AN: So sorry it takes so long for me to complete a chapter. It's just that I do these things secretly. No one knows I write fanfics though they often see me writing stuff. Anyway, enough of that this one is about what kind of medicine Goku needs to get well. It's about another journey to the west. Hope you all enjoy!
Disclaimer: All the characters aren't mine. I'm merely borrowing them for the sake of fun.

Chapter 5: Journey to The West
"Time to get up," Hakkai says,
"Hakkai, where are you going this time of day? It's just 5:00 a.m. and it's damn cold outside. Why bother?" a confused Gojyo asks,
"Have to get the cure. I'll see you all later,"
"Wait! I'll come with you,"
"How about Goku, who will take care of him?" an annoyed Sanzo says,
"Wait a minute, are you telling me to just look after the saru? Are you kidding? Fine,"
And when everything was said and understood, they parted their own ways. Gojyo, to take care of Goku. Sanzo and Hakkai, to the library.
* * * * *
"This is impossible. Where can we find a cure that has never been found?"
And then The Librarian came to the rescue, "My, my, what are we all looking for?"
"Well, we're looking for a cure for the disease called----,"
"Night? No need to tell me. Everyone here knows that child, what's his name, Goku, has the disease. I'll help you now. Don't worry, everything's going to be all right,"
'Everything's going to be all right,' they seem to be hearing those words much more often nowadays. It seemed to be inevitable. Everyone seems to say these words whenever possible.
"Is there really a cure?" asks Sanzo. "Sure there is! Come, come, I'll show you the book." The librarian seemed to be in a good mood. A very good mood at that one, heh the corrupt monk would of course notice the sudden change of mood. He knew, certainly, only one person to ever change moods in just a split second with, of course, a whole bunch of food in tow. Obviously, that person is none other than, well you'd know.
Too bad he's dying…
"Here, here. Come sit. Look at this now." It was a-mazing. Everything was there, from curing colds to curing deadly diseases. Only if the thing they're looking for is there. *sigh* What if itsn't? What if it wasn't even there? What if it was already too late?
What if?
"How do we know it's not too late?" asked Sanzo.
"Ah. A good question. You really wouldn't know. It depends on how strong the boy is. How determined he is to live, if he even wants to," said the librarian.
"What do you mean, 'if he even wants to.' That's not a good thing to say sir," said Hakkai.
"The boy's going through too much pain. He has a reason to give up and die," said the librarian.
"He won't give up. Goku will never give up," said Sanzo.
"Believe in whatever you wish but don't be too surprised to see him loosing hope and die," said the librarian.
"I don't pretty much what you, the book, or what everyone says. I believe that Goku will not loose hope and he'll live," said Sanzo.
"If you think so," answered the old man.
"What does the book say, Hakkai?" asked Gojyo, trying to change the subject having entered the library just in time for the "fight"
"Um…It says that, well, it doesn't actually say anything," said Hakkai a bit uncertainly.
"Get to the point Hakkai," said an annoyed Sanzo.
"Well, it only says that the person inflicted with the disease only has some few months or even weeks left depending on how strong the person is. It doesn't say anything that could help. Why did you even give us this book?" Hakkai said as he turned towards the old man.
"For you to realize that finding the cure is impossible," the man laughed and he continued, "No one has ever lived when inflicted with the disease. Not even a youkai can beat the illness. Heck, not even the strongest man, youkai or not, can survive it. So don't get your hopes too high since I'm pretty sure he's going to die. The boy will die and you can't do anything about it. Oh, wait you can do something. You can watch him slip away from this world and die. I don't pretty much care what you, or anyone says since I'm sure the boy is going to die. Call me insane, call me whatever you wish but the BOY IS GOING TO DIE!" with that said he received a blow from Hakkai, a kick from Gojyo and an attempt of murder from Sanzo. The only one that stopped was Hakkai, saying it wouldn't do him any good. So what Sanzo did do was to give the man a punch he'd never forget.
