Disclaimer: I do not own Gensomaden Saiyuki or Saiyuki Gaiden. I only own my Saiyuki poster,  Saiyuki key chain, my Saiyuki soundtracks (CDs), my VCDs of Gensomaden Saiyuki the Movie-Requiem, of episodes 1-2 and episodes 49-50…… so don't sue me!!! I'm just a crazed Saiyuki otaku!! ^__^;;

Author's note: Yatta!! ^__^ My fifth Saiyuki fic!! ^__^ This is another fic (like my second Saiyuki fic, "Unforgettable Adventure") which won't or doesn't make so much sense… though, this fic would be kind of confusing. ^__^;;;; Anyway, I'll continue with the story. ^__^ Gee, I'm smiling so widely… ^__^;;; I'm just happy because I will soon buy the manga of Saiyuki Reload… and I'm saving money for it. Hopefully I can buy it this December. ^__^ By the way, most [or all] of the chapter titles in this fic would be in Japanese. Don't bother, since the words just [kind of] crossed my mind…… ^__^;;;

Maa, let's get on with the fic… please read and review!! Arigato gozaimasu!! ^__^

A Saiyuki fic

By: Suteki Hakkai, Kawaii Syaoran

Chapter 1 – Hikari no Tatakai

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

It was a peaceful morning… and the Sanzo-ikkou still continuing their Westward journey. We find them once again in the desert. It was dawn, so the breeze isn't so hot yet. Everything was quiet, and, as usual, Goku's growling stomach broke the silence once again.

"Ah…harahetta…" Goku whined. He leaned forward, so his face is between Sanzo and Hakkai. He turned to Hakkai and he let out a frown. "Ne, Hakkai, aren't we there yet?!"

"Hai hai… Don't worry… we'll be there soon…" Hakkai replied with his usual smile.

"How soon is soon?! HARAHETTA!!!" Goku shouted.

"Yare yare…" Hakkai said as he covered his left ear, still smiling though sweatdropping at the same time, while several veins appeared on Sanzo's head. Sanzo brought out his fan. "Bakasaru!!!" Sanzo shouted as he hit Goku hard on the head.

"Itaiiiii!!!!!" Goku squealed as he held his head.

"Ch'… bakasaru. Don't shout or it'll get hotter." Sanzo sternly said.

"Hai…" Goku uttered, still holding his head.

"Heh… you brain-stomach monkey…" Gojyo teased.

"I'm not a brain-stomach monkey you ero-kappa!!" Goku shouted back.

"Oh~? Wanna fight, saru?" Gojyo smirked.

"Yosh~!!!" Goku said as he tackled Gojyo, and the two started bickering again.

*laughs uneasily* "Peaceful isn't it?" Hakkai said as he turned to Sanzo.

"Ch'… what a racket…" Sanzo murmured.

Goku and Gojyo were still bickering, and they became noisier. Hakkai sighed when he saw Sanzo had numerous veins appearing on his head. Hakkai smiled and continued driving, and he just prepared himself for Sanzo's gun…

*BANG BANG BANG* "URUSAI!!! ASKING FOR DEATH?!" Sanzo shouted to the bickering two as he shot several bullets to the sky. Goku and Gojyo gulped and became silent.

-----

"Hmm… gunshots…" Kougaiji said as he looked into the horizon. "They're near… for sure, I'll get the sutra this time…" Kougaiji clenched his fist.

"Kougaiji-sama, look…" Yaone interrupted his thoughts. "I think that's them."

"Yay~! Let's go let's go!!!" Lilin jumped up and down, up and down…

"Ok ok, calm down chibi…" Dokugakuji said as he tried to calm down the excited Lilin.

-----

"Anou…" Hakkai broke the silence. "I think we're being followed…"

"Hm. I don't think so," Sanzo cut in. "They're right in front of us."

And, as Sanzo said, the Kougaiji-ikkou appeared right in front of them. Hakkai stopped the jeep.

"Hn. You can tell where we are huh? Hand over the Evil Sutra!" Kougaiji shouted.

"Well, you'll get the same answer – and it is NO." Sanzo flatly said.

"Oi Kougaiji!! Let's fight!!" Goku went in front of Sanzo.

"Ok then!" Kougaiji stood in a battle stance.

And the fight started, with Goku vs. Kougaiji, Hakkai vs. Yaone, Gojyo vs. Dokugakuji, and Sanzo vs. Lilin… but the latter didn't look like they were fighting.

"Ne, baldie Sanzo, lets play lets play!!!" Lilin jumped on Sanzo.

"Get off, you brat!!" Sanzo said as he struggled to get Lilin off himself.

…

"Well, it looks like I'm your opponent…" Yaone said, smiling.

"Hai… soreja, get ready…!!" Hakkai smiled as he dodged an attack from Yaone.

…

"Yosh~ let's get to work!!" Dokugakuji said as he brought out his sword.

"Heh… I think you meant fight…" Gojyo smirked as he also brought out his weapon, his shaku jou or Crescent Moon.

…

"Let's go!! Kougaiji!!" Goku shouted as he charged towards Kougaiji. "NYOIBO!!!" Goku held his Nyoibo and he thrusted it towards Kougaiji, who evaded the attack.

"Kuso~!" Goku uttered as he kept on attacking Kougaiji, but to no avail. "This is good anyway, at least I can have a few minutes of workout… and I enjoy it anyway…" Goku murmured.

"A workout eh?" said a cold and creepy voice. Everyone heard it, and they stopped fighting (or playing, in Sanzo's case) for a while.

"Who are you?" Sanzo said, even if no one other than his comrades or the Kougaiji-ikkou can be seen.

"You don't need to know me. I'll just take a look it you can get out of this challenge… Good luck…" the voice 'faded'.

Gojyo turned to Kougaiji. "Oi, is he one of your men?" he asked.

"Nope." Kougaiji replied.

"Ah~ soudana…" Gojyo said.

Suddenly, a bright light covered the Sanzo-ikkou and the Kougaiji-ikkou. Everyone shielded their eyes because of the light.

"What's this?!" Goku exclaimed.

"How should I know?!" Sanzo answered back.
