~Chapter 6; Awakening~
"What?" Goku asked staring his twin sister in the eyes.
Gota stayed silent, staring back. Goku opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by the pup's barking.
"Hey! Calm down, little one. What's wrong?" Gota lifted him up, trying to settle him down. "Oh! You know what?"
"What is it?" Goku asked.
"I didn' give you a name yet, did I?" she asked the pup.
He settled down and whined a bit. Gota set him down between Goku and her.
"Now what should we name you?" Gota started to deeply think, her brother joining her.
"Hmm…How about Koga?"
"…Or Kiba?"
The twins looked at the adorable animal, who cocked its head to the side in confusion.
"How about it, Koga?" Goku asked.
The pup turned its attention to its owner.
"Guess that's a no..." Goku muttered.
"How about Kiba?"
The pup gave a small whine, cocking its head to the side again.
"That seems like a maybe." Gota stated.
"How do you know?" Goku asked.
"I don't know; it's like I could understand him…"
"How? You just got him!"
"It's hard to explain…"
The pup barked trying to snap them out of arguing.
"How about Taro?" Goku asked.
The twins simultaneously looked at each other.
"Akiba! What do you think?" they simultaneously asked.
With that, the pup gave a happy bark, wagging its tail.
"That was a yes." Gota said.
"Even I understood that." Goku agreed.
Gota picked up her pup.
"From now and onward, your name is Akiba." she smiled.
He barked in agreement. Just then, a man's scream was heard. The twins looked at each other in surprise and then ran to the door.
"Akiba, stay here, ok boy!" Gota called.
He barked twice and with that, Gota closed the door and continued running towards the waiting room with Goku. Akiba quietly whined to himself, due to the fact of suddenly being left alone. The twins got as far as the door frame, until Goku sensed something.
"Watch out!" Goku pulled Gota away from the frame, as a large yellow ball of energy shot through.
Once it passed by, the twins ran into the waiting room.
"Hakkai!" Goku called as they saw him kill two youkai (demons) at once. "You almost killed Gota back there!"
"Ah, Gomen Gota-chan." he apologized then killed another.
"Hakkai-sama, what's goin' on?" Gota asked.
"There's a youkai attack, that's what happened!" Gojyo answered, killing four at once with his weapon.
Suddenly, two youkai attacked the twins coming from both sides. Startled, Gota rapidly kneeled down, which gave Goku the opportunity to jump up and kick both simultaneously. Then he offered a hand to his sister.
"C'mon Gota-chan, we have ta fight." he said firmly, helping her to her feet.
"But Nii-chan, I was imprisoned for so long. I forgot how to summon my Nanbyou!" Gota answered.
Goku jumped up and killed a youkai that tried to attack Gota from behind.
"Well, you're goin' ta have ta remember very soon!"
The Sanzo Party were all fighting, trying to defend the inn and the residents still inside. But they were also being very slowly pushed out of the inn, where more youkai were waiting. After about an hour, the party were pushed back enough they were now outside. More youkai swarmed around, completely surrounding them. Gota stayed inside, seeing as she didn't have a weapon to fight with. After about another hour, the group was getting tired.
"Shit!" Gojyo exclaimed continuing to kill youkai. "They keep coming!"
"There are too many of 'em!" Goku cried.
Somehow one of them managed to punch Goku's face, but that only resulted in the youkai's death.
"This is bad, they're getting restless." Gota whispered to herself. "Ok!"
She put both her hands out in front of her and focused and concentrated. After that, she closed her eyes and tried even harder. Finally, she stopped and let her arms fall limply to her sides.
"It's not use…" she sighed.
She returned to watching the group outside. "Nii-chan…hang in there everyone…"
Meanwhile outside, the group was struggling.
"Guys, if we don't do something soon-" Goku was jumped on by a group of youkai at once and was getting pumbled.
"Nii-chan!" Gota gasped.
"Goku!" Hakkai threw a chi-ball and killed youkai around Goku.
Unfortunately, as soon as he let it go, Hakkai was overcome as well.
"No, Hakkai-sama!" Gota shouted anger swelling up inside her.
She stepped out from hiding and ran towards the army of youkai. Just as one stretched out an arm to claw her, her anger forced out her weapon, one that was looked identical to her brother's. With that weapon, she killed over a dozen youkai and counting. This act helped the group, who continued to fight. After about another hour, the youkai army finally started to let up. Gota paused for a second, her forehead with some droplets of sweat and was a bit out of breath. This was harder than she figured it'd be. Two more youkai snuck up on her and held her back. The one behind her held her hair and arms, as the one in front of her was about to attack. She killed them both, but just one problem: as the one behind her died, he slipped down pulling her hair…along with her power limiter. Once it slipped off, her eyes went wide and she screamed bloody murder. The group greatly panicked and all youkai paused. An enormous wave of power overindulged her. She felt an enormous burning sensation, like as if she was getting burned alive. Her nails grew longer and her eyes grew wild. She fell to her knees holding her head. By now, the youkai became fearful of her, sensing how powerful she suddenly became. When she finally became silent, her hair hid her eyes from view and she stayed very still. A youkai around her took a step forward and with that she became cautious. Confusing that with fear, a group of them lunged at her all at once. She was brought down and it looked like they killed her, until they suddenly screamed and fell. Slowly she stood back up. The group stared in surprise as the remaining youkai watched in horror. Feeling like she must be stopped, another group attacked her at once. That only came out with the same result and again she stood still. By this time, only five youkai remained. They bared their teeth, growled and snarled at her. Stubbornness took over and they attacked. Fools. She killed them, but hardly moved in the process. Then she smiled; a wicked smile, which then turned into a wicked smirk and her eyes turned crazed. She laughed hysterically, continuously clawing at the corpse she stood over. The group watched in horror and remembered that incident with Goku. When he transformed into Seiten Taisei, he acted the very same way.
