With Priest Sanzo's journey over...him and his companions find themselves on a new journey searching for the Mountain of Enlightenment upon which those who dwell with Buddha's strength seem to be feeling it's power/calling as of lately. Sans seems to be one of these. Along the way, Sanzo spots something that catches his interest along the roadside.
Sanzo: Hakkai! Pull over! Now! (grabs the wheel and does it for him anyway)
Hakkai: (laughs) well, no need, seeing as my co-pilot just did it for me.
Hakaryu: (whines)
Hakkai: Actually, I was more referring to Sanzo. So why was it you wanted me to stop so badly...
Hakkai trailed off as he walked over to Sanzo who had already stepped out of the jeep and was standing over a obstacle which caused Hakkai to gasp and do a double-take.
Hakkai: It's a young girl! Who do you think she is...?
He leaned over her to check for identification. He spotted a locket around her neck upon which he opened.
Hakkai: This must be her family. It's also engraved with an address which must be her's.
Sanzo: What good will that do us with no town to connect to the address?
Hakkai: There's a town about three miles southwest of here. Though I wasn't planning on going that direction since we're headed southeast.
Sanzo: Then we'd better turn back.
He headed for the car
Hakkai: Sanzo! We can't just leave her like this!
Sanzo: It's not my business Hakkai. Someone else will find her.
Hakkai: It may be too late by then...
Sanzo: I said it's not my business!
suddenly, two voices started to speak from the back of the jeep.
Gojyo: What the hell's going on???
Goku: Yeah Guys, come on! I'm trying to sleep!
Gojyo: No kidding! Take it easy on the juice! Less on the chaps and slow on he wheels...
Gojyo sat up
Gojyo: On second thought...The wheels are a little too slow...why the hell have we stopped, Hakkai?
Hakkai: This girl...she looks as if she's been left out cold on this road and hasn't eaten in days.
Goku sits up
Goku: did somebody say we were gonna eat???
Gojyo: You dumb monkey! Is that ALL you ever think about??? No one ever even said anything like that! Go back to dreaming about your home back in the rain forest!
Goku: I never lived in a rain forest you ass!! I don't know where the hell you came up with that but...!!
Hakkai: You two, please, we have a decision to make!
Sanzo: Decision's already been made. You two can keep arguing.
Just as the two of them were about to start their bickering up again they immediately were halted as Sanzo continued
Sanzo:Just not on my time. Now, let's get moving.
Hakkai: Sanzo, if that's the way you felt this whole time, then why did we stop?
Sanzo froze but didn't turn around to face him
Hakkai: I think we do have a decision to make. However, if you don't want to be part of it, I understand and I'll gladly take her back myself.
Sanzo: You do what You want, Hakkai. I'm no stopping you.
The other two began to follow Sanzo
Hakkai: (smiles) However, I hear the food and restaurants in the town are a delicacy and nothing to pass up. (Goku stops) And I'm sure that the lovely older sisters in her family would be so thankful that I returned her and would love to repay me somehow. (Gojyo stops)
like little kids, they both immediately ran over to Sanzo
Goku and Gojyo: Come on Sanzo!! Yeah let's go!! I wanna! I wanna! I wanna! I wanna! I WANNA!!! You owe me one, ya know! Please Sanzo! Hakkai has the jeep, ya know!
Sanzo: (tenses) Alright! Just shut-up and let me think! look, i don't want to get thrown off course so if one of you wants to go, then by all means...go! The rest of us will wait here!
Goku: Oh! Oh! Pick me Sanzo! come on! Let me take her! Pleeeeeeeeese!!!!!!!
Sanzo: Fine! Just shut-up and go!
Goku: Yeah! Wahoo!
He ran over to where the girl was originally but saw drag marks and that she was already being dragged by Gojyo. Fuming, he ran over to the front to confront him
Goku: Dammit Gojyo! Sanzo said I could do it!
Gojyo: Oh yeah? Well I don't see how a monkey can get too far when he's not swinging trees! Admit it, the reason you wanna go is cuz the town's loaded with food!
Goku: Yeah well, the reason you wanna go is for the girls!! Admit that!!!
Gojyo: I won't admit to that until you admit that you're selfish and don't give a damn about her and all that matters is stuffing your little monkey face!!
Goku: You're such a bullshitter!!!
Gojyo: Yeah, well you're full of crapped up bananas!
he set the girl down
Goku: Oh that's it!!! I should've done this a long time ago!!!
Gojyo: Alright pipsqueak!! Let's make this quick! I've got a lovely young girl to take home!!
Goku: Don't think so!! I'll be the one going to the town!!
BANG!!!!!!!!!
Goku and Gojyo: Sanzo???
Sanzo: Look...I don't care whether your reason for going is to flirt with a woman or flirt with a grocer...one of you better get this girl home or I'm sending both of your asses in the fire!
he pointed the gun again
Hakkai: (smiles) I think what he means is...if you both want to go that badly...then by all means...go together.
