I don't own the sexy bishos of Saiyuki.

Writing the rest of this fic in Goku's POV, since I enjoy writing fics this way.

Sudden Desire 2

I stared at this woman for a long time; her expression gave away nothing as she just gazed into my eyes with a wide smirk spread across her face. I couldn't tell if she was being truthful or not. I clenched my fist as a knot formed in my throat. After a few moments I finally replied to her question.

"Why are you willing to do this.I'm sure there is something you want from me." My voice felt so strange to me, as if I was using it for the first time. My brain was screaming at me to run away from this crazy woman, yet my heart wanted so badly for me to just agree. Yes! Make me a human! Let me go a day without having to worry about someone trying to kill me because I am a 'traitor' to the demon world!

She looked thoughtful, as if trying to figure out how to respond to my question. The goddess bent over and put her hand under my chin, pulling my face towards her. I winced slightly, not willing to be almost nose to nose with her and she said in a haughty tone;

"I've been watching you a long time, saru. And I am enjoying the story you and your cute little friends are creating. But I like to step in every now and then when I see fit." She winked at me as I tried to pull myself from her strong grip. "There is nothing I want from you, except for you to entertain me."

She released her grip on me and I rubbed my chin in disbelief. "You.find us amusing?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

The woman laughed arrogantly. "Why yes you could say something like that. Now what do you say, kid? Are you going to continue entertaining me and choose becoming what you so desire, or shall I leave you now?"

I was silent. Damn, this crazy old lady made me feel like some kind of toy. I was ready to turn around and leave, hoping to forget about this entire ordeal until she stifled a lazy yawn and said.

"I won't give you this opportunity ever again. If you turn me down now you'll miss your only chance at happiness."

She had me, and she knew she did. I faced her once again, my golden eyes being pierced by hers. I swallowed my pride and uttered the words she wanted to hear.

"Make me human."

Sanzo fumbled in his pocket for a fresh cigarette, 2 already lay on the ground, this was his third. He inhaled the smoke calmly as Gojyo and Hakkai sat quietly inside the jeep, still waiting for their fourth member to return to them.

"It's been over an hour." Gojyo remarked eyeing the monk. "Don't you think we should look for him?"

Sanzo's expression was indifferent as he replied in a cold tone, "The Saru's stupid, but not weak. He's fine." He puffed on his cigarette coolly as the red haired half youkai sighed in irritation.

"Right, and how much longer do you expect we wait, oh worldly monk?" he said feigning mock sincerity.

"How ever long we need to."

Hakkai smiled cheerfully as usual and stated rather matter-of-factly, "That won't be very long to wait."

Sanzo looked at the man out of the corner of his eye. "What do you mean by that, pray tell?" His voice still had not changed from its usual monotone ways.

Hakkai lifted a finger and pointed towards the words, where they all heard the slow steady sound of branches snapping and leaves rustling. And from the thick trees and bushes.

* * * *

I pulled myself out of the forest, with my dulled vision I could see Sanzo and the others sitting in the jeep. I smiled to myself, feeling excited. I couldn't wait to tell them what happened, but the entire ordeal drained me. It was almost as if she had sucked the energy right out of me.

I remembered all the details in my head. The minute I had said the words 'Make me human' I found her pressing her lips passionately unto mine. I was completely dumbfounded, I would have pushed her away and ran if my strength had not suddenly left me. Everything felt heavy around me, even now it seemed as though 50 pounds had been thrown on me. After she had released me from that kiss I had found myself falling, rather ungracefully, to the dry grass.

I don't exactly recalled what she had said, but the next thing I knew she was putting her fingers on my diadem. I struggled to push her away with my hands frantically, knowing full well what would happen if she managed to get it off. All I could her was her garbling something as she took a firm grip on my hand, disabling me from fighting back. She took hold of my power control device and pulled it right off, looking down at me with a smirk.

I half expected to black out, for my body to be screaming in pain, for the back of head to burn and my eyes to forcefully squeeze shut, but strangely, nothing happened. I looked up at the prideful woman, fear evident on my face along with confusion as I saw her twirling my golden diadem around her finger. She winked at me, dropped the diadem in front of my nose, and as quickly as she came, she disappeared.

After a few minutes to recover from the sheer astonishment, I pulled myself off the ground, making sure to pick up my head piece. And then I started walking, walking until I could find Sanzo and the others. Everything was a blur, and time just seemed to stand still until I found who I was looking for. I couldn't understand their expressions, Gojyo's face seemed pale and Hakkai looked rather worried, even Sanzo seemed wary.

It didn't matter to me. I just smiled, feeling triumphant. I waved to them with the diadem in my grasp until I felt myself slip into unconsciousness, exhausted and worn out. I allowed myself to drop to the dirty ground as I heard pounding footsteps run towards me. Then everything went black again.

* * * *

Everyone had looked up towards the trees, and they saw the small boy stumble dizzily through them. Gojyo had started to make a comment when sudden he felt the blood drain from his face as he saw the diadem just dangling from Goku's grasp like a toy. He exchanged glances with Hakkai, not sure of what to think.

Here was Goku, without his control device.and yet he seemed.normal? Well as normal goes for him. Sanzo remained silent, watching the boy's every move. He sure did seem like Goku, that same dopey face; there was no hint whatsoever or his deadly counter part. His eyes, even though tired and a bit blank, held no intense hatred, but instead those usual innocent, pure orbs he was used to seeing.

Nobody moved, not even Goku. He just stood there dumbfounded, until he waved to them rather happily before he fell to the ground with a loud thud. Hakkai was the first to jump out of the vehicle as he raced to Goku's side, checking for any wounds. Gojyo ran up along side him as Sanzo cautiously left the jeep to also see what happened.

Gojyo looked over Hakkai's shoulder. "Is he.?"

Hakkai let out a sigh of relief as he looked up to his red haired friend. "He's not dead.nor injured in anyway.his head is a bit warm, so there might be a slight fever that caused him to collapse.but I'm sure the question on our minds is." he looked towards the diadem with his one good eye. "I cannot explain it."

Sanzo rubbed the temples on his head, sighing loudly. "Fine. Let's go to the closet inn and figure out what's wrong with him."

Gojyo smirked. "Ooooh, is the corrupted monk actually worried about his little pe-" The back of Gojyo's had was promptly greeted by Sanzo's over sized fan. The half youkai rubbed his pained skull and bent over to pick the sleeping teen up. He carried the small body over to the jeep and let him rest in his lap as Hakkai and Sanzo followed. During the entire ride, Sanzo could not keep his eyes off Goku, still wary of him not having the diadem on.

There's no way this can be Goku, he thought to himself. He kept one hand on his gun as the jeep raced across the terrain.
