The sun shone magnificently, in its place in the clear blue sky that stretches higher and higher toward the heavens, bathing the land with its warmth and light. White fluffy clouds floated slowly across the endless blue dome, eventually changing its shape as it did. It was indeed a beautiful day, a peaceful day…
"Shit!"
Sanzo ducks just in time as one of his opponents threw him a fist, and then jumped backward simultaneously as another tried to kick him. Still in mid flight, Sanzo fired a double shot which hits its aims right on target. His eyes darted around his surrounding, searching for more enemies but there was none left… except maybe for one more youkai that was on a horseback, an incredulous look carved on his face as he witnessed a total annihilation of his army.
Sanzo levelled his revolver and shoots at the last remaining youkai – the leader, between the eyes. "Shi-ne!" The youkai let out an anguish cry as it disintegrate into a million pieces. Its painful scream echoed through the wood and was lost in the distance.
"Do they always have to scream so loud when they die?" Goyjo asked sarcastically, leaning against his shakujo, slightly out of breath.
"Well I'm sure dying is very painful, kappa." Goku replied in a tone that suggests that the red hair kappa might be the biggest idiot in the world.
"Why you…" Goyjo clenched his teeth angrily. "Don't call me kappa! Sare!"
"Then don't call me Sare, kappa!
Ignoring the two idiots, Sanzo lowered his gun and let out a soft sighed. Finally…
But this is not the final is it? A voice in his head bit out bitterly. There will always be a next time, more attacks to confront, more youkai to kill, and more blood to stain my hand… no, this will never ends until this damn mission ends…
"Damn you kappa! Let me go!"
"Make me, Sare!"
Sanzo glowered forebodingly.
By now, Goyjo had Goku's head lock in his arm and was ruffling those spiky brown head to shambles, laughing gleefully at the monkey's futile attempt to free himself and the curses that was raining upon him.
An eerie silence settled on the forest as a single gunshot sliced through the noise of the bickering, silencing the two idiots.
"Let's go!" He ordered menacingly. And the faster we get this over with the better…
"Sanzo?" A quiet voice interrupted his thought. He turned, and found Hakkai was standing beside him.
"What?" He snapped.
"Are you alright?"
He gave his friend a confuse look. "And why shouldn't I?
Hakkai gestured to his shoulder; there was a large rip in his robe, starting from the shoulder blade continuing to his chest, blood was seeping through the gash soaking his creamy white robe red. He swore viciously. When did I got that?
"Let me close the wound." Hakkai offered smilingly.
"Fine. But be quick I want to get to the next town as soon as possible."
