"So...about our deal..." she said.

"Was there a deal?" Gojyo asked.

"Do you want this antidote?" she retorted, waving the antidote in the air.

"Fine."

"Quick! Get on with your talking and stop bickering and showing the antidote into the air, kuso baba (damn hag)!" Sanzo said, starting to get annoyed.

"Well...there USED to be *two* choices...but, now..I guess you are left with the one and only choice," the "Queen" said, with a smirk on her face.

"May I ask, what were the two choices?" Hakkai said, with a smile, as always.

"It's..." the queen started to say.

"Better say it quick of the bullet's gonna go through your brains!" Sanzo said, angrily, and aimed his gun for her head.

"Ooh...I'm so scared. Well, if you kill me, you'll NEVER get your antidote for that poor little pet of yours!" she said, teasingly.

Goku's POV
Sanzo shouldn't have done that...he just SHOULDN'T!

~Flashback~
"Sanzo...Sanzo..." Goku said, trembling in his bed.

"Yes?"


"Can....can you hug me?"

Sanzo was a litle shocked for a split-second, but, with hesitating, moved forward to give Goku a big, bear hug, holding him tightly in his embrace. Goku was too shock for words and hugged Sanzo back. Soon, he fell asleep and was too tired. Even though he was asleep, he could hear Sanzo say, "Goku, get well soon, please....we're all worried about you."
~End of Flashback~

"Okay, the choices are...one, you have to sacrifice of one their lives," the queen said, pointing to Hakkai and Gojyo.

"What?!" Gojyo excliamed so loudly, that his voice echoed through the whole forest.

"Maa...maa..." Hakkai said, still with a smile plastered on his face.

"Hakkai! How can you still smile when our lives are in danger?!" Gojyo said.

Sanzo just kept quiet.

"Well, there's another choice...but, I guess you'd rather choose the first one..." she said, chuckling.

"What is it?" Gojyo said.

"Ah.....the optional one is...that the saru will have to fight me, and either one of us dies," she said, with a grin on her face.

"What? You expect that saru to fight you now, in this condition???" Gojyo said, pointing to the limp Goku in Hakkai's hands.

"Then, as I said, you are left with just ONE choice."

"Fine, then, I'll -" Sanzo was interrupted by a sound of metal dropping to the ground, and looked back.

"No way you're killing any of them!" they heard Goku say weakly.

"Goku!" Sanzo, Gojyo and Hakkai said in disbelief. Goku had taken off his golden band and is changing back to his own form, the youkai form, and charged towards the queen. The queen looked calm, and held her hands up, and chanted something in her mouth. Suddenly...

"Ahhhh!!!!!" the Saiten Teiten (Goku's youkai form) winced in pain ,holding his head.

"W-What did you do to him?" Gojyo said.

"Nothing. Just making the poison in his body spread and "attack" his whole body," she said, calmly.

"But..but he's not Goku anymore," Hakkai said.

"Well, they still share the same body, right?" she snickered.

"Still...." Hakkai mumbled.

"Hoi, better stop your chanting now!" Sanzo said.

"Nah, I'm not stupid. If I stop the chating, then he'll attack, and I'll die, hehe."

"Better stop it," Sanzo bribed. *takes out his gun*

"Ooh...if you kill me, then I'll kill him," she said, with an evil smile.

"Fine! What do you want?" Sanzo said, lowering his gun.

"Well......simple. Die!" she answered.

Hakkai and Gojyo looked up in surprise when they were halfway fastening the band back on Goku's head.

"WHAT?!" Gojyo and Hakkai said together.

"Nani?" Goku said weakly, still wincing in pain.

"The queen wants Sanzo to die in order to save your life! Baka saru!" Gojyo said to Goku.

"What?! No! Sanzo! Don't do it!" Goku shouted feebly.

"Goku..." Sanzo whispered, silently.

"So...what's your final decision?" the queen urged.

"Fine!" Sanzo said, and drops his gun.

"Hehehehe! Mum! At last! At last I get to help you seek revenge for our family!" she shouted to the sky.

"Don't shout to Heaven, she won't hear you," Sanzo said.

"Why?"

"Coz she's in Hell!" Sanzo snapped.

"How dare you!" she said, and slapped Sanzo in the face.

"Ch~"

"Now, for the 'ceremony'...." she hissed.

"NO!" Hakkai said. "Take MY life instead!"

"Uh-uh...*his* life is better....I prefer his..." she said, looking at Sanzo.

"Ugh..kuso baba!" Sanzo managed to say.

"Shut your mouth!"

"I won't."

"Die, then!" she said, and picked up Sanzo's gun.

"Stop!" Goku said.

"As you wish..but not this time..I'm enjoying this moment..." she licked her lips, and aimed directly at Sanzo's chest, and shot.

"Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Goku said, crying.

"Hehe, now's he's dead, and no one can stop me..." she said, and vanished into thin air.

"Sanzooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Goku shouted to the forest, ignoring the pain.

"Goku, here, drink this," Hakkai said, giving the antidote to Goku.

"No, I won't!" Goku said.

"Please, make Sanzo's death worth it....he died because of you, he died because he cares for you. So, drink it," Hakkai pleaded.

Gojyo picked up Sanzo's body and brought it back to their camp.

"Kuso!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Goku said, and with that, he fainted.

The next day...
They continued their journey without Sanzo. Gojyo, being understanding, sat on Sanzo's place, with was the front seat, and left Goku alone with Sanzo's body. Goku insisted on not burying Sanzo's body yet until they find a perfect place. Even though he said so, Gojyo and Hakkai understood that he didn't want to bury the body. That day, the environment was different. Goku had recovered completely, but no longer said a single word, or eaten anything, or even bicker with Gojyo as he usually did. During the evening, they reached a town, and decided to stay at an inn. At first, the inn-keeper doesn't want to let Sanzo's body in, but after some icy-cold glare from Goku, he finally gave in. They asked for two rooms, Hakkai and Gojyo, and Goku alone with Sanzo's body.

In the room...(Goku's POV)
As I looked at his face, he seemed to turn pale. I really missed his beautiful violet eyes. Now, I really wished that he could just open his eyes and whack me with his harisen, and call me "baka saru". How I wish. *tears falling on Sanzo's cheeks*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Then, he layed Sanzo's body on the bed, and he slept on the floor with a pillow. He was crying the whole night and at last, fell aslepp with a wet pillow.

The next morning...
"Gojyo! Hakkai!" Goku shouted, pounding on the door of Hakkai and Gojyo's room.

"Nani?" said a sleepy Gojyo, with messy hair.

"Sanzo! Sanzo!" Goku said, with tears in his golden eyes.

"What happened this time?" Gojyo asked.

"His body...his body...is MISSING!" Goku exclaimed.

"NANI?!?!" both Hakkai and Gojyo said in disbelief.
