Summary: One night on Halloween, when young Kouryuu Sanzo is trick or treating he suddenly hears a voice calling him so he wonders into a graveyard where he falls into a grave and is sent to world where the monsters are real! Now he has to find his way home before the evil Nii finds out he’s there

::Chapter 6::

::Happy Halloween, my dear::

Nii smiled to himself as he watched Kouryuu and the gang through his crystal ball.

“So, it seems this human has some powerful friends. Well, no matter. They will be but a trifle for me. How unfortunate for Kami-sama though. Oh, well. He was old news anyway.” he said as he stood. “Speaking of which, all the preparations have been made, so now I believe it is time to fetch my guess of honor.” Then with that he took a drink of a black, bubbling potion. Then he grabbed a black cloak along with and with a wave of his hand, he vanished in swirl of black smoke.

OoOoOo

As Kouryuu and the gang followed the light from the pumpkin, Kouryuu was distracted. He was happy that he would soon be going home to his father, on the other hand he had gotten really attached to Goku and the thought of leaving him made Kouryuu sad.

“What’s th’ matter, Kouryuu?” Goku asked.

“Oh. Nothing.” Kouryuu quickly lied. “Just a little cold.”

“It is a bit nippy. We must be getting closer.” Hakkai said. Just then there was a large rush of wind that blew out the candle in the jack ‘o lantern.

“Shit! The candle went out! How are we suppose to find that mountain now?” Gojyo cursed.

“We don’t need it. Look!” Goku said as he pointed ahead. They all looked forward and saw a mountain shaped like a giant grinning pumpkin.

“Well... At least we know how it got it’s name.” Kouryuu said as he pulled his cloak around him.

“All right, now all that’s left is to find that Grave Keeper person.” Gojyo said as he stretched. “Man, I’m gonna have a looong sleep in my coffin after this.”

“Just make sure someone buries you after you get in.” Kouryuu replied. Gojyo glared at him. They walked around for awhile until they came to a pumpkin patch. They all sweat dropped.

“Okay, first the name, then the Jack ‘o lantern guide, then the pumpkin shape mountain and now a thriving pumpkin patch? Okay, someone is taking the pumpkin theme too far.” Gojyo said with a sweat drop.

“I agree.” Kouryuu said.

“Woow. Look at all the pumpkins.” Goku said as he jumped forward a little. Unfortunately, he missed his footing and got his foot stuck in a pumpkin, which made him fall forward and get his head stuck in pumpkin. Gojyo laughed.

“Ha! It’s an improvement on you, Goku! You never looked better.” he said. Goku said something back, but it was muffled by the pumpkin. He tried to get it off, but it was stuck on his head. He threw a small fit and tried to push it off, but the only thing he did was fall back. Gojyo chuckled as he walked forward.

“Alright, alright. Keep your tail on, I’ll get you out.” he said as he began to pull at the pumpkin to no avail. While Goku and Gojyo struggled with the pumpkin, Hakkai noticed Kouryuu looking a bit down.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“Nothing.” Kouryuu said. Then he asked, “Hakkai... were sad when you knew you could never go home?” Hakkai was taken by surprise, then replied,

“Well, I was a little. But Kannan and I were orphans in the mediaeval ages. There was no one waiting for me once Kannan was gone. I was alone, until I met Gojyo. It was then I found that home... was a place with people you care for.” Kouryuu looked away.

“That doesn’t help. I know everyone cares for me back in my world, but...” He looked at Goku. Finally Gojyo let out a growl.

“The hell with this!” he growled. Then he drop kicked right on top of Goku’s head, breaking the pumpkin.

“Ow! Hey, what was that for?!” Goku yelled as he held his head.

“Why are you complaining? You’re out of that pumpkin, aren’t you?” Gojyo grinned. Goku muttered something Kouryuu couldn’t hear. He watched Goku sadly as Goku smashed the pumpkin on his foot. After he left... Goku would be alone again.

Before he dwell on it any longer though, a giant pumpkin vine suddenly grabbed him from behind and yanked him back.

“Kouryuu!!” the others yelled. Kouryuu would have yelled as well, if the vine wasn’t now wrapped around his mouth.

“Well, well. So this is the human. You’re even cuter in person.” Nii said as he stepped forward. Kouryuu’s eyes widen as the strange man approached him, he struggled to no avail.

“Nii!” Goku growled as he got into a pouncing position. Gojyo and Hakkai got ready to fight.

“Ah. Yes, I’ve been watching you all and you’ve been very entertaining. But now, I have some experiments to resume and to do that, I need this boy.” Nii said as he brushed his fingers on Kouryuu’s face.

“Mmmpff!” Kouryuu shivered and tried to pull away, but couldn’t.

“Over our dead bodies!” Gojyo growled. Nii smiled.

“Ah. That was of course the idea.” He waved his hand and Kouryuu was suddenly thrown in a magically enlarged Jack ‘O Lantern that clamped it’s mouth shut when Kouryuu landed with a thump. Nii waved his hand again and suddenly a bunch of pumpkins came to life and started to attack the monsters. Goku jumped to the left to avoid one, then grabbed it by it’s vine and swung it around in a circle destroying a bunch of the others. Gojyo meanwhile, flipped in the air and when he landed on his hands, spun around at unnatural speed and created a small wind force that blew the pumpkins away and into each other, while Hakkai gather a bunch of chi energy and blasted the pumpkins, turning them into pumpkin pie.

“Anyone got the turkey?” he joked. Nii just grinned.

“What a lovely idea.” he said as he waved his hand. Then a giant, 9 foot, black crow appeared, it’s eyes glowing like rubies. “Unfortunately, all I have is a crow. And I think that he’ll be dinning on you.”

“Oh, crap!!” Goku exclaimed as he looked up at it.

“I’ll handle this guy!” Gojyo said as he dashed forward. “You two handle the pumpkins and get the kid!” Then he flew up into the air and attacked the bird. Opening wide to reveal his sharp, pearly white fangs and bit deeply into the bird’s wing joint.

“Goku! I’ll handle these guys, you go rescue Kouryuu!” Hakkai said as he blast more possessed pumpkins.

“Got it!” Goku said as he dashed towards the giant pumpkin that held Kouryuu captive.

“I don’t think so.” Nii taunted as he waved his hand again. This time a giant oak tree came to life and slams it’s hand like branch right on top of Goku, then it picked him up. Goku growled in frustrated.

“God dammit!! I’m getting sick of these trees!” he growled as he struggled.

Kouryuu meanwhile, kicked and clawed at his pumpkin prison desperate to get out and help his friends.

“Let me out, dammit! Let me out!” he screamed as he kicked the insides. He had to help his friends! He just had to! The pumpkin, not at all happy about being kicked by some brat, shot some kind of wet slimy tentacle that began to bind Kouryuu.

‘Pumpkin guts?!’ he thought as he struggled to free his arm and legs

“Are you shitting me?! Mmmpff!” he cried before the guts wrapped around his mouth. Then pumpkin guts bound his arms to his sides and his legs together so he couldn’t move no matter how hard he tried.

On the outside it the air, the crow wasn’t happy about being bit and so, using it’s beak, stabbed Gojyo in the back, making the vampire release it’s grip and fall a little. The crow then grabbed Gojyo with it’s talons and threw him towards Hakkai, who he went through.

“Gojyo!” exclaimed Hakkai in worry. The pumpkins advance further and it took everything Hakkai had to keep them away.

Up being held captive by a tree, Goku bit into the wood to the tree making it release it’s grip a bit. Goku took this chance to jump out, but when he landed on the ground he was hit by a huge tree root. Nii laughed as he watched them.

“Ha, ha! You stupid fools! I am the greatest sorcerer of them all! I am the strongest, the smartest--” Nii was suddenly cut of when something hit him in the back of his head with a shovel.

“And the loudest.” a irritated, sexy, seducing like voice said. The voice belonged to a woman with long, flowing silk ebony black hair, that was held in a high ponytail, pale skin and dark, droopy amethyst jewel eyes that shone with mischief and glee. She wore a black tank top and short black mini-skirt with short detached sleeves and long, black high heels. She was leaning against shovel, looking irritated and bored. With Nii unconscious the giant crow returned to it’s normal size, all the pumpkins went back to being life less, the tree returned to normal and finally the pumpkin that was holding Kouryuu disappeared and Kouryuu fell to the ground with a small thud.

“Oof!” he said when he fell.

“Kouryuu! Are you alright?” Goku asked as he ran over to him.

“Yeah, I’m okay. But what about you?” Kouryuu asked. He was a little wet from the pumpkin guts.

“Ha! No worries, I’m a-o-kay!” Goku assured him. “It’ll take more than a tree to stop me!”

“Glad to hear it.” the woman said as she walked forward. “Now who are you and why are you here?” Then he gaze fell on to Kouryuu. “What’s a human doing in this word?”

“It’s a long story. But may we ask who you are?” Hakkai asked. The woman gave him a flat look as she shifted the shovel onto her shoulder.

“Who do you think? I’m the Grave Keeper!” The boys eyes all widen.

“Th-the grave keeper? You?” stuttered Gojyo. “That thing?”

“She doesn’t look like a Grave Keeper. I was expecting an old man.” said Hakkai.

“You two have some nerve.” growled the Grave Keeper. “What do you two want?”

“Well, our friend here needs to get home. Can you help us?” Hakkai said as he motioned to Kouryuu. The Grave Keeper stared at Kouryuu, then turned.

“Oh, that’s no problem. Follow me!” she said as she walked away. The boys all turned to each other.

“Well, I guess this is good bye.” said Hakkai.

“Yeah,” Gojyo said as he ruffled Kouryuu’s golden locks. “What can I say? You’re the most annoying prick I know, but hey. You just grew on me. Take care.”

“Like wise.” Kouryuu said flatly. Hakkai chuckled.

“It was nice to see a another human again, even for a short while. I do hope you’ll be okay in your world.”

“I will. There’s a lot of people looking out for me there.” Kouryuu assured him. Finally he turned to Goku. When he opened his mouth to say something, Goku hugged him.

“Thanks for comin’ all th’ way her ta help me. I’ll miss ya, Kouryuu.” he told him. Kouryuu wanted to say something but then The Grave Keeper yelled,

“Oi! Get yer damn ass over here, or you’ll never get home!” Kouryuu took one last look at Goku and breathed,

“Goodbye.” then ran over to the angry woman with the shovel. When he got near he saw that she was standing over a hole much like the grave he had fallen into.

“Ready to go home kid?” she asked. Kouryuu nodded and the woman smirked.

“Well. In you go then.” She lifted her shovel... And nailed him in the back of his head.

“YEOW!” Kouryuu cried before he fell head first into the grave, only seeing stars as he fell.

OoOoOo

When Kouryuu opened his eyes, his head was throbbing.

“Kouryuu! Kouryuu!” he head familiar voices yell. It was Lirin and Yaone!

“Hey, here he is! Oi! We found him.” he heard Dokugakuji yelled. Then someone grabbed him and pulled him out of the grave. “You okay, kiddo?” Dokugakuji asked as he looked into Kouryuu’s eyes.

“Besides the throbbing head ache, I’m fine.” Kouryuu said as he rubbed his head.

“What were you thinking?! Running into a graveyard, you could have been seriously hurt!” Yaone scolded.

‘Yeah, like I’m not already hurt.’ Kouryuu wanted to say, but thought better of it.

“Sorry.” he muttered instead.

“Why did you come here?” Kougaiji asked.

“I thought heard something crying.” he responded as he looked at the ground. As all that a dream?

“Well, I’m glad you found what you were looking for.” a voice said. Kouryuu looked up and saw the grave keeper!

‘Shit! It’s the crazy woman with the shovel.’

“By the way, I think this was the thing you heard, boyo.” the Grave Keeper said as she held something out. It was a puppy with matted brown hair and big, puppy dog eyes. Kouryuu gasped.

“Goku?!” he exclaimed as he took the puppy.

“Eh? Is this your dog?” Lirin asked.

“No...” Kouryuu said as the puppy licked him. “But he is a friend.”

“Eh?” The Kogaiji gang all said as they looked at him questionably. The Grave Keeper laughed.

“Relax. It’s Halloween and strange things always happen... on all Hallow’s Eve.” Then she looked at Kouryuu.

“Happy Halloween... Little Kouryuu Sanzo.”

Yay! This is the first time I’ve ever finished a fanfic, beginning to end!(that is so sad.)

Review and tell me what you thought about it.

And, of course, Happy Halloween!
