INTRODUCTION- As the Sanzo Party continued their journey west they have been fighting attack after attack, almost nonstop. The group hasn't had that much sleep either. Until the attacks started to spread out.

Hakkai- *yawn* "Now isn't it quite."

Sanzo- "Shut up and don't jinx it."

In the back Gojyo and Goku were asleep in the back. Gojyo drooling and mumbling something about girls. Goku shivering and looking kind of pale.

Sanzo- "Time to get up we got company."

Demon- "We're going to kill you and get the scroll."

Gojyo- "Ya hear that they think they're going to kill us."

Goku- swaying a bit "Well I guess we're just going to have to kill them first."

Bang, bang, bang Sanzo was already shooting off his gun. ... As they were fighting Goku fell to the ground a number of times.

Gojyo- "Are these guess too strong for a monkey."

Goku- "SHUT UP you stupid water sprite! I'm just a little dizzy that's all."

When the fighting was over the sun was begging to set, and goku fell to the ground.

Goku- "Man that was tiring."

Hakkai- "Well I guess we better set up camp."

Gojyo- "I am not sleeping outside again without a pretty woman."

Hakkai- "Well I guess you won't sleep then."

When camp was done being set up hakkai made dinner.

Sanzo- "Hey, monkey you feeling alright. You're not eating."

Goku- "Ya I'm just tire." He mumbled.

Hakkai- "Well you can go to bed after you eat."

Goku looked down sheepishly, "But, I'm not hungry." Sanzo, Gojyo, and Hakkai all looked at each other worried. After Goku went to bed they all began to talk.

Sanzo- "So, what's wrong with the monkey." Eyeing Hakkai.

Hakkai- "I don't know. Do you think he's tired out from fighting."

Gojyo- "Well that's a possibility. He's just a kid."

This cycle continue for about three days. Each day Goku looking paler, but nobody notice.

The group continued riding along on the journey. Until, they were sitting there in the jeep. Goku could feel his stomach gurgling up to his throat, and a nasty taste entered his mouth. Luckily he swallowed it. But then he could feel a lot of it come up and he jumped out of the jeep and run for some bushes.

Hakkai almost immediately grabbed the emergency brake, "GOKU!"

Gojyo- "What the heck is that monkey doing!"

Sanzo- "I'm going to kill that monkey."

Then they heard puking noises as they raced over to Goku. When they saw him compassion filled their eyes, even Sanzo's.

Hakkai- "Goku are you ok?"

*puke*

Then Goku manage to say, "I don't feel well." Before puking again.

When Goku was done puking he stood up stumbling. And Hakkai walked him over to the jeep. With Goku stumbling all the way. When they got to the jeep Goku sat on the ground and leaned his head (which suddenly felt light) against the jeep with confusion.

What was wrong with him. " Sanzo" he weakly said.

Sanzo- "Ya"

"I'm sorry for slowing us down."

S- "Don't worry about it. Hey Hakkai how much longer until the next town."

H- "About a week if we left now."

S- sigh "Maybe we should set up camp."

H- "Good ideal." Hakkai said with a worried look glanced toward Goku, whom was falling asleep where he was. "Hey Gojyo," whom hadn't said a word since he saw Goku puking, "can you watch Goku"

Gojyo- "...Um... sure."

When Sanzo and Hakkai were done setting up camp Goku was already asleep. So Sanzo carried Goku into their tent and tucked him in. In morning after breakfast Goku was still asleep so Sanzo had Hakkai check up on him.

S- "How is he."

H- "He's running a fever."

S- sigh "Go wake him up and get him in the car."

So Hakkai went to wake Goku up. "Hey Goku time to get up." When Goku open his eyes it looked as though the room was spinning. So he tried to get up, but fell back down. When he finally got up he felt sick and darted outside to puke behind the tent. Hakkai and Sanzo shot a worried look at each other.
