Goku looked at the scenery, they have been on the road for a week now and they still haven't found the man or Kyo.
"Goku, pass me another beer."
Goku threw the half-breed a can, which was unusual, for Goku usually would refuse and that would start a fight. Sanzo looked back at the two troublemakers.
"Goku, just calm down, we'll find her."
Goku couldn't take it anymore "You said that everyday! If you haven't noticed, we haven't found her yet!" he was crying now.
Sanzo paused, and ruffled the boy's hair. "Bakasaru, we will find her, but we don't know where she is. Now sleep, I know you haven't for days now."
Goku nodded, it was true, and he snuggled into the corner of the jeep and closed his eyes. "I will find you Kyo, so don't worry." He fell into a deep sleep.
---Tamonahi Caves---
Kyo just listened to the water hitting the rocks below her; she was in a cave, much like the one Hamiamo found her in, only there were no bars blocking her way out. Her ankles were chained to the cold stone like the one she was sitting on. There was no light to be found in this chamber, and Hamiamo was off to a town to buy some food. She leaned back against the damp rock and closed her eyes, trying to listen for somebody to help her. Nothing. She let the darkness surround her, and lead her to dreams. Dreams of being with the Sanzo party and not worrying about someone trying to kidnap her. But none of these dreams would ever come true, not unless she found a lover.
Suddenly, everything went white. She was standing in a garden; everything was in bloom and harmony. She saw two boys running to a shack in the middle of the garden. Kyo gathered her strength and followed the boys. Inside the shack was a little girl with long black hair talking to the boys. She could now see their faces, a happy boy with a gold limiter on the head. It was Goku at a younger age. And another boy, covered in bandages and his hair was in a bun. They were talking to the girl, suddenly, they turned and saw Kyo. She gasped, the girl was she.
"Why are you just sitting there? No one is going to rescue you."
"I can't escape."
The kids all laughed. "Of course you can! You can do anything if just try. You are the chosen one after all."
The mysterious boy took her hand. "Kyo, just letting yourself get lost in thoughts of freedom won't make you free. Just relax and imagine the chains around your ankles to be something else."
"Like spaghetti!"
"All you need to do is imagine something to be something else, and it will happen."
"Really?"
"Yeah!" the younger Kyo beamed. "Look, I'll imagine that rose to be a meat bun!" the other kids looked at the rose. There was a bright light, and a meat bun appeared.
"See! You can do it!"
Kyo smiled, "thanks, but who are you?" she looked at the mysterious boy holding her hand.
"Me? I'm Nataku; I am part of your past and you and Goku need to awaken me to save the world."
"Wha? But how?"
"C'mon Nataku! Lets go to Tempou's library, there must be something there!"
The two boys ran off, leaving Kyo and young Kyo alone.
"Why don't you go?"
The little girl sat on the bed in the room. "I'm not allowed to leave this room. Goku and Nataku visit me a lot, but I have to stay here." She looked at Kyo. "Go, you need to find your friends before it is to late."
"To late? To late for what!"
The little Kyo smiled, and disappeared. Everything started to disappear. Kyo opened her eyes. She looked around, no one was there, and she was back in the caves. "To late for what?" She looked at the shackles around her ankles. Just image my shackles as something else? Like spaghetti?
A light surrounded her ankles, when it disappeared, strands of spaghetti surrounded her ankles. I am the chosen one, and I can do anything if I try. Kyo stood up and ran out of the cave.
---Amotina (a town)---
"Hey Sanzo, can I have that?" Goku pointed to a selection of meat buns.
"Fine, but only because you haven't eaten in days. And you better share them with Goyjo!" He went up to the woman selling them. "Ten meat buns please."
"Hey Sanzo, don't forget the beer." Goyjo motioned to a man selling alcohol.
Sanzo nodded, and went to the alcohol stand. "Thirty cans please."
"Don't forget sake!" Hakkai smiled.
"Fine. Hey beer man, five bottles of Sake as well."
The happy group started to the inn, when a man stopped Hakkai.
"Huh? Is there any problem Sir?"
The man looked up into Hakkai's emerald eyes, smiled, and gave Hakkai a kiss.
Hakuryu screeched, making the rest of the party turn and see the commotion Hakkai and the man were making.
Hakkai felt weak, as if the man was passing something through there mouths. The man suddenly stopped and fell to the ground unconscious.
What just happened here? Oh my god! I can't control my body anymore. That man must of did something!
Welcome to your new prison!
Hamiamo!
"Hakkai? What was that?" Goku asked as a group of men carried the unconscious body away.
"Huh? Oh, I don't know, but I feel a little anemic. Who are you again?"
"Goku, and he is Goyjo and that is Sanzo. You wanna lie down?"
"Yes please." Hakuryu kept on screeching. "Shut it you stupid dragon!"
"Hakkai?"
"Nothing Goku, nothing."
Goku! Don't listen to me!
He can't hear you, no one can hear you!
"Hey Hakkai, why are you just standing there?"
"No reason, I'm coming."
Around nighttime, Hakkai was acting totally strange.
"Hey Hakkai, why are you smoking?"
Hakkai lifted his eyes from the paper, staring at Goku. "No reason."
"But you never smoke."
"I don't, don't I? Now please leave."
"But…"
"Go!"
Goku paused, and left the room.
Sanzo, Goyjo and Goku ate dinner without Hakkai that night, but he was still on their minds.
"Hakkai isn't acting like Hakkai lately."
"Tell me about it, I walked in on him calling a strippers bar."
"Strippers bar?"
"Wait! Didn't Hamiamo control Kougaiji?"
"Yea, so?"
"Maybe something is controlling Hakkai."
"That could explain that man going up and kissing him."
"Well, why don't we ask him a question only Hakkai would know? Then we'll see."
"Kay Sanzo."
Meanwhile, in the entrance of the town, Kyo stood looking around.
"So did ya hear?"
"Hear what?"
Kyo spotted two hookers smoking outside an inn.
"Today Hitoma kissed a guy!"
"Really? What did his wife say?"
"Dunno, but the guy he kissed, so hot! Green eyes, but a monocle was coving one of them, a dragon on his shoulder. I would ask him out in a sec."
Hakkai! Something doesn't sound kosher. I think I'll go undercover, but as what, and how? I know! I wish I looked like a hooker!
A bright light surrounded Kyo. When it died down, She looked totally different. Long blond hair tied in a ponytail, leather jacket over a pink halter and pink mini skirt. A single earring replaced her limiter. I look like shit! I hate pink! Well, I better find out what's going on.
"Huh? Oh look Jina!" one of the woman, tall with tons of makeup, pointed at Kyo. The other woman, Jina, turned and saw the mysterious girl.
"Oh my god! You look adorable! You're like 15 or something! Yoohoo! Come here!" Kyo moved towards the two women. "You are so cute! What's your name?"
"My name is Kyo…no, my name is Kuriku." Can't say my real name.
"Oh my god! Nice to meet ya Kuriku! I'm Jina, and this is Matoni" Jina pointed to the other woman. "Our boss will love you!" They dragged Kyo into the inn. "Ok Kuriku, this has many desperate men in here, you will take the next call."
"But…"
"No buts, now here is a call."
Kyo sighed. Not what I had in mind.
Jina picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello, I would like one of your cutest strippers to come to room 113." Jina smiled.
"Yes sir, we will send up the cutest one we got! Yes, yes, ok, bye bye!" Jina hung up. "You're in luck Kuriku, a gentleman in room 113 is requesting for the cutest hooker here. That would be you of course!"
"Now remember, 100 buck for stripping, 250 for sex, plus 50 for each extra. Jina is going to room 308 and I'm going to room 275, so if you need any help you will know where to find us."
"Now go."
Kyo looked startled. Eew! I'm really doing this! She waved and walked down the hall. 113, 113, 113, ah, here we go!
She knocked on the door. "It's open, come on in, I'm getting a few things."
Kyo entered, not a big room, but comfy. She sat on an ottoman and grabbed a handful of chips on the desk next to it.
"Eating without permission? Well, you aren't getting a tip then." Hakkai came out of the bathroom with a bottle in one hand and whipped cream in the other. "Like whipped cream? I love it plain out of the bottle." He smiled.
Hakkai? I must act different! "Uh, yea sure I like it."
He smiled and put the thing he was holding down. "Here, let me give you a backrub" He sat on the chair behind her and rubbed her shoulders. Kyo shivered. "You ok? Well, my name is Hakkai, what is yours?"
Kyo shivered "Ku…riku."
"Kuriku eh?" Hakkai started to undo the halter. "What a nice name."
"What are you doing Hakkai!" Goku was standing in the door in awe. Sanzo and Goyjo were surprised.
"Oh, nothing, come in, we can share her!" he smiled.
The men entered. "Uh, Hakkai-san? We were remembering the good old days, but I forgot who your sister's name was."
"My sister?" He paused and looked at Kyo. "Kuriku?"
Sanzo pulled out a gun. "All right, who are you? Hakkai would know the answer would be Kanan."
Hakkai smiled "dear me, you really are smart. Well, you should know who I am then." He licked the back of Kyo. She shivered.
"S…stop Hakkai-sama." Who?
He looked surprised, "but you are supposed to like it, you are a hooker after all."
"You got a hooker?"
Hakkai stood up. "Yes, Sanzo, you and your party are really getting on my nerves." He prepared a chi blast. "Now die god dammit!" Hakkai fires.
Kyo ran in front of the Sanzo party spreading her arms. The shot hit her.
"Oh my god!" Goku said as the girl absorbed the blast.
Kyo saw what she did, and ran to the other side of the room, leaving gaping men.
Hakkai acted quickly, he ran to Goku and kissed him. Goku absorbed Hamiamo into his body as Hakkai fell unconscious. Kyo ran and pulled Hakkai aside as Hamiamo finished taking control of Goku.
Goku walked over to Kyo and pulled on the halter. "Hakkai said we can share, you, but he's out, so I'll do the honors."
Kyo pulled back. "That's it! Leave me alone!"
"What are you talking about?" Goku acted surprised.
"Who are you?"
I wanna be me! A bright light surrounded Kyo, and she returned to normal. "Sorry 'bout the disguise, I wanted some questions answered."
"Wha?" Kyo? I got an idea! "Oh Kyo I'm so sad."
"Huh?" She turned to Goku "Why?"
"Cause your back! Everything was great till you came. I only pretended to like you because I pitied you."
"Goku, is this true?"
"Of course it is! Just go! I hate you and I wish you would die!"
Kyo looked like she wanted to cry. "Goku, if that is how you really feel, then fine, I'll go somewhere you won't have to worry about me. I just wanted to see you. You are so kind, you're my best friend and I'll do anything for you. Good bye Sanzo party." Now in tears, she ran.
"That's it!" Sanzo started to chant a sutra.
Hakkai awoke and looked around. "What's going on?"
"I think Sanzo-sama is pissed off."
Sanzo finished, his scripture surrounded Goku and there was a scream. "You may have finished me off, but I'll be back!"
"What did you just do?"
"I banished Hamiamo's soul. He may be immortal, but he can't escape the bounds of hell."
Goku looked around. "Where's that girl?"
"Uh…"
"Sorry Goku, but she turned out to be Kyo. 'You' said some awful things…"
"You said 'Just go! I hate you and I wish you would die!' she ran in tears. She probably thinks now that you were also after her."
Goku ran. Damn! I gotta find her and tell her the truth!
Meanwhile, Kyo transformed back into her 'hooker' form. He was my last hope, now I am alone again. I need to find Jina. She ran to room 308 and bolted in. "Jina!" Jina was sitting in a chair eating a meat bun. "Oh hi! Want a meat bun?"
Kyo nodded and sat on the ottoman and nibbled on the meat bun.
"This is the boss' room, he is also my husband though, I was wondering, you are homeless, right?"
Kyo nodded. I am now.
"Well then why don't you stay with me and Jina." A tall man holding two cans of beer walked in. "My name is Hei Natan, Jina told me all about you. We can't have any kids, and you seem perfect! We can adopt you!"
Kyo smiled. Seems like a nice couple. "Why not."
Jina giggled, "Then you can be called Hei Kuriku. Oh, by the way, how much money did you get?"
Kyo paused. Gotta think of a lie, can't tell them it was my friend possessed by someone else. "Well, he tried to kill me, so I ran. I'm sorry."
"That's ok, we have plenty, why don't you and I go shopping for something else to wear. We are going to a new town tomorrow."
Perfect! I will start a new life! "Kay!" Jina and Kyo walked out.
Goku ran to the front desk. "Dumbbell man, have you seen a girl, long blond hair and dressed in pink."
"Yea, hottie, I was thinking of asking her out."
"Was she with anyone else?"
"Yea, two locals, Matoni and Jina. If you wanna talk to them, Matoni is the gossiper. She is in room 275. The other is with her husband in room 308."
Hmm, 275 is in another building, so I should go to room 308. "Thanks man!" Goku ran to room 308 and bolted in. "Kyo! I'm sorry!"
Natan popped his head out of the mini bar. "There is no Kyo hear, and shouldn't you knock?"
"Sorry, but where is your wife?"
"Jina? She took our new daughter and went shopping. We're moving tomorrow to Sito, so please leave us alone."
Goku wasted no time and ran to the streets, he saw the girl from Hakkai's room looking at some pants.
"Kyo!"
The girl paused, but moved on to the shirts where a woman was piling clothes into her arms.
"Hey Jina, can I get this?" Kyo held up a sports jacket.
"You are into boys clothes I see, not fond of girls clothes?"
"Kyo, will you just hear me out!" He grabbed Kyo's shoulder. "I'm sorry."
"Why are you touching my daughter?" Jina pushed his hand away. "And her name is not Kyo, it's Kuriku."
Goku took Kyo's hand and pulled her into an alleyway.
"Police! That man is kidnapping my daughter!"
Goku pulled Kyo as far away from the clothes store as he could. "What's the matter with you?"
"Let go of me." She pulled her hand away from him. "You didn't want to see me again so I started a new life."
"But I said I was sorry!"
"Goku, I thought things would get better after I met you, you saved me from Hamiamo and Kougaiji. Then you told me it was a charity case. I'm not weak anymore, so leave me the hell alone!" She punched Goku in the stomach, knocking him out. "Goodbye Son Goku."
