Hello! Wether this is the first time you are reading my fanfics or you read Look Before you Leap, I hope you enjoy it. I'm warning you though, there is bit of OOCnes and it's not as funny as my other fanfic. This one was made to be more serious.


Chapter 1: Surprise by the road

"Hey, please wake up."

"Is it dead?"

"Wake up already!"

The voices grew louder and the sleeping figure shifted a little, but remained asleep.

"Should we leave it?"

"It's not an 'it,' it's a human girl!"

"Whatever!"

"Five more minutes, Mommy... five more..." said the now half-sleeping girl.

"Ha! She just called the monkey 'Mommy'!"

"She was talking to you!"

"Will you shut up?" The once sleeping girl was now wide awake. "I'm trying to sleep...? Wait, this isn't my room..."

"I should hope not, since we're in the middle of nowhere," said a man with a monical. He had dark brown hair and a smile on his face that looked like it was always there.

"How did you end up out here?" asked a man with long red hair and matching eyes. He also had two scars on his left cheek.

She shrugged. 'How did I end up here? I remember being in my room, reading Saiyuki before bed... but the rest is blank...' She thought. 'Wait, Saiyuki... can't remember getting here... Oh no...!'

"So where are you from? Do you live around here?" Asked the one who didn't look as old as the other ones. He had golden eyes and brown hair that was on the lighter side. He was the one the red-haired man had called a 'monkey.'

"I can't really say where I live exactly. You've probably never heard of it," the girl answered.

"Well, that's too bad. Good luck getting back then!" The red haired man said as he turned to walk away.

"Hey! We can't just leave her here!" The 'monkey' shouted at the red-haired man. "She could die or something!"

"I agree," the man with a monical added. "We shouldn't leave her here to die. We'll have to take her with us."

"Do you really think that our oh-so-wonderful-and kind preist would be okay with that?"

"OK with what?" Suddenly, an other man showed up. He had golden blonde hair and drooping amethyst eyes. However, if the girl didn't know any better, it looked like he was wearing a dress.

"We found this girl sleeping here. Since we can't just leave her here, could we take her with us?" Asked the man with a monical.

The man said nothing.

"Please?" the monkey asked.

"...Fine, but only 'til we get to the next town." He turned to the man with the monical. (A/N: It's kinda fun calling him that...) "How far is it?"

"About four days away," came the reply and a bigger smile.

"Whatever. Hakuryu needs water, though." With that he turned and walked away.


So all of them went to go do... different stuff... except the girl who just sat there for a minute thinking about what to do in this situation.Then she got up and went to go talk to one of the men.

"Hakkai? Could I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure. What is it?" came his reply.

"Umm, I don't know how to explain this very well," She told him everything. From where she was from to how she knew his name.

"That's quite a story, but for all I know, you could just be a very obsessed fan of ours who just happens to live in a nearby town."

"Then how would I know about Kanan? Or that Sanzo puts mayonaise on ramen and honey on umeboshi?" (pickled plums)

HIs smile faded a bit at the sound of his lover's name, but it quickly came back with the mention of Sanzo's weird eating habits.

He laughed little. "All right, I belive you. But now I have a question for you."

"What is it?"

"What are you wearing?" he pointed to the girl's unusual outfit. She looked down at her clothes. They were Pikachu pyjamas with a matching tanktop.

"Ack! I'm exposed!" She said as she tryed to cover herself with her arms. "I thought it was cold!" He laughed again. "It's not funny!"

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry." His hands gripped the bottom of his shirt. She could already tell what he was going to do and covered her blushing face. He then took his shirt off. But remember people, he has that long sleeve shirt under it. You know, the black one?

"Oh! Y-you didn't have t-to do that!" She stammered. "I'll be fine!"

"It's only temperary. You can just wear it 'till we get you something that fits you better," Hakkai had never met a girl that covered her eye (and the rest of her face) even though nobody was exposing anything. With Gojyo around, this was going to be a very interesting trip.

"Umm... ok," She took the shirt from him and put it on. 'It's still warm...' "If the fangirls could see me now..." She muttered and winced at the thought.

"What girls could see you?" Hakkai asked politely.

"Oh, it's just that you have a lot of fangirls back home. Some of them would probobly cut off a foot just to be near you. Part of it is because you are too nice."

"And what would the other part be?"

"You're looks and sad background story. That kind of thing gets them everytime."


Later

"Are we leaving yet?"

"Yeah, so ge- Wait, why are you wearing Hakkai's shirt?" Goku asked.

"Wow Hakkai, isn't she a little young for you?" Gojyo added teasingly. "I never knew you had it in you!"

Then the unexpected happened. She hit Gojyo with a rock she picked up randomly. "Shut up you dirty kappa! It's only until I can get better clothes!"

"Ha! She got you!" exclaimed Goku.

"Shut up monkey!"

"Let's just go," Sanzo was already annoyed with the girl.

And so, the group went on their way to whatever town was nearest. Who knows what it was called, but that's not important.

"Hey, you never told us your name!" Goku realized.

"Oh yeah! What's your name?" asked Gojyo.

She thought for a momet, trying to remember a good Chinese name. "It's Meng-Xin."


A/N: Meng means dream or wishfull. Xin means heart or mind. Together it basicly means dreaming heart. Since I came up with most of this story before bed,(dream) and I put a lot of thought into it,(mind) I came up with this. It will have not real part in the story so if you want me to change it, just ask. But only if you have another name in mind.

Review please!
