IN TENKAI 500 YEARS AGO
"Why are you waking me at this hour?"
"Sorry Kyo, but I just went to the real world with Tempou and I couldn't wait to tell you about it!"
"I stayed locked in my room all day and I could wait to tell you."
"Oh…I'm sorry, but it's not my fault you aren't allowed to leave this room."
"I know, I don't have any friends, I never leave this room, and I'm just so lonely."
"Kyo…Kyo! I promise I will be there for you! I am your friend and will always!"
"Night…Goku."
"Saaaaaaaaaaanzoooooooooooo!"
"We will be in the town soon, and if you don't shut it, I won't buy lunch!"
"I'll be quiet…" Sanzo and his party are driving down a dirt road towards a town
"Stupid little monkey still can't go one minute without whining for food."
"Shut up you stupid kappa!"
"You two will both shut up or I will shoot!"
"Huh? Wah! Watch out Hakkai!"
Hakkai who wasn't exactly paying attention to the road suddenly sees a girl walking towards the town. "Hakaryu! Transform!" When the dust clears, a girl was unconscious on the ground. She had short black hair with a couple red streaks and a gold diadem on her forehead.
"Nnnnnnmmmmm…"
"She's waking up!"
The mysterious girl opens her eyes slightly. "Nnnnmmmmm…where…where am I?"
"You are in an inn in Jimotanu. You ok? You've been out for a whole day!"
"I apologize for running into you."
"It's…ok…"
"Here, drink this; it will make you feel better."
"I've done all I can by healing you; the rest is up to you."
"………I have to go!" She quickly sits up but pauses and holds her shoulder. "Ow!"
"Lay back down, you aren't going anywhere!"
"But I have to! My mas…"
"Your what?"
"…Never mind…" The girl lies back down. "Who…are you?"
"I'm Hakkai, and this is Goyjo and Sanzo. The guy in the corner is Goku."
"Speaking of Goku, he hasn't talked since we ran her over."
"I wonder why…"
"Hi! My name is…um…" The girl holds her head and shakes it in pain. "Ow! No my master would kill me!" She looks up at the surprised party. "I, uh, I have to go." She sat up, winced in pain, but got out of bed and ran out of the door.
"Wait!"
"Don't she's gone…"
"Goku? You ok buddy?"
"She…she seems so familiar…like I've seen her before somewhere."
"Who is that girl? She did say master…and isn't it strange she has a diadem that looks exactly like Goku's?"
"Who cares?"
"Sanzo!"
"…We will find out more about her in the morning, I got this strange feeling…"The three Buddha's said a lost soul shall join the party west, but they didn't say who…only a feeling would tell…"I'm going to get some sleep."
"Kay."
THE NEXT MORNING
"A girl with black hair and a gold diadem? Yeah, I know her."
"Can you please tell us about her?"
"And while you're at it, I would like the curry noodles, the fried octopus balls, the…OW!"
"Ignore the monkey, please answer the question."
"No one knows much about her; she comes to town once a week to buy some food and bandages. Then she leaves. We have sent men after her, but they never return, some say she is a demon luring people to her master."
"Why do you say master?"
"Well, she sometimes comes with a black eye or other injury, other times she comes with shackles around her wrists, or marks like if she was tied up. And she also talks about a master a lot."
"Can you show us where she lives?"
"No, I can't, but I can tell you where. Just west of here, there is a huge rock with a willow tree next to it, very nice spot to picnic, but there is a house behind the tree."
"Thank you, and can you get two helpings of friend squid and five helpings of curry noodles to go?"
"Yes sir."
The Sanzo party traveled to the house behind the willow tree. "Hello? Hello, is anyone there?"
"C'mon already, lets go in." They enter the gloomy house.
"It smells like someone died."
"I don't see anyone."
"Hello? Who is it?" The girl enters from the shadows with a bandage around her shoulder.
"Hello Miss. I was wondering if we could talk."
"…Fine."
"The people in town say that you live here. Is that true?"
"…No."
"Do you have any mother or father?"
"…No, I don't have any family or friends. I am all alone."
"She…she sounds so familiar."
"Goku? Why do you leave my every day?"
"Cause I cant stay in here, it is so boring."
"But you are my only friend! I'm so lonely when you aren't here."
"I'm sorry Kyo, I promise to stay with you once and a while."
"Promise?"
"Promise!"
"And I never kept it, I always left her alone…"
"Goku?"
"You…you sound like…Kyo! You're Kyo!"
The girl blinked.
"Kyo! It's me! Goku!"
"Go…ku…"
"Yes! Where have you been?"
"What's going on?"
"When I lived in heaven, I lived with my best friend, but no one liked her. When I took my limiter off, she did to! We were both punished; we forgot everything and were locked away!"
"Go…ku…"
"Kyo! Don't you remember? I brought you in a leaf and you slept with it cause it reminded you have close we were…but then…then I stopped visiting…"
"Go…NO! I don't know what you're talking about!"
"You sure this is the right person?"
"Positive!"
"KYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Master!"
"Kyo, introduce me to your…guests…bring them to me!"
"Yes…master…please follow me…"
"Follow her, it want to see this, master."
Kyo lead the Sanzo party to a large room big a throne. "That will be all Kyomi, you may leave."
"Yes master."
Kyo left. A demon appeared on the throne. "Welcome, to my home. My name is Hamiamo"
"What have you done with Kyo?"
"Why, I set her free! I found her locked up in Mount Chikomi. So helpless, but so young, I brought her here and cast a spell on her. She has no clue who she is, but she does whatever I say, even though she still has knowledge. Good way to have sex anyway…"
"You raped her?"
"Yes, and she couldn't do a thing to stop me."
"You bastard!"
"Don't attack Goku."
"Sanzo?"
"Hahaha! Pathetic little ape, I my domain, you can't attack me, I was born immortal! And you can't escape! Only I can choose who comes and goes."
Sanzo shots, and it hits Hamiamo. "Hahaha! I told you I was immortal. You are now to live here. If you don't, I'll put a spell on you to."
The Sanzo party was out of options, and wandered the halls of the mansion like place. "What do we do?"
"Sanzo, any ideas?"
"Yes, we must find Kyo."
"Look! A door!" The Sanzo party looks through the door and sees Hamiamo hurting Kyo.
"You little bitch! You are supposed to bring humans, not the Sanzo party!"
"I'm sorry! The must have followed me!"
"That's no excuse!" Hamiamo chains a bleeding Kyo to the wall.
"That's it, I've been through enough, and I'm going to hurt you like never before!"
"No!"
"Why should I listen to you?"
"…Cause the Sanzo party could be in your room!"
"That's right…I didn't tell them they couldn't go there." He moves away. "I'm gonna find them, lock them up in a spare room, and come back to you later." Hamiamo leaves another way.
The Sanzo party enters the room. "Kyo! Kyo, are you ok?"
"You! Go, run! He is going to steal your soul!"
"Not without you!" Goku fiddles with the locks.
"It's no good, they are special locks, and they can only be opened by the one who closed them."
"Than we will make him!"
"Didn't you hear? We can't threaten him cause he is immortal!"
"So what are we gonna do?"
"The…the Matan scripture…"
"What! I'm not giving it…oh! I understand. But you will still be under a spell…"
"I can get master to come back, and go to the soul room; he keeps all his souls there. Get mine, if I have it back, then the 'spell can be broken.'"
"So he doesn't know any spells, he steals souls."
"Yes. I can get him to take his time with me while you get it."
"But you will still be hurt!"
"It's happened before, I'll live. I don't remember you, but you must be good!"
"…Fine."
"Go outside, once I get him, go!"
"Kay!"
"MASTER! MASTER, THEY ARE IN HERE! Go!"
The Sanzo party leaves the room. Hamiamo enters. "Ok…huh? They aren't here. YOU BITCH!" He slapped her. "I'm gonna take my time torturing you for this! And I will do it now!"
"C'mon, lets go!" The party walks down the halls. "Look Sanzo! A room!" They look in the room.
"There are many bottles…they must have souls in them!"
"Look for Kyo's her real name is Sam Kyomi"
"Kay." The party looks and looks, and finds an old bottle with a glowing object inside.
"Here it is! Lets go before she can't hold him off." They return to the room with Kyo in it. Sanzo starts to whisper a prayer or something.
"Goyjo! Hold Goku back, or he could run in at any moment."
Goyjo holds Goku with one hand and covers his eyes with another.
"Goku? What did you do?"
"Nataku is trying to kill me, and I can't defend."
"I'll help!"
"But we can't like this."
"Then we will take our diadems off."
"But we will get in trouble."
"Then I will, by myself."
"Kyo…Kyo, I'll do it with you!"
"But…"
"No Kyo, I'll do anything for you."
"…You ready?"
"Yeah…"
"On the count of three! One, two, three!"
Everything went black, and next I remember being locked up in Mount Gogyou.
"SHITAMO KANAMU TAMEKA!"
Hamiamo saw the scripture coming. "So you figured it out, well then, I'll leave you with a present." He unlocked Kyo with a wave of a hand and pulled of her limiter. The scripture caught him and turned him to stone where Sanzo shot him and the statue crumbled.
"Her limiter! He took it off!"
Kyo was glowing and moaning. Than let out a howl. Now what stood before them was a very angry youkai. "Grrrrrr"
"What do we do?" Kyo jumped and punched Goyjo, which knocked him out in one blow.
"She…is so strong!"
Hakkai put up a barrier to protect him and Goku. Kyo went through that easily and knocked out Hakkai.
A light appeared. "Hold her."
Goku, confused, ran to her and held her hand. "KYO, STOP IT!"
Kyo paused, and her limiter suddenly appeared on her forehead again and she fell into Goku's arms. Goku lay her down and saw Kanzeon Bosatsu stand in front of him and Sanzo.
"Who…who are you and where did you come from?"
"I am The Merciful Goddess! I am the one who placed your limiter on when you battled Rikudo."
"Then you must be the one who put Kyo's limiter back on."
"Yes, that would be me. And that girl is a very special one, even more powerful than you Goku."
"Wha?"
"Many years of abuse and order, and having no clue who she was. All she knew was that one-day a group of men would save her from this terrible fate. Right, Sanzo?"
"She is the one…"
"She has been too much, Sam Kyomi, I lift your punishment or unhappiness."
Hakuryu appeared in a jeep form. "C'mon Goku, we need to get them to Jimotanu, especially Goyjo; I think his ribs are broken again…"
"…Ok…"
BACK IN JIMOTANU
"She hasn't awoken yet; she has a broken arm and barely has a pulse."
"Sanzo, what did you mean by 'she is the one'?"
"Before we started our journey, the three Buddha's told me that a lost soul would be the key to beating Gyumaoh."
"I wonder how?"
"Guys! Maybe she isn't waking up because Hamiamo died and she is still under the spell."
"It isn't a spell you dimwit! Hamiamo steals souls."
"Try freeing her soul from the bottle."
Hakkai took out the cork from the bottle and the glowing blob came out. It wandered around a little bit, but eventually sought out Kyo and drove into her mouth. "…HHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA!" Kyo sat up gasping for air. Then she looked around at the men in the room. "You…saved me…where…am I? The last thing I remember was crying, then a big man came and freed me. He smiled and…then everything went blank…"
"Kyo!" Goku ran to Kyo and wrapped his arms around her. "Kyo…I'm so glad you are all right."
"Who are you? Don't touch me!"
"She must not remember what happened the last couple of years."
"Goku, try rebooting her memory."
"Do you have any idea how many people you two killed?"
"I'm sorry! It was my entire fault, don't blame Goku!"
"That is no excuse, but if you want, Goku will have a less drastic punishment."
"…That's fine."
"Now, we will need to talk, so please stay seated."
"Kyo…I'm…I'm sorry about this…"
"You didn't do anything wrong. You have a life, I got nothing."
"All right, the punishments are decided, Son Goku, you will forget everything about your life and will be locked up in Mount Gogyou. And Sam Kyomi, you will have the same punishment, but if you are ever to be freed, you will never be happy and will be miserable!"
"No!"
"Goku, it's ok…"
"No it isn't, please think this over!"
"Our decisions are final!"
"Kyo! I promise one day, I will find you! Then you will never be miserable!"
"Promise?"
"This time, I will keep it!"
"Kyo! I promised I would find you, and I did! You will never be miserable again!"
"………!"
"Remember Kyo? Remember the time I helped you escape from your room and…"
"And the jury found us, I was sent to a new place where you didn't know of…"
"Yes! And I looked for three days straight and found you in the jail cell crying…"
"I was so happy you found me…you…you are Goku…"
"Yes Kyo! I missed you so much!"
"Goku, I missed you too."
"Sniff it is so cute!"
"Shut up Goyjo!"
"Kyo, remember the dream you had many years ago?"
"Yeah, I think, I'm support to go with you, right?"
"We leave tomorrow, so rest up. Goku, she needs to sleep."
"…Fine…night Kyo." The Sanzo party leaves the room as Kyo instantly falls asleep.
"Goku has a crush! Goku has a crush!"
"Shut it you stupid kappa!"
"Well, I got to admit, Kyo is kinda hot…"
"Well, look who it is, the Sanzo party!"
"Kougaiji? And the rest of you!"
"What your Merciful Goddess never mentioned is that we also know about Kyomi."
"She is the only one who can stop Gyumaoh, and we can't let that happen for Kou-sama's sake!"
"Hiyas Sanzoooo!"
"You brought the little pest along I see…"
"What do you want?"
"Kyomi of course!"
Yaone and Dokugakuji already seemed to find her and bring her back. "Got her sir!"
"Lets go!"
"No! You can't take Kyo!"
"Just watch us!" The Kougaiji party shimmered and disappeared.
"KYO!"
"Calm down Goku, they just took her to their castle."
"Why should I calm down?"
"We have been on the road for a while, and their castle is just a couple days away."
"We will leave after lunch if you want."
"No lunch! We leave now!"
Goku refusing lunch, he must care for her dearly. "Fine, Goyjo, get lunch to go, we will meet you here in ten minutes."
IN GYYMAOH'S CASTLE
"Have you brought the girl?"
"Yes, she is locked away in the dungeons, and Lirin has been watching her, I think she is bored."
"We are going to shimmer the lab and Gyumaoh to another castle further west; you will stay here and move along with the Sanzo party."
"Yes."
"You must not let the Sanzo party get near her."
"Yes."
"Good boy, now farewell."
Gyukumen Koushu and half the castle disappeared. Kougaiji walked to the dungeon where Lirin was sitting. "How is she?"
"Dokugakuji chained her so she couldn't escape, but she is still sleeping."
"Lirin, I'm going to a meeting with Nii, I want you to look after her, you can play with her when she wakes up, but don't mention the Sanzo party, I'll bring you something to eat, ok?"
"Okies onii-chan!"
Meanwhile, the Sanzo party has driven for two days when they got to the castle. "Wow! Nice place."
"C'mon guys, we need to get Kyo out of there!"
"Calm down Goku, we will get her no matter what!"
"Lets go!" They enter the castle.
Back in the dungeons. "Nnnmmmmmm…huh? Where am I now?"
"You're awake! My name is Lirin and I wanna play!"
"Where is Goku?"
"Probably trying to save you, look, it wasn't my idea to kidnap you. I like you!"
"You seem nice too…I'm Kyo."
"Wanna play?"
"I can't exactly, kinda chained here."
"In this castle you play with your mind, you don't need hands."
"Kay…"
"Wanna be friends?"
"Sure! But why did you kidnap me?"
"I told you, I didn't want to, but onii-chan said something about you are the chosen one. Don't know what that means, anyway, chess or poker?"
Back to the Sanzo party. "I don't see anything, just lots and lots of wires." They hear someone coming, so they hide.
"What are you going to do with her Nii Jenyi?"
"Your mother says that she is the chosen one, didn't you listen?"
"She isn't my mother! She trapped my real mother!"
"Yes, you visit Rasetsunyo everyday, don't you?"
"Answer the question Nii."
"Well, we are going to destroy her!"
"How?"
"Throw her in the tube with electrodes and destroy her heart. We will go threw her memories and destroy them till she is just a shell."
"Can't you do something less harsh? Lirin and her seem to love playing together."
"Do you want your mother to be freed?"
"Yes, but I care for Lirin!"
"Well, no, there isn't another way; we will have to do it immediately!"
Sigh- "Fine, I'll ask Doku to get her."
"We will have to bring the lab back though. I'll contact Wang and Huang."
The men disappear and the Sanzo party starts to wander the hall again. "So she is the chosen one, that's what Kanzeon Bosatsu was talking about."
"What is the chosen one?"
"The chosen one is suppose to be the most powerful thing out there, more powerful than the gods or even Buddha! I'm pretty sure they want to stop her from destroying Gyumaoh so they are destroying her, like what Chin Yisou tried to do to me, but it sounds much worse than destroying her."
"They are doing something worse then dead Goku; they are going to experiment on her once they destroy her."
"No! We can't let that happen!"
"What do you think we are doing?"
"It also seems that this is where they tried to revive Gyumaoh, but they knew we were coming so the moved him and the one trying to revive him. It seems like Kougaiji's half-mother."
"Kyo…"
Back in the dungeons. "Checkmate, I win again!"
"Your really good Kyo."
"Yeah, even though I never played this or poker before."
"So, are really the chosen one?"
"I don't think I am, I heard that a group of priests destroyed the chosen one, but that may be false."
"Where did you here that from?"
"The demon Hamiamo, the one who freed me and tortured me."
"Sorry to here that."
"It's ok, the Sanzo party killed him."
"Yay!"
"Hello Lirin, I see she is up."
"Hi Doku! What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry Lirin, but Lord Kougaiji orders her to be destroyed."
"What! But what did I do?"
"You are a threat to Gyumaoh, I apologize, I don't want to do this, but Nii said to. Please move Lirin."
"No! She is my friend, I must protect her…huh? Let go Yaone!"
Yaone holds Lirin. "Lirin! Stop this!"
"I'm sorry Kyomi." Dokugakuji puts a chain on her leash-like thing around her neck and started to lead her off.
Goku! Please help me Goku!
They eventually get to a lab, where they unchain her, stick electrodes on her naked body, and put her in a tube of yellowish liquid. "Lets see here, her strongest memory is Goku."
"Hi! Konzen-sama says my name is going to be Son Goku, what is yours?"
"I…don't have one…"
"I know, I'll name you! Lets see, you cry a lot, but you are pure… I know! You will be named Kyomi! Kyo for short. And your last name will be…Sam, cause it is short of isamu and that mean high-spirited!"
"Sam…Kyomi…"
"Lets change that memory around a little."
"Hi! Konzen-sama says my name is going to be Son Goku, what is yours?"
"I…don't have one…"
"I know, I'll name you! Lets see, you are an ass, but you are stupid…I know! You will be named Ketsuba! And your last name will be…Dai, cause it is short of daiben, which means shit!"
"Dai…Ketsuba…"
"Yes, it suits you because no one likes you! In fact, we all hate you!"
"AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG!"
"It's working sir, she is starting to brake! I have changed all of her memories; they are going one at a time."
"Lets go back to Gykumen Koushu."
"Yes Nii."
Back to the Sanzo party. "God, we have been walking forever and we still can't find her."
Lirin runs down the hall towards them crying.
"Huh? Lirin, what's wrong?"
"You! You got to help me; they took her…she's in the tube! I can't protect my friend!"
"We are to late! They are destroying her!"
"It's never to late! Lirin, show us her."
"Follow me, and stay quiet." Lirin shows them a secret passageway that leads to a big room with Kyo in the tube. "There she is."
"Nyoibou!" Goku summons his weapon and hit the tube.
"The tube can't be broken, there is a mechanical lock somewhere, if we find it, I can probably unlock the tube. But we must hurry, every second her memories will be destroyed."
"Kyo, I will always be there to protect you!"
"Promise Goku?"
"Promise!"
"One of her memories is being changed."
"Ketsuba, I'm bored so I'm going to tell Konzen that you hurt me and he will make you suffer!"
"But why?"
"Cause I said so!"
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Kyo!"
"Goku, help us look, if we don't get her out of there, she's doomed!"
"Found it!" Goyjo waves the others to come.
"Mother is going to hate me more if I do this, but I don't care, I hate her too! Lets see…the clue is Nii birthday date, 71285, which should do it!" The case opens and Kyo falls out.
"Got ya!" Goyjo caught Kyo and a siren sounded.
"UNOTHORIZED TIME, INTRUDER, INTRUDER!"
"Run guys!"
"Hakuryu! Transform!" The little dragon transformed and the party and Lirin hopped in and drove off.
"Drop me off here; I need to go to my room." Hakuryu stopped, Lirin got out and rant to a door.
"Go! Go! Go!" They sped to the front door.
"Don't you even think about it?" Kougaiji jumped in the jeep. "She is a threat to everyone…whoa!"
Sanzo pushed him out and they drove to Kario, a nearby town. They got to an inn where they put her on the bed. "She is alive, but probably has terrible memories or us now."
"They probably changed the memory of when I helped her pick a name."
Kyo woke up with a start. "No!" She looked around, got out of bed, and put on some clothes they lay out for her. Then she looked around and eyed Goku. "You!"
"Me? What did I do? Don't look so angry."
"Goku, her memories have changed, she probably thinks you are bad or something."
"He is bad all right! He hurt me, called me names, and tried to kill me!"
"I…didn't do anything."
"Stop lying you ass." She charged at him, he dodged, putting a dent in the wall. "How dare you name me Ketsuba!"
"But I didn't, your name is Kyo, someone changed your memories. Don't you remember me?"
"Yeah, the ass I hate. INFERNO OR THE WIND!"
"Yes, she is the chosen one all right, that is one of the attacks." A wind swept through the room, and a fire circled around Goku. Hakkai butted in and put up a barrier.
"Sanzo! Can't you do anything?"
Sanzo nodded, and started to chant. The fire and wind died down, leaving a surprised Kyo. Suddenly, she fell. "Kyo!" Goku ran to her and put her on the bed.
"This sutra will erase the memories the scientists put in and replace them with the real ones. It might take a while, so we better relax. C'mon Goku, lets leave her alone."
"No, I want to stay with her."
Sanzo paused. "Fine, but bandaged her arm up again, remember, it is still broken and she used it during the quick battle."
"…Ok…" As they older men left the room, Goku went to the table nearby and grabbed the bandages. "Kyo…I…I will protect you from them!"
The next morning, Goyjo came in with some food, where he saw Goku sitting on the bed asleep and Kyo's head on his lap. "He really loves her…"
THREE DAYS LATER
"Goku, wake up!"
"Breakfast already?"
"No, Kyo is awake!"
Goku suddenly awoke and ran to her room. "Kyo?"
Kyo was sitting up in bed with one arm in bandages. She was eating some fried octopus. "Huh? Oh, hi Goku!"
"You aren't going to try and kill me?"
"Why would I do that?"
Goku beamed, and ran to her and gave her a big hug. "Oh Kyo it is really you! I missed you so much!"
"Everything is a blur, all I can remember is talking with Lirin and Doku and a woman coming, them taking me to that lab, and then forcing me in that tube.
"How you feeling?"
"Huh? Oh hi Goyjo, what happened to your face?"
"Oh, earlier, I asked how big her boobs were, and she slapped me."
"Ready to go?"
"What?"
"Kyo mentioned hearing them moving further west. We better start moving as soon as we can."
Kyo hopped out of the bed and started to the door. "Hmmm, so I'm traveling with you guys now."
"Seems like it."
"Maybe Goku, you could tell me more about my past…"
"Sure!"
Sanzo, Goku, Goyjo, Hakkai, and now Kyo, this is going to be interesting.
"West then?"
"West it is!"
