'….' Sanzo's Thoughts
This chapter shall be in Sanzo's View. Hope everyone shall enjoy this chapter and Thank You.
-------
There is a village close by the mountain,
It is a small and modest village.
The Humans and Youkai working together,
Peaceful and calm,
There are rarely visitors.
The ones who live in the village,
They never do leave for it has a sense of safety and free of danger.
The reason is that bandits have no need for such a small village,
No one has harmed the village yet,
There are no weapons to protect themselves.
Sanzo arrived in the village with his dirty robes and hair,
They stared in wonder as to how someone could get so dirty,
Then go about their peaceful life,
Ignoring him and keeping their distance.
The villagers had no idea that this child is Sanzo,
That this child with those dirty robes and hair is Sanzo,
They didn't know that Koumyou was dead,
They had no clue about anything outside their own village,
Happily remaining in their own little world.

I saw the village that is near the Mountains and those villagers are foolish for every single one of them are lost in their own world. I only saw this village once when I was ten years old and my golden hair was hidden for it would have drawn attention. My hair is free of blood, but my hair is covered in dirt hiding my golden hair. I have a bandage wrapped around my head and it covered up the small red charka on my forehead.
The villagers looked upon my dirty robes and hair with distain then went on with their way of life. I ignored their dirty looks at me as they walked past me for their thoughts do not matter to me. I used some of my coins to buy another robe, underclothing, a towel, and a small sack. I did not bother buying any food for I can find my own inside the woods. I will not linger in this village full of people who are weak and foolish in their so called safe village. I put the small sack on my back and my banishing gun clenched in my right hand which I have hidden in my robe.
I walked away from this village and into the woods to find a place to wash myself from all of this dirt. I found the perfect place in no place at all and then disrobed myself. I still had my banishing gun in my right hand as I cleaned my body and hair. Afterwards I put on my clean underclothing and robe. I buried my dirty clothing and washed my hands off. I kept my guard up and then I heard a rustling in the tree above the stream that I had washed in.
"Come out now or I'll fire." I stated coldly as I looked at where I had the sound of rustling and my banishing gun was raised up.
"Okay, Don't fire." A boyish voice said to me calmly and he jumped down. The Youkai was my size, his skin slightly tanned, three dark blue marks on his cheeks, mid back long pale blond hair, dark green eyes, claws, and a smile on his lips. "I was sleeping until I heard a sound of the rustling of clothing."
I did not reply and I walked away with my banishing gun in my hand. I noticed right away that I was being followed by that Youkai boy and I was getting annoyed.
"What do you want." I snapped angrily and glaring at him. The Youkai boy grinned and had his hands on his hips.
"Well, I'm bored. You seem interesting." The Youkai boy replied calmly. "I'm Kavi."
"I do not care just leave." I stated coldly and The Youkai boy Kavi seemed not to care.
"I can tell that you're a Sanzo because of the Charka on your forehead." Kavi told me while smiling and I ignored him "I have never heard of a Sanzo being this young."
I kept on walking and ignoring Kavi, but made sure to keep my guard up. I do not trust anyone or anything. This Kavi seems to not have any evil intentions and no need to kill him.
"So Sanzo has anyone told you have the prettiest golden hair." Kavi commented "I have never seen anyone with hair that looks like gold."
"Shut up." I told Kavi coldly and kept on walking. Kavi sighs and he was walking side by side with me.
"I'm planning on becoming a Poet." Kavi said causally. "I have been practicing on making poems and it is always about nature."
I ignored Kavi's voice and soon that pest will go away if I ignore him long enough. The only offense he has made is annoying me and it is not worth wasting bullets on that type of offense. I sighed for I have no idea as to how big this forest and how long until that annoyance goes away.
"I have never made a poem about any humans, half breeds, or Youkai." Kavi stated flatly. "That is because the ones I have seen are so boring."
I made no comment and instead I was looking around at the area. I do not sense any evilness and I still had my banishing gun clenched by my side.
"However, You're are not boring." Kavi told me while smiling and I frowned briefly before making my face emotionless. "I can smell the blood on you even though you washed it off. You are a Sanzo and yet you killed."
"It is my duty to protect the Maten Sutra. I will kill anyone Human or Youkai who get in my way. I believe only in myself." I said to Kavi coldly. "I do not care how bloody my hands get for in the end the water will cleanse them of it."
"Like I said you are not boring." Kavi stated to me while smiling. "You are interesting. You're not boring like the people and Youkai in that village."
"I do not care." I said to him coldly.
"Well, I'm planning to follow you until the next village." Kavi replied while smiling. "I hate traveling alone that is the only reason why I have not left this village and no one else want to leave."
"Alright, You can follow me until the next village." I said to Kavi flatly. "However if you decided to keep on following despite reaching the next village. I will kill you. Don't get in my way because if you do then you are dead. Do you understand Kavi?"
"Perfectly clear, Sanzo." Kavi replied happily while smiling brightly.
-----
I will only protect myself and the Maten Sutra,
I won't protect anyone else or anything else.
I will not hesitant to kill any threats,
No matter their gender or age or anything,
No matter how I feel about it.
For protecting this Sutra is important,
For finding my Master's sutra is important,
In order to do this I must be alive.
