Disclaimer: the usual stuff…
This Chapter was uploaded today (7th Nov) for a very special reason…So that I could dedicate it to the second person who reviewed this fic & who also happens to be one of the best people I've met ever since I started writing on Fanfiction.net. Today is this girl's birthday.
This is for you Hanae de Firefly!
Happy Happy Birthday!

Chapter 5
"So where do we start?!...no shrines, no Kanzeon…no clues…" for once Gojyo seemed right.
"You're so pathetic it makes me sick" snorted Sanzo, "If we where all brought together here, its here we must look for the damn idiot who wouldn't let me rest in peace"
"And since we haven't been given a gold card like the other time we'll use your money…after all your folks are loaded!!!!"
"Shut up or die" was Sanzo's reply to Gojyo.
"Who do you think is the most likely suspect?" threw in Hakkai "Probably someone within the circle of people we know"
"First we need to find my sutra…it was missing from among the remains at the museum….that's the only thing that can release Gyumaho's essence from its prison…and then we'll know who's behind all this"
"Sound easier then it is, you corrupted monk!!!...By the way…you still owe me a cig!"
"I don't owe you a bloody thing!!!!" Sanzo then turned to more serious matters "Our memories have been unsealed…we should be to remember faces…names…"

The next day as Goku was waiting for Sanzo and Hakkai outside the lecture room he accidentally bumped into their lecturer: Professor Niagoshi.
"Sorry!" said Goku not even looking at the person.
"Not a problem" said the professor adjusting his pair of square framed glasses and clutching the books closer to him with his left arm.
The gesture gave Goku the shivers…something about it was familiar. Presently Sanzo and Hakkai came out interrupting his thoughts.
"Realized you can't keep on eating forever, monkey"
Goku looked at them "No…it's just your Prof…gives me the creeps…"
"You should have heard him today!!!" Gojyo emerged from the lecture room. "He totally freaked me out with his the-world-is-no-longer-as-it-used-to-be speech!!! The guy is evil!!!!"
"Since when do you take psychology?" spluttered Hakkai
"I don't. I was just at the back with Tami-the cute brunette with big grey eyes…can't believe you didn't notice her?!!!!"
Hakkai shook his head-Gojyo would never change!!!!!
"I didn't like his speech either…I don't like it at all…the world must be restored to its ancient state…isn't that what he said?...the guy's up to something" Sanzo looked at Hakkai.
The other answered his glance, unsmiling "It could be my impression but did you get the feeling that you had met Prof Niagoshi before…I mean..."
"What you mean to say, in reality, is that he sounds and acts awfully like good old Doctor Ni"
"Doctor Ni!!!" Goku and Gojyo could hardly believe it.
"Do you think he is trying to resurrect Gyumaho?" asked Hakkai too afraid that what he was thinking might be the facts. "If you take what he said today and put it in this contest….it means he wants…"
"Chaos and destruction to reign again as when Gyumaho was free" answered Sanzo, "The guy is definitely demented…"
"What do we do now?" inquired Goku.
"Easy" replied Sanzo "We recover the sutra and destroy it…in that way Gyumaho can never be resurrected"
"Ha!!! And from where do you suppose we'll find the sutra? I don't suppose they've given you a sutra detecting radar this time!!!"
"No! They've given me common sense" snorted Sanzo "It's pretty obvious…the sutra is at his house"
"Ehm…Sanzo…wouldn't that be like breaking in…I mean…a criminal offence?" Hakkai smiled
"And since when do you care Hakkai….You once told me you where a sort of jack-of-all-trades…show me whether you can pick a lock decently too"
""Where?" the smile, hinting at a dare-devil streak in the genteel character, was still playing on Hakkai's lips.
"12.00 sharp on campus" and followed by Goku, Sanzo headed for his convertible.
Sanzo: Why is this starting to sound more like a stupid action film with every line?!
Kenren T: Coz maybe it's an action/adventure fanfic?
Sanzo: Ok…then…You suck at writing action/adventure
Kenren T: (sigh) If you don't agree with the monk here…please read and review…if by any chance you do agree with him…please read and review anyway…if it's as bad as he says…it can't get any worse…so…it has to get better, right?
