Part Fourteen: Convergence
Thea stood on the packed dirt in her bare feet. The robe dragged in the ground around her. She glared at Mikia, “I’m so sick of this shit! I want to go home! I want to see Jorja! I want to see Gojyo!”
Mikia sneered at her, “Your wants don’t matter. Now fight!” Mikia summoned a large ice fiend.
Thea screamed as she jumped into a defensive stance. The fiend charged her and she stepped to dodge. Its tail curled around and swiped Thea across her back. Thea screamed as she absorbed the hit. She regained her posture and zeroed in on her target. She watched as the fiend disintegrated in front of her.
Four figures that she didn’t recognize came into view.
“Fiends are not to be toyed with, Mikia!”, Kougaiji yelled.
“What the hell are you doing here? This is none of your concern.” Mikia snapped back at him.
Dokugakuji saw the small child being swallowed by robes. He ran up to Thea. “Are you ok?”
Thea looked up at him and smiled. Her mismatched eyes twinkled. “Yeah.” She nodded, “I coulda kicked its ass, ya know.”
Thea turned to look at Mikia. “Are we done NOW!?”
Dokugakuji saw the bloody slash on Thea’s back and touched her shoulder.
Thea jerked from under his hand and jerked her head toward him, “I don’t need your help.”
“You’re hurt.” He knitted his brow.
“I’m fine.” Thea spoke through her teeth. Feeling the pain in her back was better than feeling the emptiness that had developed inside her.
Kougaiji stepped over to Thea and grabbed her wrist, “You are coming with me.”
Thea jerked her wrist, but Kougaiji held fast. “Unhand ME!” She yelled at him. No one touches her and gets away with it.
Homura dropped from his perch in a tree, “Let her go. This isn’t your affair. This has nothing to do with you.” Homura grabbed Thea’s other wrist.
The two men began pulling on her.
“Now, I’m REALLY pissed!” Thea growled and bit Homura’s hand.
“Let her go!” Jorja yelled as they blurred into sight. She glared at Mikia.
“Gods! Does everyone want me? What can’t you just leave me alone!” Thea screamed into the air. The cage was uncomfortable, but at least people left her alone there.
Jorja looked over at Mikia, “How long have to planned to put this knife in my back, lover?” The sarcasm was thick in her voice.
Mikia sneered at her, “Since we met, of course it was you I was expected to deliver. Have you met my Lord Homura?” Mikia motioned toward Homura.
Jorja felt her batlet vibrate and resisted the urge to end Mikia’s life in front of Thea.
Homura twisted Thea’s arm as retribution for the bite.
Goku conjured his Nyoi-bo and swung for Homura’s arm. Homura had to release Thea’s wrist to dodge the attack.
Kougaiji jerked Thea away from Homura and shoved her toward Jorja.
Hakkai yelled, “Thea! Run to your mother!”
Faces dropped as all eyes turned toward Hakkai. All except for Thea who stared at Jorja.
Homura laughed. “Isn’t that priceless, she didn’t know.”
Hakkai scanned faces looking at him and shifted his gaze to a very confused and much bigger and older than he remembered, Thea. He now knew the information no one had told him. Thea ,indeed, did not know Jorja was her mother. “Someone could have told me.” He spoke with resignation.
Thea mustered a small, ”Mother?”
Jorja spread her arms open and nodded.
Dokugakuji sidled up to Gojyo, “Where’s my warm greeting?”
Gojyo cut his eyes to Dokugakuji and then back to Homura, “Where’s my brother?”
Dokugakuji knew that the day by the river had changed their relationship. He felt as if he deserved the distance.
Gojyo saw Thea start to run toward Jorja and Homura began to move toward Thea. Gojyo dove in the air reaching for Thea. By the time he hit the ground, all of them would be incased in darkness.
Homura had cast them all into a sphere of darkness.
Jorja managed to wrap her arms around Thea’s small body as the tendrils of darkness pushed her into an invisible black wall.
All of the members of the rescue teams were pinned against a wall , tendrils of blackness wrapped around their extremities. They seemed to hover within a sphere of darkness, unable to move.
Homura hovered freely in the center. He floated toward Jorja, “Give me the child.”
Jorja glared at him, “Never.”
He curled his lip, “Give me my niece, sister.”
“Kiss my ass, Homura.”
Thea sighed, “Gods! Any other freaking secrets being kept from me?”
Homura looked at Thea, “Come with me Thea, I can take care of you and get you to your full potential.”
Thea glared at him, “I’ve seen how you take care of me, and frankly --- Uncle --- I don’t like it.” Thea tilted her head up at Jorja and Jorja looked down at her.
Jorja’s mouth opened when she saw the charka on Thea’s forehead. “Oh my god Homura! You didn’t!”
Homura laughed, “Yes, I did.”
“Do you have any idea what you have done? You‘re insane, you‘ve gone mad.”
Homura laughed. Yes I have, and yes…I know what I have done. I have created my own blessed executioner…when the time is right. “If you don’t give me my …investment…then I will make you hand her over to me.”
Homura pointed at finger at Dokugakuji and the demon screamed out in pain.
Gojyo eyes widened, “Jein!!!!”
Dokugakuji’s voice left him and he went limp.
Gojyo could tell he was still breathing. “You son of a bitch, you will pay for that.”
Jorja glared at Homura, “You wanted me before. Take me and let them go.”
Homura glared at her. “Not good enough…anymore. Your obstinance has required this.”
Hakkai’s eyes darted between Thea, Kougaiji and Sanzo. Now, that he had confirmation of Thea’s rapid aging, he was back to his original quandary. It has to be Kougaiji…Sanzo’s not that powerful.
Homura cut his eyes to Scarlet and Gojyo. He waved his hand and they began to float toward each other. “I’ll take them all out if I have to, sister.”
Jorja sneered. “You don’t know what you are doing.”
Gojyo tried to turn his face as Scarlet’s came toward him; however, something very strong was preventing him from moving.
Hakkai yelled out, “You’ll kill them!”
Homura snickered, “Exactly…you are bright.”
Gojyo’s lips pressed into Scarlet’s and nothing happened. It simply felt like an awkward kiss. Gojyo relaxed his lips and began to kiss his forbidden fruit in earnest.
“Bah!” With a wave of Homura’s hand the two star-crossed lovers were separated.
Jorja laughed, “Scarlet has changed.”
Homura zeroed in on Jorja. “Give me the child.” He growled.
“Take me. Together we can rule the world. We can have something more powerful. With me, you can have another, stronger Thea.” The thought of birthing her brother’s child made her stomach curdle and the bile rise in her throat, but if the rouse would get them out of this she’d kill him later -- or die trying.
Homura leaned back and looked at Sanzo. “At one time that offer might have intrigued me. But now…” He whipped a hand toward Jorja, “Give me the seed of Gen---”
Jorja yelled for all she was worth. Her scream drowned out his words.
Homura smiled. “Oh this gets better and better. They don’t know.” He laughed as he floated toward Sanzo. “Tell me Konzen Dougji , how does it feel to look into the face of your child?”
Sanzo’s face was turned toward the seven year old and he felt pressure in his chest. He was sure Goku had just kicked him, for that had to be the only explanation for what he was feeling.
Gojyo felt the blood leave his face. They did have good reason.
Hakkai knew it was a possibility, but this made no sensehim.him. Sanzo was human, he wasn’t this powerful and there was that name again. Who is Konzen?
Jorja sighed, “She’s not Konzen’s child. She’s Genjyo Sanzo’s child.”
Homura tilted his head up and sighed, “Jorja, they are one and the same.” The convergence of the War Prince line and the Merciful Goddess line --- how simply perfect.
Sanzo looked at his own violet eye staring back at him. He felt a surge of strength come from somewhere deep inside him and he pressed his hands together. This is what the Maten Scripture was created for, to shatter darkness. He softly chanted, “Maten Scripture hear my call. With the powers of light contained within your sacred words…”
Kougaiji’s eyes grew wide, Oh, fuck! He’s chanting. For some reason Kougaiji had difficulty seeing Sanzo as a real bone fide priest.
Homura heard the soft low voice and turned toward Sanzo.
Sanzo, lost in his chant, was oblivious to the pending threat. “…to shatter the darkness and break our binds! BINDS INTO OBLIVION!!!”
The scripture sprang from his shoulders and pierced the dark sphere. Light poured in through he cracks and fissures. The dark shackles shattered and quickly they were all lying on the ground. Sanzo looked up and saw Homura walking away.
Thea got to her feet and yelled after him ,”You do that again and I’ll RIP YOUR SKIN OFF!” Her face turned red as she yelled.
With a wave of his hand Homura and Mikia was gone.
Thea pressed her hand into her forehead spoke through her teeth, “I swear, I’ll kill both of them.”
Gojyo chuckled and looked at Sanzo. “No doubt about it, she’s all you, man.”
Violet pierced Crimson. Crimson laughed at Violet. Gojyo wasn’t done pressing his luck and pissing off the priest.
“So, uh Sanzo…I know this is a little weird but in a few years. Is it ok if I date your daughter?” Gojyo couldn’t contain his laughter. He didn’t see the gun being drawn.
He heard the gun cock and stood very still. “Aww come on, you won’t do it.”
Sanzo sneered as he pulled the trigger.
Gojyo felt a quick pull and saw a lock of hair flutter to the ground. “My HAIR! You shot my hair!”
Thea growled, “Damn it! Can’t you two get along!”
Jorja tilted her head up and wondered if this is how the Merciful Goddess saw it working out when she was issued the divine order. She noted the dark turn Thea had taken and prayed that that the day would never come where she or Sanzo would have to kill Thea.
Gojyo shook off the brush with death as he turned toward Scarlet. “I don’t understand, why weren’t we hurt?”
Scarlet tilted her headdress up and revealed her new charka, “We’ve got better protection than oil now.”
Gojyo’s mouth spread out to a mischievous grin, “You mean we can….”
Scarlet winked at him, “Yep…like bunnies.”
Gojyo draped an arm across her shoulders and they began walking away. “Ok we’ll need to get a few things. First, smelling salts, and …..”
To most everyone their voices faded away, but Goku watched as they walked.
Goku’s mouth dropped open. “Gojyo you perv! That’s not what strawberries are for!”
Gojyo flipped off Goku with out looking back. No one would see either of them for about a week.
Jorja thanked Kougaiji for his assistance. Dokugakuji watched his brother leave and figured he could mend things later. For that’s what older brothers do, they fix hurts.
Kougaiji’s team wasn’t given the opportunity to have the battle that was meant to allow Thea and Jorja to escape. Kougaiji had a bitter taste in his mouth, when he realized that Sanzo had yet again rescued him.
Goku watched them walk away, “Aren’t you going to say your line?” Goku laughed.
Without even looking over his shoulder, Kougaiji raised a hand and offered Goku the one fingered salute.
Sanzo walked over to Thea and put a hand on her head. He titled her face up and dove into the eyes of the daughter he did not know, and knew his mission would prevent him from knowing her. He cut his eyes over to Goku. He lifted his gaze and looked at the brilliant blue sky. “Thea, Goku follow me.” He walked into a clearing.
He sat down on a tree stump and looked at their faces. “I have but one skill worth passing to others.” He reached into his robes and pulled out three sheets of orange paper.
Kouryuu whispered, “You didn’t fail me, Sanzo. I knew you wouldn’t.”
