Title: Issues With Females

Summary: When resting in a small town, Gojyo encounters a strange woman. Somehow a spell is cast on him turning him into a woman. He only has until the next full moon to reverse the curse before it becomes permanent.

A/N: Ok, so I think I have a general idea of what is going to happen with the "romance" in this fic. Oh, I am taking a vacation for about two weeks so I will most likely be unable to put up the fourth chapter before then. I'll work on it though, and have it up when I come back. Thanks for the reviews so far. I am going to refer to Gojyo as she instead of he in his woman form, so don't get confused.

Chapter 3: Through Sand To Demons

Everyone in the jeep was silent as it rumbled toward the next town with the demon problem. Hopefully it would be a quick extermination and then they could be on their way again, despite Gojyo's little problem. Little? That was an understatement. He had been turned into a woman! He had told them all about it when they had met up and first saw the change. It was a big shock to everyone to learn that someone, even if it had been a woman, had snuck past the water sprite's defenses.

"Why the hell did you trust her?" Sanzo had proclaimed.

"I didn't trust her! She hypnotized me somehow!" Gojyo complained. It was harder to get his point across when his voice was that of a woman's.

"Hypnotized you?" Goku laughed. "Jeez, Gojyo. That's low even for you."

"Watch it or I'll beat the shit out of you!"

"Oh, but you might break a nail." Goku laughed harder.

"Are you mocking me?" Gojyo yelled. He turned to Hakkai. "Please tell me that you at least believe me."

"Well I do know from experience that a good woman can make a man lose his senses."

"After she gave you this potion to drink and you were turned into a.....well, you changed, did you ever think of finding this woman and making her reverse it?" Sanzo asked.

"I did look for her. I looked all over the damn city, but I couldn't find her anywhere. No sign she even existed."

The priest sighed. "Well we can't waste anymore time here. We have to keep moving. Maybe it would be best if you stayed here and waited around to see if that woman shows up again. We can come back for you later."

"Hell no!" Gojyo crossed her(his) arms over her(his) chest. "Just because I have breasts now, doesn't mean I am of any less use!"

And that was how they came to be where they are now, driving through the desert toward the next demon-infested town. Goku was laughing silently in the back of the vehicle at Gojyo, who was slouched with her arms crossed over her chest and a sour look on her face. Sanzo watched the desert ahead of them in a contemplative manner. Hakkai had a small smile on his face, while he drove. The now female kappa cleared her throat.

"What is it?" Sanzo said irritably.

"Well I was just thinking, now that my clothes are rather loose and baggy on me, and basically falling off, perhaps in the next town I should look for clothes that would fit."

Sanzo growled. "Whatever."

They moved closer and closer to the town in silence. Nobody knew what to say, and Goku wasn't about to pick a fight with a girl, even if it was Gojyo inside. Fights with girls were nasty. They screamed, kicked, pulled hair, it just wasn't worth it. Seeing Gojyo like this was enough, anyway. He couldn't wait to see what would happen if the water sprite tried to pick up a girl. Goku started laughing aloud. Sanzo looked back at him, clearly annoyed. Gojyo raised a disgruntled eyebrow in confusion.

"What's going on back there that's so entertaining?" Hakkai asked, the smile still on his face.

"Nothing. Goku's just having some fun fantasizing about what could be underneath Gojyo's clothes, most likely," Sanzo replied, turning back around.

"Am not!" Goku yelled, his laughs coming to a halt.

"Yeah! You better not be!" Gojyo glared at the monkey king. "If I catch you even thinking about any sexual fantasies involving me-"

"Dude, just because you fantasize about other people in this car, doesn't mean I do the same!" Goku interrupted.

"You're right, Goku," Gojyo said.

"I am?"

"Yeah. I fantasize about someone in this car. I fantasize about your face under my foot!"

"Would both of you shut the hell up?" Sanzo yelled. "We'll be at the town soon and the people there don't need to hear your lame ass fighting!"

The two in the back both shut up and slumped against the side of the vehicle. The rest of the way to the town was in silence. Whenever there was an occasional noise from the back, Sanzo always turned around to make sure neither of them was going to talk. Sand slowly made way for grass, and dunes for trees. Soon the town came into view, but an explosion that could be heard in the car sent up a large dust cloud.

"Faster Hakkai."

They sped up toward the town. Soon there were small farm-like houses to either side of them, but they continued on to the shops, where the explosion had come from. Once they were at the shops, they jumped out of the car, which turned back into Hakuryuu, and ran toward a group of people and demons. A couple villagers were dead on the ground, most likely from the blast. Five demons were now advancing on a small group of townsfolk huddled together.

"Stop right there."

The demons turned to see who had interrupted them, and the villagers turned to see who had just rescued them. The demons laughed and the villagers sweatdropped.

"A woman, a child, a priest, and a man with a stupid smile on his face. I'm so scared," one of the demons commented, laughing to his buddies.

"You should be." Suddenly a crescent moon shaped blade attached to a chain flew at the demons, hitting and vanquishing one. The other demons looked in shock at their fallen comrade. They turned on the four outsiders, growling in anger. Then they pounced. Goku was able to impale one of them with his weapon. Hakkai blew another away with his powers. Sanzo whipped out his gun and stuck a bullet in a demon's forehead. Gojyo decapitated the last with one swipe of his weapon. The villagers instantly surrounded them, offering their praise. A young and beautiful woman walked slowly up to the group.

"Excuse me," she said in her little accent. "Do you all have a place to stay for the night? If not then you are welcome to stay with my family and me. It's the least I can do for saving our lives. There's not a lot of room, but it would make us very happy."

Gojyo smirked, getting an idea. "We'd love to, but if there isn't a lot of room then that means I'll have to sleep in the same room as these filthy men. They could rape me in the night!"

The girl looked concerned. "Oh, of course we wouldn't let you sleep in the same room as them. You can stay in my room with me, if that's alright with you."

Gojyo grinned devilishly at Sanzo, Hakkai, and Goku. Sanzo and Goku's eye was twitching.

"Filthy men?" they asked in unison.

Gojyo just hummed to herself, smiling, and followed the woman as they started back to her house.
