Series: Saiyuki and Monkey
Author: Zelgadis55
Rating: PG13 or T for mild language and violence
Disclaimer: Neither Saiyuki nor Monkey belong to me, no matter how many stars I wish upon… I dunno who to praise for Monkey but ALL PRAISE Kazuya Minekura for Saiyuki! Only the main adversaries of the Tripitaka-ikkou are mine!
Summary: Monkey and Saiyuki are based on the same legend. What happens when the Sanzo-ikkou meet a group somehow so familiar and yet so different? Not shounen ai. Please Read & Review :)
Warnings: None really. This is not a yaoi story though there are hints scattered here and there because Gojyo and Hakkai really should be together. I mean hell, the hints are littered throughout the official manga, even if Gojyo is a skirt chaser!
Distorted Mirror
Ch 5
"Monkey!" Tripitaka called breathlessly as he ran back into the tavern.
Monkey and everyone else looked up expectantly at the excited, puffed priest. "What's wrong, Master?" He asked in concern, getting up from his seat and rushing over to the slight priest.
"There is… a small army of monsters… on the horizon." He explained, trying to catch his breath, "They are heading straight toward this town. You and Pigsy and Sandy, you must get the town's people to safety."
"Which way are they, Master?" Monkey asked, his eyes filling with a combination of both concern and excitement. The way he was fidgeting, the others thought Monkey was about to jump out of his skin.
Tripitaka pointed in the general direction that he had seen the youkai advancing from and Monkey grinned, "Leave them to me. You stay with the town's people." Tripitaka's eyes widened with worry as Monkey turned to Pigsy and Sandy, "You two protect the Master and the town." He ordered.
"But Monkey, a small army? You can't possibly think that you can handle that many monsters alone? It's impossible, even for you!" Sandy protested.
"If I can fight the whole of Heaven to a standstill, I can handle a few monsters." Monkey replied confidently, his body now fully to attention.
"Heaven was never bloodthirsty!"
"I dunno 'bout that." Pigsy muttered more to himself than anything. His comment gained him strange looks from both Sandy and Tripitaka. Monkey just ignored him.
"I am the Great Sage, Equal of Heaven!" Monkey proclaimed arrogantly, believing that that was all that was necessary to say in order to win the argument. Once he finished speaking, he turned his head to the door and then, with the rest of his body following suit, he strode through the tavern's exit.
Outside, Monkey stopped and raised his right hand, index and middle finger extended to just above his right shoulder, in line with his ear and he started to blow. As he blew, he passed his hand rapidly back and forth in front of his face performing his cloud-summoning spell. When he was about halfway through he turned, interrupted, when he heard a loud, bubbly girl's voice yell out in a challenging cry. "Hage Sanzo, today I'm going to take your scripture for onii-chan!" she cried as Tripitaka, Sandy and Pigsy finally followed Monkey outdoors. Monkey looked where the voice had come from and to his surprise saw that the Sanzo-ikkou were already outside, ahead of him and by the looks of things, headed in the direction that Tripitaka had seen the monsters. They had stopped in their tracks as a young, red headed girl stood, barring their way and pointing directly at the monk.
Sanzo twitched and in exasperation, he cupped his face in his hand 'Not now! Why now?'
Hakkai tried to swallow his laughter at Sanzo's distress. He was not very successful.
"Hi Lirin!" Goku called cheerfully, "How about some other time?"
Gojyo glanced at Sanzo with a cheeky grin "Why don't you greet your girlfriend properly?" He immediately backed off a couple of steps as the monk levelled his gun at the hanyou.
"My what?" Sanzo threatened.
"Uh, that is, why don't you have some fun with Lirin?" Gojyo grinned again, amending his suggestion in a tone that strongly suggested he was still thinking lewd thoughts.
Sanzo clicked off the safety.
The hanyou took another step backwards "Uh, nothing Sanzo-sama." He said in a conciliatory tone, though there was still a hint of mockery hidden within.
"Tch!"
"Are you going to give me the sutra?" she asked in a mischievous tone.
"What do you think!" Sanzo snapped, annoyed.
Lirin grinned in an almost predatory fashion and lunged at the monk yelling "Lirin-chan punchii!"
Sanzo neatly sidestepped, as though the young youkai were a charging bull and he, the matador.
Lirin sounded disappointed but then brightened, "I missed but I wont miss this time!" She charged again, fist pulled back.
As the hyperactive red-headed girl was about to connect, Sanzo pressed a meat bun into her hand. The youkai immediately ground to a halt and started eating her prize in delight.
Tripitaka smiled happily, 'Maybe I misjudged Sanzo,' he thought 'he stopped that fight without resorting to violence.'
Goku cried out "That's not fair Sanzo! I want a meat bun as well!"
Sanzo glared at the teenager "No!"
"But Sanzouuu, you gave Lirin one."
"That was to shut the brat up." He answered harshly.
"Its not fair!"
"Deal with it." Sanzo stated, "Lets go!" The monk stepped forward only to be halted by Lirin's hand wrapping around his arm and holding him there. Sanzo looked down at her to see her grinning back at him. In an irritated tone, he snapped, "What? I fed you, now go away!"
"Eh heh!" Lirin laughed in that mischievous way she had and then, even as Sanzo tried to take a single step away, the girl jumped, landing so that she was sitting on top of his shoulders.
"Get off!"
"Nope!" Lirin laughed, holding his head while swinging her legs.
Gojyo laughed, "Now that is why you should never feed small animals. Thought you would have learned that one by now." He mocked. Sanzo pointed his gun at the kappa for what seemed like the twentieth time that day, so Gojyo, trying to choke back his laughter added "Sanzo-sama!"
Sanzo glared at Gojyo with a look that could have frozen the kappa solid but said to Lirin "Get, the hell, off of me, before I kill you!"
"Not gonna!" Lirin laughed in a singsong voice.
Sanzo gritted his teeth in frustration. He didn't want to actually kill the girl, not literally, but he had to think of some way to get her off of his shoulders in which his reputation for being a cold, ruthless bastard wouldn't be ruined. They still had an army of youkai to deal with. An army, he thought, which was undoubtedly getting closer to the town with each passing second.
"Lirin!" A no-nonsense voice called out, "I told you to wait with the rest of us."
"Onii-chan!" Lirin called back happily, swinging her legs out once more, much to the extra annoyance of the monk she was on top of.
"Why are you here?" Kougaiji demanded to know.
"We were very worried." Yaone added with a smile in Hakkai's direction as she and Dokugakuji stepped into view.
"Eh heh! I came to get Hage Sanzo's scripture." She answered in a proud voice, then a little quieter she added, "I didn't mean to worry anyone, onii-chan."
Kougaiji sighed, his expression softening into a look that clearly showed how much he cared for his younger sister. "Next time, wait for us. We wasted time looking for you and mother's army," his face twisted a little at the word mother, "is getting impatient to attack."
"Your youkai army then, I take it!" Sanzo stated in an unsurprised and unimpressed voice.
"Yes, unfortunately this time, I had no say in the matter. This time, we will be taking the Maten Kyoumon. A fight is unavoidable! I can't hold back that army for too much longer so lets take this away from this town so that no-one else needs to get hurt." Kougaiji looked directly at Sanzo while he spoke.
Tripitaka felt tremendously relieved, now perhaps, the town's people would be safe. Sanzo obviously agreed as well based on the curt nod he gave the red haired prince.
All three groups headed off briskly out of town to where the youkai army stood waiting. On the way, Hakkai and Yaone walked together.
"It's been awhile since we last saw each other." Yaone smiled happily at Hakkai. A smile which was returned.
"It has." Hakkai replied. "How have you been?"
Yaone laughed gently. "Very busy but good, Hakkai-san."
Monkey walked over to them curiously. He had also noted that Gojyo and Dokugakuji were also walking together, talking. "Are you lot enemies or friends?" he asked in confusion.
Yaone looked to the ground, a soft but embarrassed smile covering her face.
"Both," Hakkai chuckled, "but technically enemies."
"If circumstances only could be different and we weren't forced by necessity to be enemies…" Yaone said wistfully.
Monkey nodded sagely, "Then change the circumstances."
"It's not that easy." The purple haired youkai woman replied softly.
"What's with those two?" Monkey asked pointing to Gojyo and Dokugakuji.
Hakkai gave a laugh, "They are long lost brothers." He explained.
Monkey smiled and shook his head, "I'm not even going to ask about that girl and the homicidal monk." The trio watched the aforementioned pair and Goku with amusement clear on their faces. Lirin was still on top of an extremely pissed off Sanzo's shoulders and Goku was by Sanzo's side, still whining in the hopes of receiving a meat bun too.
Kougaiji was ahead of everyone, walking with a graceful, regal confidence that was clear to even the most casual observer.
After a short time, the large group of people, both from this world and from the other reached their destination. An even larger group of youkai immediately encircled them, only to back off at a commanding look from their prince, in order to give the Sanzo-ikkou, Tripitaka-ikkou and Kougaiji-tachi some room.
Sanzo growled at Lirin again. "Get! The! Hell! Off! Of! Me!"
"Uh uh!" Lirin laughed.
In frustration, Sanzo once more cupped his head in his hand for a moment then, he suddenly reached into his sleeve pulling out another meat bun. "Do you want it? If so, get off me! If not, I give it to the saru!"
"I want it!" Lirin cried happily and jumped off the monk's shoulders, taking the bun as Sanzo handed it to her.
"That's really not fair!" Goku cried as Sanzo quickly moved several meters away from the girl, placing Hakkai and Gojyo between them for some protection. Not that he needed any protection that is.
Lirin looked around as she started to eat and grinned when she saw where the monk had gone and ran to him, grabbing his left sleeve and utterly refusing to let go even as he attempted, several times, to snatch his sleeve away.
"Since there is no way that you are willing to hand over the Maten Kyoumon. Lets get this fight over with." Kougaiji said, all business as he looked determinedly into Sanzo's eyes.
Sanzo gave a consenting nod even as he continued trying to pull away from the girl. Goku stepped up to face the youkai prince, Hakkai in front of Yaone and Dokugakuji faced Gojyo. Hakkai and Yaone exchanged apologetic looks and bowed to one another.
Dokugakuji said, "Looks like it's you and me again little brother."
Gojyo grinned in return, "Looks that way, doesn't it?" he drawled.
Tripitaka felt as though events were spiralling out of control at an unmanageable rate. "Please!" he called out "Surely there must be some other way. There is no need to fight. You seem like reasonable people." He looked desperately at Kougaiji as he pleaded for the hostilities to be avoided.
Kougaiji glanced at the visiting priest and said. "We aren't doing this because we want to. We… I have no choice, we are fighting because we need to." He paused and then added, "The best I could manage was to move the fight to a locale where there were no innocent bystanders. You should not have followed." He faced Goku once more then, and as if by an unspoken agreement, the youkai prince and the teenage earth youkai ran at each other, signifying the start of battle as they exchanged several blows before springing apart once more.
Kougaiji was the very appearance of stern determination while Goku was very clearly excited by the thrill of the adrenalin rush. Monkey watched for a moment, somewhat jealous that the teenager was the one fighting the red haired prince, the one who was obviously, by far, the strongest out of all the opponents. Monkey then grinned and joined Sandy and Pigsy in fighting against the army.
Sanzo shook his sleeve irritably once more, "Let go!" he growled at Lirin.
"Eh heh!" The girl laughed, " I'm happy holding onto you." She grinned up at the twitching monk.
"Kuso, I can't load my gun very easily with you hanging off my arm, you annoying, noisy brat!" he tried to explain, failing miserable to get though to her. She just continued to grin and held on tighter. Sanzo sighed and managed, somehow, to reload his weapon, firing off the five rounds in rapid succession. With each well-placed bullet, the monk was able to remove a youkai from the fray. He then had to suffer Lirin's unintentional hindering of his normally fast reload so he could empty his banishing gun into the surrounding youkai all over again.
Tripitaka and Yuu-Loong, as usual in his equine form, stayed fairly close to Sanzo, in the centre of all the chaos. Monkey was somewhat relieved about that. He realised that Tripitaka would be safer near the monk, rather than wandering around the battlefield, plus, he could more easily keep an eye on the priest if he stayed in one place.
Monkey smashed his Magic Wishing Staff against a sword belonging to one of his opponents. The sword shattered from the impact and the monkey king followed that swing up with another that hit the youkai in her side, just under her ribs. She fell to the ground in pain and glared up at her enemy. Monkey grinned at her, his battle lust in full swing. "Surrender!" he demanded.
"Never!" She spat, "I fight for Lord Kougaiji and Lady Gyokumen Kyoushu, I will not shame myself nor my Lord or Lady." The youkai pounced from her fallen position, claws extended, straight for Monkey's throat.
With a jabbing motion from his staff, monkey easily placed a hole in her chest where her heart should be. She screamed and died, disintegrating on the wind. Monkey blinked in surprise, the female youkai having been the first person he had killed in this world. "Nice!" he commented to himself, "They even clean up after themselves." He grinned and attacked two of the enemy at once, defeating them just as easily.
By the time Monkey was finishing off his fifth opponent, Pigsy was still caught up in battle with only his second. He hadn't had much trouble with the first youkai that he had fought but this fight was taking a little longer and there were so many of the enemy. Suddenly, the pig spirit stiffened in attention. "So sorry!" he said to his opponent, barely paying attention to the enraged, bloodthirsty youkai, "I see someone I would much rather play with than you." Pigsy quickly managed to slip past his sparring partner's defences and knocked him out with a quick blow to the head from his muck rake. Pigsy then ran after the youkai who had managed to catch his attention, singing out as he ran. "Lady, oh laaaadyyyyy!"
Pigsy caught with the youkai, "Hi." he said hanging his head slightly to attempt to give himself an almost shy appearance. The effect however was somewhat spoilt by the prominent lecherous grin currently splitting his face. The youkai gave him a dirty look then attacked him with her foot long twin blades, one after another. Pigsy dodged, managing to nearly look graceful as he did.
"You're beautiful, you know." Pigsy said in a hopeful voice. "Did you know that pigs are beautiful and friendly too?" As the youkai tried lunging with her blades once more, he sidestepped and pinched her butt.
She dropped her blades from the sudden shock and then slapped him. "You are not beautiful, you're disgusting and a little too friendly for my liking." The youkai said harshly as she reached down for her fallen blades.
Pigsy looked heartbroken for a moment and then brightened, "But you admit I'm friendly!" he said happily. As the woman began to rise, he moved in fast and gathered the green haired beauty in his arms, pulling her forward, his mouth puckered ready for a kiss.
She stared at him, initially frozen as she was drawn forward toward the horrifying smooch from the lecherous pig spirit. Then, she shrieked! She immediately felt mortified by her weakness, she had never shrieked nor screamed like that before in her entire life. Pigsy however, seemed to remain blissfully oblivious to her distress. As their lips began to lock, she noticed to her further disgust, the slight drool emanating from his mouth. The revulsion enticed her into action as she kneed him, hard! Pigsy dropped, moaning as she jammed her blades against his throat.
"I am going to kill you for your effrontery!" she hissed angrily. "I would have happily done it anyway as part of my job but now, it's become personal. You will bleed to death, slowly, like the pig you are. Just think yourself lucky swine, that I don't have a rusty spoon handy or I would gut you with that instead!"
Pigsy looked up at her, his eyes wide with shock. "You… surely you wouldn't kill Pigsy, would you?" he asked plaintively and batted his eyelashes in what he hoped was a sexy manner.
Her lips curled back in even more disgust, "Watch me!" She held one blade over his throat while she moved the other down his body. The furious youkai was just beginning to make the cut when she felt a sudden pain and she distantly noticed that she was falling.
"I know the stupid pig can be a pain at times," Pigsy heard Sandy say in a calm voice, "but that is no reason to kill him. You should have just knocked him unconscious and tied him up."
Pigsy held up his hand to Sandy in the hopes that the fish spirit would help him up. "Thank you brother." Pigsy said a little shakily as Sandy hesitatingly took his hand.
You're an idiot." Sandy remarked and let go. Pigsy, only halfway up, fell back to the ground.
"Sandyyy!" The pig spirit whined, "Why did you drop me?" But even if Pigsy didn't see Sandy fighting off the four youkai who had decided to try to exploit their inattentiveness, he would have been able to tell from the sound of metal on metal, clashing at high speed.
"Pigsy, get up and help!" Sandy demanded. "This current mess is your doing."
Pigsy swallowed as he hurriedly pulled himself to his feet, grabbed his previously abandoned muckrake and helped the fish spirit to rid themselves of the extra unwanted attention.
Hakkai could barely see. Visibility was incredibly poor at that moment due to the fact that his opponent had just thrown several small bombs in his direction. On impact with the ground at his feet, they had thrown dirt into the air and had created a shower of small rocks and pebbles that had pelted him before he was able to fully manifest his defensive chi shield.
"Hakkai-san, are you alright?" Yaone asked in concern. She knew she shouldn't feel so worried about her enemy but unfortunately, knowing that fact didn't prevent her from feeling concern.
Hakkai gave a small smile. "I am fine Yaone-san." He sent a chi blast towards where her voice had come from. The green-eyed youkai was finally able to make out Yaone's movement through the slowly clearing, debris when she jumped to avoid his attack.
As they continued their fight, the two were slowly finding it easier and easier to move around without interference from all the surrounding youkai. The numbers had been significantly dropping, mainly due to the skills of Sanzo and Monkey.
Yaone summoned her spear weapon and lunged at Hakkai with all the intentions of running him through but even as he dodged, she found herself pulling back on the attack a little. Yaone sighed in frustration at herself. She would do anything for her lord but if that was the case, why couldn't she bring herself to finish off the green eyed youkai fighting oppositely to her? 'I'm sorry Kougaiji-sama but I cannot kill this man, no matter how much I should do so. We only need to get the Maten Kyoumon so I'll just have to find another way to remove him from our path.' The purple haired apothecary thought desperately. After another minute or two of fighting, she pulled out more of her small bombs and this time threw them directly at Hakkai, anticipating the path that he took to avoid her missiles.
One of them struck her target and his faced filled with surprise. Hakkai discovered to his dismay that it was filled with some sort of gas and tried not to breath it in. However, he was too late. He realised that his head was already swimming and he couldn't keep on his feet. He had only breathed in a small amount, it wasn't enough to immediately knock him out but he was helpless and couldn't find the will to return to his feet as he fought desperately against sleep.
Yaone's concerned face appeared in Hakkai's waning field of vision just as he lost the ability to keep his eyes open. "I'm sorry Hakkai-san. This was the only way." If she said any more, it was lost to him as the darkness finally became complete.
Gojyo and Dokugakuji had been duking it out for a while without much in the way of results. They were simply too evenly matched and even though they hadn't seen each other for years and then once they had, they hadn't had any real chances or time to get to know each other again, they were brothers. On some level, deep inside, they knew each other, they could anticipate each other and that made it that much harder for a clear victor to easily emerge between the two. Unless something happened that would give one an extra added incentive, something to push them that much harder, like the immediate life threatened condition of one they cared about, their fight was likely to go on all day.
Gojyo was using his shakujou, taking advantage of both its long range of attack when he could and its short effective range of both attack and defence when necessary. By necessity, most of the time during this particular fight, he was mainly sticking to the short ranged use of shakujou.
Dokugakuji, or Jien as Gojyo used to know him as, had a sword with intricate patterns and what looked like an eye on both the handle and the blade of the weapon. He was very skilled in the use of his well-constructed, powerful sword and his speed was such that that he was able to get in close to his younger brother, at least halving the effectiveness of shakujou's potential use.
So, the two brothers clanged and slashed their respective weapons against each other as the afternoon went on, neither making any effective progress in this fight but both determined to win. Gojyo, for his own sake and though he would be reluctant to admit it, he was determined to win for his friends. Dokugakuji needed to win for the sake of his best friend, the one who had given him a chance and a place to call home when he had needed it the most. So, they fought on.
Kougaiji swore to himself, 'That bitch! If she hadn't insisted on them coming, my people wouldn't have thrown their lives away so uselessly.' He aimed a punch at Goku's head, his fist encircled in flame. Unsurprisingly, the prince watched as the young monkey like teenager dodged the flaming fist, even as Kougaiji followed through with a kick, nicking Goku in his side. The red head realised that the contact of his kick wasn't enough to have any real effect so he spun around, kicking out again, hoping this time for more of an impact. He got his desire as Goku was knocked back, flying several meters and impacting with an old dead tree lying in the battlefield.
Goku cried out from the sudden pain but returned quickly to his feet, hardly missing a beat. Kougaiji was already in front of him with a slight smile covering his face and he aimed two lightning fast punches at his opponent. One was dodged, just, while the other hit with the full impact.
'I finally have him on the defensive,' Kougaiji thought. 'I have to make sure that I don't give him a chance to reverse the situation. Hahaue, I will free you! Wait for me.' His face contorted slightly as he stepped up his attack with a series of vicious punches, kicks and elbows to the struggling Goku.
A few minutes passed by and Goku was left lying on the ground after the repeated assault, his eyes closed in pain and breathing rapidly. Kougaiji stared down at him, drawing back a fist. He planned to finish this fight, as he didn't want the teenager to interrupt him when he took the Maten Kyoumon. As his fist began its descent, Goku's eyes snapped open and a freshly determined expression replaced the pained one that had been previously evident on his face.
"ARRGH!" Goku yelled as he jumped to his feet, driving his fist into Kougaiji's stomach. "I," Goku huffed, the pain from his beating still evident in his voice, "will not lose!"
Kougaiji grimaced as he struggled to remain standing. The two stared at each other for several seconds before Kougaiji smiled one of his fairly rare smiles. "You are a good sparring partner Goku but I must walk away victorious. I simply cannot afford to lose."
Goku grinned back, "Neither can I, lets finish this!"
Kougaiji and Goku resumed their battle, this time neither dominating. As they sprang away from each other after another series kicks, punches and blocks, the fiery prince began throwing fireballs at the earth born youkai.
"Nyoi-bo!" Goku summoned, using the extendible staff to knock the fireballs directly back at the one who had thrown them.
The youkai prince blocked his returned fireballs before they could hit him with newly thrown ones. As they collided in mid-air, the resulting explosion of fire and heat singed the small amount of remaining plant life and the two fighter's clothing.
To Kougaiji's annoyance, Goku grinned at him as though everything was one big game. It wasn't and that irked him all the more. He surrounded himself with flame as both he and Goku ran at one another once more, when suddenly, the bright afternoon lit up even more brightly. It was a brightness that was just about blinding and was tinged with a purple tint. The two stopped mid fight, looked at each other in surprise and then looked around at their surroundings. There was a deafening crash and Goku's eyes widened in horror at the same moment that Kougaiji's face grew extremely worried.
Several forks of purple tinted energy resembling lightning had crashed into the ground, just less than thirty centimetres from where Lirin stood, still gripping Sanzo's robe sleeve tightly, they both fell. Tripitaka and Yuu-Loong were a few short meters behind them. There were several cries of concern from all over the battlefield, most noticeably from Goku and Yaone.
"Lirin-sama!" Yaone cried.
"Sanzouuu!" Goku yelled, fear filling the teenagers voice.
Kougaiji felt the fear for his younger sister sharply as it ran him through. "Lirin!" he hissed in a barely audible voice.
To be continued…
AN:
Hahaue: haha is mother and ue as I found out from a native Japanese speaker tonight (Arigatou Inoue-san) is another honorific and basically makes Hahaue translate to dear mother grins very fitting for our Kougaiji-sama.
Just a note about the youkai deaths, in the anime of Gensoumaden Saiyuki, the way they 'toned down' the violence was by having youkai disintegrate instead of leaving messy and bloody bodies lying about. The manga has the bodies. I definitely based the Saiyuki side of this story on the anime when I originally wrote it.
Sorry for the delay in updating, around the time I would have been due to update, I wasn't very well and in no way would I have been able to type up this chapter even halfway decently. However I found one of my Monkey episodes I have been looking for for ages (almost all my season two eps seem to be missing… its annoying as that is where Yuu-Loong comes into the series and it's hard to characterise him without re-watching eps I haven't seen for years) Anyway, I found out how to officially spell his name but I will stick with the way I have it as that sounds like how it is pronounced, at least if it was Japanese that is how it would probably be spelt
Thank you to those who reviewed, I really appreciate it :-)
Me-Nuriko: Heh! Yeah I very much doubt that Tripitaka would have been too thrilled with the way Sanzo and the others behave considering the way he goes on at Monkey a lot of the time, even when Monkey is right (which is most of the time) And as for Monkey, he was never the sort to not react if someone said something particularly insulting. A lot of the time he will ignore Sandy and Pigsy because he is so used to them and he insults them back, more Pigsy though…
Nobody In Particular: Thank you, I really wanted to see what would happen myself which is why I started this. Though I definitely prefer Kazuya Minekura's group. They are much more interesting and bishi :-)
Nicole Dyria: Thanks, I have been trying really hard to keep everyone in character. Saiyuki is easier because I am downloading a new episode every week and can keep everyone fresh in my mind, Monkey is a little harder because I am not watching that or even reading it constantly and the episodes I can find are limited, especially where Yuu-Loong is concerned, I can only find 3 of the eps with him… Lucky, the majority of the time he is in his horse form but there will be a bit of Yuu-Loong human form next chapter.
