Back at the castle Kougaiji placed the girl in her room. Carefully he looked at her wounds, none were serious, just some minor scraps and bruises.
"All right, let's try this again." Kougaiji sat across from her. Looking into her eyes he spoke clearly and slowly. "What is your name?"
"L-L-Li-Liath." She stuttered. Her silvery eyes widened and she dropped her gaze to the ground.
"Liath." Kougaiji said, mimicing the way she said her name. "Kougaiji" He said and pointed to himself. "Liath" He pointed to her.
"L-Liath." She copied his motions but pointed to herself. "K-K-Kou-Kou-Kou-gai-gaiji. Kougaiji." Some of the syllables were pronounced wrong but for the most part she got it right.
"Good." Kougaiji smiled. Yaone opened the cell-like door. Liath growled and bared her teeth. If Kougaiji hadn't grabbed her collar she would've attacked the demoness. "You know not to come in here Yaone, she could've killed you." He said. After settling Liath down he went out of the room. "What do you want?"
"I was just going to see if you were all right. I mean, after the fight and then being alone with that beast." Yaone said, nearly in tears. She hugged Kougaiji, clutching his coat.
"She's not a beast, Yaone, she's been brain washed." He shoved her away.
"She still acts like one!" Yaone gasped sharply when Kougaiji's clawed hand met the side of her face. Turning on her heel Yaone sprinted down the hall.
"I seriously hope Hakkai doesn't end up with her." Kougaiji muttered.
Everyone settled into their own rooms at the inn in the next town. It was dark and everyone had turnned in for the night. Little did they know, they had a suprise waiting for them.
Christy's room
It was around midnight, and christy was asleep. Her door opened and then closed, causing her to wake up. She looked over her shoulder, because she was facing the wall, and saw Sanzo looking down at her. It wouldn't be so bad, except Christy was only sleeping in a tanktop and underwear.
She made sure she was covered all the way before she spoke. "Uh... Sanzo? Is there something you want?" Sanzo grinned and sat down on her bed, making her feel very uneasy. "Sanzo... could you please leave." The same grinn played across his face as he leanned over Christy. Then in an instant she saw in his eyes, aflicker of malace. This was NOT Sanzo.
She hit him hard across the face, and continued to attack him. While she had time, she grabbed a dagger and stabbed the fake Sanzo untill he was dead. Then it turnned into a pile of dirt, after all, it was only a shinkagami.
Sanzo's room
Sanzo sat on his bed, unable to sleep, when a knock came at the door. He didn't answer. "Sanzo? Can I come in?" It was Christy. She walked in without him saying ok. As she came in she was suprised to se his gun pointed at her.
"I don't remember saying you can come in."
"Well, I... I guess I'm kind of scared. It's kind of strange that we havn't been attacked yet ya know." Sanzo lowered his gun, and Christy sat down next to him. A minute passed, then Christy turnned to speak. "I-I have to admit, I really like you." She moved closer to him, and he backed away slightly. "What's wrong? Don't you like me? I could have sworn you did."
Sanzo remained silent, but you could tell the answer was yes. She moved even closer to him so that there faces were almost touching. Then, when he didn't try to move, she kissed him. light at first then she went in deep, making him lay on his back on the bed.
She then heard a clicking noise. She looked up to see Sanzo's gun pointed right at her head. "What the... Sanzo? What's wrong? What are you doing?"
"You made a big mistake." Christy looked at him innocently. "Christy is way too shy to do what you just did. Expecially with what happened a couple of days ago." He paused for a second. "And never fuck with my emotions again." Then a shot rang through the house.
Aura's room
There was a knock at the door of Aura's room. She answered it, and it turnned out to be Hakkai. He came into the room and closed the door behind him. He immediatly grabbed Aura and kissed her. Aura was shocked. "Hakkai... what are you...?" He cut her off by kissing her again, but deeper (french kissing).
She pushed Hakkai away. "I can't belive I just did that, but it just dosn't feel right."
"What's wrong?" He said with a grin on.
"You're not Hakkai, that's what's wrong."
"But its me, cant you tell?" He said slyly.
"Go to hell." She replied, then killed the shinkagami.
Hakkai's room
Hakkai was half asleep when Gojyo barged in, compleatly drunk. "My, my Gojyo, to what do I owe this unexpected visit.? Hakkai asked.
He walked over to where Hakkai was, and punched him really hard in the face. Before Hakkai could block the next attack, Gojyo struk again. He almost struch again, but Hakkai blocked the attack. "Gojyo please stop this or I will get violent, weather you're drunk or not." As hakkai charged a chi blast, her heard a gunfire from Sanzo's room. "Looks like I can kill you without remorse now." Within seconds the shinkagami Gojyo was dead.
Gojyo's room
Aura entered Gojyo's room while gojyo was asleep. She walked across the room and woke him up. "I thought you were mad at me" he said questioningly.
"I was, but I've decided to forgive you."
"Is that all?"
"Actually..." She said in a semi suductive tone, than sat down beside Gojyo. She stared into his crimson eyes. "I'd like to get to know you." She said and placed a hand on his chest, and moved herself closer to him.
Gojyo took the invitation and kissed her. They madeout for a short whild when Gojyo senced the dagger that Aura had ready to plunge into his back. "Sorry babe, I don't swing that way" he wispered, and killed tha shinkagami.
He walked out into the hall where he met up whith everyone else (everyone was now fully clothed). "Where's the chimp?" He asked and everyone barged into Goku's room. There was a knocked over chair, the remains of a Shinkagami, and Goku fast asleep.
Christy spotted a note on the floor and read it. "Hey guys, look at this.." She read the not out loud. "I hope you had fun tonight, I know I sure did. But if you want some real action, come to a little party a few of my friends threw together. I promise you won't be bored, and if you're lucky you might get a chance to take home a lovely sutra. Much love, Ni-chan 3 P.S. the location is about twenty liles from where you are staying, in a big black house (castle), you can't miss it."
"That just screams TRAP." Aura said.
"But we could get Sanzo his Sutra back"
"We're going." Sanzo said simply and they all went off to bed.
"Its might scream trap but I want to go kill Ni-san" stated/whined Arua
"You know Arua is somewhat right..Ni-san,ex-sanzo priest,techonalget for the revial of the ox king god." Christy said somwhat quietly
Sanzo and Hakkai look at each other then the girls
"YOU GIRLS ARE CRAZY! HOT BUT CRAZY! Sanzo, Hakkai get your girlfriends undercontrol!" yelled Gojyo but teasingly
Sanzo pulled out his gun and aimed it at Gojyo's head "Do you want to die?"
"Eh..not now"
"Sanzo and Hakkai have girlfriends WHERE!" Goku asked the last part
"What did you want us for Ni?" Kougaiji asked, his hand on the clasp of Liath's collar.
"No need to become violent Mi'Lord. To answer your question though, I've asked you here for a little party." Ni smirked. He pushed a button and shackles chained Kougaiji, Doku (Dokugaiji), Lirin, and Yaone to their chairs. He approached Liath, who sat on the ground at Kougaiji's feet. Liath snarled as he got closer. Kougaiji managed to unhook the collar and it fell to the ground. Suddenly Liath transformed into a massive black wolf. Liath knocked Ni off his feet and growled deep in her throat.
"I'll call her off if you let us go." Kougaiji said. Ni shook his head. "Liath, lower." Liath dropped her head lower on Ni's body. Ni's squeal rang through the castle.
Liath became human once again. "Liath, hit the button." Kougaiji said and nodded towards the remote that Ni dropped. Liath hit the blue button. A shackle went across their throats. "Wrong button" Kougaiji exclaimed. Liath hit the yellow button that released them.
"Liath good?" She asked.
"Yes, Liath very good." Kougaiji smiled and stroked her hair. Doku smirked at him. "What?" Kougaiji asked.
"Nothin' Kou." Doku said.
Before the Sanzo-ikku left for the castlethe next day, They all ate a big lunch. They soon found out that Goku wasn't the only one with a large stomach, but So did Christy. They ended up fighting over the last meatbun (Christy won). Since the girls had forgiven Gojyo because of the incident lastnight, they weren't using Sanzo as a barrier any more. The problem was, he still had to sit in the back, because Aura beat him to the front seat. So sanzo wouldn't loose his temper too easily, Christy sat inbetween him and the other two.
It took about an hour to get to the castle, and during the ride, Christy had fallen asleep, and her head rested on sanzo's shoulder. That wouldn't have been too bad, if Hakkai didn't hit a bump, making her fall into Sanzo's lap. He was afraid that if he moved her she would wake up, so he left her alone, threatening to kill GOjyo and Goku if they woke her up. Hakkai saw this threw the mirror and smiled, he glanced over at Aura and blushed slightly.
When they finally got there, Sanzo gently woke Christy up, and the all (including Hakuryuu) made their way up to the castle, where unknown horrors awaited them
"Hey guys" Aura said randomly said as they were driving toward they house/caslte.
"What?" Christy asked her sitting between Goku and Sanzo as Gojyo said on the other side of Goku smoking a sig.
"What or who do you think will be waitting there for us?" Aura as she glanced at Hakkai then Gojyo
"Dunno just as long as there are babes" Gojyo said looking beyond the horazine in thought
"Got me I JUST HOPE ITS FOOD" yelled the every bottomless pit monkey
Almost everyone sighed as a fight began between Goku and Gojyo almost making them fall off a clif AGAIN!
"It is a beautiful day today?" Hakkai comented/asked
"You are crazy" Christy mumbled to herself
When they finaly found the location, and entered the building, it was seemingly empty. "If there are any demons here, they're doing a skillful job of hiding their aura." Hakkai stated.
Goku sniffed the air. "I smell food!"
A girl with red hair and eyes, scantialy clad in black and red came out from the shadows. "Greetings honored guests. I am Saris, and if you will, please follow me to the dining room. My master is waiting."
Gojyo hurried beside her."So... hows about later you and me--" He made to wrap his arm around her when she grabbed it and threw him back. "OW! THE PAIN!"
"If there are no further distractions, please follow me."
Gojyo waked behind her at a safe distance. Sanzo hit him really hard with his fan, and Hakkai smiled, supressing a laugh. But Goku, who cant supress things like Hakkai, burst out laughing. The girls marvled at the strength of the girl.
"I bet I could take her" Aura muttered to Christy.
"You may have your chance if this is set up like i think it is." Christy said to her, then a thought crossed her mind. "Wait a minute, isn't she taboo?"
That seemed to have caught the attention of the rest of the group. "I think you're right" Hakkai said cheerfully behind them.
They entered the dining room and saw a cloaked man sitting next to a man wearing a white lab coat and has black hair (Ni-chan). The girl stopped at the table. "Master, your guests are here."
"Please sit down." He said to the group with a evil grin on his face. "I promise not to bite." he said mockingly. "yet"
The table only had six more seats at it (enough for the sanzo-ikku to sit there), Goku sat by Ni, Christy next to goku, sanzo at the other end of the table. Aura was on sanzo's other side, Hakkai was next to her, and Gojyo was next to Hakkai and the cloaked man.
He surved them all dinner, sanzo didnt touch a thing (but goku did!). Sanzo stared at the cloaked man and glared at him. "Enough of this bullshit, who the hell are you and why are we here?"
The man chuckled. "How rude of me Genjo Sanzo, I am one of the many sons of Hyakuganmaou of the thousand eye demon tribe."
Hakkai stopped what he was doing and starred in shock at the mand. He lowered his cloaks hood, to reveil a face not too different from Chin Iisou's.
"Suprised? I thought you would be." He grinned at Hakkai. "You're the one who killed my father and my brother. That takes skill you know. How dose it feel Cho Gonu, to know you are eating a meal with one of the sons of the man who rapped your beloved sister. She was more than just a sister to you wasn't she?"
Hakkai had his fists clenched, his face was drained of color with a mixed expression of terror and loathing on his face. Aura slammed her fists down on the table. "Shut the hell up you fucking asshole!"
"She killed herself didn't she? I don't see why. My father is always so sweet to the ladys. He didn't hurt her. She was fine when you saw her right. He gave her a special... present. She would have given birth to a beautiful taboo child. She wasn't racist was she?"
Aura jumped up from her seat and made to attack the Youkai. He lashed out and grabbedd her, and pulled her close. The rest of the sanzo-ikku stood up ready to fight. "Is this another one of yours Gonou? Mabye you should stop bringing your women around my clan."
"LET ME GO YOU PERVERT!" Aura yelled.
"No struggling, it'll just be more painful that way."
Gojyo summoned his shakujo and made it slice the demons head off, and it turned to dust. "Shit, it was only a shinkagami" They turned to where Ni was, and he was gone, he left a note.
Hakkai went over to Aura and hugged her tight. "It's alright, I've got you now, you're safe."
Christy read the note. it read: I hope you all enjoyed dinner, the real fun happens later tonight. 3 signed, Ni Jieni and Hakku Iisou
