-Chapter 1-
Disaster Behind the Rain
"Thanks." Said Canon. He turned to smile at his drunken partner: Michelle. She had short brown, straight hair; and hazel eyes. Canon was registering for a hotel room, to get in bed. He, too, was drunk. Michelle touched his black hair, staring into his beautiful blue eyes. She closed her eyes slowly and rested her head on his chest; Canon put his hand on her back, rubbing it gently. "Ma'am, can you take us to our room? I'm afraid we won't be able to make it there."
The owner gave him a nod, took they key, and walked up the stairs to lead them to their room.
As they walk upstairs, the owner lends Canon the key, wished them a goodnight and locked the door. Canon put the key on the desk and turned around, seeing Michelle standing in front of the window. The moonlight shining on her so-perfect body. The good thing was that it's a full moon tonight.
Canon smiled as she smiled back, he walked up to her, standing with her in the moonlight. He ran his fingers through her hair, and put his lips on hers. Both are drunk, but they had control over their hormones. As the kiss deepened, they both broke away slowly away from the kiss, the moonlight shining into their eyes, revealing the true colors.
Michelle smiled, and dragged him to bed, and laid on top of him, kissing with lust and passion, and he did the same. After a few minutes, all of their clothes were off, and that's when Michelle started to growl and dig her nails into his upper arms, making it bleed a little.
"Oh, being a little rough now, are we?" Canon teased.
When Michelle lifted her head up to meet his eyes, Canon noticed something different about her: Her eyes changed to golden eyes, and hair was longer, down to her butt, and hair nails have grown rather quickly; she was transforming into a demon.
Michelle dug her nails deeper into his arm, making Canon wench in pain as he tried to struggle to get her off of him. Her growl became deeper as she tried to fight back, lifting up her claws to deliver the final blow.
"Arrgh!"
Blood splattered everywhere when she clawed his chest. She quickly jumped off him, staring at his cut-up chest and stomach that was made by her claws, the helpless victim. She stared at the blood that was on her hands and nails, and smirked.
By then, she jumped through the window, breaking the window glass, looking for her next victim…and leaving her clothes behind.
(Where the Sanzo party is)
The Sanzo party was stuck on the road, because once again, Hakuryu was sleeping. Hakkai, Gojyo, Goku, and Sanzo were all sitting in the jeep, waiting for him to wake up. The road they were on was in the middle of the forest, so it wouldn't be surprising if they come across a demon here.
The hanyou, Gojyo, took out a cigarette pack from his pocket and took a cigarette out from it, putting it in his mouth. He put the pack in his pocket and grabbed out a lighter and started to flick the switch to make the fire, but it was out of fuel. His red eyes went in rage, but he calmed down quickly. He ran his fingers through his crimson hair, sighing. He turned to Sanzo; his blonde-head friend's back facing him.
"Hey Sanzo, got a light?" Gojyo asked him.
Sanzo went into his pocket and threw the lighter at him, without even looking at him. Gojyo caught the lighter and started to flick the switch. All he saw was sparks coming out but no fire.
"Dammit, Sanzo! You gave me an empty one!" Gojyo shouted at him.
"That was the whole point in giving it to you," said Sanzo calmly.
"You don't need a stupid cigarette. Your breath smells like ass anyway," Goku smiled with humor. His golden eyes flickered with joy.
Gojyo turned to Goku. "What did you say, monkey!"
"You heard me!"
Gojyo quickly grabbed his short brown hair. "How about I dye your hair red!"
"No way, I don't want to look like you!"
"You're supposed to respect your elders!"
"Why would I respect you, you water sprite."
Gojyo was about to say more, but he stopped when he heard a gun shot from Sanzo. Both Gojyo and Goku looked at Sanzo, seeing him holding the gun, pointing in the air.
"Shut up! Or the last thing you'll hear is a gun shot to your head," said Sanzo angrily. They both kept quiet after that. That gave Hakkai a chance to speak.
"You know…you don't have to be so cruel to them," Hakkai said with a smile.
"They're annoying little assholes."
"I see…" As Hakkai looked up at the sky, he noticed the clouds were forming together.
Goku started to sniff. "I smell rain…"
"Hakkai, do we have anything to set up a tent here?" Asked Gojyo
"I'm afraid not," Hakkai answered him.
"Any money?"
"Yeah, but not much."
"Then wake up Hakuryu so we can go to a hotel."
"Even if I did wake him up, we won't make it to the next town."
"Then how long are we suppose to wait?"
"Until Hakuryu wakes up."
Gojyo growled to himself.
Hakkai had a feeling on why Gojyo wanted to leave so badly. It's because of the rain. Hakkai turned his attention to Sanzo, who was just calming himself down, because he also hates the rain, his arms was folded over his chest with his eyes closed and his leg on top of the other. The rain also makes Hakkai uneasy.
The rain always brings back bad memories upon them. Memories that want to be forgotten…that are never meant to be there. Gojyo only wishes for the rain to wash away his memories…of his mother…for Hakkai…and Sanzo…that is not revealed.
In the silence, Sanzo was trying to relax, but something kept on bothering him. He keeps hearing a rushing sound in the bush. But this time, it became a little loud. He looked to his left and saw nothing. Goku saw Sanzo's curious face and then questioned him.
"Is something wrong, Sanzo?" Goku asked him.
"It's nothing," Sanzo replied. Then rustle in the bushes became louder and both Sanzo and Goku looked at their left, seeing nothing. But they were worried, so they ignored it at first.
Hakkai wanted to say something to Sanzo about the rustle in the bushes, but he stopped as soon as he heard Hakuryu making a noise. He smiled, knowing that Hakuryu can now be their transportation again.
"Glad you're awake, Hakuryu. Now lets get going," said Hakkai, still smiling. Hakuryu made a happy cry, turning on his headlights. That's when it started to rain, hard. They were shivering from the cold, pouring rain.
"Hakkai…tell Hakuryu to step on it, "said Sanzo angrily.
"Right, Hakuryu-"
Hakkai's words were interrupted when he heard a big band on the hood of the jeep. Everyone's eyes closed shut, startled by it, but when they finally opened their eyes, all they saw was hard, pouring rain. But their vision became a little more clearer, a hand with nails as long as a regular demon, and the hand was leading to an arm, which lead to a body, a woman's body. She had long brown hair, and when Hakkai saw her eyes, he was surprised to see golden eyes that Goku have. When Hakkai looked deeper into her eyes, he saw hunger and anger…but all behind that, he saw a little bit of hope inside.
Hakuryu turned on his headlights and revealed the demon woman, also blinding her, the demon covered her eyes quickly. They were all speechless.
"Um…Hakkai…is she…?" Gojyo was to stunned to even finish the sentence.
"Yes, Gojyo. She is naked…but I can't stop wondering why…" said Hakkai.
"There's no time for that. It looks she's about to-" Before Sanzo could even finish what he was saying, Hakuryu started to cry out in pain. The demon woman was digging her claws into the hood of the jeep.
"Hakuryu!" Hakkai was starting to get worried now, so he wanted to act fast. But just before he could do anything, the demon woman jumped on top of the hood and started to observe the men in front of her. When she saw Goku and his golden eyes, she roared, and then she charged at him. Goku quickly jumped out of the jeep just in time, and landed on the wet ground. Goku almost slipped in the mud but quickly got back on his feet when she strike at him again, her claws becoming close to rip his face apart.
'She is starting to remind me of Goku when he turned berserk,' Gojyo thought to himself. "Damn! At least her hair is long enough to cover her ass!"
"Gojyo! That's too much information!" Hakkai exclaimed.
Goku put his hand on his right cheek, feeling something warm and red against it. He pulled his hand away from his cheek and looked at it, seeing the small amount of blood from his cheek, and the blood dripping from the scratch on it. He smirked and quickly wiped the blood from his cheek.
"You're pretty good…" said Goku. "Now it's my turn." He thrust his hand in the air, summoning his red-rod stick, Nyoi-Bou, twirling it around and getting ready to attack.
"Goku, don't!" Hakkai yelled out.
"Why the hell not?" Goku complained.
"Don't kill her, she's not a demon, she's human!"
"Wha…"
"How could that be? She can't be a hanyou, could she?" Gojyo questioned Hakkai.
"If she were, she would have the crimson hair and eyes."
"So what do you suggest for us to do?" Sanzo asked him.
"Knock her out, that way we can take her in and she can explain what's happening. I can only tell that she is a full human, not a demon, at all."
"Whatever, I don't really care. You guys can do whatever you want while I watch." Sanzo turned his back against them and started to walk to Hakuryu, took his usually seat, and watched them take care of the demon woman.
Hakkai smiled. "Sure, go right ahead."
"Wait a minute!" Gojyo shouted.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of it. Just help me and Goku out."
"Well if you don't want to kill this woman, then tell that to the monkey. You know how hard he punches."
"Believe me, Gojyo, I do know how hard he punches."
"Will you guys shut up and help me out here!" Goku yelled at them.
"Sorry about that!"
Gojyo smirked and turned his attention to Goku. "Wow, you really are a stupid monkey. You can't fight her by yourself, huh?" Gojyo was teasing him.
"Stop calling me stupid monkey, you damn water sprite!" Angered Goku.
"Gojyo, watch out!" Hakkai warned him, but it was too late.
Before Gojyo can even do anything to prevent this from happening, Gojyo was tackled in to the stomach by the demon woman, making him cough out blood and spilling it on her, causing him to fall on his back hard, pinning him to the ground hard.
"Damn bitch, get off!" Said Gojyo as he tried to struggle out of her grip. "A little help here!"
Goku gripped onto his Nyoi-Bou tightly and started to charge towards them. He first jumped in the air, and as he started to fall straight down to her, he swung his Nyoi-Bou down at the demon woman, but somehow, she suddenly disappeared and accidentally hit Gojyo's nose. Goku froze, he knew he broke Gojyo's nose…but he didn't know how deep in trouble he will be in later.
"Bastard!" Said Gojyo as he sat up and punched Goku in the face, causing him to fall down to the ground. "Are you really that stupid! You broke my nose!"
"Well, if you would've moved I wouldn't have to break your nose!" Goku shouted at him back.
"You dumbass! That demon woman was on top of me! How was I suppose to move exactly!"
"Guys, be quiet! I'm trying to focus!" Hakkai told them. Goku and Gojyo hushed after that, the three of them only hearing the sound of rain. Hakkai took in a deep breath, and exhaled. 'Alright…where are you…' He started to cast his sense out, searching through the bushes, behind the trees and in the trees. He can't sniff her out, because of the rain. Hakkai's eyes started to wander to his right, searching slowly and quietly for any movement in the bushes or the trees, he wandered through his left, doing the same thing. When he searched up in the trees, catching a glimpse of golden eyes behind the leaves and branches, he smiled and turned his back against the tree. "Well, I don't see anything."
Goku sighed. "Man, and I was just starting to have fun, too…" he said disappointedly.
Hakkai smiled softly, knowing the demon woman was going to charge at him any minute now. All he had to do is pretend he doesn't know she's there, and then she'll attack, and that's when he'll strike. And that's when it happened…she charged out from the trees and started to head straight to Hakkai.
"Hakkai, look out!" Before Goku could even help him, Hakkai turned to face the demon woman and gave her a good punch in the stomach, causing her to cough out her own blood from her mouth. She trembled as she tried to get her senses back, reaching her hand to Hakkai's shoulders, and started to dig her nails into his skin.
"Hakuryu!" Hakkai called out.
Hakuryu made a cry and turned on his headlights and aimed them at the demon woman. She couldn't help but stare at the lights. Her eyes widen at the sight, causing her to roar out in pain.
Sanzo, who was sitting in the jeep, was watching every moment of it. She was transforming back to normal. The sound of flesh burning was coming from her, and steam starting to appear from her. Her hair was starting to become shorter, her claws becoming regular human hands, and her hands changing to the color of hazel.
'Her eyes…they're changing color…so she really is human,' Sanzo thought to himself.
When the transformation was complete, she went on her knees, her eyes slightly open, staring at the four men, her vision getting blurry and then closing her eyes and fainted. Hakkai gasped and ran to her to check if she was all right.
"Thank goodness, she's alright," Hakkai said with relief.
"So now what do we do?" Gojyo asked him.
"I guess we take her with us to a nearby cabin, or something, we can't leave her like this." He turned to Sanzo. "Sanzo, can you get a blanket from the jeep? There should be one in the back."
Sanzo was mumbling curses under his breath as he got a blanket out of the jeep and brought it to Hakkai. Hakkai gently grabbed the blanket from Sanzo and wrapped it around the woman. He gently picked her up and carried her to the jeep. Gojyo and Goku started to follow and they all sat in the jeep. As Hakkai sat in his seat, he settled the woman on his lap, tucking her head under his chin and putting both hands on the wheel.
"Step on it Hakkai…I don't want to catch a cold, and if I do, I'll blame you for it," Sanzo said, roughly.
Hakkai smiled. "Yes, sir." He started the car and drove off into the rainy night, speeding in the forest.
