Having dragged the dehydrated Zakuro to the nearby stream was a whole adventure own its own. Especially when said youkai finally realized exactly WHO had found him. "Do ya like it?" Goku asked the Illusionist as the three of them relaxed at the stream's edge. Zakuro grumpily chomped the apple Goku had given him. "Mmm...I didn't realize we were near fruit. I'm disappointed in myself." The other cat youkai snorted and muttered under her breath. "I'm disappointed in you too"  Zakuro threw his younger cousin a irritated glance and was about to throw a remark back when the younger male spoke up. "An' ya missed th' stream. Th' one right here." The stream burbled a happily as if knowing it was being talked about. ". . ."  A snicker broke the silence and once again before Zakuro could berate his little shit of a sister-cousin, Goku spoke up. "So why'd ya fall down th' road an' start dyin'?"  Kohaku laughed out loud at the choice of words, Zakuro threw the apple core at her, missing her by several inches, before he straightened up in his seat. "I did not fall down on the road and start dying." He began as he looked up at the tree branches above them, light filtered between the leafs that moved in the  breeze. "The forest lured me into its tangled,vile clutches." "So you got lost." Two voices in sync spoke up. There was a moment of silence as Goku and Kohaku shared a startled look between them, before they grinned at each other. Zakuro was avoiding eye contact, and thus missed the little exchange the two younger youkai were having, at their blunt statement and sweat-dropped."That's...Another was to say it,yes. You have my thanks you two. I was lucky you found me." Goku tilted his head slightly as he looked back to the male cat youkai.  "Come to think of it...Why are you here anyways?" "I wandered..." Zakuro began but was interrupted. "We know ya got lost, Zakkun-nii. But why are you in this area?"  Kohaku piped up. "Ah, You see Kougaiji-sama asked this esteemed Zakuro to investigate this area for scum killing and eating innocents in his name." The older male proudly announced.  "Oh so there're bad guys here?"  The female youkai asked looking interested.  Her cousin nodded, his face serious. "The worst of guys. I will challenge them to a battle when I find them! and Once they are in my grasp I will kill them!"  His shoulders drooped. "If I could only find them..." "Maybe they heard you were comin'  and fled?" The saru said trying to cheer the older male up.  "That might be it. I am somewhat well known as the Mighty Illusionist Zakuro"  "Zakuro?"  Goku repeated before he suddenly grinned as his stomach grumbled. "Like Salmon Roe! Your name sounds yummy now!"  "Mwhahaha! You're an amusing one, boy!"  "Oh god." Kohaku muttered as she face-palmed in the background. "Why me." "So how come you two are here?" Zakuro asked having apparently not heard his sibling.  "Oh we were jus--"  The golden eye male was interrupted by an unknown voice. "What the hell is this?" A Generic group of random Youkai had appeared. "It looks like a trespasser party."

Saiyuki With a Twist - Interlude { Shenanigans Part I : Salmon Roll? I mean Zakuro! }

Two figures stared at a third figure that laid face down in the middle of a forest, birds chirped in the background as they stared. Goku raised an eyebrow at the familiar mob of green hair before sharing a look with Kohaku, who looked back at him with a similar expression on her face.  'What is he doin' here?' Kohaku silently thought.  'This is weird...' Goku thought to himself before he crouched down near the head of the fainted figure. The noise he made caused an ear to twitch and a shaky head rose in the air. "W-water...Give me...water!"

Human nature sometimes disgusted him. But who was he, a sinner who had left humanity behind to judge? "...I do understand your point." He started to say. "Believe me.." He straightened his back facing the crowds, he felt the others getting ready asides him. "But you're not the only ones with something to protect." The crowds looked taken back the five-some but stood their ground. Gojyo raised his weapon, looking deceptively relaxed. "I hate to break it to you shitheads, but we're not exactly martyrs." Kohaku snorted. "Us as martyrs..." The sage readied his battle staff as he spoke to the crowds. "We're not gonna go easy if ya fight us." He raised Nyoi-bou in to a battle stance. "I don't care if you're youkai or human. It doesn't matter anymore." Villagers raised their weapons in response and started to rush towards them as the  fours youkai and the miko stood back to back , in a circle all ready to fight... When a loud gunshot echoed across the clearing.

All signs of fatigue temporarily seemed to have disappeared as Goku pointed angrily at the 'ass-chinned quack' and shouted. "We know what you're up to, piss licker! You're in cahoots with th' youkai!"  'Piss licker...' Kohaku sweat-dropped in the background. 'Of all the things to call him...'  "I can't begin to fathom what you're attempting to say" Souchin replied, projecting a false serenity with the situation. Hakkai calmly looked at the 'Taoist'. "All right. Why not try capturing us with the spells you know so well?  That should be easy, Master Taoist."  Souchin remained silent at Hakkai's words. The latter continued to speak.  "I've been piecing this together. Aside from the town's wealth, you've caught travelers like is and sacrificed them to the youkai. That would function as a peace pact." Unable to remain silent the youngest male of the Ikkou spoke up. "That's not peceful, ya shithead! You've been killin'people that don't know what's goin' on?!" "I fail to see the problem" Souchin coldly stated.He stood as still as a statue before them, as he spoke to five Ikkou members."Everything I do is for the survival of this town. It's a political decision" Hakkai was silent as Gojyo talked about lying about powers to jerk off in a fancy house. Souchin didn't blink at all at the crude words spilling from the red head's mouth as he merely continued his villain speech. "A town of this size needs a leader to unify it. You've seen the inhabitants. As long as we have peace, they don't mind how it's being kept."

The group gave the Taoist a blank unimpressed look before Hakkai spoke up again. "You don't think much of them, do you?" The false Taoist merely answered smugly. "The masses are apt to be fools" 'This guy's full of shit' Goku thought to himself before he turned around, catching Kohaku's eye and making a sharp movement with his head, implying for her to follow him. She shrugged and started to follow him before Gojyo spoke up asking where'd the two of them we're going. "To look for Sanzo." Goku replied not even bothering to look back. "We're not gettin' anywhere talkin' to this guy." Hakkai turned away from Souchin as he spoke.  "I think you're right" Souchin narrowed his eyes at backs of the group. "I'm afraid I can't just let you leave" Nodding at his guards, he watched as they sprung in to action to apprehend his 'guest's'. Battle instincts still high from earlier Goku spun around calling forth his Nyoi-bou to take out the nearest enemy, aware that unlike Hakkai and Gojyo, the girls didn't have their weapons with them (Not that they were harmless with out them but the girls looked ready to drop unconscious from earlier in the tunnels) .As he started to get in to flow of the fight he didn't notice Gojyo's had stopped in front of him, causing him to run in to the taller man's back. "Hey Gojyo!" He yelled, holding his face with one hand, trying not to look embarrassed by the incident. "What're ya stoppin' f---"  They where surrounded by the villagers. Five separate minds thought the same thing. 'Shit'

Saiyuki Reload with a Twist - Chapter 26: A necessary Evil - Part 3

"Sanzo?!" Goku exclaimed but his caretaker just gave him a look before turning away, trusting Sanzo to meet up later, he grabbed the girls by their upper arms. "C'mon we better get ready ta run on Sanzo's cue!"   Kohaku kicked the monk against the shin. "Better get back in one piece, Fuck face. I'm not dealing with her broken heart" The assassin hissed at the monk, making sure the other two didn't hear. They both knew who she meant with  'her'.  Before she could get any reply from the priest, Goku carefully dragged her off to the side getting the three of them ready to run.  The sound of the gun getting cocked and readied. The gunshot followed with sudden darkness. "Run!" And off they where.

And moved they did. Except they didn't move as fast as they had liked all four members tired and sore from their earlier fights. "Which way is the goddamn exit!" Snarled Kohaku kicking a random youkai corpse out of the way in irritation, Goku shoved another corpse out of the way using Nyoi-bo to move the body.  "I can't smell anything but blood and shit." The heretic said, making a face. "Ugh."  "I wasn't going to mention it but this is seriously disgusting" The female youkai grumbled as she wrinkled her nose. "Any point-the-way-spells you lovebirds know?"  Before she got any answers a large amount of killing intent washed over the four traveling companions as a large group of youkai appeared from the side tunnels. "C'mon! Where do they even come from! I'm to hungry to deal with these dumbasses!"  Goku whined even though he readied himself in to a fighting stance along the other three,

"You okay, Goku?" Kohaku asked as she eyed the demi-god. He didn't seem injured to badly, but he was looking tired. Which was rare.  "M'fine" He replied smiling at her before either could continue their conversation a shriek made them turn their attention to the Holy Duo. Watching Sakura and Sanzo spaz about their dead host's taste in women fashion was well...Hilarious. Goku and Kohaku shared a look, looked at the monk and priestess and looked at each other again and shrugged. Goku didn't get the big deal to be honest. Although he was irritated that the fox bastard had touched the girls in such manner, the outfit itself wasn't bothering him. Not really. (Maybe a little bit) He sneaked a glance at Kohaku, who had her hands on her hips looking amused at the other couple seemingly uncaring being half naked.

Hearing Sakura speak of killing Rao again made Goku sweatdrop as he scratched his cheek nervously and looked away when he felt Kohaku's gaze on him when Sanzo declared they had already taken care of the fox. "This fucking sucks" Kohaku hissed irritated from unable to extract revenge on Rao herself. "Really fucking sucks" "Sorry?" The sage offered sheepishly but was only rewarded with two angry glares from the girls.  Sweat-dropping at the twin looks send his way he cleared his throat. "Ah maybe we should get out of here? I'm hungry..."

Relief flooded his system as the girls came in to view looking tired and dirty but in good health otherwise. "Ah I was right that it was you usin'  lightning" He commented.  Goku wrinkled his nose at the faint smell of ozone that lingered around the priestess as he passed her by to check on Kohaku, who looked a bit worse for wear. He scented the air for blood but there was only the faint smell coming from the minor scratches he caught on the girl's arms and legs.  It was then he noticed the actual state of the girls... ...and promptly froze and stared. Kohaku snorted not having noticed Goku's sudden reaction. "She acted more like an electric eel then a flow--Uh...Goku? Why are you staring like that?" He twitched. Golden slit eyes met violet ones in shared rage before both turned to the black charred spot that once was Rao.  "We killed him to fast" Goku whined angrily.

Making sure not to let the diadem get away from him, Goku tucked the golden limiter inside his tabard before cracking his knuckles at smiling at the surrounding youkai.  He didn't quite get what Rao was talking about but he didn't like the tone and implications of the fox. Grinning like the cat who got the canary, the sage flickered in place before using his speed to start picking off the Kitsune's minions in order for Sanzo  complete his chant.  As the prayer slowly neared it completion, Goku finished off the last of Rao's lackeys , the younger male found him in front of Rao.  Flashing the startled Kitsune a vicious grin, the Great Sage grabbed the man's pole-arm and snapped it in to two pieces as if it were but a matchstick. Enjoying the startled reaction his action got him was almost enough to make Goku forget about what was about to happen next.  As the chanting was reaching it's end, the Earth Child cheekily grinned at the Kitsune before leaping to the side and take out the limiter. "Bye bye~♥"

Putting the diadem on just as Sanzo yelled. "MAKAI TENJOU" Goku smirked and let himself slump against the rock wall as demonic power and energy drained away from his body and back behind the divine powered limiter.

Interlude Hakkai and Kohaku. Sinners

The campsite of the Sanzou-ikkou was silent, or as silent as the soft snores of Goku, Gojyo and Sanzo could make it.  Kohaku sighed softly as she slipped away from her sleeping spot, silently making her way through the small camp.  She spotted Hakkai sitting on the front of Hakuryuu, who was in car form tonight. She made her steps louder as she neared the former human, not wanting to startle him to much and wake up the rest.  "Can't sleep either, eh?." She asked softly causing the male to turn to her. "It seems you share the same fate tonight." The green eyed man replied as he turned his gaze back to the stars above, he felt the woman settle besides him on the hood of the Jeep. "Wish my dreams were as nice as the sky this night." The cat youkai spoke after several minutes of peaceful silence between the two. "I could make some tea if you want? I have some herbs to help with sleeping." Hakkai offered.  "Will you make some for yourself too then?." Was the reply he got, making the man chuckle softly. "I have no desire to sleep just yet." "Neither do I." Kohaku answered. "Don't think I want to deal with my own mind just yet." Bad memories. Hakkai deducted, he could sympathize with that.They all had bad memories that came back to haunt them from time to time. "Ah.I see." A silence fell again between the two youkai. "I can still see the blood on my hands" The woman suddenly said as she stared at her hands."On really bad nights I can even feel it cling to my skin and smell it..." Hakkai swallowed, his eyes wandering to his own hands. He knew what she was talking about all to well. Both had stained their hands in blood.

His in vengeance of his sister and lover. Hers in order to save people from her own family that had fallen to the Minus Wave.  While the reasons where different, the end result was the same. Stained hands and souls. Hakkai wondered if she like him thought about the 'what if's. Of course she did, he bet. And like himself, she had someone that got her to continue living. Had Sanzo not giving him a new name, had Sakura not taken Kohaku away from their village...

The former human couldn't help but chuckle. It was faintly eerie the way the parallels that ran between Kohaku and him.

"Do you regret it?" He asked suddenly looking straight at the woman besides him. 

She returned his gaze calmly and Hakkai knew she hadn't regretted the choice. Her family's lives versus the entire human village.  Those demons for Kannan.  He nodded at her and smiled, she returned the favor and the two sinners returned to gazing at the stars. And if the others found them the next morning leaning against each other fast asleep and being on friendlier terms then before. Well that was their business. After they both took care of Gojyo's lewd comments that is.

[sage-and-assassin]

'Master of the Earth'  How did this guy know? Goku thought. Or was this guy just bluffing? He scowled at Rao as the Kitsune proceeded to sprout tails. Goku didn't like the appearance of the extra appendages at all, he jumped to the side letting the glaives fly past them. Unimpressed by the shitty aim Goku turned to look at Rao only to  hear Sanzo grunt and the sound of his body slam in to the dense rock. Blood scent hit the air just as the heretical being turned his gaze unto the pinned priest. "Sanzo!"

Instinctively moving forward to save his caretaker he found his path blocked when  two swirls of fire  and flame came in to existence before him, blocking the sage off from the monk. "Shit!" Goku cursed, his arms raised to to fend of the heat. Hearing Rao taunt them from the shadows pissed the already angry sage off even further. This piece of trash was going down. Eyeing the two fire spirits for a moment, he snorted before sliding his gaze over to the pinned to the wall priest. Catching the violent violet gaze, Goku gave the monk a sheepish grin before he promptly removed the diadem from his head. Time to get serious.  --- Kohaku froze for a moment as a high amount of Youki flooded the tunnels. "Goku!" Not looking at Sakura at all she dashed to where the source was strongest, knowing the Miko would of felt the sudden strong demonic aura as well.  ---

Fully freed the Seiten Taisei flexed his free clawed hand and shook his head, feeling the long mane of hair move behind him. Sharp canines flashed in the flickering light created by the two fire spirits. Clenching one hand around the diadem as he fell to down on to one knee and punch the floor with his free hand, Seiten Taisei Son Goku looked up to the Fire Spirits and to Sanzo. A rumble followed the punch and as this occurred the two war glaives where swallowed by the earth, taking the two fire spirits attached to them with them in to the crushing darkness. Glancing casually over his shoulders, he locked his gaze to where he knew Rao was and grinned widely.

"The women are mine now..." Tch. Like hell the girls belonged to this sleazy useless piece of shit fox.  Was this guy actually serious? Apparently he was. Huh. Taking out the incoming youkai with impatience and irritation, Goku gave a quick glance to where he sensed Sanzo was. "Sanzo! This is getting really, really irritating." Scowling as he used Nyoi-bo to smash in some random demon's skull in. "Really really irritating" He repeated.

[sage-and-assassin]

He didn't take as much joy from killing these faceless useless youkai, they were hardly a threat but they were in the way of them and the girls. He wasn't paying attention to Sanzo's words or that of the youkai's, just focused on taking down the obstacles in his way. Each one he took down was in his mind one less piece of shit that might of tried to do anything with Kohaku. A subtle change in the atmosphere, one that was unnatural , caught his senses. There was elemental manipulation at hand, he could sense someone twisting the air particles charging them  and unleashing lightning. It had to be Sakura, the miko had used elemental spells before. A small sense of relief surged through him. The girls weren't all that helpless at the moment. And the thought slipped as he got charged by yet another stupid brainless youkai. He was getting hungry,damnit!

[sage-and-assassin]

These fucking bastards had not only taken the girls. But hey had touched them. Touched the girl he considered his.

Clawed hands yanked up the remaining guard up form the ground, forcing him to his knees and making him look up in to the eyes of Seiten Taisei Son Goku. The diadem dully gleamed through the brown locks of hair in the tunnel lights, showing its presence was still there despite the bleed through. "P-please d-don't.." The youkai stammered, tears streaming down his face as he looked in those golden eyes which held the promise of his death. He whimpered loudly as clawed hands cradled his face and in one vicious movement Goku twisted the youkai's neck sideways, almost tearing the head off in order to break the demon's neck. Not the death he had wanted to inflict but they couldn't afford to waste time.  "Tch" Was all Goku said as he dropped the corpse from his hands and turned around just in time to hear Sanzo kill his own prey. He then snorted at hearing Sanzo's saying "Oops" the way he had done it himself earlier.

#Saiyuki with a twist #Part 2 #TheParty #I mean #The KillingDontStartTillSeitenTaiseiJoinsIn

[sage-and-assassin]

Peering at the two youkai that Sanzo pointed out made Goku wrinkle his nose. The damn air in the tunnels were messing up his senses. Or at least his nose.  As Sanzo told him his instructions, the younger male nodded and gave the blond male a two fingered salute before slinking in to the shadows, using his speed and agility to make his was over to his targets.  "Man, This guard duty if boring." The guard (the right one and also the one Goku was slowly sneaking up too) whined, shifting on his feet and switching the pole-arm from one shoulder to another. "Shut yer trap." The other guard snarled. "We'll get to have some fun soon when that priest and those chicks arrive"  The right side Guard snorted. "If Lord Rao leaves anything for us to have fun w--" He didn't get to finish as a swift and precise blow to the back of the head cause the man to fall unconscious to the floor. "What the fuck?!" The Left guard exclaimed but before he could do anything else, the youkai found himself with out weapon as a strong kick from the side made him drop his weapon. In shock from the sudden attack the youkai merely stared at the young adult that landed in front of him.  "Job complete! Get him, Sanzo!" What the fuck was going on?! Was all the youkai could think of before he heard the click of a gun and felt it's cold barrel push in to the back of his skull. Well shit.

#Saiyuki with a twist #chapter26anecessaryevil #Part 2 #MonkeyFetch

[sage-and-assassin]

Goku shrugged getting of the dead body beneath him. He probably should of let the youkai speak more but he got pissed hearing that the girls where just a 'bonus'. As Sanzo talked Goku made his way over to the older man, nodding at his words.  He did not expect that infernal fan to appear and smack him in the head. "Uwaah! That hurt!" The heretical being complained holding his head, giving his caretaker an annoyed look. "Fine, I get it! No killin' anyone till they tell us where th' girls are. I get it" Eyeing the dimly lit tunnels ahead of them, Goku tilted his head hoping he could hear something, as that failed he sniffed the air hoping maybe he could scent the girls. However in their current position all he smelled was the slightly stale air, damp earth and the dead corpses around them. "We better get a move on. I can't hear or smell anything in this place"
