:Chapter 1:

:Into the Grave:

One night, on All Hallows Eve night, not too long ago, was a small town known as Oak Ridge. In that small town lived a thirteen year boy named Kouryuu Genjyo Sanzo.

“Kouryuu! Come on, down! Yaone and her friends are here to take you trick or treating.” Kouryuu sighed as he put his book down and grabbed a orange pumpkin mask. He lived alone with his father, Koumyou Sanzo in middle class house in a middle class neighborhood ever since his mother died in a car accident five years ago. His father was a collage professor and was working late tonight so Kouryuu was going trick or treating with his father’s friends.

“Thank you for taking with you tonight, Miss Yaone. I would take him myself, but unfortunately I’m swamped with work.” he heard his father say as he entered the living room. His father was an elderly man around his forties with long, pale brown hair in a long, thick braid and deep brown eyes.

“Not at all! It’s my pleasure! After all, Kouryuu is very well behaved.” Yaone said pleasantly. She was pretty woman who had long purple hair and bright brown eyes. She was dressed up as an alchemist(or at least that’s what Kouryuu thought.).

“Speaking of which, where is the little tike?” a 18 year old man with short black hair and blue eyes asked as he looked over Koumyou’s and Yaone’s shoulder. His name Dokugakuji and he was dressed up as some kind of scout soldier or something to Kouryuu. He spotted Kouryuu as he walked forward. “Hey, goldie-chan! What’re you suppose to be?”

“I could ask you the same thing.” shrugged Kouryuu. “Ask Lirin, she picked it out.”

“He’s Jack ‘O Lantern!” a young 13 year old girl said enthusiastically as she jumped forward and glomped Kouryuu. Lirin was a spunky young girl with long, pumpkin orange hair in a long ponytail, and bright leaf green eyes. She was dressed as a little witch with a long, black hat and long sleeved light purple shirt with a matching skirt and a thick black belt. “Doesn’t it look great on him?”

“Ugh! Lirin, please!” Kouryuu growled as he pushed Lirin off him. Kouryuu wasn’t too bad looking a kid himself, with his short radiant sun golden hair, lily pale skin, and deep, droopy amethyst eyes. He wore a long sleeved black shirt, thin black shorts, and a short black cape with a bright orange pumpkin mask which he wore on the side of his head. He looked over a the fourth member of the group.

“What are you suppose to be? A demon prince?” he asked a tall man with tan skin and long red hair with dark lavender eyes, who was wearing a long black shirt, long cream color pants, and many jewelry pieces. His name was Kougaiji and he was Lirin’s older half-brother as well as Yaone’s boyfriend. He smirked at Kouryuu.

“Actually, yes.” he said. Then he turned to Yaone. “We better get going if we want to get to all the houses tonight.”

“Ah! That’s right! Okay everyone, let going! Come on, Kouryuu,” Yaone said as she clapped her hands together. Koumyou bent down and hugged his son.

“Goodbye, Kouryuu. I’m sorry I can’t take you myself.” he said. Kouryuu shrugged.

“No big deal. It’s just trick or treating.” he said.

‘Actually I wouldn’t be going myself, if Lirin didn’t force me into promising I’d go.’ he thought to himself. They all left Koumyou and started walking down the brightly decorated streets. There were pumpkin, ghost and skeleton decorations everywhere along with a little fake cobweb here and there and soon the kids had lost of candy.

“Wow! I just love Halloween! All the ghosts, vampires, and werewolves! So awesome! And look at all the pretty decorations!” Lirin said gleefully, her eyes sparkling. Lirin was really into all this Halloween stuff Kouryuu on the other hand, didn’t really care.

“You know, Lirin, Halloween originally ordinated from the European holiday, ‘All Hollow’s Eve’, which was also known as ‘All Saints day’. Anyway, All Hollow’s Eve was day for harvest wheat and crops. In other words, it has nothing to do with monsters.” he explained.

“Aww! Really? That sucks! Then why does everyone dress up?” Lirin whined.

“Same reason you do; To get free candy and stuff.” Kouryuu shrugged.

“Oh! Speaking of which, there’s one now!” Lirin jumped excitedly. She grabbed Yaone’s hand and ran towards a house. “C’mon, Yaone, let’s go!”

“Ahh! Wait minute, Lirin!” Yaone cried as she was pulled along. The boys watched with sweat drops.

“So you’re not going?” Dokugakuji asked Kouryuu.

“Nope. I have enough for father and I. Besides, if I get anymore I’ll be in the seat right next to Lirin at the dentist.” he answered as he held his pumpkin candy basket.

“That’s true!” laughed Dokugakuji. Kougaiji had a grim smile. He knew who would be sitting next to Lirin in the dentist office whether he ate candy or not.

“So why are you two chaperoning a couple of kids? Shouldn’t you be at party getting drunk or something?” Kouryuu asked as he looked up at them.

“Well, we were going to, but then Kou here found out Yaone was chaperoning you and Lirin, so naturally he had to come. And he’s gets into so much trouble when I’m not around, so I decided to tag along.” Dokugakuji answered as he lightly punched Kou in the shoulder.

“Knock it off.” Kou said in friendly growl. Kouryuu watched them joke around when he suddenly heard something.

“Help! Hey! Someone let me out!”

Kouryuu turned his head.

“Huh...?” he said.

“What’s wrong?” Kougaiji asked.

“Did ether of you... hear something?” he asked.

“Huh?” said Kou. Then Lirin and Yaone came back.

“Okay, we’re done with this house! Let’s get a move on!” Lirin cheered.

“Ah! Lirin, wait up!” Yaone called as she ran after her. Dokugakuji laughed as he followed.

“C’mon, guys! Let’s go.”

“Right,” Kougaiji said. Then he turned to Kouryuu. “Are you okay?” Kouryuu was silent.

‘Was I just hearing things?’ he wondered.

“I’m fine.” he said aloud.

“Alright, then.” Kougaiji followed the others, but Kouryuu lagged behind a little. He couldn’t help but feel as if he heard something.

“Let me out! Please let me out!”

Kouryuu fully turned now. Okay, this was getting annoying!

“Please... Let ne out of here!”

Kouryuu covered his ears. That’s it! He couldn’t take it anymore! He looked after the others. They were busy with Lirin right now, so he should be able to find whoever was yelling and maybe, just maybe, get back before they noticed he was gone. Without another thought, he took off down the street to where he thought the voice was coming from, holding his candy basket tight. When he finally stopped he was in front of a graveyard. He looked through the gates, panting.

‘Do I really have to go in there?’ he wondered.

“Help!”

Kouryuu covered his ears again.

‘All right, all right! I’m going!’ he growled in his head. He pushed on the gate a little and it swung open. He blinked. ‘Whoa. That was weird. Oh, wait! Now I get it. A kid must have broken into the graveyard for the usual Halloween laugh and got stuck in a crypt somewhere.’ he figured as he entered through the gates. ‘What kind of idiot comes to a graveyard at night alone? Oh, right me.’ Kouryuu shivered a little as he felt a cold eerie breeze blow on him and he felt himself tense up as he walked through the graveyard. Halloween or not, it was unnerving walking through a graveyard alone at night. Why did he come here again?

“Help!”

Oh, that’s why.

“Where are you?” he yelled.

“Help!”

Kouryuu looked around until his gaze finally landed on a empty grave.

‘Did someone fall in?’ he wondered.

“Hello?” he said as he stared at it. He walked over to it and peered in. “Hello?” he called once again, a bit louder this time.

“Help!” the voice called, a bit louder. Kouryuu stared in, but only saw blackness. He learned in further.

“Hell-ooooooohhhhhhhhahhhhh!!” he cried as he fell forward into the grave. He was expecting to hit the cold, hard dirt, but that didn’t happen at all.

When he should have hit dirt, he instead he seemed to fall through the dirt into a bright golden vortex! Kouryuu screamed as he fell, the vortex swirling around him like a tornado, until finally he fell into a bright light.

The next thing Kouryuu knew he felt like he had been spat out and landed on hard, cold ground. He sat up, holding his head.

“Oww... What happened?” He looked around and was shocked at what he saw. He seemed to be in a dark, creepy forest, and all the trees seemed to have eyes that stared at him. He shook a little with fear as he looked around with wide eyes.

“Where... Where am I?”

I wrote this to get in the Halloween spirit. I used Kouryuu instead of Sanzo because Sanzo’s too adult for this fic.
