Note : Alright my fellow fans...finally,the next chapter is up.Sorry for the delay.It's because of the constant boredom that's been plaguing me,my brain is kinda stuck to reproduce ideas (as stated in the bio).But luckily i managed to think this idea out before my brain's gear went off.I kinda adopted Kazuya-sensei's idea of the monk who were the friend of Koumyou,who once visited and bringing with him was a little boy.I adopted that idea and change it so that i won't violate the copyright. (Don't sue me,it's not worth it).This time it's Genjo Sanzo who received a visit from another fellow Sanzo whom he knew that he is his late-teacher's friend (not Ukoku,alright?) and that person is bringing a troublesome child with him.Be prepared to read the troublesome journey in Sanzo's daily diary...all happens in the same lil' town and the same temple named Chou An.The cute saru is still available,don't worry.Read and review,for each of your review will ensure a better chapter.

You'd think you've got rid of your annoying problems by bringing him in, but not quite.Nightmare just begun for Sanzo who risk his own freedom by bringing the heavenly boy.

A Troublesome Visit

A year has passed and the cold winter season has ended.Now is the time of the spring,where all the creatures woke up from their slumber to greet the new season.The birds flew back from their migrating trip,chirping merrily as they went by,the sky were crisp blue,the trees were once again lush green.The flowers spreads out their petals and waved harmoniously in the spring breeze,as if they were dancing in joy to greet the spring season.Tis is the season of life,where everything went back from dull to full life.And i really mean,full life.

"GOKU!!!!!!"

A stern male voice echoed through the hallway in the Chou An temple.It was Sanzo,and in his hands were two small dogs,pretty much muddied for the two canines were picked up by Goku from a nearby town.Everyday was the same thing,Goku always brings in animals into the temple,from rabbits to frogs,to dogs even to snakes.That holy temple seemed to have turned into a zoo.Sanzo had to re-scheduled his busy work to dedicate his never-ending chase to whup Goku's ass,not to mention being an animal control as his part time job.The saru,upon hearing Sanzo's 'displeased' voice,makes a run for it,faster than you can say Bakasaru backward.

"Na Sanzooooo~~ Don't be mad!!!" Goku said as he runs off in high speed,amazingly able to dodge every obstacles in his path without even looking forward.Trailing behind him is the young monk,with a twitching eye,numerous veins pops out from his head throbbing madly,and his trusty paperfan wielded in his right hand.Where the hell did he put the two dogs just now?Seems like Sanzo already gave the two dogs away to a monk while he is passing by so that he can have enough room to hold that one thing that can discipline that little brat Goku.The almighty paperfan.The two of them chased each other,dodging every surprised monks who each of them having their own scream trying to dodge the runaway duo,until they reached the door on the main hallway that leads to outside.Goku,seeing that there is a commotion in front of him,stopped in his tracks with a trail of dust trailing behind him resulted from the sudden brake,and wondered curiously,not knowing that Sanzo is directly right behind him.

"Kono....." Sanzo started,gasping for some air after all that marathon across the temple.Goku spunned around and was shocked to find out that Sanzo already managed to catch up with him.Grinning sheepishly,he hoped in his heart that Sanzo will forgive him.He hoped and he hoped and he hoped,scratching his head which is at that time wasn't really that itchy as he turns to another of his secret weapon...the puppy dog eyes.Sanzo merely stared down at him,his right hand is high up in the air,holding the paperfan.A few minutes passed....then Sanzo shows a sign that he's not going to beat the kid up.Maybe that weapon did worked after all.

".....bakasaru!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Sanzo as he swacked the almighty paperfan directly on Goku's head,delivering his holy judgment to the young sprite.

"Itai yo,Sanzo!!!!!" the boy yelled in pain,holding onto his throbbing head. 

Maybe not.....

"How many times do i have to tell you,DON'T bring the animals IN!!" Sanzo said as he proceeds with his punishment,by pulling both of Goku's ears. "I'm raised to be a SANZO,get it?? Not an animal controller where i have to put those animals back outside!!"

"Mou...." Goku pouted,as he struggles to break free from Sanzo's grip.He suddenly remembered about the commotion right in front of him and instantly he asked Sanzo who were already noticed it."Na Sanzo..what's going on over there?" he asked,pointing his finger directly towards the scene.

"How should i know?" Sanzo replied.Looking around,he grabbed the nearest monk to ask a few questions. "Hey,what's going on over there?" he asked.The monk,merely stared at him,is very much surprised.

"Why,Sanzo-sama." he said. "Didn't you know that another Sanzo from a nearby land are visiting this temple? You should know that from the elder." he said.Sanzo stared at the monk for awhile,then lets him off.Ruffling his golden mane,he sighs.Indeed he has forgotten about it.He's too busy chasing the saru that he'd forgotten everything important.

"Visitor huh....?" Sanzo said.He didn't really love visitors much,especially if that person is another of the Sanzos'.He already had enough of that last visit from a monk his late-teacher knew.The man was mysterious in some sort of the way,bringing with him a boy,much younger than Genjo himself,with the same golden hair who's obsessed with stuff dolls.What's the boy's name again? Didn't remember.Sanzo's memory is to foggy to be recalled,and he has no intention to bring that memory back up again.The past are already the past.It's not worth to be called back.

"Oi Sanzo!!" Goku suddenly called out to Sanzo.Sanzo snapped out of his world and looks down onto Goku with his violet eyes.

"Nanda?" flatly Sanzo replied.

"You didn't answer my question." the young boy said,pouting his mouth in a cute manner. "And who's that guy over there? I've never seen him before."

"There's another Sanzo visiting this temple today,so i want you to behave nicely today or you will get it.Understood?" the young monk said,giving Goku a stern glare,so stern,it makes Goku gulped nervously.The young boy nodded,agreeing,not wanting to be punished by the punishment that Sanzo has in store for him.

"Good.Now let's go."

"Na Sanzo."

"Nanda???"

"Am i going to get some treats from that Sanzo if i behaved nicely?" Goku said,his eyes shone brightly,hoping Sanzo will say yes.Strangely enough a dog's tail wagging madly pop out suddenly out of Goku,as seen on the manga sometimes.

"Urusai,baka!!" Sanzo replied,whacking the saru once more with the paperfan and tugs him along,gripping firmly onto Goku's shirt collar,into the temple.

******************************

"My my,you've grown pretty tall,Genjyo." the old Sanzo said,smiling.He was one of Koumyou's fellow friend,which often makes a short visit back in the old days,when Koumyou was still alive.No,this is not Ukoku.Surely Koumyou had a lot of friends.The man has a vivid image of Koumyou,by the smiling that always stays on his aged face.His eyes were mild green,and his hair was already near white,but still has the hair colour ; brownish black.

"It's been a long time since i last saw you." Sanzo replied,sipping onto some tea...or was it beer disguised as a tea in that tea cup?

CRASH!!!

"Yes,yes.Been long since his death." the old man added,nodding away. "But you manage to adapt pretty well after his passing.You're pretty attached with him."

KA-CHING!!!!

"Are you trying to imply that i'm a weak person?" Sanzo replied,rather pissed off at the remark,but still manage to restrain himself from shouting that out loud.Still,a numerous veins pop out from his head.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE

"Ahaha,no no.Don't get me wrong,Genjyo." the man laughed.Sipping his tea,he glances to a corner where two figures playing with each other off. "They've got along pretty well,ne?"

"Ugh.." Sanzo remarked.Why did he say like that? You'll know in a while.

*flashback*

"Genjyo Sanzo is here to greet you,Sanzo-sama." the young monk said as he bow politely to the old visitor.The monk turns around and was delighted to see his old friend's disciple once more.

"Oh Kouryuu.It's been a long time." he said as he walks towards the young monk,smiling.

"My name is no longer Kouryuu." Sanzo replied,correcting the old monk's mistake in an edgy tone in his voice.The old monk merely laugh,a cheery laugh at his response.

"Sou sou,wakatta yo,Kouryuu." he said,saying the name 'Kouryuu' once more to tease the young boy. "Genjyo Sanzo,is it?"

"Like you heard it."

"Sanzo-sama! That's not the way to treat an old high priest!" a lowly monk remarked at Sanzo's behaviour,which instantly replied back by Sanzo's dagger-like glare.

"No no it's alright.He's my friend's disciple so i'm quite in ease with whatever he said." the old priest reassured the boy,which the boy understood and leave them two alone with their business.As he said that,he noticed a young boy,peering over behind from Genjyo's robe. "Oh,is that your disciple?"

"What?"

"That.The one who's hiding behind you."

"No,he's just my pet."

"Nani??" Goku growled out as he jumps from behind him. "I'm not a dog to be your pet!!!!"

"Oh,yeah.You're a pet monkey."

"GAH!!!" Goku yelled out,staring at the young monk with his golden eyes for awhile,then stomps off to the nearest tree,mumbling something about a mean droopy-eyed monk,which Sanzo could hear perfectly.

"No doubt,he's your disciple." the man said,smiling to Genjyo.The young monk merely stared right back at him,wondering what's with all this creepy smile is all about.Reminds him of that creepy boy and his teacher.

"Whatever you say,Sanzo-sama." sighed Genjyo out loud.

"It's a good thing you have a company to accompany mine."

"What?"

"I too have my own beloved disciple."

Oh no.

"Really? How nice." Genjyo replied,with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.Oh please tell him that the old man didn't bring the child with him. "Did you bring him along?"

Say no.Say no.Say no.Say no.Say no.Say no.Say no.Say no.Say no.

"In a matter of fact yes,i did bring him along with me."

"Sugoi sugoi!! A boy to play with!!" Goku cheerfully blurt out,jumping up and down with his right cheek being pink.

"Drats.Just what i need...another brat..." mumbled Sanzo under his breath. "So....i don't see the young kid."

"Mayamasu!" the old monk called out.Just as he called out,a young boy,in the age of 9 popped out running towards them.He has the eyes that is the same color as Goku's ; gold,with a brownish choc hair and a smile so sweet you could swore he came from the heavens.But Sanzo didn't think so.Oh no.He knew that beneath all that cute and angelic exterior,there must be a devil in that child.Example ; Goku.

"Hai,sensei!" the young boy replied as he went next to him,hugging the legs of the old man lovingly.

"Now now,Mayamasu.Don't do that in front of the people." the old monk chirped at his young disciple,then went back to the conversation with Genjyo Sanzo. "Ah,this is my disciple,Mayamasu."

"Nice to meet you!" grinned the young boy.

"Mayamasu? ...isn't that name means..." Sanzo blurted out.

"Yes yes,' trouble '. His parents called him that..his late parents." the man replied. "But i don't see any troubles with him.He's such a nice little boy.He hardly ever make any mischievious acts or somesort."

*****************************

"Yeah.....hardly...." Sanzo muttered under his breath after the flashback is ended.All that talk saying about him being angelic is nothing but a lie anyway.Proof ? The constant crashing and banging you can hear in the background.

CRASHH!!!!!!

"Oops...hey,that was the 19th statue you've broken today! You're gonna get us into trouble!"

"Nah,don't worry.I'm sure my teacher and yours won't mind."

".........i hope....."

The whispering they kept hushing at each other so that Sanzo wouldn't hear is merely a futile act.Sanzo still able to hear all those conversation,and each conversation makes a vein or two pops out from his head.

"Are you alright,Genjyo?" the old Sanzo asked,as he was quite surprised that the young monk is visibly seen shaking in his seat.

"No..i'm...practically...fine,thank you..." Genjyo Sanzo replied to reassure the old visitor,as he tried to keep still.He managed to stop shaking,but his right eye remains twitching violently. "Didn't you hear all that racket going on in the background?" Sanzo asked to the man.

"Hmm?" he replied,his mild green eyes shifted from his cup of tea to Sanzo. "Yes yes,i can.They're really having a lot of fun,ne? Genjyo."

Yeeeeess.....fuuuuun........fun until i whack the butt of those two brats with my fan.That should be more fun.

"May i be excused,Sanzo-sama?" Genjyo Sanzo asked politely.

"You may.Besides,i must go on with the reason i'm here.I'll see you again this evening,to pick up my disciple."

"Thank you."

So off Sanzo went,stomping all the way through the hall,and into the prayer chamber.Nobody needs to tell him where the two brats is,by using those constant crashing sound as a guide,he manage to predict where they is.Opening the great door with the greatest of ease,not to mention the loudest crash you ever heard,he could see two figures huddling over some crashed ornaments.

"Goku!!!" Sanzo yelled out.Goku who is busy cleaning the crap up nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard the furious yell.He slowly turns his head around to see Sanzo,standing right in front of the door looking rather 'displeased'.

"Ahah.....S...Sanzo.....hiya.." Goku stammered,grinning his way as he waves his hand at the young monk.

"What the heck did you guys do in this room???" Sanzo said,furiously tugging onto Goku's right ear. "You've been crashing and banging the stuff in the room since the morning!! Those stuffs were EXPENSIVE and VALUABLE!!"

"Itai itai itai itai!!!!" Goku yelped as he tried to break free from the ear pinching. "Mou Sanzo! It's not me who did it! I just merely stayed in the corner! He did it!!" the young boy said,pointing to the next boy beside him,who were acting cluelessly about what had happened.

"Mayamasu....did you do all this?" Sanzo asked,rather pissed off.Surely you can be pissed off if some brat entered your domain and crashed everything it touches.

"Gomen,Genjyo Sanzo-sama.I didn't mean to do it.It kinda....slipped off my hands." the young boy apologized sweetly,his gold eyes bear the same puppy dog power that Goku has,only that his were more powerful than Goku's.Instantly Sanzo is melted at the sight of those eyes,and heaves a sigh.

"Please...if you guys want to play,then go outside.What the heck is the use of playing inside?? Now go scram!!!" the young monk yelled as he booted the two of them outta the nearest window,as the two boys pointed at each other,saying it was your fault at each other as well.Sighing,Sanzo stormed back down the hall and into his study room.He locked the door,sat down on his chair,opens todays newspaper and puff a smoke out of his newly litted cigarrette.

The atmosphere were calm and tranquil...no disturbing sound,and most especially no disturbing saru and his newly found friend.Things were getting along just fine.The clock on the wall ticks away the time,as Sanzo peels each pages he'd read to read a new news on the havoc world he's living on.Then suddenly out of the blues,he could swore that something jumping up and down near the window behind him.When he turned around,nothing there.When he turned back to his paper,something jumped up again.He does this a few couple of times and after missing a few,he timed the next movement and instantly he slammed the window open.There,outside the window were Goku and his companion,Mayamasu,jumping in front of the window,making faces in front of it.And during the time Sanzo went out,it was Goku's turn to do it,and he did it in a bad time.

"Eheh....Sanzo...nice weather we're having eh?" Goku tried to change the subject.

"Kono..." the young monk muttered as he rolled his paper into a tight cylinder,then faster than you can see,he swung the paper in full force directly onto saru's head. "BAKASARU!!!!!!!" he yelled out,along with the loudest whacking sound echoed into the air.

******************

It was nearly evening that day,and Sanzo heaves a sigh of relieve that soon,the other troublesome boy will go home with his master and all the troubles will be gone.Well...at least the trouble will be lifted a bit....lounging on the chair,he stared at the clock,ticking away as he stared at it.The way he stared at it,you must think that he could win the national competition of eye staring.Just as he thought things were getting fine,sounds of commotion can be heard just outside the room of his.

"Shit...what now?"

He opened the door to find a group of monks,all covered in flour.With all those white stuff on their bodies,they look like a bunch of bald headed ghosts.

"What happened here?" Sanzo asked out to them.

"Sanzo-sama!" one of them cried out.

"Now don't call me like i'm some sort of a hero rescuing your sorry asses." Sanzo said as he puffs a smoke out of his nearly burnt cigarrette. "What's with all this white powder on you?"

"Those two childrens were playing a prank on us,Sanzo-sama!" another cried out.

"A prank?...As in..?"

"They put a bucket of flour on top of the main door.When we opened it,the bucket fell down and hitted us with the flour."

"The lesson is to watch first,then enter." Sanzo remarked.

"Sanzo-sama!" the monks said,exasperated.

"Alright,alright,show me where they are."

Sanzo is then took to the place where the incident happened.There's not a sight of them two,only a bucket of flour sprawling on the floor.Investigating the place,he heard a small chuckle right from the room beside the main door.

"You're dead meat." Sanzo said under his breath once more.And trailing from the door,a long rope is seen entering into the room.Seems like the two of them is indeed hiding inside there.Opening the door quietly,he could see the two of them huddling at the corner.In Goku's hands were the rope but he looks a bit sorry for the monks.

"Hey...isn't this a bit mean?" Goku said to the young boy next to him,who were chuckling away.

"Relax...It's not that we're doing this often.Just this once." the young boy replied.

"And for once,i too wanted to whack both of you into kingdome come!!!" Sanzo blurted out,out of the   sudden.

WHACK!! THUD!!! THWACK!!!

**********************

The sun is setting,the birds flew back to their home and everything went quiet as the day changes from day to night.In front of the main hall,a group of people standing in front of it.It was Sanzo,Goku,the old monk which i dunno what to put as his name,and the boy Mayamasu.

"Thank you for taking care of Mayamasu for me,Genjyo Sanzo." the old monk thanked the young priest,bowing slightly.

"It was my pleasure." Sanzo said,bowing slightly.Goku too bowed down,and you could easily see the large bruise right on the backside of Goku's sore head. "I'm sorry you had to go so soon."

Not.

"Well,yes.It's a pity.However,it's already enough for me to be able to see you once more,Genjyo." the man said,then turns to look at the sky. "Hora...the sun is nearly down.We must go now,Mayamasu."

"Haii..Sensei.." the boy replied as he rubs his sore spot on the back of his head.

"Na Mayamasu." Goku suddenly called out.

"Nanda,Goku?"

"Nice meeting you.It was fun,thanks." Goku said,grinning as he waves at the boy. "Ja matta ne?"

"Aa..Ja." Mayamasu replied. "The same goes to you too." he smiled.

"Alright alright enough of this sappy goodbye scene." Sanzo said,rather exasperated.He had a tiring day and he really need his sleep.Besides,he got one of his migrain now. "Until we see each other again,Sanzo-sama."

"Yes,Genjyo.Until that time.Why,the two of them seems to like each other,i guess i could come for another visit in another month or so."

No no no....don't come bringing that boy anymore!!

"Yay!! Will you be bringing him too?" Goku said happily,rather unaware that all the troubles happened today were the boy's fault which is being transfered as his fault.Guess that Goku is too young and naive to know that.

"Yes,i'll be bringing him also.Until next time,Genjyo Sanzo." the old monk said,and left the Chou An temple.Sanzo is seen staring blankly into the sky when he heard that he'll be bringing the boy once more.Goku,picks up a stick and prod it to Sanzo.

"Oi oi....you better go inside or you'll catch a cold."

".....kono......"

"Ah? ...Nanda,Sanzo?"

"BAKASARU!!!"

THWACK!!!!!

And so the scene ended with Sanzo beating the crap out of Goku again under the setting red sun,shouting why the heck he had to ask that to the monk,the crows cawing and the monks clean themselves off the flour that sticks onto their body.Things are just the same in this lil town and the lil temple named Chou An.

Author's Note : Woo...major trouble in Sanzo's diary i see.Good thing i didn't torture him much in this fic....like drawing a moustache on him while he's asleep or something.Hehe....anyways,wait until the next chapter.That is after i manage to get the gears on my brain to start working again.Read and review for your review will ensure a better chapter.Ja!
