Zell: Whatever for?

Gojyo: 'Cause she's beautiful and I haven't had a woman for so long.

Zell: Gee, you seem to be coming off a little desperate there…

Gojyo: Actually, she reminds me of someone but I can't think who. If I get her, I might work it out

Zell: (rolls eyes) You may at that. Fine take her then if you really want to. Just remember one thing Gojyo.

Gojyo: What?

Zell: You WILL regret it…

This fic is written in response to an anti Mary-Sue challenge as challenged by Koryu-Sanzo and Wasabi. The details of the challenge are cut from a chapter of Koryu-Sanzo's anti Mary-Sue fic, 'All is Fair in Love and War with Mary Sue'

'It is your mission to write a fanfic (no matter how crappy or good a writer you are) about a Mary Sue. In this fanfic she must fall in love with the main character. But in the end, she has to be sad, rejected, and the character must be in love with someone else whom they were more loyal to or something. ARAG! JUST WRITE ANTI-MARYSUE FICS! WE'VE GOT TO GET RID OF THE MARY-SUES!'

Gojyo and Mary-Sue

Pt 1 - Prologue

After a week of camping out, Gojyo was immensely grateful that they had finally reached a town. This wasn't just any town, it was a quite a large town with a really great singles bar and a few other assorted nightspots. After dinner (the mealtime bringing along the usual fights with Goku, followed by the usual 'idiot control' by Sanzo) Gojyo decided that he was going to go out and that this time, he would find some gorgeous female company for the night (and hopefully the next couple of days since they had decided to take a small break from their travels to rest and unwind a little, before a certain pissy, blonde monk literally ripped the heads off of his travelling companions.)

To tell the truth, Gojyo was a little worried about himself. He hadn't been able to bed a woman for nearly two months now. This situation was unheard of, or at least should be unheard of in his opinion. Every time that he went out looking for companionship, he would turn the young lady down at the last moment. For some reason, he was becoming rather picky. Something… was missing in every woman he tried to spend the night with but he didn't know what. He just… he couldn't seem to find whatever it was that he was really looking for. Gojyo fervently hoped that tonight would finally break his dry spell and that was why he decided to go to the singles bar that the innkeeper had told him about.

The music at this joint was loud with a great beat. Gojyo found he was rather enjoying himself, even if he still wasn't able to find anyone suitable.

Gojyo started, someone had just tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around expectantly and wasn't disappointed with who he found there. He gazed into the emerald eyes of a beautiful brunette. He didn't even need to look down very far since the woman was only three centimetres shorter than he. She smiled gently at him. "Can I buy you a drink?" the young lady asked in a polite though friendly tone.

Gojyo could feel his heart beginning to pound excitedly. Finally! Here she was and she felt so right! "I would love one," he answered, putting on his most charming smile and slipping his arm around her shoulder, "but shouldn't I be the one to buy you a drink?"

She laughed softly. "If you insist. I only asked because you look as though you have been thirsty for quite some time."

'More than you'll ever know.' Gojyo thought to himself, drinking in her beauty. Her hair was wavy and a little past her shoulders, her lips red and full and that dress! It was a beautiful shade of green, low cut, short and it complemented her perfect figure like almost nothing else could. 'The only way she could possibly look more beautiful would be naked, in bed with me.' He mused. "I'm Gojyo, Sha Gojyo. What may I call you?" he asked turning up the charm.

"My name is Sue." She answered with a bright smile. "Actually, Sue is my middle name, I don't use my first name."

Gojyo tried asking her for her first name but she playfully refused to share. Though she did hint that if they got to know each other a little better she might be more willing to spill her secret.

The two ordered their drinks and when they received them, they went and sat down in a corner booth. "This… may seem a little forward of me Gojyo, but… are you free tonight? I mean, later tonight?"

'Yes!' Gojyo shouted happily within his mind. Out loud though, he answered a little more calmly. "Well, there's nothing going on that I couldn't put aside." 'Hakkai will understand if I don't come back tonight. He knows how long I've been without a warm bed. 'Sides, he knew that I was going looking tonight'

"Oh good!" Sue gave a light, happy laugh. "This place is a little too loud and I would really love to get to know you better in settings… a little more intimate." She flirted, looking at him a little shyly as she sidled closer until she was brushing up against Gojyo's side.

Due to Sue's proximity, Gojyo was able to drink in her scent without being too obvious about it and possibly scaring off such a well-mannered young lady. His head swam but Gojyo didn't care, he figured that it was due to the euphoria of finally finding someone that was worth spending some time and a bed with. Gojyo felt himself being mesmerized by Sue's beauty and easy familiarity and he smiled lovingly at her. There was just something about her, something that seemed to be drawing him in, like a moth to flame and he wasn't going to shy away. No amount of common sense could stop him this time. "Intimate," he breathed, "sounds wonderful."

"Lets go then!" she said, a sense of urgency within her voice that Gojyo somehow managed to miss entirely.

Gojyo and Sue left the singles bar and walked across town to her inn, it seemed that she was also a stranger to this area. Gojyo vaguely noted that the inn was the same one that he and his friends were staying in. Either way, Gojyo was far too enraptured by Sue to comment on the coincidence.

They headed upstairs to Sue's room, passing Hakkai on the way. Gojyo smiled vaguely at his friend before following Sue into her room. He never noticed the unusually annoyed look that appeared on Hakkai's face as they passed.

"Wait for me by the bed. I'll bring us some drinks!" Sue breathed softly, smiling with a beautiful smile that was meant for Gojyo and only Gojyo.

"If you insist." Gojyo answered smiling in return and trying to disguise his impatience.

Sue kept watching the eagerly waiting Gojyo as she prepared two drinks. She slipped a little something extra into one of them, making sure to remember drink it was. Then Sue slowly walked over to her guest with a serene expression filling her face and handed him the drink she had spiked.

He downed it in one mouthful, never noticing that anything was wrong while keeping his crimson eyes focused on her beautiful emerald ones. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and fell back onto the bed, his strength somehow sapped. Sue leaned over him and kissed him lightly. Gojyo felt his entire being fill with bliss just before passing out.
