A Portal through Time
Chapter 4
Days went by and as Sanzo told me to do, I tried not to create too much attention but no matter what I do, people always notice me everyday. Good thing Kaname-chan is with me or else I'll never know how to handle everyone.
I had been in the school for quite sometime and finally, an event was coming. It was something called Christmas Party so that the class could have a Christmas celebration together since Christmas, as to what they call it, is a holiday. It was said to be the birth of someone called Jesus Christ.
We were informed that the party would be 5 days before Christmas and since Christmas is on December 25, so the party would be on December 20. Hmm... 3 more days to go.
I was really excited about it. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys something, it was gonna be a costume party and I am gonna dress as myself, Son Goku back in Tougenkyo.
I just realized this but I never actually told Sanzo about anything about my experiences. It was December 17 when I was going to tell Sanzo everything about it. But before I started to say anything, he asked me to cook something for dinner, again.
That was when I discovered his secret. He seemed to have forgotten to keep it after he cooked lunch that day. Well...there… was… A… COOKBOOK in the KITCHEN! No wonder his cooking was so good and the best part is, it was an easy to cook cookbook another reason how he was able to follow it so easily. I had a big grin on my face. A very big grin.
I scanned through the cookbook ad found a very yummy looking dish. I was very excited but before I could start cooking, Sanzo called out from the other room.
"Just call me when you've finished cooking, I'll be in the tv room," he shouted.
I didn't answer back because I was really very excited. Baked Spare Ribs as what it was called. I started preparing it. Surprisingly, all the ingredients were there in the kitchen. I followed every single thing written under Baked Spare Ribs and after 40 minutes of heat and such fine aroma, the dish was ready. It was served with another thing called Mash Potatoes. Then I started preparing the table and called Sanzo.
We started eating and it tasted so good! I couldn't believe that it tasted that well. This was when I started sharing my experiences and though it seemed like Sanzo wasn't listening, I knew he was listening. A proof to that is that when I said Kaname-chan, he seemed quite surprised. But he didn't say a word.
I started yapping again about the boring lessons, the girls following me around, the Christmas party and everything else. Then I remembered something.
"I just remembered, Kaname-chan is gonna come here to get her iPod video since she let me borrow it," I told Sanzo.
But he wasn't really interested about that at first. He just asked me, "This Kaname of yours, what is she like?"
I didn't expect him to be so interested about Kaname-chan but well I just told him about her features, her kindness, that she's our neighbor and her drawings of Tougenkyo scenery. Come to think of it, I haven't actually asked her about that.
Sanzo was stunned as I told him more about her.
"Sanzo? Are you alright? Hello?" I tried to break the trance he was in but failed to do so.
The doorbell rang. "That must be her," I said out loud. The next thing I knew, Sanzo already opened the door.
Sanzo's eyes widened as he saw Kaname-chan standing on the doorstep. "You!" he said to Kaname-chan. "Why the hell are you here?"
"Huh?" Kaname-chan became confused, "Didn't Goku tell you? I'm just here to get my iPod."
"Stop pretending as if you don't know what I'm talking about!" Sanzo was really enraged though I didn't know why at first.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Kaname-chan was getting pissed off.
"Why are you here in the 21st century? You're supposed to be in Tougenkyo!" he said, clutching her shirt in his fists.
Pain shot through Kaname-chan's head as Sanzo clutched her shirt. She held her head in pain as Sanzo let go.
"I'm sorry, my head hurts I've gotta go. Just return my iPod to me tomorrow Goku," she told us and left.
"Why did you do that Sanzo?" I asked him in worry and frustration.
"She," he started, "is a pure blooded youkai just like you and she was asked by the Kami-sama to transport us here in the 21st Century so that you will be able to experience the freedom of life for a period of time. But she seemed to have lost her memory."
"Huh? What do you mean?" I didn't really understand why.
"Being a pure-blooded Youkai as you are, I was asked to accompany you here so that you can experience being normal for a while and be able to handle your emotions. She is supposed to be the portal, our portal back to Tougenkyo. Only she could unleash enough power to open up a portal through time and now only a powerful emotion can allow her to unleash that power again.
I didn't say anything not even the fact that she didn't have a gold crown on. The conversation was over then Sanzo asked me to go to bed as I obediently did.
