AUTHOR'S NOTE: This will be very confusing if you have not seen multiple episodes of Saiyuki. Sorry that I'm random like that. The Song is called Road To Nowhere by Bullet For My Valentine and the story is written for the main crew!

Road to Nowhere

Tired and lonely still we stand,

On a road to nowhere.

Trapped in a world of endless days, my engine's stalling.

(Road to nowhere)

The car lets out a gurgling chirp. The driver runs a hand back and forth on the top of the steering wheel. Peeking at the man seated next to him, he gasps softly, because he is sleeping. On this bumpy terrain? Come to think of it, this is the first time, ever, that the priest has slept in the car. Frowning, he concentrates on the road again. He chances a glance into the mirror to find everyone asleep. So that's why it was so quiet. His eyes glaze over, as he thinks of a different road, in an entirely different time. He would be clutching two brown paper grocery bags instead of a leather wheel. His long hair would tangle at the back of his neck, causing him to smile full of teeth. He would open the door of his home, hurriedly place his groceries on the kitchen table, and hasten to a back room where she would be. Her arms would wrap around his neck as her fingers roughly slid into his brown hair, getting caught. Giggling into his mouth she would do her utmost to fix the knots.

Body and mind are breaking down,

On a road to nowhere.

Destiny silent, hear no sound, as I wait forever.

He woke with a loud snore. Where am I? Oh right, the crappy jeep. No offense Hakuryu. Even though they have been traveling for a long time, it feels the same, immobile. Why did my very first friend have to go? He was an amazing . . . Prince. All those that he cared about went down to the earth, forgetting about him until he too was sentenced to time on earth. Only he was not free to roam but was instead locked up on a tall mountain. Eventually someone rescued him, but that doesn't mean that he missed his friend any less. Nataku, You and I will always be the same. Someday I'll talk to him about you, just not yet.

Farewell, I miss you

I'm sick of these good byes

Cause it tore us apart, right from the start

I miss you.

"Stop teasing me Master." The young charge glared up with icy purple eyes.

"But you really would make the perfect Sanzo." He answered with a sly look in his eye.

"There's already a great Sanzo, geez, like anyone would bow to some river rat-"

"Hmm." He made a non-committal noise in his throat.

"Are you even listening?"

"Of course." He dropped his cigarette and stomped on it with the heel of his sandal, "Just as I'm sure others will, now hurry up with sweeping those leaves so we can play."

"Whose the kid here?" The older man wrapped an arm around thin shoulders giving a brief squeeze.

"Everything will be fine as long as one of us is mature."

A tear leaked out of the corner of the sleeping man's eye.

Feelings that filled me left me cold

On this road to nowhere

(Road to Nowhere)

You didn't have to you know? You didn't have to kill your own mother for my sake! I- I would rather have died then witnessed that. I can't blame you for leaving me afterwards, but I can for saving me, you freaking idiot. When I see you again, I'm gonna- I'm gonna - I don't even know what! Brother, just stay wherever you are, just stay away. It's better that way.

Dreams are my saviors, save me now, cause I know I'm fallin'

(Oh yeah)

"I'm finished." A small smile unconsciously works it way up the blond boy's face.

"Alright! The last one there has to cook!" The man took off, even in what appeared to be a restraining outfit, the white robes billowing out just at the sleeves.

"Where are we racing to!"

"Too late!"

"Huh? Master that's not fair you cheated!"

Farewell, I miss you

I'm sick of these good byes

Cause it tore us apart, right from the start

I miss you.

He remembered it like it was yesterday and not years and years ago. I don't care what that bastard made you do Nataku. But Nataku despised himself because of his job as the Prince of War, and there was nothing that Goku could do to change his mind.

Candles burn slowly, flames shine so brightly.

Light in the darkness, save me from madness again.

Really I don't need a family, not with how mother treated me. I don't know if I can be grateful . . . to you brother.

There was a time when all the dark brown haired man wanted was to pass away, like his love. He could not protect her, after everything she had done . . . no become for him, he had failed her. However, an annoying bystander had different plans for him. A man with blood-red hair picked him, like a flower, and nurtured him back to health.

Brother, I've discovered the value of life. So yeah, thanks.

Only the lonely, can possibly know me.

Heat keeps on rising, fire engulfs me again.

Keeps on rising.

"SANZO!" With that exclamation everyone awakens.

"God do you ever shut up?"

"But Sanzooooooooooooooooooo!"

"What?"

"You said we'd go get food! You're not being fair!" The blond man clenched his fist on his lap breathing heavily through his nose.

"You're right we're going there."

"Where?" He only smiled in response.

Goku crossed his arms over his chest and looked to the side. Fine, Sanzo could keep his secrets, for now anyway.

Farewell, I miss you

I'm sick of these good byes

Cause it tore us apart, right from the start

I miss you.

My sweet Kanan, I have shorter hair, I use a comb and. . . I'm no longer alone.

Nataku, you'd be so proud of me!

Master, I have no idea how you put up with me.

Hey Bro, it seems that you've fallen into a good crowd, like me, I'm happy for you man. Mom, sayonara.

Farewell, I miss you

I'm sick of these good byes

Cause it tore us apart, right from the start

I miss you.

Despite all the shouting, the men confined in the jeep are content, because they are living for the living. The man driving feels a hand on his shoulder; the one who makes him experience so many emotions is behind him. The grumpy man upfront next to him can't hide his pleasure whenever the loud one in the back acts childish, and said kid always keeps everyone on track. Hakuryu it couldn't be better ne?

SECOND AUTHOR'S NOTE: I made Goku remember his life in heaven, I do not think he does so in the manga/anime but I could be wrong . . . anyway I hope you all liked this!
