"What 'bout another game of cards?" Gojyo suggested after losing to Hakkai.

Gojyo, Hakkai and Sanzo are playing a game of poker in their tent, and of course the two of them lost to Hakkai.

"Sure, what 'bout you, Sanzo?" Hakkai agreed and turned to Sanzo.

"Whatever," was the cool reply.

Thus, they started a wholenew game again.

"Ne, ano baka saru was dokp?" Gojyo said, noticing that Goku's loud, voice isn't present inside the tent.

"I heard that he's outside there doing something," Hakkai replied. sanzo made no effort to answer, but deep down inside, he was dead curious about that "pet" of his.

"What's he doing out there?" Gojyo asked again.

"No idea," Hakkai said.

"Chi," Sanzo said. Right after he said that, they heard a scream from outside. Sanzo, Hakkai and Gojyo ran straight away to the direction of the scream.

Sanzo's POV
That voice sounds ultimately familiar to me...hope not....just hope not.....please...don't let it be...

When they reached there, they saw an unconscious body laying on the ground.

"Masaka..." Hakkai said.

"Could it be..." Gojyo exclaimed.

"Hakkai, quick, go check who's body it is, laying there!" Sanzo said.

"H-Hai," Hakkai said and ran to the body and turned it over. To his surprise, it was a pale Goku laying there with his eyes closed, like a lifeless body.

"Masaka!" Gojyo said.

"Goku!!!!!!" Sanzo shouted, and ran over the Goku's lifeless body. "Quick, Hakkai! Check for any wounds and heal it straight away!" Sanzo ordered.

"Hai!" Hakkai answered.

Meanwhile, Sanzo and Gojyo waited impatiently for Hakkai to heal Goku's body.

"Ne, Sanzo...gomen nasai..." Hakkai stammered.

"Nani? Doshite???" Sanzo said.

"I can't find any wounds on his body, but......"

"But what?!" Sanzo said, clutching on Hakkai's collar.

"But there are some cuts on his body, but a purplish-black coloured blood-like liquid flowing out from the cuts," Hakkai informed.

"Nani??? Doko?" Sanzo said.

"It's around his ribs," Hakkai said.

"Try to close it then!"

"Can't. Seems like some sort of poison to me," Hakkai said.

"What?!"

Gojyo was deep in thought and said, "Ne, Sanzo is so curious 'bout this saru over here," he said teasingly.

"Baka! Stop teasing and be serious about this!" Sanzo snapped.

"Okay, okay, who will be so mean to do that to the saru?" Gojyo said, seriously.

"No idea," Hakkai said.

"..."Sanzo was deep in thoughts.

"Is there something wrong, Sanzo?" Hakkai said.

"I think.....that someone's behind these things," Sanzo said.

"Who could that be?" Gojyo said.

"The Scorpion Queen," Sanzo said, coldly. (P.S. I made up the Scorpion Queen! ^_^)

"She has fingers a poisonous as a scorpion's sting," Sanzo said.

"And, why does she wanna do it to Goku, of all people?" Gojyo asked.

"She sure has a reason....but, what?" Hakkai said, thinking hard, still holding Goku in his arms. "Hey, what's this thing?" he said, fishing out a piece of paper inside Goku's shirt, and passed it to Sanzo.

"Nani?" Sanzo said, and read the piece of paper.

It was a piece of paper folded into half and Sanzo was stunned the moment he read the paper. After looking at Sanzo's stunned face, Hakkai and Gojyo decided to read the paper too. It read:

Sanzo...mo mikka wa anata no tanjyobi desu (it'll be your birthday in another three more days)
Dakara (So), I decided to make you this card, and some nikumans...look down!

(Below, Goku drew hundreds of nikumans just for Sanzo.)

And,........................

The card was ended like that, Goku was stopped somehow by making this card, perhaps he was interrupted.......

After reading this card, Sanzo ran straight away to his room and slammed the door behind him.

"What's wrong with that corrupted monk?" Gojyo said to Hakkai.

"Just don't bother and leave him alone," Hakkai said.

"As usual. But, what do we do with this saru?" Goyjo said.

"I'll bring him into the room and let him rest.

Sanzo's POV
Why? Why did the saru do that? He shouldn't have been doing that damn card. If he didn't, he wouldn't be wounded as bad as this! Why did I let him do that? He just SHOULDN'T! That baka saru! What if...what if...he dies? No, the saru wouldn't die so easily, or will he? *tears rolling down his cheeks*

The next day...
"Sanzo! Open the door!" Gojyo pounded on the door.

"Sanzo! Are you okay?" Hakkai said.

Soon, came out a blonde wearing a black turtleneck with a pair of matching arm-warmers, with red eyes opening the door.

"S-Sanzo, are you okay?" Gojyo exclaimed after looking into his eyes.

"Yeah. Just lacking some sleep," Sanzo said. Both Gojyo and Hakkai were sensing that somehting was different since he didn't open the door last night, and, most surprisingly, Sanzo didn't snap or said anything bad to his question.

"How's Goku?" Sanzo asked instead.

"Well...he's...he's..." Hakkai stammered.

"Say it out!" Sanzo urged, turning back to his fiery temper.

"Oh, yeah? You wanna know his condition. Well, yesterday, me and Hakkai were trying to cure him, but-" Gojyo said, angrily, but was stopped by Hakkai.

"Gojyo, never mind. Sanzo'sjust in a bad mood......" Hakkai said.

"Oh, yeah? Does that mean he can just shout at us anytime he wants?"

"Well, he's just worried about Goku, that's all."

"Cut the crap! But, what?" Sanzo said, irritated.

"Well, he seems to be incurable," Gojyo said.

"NANI???!!! Isn't there an antidote???" Sanzo said, realizing that he's not the cool Sanzo anymore.

"Sorry, no," Hakkai said.

"What?" Sanzo exclaimed.

"Unless..." Hakkai voiced out.

"Unless what?" Gojyo said, curious.

"Unless, the person or whoever that hurt Goku gives us the antidote," Hakkai said.

Right after Hakkai said that, a black figure appeared.
