Disclaimer: I don't own Gensomaden Saiyuki or Saiyuki Gaiden. But I want to own Hakkai, Sanzo and Goku!!! But I don't own them…… they are property of Kazuya Minekura / ENIX / G-Fantasy…

Author's note: My first Saiyuki fic!!! Sugoi!!! I came up with the idea for this fic during recess time… while I was talking to Sanzo about what fic should I make for Saiyuki… (I mean I was talking to our role-play Sanzo, Jeni Rose. We are currently 'role-playing' Saiyuki… even though we're girls. Not that we're acting like tomboys or anything, we just get our role characters traits… something like that… like our Goku (Aiko) and our Gojyo (Raiza) – they usually 'fight' about food… ^^) I wrote the idea first on a piece of paper and then thought about making the fic… which I did during dismissal… ^^ So I started once again on fic writing… ^^ I even now have a notebook for my fics… ^^

Anyway, I think I better get on with the fic… I've been 'drifting far off' already… ^^' [Hakkai: Hai, soudesune… kind of. *laughs* ^-^;       Goku: *nudges the author (me) playfully* Yay! ^_^ Get on with the fic!       Sanzo: Ch'… -_-;       Gojyo: *sighs*]

Please read & review – so I can get some help, since this is my first Saiyuki fic (but the second of my fanfics… ^^) Arigatou gozaimashita!!! ^^

A Saiyuki fic

By: Suteki Hakkai, Kawaii Syaoran

Chapter 1:

The Quest; The sickness…

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

The Sanzo-ikkou is still on their way to West, and once again, we find them in the desert. It was nighttime so the breeze is pretty cool, and everything was peaceful and quiet except for the sound of the jeep running through the rough and bumpy road.

Yup, everything was quiet, until Goku's growling stomach broke the silence, causing everyone to sweatdrop.

"Sanzo, harahetta…" the boy said.

*BAM* …… Goku holds his head after getting hit by Sanzo's fan… "Itaiii…"

"Ch' bakasaru…"

So Goku turned to Hakkai. "Ne, Hakkai, aren't we there yet?"

"Anou… etou…" the man softly said, letting out a sigh.

"What now?" Sanzo noticed that there may be something wrong…

Hakkai sighed again, and took a light breath. "I don't know how to say it, but I think we've lost our way…" then he laughed uneasily, expecting a usual complaint from Goku and Gojyo…… 3, 2, 1……

"What do you mean by that? It's gonna be hard if we'll sleep out here…" Right on time. Now Goku…

Well, Goku's stomach did the talking – his stomach growled again, and because of that Goku forgot what he had to say.

"Harahetta…"

Hakkai stopped the jeep, then looked at his map. "Maybe I'm wrong… we're not lost… *laughs* Maybe we'll reach the town tonight, if there will be no disturbance along the way. If not, we'll arrive by tomorrow."

"Ah~~ I'm hungry!!!"

"Uruse, bakasaru…" Gojyo pinched Goku's cheeks. "You're ruining the peace here."

"Hey! Don't blame me! I'm hungry! …hey wait… you're ruining the peace too, cockroach kappa!!" Goku fought back.

"Why you~~~ kono bakasaru!!"

"Ero kappa!!"

…The 2 started to fight, pulling each other's cheeks harder. They were getting noisier, and this irritated the Sanzo even more.

*click*

The 2 sweatdropped (and stopped…) after seeing Sanzo who brought out his gun, with a 'vein' on his head…

"You better keep quiet and behave, or I'll kill you……"

The 2 raised their hands in surrender. "Hai…"

"Yare yare desune……" Hakkai said, smiling.

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

As they went along with their journey, the group suddenly sensed that there are some youkai coming towards them. As they thought, those youkai appeared. The 4 bishonen hopped out of the jeep and brought out their weapons………

The fight started, and continued 'till early morning. The Sanzo-ikkou won, though they came up wounded. The opponent was a bit hard to defeat since some of them knew their (the Sanzo-ikkou's) moves… "They're getting stronger everyday…" Sanzo commented.

The journey went on, and a few minutes later they realized that they were infected with poison – the wounds they got from the youkai's claws… fortunately, Hakkai got rid of the poison from himself and the others… unfortunately, Goku's poison was not removed so much because it has scattered in almost all parts of the body, because of the many wounds he had. This worried Sanzo, but he just kept silent.

Later, Goku was [kind of] screaming, in pain, due to the effects of the poison. Gojyo held Goku steady, worried… Hakkai was worried too, and he drove faster.

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

Once again, everything was quiet, as the Sanzo-ikkou drove to the next town. Sanzo was getting impatient.

"Hakkai, how far is it?"

Hakkai smiled, but he didn't answer. They were already in front of the town, which made Sanzo and Gojyo sweatdrop.

They hurried to the town, and arrived at a clinic. Gojyo put Goku on the bed, holding his hand, for he was [kind of] trembling – maybe because of the poison. Sanzo sat on a chair, and hid his worried face behind the papers. Hakkai just stood, leaning on the wall. Gojyo sat down on the floor beside Hakkai.

They waited, as Reia, the doctor examined Goku. A few minutes later, Reia faced the remaining Sanzo-ikkou with a smile, but immediately turned into a sad face.

"Well, we have a cure for the poison, though it's a bit hard to find – or to get."

"What's the cure?" Sanzo flatly said.

"Um… well…"

"Just tell us what the cure is!" Gojyo shouted with concern.

"The cure is found on a place where youkai roam, and the cure – is the red flower – named Eden. You need to find it at the cave on the farthest part of the forest. But you need to be careful – there are powerful youkais guarding that cave……"

Gojyo remembered his dark past when the doctor said 'red flower'… and he was silent for a while. He shook his head… "No… I shouldn't think about this now." He thought.

"And where is this forest?" Sanzo stood up.


Hakkai went near the door, ready to leave, just waiting for Reia's answer to Sanzo's question.

"The forest is in the north of the town, a few kilometers away…" Reia said.

"Then, shall we go now?" Hakkai opened the door, and Hakuryuu flew and landed on Hakkai's shoulder.

"Ok, let's go." Gojyo followed Hakkai.

"I'll stay here with the saru. You guys just go." Sanzo moved his chair beside Goku's bed, and then he sat down.

"Oh~" Gojyo smirked. "The monk cares for the saru, huh?"

*click*

In an instant, the gun was pointed at Gojyo –

"Are you going now or what?"

Sanzo was about to pull the trigger, so Gojyo dashed away to the front door.

"Well be back as soon as we can. Makasete kudasai…" Hakkai smiled. "Soreja…" and the door was closed.
