Chapter 1: Saved by an Angel

"Che! Homura, you are here to play with us again, huh?" Sanzo snarled. "Humph, Konzen, we are just coming for our bit of fair play, it` getting boring you know," Homura replied snidely. "Che," Sanzo hissed under his breath.

"Homura, your opponent is me! I`m determined to beat you up today. You are strong, but I`m DETERMINED, after all you made me lose my dinner!" Son Goku shouted. "Stupid monkey, is that all you can think about," Gojou asked. Homura looked surprised, then smiled. "Come on then, what are you waiting for Son Goku." Goku speeded towards Homura, and ..punched air, for Homura was no longer there. Instead, he reappeared behind Goku, and whispered "Be strong, Goku" before slamming his fist into Goku. Goku doubled over and fell to the ground

"Goku!" Hakkai shouted. He made a move, wanting to run over to Goku, but Zeon blocked his way, with his machine gun. "We are your opponents now!" "Homura has always wanted this fight.We shouldn`t disturb him while he`s so happy now, " drawled Shien. "Aah, they are looking down on us aren`t they?" Gojou drawled back. "And it makes me wanna puke!!" He swinged his weapon at Zeon, but Zeon managed to avoid it. Hakkai followed up, and four of them were fighting nonstop.

"This is so irritating, " Sanzo said to himself. "But I really must see what that monkey is up to." For Goku had been beaten up badly by Homura. He started towards them.

"Konzen, coming to play with me?" Homura smiled wickedly. "Look what I`ve done to Son Goku, don`t you feel bad?" "His business is none of mine. I only came to seek my own revenge for last time," Sanzo answered carelessly. "Is that so? Don`t try to challenge me, Sanzo, for I`m a god, and I know your past. Why, I`ve seen you licking the shoes of your 'master' Koumyou Sanzo," Homura said. Sanzo balled his hands into fists by the side. "Come and fight me with strength Sanzo, show me what you can really do," Homura half-whispered.

At the other side, Gojou and Zeon paused temporarily, looking at them. "Sanzo`s mad, Homura will get what he wanted," commented Gojou, while nearly getting hit by a shot from Zeon. "Finally we can see this monk act, huh?" said Zeon, giving an extra nasty blast.

But Sanzo had other ideas. "Look at your eyes, you have a golden one and a blue one. This means you`re half human. Did Kami-sama banish you here or something," he said. This time, Homura got really angry, for Sanzo had hit his weak point. "Do you want to die?" Homura said softly. "With your abilities, I surely won`t!" Sanzo answered back.

"Then I'll fulfill your wish!" Homura speeded towards Sanzo, and gave him a hard punch in the stomach. Sanzo fell back several feet with the impact. But Homura wasn't done yet. "You wanted this so much, so enjoy it while you can!" He grabbed Sanzo by the hair and started punching him mercilessly. Sanzo, the ever-calm Sanzo couldn't defend himself at all.

Finally Sanzo managed to untangle himself and grabbed his shoureijuu (spirit gun) and took a few shots. Of course, Homura was ready for that, and being a god, wasn`t affected by it. "Is that all you can do, Sanzo?" he said. "Son of a bitch!" Sanzo cursed. Homura, angry again sped towards Sanzo and b eat him up, but Sanzo didn`t stop his curses at Homura. "Half bred human, stupid god, no wonder He banished you...." and so forth.

Now Homura reached his boiling point and stood up momentarily. Sanzo fell to the ground, extremely weak. Hakkai and Gojou looked on in horror while defending themselves from Shieon and Zeon. "That namagusa bouzu (corrupt monk) is gonna die," said Gojou. "Sanzo!" Hakkai called in horror.

Homura had collected a huge ball of 'ki' and with a wicked glint in his eye, sent the ball flying. The next moment, the whole place exploded into flames. "SANZO!" Hakkai and Gojou stared.

Slowly, the smoke cleared. In the mist, they could see three silhouettes. Three?! "What the hell?" Gojou exclaimed.

The smoke cleared, the people became more solid. They saw someone bent over another person on the ground, holding up something (later they found out it was a bow) as if to shield themselves. And so it was. They first saw Homura a few distance away from the two people, looking extremely shocked.

"Whatthe.... Ai ?!?" Homura said in disbelief. The person straightened up. It was a girl dressed in a kimono-like shirt, with a skirt reaching to her ankles, slits by both sides. She had long blonde hair, just like Sanzo, and was carrying a bow and a container of arrows slung from behind.

"Homura-sama, I don`t think you should kill innocent mortals," the girl said in a soft melodious voice. " What are you doing down here?" demanded Homura, ignoring her statement. " Bousatsu-sama told me I could find some fun here," the girl replied. "I want his life! Get out of my way!" Homura snarled. "I won`t," she replied firmly. Homura stared stonily.

"Fine. Zeon, Shien, retreat." And without another word, Homura disappeared. "Arrh, there`s a plan gone wrong, " Zeon complained. "Ai-sama, good day to you," bowed Shien before they both disappeared.

Gojou and Hakkai were of course in a state of disbelief. They had just seen the great fighting God, Homura Taishi retreat from this lady, obviously of high power. They stared at her, not knowing what to say. Hakkai snapped out of his state of oblivion and smiled politely. "Thank you for saving Sanzo. May we know who are you?" he inquired. "Yeah and what have you got to stop Homura! I`d like to learn that!" Gojou piped.

The girl giggled quietly, and bowed to them "I`m Ai....ahh...no... my name`s Yuuki. Nice to meet you Hakkai, Gojou." Sanzo got up from where he was, groaning, with his hand to his head," Not another god! I`ve had enough." "Sorry to disappoint you, Genjo-sama!" the girl chirped. Suddenly she turned and rushed over to the other side where Goku was still lying. "Ah, Goku!" Hakkai exclaimed. "My house is nearby, if you don`t mind, please bring Goku over and you all can rest a while too," the girl smiled.
