"Thinking"
"Talking"
Where the Gods Are
The sun was setting slowly over the mountainous regain that the Sanzo crew was trying to get through. They all had to walk the trail since Hakuryu couldn't get through it in his transformed state, much to everyone's displeasure. But the group found an easy way to relieve some of the strain.
"996," Goku counted. "997, 998, 999, 1000!" He drew down the bag he was dragging and the heavy bog on his back as he reached his thousandth step. "Time to throw it down and have one of you guys pick it up the packs."
See Goku had lost a simple child's game and was forced to carry both the bags that they traveled with for one thousand steps. The group of four ahead of him turned to him Blankley and mumbled "Hmm." at the same time. They got in a circle, counted to three, and threw their hands into the middle. Everyone but Goku threw down a fist, which indicated rock, while Goku threw down two fingers which indicated scissors and he once again lost. Goku looked at his two fingers in shock, "This is bullshit!" he yelled. "Next time we're gonna draw straws or something like that!"
Gojyo smiled and laughed as the others stood around the tired boy. "He's gonna carry those packs all the way to India."
"He always throws down scissors." Hakkai says. "You think he'd catch on by now."
Sanzo showed no sympathy for the tired monkey boy. "Pick it up. Let's go."
Goku held his head down in disappointment. "How much further do we have to walk?"
"As long as the path isn't passable by jeep." Meika says.
Hakuryu flies over Goku giving him squeaks of comfort only to have him turn around and start yelling at him. "God you suck!" he yells at the poor little dragon. "Can't you turn into something other than a jeep. You just don't wanna give us a ride!" Goku continues to have his one sided argument with Hakuryu as Gojyo says, "Sanzo, I believe it's time to put your animal and Hakkai's animal in separate cages."
They continued to walk with Goku behind the group being weighed down by bags and Meika wasn't allowed to help him because the boys said that it was his punishment for losing and complaining.
"At this break neck pace, it doesn't look like we're gonna make it out of the mountain range by sunset." And Sanzo was right. They were walking super slow and stopping so often that it felt like they hadn't actually gotten anywhere.
"Alright then," Hakkai starts in. "I suggest accommodations at this little establishment."
In between the mountain and rocks and crap stood a building, a temple to be exact. Three stories high, built traditionally and almost hidden away. The group of five stood at the large red temple doors. Three of them admired it while the two blonds stood unimpressed. "Excuse me!" Hakkai called up trying to get someone's attention in the building. Two bald monks stepped out one the second floor balcony to see who was out there disturbing their peace and found a woman, four men and a dragon.
"What is it that you want?" One of the monks called down.
Hakkai, being the most well spoken, talks for the group. "We're traveling west and it grows dark. We humbly request accommodations. for the night."
"This is a sacred temple." The same monks calls out. "None but the holy and the blessed may enter these doorways or reside within these walls."
Goku looked at the monks angrily. "Shit. What's up with that?"
Sanzo stood back smirking at everyone's anger. "Monks. They're all religious hypocrites." Gojyo mumbles. "Too busy praying to practice what they preach."
"Watch your mouth." Sanzo growls.
Hakkai nods. "Yeah, hold it down."
"Man I'm hungry. Do something!" Goku whines. "Sanzo!"
That was all that the monks had to hear for them to get scared. A Sanzo traveled to their temple! They inch by in fear realizing that they had just yelled at the holiest of earth bound beings. "Forgive us Genjyo Sanzo!" One monk called out. "I will be right down to let you inside."
...
Inside, Sanzo stood before the head monk of the temple while the other four stood behind him. "Priest Sanzo." The head monk starts. "You honor this old temple with your presence, you will be extended every courtesy."
"We are grateful for your welcome." Was Sanzo's quick reply.
Gojyo looks at Hakkai and asks how much of a big shot Sanzo is. Hakkai explains that Sanzo's name isn't really Sanzo, it's a title and there are five scriptures of heaven and earth that are gifted to only Sanzo priests. They are revered as the holiest of all monks. "So the entire baldy consortium has no idea that he's a total dickhead." Gojyo states.
Hakkai smiles nervously. "They're putting us up for the night, shut up."
"You know, Priest Koumyou Sanzo also graced this temple with his presence almost thirteen years ago." The head monk continues. "His majesty was second only to his humility. His presence is still fresh in my memory. If I may say so; you greatly resemble Master Koumyou. I heard news of Master Koumyou's passing, shortly there after. I learned that his favorite student had taken up his mantel. I am pleased for you. Proud of you."
Sanzo opened his eyes. "Your praise is appreciated. It would be dangerous for us to pass these mountains in the dark so we are grateful you're allowing us to stay the night."
The monk standing closest to Sanzo took a step forward. "We would be happy to allow you to stay, it's just..." the monk looks back at the priest's traveling companions.
"Just what?" Hakkai asks.
"It's just that this temple is sacred and our order does not allow outsiders to pass through our doors." The monk continues. "And these three gentlemen seem to be neither devout or contrite. Also we do not allow women to walk these halls."
Gojyo angrily took a step forward. "You'll let the monk stay but you're gonna make us sleep outside on the rocks? I wouldn't stay here if you got on your knees and begged me!"
"Speak for yourself." Hakkai says, stepping forward trying to get Gojyo to calm down.
"You can sleep where you want." Sanzo calls out to the irate redhead.
"I don't wanna sleep on the rocks." Goku mumbles. Hakkai tells Gojyo to remember that the monks are very devout but Gojyo still thinks they're just devout assholes.
One monk asks if the men are his pupils. "No." Sanzo turns to monks and says, "They're my servants."
That sent Goku and Gojyo into a rage making Hakkai hold them both back from beating on Sanzo. "What of the woman?" The head monk demands. "I sense a great power in her."
Meika steps up behind Sanzo so that the monks could get a better look at her. She's had to stay in the temple of Chang-an long enough to know the drill. "I am Priest Sanzo's personal mage sir." she bows politely before straightening herself.
"Lady Meika is a very powerful being and travels with me for extra security." Meika's staff manifest's in her hand, without the axe blades, and the monks stare in awe at the sacred runes engraved into the metal. They could only wonder what power she held.
"Well then. Welcome Priest Sanzo, Lady Meika, and your servants." That just ticked the two angry men off more.
...
The monks sat down to dinner a few minutes later with the Sanzo crew, which ends up being a dinner with a show.
"You even think about touching my plate, I'm gonna cut your hand off." Gojyo tells Goku who was staring at his plate in hunger.
"I'm hungry and you've got plenty."
"You try it you die."
"Will you knock it off." Hakkai jumps in. Sanzo sits with his hand over his face and Meika smiles, happily ignoring them all.
...
Later that night they all sat in the room they are made to share. "Man those monks kick ass in the kitchen." Goku brags.
"If I cooked you anything, I would be offended." Meika says patting her full stomach.
"The accommodations aren't that bad either." Hakkai chimes in.
Gojyo decides he wants to get under Sanzo's skin for when he was earlier called a servant by the priest. "My goodness, how will we ever repay you for your graciousness to include us your highness."
"I'm going to kill you." was Sanzo's quick warning.
A young bald boy cam walking into the room with a tray of tea in his hands. "Have you found everything to your liking?" He sets the tray down on the table in the room before turning around with a smile on his face bigger than when Goku sees free food. "My name is Yo and I have been given the high honor of tending to all your needs. Simply ask and I will provide it for you."
"Dude," Gojyo interrupts. "I'm sure that you can't provide for my needs. Not unless you've got an older sister.
Yo gets aggravated that he would even mention a woman. "You better watch your mouth! Women are strictly forbidden in this temple." Yo looks to Meika who sits blinking her big blue eyes at the boy making him blush. "But you Lady Meika." Meika looks shocked as he grabs her hand and lowers his forehead to the back of it. "Yes, I can feel your white magic going through me as if the gods are touching my very being. This must be why Master Sanzo is so attracted to your powers." Meika's eyes widen at his last statement. Yo drops her hand and turns his devotion to the blond priest, his eyes wide and hands clamping together close to his chin. "Right Master Sanzo."
Sanzo looked at the boy from the corner of his eye and then away. "Why are you doing this to me?"
"I have to confess, this is the highest honor ever bestowed upon me Master Sanzo. I have never met a holy man chosen by Buddha himself! It's men like you who are the reason why I have devoted my life to the Buddhist faith. I can not tell you what this moment means to me! I promise you, I will put my heart and soul into making your stay here a pleasant one. If there's anything you need at all, please don't hesitate to call my name, Really!"
Meika tried to hide her smile at young monks speech while the others just stared, speechless. When Yo left and closed the door...
It took three seconds for the silence to be filled the sound of loud male laughter.
"You? Holy man? Ya right!" Goku laughs
"I can not tell you what this means to me, do not hesitate to call my name!" Gojyo mocks.
Hakkai's laughter may have been quieter than the other two but he was still loud. "You know what this means don't you?"
They stop laughing for a second look at Sanzo Blankley and say at the same time. "He doesn't know you very well." Before the laughter began again.
Once they calmed down they turned their attention to Meika. "Hey, why was that kid all starry eyed over you Meika." Goku asks looking past Gojyo to see her.
Gojyo scoffs. "He's probably never seen a woman before. His face was so red I thought he would explode."
"Shut up." Meika growls at him. "Well Goku, to many monks they feel that the white magic that a white mage holds is a gift from the gods and that we were sent to do good for the gods where as they believe the black mage gets their powers by selling their souls to the devil to do their wicked biddinig."
Hakkai nods in agreement. "Yes, now that I think about it, maybe it isn't demon magic that makes the demon's go crazy like the aspects told Sanzo. I believe that maybe those who are trying to wake Gyumaoh have a black mage working for them."
"Maybe. But I would have felt it if someone was using a black magic so immense that it could cause so many demon to go crazy. Just a lot of evil energy."
"Just keep your senses open for it." Sanzo sat at the table with his back to the group reading the paper.
...
Hakuryu lay curled up on Meika's stomach sleeping. Meika sleepily rubs her hand down the white dragons body while the others sat around the table playing Mahjong not even paying attention to all the ciggey butts, bear cans, and miscellaneous garbage. The only reason why she couldn't eat was because...
"Ah! You guys, I'm still hungry and I've got gas like you wouldn't believe! All these beans and vegetables, Bleh!" Goku complained loudly. Meika sleepily dug into the bag next to the bed she was laying on and somehow pulled out a meat bun and threw it at Goku without looking at him. After catching it, it took him two seconds to realize what it was before stuffing it in his mouth. "Awesome! Thanks Meika."
"Just don't whine. Don't chew with your mouth open."
"Their Buddhists so their vegetarians and if you think about farting, I'll kill you." Hakkai warns him.
"His farts would almost be better than all this nasty incense." Gojyo grumbles with a lite cigarette dangling from his mouth.
"I disagree." Even though Meika was now asleep she was still alert enough to hear and respond to what they were saying.
Sanzo speaks with a cigarette between his lips. "Just be like Meika and sleep through and be quiet."
"All right, last piece. Call" Gojyo tells them laying a piece down.
Sanzo squints at Gojyo's tile, "Call." he flips his pieces, "All triple straights."
Yo came waltzing into the room and was shocked to see Priest Sanzo and his servants gambling, smoking, drinking beers! And Priest Sanzo's mage lay sleeping on the bed as if it wasn't happening! "What? What are you all doing?"
The men turned to look at him Blankley. "It's Mahjong." they said together. They turn back to the game and ignore him as he face plants on the ground.
"Damn it"
"So you were waiting for the five of one tile!"
"No smoking! No drinking!" Monks came in to take all the trays, beer and game away. "We are confiscating all of this!" the boy tells them with Gojyo by his side.
"Hm?" the remaining monks stopped at the sound of movement coming from the bed. They blushed a range of different colors as they saw Priest Sanzo's mage laying there; blond hair fanning over a pillow eve spilling over the side of the bed and her bright blue eyes staring tiredly at them. "What's going on?" She put her hand up to her eye and used the knuckle of her index to wipe the corner of her eye. The monks saw a pink sparkling background behind her, this made their heads go completely red as they scurried out of the room muttering prayers under their breath. "What's wrong with them?" She asked the four men and the young boy in the room.
"They were smoking a-and drinking and g-g-gambling! And you Lady Meika!" Yo pointed angrily at her. "You allowed it to happen! You are supposed to keep outsiders from corrupting him and keeping him in a clean sterile environment!"
They all stared Blankley at him then to Meika. "Look I'm not his mother and I am definitely not his wife he can do whatever he wants with whom ever he wants. Besides the last time I tried to get him to clean anything he hit me in the head with a book."
"It was a pamphlet." Sanzo corrected.
"Book, pamphlet, in your hands that crap still hurts."
"Well at least you learn. I beat these idiots over the head on a daily bases and they keep aggravating me."
"How could you say these things?" Yo asked in shock.
"Man"
"Do not 'Man' me! We are in a sacred temple! Act like it! I don't understand how none of you seem to know about the ways of Buddha, it's like all of you are asking for Buddha's retribution to come raining down upon you!"
Sanzo, toss me the comics when your finished with the paper, will ya?" Goku asks him.
Sanzo didn't even look up, "Yeah, sure man. No sweat."
"Hey! Are you guys even listening to me?"
"Uh... No" Poor kid.
Hakkai changes the subject, "Tell me, Has this temple suffered from an unusual demonic activity recently?"
"No, of coarse not. It is said that by the Lord Buddha's protection this temple is warded such worldly things because of our deep devotion has been communicated to the Lord Buddha."
The boy is clearly not thinking, "Oh ya, What are you gonna do if they do attack you? What then mini monk?" Gojyo questions the child.
"That would never happen in a million years but if it did the Merciful Goddess would protect us." he answered his eyes defiant.
Meika shook her head, More like watch and enjoy the show. Merciful, my ass! Gods, my ass! It's all the same moronic thinking!
"Right but if she didn't you got guns and shit right?" Goku asks his head propped on his hands.
The boy argued again, "Of course we don't! Killing goes against everything Buddhists stands for!"
"Good god kid your killing me!" Gojyo said exhausted.
Hakkai's face was thoughtful as Hakuryu sat around his shoulders, "Then that's all the more reason we should probably keep the duration of our little visit here short."
"Beef... Pork... Chicken... Fish..." Goku complained.
"Women... Liquor... Smokes..." Gojyo joined him.
Hakkai blows off their complaints, "Okay you both are just pathetic."
"Where's Sanzo?"
"Our little helper came and said the head priest wanted to see him." Hakkai explains.
"This late at night?" Goku thinks aloud.
"They're probably trying to get him to stay longer." Meika adds to sooth his mind.
Hakuryu looks toward the window behind Hakkai and chirps frantically. "What is it?" Hakkai asks him, how he understands it is still a mystery.
They all got serious and ran to the window. When they looked out they could see a protective barrier around the temple, it was shifting and morphing as if it was trying to keep someone out and it was losing. "I think we've got company." Gojyo points out.
Goku looked bored, "No way? another assassin?"
"We'll be lucky if it's just one." Hakkai mentioned
"We should get out there." Meika states before turning for the door.
Outside in the main hall stood the three giant Buddha sculptures. That room started to shake and a wall on the opposite side of the statues exploded and smoke overcame the room. Once the smoke cleared and demon stood on the rubble that use to be the wall in his evil super villan stance with an axe slung over his shoulder. "Come out, come out where ever you are. Genjyo Sanzo." he taunted lamely. "I have orders from Lord Kougaiji himself. I have come to take your life." He looked around at all the monks staring at him in complete shock. "Oh my. I do so love the taste of tender monk flesh."
"A demon!" One of the monks yells.
"To temple!" Another yells.
They all run away and screaming as the demon goes on the attack. He jumps from the rubble and grabs one of the monks by the head before chopping through him with his axe. Poor Yo could only stand frozen on a wall and watch as his Buddhist brothers was destroyed in front of him.
"Do not panic!" One of the monks finally calmed down long enough to take control of the situation. "Use the signs. Form the signs and chant the scriptures." The monks forms a semi-circle in front of him and began to chant. The demon held his head and yelled in pain, the monks were happy that they were hurting him until he started laughing. "Your chanting is just noise to me."
"No, it's not!" the demon says taking his head out of his hand. The monks look on in shock seeing that he was unaffected. "Your pathetic!" He yelled and brought his axe down, chopping the monk that had started the chanting in half.
Yo was forced to watch as more monks were killed and the chaos ensued. "Merciful Goddess. Please save us, please. Please!"
Sanzo stood before the head monk and his two little kiss ups, oh um, helpers. "Yes? Why did you call me here?"
The head monk stood with a serious look on his face. "Though we do not know your plans, Genjyo Sanzo, we wish to ask you to prolong your stay here at our temple."
"I'm afraid that my journey's urgency makes that impossible."
"For just a month?" One of the other months begged. "Please, a week at least. Surely you can remain a week. Your visitation to this place is a sign that we have been searching for and surely you yourself can feel the hand of the Lord Buddha bringing you here."
When Sanzo says nothing the last monk decided to give it a try. "It would be a great honor to all of us if you would bless us with your wise teachings Genjyo Sanzo."
Sanzo smirked at the desperation that was practically oozing from the monks before him. "Perhaps not. Tell me, did you ask the same request of Koumyou Sanzo when he came here?"
The head priest's face goes from smiling to serious in seconds as he hears the sound of rejection and the question from the Sanzo Priest. "We did, but disappointingly he did not comply with our sincere request."
"I have the feeling that you would not have liked his sermon as much as you think."
"Why would you say that?"
"Of course we would!"
"Perhaps you would like me to deliver the message that Koumyou Sanzo was to polite or forgiving to say." The temple monks stared in shock at the loathing look on Sanzo's face. "That all of you are spoiled and frankly you're a bunch of old farts. There."
"How dare you address me this way?" the head monk asked. Sanzo just stuck his pinky in his ear and ignored them as one of the monks tried to stutter out a response.
Another monk burst into the room slamming the door against the wall. "Great one you must come quickly! A demon has entered the temple and demands that we surrender Genjyo Sanzo and his companions and he vows he will slay us all until they are given to him."
"What?"
The demon laughs as he causes the leading Buddha statue tilts to its side. "Come on Genjyo Sanzo! I've had my fill of monks and I'm ready to move on to tastier fare!" He turned when he heard the whimpering of Yo who sat on his knees staring in horror at his fallen comrades. "Tell me child, do you have a name selected? The one you will take on in the after-life?" He was about to bring his axe down on the young boy.
"Man this is a letdown." A voice from above him stopped him from killing Yo. "Can't believe this is their second try." It was Gojyo. He, Hakkai, and Goku stood on the statue. "I mean they might of sucked, but at least the first go around was pretty to look at."
"Heh." The demon laughs. "I know you. You're the three demons who have betrayed us! I'm going to enjoy tearing the three of you apart. One at a time or all together. Yes I'll even let you decide the order in which you all die."
The demon laughs like a complete lunatic. "So? Whatta ya think Goku?"
"Seems like an asshole and he's got bad hair." Goku responds. "I say minus twenty points."
"Take off another fifteen. His clothes are lame and he smells."
The demon went from a smiling bragging face to complete shock in just seconds. "How dare you? How dare you mock me?"
"You haven't heard from me yet." A female voice catches his attention and when he turns towards it he's met with a booted foot to the face. Meika had pole vaulted off her staff and kicked the demon in the face away from Yo. She stood in front of the boy with her staff over her shoulder. "You're a drama queen, minus ten. Oh and your axe is pathetic, minus twenty!" She twirled her staff then thrust the bottom onto the ground putting her power into it so that now the giant axe blades were on show. "Mine's bigger than yours."
"You bitch!"
"Ugh dude!" Goku groans. "Bad teeth. Take off another five!"
The demon got angry and threw his axe at the guys. It didn't even get close to hitting anyone, it was just a bit away from Gojyo's head and he didn't even flinch. "Bad aim." He says. "That's another ten." Then he jumps from the statue and knees the demon in the head. While he's flying backwards Goku jumps through the air above him and kicks him in the side of the face.
The demon hit's the ground close to a pile of rubble. "Ok. Well that took no time at all." Goku says.
"Maybe this is his way of making us think he's got us whipped before he brings out the big guns." Hakkai mocks.
The demon stands. "How very perceptive of you." He starts powering up making large chunks of rock float around him before sending them flying at the group.
"Oh please." Hakkai just puts up a shield around the group like it was no big deal. The demon could only watch as Hakkai resisted his attack. "I kind of thought of it when I was taking out that little spider lady the other day." Hakkai pulled his hand from in front of him and into a salute. "Materialize a little Chi make a barrier wall. Not bad, eh?"
"Awesome." Goku says. "Come on dude hook me up with a few tricks like that, will ya?"
"You have to be able to concentrate and that's not really your strong suit."
The demon notices that Hakkai and Goku still wear power limiter and wonders what would happen if they took those chains of magic off. "Let's find out. Why don't I show my demon brethren the true extent of my powers." Meika gagged as the flesh on his sleeveless arm started to elongate and became a blade the same color as his skin with veins at the base.
"So that's why his little ensemble is missing the right sleeve." Hakkai points out
"And I thought it was just a really bad fashion statement." Gojyo says Blankley.
"GAH!" The demon jumped at them arm... blade at the ready. "And that will be the last statement you ever make."
"We'll see about that." Goku's Nyoi-bo appeared in his hand and blocked the blade of the demon. The demon actually push him back to the group. "He's strong. Strong as he smells."
"And that's something coming from you." Goku mocks.
"You'll never win so you can die now or later." Then out of nowhere, Sanzo was in front of his holding his blade before slamming him to the ground.
"And your not all that bright either." Sanzo says. "Take away another forty-five."
"With that many points he's definitely out of the game." Hakkai states with his ever present smile on his face.
Gojyo came over and stood with his arm on Sanzo's shoulder, making Sanzo glare at him from the corner of his eye. "You know your penchant for dramatic entrances is getting kind of obvious. I could have taken care of him all by myself thank you very much."
"Of this I'm sure." Sanzo says, pushing Gojyo's arm off his shoulder. The demon sat up with his hand over his mouth in pain. "If you're an example of the caliber of assassin they're sending, this Lord Kougaiji of yours, well he must painfully under estimate our potential. What is the real purpose of the experiments to revive Gyumaoh? Tell me who is behind all of this"
The demon smirks arrogantly from his place on the ground. "You stink of human blood, just like that girl. How many people's blood have you been splattered with? You shame your own faith."
"For that I'm taking another twenty. That's it, game over." The demon just couldn't get over the fact that he was a loser and that he had lost, so as a last resort he tried to attack Sanzo. But the priest started to chant from the Maken Tenjou from around his neck. The scripture wrapped around the demon containing him in the air. "You only get one continue." Sanzo says before shooting the demon and finally demolishing him.
Hakkai knelt down close to Yo who stared almost empty at the scene before him. "So there you are. Are you ok? Are you hurt?"
"Who," Yo stuttered. "Who are you people?" They all stood quietly knowing what was to come from the young boy. "I heard him say you've been splattered by the blood of many! If you've killed so many, how are you better than any demon?"
"Look you stupid little jerk! If we hadn't have stopped him he would have eaten your happy ass too!" Goku yells at him. Though his words and tone of voice are incorrect he is trying to make Yo see the truth, that they are forced by the demons that they have to destroy.
"We don't want to kill," Meika rewords Goku's earlier statement. "But the demons leave us little choice."
"You always have a choice! The act of taking a life no matter whose life it is, is blasphemy against the teaching of Buddha!"
"Tell me." Sanzo stands before Yo with hooded eyes. "Do you really believe what you're saying? Do you still mean that after you've just witnessed the slaughter of your own brothers?" Yo looks away, knowing that what was being said was true. Sanzo looks to him. "If you want to be close to the Gods so badly then maybe you should join them. Everyone becomes closer to Buddha when they stop breathing, it's harder to be close when you still are."
Yo fell to his knees, feeling defeated. "You're right."
Gojyo pulls a cigarette out of his pack and says, "You're alive. Think about that kid." Yo watched as the sun rose behind all of them giving them an ethereal glow. "We're all alive for a reason."
Once again the crew stood before the remaining monks but this time for a departure. From the outside of the temple you could hardly tell that anything was wrong but they all knew the truth of the horror that lay inside. They stood silently for a moment before the Sanzo crew turned around to leave in the morning sun.
As they took a few steps away, Yo run up beside Sanzo making them stop. "What is it?" Sanzo asked softly.
"Master." Yo started. "When you and your friends come this way after your journey is over, would you come visit our temple again? Because I... because I'd like really like you to teach me how to play Mahjong if you would, please?
Sanzo smirked down at the boy. "I'd like that very much."
Yo smiled delighted that his hero would do that for him and he could only happily look forward to a time when he could see them all again. He watched them, praying safety for them on their journey, as they walked away from the temple and out of his life...
For now.
Next Saiyuki:
Goku: So Meika's off doing her own thing, that just leaves me and the guys. Well actually it's the guys thinking about what the hell she would be doing all by herself. Me? I just want her to bring me back a snack. So along her way Meika makes a friend and not of the human kind either. Huh? No it's not a demon! What are you guys crazy?
Gojyo: Hey you're holding us up Monkey boy.
Goku: Ah, shut up. Stay tuned for, 'Out on a Breeze.' Hey, Meika bring me back some pot stickers!
Gojyo: Greedy.
