Chapter One
"I'm hungry. How much farther is it to the next town?" Goku whined from the back of the Jeep.
Gojyo sighed and smacked Goku across the head. "Don't you ever think about anything besides food?"
Goku clutched his head and hissed at Gojyo, "Don't you ever think about anything besides woman and cigarettes you stupid kappa?"
"Damn monkey!"
"You pevy water sprite!"
There was a tussle at the back of the Jeep and Hakkai, up in front, just smiled well naturally while Sanzo closed his eyes in anger.
There was a click of a gun. "Shut up or die!" Sanzo yelled.
Goku and Gojyo quieted down but not before Gojyo snuck another hit on Goku.
Goku glared at him and was about to spit some insults at him when he noticed Sanzo's pulsing vein. He kept his mouth shut and Gojyo smirked at his victory. Goku flipped him off before turning away and looking at the scenery flash by.
It was quiet and peaceful for a while but it didn't last long. Goku's stomach grumbled and he opened his mouth to ask again about how far the town was but Hakkai answered knowing exactly what the monkey was going to ask.
"We're almost there, Goku. Just hold on for another little while. We should be able to see the town any minute now," Hakkai said calmly with a smile on his face.
Content, Goku sat back down and started to stare off in the distance with his golden eyes hoping to spot the town.
Suddenly he saw it and jumped up in the car pointing, "There it is! I see it!"
Wham!
"Sit down you damn monkey!" Sanzo scowled with his paper fan in hand. Goku clutched at his head but didn't argue and sat back down.
Gojyo laughed but was quickly silenced by one of Sanzo's death glares.
"You're next, kappa," Sanzo said in a deadly tone. Sanzo turned away from them and slipped the paper fan back up his robe's sleeve.
Gojyo grumbled something about 'corrupted monk' but shut up when he saw Sanzo starting to slip the paper fan back out.
Hakkai just smiled and said, "Well isn't this turning out to be just a normal day."

"Wow! Look at all the food!" Goku said happily. He started running from stand to stand.
"Goku, don't go too far," Hakkai called out. He frowned as Goku disappeared from view.
Gojyo took a drag from his cigarette before throwing it down in the dirt and stomping it out. He looked at Hakkai, amused, and said, "Chill Hakkai. Goku isn't a little kid. He knows how to take care of himself."
Hakkai didn't look convinced. To him, Goku was still just a little kid but he followed Gojyo's lead back to the inn.
Gojyo draped an arm across Hakkai's shoulder and said cheerfully, "Don't worry. Goku'll come back once he gets hungry. He knows the way back."
Hakkai nodded and then he said, "Sanzo might not be too happy about this though."
Gojyo's eyes opened wide in realization, "Shit! I didn't think about Sanzo. We're dead."
Hakkai just laughed and tried to reassure his friend, "I don't think it'll be that bad. I'm sure Sanzo will be angry but not enough to kill us."
Gojyo relaxed and then he chuckled, "Yeah. I think Sanzo will be madder at the monkey than us."
"Come on, let's go," Hakkai urged. "Hakuryuu must be starving."
'Yeah," Gojyo agreed.

A female stood leaning against a wall examining all the young men that walked by her.
She shook her head. I'm not getting any younger. Maybe I should just move on to another town. She was about to turn in for the day, it was about 6 in the afternoon, when she saw him.
She gazed in absolute admiration at the young boy that was bouncing form stand to stand. He was small but she didn't care about that. All she cared about was that he looked so naïve. He'd be such easy prey and he was so cute.
Cera licked her lips and straitened up. She smoothed back her dark brown hair and started walking towards the boy. She was just behind him when the boy sensed someone behind him. The boy turned around and looked up at her.
She stared, mesmerized at his wide, golden eyes. Up close he looked even younger. Cera was pretty sure she was double the boy's age but she didn't care. She hadn't had a warm body with her for a week and she needed a release. So she forced a warm smile on her face and began to gain the boy's trust.
"Hello," she cooed. "What's a handsome boy like you doing out here all alone?"
The boy was so innocent and trusting that he didn't suspect anything form Cera. He just thought of her as a nice woman. "I'm looking at food," he answered honestly.
Cera crossed her hands over her chest and pretended to frown in concern, "Are you hungry?"
The boy smiled widely and rubbed his stomach, "Starving."
Cera smiled again and couldn't help but notice how cute he was. Yes, he's perfect, now to reel him in for the catch.
"Well I have money. What if I bought you something to eat? I know a great place not far from here."
The boy brightened up. "Really?" he asked.
Cera nodded and started to beckon him over. The boy followed without protest. As Cera took him to her special bar, he started talking.
"I'm Goku. What's your name?"
"Uh, my name's Cera."
Goku smiled and said, "Well, Cera, you're very nice. I can't believe you're going to buy me food for free."
Cera smirked to herself. Not exactly for free, Goku. You're going to pay me back… with interest.
"Yeah," she offered. Just then she spotted the bar. "There it is, Goku."
He looked at it and frowned. He looked back at Cera with his expressive golden eyes. "Are you sure they sell food. It looks like a bar to me."
Cera nodded, "Yes. They sell food and drinks. Come on."
They both entered together and Goku looked around with curiosity. He let himself be pushed to a table far off in the corner by Cera.
They sat down and then Cera asked him, "So what do you want to eat, honey?"
Goku knew he shouldn't take advantage of the woman who was trying to help him so he didn't order as much as he usually would. Still, it was a lot for just one boy.
Cera stared in amazement as the boy inhaled the food in front of him. The waiter brought two beers and set them next to her. She smiled at the beer and then sat back to wait patiently for the boy to finish eating.
Goku leaned back in his seat and sighed in pleasure. He looked at his new friend and smiled at her. "Thanks for the food but I think I should start heading back." Goku started to get up but Cera laid her hand on his arm and held him in place.
She gave Goku a hurt look, "Aren't you going to stay with me for a drink?"
Goku didn't really like to drink. He'd tried it once and it hadn't made him feel great. Still, he couldn't say no. The woman had bought him food.
If I say no, then I'll hurt her feelings. So against his better judgment, Goku took the beer and took a swing from it. He forced himself to swallow it. The beer had an odd smell but Goku didn't pay much attention to it.
Cera smiled coyly as she took a small sip of her beer. The boy wasn't used to drinking, she could tell. Not only would she get him drugged, but he'd also be drunk. Both the drug and the drinks together should make this fast.
Sure enough, a couple of minutes later Goku was starting to sway from his seat. Cera plastered a concerned smile, "Goku, honey, are you okay?"
The boy looked at her with confused eyes. "I'm not feeling that great," he slurred.
Cera hid her grin as she stood up and started to help Goku up. "Come on. You're in no shape to be off in the dark by yourself. I'll take you to my room here. This bar has an inn and it just so happens I'm checked in. Here, let me help you up the stairs." Cera held Goku up from the arm as he struggled up the stairs. She looked over at him and was happy to notice he didn't know what she was talking about.
She opened the door to her small room and guided the small form in her arms to her bed. She set the boy gently down on the bed. The boy's head swung back and forth and his arms and legs moved in confusion.
"Shh," Cera soothed gently. "I won't hurt you." Her hands moved to his shirt and she took it off. She touched his tanned chest and hissed in enjoyment. The boy was well built. She positioned herself on top of the boy, straddling him by the hips. She dipped her head and started to kiss him lightly along his chest and up to his neck until she finally reached his lips.
Goku groaned in protest. He didn't know what was happening. Everything was fuzzy and he couldn't see anything. The last thing he saw before closing his eyes was Cera's face.

"Damn monkey!" Sanzo grumbled as he lighted a cigarette. He looked icily at Gojyo, "This is your fault. Go look for him."
Gojyo started to protest. "What? Why me? It's not my fault the stupid monkey has a stomach for a brain."
Sanzo didn't even bother to respond to that and Gojyo sighed. "Fine, I'll go look for him."
Hakkai frowned, "Its strange how Goku isn't back. Perhaps something happened to him. You'd better hurry Gojyo."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," he mumbled.
Gojyo stepped out of the room and started to walk down the stairs heading outside. Gojyo looked up at the sky and then at the setting sun.
Idiot money.
Gojyo started to walk towards the last place Goku had been and started to head that way. He asked around if any of the venders had seen a small, golden eyed boy. Most of them pointed strait ahead so Gojyo grudgingly followed. Finally he came to a pretty bad side of town. He walked towards a vender again.
"Hey, uh, have you seen a small boy. He's about this high, with short brown hair, and golden eyes."
The vender rubbed his chin and answered, "Well now that you mention it, I did see a boy that fits that description. He kept looking at the food and then a female came and started to talk to him."
Gojyo's head snapped up, "What?"
The vender continued, "That woman said something and the kid brightened up and followed her. You know, just between you and me, I've seen the woman before. She's always lurking around these parts looking for young boys. I felt sorry for the young boy. Who knows what she told the boy but he followed willingly."
Gojyo wasn't even listening anymore. Damn you Goku. Knowing you, she probably told you she'd buy you food and you just followed her. I gotta find you and quick.
"How long ago was that?"
The vender thought for a moment, "About half an hour ago. They headed that way."
Gojyo said a quick thank you before starting to run down the way the man had pointed at. He looked around and started to think out loud. "Now, where are you, bitch?"
Almost at the edge of town, there was a small bar/inn.
That looks suspicious. Gojyo ran towards it and yanked the door open. He surveyed the room ignoring the strange stares people were giving him. There was no sign of Goku. Gojyo cursed and hurried over to the bartender.
"Hey, have you seen a small boy with an older woman?" Gojyo asked urgently.
The bartender grinned, "You talking about Cera? Sure. She just went up to her room a couple of minutes ago. Had herself a real young fellow with her too."
"Tell me what room," Gojyo demanded in a dark tone.
The guy must have gotten scared because he told Gojyo without hesitating. Gojyo ran up the stairs and franticly looked for the room. He found it and didn't even bother to knock. He kicked it open and his face turned pale at the scene in front of him.
The whore, Cera was on top of Goku who looked like he was sleeping. He didn't have a shirt on but luckily he still had his pants.
Cera gave him a pissed off look and started to yell, "What the hell is your problem?"
Gojyo ran towards the bed and pushed the talking whore off of Goku. He examined Goku and saw him unharmed. He gave a fierce glare at the woman on the ground. "You bitch! What the hell did you do to him?"
Now the woman was scared. "Who are you?"
"I'm this kid's older brother bitch."
Cera paled and started to retreat against the wall.
Gojyo's attention returned to Goku. He gently picked him up and started to walk towards the door. He cast the whore one last look and said, "You dirty, coldhearted monster, fucking tart. If I ever see you again, I'll kill you. That's a promise." Gojyo didn't wait for a response from her as he headed out the door.
He walked out the bar with Goku firmly in his arms. He gave the kid a worried look before saying, "You stupid, stupid monkey."
