The creature's glimmering claws came down painstakingly slow. Aya moved the wooden leg of the chair, reading to par with the blow.
A single gunshot boomed, followed by the shriek of Aya's attacker. The red haired assassin watched as its body vanished, turning into pale dust right before his very eyes and blown away by the wind. Across a few steps away from him, another man stood. A silver revolver shone in his grip, the end still smoking from that freshly fired shot. His hair was tousled strands of gold and his eyes were deep violet. Although he remained calm, albeit a little surprised, there was still a certain sharpness and strength to his glare toward the creature that had just died by his hand, The garments he wore were strange; it looked like some priest's garb. That was confirmed by the scroll-like things draped over his shoulders.
Why did he carry a gun?
"Who are you?" Aya asked.
"Who wants to know?" Sanzo spat out. It was not hostile, but it definitely wasn't all too friendly either. His gun remained aimed. Aya glanced to both his sides and silently cursed. All their weapons were hidden in the conference room below. One couldn't exactly have a katana lying around the seemingly harmless flower shop.
"He's armed! He's one of them!" Ken's voice boomed as he finally managed to get up.
"No he isn't." Youji said. "He shot one of those things. If he were one of them, he would've shot Aya, too."
Aya kept his gaze at Sanzo, only to look away when he heard another terrifying shriek. The armed priest turned behind him, too. Seeing about ten demons dashing toward where they stood.
"It's Genjo Sanzo! He's here!"
"Let's kill him!"
Omi still held Manx close, he frowned. "Genjo Sanzo…" he trailed off.
Sanzo aimed his gun, but before he could fire Omi spoke.
"Everyone to the conference room! We can corner them from there!"
Sanzo scoffed. "You've got to be kidding me. I don't need your help to –"
There was an explosion just a few steps away from where Sanzo stood. The priest was thrown back and landed hard on the ground, the side of his head hitting the hard floor. Omi gasped, the impact was enough to render him out cold.
"Come on, Omi. Let's go!" Youji called, right behind Aya. He was carrying Manx but he stopped to turn to the boy calling for his attention.
"We can't just leave him here! Ken-kun, help me out!"
"Gotcha!" the brunet assassin helped Sanzo, supporting him at his left side while Omi supported him at his right.
"Come on, we gotta move fast before the dust clears!" Youji finally followed Aya down to the conference room, Omi and Ken with the injured priest not closely behind.
"Sanzo! Sanzo!"
Goku was frantic; and it showed in the way he knocked down an entire row of demons with his nyoi bo in search of his owner.
"Where the fuck did he go?" Gojyo asked, knocking down another demon.
"Everyone, watch out!" Hakkai suddenly slid in front of Goku and Gojyo, a bright light forming around his hands before it spread as a protective circle; a light barrier. Just in time, another bright red flaring blast sped to where they stood.
"Sanzo!" Goku called out in vain.
"This barrier better be strong enough to fight that, Hakkai!" Gojyo said, preparing his shakuju in stance.
"The thing is, I'm not so sure it is, Gojyo." Hakkai's eyes narrowed, keeping his gaze ahead. This time, he wasn't smiling. "This power. I know what Sanzo was thinking now. This power."
The light was now close.
"…different. Never have I ever –"
The red flare collided with Hakkai's light barrier. An explosion engulfed the entire fighting plain, a few demons who had not fled quickly enough were unfortunate, their cries drowned by the sounds of destruction all around.
And as the light faded; there was silence. Only a lone creature stood far away with what remained of his demon men. A smirk crept up on his lips while his deep green eyes shone in sheer amusement and malice.
"I should change my tactic. Looks like this group's onto me." He said in a smooth tone before he let out a cackle. He turned to walk off, leading his men. "We're finished for today." He said.
There was nothing else for them.
Unfortunately, knocking Sanzo unconscious was the only way I could get him to cooperate the first time around with the Weiss boys ICly. XD lol.
If you have the time, don't forget to give a comment. ^^ Thank you very much.
