Chapter 3

Goku had been walking in the woods for quite a while now searching for the witch that lives there. Someone had told him to follow to where the river flows and that was what he was doing now. All of a sudden, there was a rustling sound behind the bushes, Goku turned to the bushes and stared at it, waiting for whoever or whatever that was behind the bushes to appear.

"Who's there?" Goku called out and was greeted by mysterious person who wore a cloak, holding a staff on his right hand.

"And I'd like to ask you the same question." The mysterious person answered as he took off his cloak to reveal a very beautiful being with long silver hair.

Goku stared at the person in front of him for awhile and noticed the stranger's ears, "You're a demon aren't you, miss?"

The stranger stared back at Goku and answered, "Yes, that I am. But I think you've mistaken." The former noticed Goku's confused face and explained "I'm a guy."

Hearing that, Goku fell down, "Nani! You're a guy?" Goku asked as he continued to look at the stranger not believing what he heard.

"Well, you don't have to believe me if you don't want to then. Now, who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Aa! I'm Goku and I came here looking for the witch that lives here. And who are you?"

"Eh? The witch? What for? Haven't you heard that ... h- she is evil?" The silver haired demon asked, leaning against a nearby tree.

"Yes, but I really really need to find her! I need her help!" Goku said his eyes looking desperate.

The mysterious demon looked at Goku for awhile, 'He doesn't seem to be joking. And I think he really needs help..'

Then Goku remembered that he didn't know who the silver haired demon he was talking to was yet. "Ano, you still haven't answered me. Who are you?"

"Aa, You can call me Koji. I live here in the woods. I was just collecting herbs just awhile ago until I met you here."

"Eh? But I thought only the witch lives in the woods!"

"Well, HE does." Koji smirked as he answered.

Goku was a little confused at first, then suddenly he realized what Koji meant, "... You don't mean.. YOU are that witch are you?"

"Bingo"

"But I thought it was supposed to be a witch?"

Koji sighed and explained," Well, those are just rumors you know. And plus, I don't think they know how to different shape a female and a male. Just like how you thought I was a girl just a while ago. The sun is setting already. Come on, my house is just nearby. We'll talk there." Koji said as he turned to walk towards his home.

"Okay! Wait for me!" Goku said as he followed behind as he thought, 'Well, he doesn't look very evil to me...'

Gojyo

After the monkey had left, I returned to the inn we were staying at. Sanzo was as usual in his room and Hakkai was waiting for the medicine I bought.

"Ah, you're back. Eh? Where's Goku?" Hakkai asked and stood from the chair he was sitting on.

"Here's the medicine you wanted me to get." I said and handed the medicine to Hakkai, "As for the saru, I don't know where he went. He just said he's going somewhere for awhile and told us not to worry about him and that he'll be back later." I answered as I lit a cigarette.

"Aa.. I wonder where he went to?" Hakkai asked wondering where Goku would go to at this time and I just shruged, "Who knows?"

"I hope he's alright." Hakkai said and unpacked the medicine with Hakuryuu on his shoulders.

"Don't worry about that little brat. He know's how to take care of himself." I assured him.
Normal POV

Sanzo dumped an empty can of beer to the floor and sighed.'Hmph. So he isn't here huh? Well, I bet he got sick of seeing me being so helpless. Damn I feel so pathetic..But Goku doesn't deserve to stick around with a handicap like me.. he deserves more.. Funny how love can change one person.. But I don't really show it to the whole world of course... I just hope Goku won't be too sad over this.. It's for his own good...'

At that time, the blond monk made up his mind on what he was going to do.. ..Something that he didn't know he might regret.. for the rest of his life..

chapter 3 end.
