Chi: Yay! If anyone has wandered here by mistake, you might want to turn back. Because I'm really stupid!-Ha sweatdrops-
Ha: I...really don't think that's the way to go about and get readers...
Chi shrugs- Eh. I'm being honest.
Gy-rolls his eyes-: You ain't kidding about that...
Chi: Sanzo...
Sa hits Gy with the fan-
Chi: Yay! On with the story!

Water dripped somewhere nearby, and Hakkai struggled to come back to consciousness. Moaning, he opened his
eyes, head feeling as though it had been struck with a hammer several times.
Where...what?
Then it all came flashing back to him. The trip outside...the attacker. He had been so STUPID. He should have just
blindly shot out instead of asking questions, or he should have at least made a break for it.
Anything would have been better than just standing and waiting to be taken down, like he had done.
Hakkai blinked, wincing at the slight throbbing as he surveyed his surroundings. He was in a small stone cell, three
walls comprised of stone, the fourth wall thick, heavy metal bars he suspected his chi wouldn't be able to break down.
Hakkai looked around in the dim light provided by a lantern on the outside of his cell, and he turned his gaze to the
floor. More stone, with straw thrown about for good measure.
Hakkai tried to stand, but could only crouch due to the thick manacle attached to his right wrist and part of the stone
wall he was currently leaning against.
Dammit.
Water dripped down onto the top of his head, and he looked up to find a window six or seven feet above him. Even if
he could stand and reach it, no good would come from his efforts. It was covered with the same thick bars, and he sighed
once more, chains of the manacle rubbing his wrist raw.
So...he was going to die here?
No. Morbid thoughts would get him nowhere. He had to keep his emotions hidden, and just...hope that the Sanzo
gang at least knew he was missing. And...that they actually cared he was gone.
There were those bad thoughts again.
"Ooh. So you're awake, eh?"
Hakkai looked up slowly when the cell door opened, and he frowned slightly at the voice. "You...you were the one
who attacked me last night.''
The demon nodded, and stepped into the light. "Indeed I did...Hakkai. But I only did what I felt I had to do." he
replied, stepping into the light so that Hakkai could see him.
The demon looked human enough in the face, but his eyes were...different. Strange. Icy blue and almost
hypnotically...soul less. A cruel smirk twisted at his lips, and long, blue hair that was nearly black in its darkness hung past his
shoulders, and he laughed out loud, brushing off imaginary dirt from his immaculate, two-piece white suit.
"I...don't know you." Hakkai murmured simply, confused.
"Ooh, very good. You don't know me...but I know you. I've been watching you for quite some time, lurking in the
shadows. And you never felt me once...did you...Hakkai?"
Hakkai bit his lip.
If what this demon said was true...then no. He hadn't.
"That's exactly what I thought." the strange demon said with a laugh. "Of course not."
"Who are you?"
"Getting curious are we, my prisoner? Well...I suppose it wouldn't hurt for you to call me...Jiku."
Hakkai glared up at Jiku. "What, using me as bait? To lure the rest of the gang here?"
Jiku's image flickered, and he was right in front of Hakkai, cupping Hakkai's face in his long fingers, careful not to
scratch the chained demon's face. "I'm surprised with you...Hakkai. I thought you'd be much smarter than this. I have
absolutely no use for...the Sanzo party." he shrugged. "They can die, or they can come and try to free you. Either way they
will end up...dead." he said with a vicious smirk that sent shivers down Hakkai's back.
Hakkai's eyes widened; he was completely confused now. "Then...why did you kidnap me?"
"To have some...fun." Jiku's smirk twisted his face insanely, and Hakkai wanted to look away but couldn't, not with
Jiku's tight grip holding his face still. "I HAVE been watching you, after all..."
And everything suddenly clicked into Hakkai's mind, and his face paled.
He was telling the truth! He could care less about the Sanzo gang...
He only wanted him; Hakkai!
Hakkai struggled violently against his manacles, jerking wildly. "What's to stop me from manipulating chi and blasting my
way out of here?"
"Just thought of that? My. You're MUCH slower than what I thought you'd be."
Anger boiled in Hakkai's veins, and he glared up at Jiku.
"But you're more than welcome to try. I think you'll find...you can't use your chi here."
Hakkai fought and struggled, but no matter what he tried, he couldn't even make a bouncy ball sized chi ball.
"What...what the hell did you do to me?"
Jiku shrugged. "I've done nothing to you. Our location...prohibits it from you."
Hakkai's head throbbed once more, and he winced.
Too much for him to think about right now.
"See this button?"
Jiku pulled out something like a toggle stick with a button sticking out of it, and grinned as though this were the most
wonderful object in the world. "Would you like to see how it works?"
"I'd like to see you go to hell." Hakkai said, in no mood to humor his captor.
Jiku tsk-tsked, shaking his head. "Bad boy, I suppose I shall have to show you how it works, then."
Hakkai watched as Jiku clicked the button with a long-nailed finger, and nothing happened for a moment or two.
Then...
Hakkai writhed in pain, yelling out. His whole body...his mind...his bones...
It was as though everything was on fire...or he was being crushed alive.
He...couldn't breathe!
After thirty seconds or so of this, Hakkai fell forward, chain holding him a few inches off the ground.
"Hmm...I suppose I made the dose too strong...Hakkai?"
Jiku reached down, affectionately ruffling the unconscious demon's hair before exiting the cell, locking it securely and
whistling happily. "I'll make you see eye-to-eye with me...don't worry about that..."
Laughing, he strode away from Hakkai.
Chi: HAKKAI! -huggles her bishie close to her- Dont worry! I'll make the owies go away! I'll...get you ice cream!
