Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Unexpected

Burp Gojyo finished a can of beer and threw the can to his left, trying to make it over the head of the boy that was sitting beside him, and out the Jeep, littering once again. Instead it hit the monkey boy right in the head, and fell to his feet.

After noticing this, both Cho Hakkai and Genjo Sanzo, sitting in the front seat of the Jeep both were thinking the same thing – another fight beginning.

Indeed both the brunette driver and the blond headed monk were right.

"What the heck was that for??!" the young golden-eyed monkey god yelled after feeling the poorly aimed tossed beer can hit his head.

"I really wasn't intending for that to hit you, but maybe it wouldn't have if your big dang head wasn't in the way," the redhead hissed back, declaring his hubris, even though one could clearly see it was Gojyo's fault, even if it really were an accident.

"My big head?? What the heck were you aiming for?! I think you meant to hit me in the head!! Well you know what??" Son Goku picked up the beer can and threw it at Sha Gojyo, hitting him right in the forehead.

The man's face got as red as his hair as the anger built up and came out as him yelling, "You half-brained monkey bastard!!" He was about to throw the can back at Goku when Gonou the peacemaker interrupted.

"Now, now," the green-eyed demon said in a calm manner. "Come on, guys, calm yourselves. And stop throwing the beer can, you two. Goku, Gojyo didn't intend on it hitting your head, and he's sorry for it-" Hakkai tried to stop the fight before the monk to his left exploded on them for about the fifth time, it not even being noon yet. Hakkai could tell when Genjo Sanzo was about to by the vein in his forehead sticking out, followed by a twitch. Then the smart comment usually presented in a yell would come out of the blonde's mouth, usually scaring the two immature ones out of furthering their dumb little arguments anymore. Hakkai usually didn't agree with the method of threatening Sanzo chose sometimes with his gun, but it worked…

Gojyo interrupted Hakkai. "Sorry?? I'm not sorry!!"

"Yes you are, now apologize to Goku." Hakkai said.

"Sorry my ass…," the redhead whispered under his breath.

"I heard that!!" Goku responded. In fact, everyone heard it.

And with that, Gojyo continued to preparing himself to throw the beer can back at the monkey god. Before throwing it though, the two decided to exchange more name-calling and insults.

"You sorry excuse for a monkey!!"

"You pink-haired jerkoff!!"

"Red!! It's RED!!!" Gojyo held the can up higher as a threat.

"Don't you dare throw it!"

"Oh yea?? How about if you don't shut up, I'll shove it up your butt instead!"

"What?! You're just looking for an excuse to touch my butt, aren't ya!?"

Sanzo exploded.

"Throw it one more time, and you both die, you immature lovers!! You guys need marriage counseling or something??!!" Sanzo yelled and pulled out his gun.

"Err…Good one there, Sanzo-sama…" Hakkai smiled with a sweatdrop, putting his hand on his head, leaving the other one still on the wheel.

Sanzo, satisfied with the silence, put his gun away. He threw an unusual smirk at Hakkai, and said, "Mhm, thought so," and nodded once.

After about ten minutes of impressive silence, Goku added an overdue comment of his. "I'm hungry. Can we stop soon?"

There happened to appear a village that was barely insight, but looked like a nice pit stop from what they could see.

"We can stop there, is that fine, Sanzo-sama?" Hakkai said, pointing towards the village.

"Sure," the monk agreed. He couldn't ignore his own cravings for lunch anymore. The feeling was mutual for the others as well.

As Hakkai drove his Jeep towards the village, they noticed it was a much larger village they thought it was. It also looked a bit older than most they've visited on their journey to the west. When they got to the village they noticed something else strange as well. There was no body there. Or at least they didn't see anyone outside. Maybe they're all inside, Hakkai reasoned to himself.

The clan looked around for a while as Hakkai continued to drive his Jeep down one of the many narrow alleys. The Jeep bumped up and down as it ran over garbage that was littered all over the streets. There were many small buildings everywhere, but it still looked like the whole place was abandoned.

"Where is everyone?" Hakkai finally asked, still looking around as much as a driver could. He glanced over at Sanzo, who didn't respond with any words, but only shrugged once, and looked down in thought. Then he looked up again, looking around the village window by window, seeing if he could reveal anyone's existence in this old deserted village.

"This place is deserted!" stated Gojyo in confusion.

Goku noticed a building that looked like an old bar or diner that they passed by slowly. "Look, the lights are on in there, maybe someone's in there."

Strange, thought Hakkai, it's the only place in this village with lights on. He looked at Sanzo, and the look on his face told him he felt the same way. Hakkai stopped the Jeep and everyone got out. Hakuryuu returned to his dragon state and flew onto his owners shoulder. Hakkai smiled at his pet and patted his head as the white dragon purred. He signaled for the dragon to stay outside though, with the thought that having an animal come into a bar with them might not be the best thing. Hakuryuu obediently swooped down off the brunette's shoulders and sat on the ground, patiently.

Gojyo noticed Hakuryuu and told Hakkai, "Why make the dragon stay outside? If we're making an exception with monkey boy we could make an exception with him as well." He smirked and looked at Goku, who he'd expected to get mad. Indeed the monkey god did get mad, and as soon as Gojyo noticed it, he laughed at him.

"I'm not a monkey!!!" Goku yelled at Gojyo. "You're the one who-," Goku was cut off by Sanzo.

"Shaddup!" Sanzo yelled at both of them. He was already annoyed by the earlier argumentative occurrences that held place by the two, and was dealing with the strangeness of the village they'd happen to come across now. This was no time to piss the so-called priest off any more. There was also something stranger that the monk was feeling as they entered the bar. He could see no one, but felt the presence of other beings in the building.

"Youkai…," Sanzo said to Hakkai, the only one listening to him, since Gojyo and Goku took to ignoring Sanzo yet again, and continued arguing with each other. If there had been any time to, Sanzo would have whacked both the immature ones with his paper fan. But before anything else could happen, all four of them were suddenly knocked off their feet and unconscious into a world of darkness for several hours, or even days, for they didn't know how long exactly.
