I know the last one really sucked...too mellow...even i dont like it! nvm...Here you go, chapter 9 completed, I did it pretty fast as well...


Early morning, Sanzo wakes up annoyed by continuous yelling made outside. He sits up on his bed with a headache, and feeling worse when Goku was nowhere to be found to get him some painkillers. He got up and looked outside and saw Goku training with Nataku.

Downstairs, Hakkai and Gojyo were being served breakfast peacefully for a change without Goku there to hog the food.
"Woi, Hakkai...do we have any painkillers?"
"Ah, do you have a headache too?" Sanzo looked at Hakkai suspiciously, wondering if he there was something more going on.
"Here," Gojyo handed over some pills to Sanzo as he sat down, "there aren't a lot left, Hakkai took too much at one go. Is there something going around or something?"
"I don't know, maybe it was from the attacks last night."

"Where are the Nerneks?" Sanzo, completely ignoring his condition, lit a cigarette.
"They were nice enough to do the shopping, and Fei said he wanted to do work." Gojyo felt proud, being in command of a group of Gods, and that they weren't the stupid type that would die for him.

"How long have Goku and Nataku been training?"
"Since they woke up, they haven't even had any breakfast yet."
"So that's how he solved it."
"Huh?"
"Nothing."

Out of nowhere, Fei burst into the inn sweating with a shocked expression.
"Wh-where...where is..."
"Fei! Slow down, what's wrong?" Gojyo poured a glass of tea for Fei and he sat down trying to catch his breath.
"I went...to Heaven for a while to keep an eye on them and the army. I found out that they are-"

"Goku!" Goku was hitting Nataku with continuous punches and kicks and they were becoming harder, faster and Nataku couldn't keep up. "GOKU! STOP!"
"Ack..." Goku stopped and snapped out of his concentration like he was under a trance. "Gomei...I don't know what happened..."
"Maybe we should stop, we've been working since daybreak."
"Mmm..."
"How about some breakfast?" Goku's eyes lit instantly and grabbed Nataku's hand and ran towards the inn's entrance.

"They're attacking tonight?! I still have my burns from yesterday! How inconsiderate..."
"What's going on Gojyo?" Goku and Nataku joined the table and soon devoured everything in sight.
"Heaven's army is attacking tonight." At that moment, the rest of the Nerneks came back and heard what Gojyo just said.
"Well, it's just like Heaven to attack when we are like this."

Suddenly, Sanzo stood up and knocked the table as he held his head in agony.
"AARGHH!!!"
"Sanzo?!" Everyone stood clear of Sanzo as he experienced a fit, then fell to his knees as he lost his energy. Sanzo saw a series of flashes of cherry blossoms falling, and a male figure in front of him, with similar hair to his. The images went by so fast and weren't clear enough for Sanzo to make sense of them.
"Wha-...who...?"

"Sanzo, are you ok?" Hakkai helped get him back on his feet and sit him down on a chair. "What happened?"
"I don't know, all of a sudden my head tensed up and it felt like my brain was burning."
"Let me get you some water." Hakkai went to the kitchen as the others cleaned up the fallen table.
"AH Konzen! Look at what you did to the food!"
"Urusai!" Sanzo hit him with his fan and Nataku couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then they heard glass breaking from the kitchen, Gojyo ran in and saw Hakkai going through the same fit that Sanzo did.
"Woi Hakkai!"

"AAARGGGHH!!" Hakkai's hand was bleeding from squeezing a glass too hard and in turn breaking it. Gojyo relaxed him and brought him out. Hakkai was calmer but was still in a state of shock. He saw flashes too, he saw a library, and on the floor sat a man surrounded by stacks of books and he was able to see a smile on the man's face. "Wha-...?"

They all sat on the table and stared at Sanzo and Hakkai.
"Stop looking at me." Sanzo was annoyed and lit a cigarette.
"What happened?" "It was the same, just how Sanzo described it, my head tensed and it burned..." Hakkai bandaged his hand and then a waitress came out and handed a new pack of painkillers to Gojyo.
"Thanks hun."

"Hakkai, do you need to lie down?"
"No, I'm fine..." Gojyo was worried, how were they going to fight with Sanzo and Hakkai in this state? Sanzo put down his cup violently on the table, catching everyone's attention. His eyes lost their shine and were an empty violet colour.
"Why do...I have to take care of him...? The sun?" Then he snapped out of it and looked around at everyone who was staring at him concerned and scared.
"What?!"
"Eh?" Goku's eyebrow twitched and sweat dropped from everyone's heads.
"Losers..." Sanzo stood up and went outside for a smoke not knowing what that was all about.

Gojyo stood and made an announcement.
"Everyone, get yourself prepared for tonight, get your rest, eat heartily, do whatever. It's going to be hard." Gojyo was about to proceed outside when Kail ran up behind him.
"You're going out for a drink aren't you?"
"Yeah..."
"My treat." Gojyo smiled and leaned his arm on Kail's shoulder.

Fei looked at the others left behind and smirked as he took out a deck of cards from his pocket.
"Anyone for a game?"

== That Night ==

Sanzo-ikkou and the Nerneks gathered at the inn, they sat on the table and raised their glasses.

"Let's give them what they deserve." Goku was serious now, all revved up for the battle.

They felt the ground shake, the other customers in the inn were alarmed and began to scream a little.
"They're finally here." All of them proceeded out and faced the empty desert at the outskirts of the town. There they were, Heaven's army. At the front stood the assassin now wearing red, making him stand out from the plain white clothing the army had.

"Ch..." Sanzo was angry as he didn't have much to do, he couldn't protect himself properly as his gun wouldn't work. He lit a cigarette and let the others walk on ahead. Now with nothing but desert separating them and the moon as their only source of light, the battle was about to begin.

"Hey, Kail, doesn't the army look a little small?" The brown haired Nernek, Jiro questioned.
"They do...what does he have planned?"

"They're pining us..." Goku looked at Hakkai and saw that his eyes turned into an empty green colour just like Sanzo. "They have put half of the army on this side and the other side is behind us." Then Hakkai snapped out of it and looked around like he was lost in thought. "What happened?"

"That tone of voice..." Fei looked over to Kail.
"Its Tenpou, Tenpou Gensui."
"Who's that?" Gojyo questioned.
"We'll explain later."

Sanzo looked to the other side and saw the other half of the army, they were getting closer.

"That stupid woman."
