Chapter One

Sanzo looks up at the sky which has been bleached a sharp pale blue by the intense sun. It had gone from a soft azure at dawn to almost total whiteout by noon. It was a completely cloudless day and apart from the occasional dried up shrub, there's nothing on the horizon as far as the eye could see, except for the jagged black mountain tops in the far distance. I looked as if the whole thing could be painted by three year old with very limited art supplies. The black mountain range, the white sky, the deep ochre red of the endless sand... and that was about it. Sanzo turned his head back toward the opposite direction that they were travelling and squinted his eyes painfully at the sun and to check on their progress. Sure enough, there was still nothing to be seen except the long trail of dust they had left in their wake; they had lost sight of their last village about five hours ago.

Sanzo crossed his arms. It was hard enough to stay awake as it was but Goku was now snoring loudly in the back seat and no one in the jeep had enough energy to stop him. The rhythmic sound was slowly putting him to sleep but Sanzo refused to let his sleeping patterns be effected by the sun or a certain annoying monkey. Hakkai was concentrating on his driving with both hands on the steering wheel, clearly finding it difficult to keep his eyes open; his spectacle flashed in the sun as he checked their bearings. Gojyo was almost lying down in the back, with his head leaning back over the edge of the jeep and a cigarette in his mouth that would occasionally drop ash on onto the sand behind him. His eyes were open but it was hard to say whether he was thinking or just unconscious. Goku had his mouth wide open, drooling, and fingers clenched habitually around his noi-bo, and Sanzo was sitting as usual with his hands in his sleeves of his Sanzo suit, as Gojyo officially dubbed it, while staring grimly at nothing in particular. This silence lasted a couple of minutes before...

"Sanzo" whined Goku. "I'm hungry"

"What do you want me to do about it?" asked Sanzo, clearly aggravated.

"I don't know. I'm just sooooo hungry. I haven't eaten since breakfast"

"That was two hours ago you bottomless pit. You had the meat buns we bought at the market"

"Yeah, well. I'm still hungry."

An angry mark appeared on Sanzo's forehead. He was explosive but was trying not to blow up because it would waste too much energy.

"Now that you mention it Goku, I could really do with some sake too, but unfortunately we forgot to stock up at our last pit-stop" noted Hakkai.

"As long as we're having a bitching session, I would like to point out that I am REALLY bored (the rest of us can define this as Gojyo not being laid)" groaned Gojyo. "I could do with some chick action, not to mention the sake"

"Eww, you pervy water sprite" cried Goku. "That's disgusting!"

"Yeah, well why don't you get a life instead of wasting mine?" yelled Gojyo back

4

"You don't have a life you dirty cockroach!"

3

"Where did you get cockroach from stupid monkey?!"

2

"Well, you've got antennae"

1

"They are not antennae, and don't bag the hair. The ladies love it!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU LITTLE SHITS IF YOU WANT TO LIVE." Sanzo finally explodes (We all know it couldn't last long.) and lets out a couple of rounds from his banishing gun towards Goku and Gojyo who temporarily forget their argument to dodge the bullets. Big mistake. As Goku and Gojyo both leant to the left of the jeep with all their weight, Poor Hakuryu's ability to keep himself stable was stretched to the limit. The whole car was tilted on two wheels and for a moment, everyone was frigidly still with their eyes wide open.

Then suddenly,

...Whoosh...

A plastic chip packet which was floating on the breeze, fluttered down towards them. Goku saw it and could imagine what was going to happen but was unable to do much. (they were still balanced dangerously on two wheels remember!) Goku tried to blow the packet away while moving as little as possible, puffing his lungs as hard as he could but it was pointless because it still drifted regardless of the Sanzo's party's silent pleas until it hovered about one millimetre away from Hakuryu. Both Hakkai and Gojyo had now joined Goku, frantically trying to blow it away as well.\, but it was too late. A tiny foil corner clips Hakuryu's side.

CRASH!!! Hakuryu reverted back to his dragon shape and fainted from exhaustion after collapsing on his side with a gathered thud, spilling out his passengers in a heap beside him with much the same grace.

"Fuck" says Gojyo while spitting out a mouthful of sand.

It seemed to sum up their situation perfectly.
