Sayuri and Haine have just met Kogaiji, son of Gyumao. They discovered that he is partially behind the yokai Madness and that his family is planning to bring back the demon to life. However, his attitude, and that of the sanzo ikkou has confused them. The journey has yet to begin


-Gojyo: I wasn't expecting that.

-Haine: don't you think that he ...i mean that...

-Gojyo: yes yes, we get it. get in the jeep!

-Haine : it's still a large difference in size!

-Sayuri: Does it bother you that much?

-Haine: well, gyumao ... he wasn't a little poodle!

-Sayuri: he kind of was a giant, I remember seeing his story in a book, he was huge.

-Hakkai: fortunately for us, gyumao is still asleep and won't wake up as long as Sanzo has his sutra. Right Sanzo?

-Sanzo: ...

-Goku: ah, still, it's too bad, I wanted to do some exercise. but now I'm a little hungry!

-Gojyo: and here we go again! unbelievable!

-Haine: gojyo, don't light the fire.

-Sayuri: but, you know, he's stronger than him.

-Haine: I have no doubts about that.

-Gojyo: hey it's not nice to talk like that!

-Goku: what do you mean with fire? where?

-Haine: it's a figure of speech goku!

-Goku: oh, stop with that, I don't always understand, it's not funny for me.

-Gojyo: it's not our fault that you're a stupid monkey!

-Sanzo: shut up!

-Haine: I can't wait to see the village when we arrive...

-Hakkai: we shouldn't be that far. still, the night will fall within a few hours, there is an inn around here.

-Sayuri: an inn? In the middle of nowhere?

-Goku: hey, you believe there will be yokais?

-Hakkai: we'll have to be careful.

-Gojyo: as always...

-Sayuri: I hope you'll enjoy our cooking skills.

-Goku: why can't we do it now? I'm hungry, I'm gonna die. Sanzo I'm hungry, I'm gonna die, I'm starving, please can we pull over?

-haine: *trying desperatly to make signs to avoid the worst for Goku *

-Sanzo: say just one word and I'll make you swallow your tongue!

-Gojyo: it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a break later.

-Hakkai: I agree with you gojyo, especially since I'm the one who drives, you can't imagine how tiring it is * smiling *

-Sayuri: and we are youngs ladies ... we need an appropriate space!

-Haine: you see? There you have another excuse to stop

-Sanzo: * a very red vein appeared on his face *

-all together: come on, say yeeeeeeeeeeees!

-Sanzo: if we don't make it to the inn tonight, you'll sleep outside!

-Sayuri: can we take that as a yes?

-Hakkai: yes!

* They stop. gojyo and goku stretch out while Hakkai takes some stuff out *

-Hakkai: need help ladies?

-Sayuri: since you ask it so nicely..

-Haine: you'd be cute in pink apron

-Hakkai: what? * silly smile*

-Haine: you are with no doubt the only trustworthy person here

-Gojyo: Hey, I heard you!

-Sayuri: haha a pretty pink apron.

-Haine: at the next village, we buy one!

-Sanzo: you're making my ears bleed...

-Goku: sayuriiiii * grabs her legs * how long does it take?

-Sayuri: Goku no! I'm going to fall O_O

-Haine: ano ... * busy watching the food* we're kind of busy here.

-Hakkai: ah I see that it looks all good! I trust you girls!

-Haine: if it's a success, you'll wear a pink apron next time!

-Hakkai: in other words,I might just buy it as well. Just the smell makes me hungry.

-Gojyo: hmmm yeah it's true!

-Sanzo: can't you smell in silence? we still have half a day to drive!

-Haine: if you aren't happy then you won't get any food! Of all the nerves, women take the power!

-Sayuri: onee-chan, are you turning into your feminist mood?

-Haine: we must not let the men win * proud smile *

-Hakkai: this trip will be even more hectic than I thought

-Goku: I'm hungryyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

-Sayuri: yes yes, it's almost ready! haine, are you done with the rice?

-Haine: ...

* As she watched the fire underneath the pot, Haine thought back to their meeting with the group of yokais *

-Haine: how can you wish to bring back such monster?

-Sayuri * sits next to her sister *: I don't know. It's scary, can you imagine if he comes back?

-Haine: we will fight him one-sama!

* Boys side*

-Sanzo: *smokes his cigarette * what do you think of this?

-Gojyo: you might want to be specific!

-Sanzo: about those two. Do you think they can stand this?

-Hakkai: Sanzo, have some confidence, the're preparing us some delicious dishes.

-Sanzo: yes, but that doesn't mean they are as good as in a battle field.

-Goku: oh well, let's wait to see them in action!

-Sanzo: you seem quite sure of yourself!

-Haine: * heard everything, and puts the boiling hot dish on his head *: hey you monk, if you don't trust us, you shouldn't have accepted us to join you. so stop bitching and trust us. it's not because I refused to fight kogaiji that I'm weak ...

-Gojyo: well said girl!

-Hakkai: and that closes our debate, let's eat!

-Goku: yaay good idea!

-Sayuri: enjoy your meal!

-Goku: woow, this is delicious! It's the first time I eat such delicious meal!

-Gojyo: if goku is happy then we're saved!

* Hakkai takes out a bottle of sake *

-Sayuri: please tell me you've only got one bottle.

-Hakkai: yes yes!

-Haine: ne? why?

-Sayuri: no reason onee-chan! finish your plate!

-Gojyo: you're afraid to get drunk, sayuri?

-Sayuri: NO! I mean, yeah kind of, and also onee-chan, when we're drunk, you never know what we're doing!

-Gojyo: it's true, you could find yourself with me in the morning!

-Sayuri: *vein on her forehead * oh yeah? because you think you'll get there easily?

-Goku: can I have some more haine?

-Haine: of course!

-Sanzo: I must admit it was not bad.

-Hakkai: you said it Sanzo, I'm almost sad to think of dining at the Inn tonight!

-Haine: san ... Sanzo!

-Sanzo: What?

-Haine: you just made a compliment ... I don't know if I should be delighted ... or frightened...

-Sanzo: shut up!

-Sayuri: thank you for the compliment Sanzo.

-Gojyo: girls, with you, we're saved if someday we don't find a place to eat.

-Haine: haha it's not that much, we've been cooking for a long time. and we didn't have a choice afterwards…

-Hakkai: haine ...

-Haine: Come on! Let's make a toast!

-Sayuri: onee-chan, moderate on the bottle please.

-Hakkai: listen to your big sister, haine! you may drink tonight if you want

-Haine: buuuuuuuuuut

-Sayuri: pleeease * begs *

-Goku: can I have more?

-Sanzo: the hell! you have a hole in your stomach or what?

-Goku: but it's so good!

-Gojyo: alright, we're gonna smoke some cigarettes and hit the road again?

-Sayuri: yes, I'd like take a nap, I didn't sleep well last night * begins to clean the dishes *

-Haine: Kampai * takes her drink *

-Sayuri: please let her stay sober until we reach the hostel!

-Hakkai: thank you for this delicious meal, girls! Even Hakuryu enjoyed it!

-Hakuryu: kyuuuuh!

-Haine: you're welcome Hakuryu! You're a cutie * cuddles him*

-Gojyo: aaah? Could it be too late to keep her sober?

-Haine: What? I'm not allowed to give a hug to Hakuryu? * pouts *

-Hakkai: come to think of it, I think it's better if you don't drink tonight * takes her drink off her hand*

-Haine: buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut

-Sanzo: move your ass, we're leaving!

-Haine: can't you be a bit patient?

* Hakkai starts the car and they hit the road. All was quiet, well kind of*

-Gojyo: how many fingers do you see? * shows two *

-Haine: 4!

-gojyo*laughs*: no it's two!

-Haine: no, you're the one who can't count.

-Goku: I thought it was two too

-Hakkai: I think Haine isn't well with alcohol.

-Sayuri * just closed her eyes, and found herself in a dream where she was with Haine and Komyou Sanzo *


-Komyou Sanzo: what do we have here?

-Haine: it's your birthday Komyou Sanzo!

-Sayuri: we baked a cake for you. Mom helped us!

-Mother: I hope you'll like it!

-Komyou Sanzo: such attention goes straight to my heart my children.

*Suddenly, blood trickled down his forehead, Haine yelled, and Sayuri saw Komyou sanzo lying on the floor dead*

-Sayuri: Komyou Sanzo! wake up!

-Haine: NO NO!

* Sayuri watched her hands full of blood and woke up suddenly, eyes wide open *

-Gojyo: sayuri?

-Goku: you're pale, are you okay?

-Sayuri: yes yes ... it's nothing

-Sanzo: ... still have bad memories?

-Sayuri: yes * looks at her hands*...

-Haine: what was on your hands?

-Sayuri: something that shouldn't be there!

Haine: but your hands have nothing now. The're clean!

-Gojyo: sayuri, listen to your little sister.

-Sayuri: I think I'll avoid sleeping.

-Haine: Komyou Sanzo * she whispers to her sister *

-Sayuri * closes her eyes *: it won't stop onee-chan!

-Haine: * pulls out his sword and points it to her sister * I call the spirits that have given me this opportunity to protect those who are dear to me. Wake up, spirit of iron and relieve this tormented soul

* With her words, the blade glows, and Sayuri seemed to have once again calmed down *

-Hakkai: an invocation?

-Haine: no, a sort of illusion. My master in weapons taught me that. Normally, this technique could be used to give sanity to people who have lost it.

-Sanzo: Do you think that hypnotizing your sister is a solution?

-Haine: as we haven't removed the weight of guilt in our hearts, it will continue. it's the only thing I can do for her. * lies on Gojyo * gojyo…

-Gojyo: haine?

-Haine: it's the side effect. The blade feeds itself with the energy of the one who carries it and brings out his mana. and I'm the access. Plus, I drank, so I resisted much less than usual.

-Hakkai: I'm beginning to think that you'll be of great help for the fights. but don't do foolish things, my talents in healing are limited.

-Haine: ... promised.

-Goku * gets up *: there is a smell of blood a few kilometres ahead.

* Everyone looked ahead. after traveling a few kilometers, they saw corpses of yokais spread on the ground *

-Sayuri: my god!

-Haine: who did this? it's horrible!

-Hakkai: *kneals down*: I'm afraid they're all dead.

-Gojyo: that's weird! There are no signs of wounds, how were they killed?

-Sayuri: I feel a strange aura around here. Looks like it's in town.

-Haine: you think it's what killed them?

-Goku: Hey there are strange papers on them!

-Sanzo: papers?

-Sayuri: but what happened?

-Hakkai: the smell is disgusting ...

-Haine: * jumps out of the jeep and runs in the direction of the dark energy*

-Hakkai: Haine!

-Sayuri * runs after her sister *

-Hakkai: sayuri!

-Gojyo: what's wrong with them all of a sudden? Did they eat something weird?

-Goku: no, it was curry!

-Sanzo: Goku shut up! You don't understand a thing!

-Hakkai: I suggest we follow them, I don't want that something happening to them! I'm worried, this will seem terrifying, it's human but not really.

-Goku: what do you mean?

-Hakkai: I can't explain, let's go quickly!

* The night begins to fall, and the sky became a little too dark *

-Haine: it's here somewhere. I can feel it.

-Sayuri: going seperatly is a bit dangerous!

-Haine: I know ... but it scares me, it's a threatening aura.

-Sayuri: let's stay together!

-Haine*stumbles on a yokai's body*: here! We're on the right road * pulls out her sword and starts on a defensive approach * ... onee-sama, be careful!

-?: You release a tremendous power for a human ... I thought you were monsters. Who are you?

-Haine: tell us your name first and we'll tell you ours.

-?: So young and already full of arrogance ... but nevermind, you are not monsters, you are no use for me.

-Sayuri: Did you kill all these yokais?

-?: And if I say yes?

-Haine: bastard...

* Haine attacks him straight ahead with her sword *

-? :* Stops her with his weapon and casts a spell *

-Sayuri: onee-chan, get away from him!

-?: * throws Haine away * you'll regret it!

-Haine: I'm not afraid of you!

-Sayuri: *takes her whip out and stops his attack* you'll regret killing all those innocent yokais!

-?: * starts laughing sadistically * innocent? Well I didn't expect to hear such stupid thing!

-Haine: KHH *attacks with her sword and throws him against a wall *

-?: * Gets up afterwards *: I see ... you're not just human!

-Hakkai: Haine! Sayuri! Is everything alright?

-?: * launches a surprise attack *

-Hakkai: LOOK OUT! * activates his shield *

-Haine: waa!

-Hakkai: are you ok?

-Sayuri: yes, thank you!

-Gojyo: Are you nuts to rush like that?

-Haine: sorry ...

-Goku: Waaah, he looks quite strong!

-Hakkai: don't be too enthusiastic goku...

-Sanzo: tch ... You really make me waste my time

-?: well well, Sanzo?

-Goku: Sanzo, he knows you.

-Gojyo: yeah, one of your friends?

-? : so it's true, Genjo Sanzo has armed himself with monsters who follow him in his quest.

-Hakkai: Who are you?

-?: my name is Rikudou and I'm the savior of humanity, my mission is to destroy all yokais, and I won't hesitate to kill anyone who gets in my way.

-Sayuri: we'll see about that!

-Sanzo: shut up you!

-Haine: what's wrong with you?

-Sanzo: shuuei, I think you're doing it wrong! You weren't like that before.

-Rikudou: No, I wasn't like that, chouket is dead and now I'm eradicating all the monsters. and believe me I'm determined.

-Haine: and I'm determined to stop you. *attacks again*

-Sanzo: Stop moron!

* Rikudou stops her with a gesture of his arm and hits back *

-Sayuri: Haine!

-Haine: this guy is strong ... the frontal attack won't work * tries to get up, but trips, due to lack of energy from her last spell*

-Goku:*launches an attack, but realizes he didn't reach him *

-Rikudou: * prepares an incantation *

-Hakkai: *launches a wave of energy to stop it just in time*

-Gojyo: it's you and me now!

-Rikudou: my talismans are much more effective than your weapons! you'd better accept your defeat! * Stops gojyo and immobilizes him*

-Sayuri: * launches her whip and spears it on his wrist*

-Rikudou: *smiles sadistically and let fire cross the whip to Sayuri causing injuries to her hands *

* Someones shoots *

-Sanzo: I've had enough now!

-Rikudou: you plan to stay there and watch your friends die?

-Sanzo: First of all, they are not my friends. And secondly * reloads his gun * I'm going to take care of you! * Points at him*

-Goku: Sanzo NO!

-Sanzo: get out of my way!

-Haine: Are you stupid or what? frontal attack is just a lost cause!

-Hakkai: Sanzo!

-Rikudou: * takes his weapon in order to attack Goku *

*As fast as he could, Sanzo manages to push goku away but was unable to dodge the attack himself. Something cold pierced him, and blood gushed from a wound that had formed near his stomach *

-Goku: SANZO!

-Hakkai: oh no!

-Gojyo: hakkai, heal him quickly!

-Sayuri: Sanzo, oh my god!

-Haine: onee-sama, look out!


Stay tuned for what's coming next! How will they stop this monster?
