Hello again, everyone!

Sakura02: I didn't get you sick! Suck it up!

nsomniacartist: She's lived with the guys so long, nothing really fazes her much anymore.

XxBloodyRiverxX: Well, I've already got the nine other Baby Universe stories going on. Was there another one you had specifically in mind?

Thanks: i love athrun, SonYukiGoku'sSister, H-Dawg-luvs-anime, SinisisterGinny, and SaiyukiSucker for reviewing!

Meika blinked as she stood at Hakkai's side. Only, he looked different. His hair was slightly longer and the woman in the cell was calling him Gonou. Meika noticed Hakkai's hands trembling as he spoke to the woman. She reached out to grasp it but her hand went right through his.

She blinked again and now she was standing beside a much younger Gojyo. He was trembling from his collapsed position against the wall as a woman approached him with an axe. As Meika tried to scream for Gojyo to move, the scene faded.

Now she saw a young Sanzo standing over the dead body of a man in priest robes. She had never before seen Sanzo look so sad and broken before. She wanted to hug him and let him know it would be okay but she couldn't reach him.

Goku was trapped in the rock he had taken her to so long ago. He was reaching for the dead body of a little yellow bird. The sound of Goku's crying made Meika want to cry.

"Meika, wake up." The loving voice of Hakkai cooed.

She slowly opened her eyes to find herself curled up against Hakkai. She sat up and immediately sat herself in Hakkai's lap and hugged him tightly. Despite Hakkai's gentle prodding, Meika refused to tell him what troubled her. Instead, she simply buried her head in his chest and refused to loosen her grip.

When Gojyo returned, Meika leapt from Hakkai's lap and latched onto Gojyo. Gojyo blinked before picking her up and holding her in his arms. "I couldn't find him. I searched everywhere but the fog is too thick."

Meika tilted her head as she paused in her playing with Gojyo's hair. "Who were you looking for?"

Hakkai looked fully around the cave for the first time. "Where's Goku?"

Gojyo raised an eyebrow and winced as Meika gave a particularly hard tug on his hair. "You haven't told them yet?"

Sanzo sighed and rubbed his temples. "Goku hasn't returned from getting water. Hakuryuu is missing too." He barely had time to catch Meika as she attempted to make a run for it while Gojyo had to practically hold Hakkai down. "The monkey is already missing. The last thing we need is for you to go missing too." Sanzo snarled.

"But, what if GoGo's hurt?" Meika whined out.

"You stay in here with Hakkai." Sanzo said firmly. "Hakkai, don't you dare try and leave. His objective is you. You'll be playing into his hands if you leave." With that, he and Gojyo slipped out of the cave.

Meika reluctantly sat back over by Hakkai. She leaned against his side. "HaHa, who're Hyakugan Maou?"

Hakkai nearly jumped out of his skin. "Where did you hear that name?"

"When I was asleep." Meika shifted nervously under Hakkai's intense gaze. "I heard you and ZoZo talking." Gently, Meika placed both her hands on top of one of Hakkai's trembling ones. She smiled warmly at him. "It's okay. I know GoGo will be okay so don't worry about him."

Hakkai returned the smile. "You and Goku are very close, aren't you?"

"Yup!" Meika nodded enthusiastically. Her head suddenly perked up as a familiar voice floated through the cave. She leapt up and ran out of the cave with Hakkai close behind her. Her eyes lit up. "GoGo!" She ran over and hugged him tightly.

Goku grinned and lifted her into the air. He rubbed his nose against hers. "Hi, Meika-chan!"

Meika frowned and wriggled away from Goku. She stepped back and looked at him apprehensively. Something was wrong but she couldn't quite place her finger on it. She finally noticed and frantically looked around. "Where's Hakuryuu?"

Goku shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. I'm sure he'll show up eventually."

Sanzo frowned and pointed a gun at Goku's head. He glanced out of the corner of his eye to make sure Meika didn't attempt to interfere. He could see he didn't have to worry, though.

Meika was glaring angrily at the now nervous looking Goku. "You're not my GoGo!"

Goku chuckled nervously. "What are you talking about, Meika-chan?" He turned his attention back to Sanzo only to have a bullet shot in between his eyes.

"Because GoGo doesn't call me Meika-chan. Only, Meika or MeiMei." Meika huffed out as the body fell to the ground. She watched as the body crumbled away and only a tile remained. She tugged on Gojyo's hand until he finally picked her up.

Gojyo grinned as he looked around. "Hey, you've really pissed of Sanzo-sama and Chibi-chan. You might wanna come out."

Chin Yi-So cackled as he appeared through the fog. "Wow, you guys are amazing! I underestimated you guys! How'd you figure it out? I thought it was a well made doll."

Sanzo simply rolled his eyes. "It's simple. The first words out of that idiot's mouth are always 'I'm hungry'."

Meika frowned as she wriggled out of Gojyo's arms. Now that the fake Goku was gone, there was still the question of where the real Goku was. She was about to walk away when Chin Yi-So called to her.

"Now, Little One, you shouldn't wander off on your own." Chin Yi-So cackled.

"I'm going to go find my GoGo." Meika stated simply.

"You better bring that damn monkey back." Sanzo said plainly as he lit another cigarette.

"Okay." Meika skipped off into the fog to go find Goku.

Blah, kind of short. Sorry about that. But hey, a short chapter is better than nothing, right?
