A Saiyuki fic

By: Suteki Hakkai, Kawaii Syaoran

Chapter 3 – Inochi (Life)

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

A few minutes later, the Kougaiji-ikkou (though Kou and Doku are in Goku and Gojyo's bodies) arrived first at the town. Since they arrived first, that means they will have to wait for the other group.

"Well, we're here…" ^Lilin^ remarked as she looked around. "What are we going to do to kill time?" she asked. "Almost no one seems to be here…"

"Wait, aren't we supposed to wait for them?" ^Yaone^ asked.

"That's why we need to do something so we won't get bored!" ^Gojyo^ replied.

"Uh… ok…" ^Yaone^ said, sweatdropping.

"Really. This is so frustrating… we'll be like this 'till tomorrow!!" ^Goku^ shouted.

"Yeah…" ^Gojyo^ replied.

"Kougaiji-sama, we need some shade… it's getting hot." ^Lilin^ cut in.

"Ah. Soudana." ^Gojyo^ said as they went to an empty house.

"Since no one is here, we'll just settle in. Let's get to work…" ^Lilin^ remarked.

"What work?" ^Yaone^ asked.

"We're going to clean this, since we're going to stay here for a while." ^Lilin^ replied.

"Oh~ ok…" ^Yaone^ said.

And they cleaned the small house. A few minutes later, it was clean.

^Lilin^ wiped off her sweat. "Well, that's done," she sighed deeply. "At least we have a place to rest…" She smiled.

Just as they were fixing some stuff, they heard the sound of a jeep. ^Goku^ went out and he saw them stop in front of a restaurant. He went back into the house.

"They're in the restaurant. Shall we go?" ^Goku^ asked. Before the other three could answer, his stomach growled. The four sweatdropped. "Goku's this hungry?!" ^Goku^ exclaimed. "No wonder he whines every now and then…" he remarked, still sweatdropping.

"Anyway, let's go." ^Gojyo^ cut in.

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

Meanwhile, at the restaurant…

^Sanzo^ and ^Hakkai^ were eating, while ^Kougaiji^ and ^Dokugakuji^ were not eating.

"Why aren't you eating?" ^Hakkai^ asked.

"I don't feel hungry." ^Kougaiji^ flatly replied.

"Well, we're not in our respective bodies, so probably Kougaiji and Dokugakuji are starving to death in our bodies…" ^Dokugakuji^ smirked.

"Well, let's just wait for them…" ^Sanzo^ suggested.

"Thanks for waiting." A voice said, and they turned to see who it is. It was ^Goku^, ^Gojyo^, ^Yaone^ and ^Lilin^.

"Oh, you're here!" ^Kougaiji^ greeted.

"Feeling hungry?" ^Dokugakuji^ asked. "We don't feel hungry – so the food is yours." He added.

"Well, we feel hungry…" ^Goku^ said.

"Yeah I know." ^Kougaiji^ sweatdropped. "That's my body."

"Let's eat!!" ^Yaone^ said.

And they ate – the Sanzo-ikkou on one side of the table and the Kougaiji-ikkou on the other side. They stood up one by one after eating, until ^Goku^ and ^Gojyo^ were left at the table. They were still eating, and everyone sweatdropped as they looked at the two.

"Kougaiji-sama, you're…… hungry…?" ^Lilin^ wondered.

"Uh… no… the body is hungry… not me…… forget it… it's hard to explain." Kougaiji (or ^Goku^) replied, sweatdropping.

"We'll be heading to the empty house. We'll be waiting… don't worry, we'll park the jeep in front so you'll know…" Yaone said.

"Ok." ^Goku^ and ^Gojyo^ replied.

^Goku^ and ^Gojyo^ were left in the restaurant while the others went to the empty house. Hakkai parked the jeep in front of the house.

They entered the house…

"So, we're gonna sleep here?" Sanzo asked.

"Yes, there are a few rooms here, so it would be ok…" Yaone replied.

"But it's still morning!" Lilin cut in. "Besides, we need to stay here until tomorrow!" she exclaimed.

"I know I know~" Gojyo replied. "We'll just have to spend some time~"

"How?" ^Yaone^ asked.

"I don't know… let's just walk around town then…" ^Dokugakuji^ replied.

"Uh… ok…" ^Yaone^ uttered.

"Ch'… so that's no smoking for a day…" Sanzo murmured. Hakkai sweatdropped.

And they went out for a while… Sanzo, Hakkai, Yaone and Lilin went to get some groceries, while Dokugakuji and Kougaiji walked around the town. Since there were [almost] no people, they didn't mind walking around in their youkai form……

-----

At the house…

"Hey, where did everyone go?" ^Goku^ asked.

"Maybe they walked around town for a while." ^Gojyo^ answered.

"Maybe. Let's go around town too…" ^Goku^ suggested, sweatdropping.

"Aa." ^Gojyo^ replied.

-----

At the grocery…

"Ne, Yaone-chan, let's buy this!" ^Yaone^ said.

"What's that?" ^Lilin^ looked at what ^Yaone^ is holding. "Oh, that's-"

"Playing cards?" ^Sanzo^ cut in. "Anou… Sanzo, is it-"

"Buy it if you want." ^Hakkai^ interrupted.

"Ok then, I think this is enough…" ^Lilin^ said.

"Hai." ^Sanzo^ replied. "Sanzo… the card…"

"It's in the right sleeve." ^Hakkai^ flatly replied.

"Sanzo seems to be in a bad mood today ne…" Hakkai remarked as he looked for the card in Sanzo's right sleeve… "Ah~ here it is." He held up the card.

They paid for the groceries and they brought it back to the house. They went out again to get some fresh air…

"Let's look for the others…" ^Lilin^ said.

"Hai~" ^Sanzo^ and ^Yaone^ replied.

------

^Kougaiji^ and ^Dokugakuji^ went up a hill. They sat down near a tree.

"Ne Gojyo." ^Kougaiji^ said.

"Nanda?"

"Do you feel uncomfy?" ^Kougaiji^ asked.

"Of course, saru…"

"Aa~ I hate this… what if there will be youkai? How will we fight?" Goku wondered.

"I don't know…" Gojyo flatly replied.

"Great… one day…" Goku sighed.

"Anyway, let's get some sleep…" Gojyo said.

"Yeah…" Goku replied as he lied down on the grass and fell asleep.

Gojyo sighed as he leaned on the tree and he also fell asleep.

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

Somewhere in the darkness……

"Hmm… they seem to be a bit used to it…" a youkai said as he was looking at the image of the Sanzo-ikkou and the Kougaiji-ikkou on the round, glass table.

"Well, we will see if they can get through it…" another youkai said. "It'll be challenging for them."

"Aa. We'll watch them for one day…" the youkai replied.

"It would be fun." The other youkai said.

The two youkais chucked and they disappeared in the darkness.
