Amber and I snickered a bit as we watched Sanzo slowly try to wake himself up. He was sitting on the bed hunched over a bit and rubbing his eyes, he had low blood pressure in the morning and he was sluggish. Lynto and Kimiko had inched their way to the door just in case the trick was found out so they could make a run for it. Hakkai, Gojyo, and Goku watched with utter confusion at why we were laughing at Sanzo... Sanzo didn't have a clue either, he stood up and his feet shuffled across the floor. He walked to his bag and then picked it up before going to the bathroom, he then shut the door behind him. The sound of him locking the door filled the room and I looked at the bundle of clothes I had gotten from the inkeeper... I was hiding them behind my back, it would only be a matter of time before he would discover his clothes were gone... We heard the sound of the shower turned on and I laughed a bit to myself, he still didn't realize it... Suddenly we all heard the shower come to a complete stop... 'Oh crap... that was too quick for a shower' I quickly stood up and grabed Goku's hand then rushed toward the door, Amber following. Lynto grabbed Gojyo by his jacket's sleeve and tugged him out of the room, a confused look on his face. Kimiko and Hakkai quickly made their exit out of the room as well... I peeked into the room and saw Sanzo, he had a beige colored towel wrapped around his waist and his hair was dripping wet. I poked Amber in the side and she looked into the room as well... We all waited to see what would happen... Sanzo mumbled many curse words under his breath and then began to search our bags... none of us had his clothes... Kim had them in her bag so when he looked through Lynto, Amber, and my bag he cursed more... He then searched Goku's bag... then Gojyo's... he didn't search Hakkai's or Kimiko's bag.. He cursed again and then noticed the bundle of clothes on the floor... He picked them up and then went back to the bathroom, shutting the door behind him... I sighed and walked back into the room, Amber followed right behind me and I put my hands on my hips.
"It looks like he fell for it" I whispered to Amber, she smiled brightly and gave a nod before zipping her backpack back up.
I could still hear Sanzo cursing inside the bathroom... yeah he was mad that his clothes were missing... Lynto and Kimiko stayed out in the hall with the guys, just in case... I didn't know what they were so worried abo- I stumbled forward after tripping over Amber's foot and then fell ontop of Kimiko's backpack, Sanzo's robes came spilling out of it and then I heard the door creak open..I reached out my arm to stuff the clothes quickly back into the backpack but it was too late... Slowly I turned my head over and looked at Sanzo, standing in the doorway in the new clothes a furious look on his face. Amber whispered a 'uh oh' and I nodded before scrambling to my feet and running toward the door with Amber.
"RUN"!! I shouted at the top of my lungs while bolting out the door, Goku and Amber followed me down the stairs... Lynto ran off with Gojyo down the hall and then they turned the corner. Kimiko quickly took Hakkai's hand and ran off as well... That funny moment was short lived I guess... the trick I thought it would work till the end of the day but I guess not... I could hear gunshots coming from the room, Sanzo trying to shoot us... Amber, Goku, and I made it to the bottom of the stairs. The sound of our bare feet sliding across the wooden floor filled the room and we scattered out in different directions. Hiding in safe places so Sanzo wouldn't find us. Goku and I hid under the table, some people eating gave us strange looked but we had a crazy ass monk after us... Amber went and hid in the kitchen... 'I wonder if the other's got away'...
"Goku..." I whispered..
"Yeah"? He asked, his golden eyes looking at me.
"Sanzo can be a scary ass monk at times...".
I ran down the hall with Gojyo following me, we could hear Sanzo cursing and looking for us... he was going to murder us all! I bit my lip and held onto Gojyo's arm, looking around and trying to find a place to hide... We decided that if the trick failed and Sanzo was really mad that we would hide until his anger was gone and then say sorry. I then saw it... the storage room... obvious place to hide I know but it was the only place we had! I jerked the door open and ran inside with Gojyo, locking the door behind us. I sighed and sat on a box full of clothes and rested my chin on the palm of my hand and started to look around the room. The room was filled with junk and I mean filled, there wasn't much room to move around the room at all.. Old tattered clothing filled boxes... they must have been from the family that used to live here or guests that left their things.. Broken mirrors and picture frames were sitting in one large box... Chipped tea cups and bowls were huddled in the corner stacked ontop of each other. I stayed still when I heard footsteps pass the room and then fade away, I looked at Gojyo silently and played with my fingers a bit... 'Yeah its boring in here and we will be in here for a while... judging how mad Sanzo looked... great' I noticed a shelf behind me and I turned around to look at it... it was covered with dust and their was a small little red vase sitting their, it had a cork ontop of the opening. I blinked and picked it up off the shelf and looked at it, it had some writting on it. I silently started to read it, tracing the letters with my finger. 'Will help in need, all you need to do is bleed' What the heck was that suppose to mean..., Gojyo was looking at a broken picture frame when I looked over at him. I went to pull the cork out but then something sharp pricked my finger. I pulled away my hand and set the small vase down, blood oozed out from the small cut and ran down my index finger. I looked at the cork, it was coated in my blood... I looked closely and saw something sharp sticking out from the cork, a thorn? I heard someone move and I looked back at my finger. Gojyo was right in front of me, bent down a bit so he could see my face. I leaned back a bit and his hand took mine and he looked at my finger, blood was still coming from the circle shaped cut in my index finger. I was about to say something but he grabbed a random shirt from one of the boxes and ripped off a bit of the sleeve. He began to wrap the small piece of cloth around my bleeding cut and then tied it so it would stay on and stop the bleeding, I looked at him and he gave a small smile before giving a small kiss to the wrapped up finger.
"There..." He said, releasing my hand and then standing up straight once again. "What cut your finger"? he asked. I pointed to the small vase and then picked it up again, being careful of the cork and then I handed it to him.
"That cork has a thorn on it.. and I have no freaking idea what it means on the side of it... it says 'Will help in need, all you need to do is bleed'" I said.
He took the vase and turned it around in his hands and reading the words on the side of it, he blinked a bit and looked like he was thinking about something... He looked at the cork and I did too.. the blood... it was now gone...what the heck is going on?!
"This kinda looks like that one jar in the temple a long time ago..." he mumbled to himself...
"Jar"?
He nodded in responce and looked at the vase, "Yeah one time Goku and I were sent to clean the treasury at the temple... and we sorta broke a jar and afterwards we could summon our weapons... Goku could summon his Nyoi-boi and I could summon my Shakujou..." He set the vase down on the box and I looked at it...
"So the vase... bit me and now I can summon a weapon"? I asked, he shrugged a bit... He didn't know... I looked at the jar and saw more writting around the cork... "Hmm there is more writting it says... weapon of yokai, the Shakugetsujou's twin".
Gojyo leaned against the wall and looked at me, "Huh, that's Shakujou's full name... I remember Sanzo saying it once"... I blinked and read it again, Shakugetsujou's twin... so I had a twin weapon to Gojyo's Shakujou? The Shakujou was a iron pole with a cresent blade, it had a built in sickle and chain in it... so that means I had the same weapon now? So I could summon a weapon... 'Damn vase ya still didn't have to cut my finger... I could have just gotten it a better way'...
Ash:Lol Sanzo got mad... Oh and that is actually how Goku and Gojyo got their weapons. It shows it in the manga, its in Saiyuki Reload book number 8 which I just recently got!! -Dances with book- It was good yet sad...
Lyn:CHA! I have a kick ass weapon now!
Kim:-Looks at Lynto-Call it by its name... its Shakugetsujou...
Lyn:-.- No one loves you...
Kim:I'm just kiddin'! But really that's its name...
Ash:-Nods- Yep.. Goku's Nyoi-boi can change shape at the user's will and the Shakugetsujou can freely control a sickle and chain... That's what the cheat sheet said that Sanzo had...
Kim and Lyn:He has a cheat sheet?
Amb:Everyone has a cheat sheet!! See its in every video game!
Ash:lol Amber...
Gojyo and Goku:So that's how the bald monk knew about our weapons...
Sanzo:-Fires bullets at Goku and Gojyo-Shut. up.
Ash:-Smiles sweetly-Thanks for reading everyone and I do not own Saiyuki Reload or its characters, Saiyuki belongs to Kazuya Minekura. Next chapter will be up soon! I promise!!
