AUTHOR NOTES: HELLO THERE! In celebration of 'Saiyuki Blast' anime that will be airing in Japan this coming July, as a long time fan of the series, I dedicate this chapter to all fans out there.
About this story; I have been wanting to write a good SanzoxOC fic for a really long time. Obviously because I am a Sanzo fangirl (hahaha), and I think it would be very interesting to see our Monk be interested in someone else.
There might be OOC moments later on, but I am doing my best based on the many anime episodes I have watched to make sure the boys stayed in characters. Please feel free to point out my mistakes if it gets too OOC. No flames please!
Disclaimers: I owe nothing except the plot of this fic. All credits goes to Kazuya Minekura.
Synopsis: When the guys meet with a young interesting female yōkai taijiya, everything changes.A SanzoxOC fic.
Chapter 1: A Fated Encounter...Or Not.
"HARAHETA!" Son Goku whined for the tenth times that morning, hands spread in the air, for the entire world to hear his stomach growling loudly. "Hakkai, Are we still not there yet?"
"We're getting close to a nearby town. Please try your best to hold on, Goku," Cho Hakkai said cheerfully while remained vigilant on the greenery yet deserted road ahead.
It was yet another boring day as they heading to West. Hakkai, being the driver and the peacemaker in the group, had no complains that they haven't spotted any Yōkais for two days now since they'd left the previous town.
It was a rare blessing which did not come too often for them. Considering they were constantly being chased by Yōkais at every given turn. Nevertheless, Hakkai counted it a blessing anyway. Though he had to wonder why since it was making his two young companions restless without having something to vent on.
Sitting beside him on the passenger's seat, the high-Priest, Genjyo Sanzo, had his eyes closed. Hakkai had to wonder if the man had actually fallen asleep (which he sometimes does), or if he was deep in his own thoughts. Hakkai was about to call him when suddenly, something caught his eyes that made him pressed the brake pedal all the sudden, causing everyone to jerk and nearly fell off from their seats.
"Oi, Hakkai! Next time you wanna do a drift, at least think about me who's sitting at the back and nearly got thrown off!" Sha Gojyo yelled, rubbing his aching neck.
"You're not the only one who'd nearly got thrown away, ero-kappa!"
"My apologies, everyone. But it seems, we have companions." True enough, a group of Yōkais emerged from the clearance.
"Genjyo Sanzo! Hand over the scripture or die!"
"They honestly do not have anything new to say, huh?" Goku grinned, stretching his arms before summoning the Nyoi-Bo. In a fluid motion, he swung his weapon and landed a perfect mark on the incoming Yōkai.
It didn't take them very long to deal with those low-lives Yōkais who honestly really thought they had a chance against the Sanzo ikkou.
"Baaka! You guys should have already know better than to mess with us!" Goku scoffed mockingly. "On another note, my hunger is increasing rapidly… Sanzo, you sure you're not secretly hiding any crackers inside those long sleeves robe you're wearing?"
"Shut up, monkey!" Sanzo unleashed his rage by hitting Goku's head with his infamous harrisen.
"Is something the matter, Gojyo?" Hakkai asked, after noticing how the antenna on Gojyo's head twitched several times during their fight.
"Something… A scent, probably. No, wait! It's a woman's scent, and it's coming from that direction!" He pointed one finger toward the Northward. Before any of his comrades could say anything, Gojyo was all but running toward the source of the giggling sound.
"My, my. I've never seen anything that could make him moves as fast as that except for maybe, chasing after girls. Shall we go and make sure he won't get into any trouble before we reach the nearby town?"
"How troublesome," Sanzo clenched his teeth. He lit a piece of cigarette on his mouth and exhaled deeply. "Oi, Goku. Fetch that pervy water-sprite and drag his ass back here. Now."
"Roger that!"
IT didn't take Goku long to track down Gojyo because as soon as he arrived at the scenes, he witnessed something horribly interesting: Gojyo got his butt kicked by a mere human female.
Soft brown eyes glared dangerously at the male Yōkai lying on the ground with a dumbfounded look on his face at what just happened. He had come out of nowhere and wasting no time flirting with her just as she finished dealing with a bunch of troublesome Yōkais.
"Honestly. Can't a girl catches her breath after defeating troublesome Yōkais one after another?"
Her voice was soft for the ears, Gojyo noticed as soon as he got up to his feet, brushing away any specks of dirt on his pants. There was still that flirtatious glee in his eyes, but more subtle than before.
"You're fast. I didn't even get to say my famous punchline before I realised, I was already laying on the ground."
"That was awesome! You'd totally kicked Gojyo's butt!" Goku approached them. "Ne, oneesan, what's your name? Where do you come from? Did you come from the nearby town?"
"Stupid monkey! You're making her feel uncomfortable with your direct questions, can't you see?"
"Um…"
"Maybe she's feeling uncomfortable around you because you tried to do bad and horrible things to her!"
"Um, excuse me?"
"Whaddaya say? You wanna a piece of me, you stupid brat?!"
"In your dreams! You got your butt kicked by a girl, that means you're weaker than me!"
"EXCUSE ME!" Both of the men stopped their verbal argument and turned to look at the young woman who just yelled at them.
Early in her twenties, average height, with long dark hair tied in a high ponytail, the woman wore pink eyes shadows and an unusual outfit that made her stood up from the rest; a black skin-tight jumpsuit with a kanji word for 'loyalty', written on her right shoulder, red armour plates and a pink sash wrapped around her waist for decoration.
The young woman standing before them was no doubt, a hot babe, in Gojyo's eyes.
She cleared her throat to end the awkward silence. "Judging by the way you behaved, clearly, you are unlike the rest of those Yōkais I'd encountered in the past. Who are you, people?" She eyed the two troublesome Yōkais closely.
"I believe that brat had asked you the question first."
"Sanzo!" Goku looked at him and smiled in glee.
"You were taking your time fetching Gojyo, we both wondered what bad might happen to you both. At least I was." Hakkai smiled.
"Sanzo, you'd never guess what happened! Gojyo got his butt-"
"Shut up, monkey!" Like I want to know what that pervy water sprite did-"
"-kicked by a girl!"
All the sudden, there was a complete silence.
"...Oi, monkey. Did you just say, Gojyo got his butt kicked by a girl?
"Right on the spot!"
A light chuckling from Hakkai was the last draw of insult which Gojyo could no longer take.
"Alright, fine! So I got my arse handed over to me by a girl. So what? She's a babe, anyway. I'll gladly let her kick me again, in bed." A smug appeared on his handsomely face.
"I think that will have to wait, Gojyo." Hakkai tapped a finger on his shoulder and pointed at the now empty spot which the young woman had been a while ago.
"Where did she go?"
Sighed tiredly, Sanzo said with a demanding voice, "Let's go."
"But wait, where had she gone off to-"
Bullets suddenly fired wildly at the water sprite pervert within millimetres away from hitting him.
"NOW!"
Soo, who is this mysterious babe Gojyo has set his eyes on? Find out more on the next chapter!
