Chapter 3- The Game Is Set ( Times Running Out ).

Goku sighed in relief as he was finally realesed from his companions company. Pushing himself from the door he made his way over to the bed. His mind still dizzy from what had happened a few days ago. He didn't really remember much of what had happened, even though Hakkai had explained it to him twice. But what he did know was the person responsible for it.

" Damn him '' he cursed sworely. He knew that the person could hear him and he also knew it loved to torment him ever since that unfortunate day.

Even now he can still see that twisted smirk of the person as he held out his hand towards his youngerself to seal the cursed deal. Gritting his teeth he flopped down onto his stomach and cossied his head into the fluffy pillows. Golden orbs continued to look to the wall beside him as his vision began to blur.

He hadn't slept in a long time and it turned out now that it was finally taking effect. His eyelids wayed down by an invisible weight as it pusshed them to a close. Goku fought for awhile before allowing sleep to claim him.


Hakkai sat idly by as he watch his to other companions fight with each other, again. How unfortunate for him that he was caught in the mists of it. "Now.. now you two, " holding up his hands in defence as two verious mad eyes turned towards him. " You don't want to go through another incident like you did two months ago now would you?" he smiled at the monk and water sprite as they both got this sickening look.

Both Sanzo and Gojyo remembered the 'incident' two months ago. One of there fights had caused serious damage to a hotel and they both ended up having to dress as school girls for a few weeks while they worked to pay it off. Both men shivered at the reminder of the incident and quickly sat back down, going back to what they were pervously doing.

Sighing in relief, Hakkai went back to petting the small white dragon that laid in his lap. Curled up and sleeping calmly now. " Well at least your getting some sleep now, huh.. Hackuryu." the dragon's ears fluttered in content as if he had heard the silent thought. Hakkai smiled a genuin smile as before his emerald eyes grew serious in thought. " I wonder what Goku may be hiding from us.. he's never truely ever kept secrets and is always the first to complain about one of us keeping one. So why is he keeping them now...?" A sudden movement caught his eye as he looked back down at Hackuryu who was now snuggiling into his clothing. He smiled once more as his thoughts advirted to something else for a chang.


Dark..

The walls around him was surounded by an endless void of ebony, but was yet alight by the water like floor he stood upon. The color shown a beautiful blueish green and when he looked down he could see the lovely blue that held a strange white light sorce inside its pool. It looked close enough to touch and he was about to reach in to etempt to touch the strange glow before a voice caught his attention.

" Don't bother trying you'll only end up getting sucked in." the voice sounded from the dark abyiss.

Golden orbs transfixed upon the figure standing not to far away from him. His eyes narrowed into that of slits as he grolwed out the name. " Seiten Taisei..." his teeth gritted against one another as the demonic looking sage smirked at his response.

" Oh.. now Goku..." Seiten Taisei smiled amusenly, looking down at the boy who sat at his feet. " No need to be so harsh.. after all.." he grinned, the light making his razor sharp teeth gleem dangerously in the dark. " I won't hurt you." a sly smirk " yet"

" Mind telling me what I'm doing here you ego sistic demon.." Goku hissed through clenched teeth, eyes narrowing as he looked up at the said person.

" Demon... puh.. don't catorgize me with such filith Goku.. you should know better." Seiten said in a childish voice.

" Bastard.." Goku mumbled turning his gaze away from the smirking sage.

" Well since you seemed to behave, some. I guess I should tell you why your here then." Seiten said in a funny gesture. " Your here because I'm warning you of the time boy... Time's running out and I don't like those that stick their noises where they don't belong. So I'm warning you only once and once only to keep those snivilly things you call friends out of this or.. " a sadistic smirk. " Or do you want me to devour there souls as I did that one friend of yours..?"

Golden eyes widen in fright at the sage's reminder. He didn't want his friends to feel the eminess pain that his friend went throuh we he stuck his noise into Seiten Taisei's buiseness. God no! He didn't want that. " N-no.. sir I don't." he said in a quivered voice, irking Seiten Taisei interested as sharp teeth gleamed in the glowing light underneath.

" Good boy..." he patted the chocolatte locks in a kind gester. More like an amused gester, as he once again took his seat upon a thrown that appeared out of no-where.

" Remember Goku.." he grinned. " Times running out.. and the game has now begon. Watch your step child for it maybe your last."

The light switched off as Goku's eyes awoke to find himself once again in his room. Running a hand through his hair as he sighed a sign off relief to be back in the world and not in his soul where he knew that that monster resided. Things weren't looking good from his point of view and soon he would be proven just how right he was.
