Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and the pairings.
Chapter 2: Memories, Part One
"Sanzo, do you really have to send me back there?" Tokusa muttered, having received her leader's newest orders. Apparently, the former Jinchūriki had no love for her home town; for it was the town council's unanimous decision to surrender her over to Hyakugan Maoh in exchange for the village's safety, they were glad to be rid of the 'demon'.
It's going to be one of those days. Tokusa mused, using her 'Sakura Petal Whirlwind' on the army of demons that had ambushed her on her way. "Don't they ever give up?" she muttered, hearing the war cry of the backup group. "Flower Scattering Dance!" she unleashed a cyclone of petals to attack the charging group. "I really don't want to use this." she sighed, the next wave of attackers not loosing up. Summoning her jade flute, she brought the instrument to her lips. "Sound Wave Requiem." she whispered and began playing a deep and dark melody, and the screams began as vicious slashes struck the rest of the demons, cleaving into their bodies. Screams of horror and pain erupted as one by one the daemons where hacked to pieces by an unseen force. "Damn..." she hissed, feeling the purifying power of the Hana no Tama kick in. "Not now... Sakura Petal Escape." she dissolved her body into many sakura petals to confuse the cleanup crew and fled.
"That was too close." she breathed in relief, taking refuge behind demolished wall.
"I bet you're the one that did all of this….you must be strong then." one of the demons of the cleanup squads remarked.
"Let's kill her already!" yelled a demon.
Another licked his lips gazing at her body, "Perhaps we will have some fun with her before killing her..."
The group started chuckling while Tokusa was glaring at them. "Sick bastards!"
"Whoa, she's a wild one. That's nice. I like my women feisty…"
"Come on sweet-heart. Let's give you some pleasure before you die."
"Stay back, all of you!" Tokusa roared in rage."I swear if any of you get any closer, I will kill you all…"
"With your power this drained, I don't think so; you're just bluffing."
Two demons grabbed her, putting her on a nearby tree, she tried fighting kicking and punching randomly. "Let me go right now!"
"Take off all her clothes, we're going to give her a good memory before dying."
They started unbuttoning her battle gi but she protested, "Stop! Let me go!" She punched and kicked and bit one of the demon's hands.
"You fucking bitch!" he punched her, sending her to the ground and causing her to pass out
The demons were now only showing their bare chests, removing their clothes as they clustered around the unconscious former Jinchūriki. None of them noticed the shadow on the tree above.
In just a blink of an eye, the entire squad was dead, obliterated by Hakkai's chi blast.
"It's a good thing Sanzo had me follow her." Hakkai noted, scooping the human turned demoness into his arms, glaring at the dead bodies of the demons. Seeing that they were taking their clothes off, he had a pretty good idea what they were planning to do with the plant wielder. "Hakuryu." he looked at the white dragon on his shoulder.
"Kyu..." the light-colored firedrake cooed and transformed into his jeep form.
Placing Tokusa in the back seat, Hakkai drove off.
Meanwhile, Tokusa was dreaming.
Flashback
"What's this commotion?" one of the Jade Emperor's aides demanded as a fight broke out in the courtyard below, a couple of lower-ranking Gods having insulted Konzen and invoking Goku's wrath. Tenpou and Kenren had stepped in before things got out of control.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Goku demanded as the guards tried to pull him off.
All arguments were cut off when a wave of flower petals descended on the courtyard as the familiar scent of the Hundred Flower Fairy's infamous Flower Wine whiffed in.
Everyone looked up as the Hundred Flower Fairy and her eleven Flower Fairies flew in; a rare sight considering the twelve women were not part of the Heavens military.
The twelve females were dressed in similar short dresses and the only thing distinguishing the Peony Fairy, the Orchid Fairy, the Azalea Fairy, the Osmanthus Fairy, the Narcissus Fairy, the Lotus Fairy, the Plum Fairy, the Peach Fairy, Camellia Fairy, the Chrysanthemum Fairy, the Begonia Fairy and the Mayflower Fairy from each other was the color of their dragonfly-like wings. However, the wings on their leader, the Hundred Flower Fairy,was the most elaborate. Unlike her subordinates, she had rainbow-colored wings, signifying her status as the ruler of the Hundred Flower Glade.
"Hasu-sama." the two guards breathed as the Hundred Flower Fairy landed before the platform, the eleven Flower Fairies behind her.
"Nii-sama." Hasu greeted the ruler of the Heavens.
"You are late, Hasu." the Jade Emperor chided.
"My apologies." the Hundred Flower Fairy curtsied. "The Flower Wine took longer to ferment this time."
"Jade Emperor, we present to you the finest wine of all the Heavens." the twelve Flower Fairies chorused, the Peony and Mayflower Fairies submitting over the flask of Flower Wine.
"Hasu-nee-chan!" Goku pushed himself through the crowd as the twelve fairies prepared to leave.
"Goku..." the Camellia Fairy blinked as the boy threw himself around her leader's waist.
"Brat never changes." the Azalea Fairy snorted.
"Hasu-sama, our deepest apologies for the interference." the guards hurried over. "We'll throw this dirty brat out."
"Wait," Hasu stopped them. "I know this child."
"Hasu-sama?" the guards blinked. "We understand." they bowed and backed off.
"Hasu." Konzen greeted the Flower Fairy. "Goku!" he glared at his charge. "What are you doing?"
"Oh, here comes your owner." the Plum Fairy joked as Konzen pushed his way through, with Tenpou and Kenren in tow.
"Konzen!" Goku beamed.
"You stupid monkey!" Konzen pinched Goku on the cheek. "I told you to stay close to me."
"I said I was sorry!" Goku whined.
"Let's go." Konzen instructed.
"Are you sure?" Tenpou wondered. "We went off and started to commotion on our own."
"Konzen just needed an excuse to skip the event, that's all." Hasu chuckled. "Goku," she looked at the boy. "You know where the Glade is, right?"
"Yes!" Goku nodded vigorously.
"Good." Hasu ruffled his hair before spreading her wings.
As if on cue, the rest of the Flower Fairies, too, unfolded their wings.
"Konzen, we still haven't finished the Shogi game yet." Hasu reminded, preparing to take off.
"Yeah, yeah." the blond waved.
Hasu merely chuckled and exited the courtyard via flight with her eleven fairies in tow.
"She is something else." Kenren whistled.
"Indeed." an intrigued Tenpou agreed.
"Tenpou..." Konzen warned. "You've got that look on your face."
The Field Marshall merely smiled.
