Later at dusk, at the house…

"We really don't have a choice, ne?" ^Kougaiji^ asked as he sat on a chair.

"Hai…" ^Lilin^ replied.

"Don't worry— don't worry— we won't get the sutra." ^Goku^ cut in. "We also want our bodies back, you know."

"Maa, let's eat now, shall we?" ^Sanzo^ cut in.

"What? This early?" ^Dokugakuji^ asked.

"Ok then, we'll eat later." ^Sanzo^ sweatdropped.

"Hmmm… how are we going to kill some time?" Lilin wondered. "It's kinda boring."

Everyone was silent as they were thinking. Suddenly, the 'Sanzo-ikkou' stood up at the same time.

"What's this ominous energy?" ^Kougaiji^ said.

"A youkai?" ^Sanzo said.

The Sanzo-ikkou and the Kougaiji-ikkou went out of the house, and they looked around but no one was there. It was getting dark.

"I feel it's getting stronger…… there!! At the fields!!" ^Kougaiji^ pointed out.

"Let's go!" ^Goku^ shouted.

"Aa!" ^Dokugakuji^ replied.

They ran swiftly to the fields, and they stopped when three figures stood before them. The moon appeared and it illuminated the figures. The Homura-tachi.

"You're all here…" Homura said, holding his fiery sword.

"Shall we start?" Shien said.

"Hm. Homura, huh?" ^Hakkai^ murmured.

"Oi Homura!! Let's fight!!" ^Kougaiji^ shouted.

"They're acting a bit strange…" Zenon stated.

"Come to think of it, they are." Homura replied.

"Homura!!! Shoubu!!!" ^Kougaiji^ shouted once more.

"Oi demon prince, are you ok? You're almost like Son Goku." Homura remarked.

"That's because… I am Son Goku!!!" he replied. The three gods sweatdropped.

"Are they playing a joke or something?" Zenon asked, holding his laughter.

"No. We're serious." ^Hakkai^ replied.

"Tenpou Gensui…" Homura uttered, then he looked at ^Sanzo^, who was slightly smiling. "Konzen Douji… what the-"

"Did something happen?" Shien cut in.

"You may not understand this, but we were switched of our bodies." ^Lilin^ said.

"Huh?" the three gods chorused. "What?!"

"The youkai who did this said we'll be like this until tomorrow." ^Sanzo^ continued.

"Oh… so that's why… what a mix-up." Homura said. "But that doesn't kill my mood for fighting. Continue."

"Anyway, let's start!!" Zenon said as he stood in a battle stance.

"Yosh~!" ^Dokugakuji^ said as he looked around. "Where's my shakujou?" He sweatdropped when a sword suddenly appeared in his hand. "Uh… ok, how can I use the sword?" he uttered. He then turned to ^Gojyo^, who was holding the shakujou, also sweatdropping.

"Oi Dokugaku, here's your—" Gojyo's sentence was cut off.

"…weapon? Yeah, here's yours." He cut in, and they exchanged weapons and they charged towards Zenon.

---

"Homura!! Ikuze!!" ^Kougaiji^ shouted. "Nyoibo!!"

"Hm." Homura huffed as he brought his sword forward.

"Nyoibo!!" ^Kougaiji^ shouted once more. "What?! Why… NYOIBO!!!" he sweatdropped. "Oh yeah… we switched bodies…" Homura also sweatdropped, thus bringing down his sword.

"Mattaku…" ^Goku^ uttered. "Nyoibo!" And the red staff appeared in his hand. "Oi Goku!" he shouted as he threw the staff towards ^Kougaiji^.

"Aa! Thanks!" ^Kougaiji^ said as he caught the staff.

"Hmmm… I wonder how will I fight?" Sanzo, Hakkai, and Kougaiji wondered. Since they were 'gods', the Exorcism gun won't 'hit' them.

At that time, Homura seemed to read their minds.

"You don't need to think about it. We'll retreat for now." Everyone turned to Homura.

"Oi," Zenon stammered. "Why—" he stopped when Shien, slightly smiling, held Zenon's shoulder and he shook his head.

"I figured out that it would be easier to fight you guys when you would be in your respective bodies." He flatly said. "Shien. Zenon. Let's go." He said.

"Hai hai……" Zenon said as he walked towards Homura.

"Wakarimashita." Shien followed Zenon.

"Jaa na." Homura said, and the three gods vanished, leaving the rest dumbfounded.

"That's it?" ^Kougaiji^ broke the silence.

"They… left…" ^Yaone^ uttered.

"Then let's go… it's night already." ^Dokugakuji^ stated.

And they went back to the empty house. Because they were [sort of] exhausted, they easily fell asleep.

While they were sleeping, they didn't notice that the 'light' from before enveloped them once again in their sleep, and their respective bodies were returned to their respective owners.

Then morning came.
