Welcome Wagon. Not.

By: YunCynImaginator

YunCyn: This was inspired by scene 28.

Imaginator: (shakes head) You are hopeless, YunCyn.

YunCyn: What?! You gotta admit, it's entirely possible! Anyway, blame Traitor. HE'S my plot bunny.

Imaginator: (raises eyebrow at bunny as well as Muse #1) Muse #1, I hold you responsible for this as well.

Muse #1: What?! And after nearly a YEAR of working with you guys, I STILL don't get a name?!

Muse #2: Do bees make honey? Duh, we don't get names! They're too cheap to name us!

YunCynImaginator: You SERIOUSLY love getting punished, don't you?

Muses: (gulps and scurries away)

YunCynImaginator: We thought so.

Disclaimer: SERIOUSLY, guys, do we look like Kazuya-san? Then again, you've never seen us...

A/N: (slaps forehead) Double spacing, wherefore art thou...?!

"COME BACK HERE, YOU MISFITS!!!"

"FIGHT LIKE MEN, KONO BAKAYARO!!!"

"YOU AIN'T GETTING AWAY WITH WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!"

"THEY'RE GETTING AWAY!! HURRY UP!!"

"GET THEM!!!!!!"

Eight dozen villagers echoed the bloodthirsty cheer with a loud roar. From their point of view, this was entirely justifiable.

As for the unfortunate people being chased by these eight dozen villagers, this was just bloody stupid.

Gojyo glanced back behind him, a mixture of confusion and annoyance on his face. "What the HELL are THEY complaining about?!"

"Ahaha…"

Goku held the same view as his red headed friend. "YEAH!! What've THEY got to complain about!? We're the ones who nearly got FRIED to death!!"

"Not to mention, nearly getting BEATEN to death by an out of control MONKEY!"

"HEY! YOU said the only way we could actually get that Gyumao guy back into his stone statue thingie was to take off my diadem!"

"Well, WHATEVER!! We nearly get FRIED, nearly get EATEN, nearly get turned into mindless ZOMBIES…!"

"Don't forget nearly get turned into little piles of ashes when we had to go through Kougaiji first…"

"Hakkai, I'm REALLY trying to forget that little episode."

"And we even got stuck into hundreds of DEATH TRAPS!! Iron spikes and falling cement beams and sliding floors and quicksand and snakes and-"

"AND we even had to go through mental torture when Mr. Makai-Tenjo-Psycho-I'm-So-Cool-Monk decided to take a NAP when he went up against Nii Jen'ii!!"

BLAM!!

"HEY!! WATCH IT WITH THAT THING!!"

"I didn't NEED you three to hover over me like some worried mother hens." Dead panned Sanzo as his feet pounded across the ground, keeping pace with the rest.

"I DID NO SUCH THING!!"

"Gojyo, you were the one moping about in Sanzo's room."

"Hakkai, YOU were the one moping about in the garden."

"I moped about in the room too!"

"Goku, shut up and run."

"WAAAAAAAAAIT a minute, WHY are we running?! Where's HAKURYU?!!"

"For once the saru has brains: Where IS he!?"

Hakkai looked at the dragon cuddled in the depths of his shirt and sweat dropped. "Ahaha… I'm afraid he's rather… incapable of turning into a jeep at the moment…"

"WHY?!"

"Do you remember when he suddenly fell down almost dead when we were fighting that horde of mutant youkai?"

"Remember? It's gonna haunt us for life."

"Youkai Hakkai… kowaii."

"Ahaha… sorry about that… but it seems that at that time, Hakuryu spent so much energy helping us fend the youkai off, he's too exhausted to turn back into a jeep again."

"Even after Yaone's treatment?!"

"Yaone-san's medicine did help but even she said it would take another week for Hakuryu to gain enough strength."

"ANOTHER WEEK?! I SAW HIM STEALING MY CHICKEN CUTLET YESTERDAY!!"

"Maa… I don't think he really wants to turn into a jeep now…"

"Why you lil'- We're being chased by a mob of angry villagers and you just SIT there?!!"

"Kyuu!"

"Don't KYUU me!!"

"Gojyo, please don't antagonize him any further…"

"AARGH!! They're getting CLOSER!!"

"mumble mumble mumble…"

"AAH!! S-Sanzo, NO!! They're just ordinary ningen!"

"Let him, Hakkai! Let him use the sutra!"

"Otherwise we're gonna be pitchfork and torches fodder!"

"……….. n, no! They're just ordinary people!"

"Hakkai, remove your hand from my face."

"Sorry."

Goku groaned. "What did we do to deserve this ANYWAY?!"

A short pause.

"Wrecking the inns while fighting youkai…" offered Gojyo.

"Destroying the restaurants while fighting youkai…" said Hakkai.

"Mowing down the towns and villages while fighting youkai…"

"Making several All-You-Can-Eat restaurants bankrupt…" said Gojyo pointedly looking at the shortest member of the group.

"Making a few young women mothers without marriage…" pointed out Hakkai with an eyebrow raised at a certain redhead.

"Insulting any temple elders we came across…" muttered Goku, gold eyes flicking to the golden haired guy running alongside them.

"Owing money all over the place thanks to overdue spending…" commented Sanzo, eyeing the other three in particular.

There was silence amongst the four as the list of misconducts seemed to grow. Behind them the growls, yells, shouts, roars and utter expressions of fury and rage seemed to grow with frustration since they couldn't catch up with the Sanzo-ikkou.

Sanzo broke the quiet with the best advice he'd ever given.

"Run. Faster."

A green, orange, white and red blur zoomed far ahead of the angry mob.

That is until they suddenly discovered that the next village they were approaching also had another mob ready and waiting to take revenge on the Sanzo-ikkou for wrecking everything in sight and causing an untold amount of costs worth of damages.

Somehow, Sanzo had a feeling the Three Aspect's Gold Card wasn't going to cover this.

After all, they'd used it already for at least twelve other towns.

Gojyo put into words, the sentiments in the minds of his other comrades.

"We saved the bloody world and this is the thanks we get?!!"

The End.
Imaginator SLIS, I apologize deeply for being incommunicado because for reasons unknown even to me, my computer keeps on crashing. (sweat drop) But I'll try her best to contact you as soon as my computer's fixed and up and running. (bows) Gomenasai!!

YunCyn: I swear, her computer has one heck of a temper.

Imaginator: I keep telling you, it's just overloaded!

YunCyn: That and it doesn't really like you much.

Imaginator: (grumble) Fine, fine...

YunCyn: See you guys in the next scene! (waves)
