, then the
lights suddenly shut off. Adonia squeaked, then clung to Gojyo, his
arms indistenctly wrapping around her waist, and rubbing her back.
After the minutes of silence, there was a scream on the floor below
them. Adonia clung to Gojyo more. Goku summoned his Nyoi-Bo staff,
getting up from his spot on the floor, and pointing it to the door.
Sanzo pulled out his Smith and Wesson, loading it slowly, as he
grounded his fourth ciggarette in the hour. There was another
scream, closer this time. Silence. The door bursted open suddenly,
causing Adonia to scream. She hid heself behind Gojyo, who sudden
stood up readying his shakujou staff. A woman with slightly drooping
green eyes, and red hair, stood before the group, as she looked at
the floor.
"Where's Adonia...? I need to speak with her,"
She said slowly, stepping into the room, her black robes flowing
behind her.
"Ugh... She reeks of blood..." Goku said,
wrinkling his nose.
"How do you know she's here?"
Sanzo asked, lighting another cigarrette.
"Because I asked
the other patrons... And they don't know who she is..." She
said, walking closer to them. "I suggest you give her to me,
before I'm forced to do something you don't want me to..." She
said, staring at Gojyo, who dropped his staff, an clucthed his neck,
gurgling as he fell to the floor.
"STOP! Leave him alone!"
Adonia cried, standing up straight. "I'm coming..." She
slowly walked over to the woman, who opened her arms to her, then
threw off her robes, pointy ears slowly forming, a unique birthmark
on her left breasts.
"Idiot..." She said, gripping
Adonia by her neck, then tossed her against the wall. She yelped,
then fall on the floor in a dead faint. The youkai made her way to
Adonia's fainted body, then slowy aimed her claws at the girl's
chest, before she hissed, a bullet narrowly missing her fingers.
"Touch
her, and you're dead..." Sanzo said, taking a puff from his
cigarette.
"Well, she disobyed, she needs to be punished...
Plus, I hear the body of a virgin is more tasteful than a priest,"
She said, smirking, then reached for Adonia again, before she
screamed, falling to the floor, as Goku hit her upside the head with
his staff.
"You're not gonna kill that cook!" He cried,
smacking her again and again.
"Why is it always food with
him!" Gojyo wheezed, sitting up, and wiping the spit off the
side of his mouth, as he stood up, rushing after the youkai. Hakkai
quickly picked up the fallen girl, then laid her on the bed, focusing
his chi to make a barrier around her.
"You can't win
against me!" The youkai hissed, blocking the attacks from Goku
and Gojyo. She grabbed Goku's staff, then flung it around, tossing
it into the wall, Goku still clinging to it.
"AGH! BITCH!"
He tried to pull the staff out the wall, then fell over, pulling it
out the wall. Gojyo continued to swing is staff, and tried to stab
her, but cried out in pain, as she turned it around, and stabbed him
in his leg.
"FUCK!" He winced, falling over, gasping
slightly. He pulled the staff out of his leg, then tried to stand
up, but fell over, groaning slightly.
"Sanzo, a little help
here!" Goku cried, trying to get one hit on the youkai. Sanzo
sat there, finishing his seventh cigarette, then shrugged off his
robes, cocking his gun, then shooting the youkai in the forehead.
She gasped, then fell over, her body twitching. Goku snarled then
started to yell at Sanzo.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THAT EARLIER?
WE ALMOST DIED TRYING TO--ACK!" Goku fell on the floor at
Sanzo's feet, wheezing. The youkai laughed, standing up slowly.
"I told you... You can't defeat me..." She said,
laughing, licking the blood that fell on her lips. Hakkai looked
back at the youkai, then slowly stood up, trying to keep the barrier
around Adonia.
"I don't know how we're supposed to stop
her..."
"Just give me the girl, and I let you live..."
Sanzo looked at the girl, then looked at the Hakkai. Hakkai
blinked, then furrowed his brow.
"Why would we want to give
her to that thing!" Hakkai cried, pointing to the youkai.
"I
just... want to live... See the things..." Sanzo said,
emphasizing on "want to" and "see". Hakkai
blinked, then nodded slowly, setting down the barrier, then slowly
picked her up.
"Wake up, Adonia..." He said slowly,
then handed her to the youkai.
"Good humans..." The
youkai said, brushing a strand of hair from Adonia's face. Adonia
groaned, then looked up at the youkai. She snarled, then slapped the
demon across the face, then kicked her in the neck, falling to the
floor with slight thud.
"You're the one that put me through
hell for ten years!" Adonia cried, throwing punches and kicks
at the startled demon, who fell over.
"NOW!" Sanzo
called, throwing on his robes, and muttering the chant of the Maten
Sutra, as Hakkai used his manuipulive chi. Goku started swinging at
the fallen demon, while Gojyo tended to his leg. Sazno cried out the
last words of the chant, then flung it at the youkai, who cried out,
and thrashed around. Sanzo pulled out his gun, then shot the demon
in the neck, and heart. The demon stopped thrashing, then slowly
started to turn into a puddle of blood.
