SailorStar9: This is Chapter 11 of this fic. (Sighs) Every time I write these B.S. disclaimers, I die a little inside. Remember, boys and girls, reviews are an author's subsistence.

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and the pairings.

Chapter 11: Advert


"Get them!" the leader of the demon horde ordered and the crowd charged at Sanzo's group when Homura descended from the sky, his power disintegrating the demons.

"Here he is." Zenon grinned.

"I've waited for this day." Homura remarked. "We finally meet again, Konzen. Have you lost all your memories of the Heavens?"

"Konzen?" Hakkai echoed. When Sanzo was stabbed by Rikudo in his attempt to save Goku, Goku's golden coronet was broken and we were powerless to stop his rampaging. That was when the Merciful Goddess appeared. That time, the Merciful Goddess definitely called Sanzo Konzen Douji.

"His right eye's the same as mine." Goku gaped.

"Yes, from ancient times, those with golden eyes are said to be the source of fortune." Homura agreed. "In other words, we're beings of heresy, both you and I, Son Goku."

"You're spouting a whole bunch of nonsense." Gojyo muttered. "But who the heck are you?"

"My name's Homura." Homura replied. "War Prince Homura."

War Prince? Sanzo echoed.

"To think even you have forgotten about me, General Kenren." Homura added.

"Kenren?" Gojyo was confused.

"Are you related to the Merciful Goddess?" Hakkai inquired.

"Well, well." Homura noted. "So, you do remember the Merciful Goddess, Field Marshall Tenpou."

"Homura," Zenon voiced. "Quit babbling already. Hurry up and get to the main issue."

"Yes, why not?" Homura agreed. "Konzen. The Maten Scripture that you have there, you will have it over to me."

"I refuse." Sanzo retorted.

"You'll die for that." Homura warned.

"You just try it." Sanzo challenged.

"I thought you'd say that." Homura noted and attacked with his flame blade.

"He's fast." Gojyo breathed as Sanzo blocked the attack.

"Sanzo!" Goku hurried to Sanzo's aid.

"There's no need to interfere." Shien blocked Goku.

"Same thing goes for you guys." Zenon added.

"What the hell do you intend to do with the Maten Scripture?" Sanzo demanded.

"I'm going to wreck them." Homura replied. "The Heavens, where those incompetent fools reside."

"Not interested." Sanzo snapped and pushed Homura back, before firing his gun.

"You think a gun like that will have any effect on me?" Homura questioned, the bullet grazing past him. "You won't be able to inflict even a scratch on me, a God. Do you want to try again? My heart's right here. What's wrong?" he taunted. "Aren't you going to shoot? Zenon, shoot me!"

Zenon turned and released his curtain fire at Homura.

"Do you see?" Homura questioned, unharmed. "Gods can't be killed."

"Showing us we have no means of defeating you," Tokusa started. "And then demanding we hand over the Scripture peacefully. How very kind of you so-called Gods."

"If you understand, Lady Hasu,, then throw yourself at my feet and hand over the Scripture." Homura instructed.

"Like hell I will!" Sanzo snapped, firing a shot point-blank at Homura.

"Not happening!" Tokusa glared.

"Trusting only your heart, trusting only your eyes, and trusting only your strength," Homura listed. "That's the only thing in you guys I can sympathize with. But how is it with you guys now? Can you really say that you're standing there because of your strength and yours alone? You won't be able to defeat me. Hand over the Scripture."

"Don't make me repeat myself!" Sanzo snapped. "I refuse!"

"Then I won't speak of it anymore." Homura remarked. "I'll come at you in earnest this time. Are you ready?"

"Sanzo!" Goku shouted, jumping over Shien.

"Goku..." Sanzo blinked as the teen blocked off Homura's attack.

"That boy, the way he's moving is completely different from before." Shien gasped.

"Why the hell do you guys want the Scripture?" Goku demanded.

Innocent eyes, pure intentions... Homura mused. But this boy's also a heresy, abhorred as an abomination. Seiten Taisei, Son Goku. "But at your level, you still can't fulfill my wish." he let off.

"What could he mean by that?" Hakkai inquired.

"Who knows?" Zenon shrugged after Homura pulled the retreat order. "You'll find out soon enough."
