The group had finally reached the forest home of the Snake demon. "Well, well. It is so nice to meet you Youkai, Monk," she said, her voice curling with venom. The group moved to make their attack but before they could attack Goku, Hakkai, and Goyjo collapsed. They had quicker then light, been attacked by the Snake Demon, each having a long, thin needle protrude from their necks.
"What the hell did you do to them!" yelled Sanzo, shooting at her.
"They are youkai, they have to die. I covered the needles in a paralyzing poison. First their legs will collapse unable to move and by nightfall their organs will stop functioning. I saved you; you are not a youkai. Monk, I will allow you to stay here with me."
"Bitch!" He lunged at her, attacking. One of his shots hit her in the arm.
"You dare go against me!" She screamed. "I was going to let you go, now you will DIE!" She pulled out a sword swinging it at Sanzo. The two of them danced in fury, managing small wounds to each other, but no win. Sanzo was tiring and knew the fight had to stop soon. Sanzo moved to try to get a good shot of the snake demon, but a misstep put him in the path of the snake demon's sword. The sword sliced deep into his side and across his stomach. He stumbled back, but managed to get a shot in at snake demon at the same time. Caught by surprise the shot hit its target and she fell back dying.
Sanzo coughed, spitting up blood. He looked over at his comrades on the floor not moving. Clutching his wound he made his way over to them. He saw their eyes move watching him, but their bodies were unable to move. Sanzo knew that he had to get them back to the village soon or they would loose their lives. He also knew that with his blood lose, if he did not get help soon, he would also be dead.
Sanzo grabbed Goyjo first, dragging him to jeep. Goyjo was followed by Hakkai and Goku. With the front to himself Sanzo sat down to drive back to the town. He was tired and his vision was blurry from blood loss. He wanted to sleep but he forced his eyes to stay open.
Although the ride back to the town was quick it seemed to Sanzo as if it were an eternity. He finally reached the medical center of the village. Outside of it stood an assistant. "Quick," said Sanzo, "I need assistance, my friends have been poisoned with a paralyzing substance and unless you have an antidote they will die." Sanzo tried to step out of the jeep, but his legs had no strength and he collapsed.
"Are you alright?" cried the assistant running over. On his way he noticed a pool of blood on the seat where Sanzo had been sitting. He then saw Sanzo clearly, noticing that the side of his robes was cut and stained red with blood.
Sanzo saw the assistant come running and then saw nothing. His final thought before passing out was his disappointment that he had to have others help him again.
"Quick I need assistance!" yelled the assistant. He rushed over to Sanzo. "Mister, mister?" he asked, to Sanzo. He felt Sanzo's pulse, which was weak but at least steady. The other assistant arrived. "Get the others inside, they have been poisoned with a paralyzing agent and urgently need an antidote. I also need a stretcher for the monk he is severely injured."
