Okay, here we go. I do not own Saiyuki or any of the characters in it. PLEASE R&R!

A/N: This is my first Saiyuki story. I'm reasonably sure of what I'm talking about.j/k

Chapter 1: An Interesting Group

It was just another normal day for the Sanzo party as they drove through a small mountain area. It was morning and everything seemed to be calm and relaxed. So quiet. So...peaceful.

"KAPPA! MOVE OVER! YOU'RE ON MY SIDE!"

Unless you're one of the one's in the jeep.

"NO WAY, YOU'RE ON MY SIDE! YOU MOVE!"

"IT'S KINDA HARD TO MOVE WITH YOU CROWDING ME!"

"WELL I WOULDN'T BE CROWDING YOU IF I WASN'T CROWDED MYSELF!"

The group had just left a town that just recently ended its annual festival. Hakkai did some forward thinking and what free food he got, he saved. Let's just say he got more than enough...for Goku's sake. Three reasonably large boxes were crammed in the back seat, and Goku and Goyjo were most uncomfortable.

"Are you sure this much food was really necessary?" Sanzo asked, trying to ignore the bickering in the back.

"When it comes to Goku, you can never be too careful," replied Hakkai with a cheerful smile.

Sanzo just hated this day after day.

"WELL IF YOU DIDN'T EAT SO MUCH WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS MUCH TROUBLE!"

"GIVE ME A BREAK! I WAS LOCKED UP FOR 500 YEARS!"

Hakkai suddenly hit a bump and almost fell out of his seat, while Goyjo flew to the side into Goku.

"OW! GET OFF OF ME KAPPA!" Goku violently shoved Goyjo away from him.

Goyjo was annoyed.

"BELIEVE ME YOU STUPID MONKEY! THE ONLY TIME I WANT TO BE THAT CLOSE TO YOU IS IF I'M STRANGLING YOU!"

"WELL YOU'RE NO BETTER, JERKOFF!"

"SHUTUP SARU!"

"KAPPA!"

"SARU!"

"KAPPA!"

"SARU!"

"KAP-,"

WHAP! WHAP!

"How about the both of you shut up!" Sanzo sat back down and put away his fan while Goyjo and Goku held their aching heads.

"Why you-," Goyjo leaned forward so that his face was right next to Sanzo's.

"How many times are you gonna hit me with that stupid thing?!"

"As many times as it takes,"

"Takes for what?!"

Sanzo was about to say something when suddenly a high-pitched scream broke the air.

"What was that?" Hakkai asked.

"Sounded like a girl," Goyjo said.

"Figures you'd know," Goku said below his breath. Goyjo still heard him though and gave him a nice elbow in the head.

"OW! What was that for?!"

"Try and guess. Just don't strain your little monkey brain doing so,"

"Why you!"

"Knock it off and let's go," Sanzo said.

They were just about to continue when a young girl, about Goku's age, with black hair in a bun with a long braid hanging from it, jumped up and over a rock followed by a flying...cat? It was a black cat with red eyes and black- feathered wings.

The girl and her 'cat' were being chased by another girl with blue hair put up in a bun with some of her hair sticking up. This girl was older.

"Run Jinx, before she catches you!" the smaller girl shouted. Jinx was apparently the name of her flying cat.

"You little brat! Get back here!" after closer inspection, the guys realized that the older girl was soaking wet with steaming water. This girl was very aggravated but the younger one seemed to be having a hoot.

Two people walked up just then. A tall man in a long black coat with spiky amber hair and deep blue eyes that reminded them of an ocean. Behind was another girl. This girl seemed to be about Sanzo's age but had no expression on her face. She had black hair also and wore a black dress with interesting decorations.

Then on top of the rock out of nowhere landed a boy. He had spiky black hair and looked much like the girl who was being chased.

All of them seemed to watching the girls but only the boys were amused.

"Op! Too slow!" the tall girl had almost caught the younger one but tripped and fell when the girl jumped.

"Mei Lin!" The tall man shouted. The little girl stopped and turned to him. "Enough, we have to go! The others will be expecting us," the girl, Mei Lin sighed and walked slowly. "Oh, all right," she said, undoubtedly upset. The tall girl rose up behind her and Mei Lin froze.

"Where are you going?" she asked in an agitated voice. Mei Lin quickly zoomed over to the tall man and hid behind him. "She's threatening me!"

"With every reason, I'm sure," the man said.

"That's right. Now what say we go before you embarrass me even more," the black haired girl said as she turned and started to walk.

"Embarrass you? How did I embarrass you?" Mei Lin asked.

The older one said nothing, just stopped and pointed. Pointed...right at the Sanzo group. Goyjo and Goku seemed to sink back in their seats, Sanzo didn't say nor do anything, and Hakkai just smiled and waved.

Okay, that was the first chapter, meant simply to introduce the characters I have added. The second chapter will be much longer.
