Sanzo: -fires at Michiru-

Note: Okay, I'm hoping this chapter is better. Been busy and all with setting up my new co-author SnowfireFox on my account since she can't get her own. Also the HSPA are starting and they are a pain. Go figure huh? So far HakkaixOC is in the lead at two votes, though I had only one review. My friends are reading this as I complete each chapter too. GokuxHakkai got one vote as well. Well please review!

Werecat Rei- Thanks for the review. Yeah demons in the real world are a pain. They don't last long though for some reason. Maybe because the real world can't handle the DNA of demons.

Chapter 5: The Secret That is No More

Demons surrounded the group in the main hall of Michiru's summerhouse; the Sanzo Party was ready to fight them.

"Back down," a cold voice called out to the demons, "Michiru is mine." The demons moved aside and a young boy of 12 came out of the shadows. He had short blonde hair, black eyes, and he was wearing a business suit with a tie. "It is nice to see you again Michiru."

"Sutorei… I never thought that you would have found out how I escaped with Dragon," Michiru said in a calm tone.

"This is Dragon's brother?" Gojyo asked. Dragon looked at Sutorei with tears in her eyes. She buried her head in Gojyo's embrace.

"Well I am surprise that you are still alive Onee-san. That will change soon. I will kill you all and take Michiru as my wife," Sutorei said.

"You will not lay a hand on my wife…" Sanzo grunted.

"Your wife you say… Well Sanzo that is really out of character for you to say," Sutorei joked.

"Hnn…" Sanzo grunted again.

"You are not laying one finger on Michiru!" Goku yelled.

"I'm not letting you touch her either brat," Gojyo said.

"I must agree with them there," Hakkai said.

"Onee-san will never belong to you Sutorei!" Dragon yelled while shaking her fists at him.

"We will see about that," Sutorei said. He disappeared and then appeared behind Michiru and grabbed her. They both disappeared in front of the rest of the group. The demons suddenly started coming after the Sanzo Party. Sanzo got out his gun and started shooting at the demons. Dragon and Goku were joining forces and knocked about three of them into the ground. Gojyo kept slicing the demons that came on him in two. Hakkai shot chi balls into the group hoping to cut their numbers.

"There are too many," Gojyo stammered. He sliced open another demon, which it was only replaced by two more. A light filled the room and the demons were destroyed by its piecing brightness.

"Need some help?" a sweet voice asked. Dragon blinked a few times before the spots cleared from her eyes. She looked at the girl in front of her. This girl looked to be about 22 years old and had silver hair with golden eyes. She was wearing a priestess kimono with sandals.

"Nina!" Dragon called out! She ran over and jumped on Nina's back.

"Hey Dragon. You can get off me now," Nina said. Dragon jumped off of Nina and return to Gojyo's side. "Where is Michiru?"

"This brat named Sutorei took her," Sanzo said.

"It's a good thing I came then. Without her, you wouldn't be able to go back to your world to save her. We will have to go the fast way, but I hope our power can hold out," Nina said.

"And how would we get back? A sandstorm bought us here for some reason," Hakkai said.

"By this…" Nina said holding out a small chain. On the end of the chain was a hour glass that had silver sand on the top and black sand on the bottom. "It's called the Silverfayt after the maker of the charm. There are currently three known Silverfayts that exist today that me, Michiru, and one other person has."

"You seem very knowledgeable about other worldly artifacts," Hakkai commented. He studied the hourglass with interest.

"Yes that is because I am a Keiji Kakari (time keeper). I am the keeper of this hourglass and of the portals of our worlds," Nina said, "Also I am from another world myself. One that was destroyed long ago however."

"That seems very interesting. Maybe once we get out of this mess we could talk more," Hakkai suggested.

"Are you two done yapping? We need to get Michiru back!" Sanzo yelled at them. Nina smiled and walked around the group in a circle, silver sand fell to the ground as she took each step. When the circle was complete, a single black grain of sand fell onto the pile of silver that spouted into silver flames around them. Then everything went black.

Michiru and Sutorei

Michiru open her eyes to see that see was tied up to a tree. A tree… You think that the villain would think of a better place to put his prisoner. But still a tree? Michiru cleared her vision and looked around at the surroundings. They were back in the desert and demons were all around the tree guarding her.

"You stupid kid! You're supposed to be a mastermind and all you can think of is tying me to a tree! You baka!" Michiru yelled.

"Oh shut up Michiru! You are always annoying when you yell!" Sutorei exclaimed. He was sitting on the ground just a few feet in front of her.

"Then why do you like me then?" Michiru asked.

"I like you for your power. I want to wield that power for myself," Sutorei replied.

"And how in the name of Hell did you get though that portal?" asked Michiru.

"That is my secret now," he said.

"Baka…" grunted Michiru. She looked around again and smirked. While she was wasting time talking to her captor, her hands were busy with the knife she had up her sleeve. Soon the ropes fell to the ground. "As I said… You are just another baka. You didn't even do the most important step when taking a prisoner. Make sure to strip them of all their weapons." Michiru pulled out her shotgun and pointed it at Sutorei. "Do you want to beg for your life, or take it like a man?" she asked.

"Heh… You are just a novice yourself Michiru," Sutorei replied. Michiru tried to step forward and found out she couldn't move her feet. She struggled against power and then relaxed. She slipped her hand in her pocket trying to get something out of it. "Looking for this?" he asked. Sutorei held out a chain with the Silverfayt on it. He dangle it just out of her reach.

"I'll get you yet Sutorei Ryushiro!" Michiru yelled.

Note: I didn't do any pairing plot with Nina yet since I was hoping for more reviews. Next chapter there will be a HakkaixNina pairing. My co-author is going to be mad though, she suggested GokuxHakkai lol.
