The scent of water
 
”It was killing our people,” the town manager said.
The river was big
and the town
terrified.
“She is very brave. And powerful, of course.
A daughter of a halfbreed. One quarter
of the wild side.
And temperamentic as Hell, she is.”
 
He had been a water youkai. Kappa, maybe.
Whatever he was, he took them boldly
from their beds,
dragged them into water.
 
That was when the screaming started.
 
(Hakkai could understand why they hadn't run to help. Really, he could.
He hated it all the same.)
 
So she had waited him on the sand
a plump rump and dark eyes
too delicious to resist.
“I'll fuck you and eat you then, doll,” he had said.
She had
smirked:
“Like hell you will!”
He had said:
“Petty tasty pest!” Then he had said: “Fuck!”
And eventually:
“Don't kill me! Please!”
There was the scent of water and the scent of blood.
 
And then no more.
 
“How could it have a mother,” he asked.
“Don't be dumb,” she said. Really, everyone
has a mother.
Crazy people are not excluded.
 
The mother had silenced the party.
So there she was again, standing on the beach.
And they were too.
 
(Even though Sanzo had bitched about it.)
 
Gojyo liked her. She had smiled to his hair, said:
“Like my father!”
And even if she hadn't he was still a good, helpful person.
So was Goku and Sanzo, well
relatively good, if not
exactly helpful.
He? It was a possibility. Anyway he, couldn't leave her alone.
 
And the gods were watching.
At least
one cattily hermaphrodite was.
 
“A murderer!” the mother screamed.
“What would you say if I ripped you and ate you?” She
had frowned.
“The karmic law, maybe?” She stroke and she blocked.
“I said I would understand, not
that I wouldn't fight back.”
Even Sanzo could respect her for that.
Not that he would admit it, Hakkai knew.
A gunshot and a cut.
She had a knife as long as her forearm.
 
She was a very dangerous mother. She could make the water level rise.
 
A shakujoku. A nyoibo. Chi bolts.
The good mother
took them all and stood.
She cut her. The mother
stood no chance against the Sutra.
“I'll take you with me!” she screamed.
“My son!” she screamed.
Then just the scent of water.
No blood flew through her veins.
 
They left the town when it dawned.
Only she was awake, the rest of the townspeople
had the hungover
of their life.
 
“I'll remember you always!” she shouted.
There was a snort.
“I'm hungry!” Goku said.
“Baka chimp! You have the lousiest timing ever!”
“Ero kappa!”
“Silence or death!”
 
Only Hakkai was watching.
