Sanzo Genjyo set up his hamuck against the two trees in the back of the local shrine he owned. If anyone asked it was his 'praying ground'. Next to it, he put a small blue table which was a bargain from Ikea the Swedish furniture store. He put a glass of cold lemonade (home-made) and a porn magazine on the table. Sanzo went on the hamuck, put some sunglasses on and stared at the clouds passing by. No one was here to disturb him.

Within minutes Sanzo fell into a deep sleep and began having the weirdest dream ever. So weird it seemed realisic.


Cho Hakkai was in his garage playing an acoustic guitar. He was practising for his big show for the little kids in Pre-School. His songs were all nursey rythmes.

"I am a little tea-pot. Short and stoat. Here's my handle and here's my spout," Hakkai sang along with his guitar.

Sha Gojyo, opened Hakkai's garage door and started laughing. Gojyo was laughing so hard that he started coughing. Now, that is why you don't smoke.

"Hakkai! What the hell are you singing?" he said as he walked in.

Hakkai put his guitar down and smiled at Gojyo "I was practising my songs which I will sing for the kids at the local pre-school I used to work in."

"Man! Hakkai, Hakkai! You are a great guitar player and singer, you should not waste your talents on little kiddies at a pre-school!" Gojyo told him.

"But it makes the kids happy," Hakkai said with his smile fading.

"Hey! Why don't we start a band? I can sing, you can do guitar!" Gojyo began.

"Gojyo, who will do the drums and play the bass guitar?" Hakkai asked confused.

Gojyo smiled "Leave that to me, Hakkai!"


Within an hour, Sanzo and Son Goku came. Only Sanzo knew why he was there. Goku thought Hakkai met a desperate woman who baked lots of cakes and cookies.

"WHERE'S THE FOOD!" Goku yelled as he came in.

"I think there are some food in my fridge over there, Goku."

Goku rushed over to the fridge and started stuffing his face with food. They all looked at him like he was some kind of animal. Then he is the monkey king!

"Hakkai! When is your girlfriend who bakes alot coming?" Goku asked.

Hakkai points to himself "I don't have a girlfriend... the now..."

Hakkai turns round to look at a whistling Gojyo and a straight face Sanzo with his bass guitar in this big black bag.

"Are we gonna be a band or not!" Sanzo threatened.

"You wanna be in the band?" Hakkai asked shocked.

"Yep, that Minister in British Pop Idol thinks he is so great since he is famous. Well, I wanna be famous the right way and Gojyo wouldn't stop pestering me and he wouldn't give me my gun back if I never joined... That and it gets me outta that dam shrine!"

"We are gonna be in a band? Aw... I don't wanna be in a band!" Goku moaned.

Gojyo rushed over to Goku and threatened him "JOIN THE BAND DAM IT!"

"No!"

Sanzo got his gun out "I was forced to join! Now you must join!"

"I don't wanna!"

"Goku... think! With all the money we will get, you can buy all the food you want," Hakkai bribed.

"I'm in! Can I play the drums?"

They all looked at eachother and turned to smile at Goku.

"YES!" They cheered.


So they were now officially a rock band. Sanzo was playing bass guitar, Hakkai was on electric guitar, Goku was on drums and Gojyo was the lead singer. They randomly called their band 'Saiyuki' and their first song was called 'To the West.'

"Everything is in chaos,
Heaven and Earth are one,
The demons and humans are living as one,
Till fate messed it up
," Gojyo sang.

Then Hakuryu, Hakkai's dragon pulled the plugs on the power amps. Everyone stopped playing their instruments. Gojyo was still singing though.

"Don't stop us,
Off to the West we go!
Off to the
..."

Gojyo stopped singing and Hakkai went over to the Garage door and opened it up and there standing was Kanzeon Bosatsu. In this, she ain't a Goddess but a Music Business Manager. She was wearing a suit and a mini skirt. Gojyo dropped his microphone at the sight of her.

"Wow! I haven't heard such great talent since Gackt or Morning Musume. What is your band called?" she asked with her left hand on her waist.

"We are Saiyuki!" Gojyo exclaimed.

Kanzeon smiled "Saiyuki... Saiyuki... Sounds really catchy. You have good looks, a great guitarist and really good songs which I could hear on my car radio."

"Where you going with this?" Sanzo asked getting grumpy.

"Ooh... This one has rock star attitude! You also have your own style just looking at your clothes. You could really be successful. Here is my card." Kanzeon gets a card outta no where and gives it Hakkai. "Call me if you are interested."

She walked out the garage. The 4 blokes just stood there looking at the call card. They seemed speechless and Goku was seemed not to be hungery at all.

"We are deafintally gonna call her! She is hot and she is offering us a deal! Most bands have to wait years and years till they get a deal! Come on! We rock! Like she said!" Gojyo said.

"Beats staying at the shrine. I agree with the Kappa!" Sanzo said with his arms folded.

"FOOD! Just think of all the food we can eat. Lobster! Shrimp! Tropical Banana Split! EXPENSIVE SUSHI!" Goku cheered.

"Oh well! The pre-schools weren't paying me very much so... I am in too!" Hakkai smiled.

So Sanzo and co have started a rock band and have been offered the chance of a life time. What adventures will hold them now they are rockers. Lets sit back and watch our rockers develope...

To Be Continued...


Washu Says:

Like in the Saiyuki novels I will say a wee message just like Kazuya Minekura does (She created Saiyuki) Well, this is my very first Saiyuki fanfic (I write 100's of Shaman King fics) and I thought Sanzo and crew would be funny as a Rock band. I can imagine them fighting backstage. Haha! I really hope you all like this...
