I decided that there were not enough Genjyo Sanzo stories for my tastes so I'm making my own. Love it, Hate it, don't care it's still gonna be here. So I'm gonna be going by the anime and then I might go by the manga when it gets to Saiyuki Relode. I will however take creative license with the story and some things will be switched around to my liking.

The main character's image, clothing, and weapon are in my profile just like my other stories.

I do not own Saiyuki, Saiyuki Gaiden, Saiyuki Relode, Saiyuki Ibun or any of its many fabulously sexy charachters.

For eight years I traveled from place to place never really finding somewhere that felt right so when I got sick of one village or town I would move on to the next until one day on a cold snowy day I came upon a temple and passed out right there on the steps.

And this is where my journey begins.

I wake to a beige ceiling and a warm rag on my head, my eyes and head ache as I move them to look more around the room. I was laid out on a futon in the middle of a practically empty room. I pull the rag off my forehead and sit up slowly as not to agitate my poor sore body. "Ugh, what happened?"

"We found you." came a voice from next to me. It was a young short boy with golden eyes and a diadem wrapping around his head Next to him was a blond man with violet eyes who looked to be a priest. "Well actually monkey boy found you and dragged you into the temple without my permission."

I nod and sigh. The last thing I remember is walking through the snow, I can't recall coming to the coming up to the temple or passing out on the stairs at all. "Well thank you for your hospitality, but I shouldn't be here being a woman and all." When I tried to get up, the room spun and then I was on the floor in a coughing fit. "You have a fever and as much as I want you to leave You can't. I would have to live with your death if I kicked you out."

I look blankly at the man and, "Well thank you for your concern."

The boy helps me out by rolling me back onto the futon and covered me. "Don't worry about him, he's just grouchy that the other monks yelled at him for you being here. By the way I'm Goku and that's Sanzo."

"I'm Meika." I looked to the man and noticed the sutra on his shoulders and the cancer stick in his mouth. "A Sanzo that smokes? They can't take your title for that?" I saw the irk mark on his head and smirked at it as he walked out of the room.

What was supposed to be a few days turned to weeks that turned to months that ended up being two year that I stayed at the temple. I stuck around the temple, much to the displeasure of the ohter men, because Sanzo found me "useful' as he said but really I kept Goku out of his hair for a couple hours a day.

After having a shower and making sure that Goku had one and hadn't eaten the temple, Meika was called into Sanzo's office. It wasn't rare that Sanzo sent her out on little missions when he didn't feel like going, so being called into his office wasn't a 'yell at you because I know I can' moment for them.

The door creaked as Meika slid it open but Sanzo didn't look up, he probably knew it was her already. "Come here." she walked to stand in front of him with her arms folded. "The three aspects have another mission and I need you and the monkey child to come with me. Now normally I would have no qualms about sending you to fend for yourself," That made her shake her head. It's completely true that he would make Meika do it herself but she didn't fight him on it since she kind of owe him. "But I was told that I needed to go with you so there it is."

"What's the mission? And please don't tell me that I have to wear the dress again." Ahh the dress. It was a slutty disgusting dress that Meika had to wear a couple of times with a few criminals that had a thing for hookers and cheap whiskey. She was completely ashamed of that dress and even more ashamed when Goku found it and made a cape out of it. She took it from him and burned it to a crisp. But don't tell Sanzo that.

"No you don't need the dress and I already know you burned it." A sweat drop rolls down the back of her head. "We need to meet up with Hakkai and Gojyo and go to India."

That was all he said. Meika waited for him to at least say something else but got nothing. "Is that it? You're not going to tell me why?"

"Nope." She twitched. "Now go tell Goku."

"I couldn't get a please?"

"Do you want a bullet in your ass?"

Meika rolls her eyes, hands on her hips saying, "You do know that I'm not scared of you or your gun right?"

"JUST GO!" Sanzo yelled sending a wide eyed Meika running out of his office and out into the hallway calling for Goku. He sighed and lit a smoke. "Stubborn woman."

Well Meika eventually found Goku. He was just up in a tree with the other monks surrounding the bottom telling him to get down and not to eat the peaches that were meant as offerings for the Merciful Goddess. She stood behind the crowd of men and watched as they scolded the teenage money boy with a smile on her face, of course she could rely on him to make her day that much brighter. But she knew she had to break up the fun so her monkey wouldn't feel the sting of Sanzo's mighty paper fan.

"Goku. Get down from there before Sanzo beats you with his fan."

"Relax Meika, the bush is loaded, there's plenty to go around, and besides I'm hungry!" he yelled back down.

"Fine. But I will not be held responsible for Sanzo will do to you with fan and/or his foot."

Goku defiantly stuck his tongue out at his mother figure giving her an irk mark. She may love him but that boy could be such a brat when he wants to. Feeling a presence behind her she turned to find the blond Priest standing behind her with his usual blank stare. "What's he doin now." he says in his usually exhausted tone.

"Your companion feels entitled to partake in some of the local produce." says monk number one. Then monk number two with the stupid mustache jumps in, "These are an offering to the Merciful Goddess. Get him down now!"

"A peach is a peach is a peach, get over it." Goku called down

Meika shook my head then kicked the tree making it shake and the little monkey boy had to hold on for dear life. "Don't be a brat! Get down before one of these monks have a heart attack!"

Sanzo started jacking up the first monk saying that Goku wasn't a companion that it was just guilt by association. "Get down Goku. Dinner's over. Let's go."

The Priest and the woman walked side by side away from the crowd. Goku jumped down and started buggin them about goin to a real restaurant. "Where are we going." Goku jumps down and follows Sanzo and Meika who had started to walk away. "Are you taking me to a real restaurant? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?"

~And here it comes~ Meika thinks.

"SHUT UP!" Sanzo yells then smacks the golden eyed boy in the back of the head with his fan. The blue eyed woman just shakes her head and grabs the Priest from causing anymore damage to the young one.

Goku holds his head in agony yelling, "What the hell was that for?"

Sanzo starts stepping on his head. "Just shut up and get changed or I'll do it again. And if you don't do it, I'm leaving you behind."

"How could one as holy as Sanzo," a monk behind the trio started. "Ever consort himself with such an unruly child?"

"And allowing that woman to stay here in such a sacred place. Dishonorable."

Meika turned and glared at the two men speaking while Sanzo looked at them from the corner of his eye. The two men froze from the harsh glares knowing that they had been heard. "Don't talk like we're not here." she said.

"What I allow and don't allow and pick up and throw out is none of your business."

"Pick up?" Goku asked. "What do you mean, like a disease?"

Sanzo quickly turned around and stepped on Goku's head some more since he was still on the ground. "Shut your mouth and move your ass." Goku quikly went to pack so he could get away from Sanzo's rage, which left Sanzo to turn on Meika. "You need to teach him to speak when spoken to."

She just shrugs and walks pass him, he follows her. "He probably can't remember how to since you're always knocking out his brain cells."

They didn't leave until the sun was setting, tinting the sky a golden, pinkish, purplish color, as Meika, Goku and Sanzo walked away from their home at the temple. Sanzo and Meika walked quietly, Goku...

"So are you gonna tell us where were going? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?"

Sanzo once again turned around and smacked the hyper-active boy with his harison. "SHUT UP!"

"This is what I meant." Meika whispered as she kept walking.

"One more sound and I'm going to kill him."

"Well I am curious too." Meika explains, stopping to look back at the two men, "You didn't tell us much of anything."

He walked forward towards the edge of the cliff then looked back at them. Goku looked excited as expected for the hyper monkey, and Meika had a hand on her hip waiting for him to say something. "We're going to look for Hakkai and Gojyo. We find them and go."

"Go where?" Goku asks

He says nothing but we all turn to the setting sun.

So they ended up camping out when night fell and awoke to continue the journey when the sun rose and walked through the forest to meet up with Hakkai and Gojyo. It was now almost noon and Meika and Sanzo walked in the front while Goku dragged behind them a few feet. Suddenly Goku was sitting on the ground complaining once again that he was hungry.

"Come on Sanzo how long until we get there?" the monkey boy whined from the rock he was sitting on. "Meika! I'm sick of walking and I'm tired of waiting for lunch!" When the two adults didn't respond he continued. "Hey I'm talking to you guys!"

Sanzo turned, fan out, with fury in his eyes. "And we're sick of it!" Meika winced as Sanzo smacked the crap out of Goku. "We'll never get there if you keep taking breaks every five minutes!"

"Gah! Why are you being such a hard ass! Mei help me!"

She sighed not wanting to get in the middle of it but Goku would still end up beaten to death if she didn't, so Meika separated the two of them. "Goku suck it up. Sanzo we do need a break. Ease up on him."

Sanzo just glared at the two of them. "Yeah your a Priest," Goku butted in, "How about a little compassion."

Meika turned to Goku as Sanzo stood back and rubbed his head. "Look kid we all know that it's impossible for you to starve to death."

"You don't know that for sure."

"Yes we do."

"Well instead of turning this into a death march, Sanzo could have had Hakkai come and pick us up in the jeep."

"Shut up and get up." was Sanzo's response along with a foot upside Goku's head. Meika asked if he could at least tell them about his sudden burning desire to meet up with Hakkai and the red perv. "I have to confirm something." Goku asked about what it was. "Yesterday I was summoned to the Temple of the Setting Sun in Chang Ang." He explained to them that a great demon named Gyumaoh was being resurrected by demon and human technology from another time and magic and that the demons were being thrown off by it. Sanzo was told that he needed to travel to India with the people he shared a past with, Goku, Gojyo, Hakkai, and Meika, and put a stop to the resurrection and the demons' madness.

Well that sounds like F-U-N.

Goku sat on the ground with a contemplative look on his face, which actually looked like a constipated look to Meika. "So we book it this India place, where ever that is," he throws up a thumbs up sign along with a little chiby face. "Find out whose messing with magic, make sure this Gyumaoh guy stays dead, you look good for the three heads and the demons go back to being our buddies right? Let's do it."

Meika sweat drops. As much as she loves Goku he has his naive moments from time to time. "It's not as easy as that."

"Meika's right."

Monkey boy just blows them off. "You guys worry to much, relax."

"You don't get it."

"Sounds like a done deal to me. What do you need Hakkai and Gojyo for?"

"Because Monkey Boy-" Sanzo's reply was cut short by the sound of movement in the trees and they were all put on alert. Three demons jumped out from a tree close by causing Goku yell out and summon his Nyoi-bo. He quickly took out the first demon.

The next demon went after Meika. It saw he with no weapon and smirked "Easy Kill" it thought. Meika held out her left hand and a long, silver staff appeared in her hand that was just above her height. "Ha! I'm not afraid of a little girl with a stick in her hand!" the demon mocked.

She smirked. "Good." She swung it and the top of the staff glowed blue. The glow got bigger the disappeared and left a giant double sided silver axe. "Then you shouldn't be scared of this." The demon blanched and screamed as the axe was gracefully swung and ended his life.

Sanzo lazily fought the last demon, it slashed at him and the droopy eyed Priest jumped away from it every time. Tired of the chase, he appeared behind the demon. "Watch your back." and karate chopped the big eared demon to the floor. "Freeze."

When the demon turned to Sanzo he was met with a gun in his face. "HA!" he grinned as he looked down the barrel of the little gun in front of him. "Do you really believe that a puny little pistol will have any effect on a demon such as me?"

"Actually no, I don't." the priest cut him off. "But this isn't a puny little pistol. It's a banishing gun." He cocked the gnu which put the fear into the demon on the ground. Though he pleaded the demon was blasted and destroyed. "You know they never listen."

Meika shrugged. "Of course not." Goku jumped down and the trio went back to back. They were surrounded by a circle of demons that just drew closer one step at a time. "So these are friends of Gyumaoh?"

"Took off their limiters and turned to the other side." Sanzo commented.

As the demons got closer the trio stood closer together. "This doesn't look to good." Goku whispers worriedly.

When everything looked pretty much helpless for the outnumbered group, chains came out of nowhere and most of demons were wiped out.

"So things are bad all over." came a familiar voice to them. There on a cliff just above them were Hakkai, Gojyo and Hakuryu. "Looks like Shangra-La is going to hell in a hand basket. But I'm betting you guys know how to get it back."

Goku smiled excitedly. "It's and look Hakkai!"

"Long time no see Goku." Hakkai greeted.

They jumped off the cliff and safely landed on the ground. Gojyo walked up to Meika and threw an arm around her shoulders making her glare at him. "Nice to see you all, even you, you stupid monkey." Meika decided that it would be a smart move to actually get away from the two because Gojyo had pretty much initiated a fight and she didn't want to be caught in the middle of it.

"Listen water wimp why don't you watch your mouth! Huh?" Goku yelled as Gojyo just turned his head away as if he wasn't listening at all, well until he heard the water wimp thing.

Gojyo threw up a fist and yelled, "Hey! You wanna start something? Come on!"

"Ugh! Pee-eww your breath smells like ass."

Sanzo sighs with a hand over his face while Meika pats his back sympathetically. This is the part that he had been dreading, when Gojyo joined the group and the aggravating fights laughed it off though, he didn't really mind them because they usually ended quickly and usually it was because of Sanzo. "How'd you find us?" Sanzo asks.

Hakkai stood in front of Meika and Sanzo with his back to them with his pet white dragon Hakuryu on his shoulder. "The demonic aura is strong. I followed it's scent here." He turned with a serious look on his face. "Unfortunately Gojyo and I have witnessed scenes like what you've just experienced." Gojyo walked up behind Hakkai with the same dire expression. "Goku, Gojyo and I ar the only demons who seem in control."

Another demon came from behind Gojyo and Hakkai, running at them with twin swords in his hands yelling for them to die. Gojyo just smirked and threw his hand into the demons face watching him dissipate like the demons before him. Hakkai sent Hakuryu out of the way as he delt with two other demons that ran up on him. He expertly jumped over them and formed a Chi ball in the air that he let go of once he hit the ground. The two demons that thought he would be so easy were blown into dust. "Man that was great." Goku complimented as he slid up behind Hakkai. "But what the hell was that?"

Hakkai shyly threw a hand behind his head. "Actually that was the first time I've used it. I wasn't sure if I could pull it off." Goku sweat drops with wide eyes. "Ok I kind of copied it from someone else." Goku comments that he just stole it from someone.

Two demons that didn't attack stood behind Hakkai, Gojyo and Goku commenting on how Hakkai wears ear cuffs and Goku wears a band around his head, how their willingly limiting their powers. "You are demons. Are you not?"

Goku rassberries them. "And if we are?" Gojyo demands.

"You are our kind! Why do you fight against us?" One of the demons yell.

"Good question." Goku comments before they go on the attack.

Meika and Sanzo leave the rest of the fighting to them. Sanzo flashbacked to when he was first assigned the other four as his companions. He could understand why he needed Meika, but why the other three? They are demons. The only male Aspect told him that even though they are demons they are also human, it is why they can maintain their sense of self and why they don't give into the dark aura. One of the female Aspects had told him that he had lived long and he should know that all of the scares that Goku, Gojyo, Hakkai, and even Meika and himself carried with them were the very things that connected them all together. Sanzo learned that this rag-tag little group had be brought together because of the Merciful Goddess and he had to confess that the only person that he could ever trust is himself because he had lost his most precious something long ago.

Sanzo was brought back to the fight when a demon crawled towards Goku and took ahold of his leg. "Traitors!" he rasped as he fought for breath. "You would take the side of the powerless and arrogant humans, that is not where you belong. Do not betray your own kind!" He let go of Goku's leg and pointed at the three demons. "Join us and raise your voices with ours! LONG LIVE THE DEMON KINGDOM OF GYUMAOH!"

He was instantly killed when the three men brought their powers together. "Huh. What a load of crap. Taking sides with the humans." Gojyo scoffs.

"From the day I was born to the day I die," Goku says his voice full of determination. "The only side I'm on is mine."

The eye of the heart. Sanzo thought to himself. "Goku."

"Huh?"

"Gojyo."

"Yeah?"

"Hakkai."

"Yes."

Sanzo looks to Meika who only looks at him and smiles and turns with him. "We go there!" He points out the setting sun as they stand on a cliff. "To the west.

Goku: Well that didn't take long! Just a couple of days into our trip and their already sending assassins after us. I hate this job. Oh yeah, and this bunch of freaks is lead by some spider skank, not pretty. Then of course there's the usual dilemma about dinner. Look at him, I hate that dude.

Gojyo: Aww, bite me.

Goku: You wish. Stay tuned for the next episode.
