Forgotten Buddha
Chapter One:
On Your Shoulders Now
Tal and Thorn
Instant Infamy<

“Don’t look
so sour, Hakkai. It’s your fault you’re
here, after all. Your little romp in
the woods made you sloppy. And now
though I doubt you’re comfortable with my proposition, I’m sure you see you
aren’t in a position to refuse.” The
dark figure stepped into Cho Hakkai’s line of sight. There was no mistaking who
or what he was and even less of a reason to doubt the validity of the man’s
claims.
Only a
Sanzo priest could possess and use the powerful Daitzuian scripture and as Hakkai
was frozen to the spot in spite of the fact he’d removed a limiter to fight
back, he couldn’t argue with the man’s ability either.
What he’d just been told was not to be
believed. Yes, he’d heard of the
existence of a scripture that could drive humans to act as vicious as demons if
they had enough hatred in their heart.
But to say there was evidence that young Kouryuu had killed his beloved
Master under the influence of that scripture, and beyond that, Sanzo could now
be held responsible if the truth came out, was not to be believed. With the information this man possessed, the
monk could be tried and as Buddhists don’t kill per say, the penalty would be a
severe lifetime sentence. He would be
locked in an inner sanctum of a remote temple to repent. Imprisoned.
Alone. Unless Hakkai agreed to
this man’s terms.
Stall for time, Cho Hakkai. He thought, watching the man. “It isn’t an easy choice, you realize.” Sanzo is bound to notice how long I’ve
been gone. He’ll come for me. Eventually. I hope. “And, I’m not
entirely clear on what you want from me.”
Maybe, though, I’m making this
harder than it has to be. If Sanzo were
imprisoned, then this journey would be over and I could return to the life I
was starting to enjoy. Return to a
place where the wounds of my heart can heal.
Hakkai blinked in surprise. How could he even consider betraying
Sanzo? The limiter cuff. It had to be the evil that was affecting all
youkai. Without the protection of the
limiter, he was vulnerable.
“It’s two in the morning and unless
you make it a habit of sleeping in the same bed together I doubt he’ll miss you
until his pet monkey wakes up begging to be fed.” The man seemed to read his thoughts. “Surprised? Trust me,
Hakkai I’ve done my homework. The terms
are simple I’ve gotten in some trouble and I need you four to get me out of it. And well, if you die in the process, I’ll be
the last Sanzo priest inheriting all five scriptures. I could rule heaven and earth.
Unfortunately if they lock Genjo Sanzo away, I’ll have to go through the
process of getting rid of his successor.
Besides it’s easier and more fun this way.” He ran a gaunt hand through Hakkai’s hair. “Oh, don’t pout. You have a fighting chance…you just have to do everything I
say. Starting with bringing me Gojyo’s
scythe, Nyouibou, and Sanzo’s banishing gun and Maten scripture. Then simply convince them it’s your ass on
the line…they are loyal to a fault, I know that, and get them to finish the
tasks I communicate to you. Simple,
really.”
“Hmm.yes"> Hakkai asked, rounding the corner, soft smile in place. He tossed the cigarettes in Sanzo’s
direction, not stopping on his way to the door of the inn.
“You’re just lucky that damned smile’s
accompanied by these,” Sanzo said, holding up the cigarettes. “Or, I’d ice you on principal. No one should be as chipper as you at seven
am.” He promptly ignored his own
half-smile.
“And no self-respecting monk says
chipper, no matter wtimetime of day it is.”
Hakkai responded as he ducked inside.
He paused and stuck his head out.
“I was kept up most of the night, so I’m going to try to catch a quick
nap before you start herding us westward.”
“This isn’t a field trip, Hakkai, if
you can fit pleasure in with our schedule, that’s fine. But we’re still leaving by nine, so make
your nap count.” Sanzo said in
annoyance. Did everyone go and spend
the night with Buddha knew who except him?
Well, not Goku anyway, his snoring was always present. But Hakkai and Gojyo…
Hakkai headed upstairs, knowing he’d
pissed Sanzo off. And knowing the monk,
he wouldn’t let Hakkai forget it all day.
Good. That would provide
him the cover he’d need to be missing tonight.
And hopefully, keep Sanzo from noticing the slight change in direction
they’d be taking today.
