Chapter 3
Aside from being attacked by a few weak demons, which Howaito slept soundly through, the group had managed to make it to the next town before nightfall, where they found an inn and got two rooms for the night.
Being unable to wake Howaito, Gojyo ended up carrying him into one of the rooms and setting him carefully onto the bed, where Hakkai set to work on re-patching up his wounds while Sanzo went into the other room for some alone time before dinner.
“His wounds appear to be healing swiftly and none are too serious.” Hakkai said as he finished bandaging Howaito up. “He should be fine by morning. He must have been exhausted since he managed to sleep through the entire day.” He stood and went to the door. “I’m going to go out to the market to restock some of our supplies, Goku why don’t you come with me.”
“Sure” Goku said, thus leaving Gojyo alone in the room with a sleeping Howaito. With a sigh he pulled a chair near the bed putting his feet up on the edge of the bed he leaned back in the chair.
“Thank you.” Howaito said while turning his head to look at Gojyo, who nearly fell backwards out of the chair in surprise.
“Oh you’re awake.” Gojyo said, sitting up in the chair.
“Actually I’ve been awake for awhile. I just don’t get many opportunities to just sit back and relax. So thanks.” Howaito said as he sat up in the bed and stretched his arms above his head.
“Well it’s nice to see you’re doing ok. You were pretty badly beaten up.”
“This is nothing.” Howaito said with a smile. “I’ve had paper cuts that were worse than this. I remember one time a hunter beast nearly ripped my leg clear off.”
“Shit. So even though it looked bad you would have been perfectly fine without our help?”
“True, but Horyuu wanted to spend more time with Hakuryu and she would have thrown a fit if I said no. Not that I would have. Horyuu can do as she pleases, I haven’t the heart to force her to do otherwise. Besides I’m not her master. She could leave me whenever she wants.”
Howaito stared off to the side of the room almost sadly for a moment before looking back up at Gojyo with a smile before standing from the bed. “Well I really must be going. I’ve lost too much time already.”
“You can’t leave yet.” Gojyo said standing up as well. “It’s getting dark out, and besides your wounds could slow you down.”
With a smile Howaito lifted his shirt and pulled the bandages off revealing unflawed skin beneath. “I told you these wounds are nothing. It only takes but a thought to make them go away. Even my hair” He reached up and pulled a lock of his hair which lengthened as he pulled till it was once again waste length “is easily fixed.”
Gojyo could only watch in shocked disbelief as Howaito gathered his things. Howaito stopped in the doorway looking over his shoulder at Gojyo. “Goodbye Sha Gojyo, give your friends my thanks.”
“Goodbye Howaito, and good luck on your journey.” Gojyo said as Howaito turned and left. Both of them oblivious to the fierce red eyes that had been watching them from the window.
After Howaito left, Gojyo sat back down in the chair to ponder the mystery that was the white haired man. What the hell is he! I don’t think even a demon could just think a wound like that away, and what he did with his hair was amazing. With an exasperated sigh he got up and moved to the bed. “I should just stop thinking about him. He’s gone and that’s that.”
“We’re back.” Goku called at as he opened the door and came into the room an hour later. “Hey where’s Howaito.”
“He left.” Gojyo said sitting up. “Wait didn’t he find you guys to get Horyuu back.”
“No. We still have her.” Goku said putting some bags down on the table. “Why would he leave without her?”
“Goku go tell Sanzo that dinner is on its way up.” Hakkai said as he walked through the door, Hakuryu perched on his shoulder while Horyuu flew over to the table.
“Sure”
“So Howaito left already.” Hakkai said to Gojyo after Goku had left the room. “I hope he’ll be fine, it’s already dark out and those wounds could slow him down.”
“Heh. Don’t worry about that. Apparently he can heal himself with just a thought, when he left his wounds were all gone, hell even his hair was back to full length.”
“He should have at least stayed the night. He’ll be vulnerable in the dark, and his going will be slow without Horyuu to carry him.” Hakkai said as he looked out the window.
“I’m sure he’ll be fine.” Gojyo said as he opened a beer, “It’s not like he’s some damsel in distress.”
“You’re right. I guess I’ve just gotten use to running into people on our journey who need our protection. It’s not every day we find someone capable of fending for themselves.”
“We’ve been saving people from demons though. That guy has something else entirely chasing him. Last thing we need is to get caught up in his problems.”
“You’re right. I’m going to go down stairs and help bring our food up.”
Gojyo looked over at Horyuu who was staring out the window. “You worried about Howaito.” Gojyo asked as he reached out to scratch the top of her head. Horyuu cooed as she craned her head into his hand.
Suddenly the glass from the window exploded in on him and Gojyo soon found himself pinned to the floor looking up at what appeared to be one of the creatures that had been hunting Howaito. It’s sharp talons dug into his shoulders and upper legs as it open its mouth revealing fangs that were too long to possibly have fit in its mouth.
“Holy shit.” Gojyo said as he struggled to get out from beneath the creature. Horyuu few over screeching and started to beat at the creature with her wings only to be knocked into a wall by its tail.
“Fuck!” Gojyo cried out as the long fangs slid into his shoulder. Seconds later the door was flung open and he heard Goku shout out his name followed shortly by the sound of Sanzo’s gun going off.
With a screech the creature ripped itself away from Gojyo, long fangs ripped out of his shoulder causing the wound to widen, and jumped from the shattered window. Goku ran over to Gojyo just as Hakkai came running to the door.
“Oh my god Gojyo. Are you alright, what happened?” Hakkai asked as he kneeled down beside Gojyo.
“I think. I’ve been poisoned.” Gojyo said, his eyes dilated and breathing labored. “My whole body has gone numb. Everything is going... purple? Heh, now I know I’m dying.”
Hakkai moved his hands over the gaping wound in Gojyo’s shoulder and focused on healing the wound and removing the poison from Gojyo’s body. Shit I can’t remove the poison, I don’t even think I can slow its spread, and without knowing the type of venom we can’t get an antidote. A weight settled on his shoulder and he looked up to see Horyuu sitting on his shoulder. She gave a few soft chirps before nuzzling his cheek and taking off out the window.
“Where is she going?” Goku asked while looking out the window.
“To get Howaito I believe. I can’t stop the poison, but he may know how to stop it.” Hakkai looked down at Gojyo who had shut his eyes and was focusing on breathing.
It was almost an hour later and they had moved Gojyo into the other room. Hakkai had refused to eat when their dinner arrived, opting instead to watch over Gojyo. Sanzo had fallen asleep in a chair, head propped back against the wall behind him. Goku was staring out the window wondering how long it would take Howaito to return.
“What room are you in!” came a yell from the hall startling Sanzo, as well as everyone else at the inn, awake.
Sanzo got up from the chair with a muttered curse and opened the door. “Shut the hell up and get in here.”
Howaito walked swiftly into the room. His outfit was similar to the one he had on before only what had been white was now a deep red, and his hair was left unbound and flowing down his back.
He looked down at Gojyo with a frown. “Shit. I was afraid of this.” Hakkai moved out of the way as Howaito sat down on the bed and reached out towards Gojyo’s forehead. “Gojyo. Open your eyes and tell me what color your on.”
With a frown Gojyo opened his eyes and stared up at the ceiling. “Green.”
“Ah that’s good. If it was yellow I’d be worried.” Howaito gently pressed one hand to Gojyo’s left shoulder while settling the other above his right hip. “Tell me, how far has the pins and needles feeling progressed.”
“It’s up to my knees now. I kinda prefer it to the feeling of being an ice cube though.”
Howaito chuckled softly as a soft white glow emitted from his hands. “I doubt you’d be saying that if the sensation was up to your hips.”
“Heh, you’re probably right.” Gojyo’s head lulled to the side and he let off a tired sigh. “Feels good now.”
“It’s late.” Howaito said looking over at them, his whole body seemed to be glowing now. “You should all get some sleep. Gojyo will need rest, his body needs time to recuperate from the poison. Luckily I was able to remove the poison before it did too much damage.”
As Howaito spoke Hakkai could feel his eyes start to droop he turned his head slightly as he lied down on the ground and saw sanzo already asleep in the chair and Goku nodding off at his feet. He could feel an aura in the air pressing around him, lulling them all into a deep sleep.
