Disclaimer- Saiyuki's not mine! And will never be!
[A/N] Hello! chibi-at-work reporting for duty! Happy [super late] new year everyone!; I'm so happy to be to writing again after so long! [it's been like what? 3 months?] Sorry for not updating at, it was because of the Romeo and Juliet thing I had to do at school. It was boring and not to mention lots of projects that followed it.
Thank you all of the readers that has devoted their time into reading this fic. And a very, very special thanks to the people who have review/faved my story. I'm really happy to see people enjoying it ^^
Ps. Lots of OOC in this chap, if something is seriously not right, you can always tell me! Oh and please don't mind the super bad grammar in this fic; since I didn't want you readers to wait any longer I had to quickly write it. TT * TT sorry ~!
Oh and a happy Birthday to me!
Ok start ! + w +
| Hontou castle |
\*clang*/ "yaaaah!" \*wack*/
"Hump – not bad Dokugakuji. . . but you'll have to do better than that to land that sword on me! Haaah!"
"Right back at you Kou, if you want to improve yourself you got to give me your best shot or I might end up accidentally . . . killing you! \heya/ Take that!''
"Well then if you say so. . . . [starts chanting] . . . ."
"Ummm. . . Kou , I didn't mean I want you to get that serious! Wait!"
"I summon you fen beast! ! ! . . . ok I'm just joking"
"Phew . . . and I thought I was a goner, if that's the idea of your joking then it's not funny [= * ='']. . .ok, then how about a hand to hand combat next?"
"Already way ahead of you, take that! Haah!"
\*Thump*/ \*bash!*/
[A [long] while later]
"ha. . .ha. . . that was one good practice we had in a long time. . . you did pretty good Kou, but you know that we'll got to be working a lot harder so that we are able to defeat Sanzo and his group. . . . "
"Ha . . . Yeah, your right Dokugakuji. . . lets continue"
Both of them continue to train without know how much time has passed by since they started. . . . They would have still be continuing, if not a certain someone came running up to them
\tump- tump- tump- tump . . . [running sound] /
"Neeeeeeeeeeiiiiiii! Oni-chaaaaaaan! "
Out of nowhere, a girl with green eyes and orange hair tide back in a pony tail comes running up to her brother
"Huh? What is it Lirin?"
"Don't you want to get a break sometimes? Haven't you already been training the whole night? Don't you want some sleep? "
". . . .Yeah maybe you're right. . . Dokugakuji, we're taking a little break, we'll be continuing so make sure your ready when I call you back here"
Before Dokugakuji can answer anything back, he is interrupt by Lirin's whine
"Then can we go outside? I'm already soooooo bored just sitting around in the castle all day! Nei oni-chan, can we go see the baldy Sanzo and his group?"
"Maybe later, right now your brother needs to train . . . he needs to get stronger, so that next time when he sees them he is surely going to defeat them and take their scripture!"
"Che. . . [In a quiet voice] I'll go see that baldy Sanzo, and his group, take the scripture, and then this way nii-chan wouldn't have to go through all this training! And it will also make this boring day more interesting!"
|a hotel in a random town|
\Churp/ \Churp/
\Nei, nei Konzen!/ the same young boy ran to his golden hair guardian
\What is it Goku?, If it's about taking me out to see those two idiots, you should know what I would answer you./
\But Konzen ~, I bored aaaaa! Because every time I see you doing so much work I want to take you out and go play, or maybe just walk around to the garden or something, na! na ! Konzen [ *] ! we can go have a picnic! Pretty pleaseeee with cherry on top? naaa~ Konzen!/
\Shut up! . . . .You're giving me a headache with all that whining you did. I know you're bored, but you know that it's not possible for me cause of all the paper work I'm having; If you want to complain about it on someone go do it to the goddamn old lady [* the merciful (less) god/goddess *] ! Now leave me alone and go do something ok ?/
\Che. . . Konzen you meanie, maybe if Nataku isn't gone I can go play with him . . . /
[. . . . .]
"I'm dreaming about this people again? . . . this Konzen and Nataku person, who exactly are they . . ."
\Knock!/ \Knock!/
"Goku? Are you awake yet? Please quickly come down and I'll get you some food! Oh and please get ready ok? We're going to depart in about 2 hours."
". . . .Um. . . . Huh? It's morning already? . . . Those dream . . . they all felt so real, was it really once part of my memories?"
"Goku! Did you hear me? I'll be waiting down stairs in the kitchen then!"
"Oh? Ok Hakkai! Coming!"
\Oh well. . . I guess I should let it go. . .since it wasn't as disturbing as the previous ones and since Sanzo already decides to take this detour just for me, I'll have to act normal so this way they won't have to worry about me again ! /
And with that Goku dashes down stairs to the lobby where the rest of the Sanzo party is, [except Hakkai who is now in the kitchen]
"Well! Good morning to our favorite monkey ~! Hey you feeling better Goku?"
"Yeah, but you know what? If I get to that good smelling thing over there [pointing to the kitchen], I bet I'll be completely healed!. . . . Well then see you later, you perverted Kappa!"
"Hey ! What is that supposed to mean ! You dumb monkey?"
\Hakkai what's that good smelling thing you've got!Oh well then "italakimasu!"!/
\Well that's . . . ahh! Goku careful it's still hot!. . . it seems that it doesn't bother you. . ./
While the hungry Goku and his motherly figure Hakkai are quivering in the kitchen [ with the food] , Gojyo and Sanzo are outside talking about what to do next
"Oi, monk . . . aren't you happy to see your pet monkey back the way he once was and not that . . . wounded animal yesterday? [Even though his characteristic is still a little off]"
"Well he's much easier to handle when he like this. . . But I do appreciate it when he's quiet; it's not as noisy and not to mention as annoying."
"Hahaha, yeah! But if he's that quiet, where's the fun in teasing him around! . . . Now all jokes aside; are you really serious about going to the yokai prince for help? I mean there can be tons of consequences that can come after that, you sure you still want to do it that way?"
". . . .Well why don't you use your head kappa and come up with something better than that. We all know that, it's not possible. . . . Besides letting him help is the only choice we have left, since none of us have anything that can help him"
"Why? You know that you might lose your scripture in the process right? This why all the thing we have worked on this far will all be in vane; what if Kogaiji decide to betray us and make use of Goku to take the scripture? What if we can't convince him to help and he ends up attacking us? You know that Goku still shouldn't fight in his state right?"
*silence*
"Oi. . . . Aren't you going to say something Sanzo?"
". . . "Something". . . "
After receiving a quick angry "hey" From Gojyo, Sanzo continues
"I know what you mean Gojyo; no matter how we might be able to convince him, the fact that he is still our enemy won't change. I'm not going to let my guard down when he's around. . . and you better do that too kappa, I'm not going to go save your sorry ass if anything happens [ small text] I already have enough trouble with the monkey. "
[Hontou castle]
"Lirin- samaaaa? Where are you? Lirin- samaaaa?"
Yaone, ran through all the hallways; searching every nook and cranny. She ran all over the place, and still no Lirin. It was nearly lunch time for her and so as Lirin's "caretaker" she is [force] to go hunt down the midget princess and get her to the dining room. But no matter how much she searched there was no hope.
\Where on earth can you be Lirin - sama~? Aaaah! What should I do? /
Freshly finish from his [super long] training session; walking out of the training ground [followed by Dokugakuji], Kogaiji spots Yaone looking around. Since our prince has a serious "sister complex" problem, he asks Yaone out of curiosity.
[. . . .]
"What are you doing here Yaone? Weren't you supposed to look after Lirin?"
"Ahh! Kogaiji-sama! And Dokugakuji-san. . . . I'm just wondering, have you seen Lirin-sama anywhere? I already searched the whole castle, and still I can't find her. Do you have any idea where I can find her?"
"Lirin is missing? [Mental shout - where are you my lovely sister ~!] Hmmm . . . the last time I saw her was this morning, while I was training. I wonder where she is now"
"Kou, didn't you remember you sister saying something about being bored and going to see the Sanzo party? [A/n – I never knew Dokugakuji has good memories = w =]
"She might be there, Yaone, Dokugaku, get your dragons ready. We'll be paying a little visit to the Sanzo party. [Obviously get Lirin back . . . (a/n - or is it . . .? * w *)]"
"Yes Kogaiji-sama"
"Let's go get our little trouble maker back!"
|in a random city |
"Everyone are you ready yet? If we don't leave soon we might not reach the next town before sunset!"
"Oiiii~ Sanzoooo! Gojyoooo! Let's go already! I don't want to eat outside today! [As in camping outside]"
" All you think about is food isn't it you ignorant brat? It's not I want to be slow, blame it all on the monk he was the one holding me up!"
\bang/ \bang/
"Waaah! That was dangerous! Can't you think before you act you damn monk!"
". . . Shut up . . . quickly get in that car so we can all get going already, Hakkai start the jeep up already, if the kappa isn't getting up here we're going to leave him behind."
"Yes, yes. . . . Ah it's such a beautiful day isn't it?"
But before Hakkai can start up the car, a loud laughter echoes through the whole town [at least that is what it seems like] as the little trouble [you know who] maker descends from the sky [from her flying dragon] and landing on the ground in front of the jeep with a loud *thumb* noise and points a finger at the party.
"Baldy Sanzo and his group! I'm here to take the scripture! Give it now or I'll have to take it by force!"
[. . . .] *Whisper*
"Sanzo. . .oii. . .Sanzo. . ."
". . . What?. . ."
"If Lirin is here, wouldn't that mean that Kogaiji also is somewhere near here? [or at least going to come here since his sister is here] isn't this our chance to finally get to the prince, and with some luck get him to help?"
"Hmmm. . . your actually being smart here kappa, ok so what should we do until Kogaiji is here? "
With that Hakkai butts into the conversation and gave the group [except Goku who was now deep in this thoughts, an doesn't seem to really care what is happening ( obviously thinking about his dreams) ] a brilliant idea
"Why Sanzo~ aren't you the right person for this job? As I see that every time she pops up your usually the one that she clings to right? Why don't go use that skill of yours and stall her until Kogaiji is here? I'm sure you can do it right? ~ [*evil smile*]" [a/n – Hakkai sure is scary isn't he?]
Kind of in shock Sanzo answers back. . .
". . . .Ok . . . If you say so . . . here I go. . . "
And Sanzo got out of his seat and walks to Lirin
"Hahahaha! So you're giving up aren't you? Hehehe if you give the scripture to me now I might think about sparing your lifes!"
[Mental scream!- Arggh! Can't stand it anymore . . . and it's not even lifes it lives you little annoying brat!]
*Whack* *whack* [paper fan attack!]
"You idiot! I'm trying to get you to play with me and if you annoy me any longer I'm surely going to put a hole in your head! So shut up and come at me whenever you're ready!" [*inner crying* why am I the only one who have to be doing this "monkey number 2"?]
"Ouch~ . . . What? Really? You really mean that you are going to play with me? Wait . . . . You must be a Fake Sanzo! The real one will never do something like that!"
". . . .Urgh [angry marks all over his head] ####. . . .Here take this meat bun"
Taking the meat bun out of nowhere [a/n- is that also where he keeps his harisen? = w =''] and throws it at the "monkey number 2" who caught it with glee
"Ooooh! Yaaay food! *munch!* oooh and it's good!"
Back in the jeep, the rest of the party is laughing their ass off. None of them knew that Sanzo could pull off a stunt like that. But even with all the laughing going on, Goku is still deep in his thoughts; because now whenever he closes his eyes he can always get glimpse of the dream he had, of the happy and horrible things he dreamt about and he is feeling that something. . . no. . .a lots of things are still missing from them and he is itching for the answer. So Hakkai and his partner Gojyo try to talk to Goku so that he will calm down
"Goku, please don't worry about it too much about your dreams ok? I know that your former memories are precious and important to you . . . but do you know what? The present you is more important because it is what you are now, Goku. . ."
"But Hakkai, it hurts just knowing only glimpse of who you once were . . . I want to know more about myself! Why can't I even do that? Why can't I know myself? "
"Oi, Calm down Goku! Didn't you remember we are now on this detour just for you? And take a look at Sanzo- sama over there! He even trying [I think, *inner evil laugh*] his best to stall that Lirin just for you!"
"Huh? What are you talking about? Why is Sanzo stalling Lirin? It's not like we want anything from her right?"
"Um . . . well that's because. . ." "Well monkey that's because. . ."
But before Gojyo and Hakkai can finally answer Goku's question . . .
"What are you doing with my sister Sanzo?"
Just like his sister, the prince and his party descends from the sky on their dragons and lands where Sanzo and Lirin is
"Ah! Oni-chan! So you finally came out of your training! But what are you doing here?"
"Yes I have; and the reason that I'm here is because it's already past your lunch time, why are you at the castle?"
"Che. . . Cause its soo boring there! Why can't I go out to see baldy Sanzo?"
". . . anyways Kou, since we're here already why not we have some fun before we go back?"
"Well Son Goku why don't you come down here and we can have a nice small brawling together?"
But instead of Goku, it was Hakkai and Gojyo who stepped out of the car and walk to stand next to Sanzo, who with a clear loud voice says. . .
"You might not believe us . . . but we are in need of your help"
"HUH?"
To be continue! [?] o w o
