Even though I'm a fan for Saiyuki, I don't really know that much, but my favorite charac. Is Kougaiji. I think he's cool and a pretty nice guy.

Enjoy the chapter and please give me a review. It is very important that I know what everybody thinks about the story so I could improve it.

Chapter Three

"I don't get it! Why are we inside of the anime?" Vessica asked as the five girls sat down beside a table that night. Somehow, after Yohina and Vessica fell onto the Sanzo party just like Nuriko, Sakura, and Machi did, they were able to make the Sanzo party take them into the nearest town. Now that they had settled down in the diner, they were finally able to discuss about what had happened peacefully as they ignored Gojyo and Goku's fighting noise.

"I don't know either, but you bet it is kind of fun. Besides, I like my outfit." Nuriko said with a smile. The others looked at her with a sigh. Yohina was like whatever, but Nuriko was right. Each of them does like their own outfit after coming into this world.

Nuriko's was a white spaghetti straps with a pair of gloves. However, her gloves didn't cover her hands at all. They covered her arms and the back of her hand. It was kind of cool. Her necklace was hanging down her front just like Machi's. Also, she was wearing tight flare jeans with a pair of tennis shoes. Her short brown hair was just like before, uneven but gave her a little punk girl looking. Her two small earrings changed from white to green.

For Sakura, her clothes were more sophisticated. She had her glasses still. Her golden shoulder length hair was put down loosely. Her ears were hidden behind her hair, but if it weren't, her golden pair of moon earrings would be very obvious. Inside her long brown sleeveless coat, she wore spaghetti straps just like Nuriko's except it was golden like her hair. Besides that, she wore a pair of really short shorts just like Yohina with yellow pantyhose and a pair of tennis shoes.

"But I really want to know why we are in the anime. I mean, it is kind of cool and all, but what would we do when it comes to fighting. I mean, you guys are all great, but Sakura and I just sucks." Yohina complained as she took a sip of her drink. Sakura nodded at her comment even though she didn't want to agree to that.

Before anyone else could answer, Hakkai spoke. "If you don't mind, but could you tell us what is going on? We did everything and we are still confused." He asked with a smile.

The girls looked at each other and then they all looked at Yohina. Yohina sighed and knew that the others wanted her to talk since she's the best at explaining things before she gets too carried away.

"OK. Don't doubt me because everything I say is the truth about us. It will sound really weird because we don't know what happened either, but I'll just say what I know." Yohina said as Goku and Gojyo stopped fighting over the piece of chicken and Sanzo joined to listen also.

Then, Yohina explained everything that they knew to them. If she ever missed out on anything, the others added in for her. "So that's the whole story. We got sucked in when all the necklaces were gathered together. It kind of sucks since today is my 17th birthday." Yohina ended her explanation with a shrug.

"Wow, that's some story, but what do you want us to do about it! Since you know what we are doing, you can't expect us to take you with us." Gojyo said as he sipped tea.

"Actually, that was what we were planning. We hope that we could go with you on your journey until we can figure this out. We won't need your protection. We can protect ourselves." Yohina added when she saw the looks on the faces of the Sanzo party.

"I'm not really sure about this, guys." Gojyo said as he looked at the five girls. "But they do look pretty good to me." He added and the others collapsed at his thoughts even at this time.

"Fine! We'll take you guys with us. I don't know why I'm doing this, but if you cause us any trouble, you are on your own, strangers or not." Sanzo said as he folded his arms. He didn't seem to mind the girls' company at all. Rather than looking at the girls' exciting faces, he turned to the hotel manager.

"So, how's the demonic act here?" He asked seriously.

"What's to tell? They are scums, always were. One day they showed their true color, killed ten people in our town and then disappeared." The hotel manager answered with disgust.

"So they change, then just ran away. It's like a gathering of some kind. Somebody calls them and they leave." Sanzo thought.

"Demons are disgusting!" A cry broke through Sanzo's thoughts and everybody else's. Everybody turned to look at her. Homei was holding her serving plate close to her as she talked. They could see tears and hatred in her eyes.

"They are disgusting! They should all die!" Homei shouted and then ran away despite her father's shout for her to come back.

"I'm sorry. One of those killed was a dear friend of hers." The innkeeper (Homei's father) said with sadness as Homei disappeared into the kitchen.

"The demons kill and the survivors weep. The humans get confused and blame on the demons. If they only know what the cause is..." Hakkai said later that night when they were alone.

"What'd you expect? They are humans! They are just a bunch of judgmental ass-holes." Gojyo said carelessly.

"Now that's really nice! How'd you know we are all judgmental ass- holes?" Vessica intervened unhappily. The others nodded except for Yohina. She had been acting weird ever since after dinner. She was standing beside the window and looking out into the sky. The expression in her eyes showed that she was deep in thoughts.

"Yohina! Are you OK?" Sakura asked as she put her hand on Yohina's shoulder. Yohina jerked suddenly and pushed her away. "Don't touch me!" She shouted.

All the others were surprised at her reaction. When Yohina noticed the others looking at her, she smiled nervously and also apologetically. "I'm sorry. I was just thinking about what must be happening in our world now." Yohina said with a sad smile.

"Don't worry about it, Yohina. I'm sure everything is fine." Machi said as she tried to sound reassurance.

"Anyway, where's monkey-head?" Gojyo asked as he changed the subject. He didn't like Sanzo's idea of taking the girls on the journey with them at all. That was why he kept giving the five girls a hard time that night.

"Over there. He's splitting firewood for the poor girl." Yohina pointed out of the window.

Yohina was right. Outside, downstairs, Goku just finished splitting the last of the firewood for Homei. He didn't seem tired at all. Then, after that, he seemed to be talking to Homei about something. Goku looked up to Sanzo and the others with a sad look in his eyes but still, no one could hear what they were talking about.

The five girls chose to stay in one room that night even though Homei and her father had vacancies. They left to bed before Sanzo and the others because they knew exactly what was going to happen later since they had watched the show so many times already. What they were worrying about was what was going to happen to the show if they were there.

"You are worried, aren't you, Yohina?" Vessica asked when everyone else had gone to sleep.

"Worried? I guess you can say that. I can't believe that this is all turning out this weird. I suppose it is quite a surprise for me if anyone wanted to give me this birthday present." Yohina smiled carelessly as she sat up on her bed and then out of bed.

"I wonder when are they going to start!" Vessica changed the subject abruptly.

Yet, before Yohina could reply, they heard a loud sound coming from the room beside their own and immediately knew that it had started. Nuriko, Sakura, and Machi stirred in their sleep while Vessica and Yohina left them alone and went to the other rooms immediately.

When the two of them arrived beside Goku's room, Hakkai, Gojyo, and Goku was just about to check on them. Vessica blushed when Hakkai asked if they were all right and where were the other three girls. Yohina said that they were still asleep and they don't need to worry about Nuriko and the others. They can take care of themselves even in this dangerous world.

Then, the five of them headed for Sanzo's room. Vessica and Yohina weren't in such a hurry as Hakkai, Gojyo, and Goku since they knew that Sanzo was going to be fine when they get there. However, they did not complain about all the rushing.

Just as they open the door, they saw that the spider lady was just raising her hand to kill Sanzo. Gojyo pulled out his staff with the crescent blade on top and swung it. The crescent blade left the top of the staff as the chains were reviewed. Everything was going according to it was in the anime. It was as if Vessica and Yohina weren't even there.

"Surrender to me or I'll cut her head off!" The spider lazy said angrily as she stood before the Sanzo party, Vessica, and Yohina. She was holding the unconscious Homei as she said those words.

Yohina looked and saw that Hakkai had disappeared. When he reappeared again, he was beside the spider lazy. "Is that a challenge?" He asked that with the same smile he always had when he took Homei away from the spider woman and got back to where he was in a second.

"Go get them!" The spider woman ordered as several demons appeared beside her.

The demons charged toward the Sanzo party and just at that time, Nuriko, Machi, and Sakura rushed into the room. One of the demons was before Nuriko before she knew what was happening. "Nuriko! Look out!" Yohina screamed as pushed Nuriko out of the way. However, when she looked, the sharp claw of the demon was right above her face. She screamed and felt herself raising her hand trying to push the demon away. She didn't see it, but instantly after she screamed, a gigantic fire engulfed the demon and burned him into ashes.

The other girls were dumbfounded by what they had seen. None of the Sanzo party had seen it since they were too busy trying to fight off other demons. "What? What was that?" Vessica heard herself muttering as she stared at Yohina. Yet, Yohina just stared back at them without knowing what they were talking about at all.

"I'll kill you al..." Before the spider lady could even finish her sentence, Sanzo's punch had landed on her face. "I don't think you'll be able to do that, lady!" Sanzo said angrily.

"Oh really? I'm just getting started!" The lady said with an evil smile as her skin darkened and her whole body started to transform.

The girls heard the Sanzo party's complaint on the ugliness. Then, Homei woke up. Everything went just according to the anime. Homei's father used Sanzo's banishing gun to shoot the spider and then Homei found out that Goku, Hakkai, and Gojyo were demons. At last, Goku and Gojyo held off the spider while Sanzo cast a spell to hold the spider at bay. Then, everything was just over. Nuriko, Yohina, Vessica, Machi, and Sakura felt like as if they were still watching the TV from where they stood because nothing had changed except that Yohina almost got killed and some fire had saved her when she screamed.

As the Sanzo party turned to ask if the five girls were OK, Yohina felt her own purple necklace glowing. She looked at her friends and saw that their necklaces were glowing just like her own. "This won't be good." She thought miserably at first.

"Hey! What's happening?" The girls heard Hakkai and Goku's shouts when they were covered again in white lights. The ground beneath them started to swirl and every one of them felt the sick feeling in the stomach as if they were going to throw up from the dizziness. Once again, they were trapped within the whiteness that had escorted them into the TV just hours before.
