* THE DAY BEFORE*
Dr. Nii walked into Gyumoah's chamber, catching the attention of a very bored Lady Koushu. "Oh Nii, it's you, I'm so glad you're here. I am very bored, Nii, perhaps you could keep me company for a little while." Lady Koushu grinned.
Nii laughed, "Perhaps I could entertain you with an idea first. I'm very sure it's one to get quite a rile out of you." Nii shot back his ever mischievous grin as Lady Koushu rubbed the boredom from her eyes.
"Alright, what do you have in mind?" Gyumoah's concubine made herself comfortable, leaning over in her chair and putting her cheek in her hand.
"My studies and observations of the Sanzo party have shown that the demons attacking them just aren't strong enough. My guess to this is that the little shred of free will still active in each of them is taking up valuable space in their consciousness." Nii paused for Lady Koushu to catch up.
"Go on."
"Well, say that we create a mixture of extreme hallucinogens and..." Nii hesitated unsure of how Lady Koushu would take his next thought.
"And what?"
"I was thinking the only ingredient left would be a sample of Gyumoah's blood. However, I'll understand if you do not wish to go ahead with this operation."
Lady Koushu paused for a moment, cleared her throat and started. "As always Nii, you disappoint me in some way. " Koushu grinned at Nii's slightly embarrassed reaction. "But only because you did not think of this a little sooner. I will agree with you that Gyumoah's essence will no doubt make this plan all the more successful. Besides I'm sure My Love would understand the need for his blood for the operation. Although I'm a little confused at how this mixture will be administered."
"Well My Lady, it's very simple really," Nii cleared his throat. "You see, rain clouds have been moving into close proximity of the Sanzo party's location. I believe that by having someone pilot the newly remodeled disseminating air cruiser above cloud level, the operator could so-to-speak crop dust the hydro-activated powder over the rain clouds. Then when it does rain, the powder should infuse with the water droplets which will ultimately effect and strengthen all demons in the area. And here's the thing, when I say all demons I mean as such. The mixture should be powerful enough to effect those with power limiters and even hybrids. Thus, not only causing the Sanzo party's enemies in the area to become more of a nuisance, but it will tear the party apart from the inside. After all, the group is almost three-fourths demon." Nii finished his proposition with his usual cocky grin as he saw the more-than-pleased reaction from Lady Koushu.
"We will find an operator for the air cruiser immediately. Thank you, Nii"
Nii bowed and made his way to the door, hugging and whispering some loose thoughts to Bunny.
"Oh Nii?" Lady Koushu purred from behind him. "I never said I was done with you."
Nii stopped in his tracks and chuckled softly, "Well we better had put Bunny somewhere where he can't see us then, hm?"
Unknown, the son of Gyumoah, Kougaji, listened silently with his back against the cold, marble pillar just outside his father's chamber, grumbling at the act that was about to take place. But for once he found himself mentally praising one of Nii's plans. That freak might actually be on to something. "...But he's still a sick bastard," Kougaji thought aloud to himself in attempt to drown out the noises coming from the chamber. Kougaji made his way down the dark hall to inform Yaone and Dokugakugi about the plan in progress, wishing the hall didn't allow so many unwanted sounds to echo. "Stupid slut," Kougaji growled as he stepped deeper into the dark hall.
*THREE DAYS LATER*
The merciless sun beat down on the westward band just as the merciless priest gave concussion upon concussion to those in the back seat. Everyone was bored out of their skull as the landscape provided nothing but the occasional rock formation. Finally, Hakkai's curiosity took hold and he cautiously asked, "Sanzo, I noticed you were a bit
uh--"
"A bit what?"
"Well, I'm just curious as to why you've been a bit more agitated than usual these past few days."
Maybe cuz he has a fucking redwood tree up his ass, Gojyo thought bitterly as he rubbed his bruised head, unintentionally biting down on his cigarette.
"Fine," Sanzo sighed. "You really want to know? Three things..."
Gojyo and Goku both sat up and quieted as the answers to their curiosity were about to be answered.
"One, it's hotter than hell out here. Two, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumbass won't shut up." Sanzo paused and Hakkai multitasked by urging him on and quieting the severely offended backseat riders.
"And three?"
"And three..." Sanzo lowered his voice. "I just have a really bad feeling about the days ahead of us."
Hakkai put on one of his best comforting smiles. "Not that I doubt your holy intuition, Sanzo. But we've had a streak of pretty good luck lately. However, I'm not saying we should have our guard down. You're just stressing yourself out. I could suggest you just rest a little while."
"And I could suggest you just drive."
Hakkai laughed, not phased in the least by the harsh tone of voice of the ruthlessly irritated priest beside him. "Ok, shutting up."
Sanzo was just about to close his eyes when he was tapped on the shoulder from behind. "Hey Sanzo?" It was Goku. "Am I Tweedle Dee?"
"Not anymore."
"Oh...Hey!"
Hakkai and Gojyo couldn't help but laugh a little until Gojyo realized who he was originally meant to be. "Fucking monk," Gojyo mumbled. Though he figured he'd just drop it there, it was too hot to really do anything about anything and he sat back cracking open a disgustingly warm beer. He pulled out a Hi-Lite and lit it up, soon forgetting about the whole issue.
