Disclaimer: I don't own Saiyuki blah, blah, blah…

A.N. Yeah, I know… I suck. I didn't touch my account for over a year. School's been hell, well, you know. The usual. I suck so much. Anyway, a lot has happened but hey, I'm sure wouldn't want to listen to my boring life consisting of twists and turns that makes me life miserable. And yeah… So help me God… Let me finish what I have started and maybe I will be at peace…. Oh and just so you know, I finished the 3 chapters of "It's Been Hell" but my computer crashed and I have to repeat it all over again….

Yes, as in English swearing. And yeah, there is going to be a little ity-bity warning that's not exactly lime but goes near to it (call it lime if you will), or maybe you call it making-out. I guess they're going to raise the rating now smirks I'm very serious about this, by the way. This is a WARNING to those people who doesn't like read these things.

Gojyo ½

Act 8 – My Crimson Moon (Part 3)

"Homura!"

Humora smirked and edged closer to the staggered girl. It occurred to him that if Kenren were to back more than she already had, she would fall down the window that she was sitting on. It also occurred to him that if that ever happened, he would be the only thing that would be keeping her alive.

He smiled. He liked that idea.

"Careful, Kenren, or you might find yourself falling," Homura said. And he didn't only mean it as literal falling as he emphasized the word with a distinctive intonation. Gojyo heard it. It made her flushed and angry to have it, more so because it came from an enemy.

"Asshole."

"Careful of what you say," Homura said half-heartedly with a smile. "You know who's in charge in this situation you have gotten yourself into."

Gojyo just glared at him and edge further, not caring if it would probably end her life. She knew that a couple of more inches would make her fall. And if her chances were good, Homura wouldn't be able to catch her. Or rather wouldn't even bother to catch her.

Her plan though was rudely interrupted when Homura suddenly, in a blink of an eye, caught her right wrist and crushed her body roughly with his.

"Argh!" Gojyo squirmed and fought to get the god away from her. The hold wouldn't let go. The hands that were clutching her right wrist and waist were locked and wouldn't let go of her. Still, she didn't stop fighting, she tried to punch the god with her left hand.

Homura was only incited to hold her more. But he knew that in a moment's time, she would stop. Because he was going to do something about it.

Gojyo didn't know what to do, he was about to have a little help with his weapon when he suddenly felt something that made him freeze and tense up. Homura's hand that was clutching her waist suddenly traveled, without her consent, down to her back and stopped just above her bottom. Her breathing suddenly stopped and her heart abruptly started beating twice as fast as before.

Just as Homura predicted, Gojyo stopped whatever kind of movement that she was doing and froze. He smirked and knew that his eyes were sparkling with mischief at the very moment, because in that very moment, he can do anything. In fact, he can do everything.

It took decades and centuries before he could touch another human or at least something that was near to a human. He knew that this girl was half-demon and the fact that the one human that he was touching was also a god in a former life. But just to touch another flesh that did not hide it's imperfections took him to a higher level of bliss. He closed his eyes and placed his face nearer to the redhead and smelled her. Taking the chance when he felt that Gojyo did not object, went nearer and settled at the junction of the neck and shoulders.

Gojyo found her voice at last but still not her strength. "What…do you want from me?"

Homura closed his lips at the flesh and started nibbling. Gojyo gasped and started to slowly struggle. But Homura would not have it. The hand at the back was swiftly on her bottom and began to knead. The struggling died a little but a noise of discomfort was heard coming from the redhead.

"Stop it."

Homura suddenly started to lick the skin and bite harder. Gojyo whined and continued to stop the god's massage in the different part of her body.

"Stop it!"

She thought of anything but this moment. She tried to. Hakkai, where are you now? She knew that her best friend was with Sanzo and Goku. She knew that they were going to find her one way or the other… At least she hoped that they would.

She transferred her mind to another point in time. The times when he first met Sanzo and Goku, and how Sanzo always tried to keep his cool but failed because of the little monkey. They were always fighting. With each other. But it was always in a good way. Sanzo cared a lot for Goku; he can't hide that fact. After all, since when do you just keep a kid and take care of it even if you haven't met him before, right?

That reminded him of a similar situation. Hakkai. Gojyo has just found the man, half-dead and decided to take care of him all of a sudden. Maybe it was just an on-the-stop decision or maybe because he had… a connection with him…

Homura growled. Gojyo suddenly just stopped moving and seemed completely ignoring him. It irritated him to a level that he decided to do something about it. He took one more lick and nibble on the skin before he squeezed her ass harder and bit the skin he tasted.

"AH!"

That was when Homura decided to hurl her body to the bed beside the window.

Gojyo landed unexpectedly on her back on top of something soft. She gasped since before she could even move another body pushed her back on the bed. She felt her wrists being forced on top of her head as soft lips devoured her neck.

"Stop it!"

Before she could even stop what was happening, she felt a hand caressing her stomach slowly going upward to her breasts.

"Stop it!"

She struggled again and exerted more and more power to getting the god away from her. And then it happened. She began to glow.

Homura smirked. This is what he was waiting for.

Gojyo felt the urge to explode. She wanted to hurt Homura. She wanted him dead. The redhead was about to scream when the door rapidly opened.

Gojyo stopped her voice and found that the mouth was not on her neck anymore and the hand that was on her stomach was already still.

"Master Homura," a familiar voice said.

"Shien," Homura acknowledged him without moving from the position he had with Gojyo. He smiled as he saw something flicker in Shien's eyes for just a second before it was gone again.

"I am her here to inform you that the Sanzo is already in the inn near this place."

"Good, I'll be there in a moment."

"And—" Shien continued calmly.

"And?"

"And a certain demon is apparently tagging along."

"Hm?"

Gojyo's ears quirked at the metion of this 'certain demon'. Demon? Hakkai? Could it be him?

Shien just stared at Homura but it seemed that he got the message.

Homura narrowed his eyes at this. "What would that demon want? No matter," he said more to himself than the two others in the room. Homura turned to Gojyo once more. "Don't go anywhere."

Gojyo felt Homura move towards her again and slightly gave her a kiss on her cheek before she heard a soft 'click' on top of her head. "I'll be back."

Homura walked slowly to the door and stopped just at the hallway. And without turning back, he said, "I've neglected to inform you that you smell magnificent, just like a rose."

Gojyo, who have not moved from her spot on the bed, glared immensely at the ceiling.

"You should congratulate Shien for this. After all, he was the one who picked the flowers for you." And with that, he was off, casually walking through the halls like nothing happened.

While Gojyo has already has her eyes closed and breathed a sigh of relief. She appreciated the silence and wished for it to continue.

Shien watched with a curious eye where Homura had gone and looked back to Gojyo. He noticed that she was a little bit more relaxed than a while ago when he intruded on her and Master Homura. It pains him through, to see her doing something that she does not want. Yet he could not deny his Master.

He walked to the edge of the bed and faced the girl. She looked peaceful that he reached out to touch a strand of hair out of place. Just then he felt a sense of worry. Quickly as it came, he blocked and caught the punch that Gojyo had been waiting to deliver.

"Damn you!" She shouted, "What do you want? Do you want to do what he did to me? Or do you want to take things a lot further than he did!"

Shien sighed a sad sigh and sat on the bed. He removed a piece of cloth from his clothing and was about to put it on Gojyo's neck.

"What the hell are you doing!"

"Relax." That was the only thing that Shien said to her. Then he took two of his fingers and place it quickly on top of Gojyo's forehead.

"What the hell," But before the redhead could say anything further, her body tensed up and immobilized. She was about to think about all of the horrid things Shien could do to her when the god suddenly got up the bed and went out the door.

What seemed like a couple of minutes were like a moment's salvation to Gojyo. But Shien returned with a basin of water and a bandage. Gojyo tried to ask what he was going to do but her lips wouldn't move, instead, she followed his movements with her eyes.

Shien dipped the cloth lightly in the basin and ran it over the skin where Homura had bitten Gojyo.

"It's bleeding," he said simply.

Gojyo felt the cold-water sting her skin slightly and then turned into something soothing. She didn't realized that the bite made her bleed. She sighed in relief. She gulped in an amount of air and then slowly let it out. She could finally move but still seemed breathless from the technique Shien used and from the abuse he got from Homura.

"Why?" she finally choked out. Not really knowing what she truly meant by those words, but she felt that she had to say them.

Shien didn't hear anymore but that one simple word. He didn't need to. He knew that she wanted to know why she was here, and what they were going to do with her. But sadly, he mentally told himself, he did not know. He did not know what would happen to her or what she was doing here exactly but he didn't say it out loud.

"Is your neck feeling better, Kenren?" He asked quietly, trying to stir the question out of its course.

Gojyo felt her lips dry up so she licked them and began to speak. Her voice came out a little hoarse. "…Gojyo." She simply said. She didn't know why but she felt a little bit more secure with Shien than with Homura. She felt safe… like with Hakkai.

"What?"

"My name is Gojyo. I don't know this 'Kenren' shit," she said with only a mild form of disgust in her voice.

Shien chuckled a bit and smiled at her profane language. Gojyo raised her brow at this. "Oh, you do know this Kenren shit," he repeated the words with amusement. "You'll know soon."

Gojyo rolled her eyes, muttered a quiet 'whatever' and turned her head to the side, trying to avoid the other god's eyes. The pulse on her neck seemed to sound louder than her breathing. She still hasn't gotten over the fact that it bled because Homura bit it. It made her furious!

And then she realized that Shien was still holding the cloth on her neck. She contemplated a little and then decided. She slipped her hand on top of Shien's.

Shien's face showed nothing but surprise and then it returned to its normal state. He stared to her eyes even if they were looking at the other direction.

"I—I can hold it from here," Gojyo said slowly.

Shien contemplated whether or not to let go. He took a while and only decided to let go when he saw the redhead looking at him again. With a sigh, he slipped his hand away from her neck.

It was quiet; so quiet that you can hear the wind slapping against the window. Gojyo readjusted her hand and finally the silence was broken. There was a soft 'clink' heard and she turned her attention to her wrists. There were bracelets on. That was probably what Homura slipped on her.

"What—?" she started to ask but Shien interjected.

"I wouldn't run away if I were you with those things on."

"What?"

"Those things, they're like tracking devices and they prevent you from using your Jakujou while you're wearing that," he explained.

Gojyo widened her eyes but seemed to be only fazed a little. With a determined look on her face, she stretched up her free arm and concentrated. A ball of light appeared yet no Jakujou came out. She tried harder but it just won't come out. With a final breath, she stopped altogether and slumped a little forward, both of her arms very heavy at the moment.

"I told you, didn't I?" Shien readjusted the bloodied cloth again. He lingered his hand for a few seconds longer than what he had hoped for and then stood up. He gradually walked towards the door and then stopped knowing that Gojyo was going to ask him a question.

But Gojyo didn't ask a question. Instead, she said something that made him smile even further.

"Thank you… for the flowers."

Shien grunted his acknowledgement and then started walking again. He knew that Homura was waiting for him. He had to find out what the demon is doing here…

"What are you up to?" He asked to no one in particular. He sighed.

"What are you up to this time, Kougaiji?"

To Be Continued

>>falling: for those who didn't get the implication of this word. It meant two things: falling out of the window and falling in love.
