Chaptire 11: The Divine Truth of the Old Monkey and the Old Dragon

 

 

Jessy paced across her bedroom floor, chewing the tip of her tongue fiercely. It had been months since she came to the human world, and still no word from her father. No letter, no messengers from Heaven dropped by with an oral message. She wasn't just angry, no, she was livid. It simply was not fair.

 

Of course she understood her father was busy, he had always been busy. Since she was born there was hardly ever a time when Jessy wasn't being raised or cared for by another God or Goddess. It wasn't that he didn't ever spend time with Jessy, because he did, thus their close relationship.

 

But he was a very, very busy god.

 

“However,” Jessy thought “That isn't a reason to not send even a messenger to say `hello.'” She sighed and clapped her hands over her ears as if trying to stop all the thoughts from rushing to her brain. She knew very well that most thought led to actions, and most actions led to trouble. Clamping her hands over her ears did not help.

 

Because the next thought she had made her very angry, not just at her father or herself, it made her angry towards Ranma, Her surrogate big brother/uncle. “More like my gay surrogate big brother.” She removed her hands and found an odd noise coming from downstairs. An odd noise she had heard before when Cho Hakkai and the perverted war-god Sha Gojyo were supposed to be taking care of her, when in reality they had just given her food, water and some toys and sent her to another room. It was the sound of two men mating.

 

Well, in this case, two boys. “Ick.” Jessy thought “In his mother's house?” She frowned and made an impatient noise. It simply was not fair. Ranma didn't realize how lucky he was to have such a wonderful mother who paid attention to him, even if they were hiding from Ranma's father. Botan did everything for Ranma, she went out of her way to make sure her son was happy. And it wasn't with gifts and messengers. It was with love.

 

And what did Ranma do for her in return? He used his mother's house to go have gay sex in. He left her alone sometimes to go and train or complete missions in the demon world. He refused to allow his mother to have a relationship with a man. He wouldn't let her fall in love, and forced Botan to love in secret. He didn't even realize the increasing numbers of “meetings” she was having these days.

 

Jessy snorted, Ranma was in for a big surprise when he found out about Botan and Ken's engagement. Jessy wasn't really supposed to know, but she had overheard them the previous week.

 

When the thought struck her a surge of pure malice swept through her and she was running down the hallway towards Ranma's unlocked room. She kicked the door open and the two boys moved apart. A long string of profanities left Jessy's mouth before she ran back to her room. She began pacing again, a bit frantic at this point. She was angry and frustrated and bored and lonely all at the same time and nothing of the sort had ever happened before. It was like the entire planet just suddenly caved in on her.

 

Everything was fuzzy and she felt drunk. Or at least, that's what she figured being drunk must feel like. The room was spinning and she was breathing very hard. There was definitely something wrong with this world. “I just want to go home!” she moaned, falling to the floor, rocking herself. There were tears running down her face, and the room was suddenly very cold. Colder than anything else she had ever felt.

 

She fell over on her side and screamed, biting her tongue. She needed something solid, everything was slippery, nothing felt real. Not even the floor felt real. There was something strange going on. There was something or someone trying to pry into her mind. There were soft, barely audible whispers that would reach her. They were so quiet, yet they were so mean. She knew the voice was actually screaming, but because it couldn't reach her they were quiet.

 

Jessy bit her tongue harder, she tasted copper. The voice was ebbing away. More copper. The voice was almost gone. She screamed again as the voice gave one final attempt to whisper, but she bit her tongue even harder. She was swallowing the golden blood of her soul, the warmth of her blood filled her mouth and suddenly she was back. She was no longer sweating, her breathing was returning to normal and the room was finally stationary.

 

She got up to her feet, shakily. She threw her arms out wildly, as if she would fall. But she didn't. She furrowed her brow and thought about what just happened. But no matter what she thought of, none of it made sense. She began to pace again, frustrated.

 

But still, nothing sensible came to mind.

 

She stopped pacing and stared at the gifts from her father, the ones he gave her before he dumped onto the Deaths. Among the hundreds of gifts was a porcelain doll modeled to look exactly like her father. Staring at the doll enraged her and with a rush of adrenaline she picked up the doll and lifted it to throw it right through the wooden door of her bedroom.

 

But she stopped short hand and sighed. She gazed at the smiling face of the doll, the golden porcelain shining brightly, it wasn't the doll's fault her father wasn't around. With another sigh she held the doll close and plopped down on the bed, pulling her knees up close to her, she closed her eyes and tried to imagine she was hugging her father. And with all of her tiny heart, she hoped he would show up soon and he would take her home, away from this horrible place.

 

What she didn't know was that her father, in Spirit World currently attending a meeting of the great deities of Heaven and Spirit World, was also wishing he could see her and take her home. He sat at the enormous, golden table, at the end with the Jade Prince, the former Sanzo Priest, the War God Sha Gojyo and the God doctor Cho Hakkai along one side of the table with the Jade Prince at the head, and several other gods and goddesses among them.

 

On the opposite side of the table were several Ferry Girls from the Spirit World, several other “important” spirits, Master Yu and at the opposite head was Koenma. Goku was tapping his long fingernails impatiently on the table, his gold coronet shining brightly, he gave an exasperated sigh and looked pointedly at the Jade Prince. “Could we get this show on the road, now, Nataku?” he asked vehemently “I have places to be and people to see.”

 

“As do we all, Son Goku.” Koenma put in, the table grew quiet and all eyes were on Goku.

 

The monkey king smiled, feigning politeness “Yes, well, Koenma,” He started “I have a daughter whom I have not seen in over half a year and today is a very important anniversary-so if you would shut the fuck up and let the big boys handle our business we can be on our way.” The Heaven side of the table erupted into laughter, and Koenma went red.

 

He opened his mouth to argue but Cho Hakkai stood up “Please, if we may allow the Jade Emperor to start?” Koenma glared at Goku who merely smiled.

 

Nataku (the Jade emperor/prince whatever you want to call him) rolled his eyes and stood up. “Now, I have brought us all together for not only the typical meeting, but also for a grave matter. The matter of the criminal who has been killing Master Yu's students, both former and current, we have discovered that there is a link between the murder victims other than their teacher. And this is what involves not only the human world and the Spirit World—“

 

“-I thought the great deities of Heaven only helped the other worlds is when it directly involves them?” Koenma cut off, nearly all the heads and eyes of Heaven turned crossly towards the son of Enma. He went red and Master Yu cleared his throat.

 

“As it would appear,” he started calmly “This matter does involve Heaven. Now if we may-“

 

“How?” Heaven's deities turned back towards Koenma, several of them stood up.

 

“Beg pardon?” Nataku said softly, motioning for the others to sit back down.

 

“How and why does the `matter' involve you?” Koenma elaborated, crossing his fingers under his chin “As I remember, there have been several other occurrences that have slightly involved you and you didn't raise a hand to help.”

 

“The `reason,' Koenma,” Goku said calmly, standing up and placing his large, hands palm-down on the golden table. His bronze skin glowed angrily “Is unimportant. BUT. As you are a persistent little bug-I will tell you why we are involving ourselves.”

 

Sha Gojyo placed a hand on Goku's shoulder, their eyes met for just a moment and Goku nodded slightly, dismissing the silent interruption “The reason is because me daughter is down on earth in the line of fire. Her life is too much of a risk. I will not allow her pure blood be shed on the now putrid earth. Once it was my home and once my home was beautiful, once my home was peaceful and blissful, once my home was safe to roam on, but now…Now, Koenma.”

 

The silence was thick, Sanzo closed his eyes and sighed “Now the earth is nothing but a brothel for lost souls. We will not allow one of our own, one of our young, Koenma, to become one of them.” He finished for Goku who turned and gave him a thankful smile.

 

Koenma slammed his fists down on the table “WHAT?!” he bellowed “A goddess? That is the only reason you are helping? Because the precious Princess Jessy Son Wu K'ung is in danger!? Where were you when the golden seal was stolen? Where were you when-“

 

“IRRELEVENT!” Kanzeon Bosatsu bellowed standing up along with several of the other members of Heaven “DO YOU NOT REALIZE WHAT THAT CHILD MEANS TO HEAVEN? TO YOU? TO ALL THE WORLDS?!” The table erupted into a clamor of anger, ferries against gods and goddesses. And all the time, Goku, Gojyo, Hakkai, Sanzo, Nataku and Master Yu stayed silent.

 

They allowed the others to continue to yell for what seemed an eternity and then finally Master Yu slammed his tea cup down with such a ferocious slam the entire golden table shattered into large pieces. The entire meeting went silent. Hakkai cleared his throat gently “Prince Koenma,” he started “You do not seem to understand the severity of the situation.” Koenma frowned “The fact of the matter is this: even we do not know the identity of the criminal.”

 

“We do not know their whereabouts.” Said Sanzo.

 

“We do not know of their class level, their strength their origins, whether they have an army or not…” said Gojyo.

 

“We do not even know if this person is a human, a demon, a god or any other form of being.” Nataku added.

 

 

“But we do know this: He is after a certain person, and he is able to control this person's actions. But not only his actions, but his mind as well. And not just his mind…” Goku started softly.

 

“He can control even Hiei Jaganshi's mind.” The five said together, causing an audibly gasp to start amongst the members of the Spirit World. Koenma's face paled.

 

“W-what?” he stuttered.

 

“Even Hiei is unaware of it.” Kanzeon Bosatsu put it “We are not sure if he can control a god's mind, which is one reason…”

 

“We sent my daughter to human world…” Goku said bitterly “As a guinea pig.” He swallowed hard “And we are worried…that…”

 

“Goku.” Hakkai stopped him and continued for him, Goku was shaken “We have been attempting to send messengers to Human world, to speak with the princess…”

 

“And each messenger has never returned.” Gojyo stood up “Meaning he can block and or kill messenger gods. Who the hell knows what else he can do? And to a child no less? If he gained control of the child's mind, he would have access to all the worlds.”

 

“He would also be able to create worlds, bring the Netherworld back, “ Sanzo smirked bitterly “Kill all of us, take control…”

 

“Basically,” Nataku said “He would take over the universe. It was a dangerous and stupid risk-“ he glanced at Gojyo “-to send the princess to the human world.”

 

The truth of the matter was this: This new enemy had been around for a very, very long time, since before Ranma was born. And the war god Gojyo had known about this. However, being the competitive and intrigued god he was, he allowed the “power surge” he had called it, to roam around and see what damage it caused. He had kept track of the power, but when it gained control of Hiei, Gojyo lost the path.

 

He allowed Botan to believe Hiei had raped her of his own will, he even allowed Hiei to believe this as well because for a long time the power lay dormant. Btu to be on the safe side, Gojyo persuaded Goku to send Jessy to Master Yu to heighten and develop her strength, in case Jessy's power was needed to fight against this power surge.

 

When the power reappeared, Gojyo told Goku that Jessy was in danger in both Heaven and the Demon World and that the best place for her to be was in the Human world. That, however, was a lie. Gojyo had only sent Jessy there to be his guinea pig.

 

And his plan had not gone his way. Luckily, however, Goku was a forgiving god and he told Gojyo he was not at fault.

 

Gojyo bit his lip and looked away from Nataku, and found the contorted face of Goku, the knot of building guilt twisted painfully. The monkey king was worried about his daughter. They had no idea if she was being controlled or not. They had no idea if she was causing irreparable damage to Human World and no one could detect it.

 

“Anyway,” Master Yu interrupted the awkward silence “I am sure that prince Koenma is curious as to the other connection, besides the victims being my students, between them.”

 

“Oh, yes,” Nataku nodded thankfully “The other reason is that all of the victims…were on some way or another deeply connected to a certain…demon who is currently residing in the human world.”

 

“Who is that?” Koenma asked calmly.

 

“Ranma Death, of course-oops.” One of the gods slapped a hand over his mouth as the words left his mouth, he looked worriedly at Goku who glared back.

 

“Death?” Koenma blinked “Ranma Death? Death, are you sure? Is he related to-“

 

“Idiot!” Kanzeon Bosatsu slapped the god over the head with her hand “Moron! That child's name is taboo in the presence of the pacifier sucking fart!”

 

“I'm sorry!” the god cried, Koenma slammed his hands on the table.

 

“DEATH!?” he bellowed “DEATH?! My Death?!”

 

“Oh, come the fuck off it, Koenma!” Sanzo yelled, chucking a piece of golden table at the prince's head “She isn't yours! She is her own, you bastard! When will you get over the fact that she does not want to see you? You'd think you would have gotten the hint when she had your fucking detectives chucked out of that publishing building!”

 

“You knew?!” Koenma yelled “You knew where she was?!”

 

“We know where she is, Koenma!” Gojyo yelled “We've known for years! We've known since she left your dumb ass!”

 

“WHAT?!” Koenma screeched, he slammed his hands on the shattered table, cutting his hands “WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED OF THIS?! WHY HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING ALL OF THIS FROM ME?! WHERE IS SHE?! AND WHO THE HELL IS-“

 

“Her son.” Goku said softly, all eyes turned towards him “Ranma Death, highest ranking of `A' class fire demon. So high, in fact, he will be made a God when he passes from his physical form.” A thick silence passed around “He is fifteen years old. He will be sixteen this June, a day before my Jessy turns ten.” Goku turned his blazing golden eyes towards Koenma.

 

“You will not approach him.” His voice was threatening, he stood up and walked towards Koenma, who was pale and shaking “Ranma and Botan are under my protection. You will not lay a hand on either of them. You shall leave them alone. Should you disobey me, Koenma, I will wage a war against the Spirit World. I will have all of heaven backing me-“

 

“And all of Demon World as well.” Master Yu agreed standing up, the rest of Heaven stood up.

 

“Even through this fight against this mind-controlling bastard,” Goku continued menacingly “I will wage a war against you and your father and all of your world, believe me, I will. And I will win.”

 

“WE ARE HERE, SON GOKU.” Heaven declared. Koenma shook violently.

 

“Dismissed.” Nataku said strongly, turning on his heel and exiting on a cloud back towards Heaven. Goku, Gojyo, Hakkai and Sanzo were the last to leave. Koenma stood there, still shaking, the ferries tried to console him and he ordered them to leave.

 

Ayame stayed there next to him “Koenma-“

 

“Even you, Ayame.” He whispered, closing his eyes “You need to get back to work, too. I-I will be going to human world to discuss these matters with Yusuke. I will be back soon.” And with that he left, still as cold and pale as when Goku threatened him.
