Natasha smiled slightly as her and Sanzo entered Rayne's house, her arms full of grocery's. She set them down on the table as she turned to Sanzo.
"Thanks Sanzo for the help," She smiled at him. Sanzo just stood there staring at her. He hated feeling like this every time he looked at her. He crossed to the room until he stood in front of her. He gripped her shoulders a little roughly.
"Stop it! Stop making me feel like this!" Sanzo yelled.
"Sanzo..." Natasha said, her voice a little frightened. She couldn't believe that she had fallen for such a violent man. Sanzo leaned down to lay a kiss on her lips when a loud thump came from Rayne's bedroom.
"What's that?" Natasha asked as she pulled away from an annoyed Sanzo.
Sanzo and Natasha glanced at each other. Sanzo pulled out his gun and kept it to his side as he headed towards Rayne's bedroom. Natasha followed, taking out her sword. Sanzo entered the room first and Natasha followed him in. It was pitch black. Sanzo turned on the light.
"Rayne!" Natasha cried out as she saw her unconscious friend on the floor. She rushed to her side and checked her pulse. She let out a breath when she found the pulse though it was a little weak. Sanzo walked in further when the door slammed closed behind him. He whirled around to see Gojyo, a worried expression on his face.
"Thank god you're here Sanzo. I came in looking for Hakkai or the monkey when I heard something from in here. I walked in to find Rayne unconscious," Gojyo said seeming to act normal. Sanzo just nodded as he walked over to Natasha who was trying to wake up Rayne which didn't seem to be much help.
"Rayne, come on! Wake up!" Natasha shook her friend but it didn't do anything. Sanzo knelt down beside her.
"We need to get her to the local doctor," Sanzo said gruffly as he motioned to the large bleeding wound on Rayne's head. Natasha nodded. Sanzo bent down and was about to pick up Rayne when a shot was fired hitting him in the shoulder. Sanzo fell to the ground, clutching his wound.
"Sanzo!" Natasha screamed as she whirled around to see who had fired the gun. Gojyo stood there, a grin on his handsome face and Rayne's banishing gun pointed at Sanzo's head.
"Gojyo! Why? Why are you doing this!" Natasha screamed.
Gojyo just started laughing but the gun in his hand did not waver from its target. Natasha became angry as she gripped her sword.
"Now, now, that's not fair now is it? Drop the sword or you're monk will die by his own kind of weapon," Gojyo laughed again and Natasha noticed the cold, unfamiliar look in his eyes. Someone had corrupted Gojyo. This made Natasha mad but she knew that this Gojyo would kill Sanzo. Natasha clinched her teeth together as she put the sword down.
"That's a good girl. Now how about we make a deal? For the lives of Rayne and Sanzo..." Gojyo said grinning again but he kept the gun pointed at Sanzo. Natasha didn't know what to do but she was defense less. She couldn't kill Gojyo for this wasn't really him. And anyways if she tried he would still be able to kill Sanzo before she got to him.
"Fine...What do you want?" Natasha asked.
"You. I want you," Gojyo said as he started laughing again. Natasha was about to protest but Gojyo saw this coming and he pulled the hammer back on the gun and kept it steady on Sanzo's head.
"What will it be my dear? You're lovers life or will you be mine? Make the choice, I am getting impatient," Gojyo growled sounding less and less like himself. Natasha hesitated as she glanced down at the unconscious forms of her friends. She then looked back up at Gojyo.
"Fine...I will go with you," She said finally.
"Perfect, now walk over here slowly but leave your weapon behind," Gojyo grinned, finally getting what he wanted for so long.
Natasha shuddered as she started to head over there but someone gripped her leg. She turned to see Sanzo helping himself up.
"Don't you dare go with him," He growled as he stood infront of her. He started to raise his gun but his right shoulder still held the grave wound.
"You will not interrupt me this time Sanzo,"Gojyo growled, his voice sounding different as he shot Sanzo in the stomach.
"Sanzo!" Natasha yelled as she went to help him but Gojyo gripped her arm painfully.
"Forget him! You are mine now!" He yelled as he pulled her into a rough kiss.
Suddenly a big bang was sounded as the door slammed open. Gojyo was about to turn to the intruder when he was smacked roughly in the head. Gojyo growled in pain as he let go of Natasha and turned to face who had attacked him.
"Goku! Thank god you're here!" Natasha said relief in her voice.
"What's going on! What happened to Sanzo and Rayne and what's with Gojyo?" Goku asked still facing Gojyo with his weapon.
"I don't have time to explain but someone has corrupted Gojyo. It's still him so don't kill him...just render him defenseless!" Natasha called out as she knelt beside the bleeding Sanzo.
"Finally, I get to beat up the perverted water sprite!" Goku said gleefully.
"You won't defeat me!" Gojyo growled as he aimed the gun but Goku knocked it out of his hand sending it flying across the room.
"You little-" But Gojyo didn't finish his statement as Goku added a baray of attacks on Gojyo finally knocking him unconscious. The door burst open as a wounded Hakkai came in, Cat in his arms. Cat knew that he couldn't do anything in his present form so he went to tell Hakkai where they all were.
"Rayne!" Hakkai called as he wobbled over there letting Cat go. Cat ran over to Natasha who was busy trying to stop Sanzo's bleeding. Everything seemed so chaotic.
