Conflict of Interests
A/N: I see a lot of fics where YYH is crossed over with Harry Potter and various other anime. But I have never seen one involving them crossed over with Gensoumaden Saiyuki. I think it would interesting to have the Urameshi team meet the Sanzo party.

Ch.1
Being transported to another dimension was one thing Yusuke had not assumed could happen during the assignment. They had defeated all their target's goons, were about to burst into the hideout of the demon and beat him into oblivion, and then they simply vanished. Well there was an odd noise and the entire room seemed to ripple and fade as it warped and changed color. They found themselves standing in a laboratory instead.
The four stood on a metal platform in the middle of the room. It looked diserted.
Kuwabara was the first one to speak, " Uh...What just happened, you guys?"
"Hell if I know," Yusuke frowned," Yo! Is anyone in this dump?"
He noticed movement off to his left and turned to see a human in a lab coat, standing a few feet from them with a smile on his face.
"You all arrived intact I see. Wonderful."
"Yeah, and who are you? "Yusuke asked, noting the guy was carrying a stuffed rabbit under one arm.
"My name is Dr. Ni."
"Okay, Ni, why are we here? I was in the middle of an important fight, you know."
The man's eyes widened slightly," Oh? Then I apologize for the inconveinence if I brought you here at a bad time, "the smile then returned to his face, "I am in a bit of a dilemma, and could not locate anyone in my dimension that could assist me with my problems."
"And we're suppose to help you simply because you brought us here," Hiei snorted.
"Of course not, but I had to at least try, yes?"
"Where are we exactly? "Kurama asked.
"Ah yes... Welcome to Shangri La."
"Shangri La? Never heard of it," Yusuke stepped down from the platform.
"For your sake, human, I hope you can send us back," Hiei followed Yusuke, glaring at the man.
"Well... I could... if I possessed a necessary... edition to my equipment."
Yusuke arched an eyebrow," What necessary edition?"
"A little item called the Maten Scripture."
"And you were unable to acquire this item yourself?" Kurama joined them on the floor
"No, I did have it. It unfortunately was stolen from me a while back."
"Stolen huh,"Yusuke said, "And I take it you expect -us- to go get it for you."
"Unfortunately I am a scientist, not a fighter. I have sent other fighters, but they have proved to be far too weak to take it from them."
"So you take fighters from another diemnsion? How did you know we were strong enough?" Kurama said.
"I didn't, I just relied on chance that the computer would chose correctly, but I needed four. So I mapped that into the computer and it for some reason picked you out as the best match."
Yusuke heard the man babbling, but wasn't paying attention. He couldn't help but wonder what was happening back in his own world. Was the demon they were fighting wreaking havoc on their home at this very moment? He didn't have time to humor the man.
"Sorry pal," He said looking at the doctor, "But we don't have time for this. We'll find our own way back."
"Oh...But I wish there was something that I could do to make you change your minds...," He said, taking a small metal object out of his pocket. The man made a scene of pushing the button. Kuwabara, who had not gotten completely off the platform, was surrounded with blue light.
"Kuwabara! Get the hell off that thing," Yusuke yelled to his friend, when he realized what was going on.
The human cried out in alarm and began running forward just as the device came to life. Yusuke sheilded his eyes from the bright light, he heard Kurama gasp next to him. He was't sure he wanted to look, but he did. It was just as he had feared, Kuwabara was no longer there.
"What the hell did you do, you freak!" He yelled at the doctor.
"Now now, your friend is perfectly fine. I just sent him somewhere... else."
Yusuke stalked over to him, cracking his knuckles, "You're starting to make me mad, pal..."
He held up his hands," Killing me wont help you, then you'll never know where your friend is."
The spirit detective growled at him, and took at step forward, feeling a sudden desire to punch the guy until he was black and blue. Kurama put an arm out in front of Yusuke, who stopped and blinked at his team mate. Kurama spoke to the doctor.
"And how do we know that you'll return him to us once we bring you what you ask?"
The man grinned," Once I have it I'll be happy to send all of you back to your own dimension."
Yusuke narrowed his eyes, "You had better, because if he gets hurt, then so do you."
Ni chuckled," I understand, if it comes to that then feel free to kill me."
/He's mocking us... that lousy sonofa.../ Yusuke thought heatedly.
"Where can we find the ones who have this scritpure?" Kurama asked.
"There's four of them, three demons and one human. I'm sure it wont be difficult to track them. They tend to stand out."
--------------------------------------------------------
Not too far away, a green jeep with four passangers, all male, drove down a seemingly endless mointain road.
"Hey, Hakkai how much longer to the next town? I'm starving," Goku whined from the backseat.
"You ate three hours ago, monkey. No one digests food that fast," Replied the red-head sitting next to him, a cigarett hanging from between his lips.
Hakkai smiled, "It will be at least three more hours, Goku."
The teen collapsed back into his seat dramaticaly, "Three hours? I'll die by then."
"Good, then we wont have to hear you whine."
"Shut-up, red-roach!"
In the front passanger seat Sanzo frowned, his headache was about to come back... again. He closed his eyes and leaned against the door, trying to block it out until a horrible feeling made him sit up, gripping the door handle.
/ What was that.../ He turned to look out at the thick trees, eyes searching. Another jolt of if caused him to jerk slightly, tensing.
Goku leaned forward as he noticed it," Hey... Sanzo, what's wrong?"
"Hm?" Goyjo blinked.
Hakkai glanced at him, "Do you sense something?"
He gripped so hard his knuckles turned white, a feeling entered his mind, one that he hadn't felt in a while. Fear. What could have possibly given him such a tinge of pure evil? Sanzo shivered, suddenly he wanted to get out of the open as quickly as possible. He looked up as if to find something floating next to the jeep. There was nothing there, but it still felt as if there should have been.
"We're being watched... ,"he whispered.
"Aren't we always,"Goyjo snorted.
Hakkai frowned, "Should I pull off the road?"
Sanzo took a deep breath, then pulled his calm demeanor back on," Keep going."
"...Alright, "Hakkai said.
---------------------------------------------
Around half a mile away the three-eyed fire demon stood near the edge of a cliff. He closed his jagan and proceeded to place the white headband back over it. He could have sworn that human had felt his presence. But that was impossible unless he had a third eye himself.
"Any luck, Hiei?" the fox spirit asked.
"Yes. Three demons and a human, traveling in the opposite derection as us. Only one of them had a demon energy level worth bothering with."
"Okay then, let's go say hi," Yusuke turned and began sliding down the less steeper side of the cliff. Kurama glanced at Hiei then jumped down the side. The fire demon remained for a moment. The human he'd felt had not been normal, but the feeling he got wasn't the same as what he got from Yusuke or Kuwabara.
"Hn," He shrugged it off and leaped down the cliff after his two team mates.
Yusuke ran in the direction Hiei had pointed out until Kurama motioned for them to stop.
"They're nearby. I can feel the energy of one of them."
Hiei nodded then ran along the side of the hill until they came to a dirt and gravel road. Kurama and Yusuke followed. They crouched down, sheilded by the thick brush. Yusuke waited until his ears picked up the sound of tires and the rumbling of a car engine. He dared to peer over the edge and look, but was pulled back by Kurama just as a green jeep came around the turn. He waited for the jeep to pass directly under them, then leaped down and onto the hood of the vehicle. Luckily it had come to an abrupt stop just before he landed. He saw Hiei and Kurama jump down onto the road on the other side of the jeep, but what he was focused most on was the silver revolver pointed directly at his head. Keeping his eyes on the gun, he stood up.
"I'm Yusuke Urameshi," He said with an oddly serious tone, "Mind if we talk?"
