Sorry if the end of the last chapter was confusing. I was half asleep when I wrote it and I didn't really know what to add next. But I got some help and came up with this!

Thank you all for the wonderful reviews!


Chapter 10: Will you miss her?

"First off, none of us are Sanzo." Gojyo said annoyed. "You've got the wrong room."

"Second off, you have no chance of beating us!" Goku said as he pulled out his staff.

"What's going on?" Christy asked as she opened the door and walked in.

"Stay behind us Meng-Xin!"

"Ack!"

Later

It was a fairly short battle. Lots of youkai, but they were quickly taken care of. Nothing unusual at all.

"Well that was anti-climactic," Meng-Xin commented. "By the way Gojyo. I came in here to tell you that I didn't tell anyone that you are gay. So you are free to go and... yeah..."

"What?!" he gasped. "In that case, goodbye kids! I have some grown-up business to attend to." With that he walked out the door and left them in silence.

"So what now?" Meng-Xin asked.

"I don't know," Goku answered. "What do you want to do?"

"I don't know..."


With Sanzo and Hakkai

"Sanzo? Are you awake?" Hakkai asked.

"What do you want?" Sanzo replied.

"I was just wondering if you really think it's a good idea for us to just leave Meng-Xin, I mean Christy, here when we get better?"

"What choice do we have?" he responded. "She'll only get in our way. Besides, we knew from the beginning that she would only be with us for a few days. You shouldn't't have gotten attached."

"Don't be like that Sanzo. I'm just saying that it might not be a good idea for us to just leave her here."

"Why not?"

"You want to leave a young girl in a big scary town like this?" Hakkai fake-gasped with his hand over his heart. "I didn't know you were that heartless!"

"So you want her to stay with us?" Sanzo raised an eyebrow.

"She just seems so happy with us," Hakkai replied. "It makes me feel kind of bad that we have to just leave her."

"You shouldn't't have gotten so attached to her."

"I guess she just has that effect on people. If I said I wouldn't't miss her, I'd be lying. Are you sure you won't miss her?"

"She's not as annoying as the other two idiots, but not by much. I will admit that it was different to have a girl around, but I can't really say that I will miss her. "

"..."

"..."

"...Sanzo, do you really mean that?"

"What do you think?"

"I think that being sick has affected your brain."

"..."


Elsewhere...

"That food was good!" Meng-Xin said.

"Yeah, but I'm starting to get hungry again!" Goku whined.

"But we just finished eating ten minutes ago!" she reminded him. "You're such a monkey!"

And this little conversation continued all the way until they noticed a sleeping person on the side of the road.

"Greg?"

"Who?" Goku asked.

"My little brother..."


"You know Jiroshin," Kanzeon Bosatsu turned and looked at her assistant. "I think it's about time I went down there."

"What are you planning to do to them? And did you really have to bring that boy here too?"

"Why not? It's just more fun this way!"


Okay people. I'm really sorry about this being so late, but a lot has been going on around here. I mean, it's the Holiday Season! Cut me some slack!

I found out that there are at least three guys at my school that like me in that way. Being the modest person I am, it all confuses me. To top it off, I have a writer's block. So the next chapter might be late too. But I'll try really hard to get it done on time!

As for the pairing of this story. Out of the few people who have reviewed this story, most of you guys want it to be Sanzo and Meng-Xin/Christy. Did you guys not think about the age difference? I told you guys in either chapter 4 or 5 (can't remember) about how old she is.

So basically, I'm using it as an excuse to tone down the romance by... a lot. I've never tried to write romance so it would be kinda weird. There will be a small amount of hints (such as the one in this chapter and the last chapter) and a bigger moment at the end. Only. No long dramatic kiss and/or him asking her to marry her. Is Sanzo even allowed to marry? Hmm...

Thank you again for the wonderful reviews!
