"Where are we going today?" Gojyo asked as he entered the car.

"Ah, it looks like we'll be going to the next town after this desert." Hakkai answered with a smile.

"Fine by me, Sanzo what do you think?" Gojyo said.

"We only have one place to go, it's not like we have a choice." Sanzo replied coldly.

When everyone was settled in the car, Hakkai drove off. While driving through the desert, they made a stop because of Goku's incessant complains of being hungry.

"Yay, food!!!" Goku cried out as Hakkai laid out the food they had packed before him.

Gojyo and Goku immediately started fighting over the food while Sanzo got irritated and blasted his gun into the air.

"S-Sorry, Sanzo, I didn't mean to make you mad." Goku stammered.

"Urusai! Just eat your food!" Sanzo commanded.

"Ah… What a peaceful day." Hakkai commented.

----------

"Oh no, I smell trouble." Gojyo said as he looked ahead to the swarm of demons.

"Don't worry, we can handle them!" Goku said as he called out for his almighty rod.

Hakkai stopped the car and the four of them got out. The swarm of demons approached them and stopped mid-track. Their chief demon came out to talk to the Sanzo-ikkou. The chief demon looked nothing like a normal demon. He looked exactly like a human, except for a strange marking like a tattoo on his forehead that glowed blue and his eyes were red.

"Sanzo and his gang, we are commanded to eliminate you." The chief demon said loudly.

"So you do whatever someone tells you to?" Sanzo replied coolly.

"Shut up! See if I kill you today!" The chief demon retorted angrily. His blue marking was glowing brighter than ever.

"Who are you, anyway? You haven't introduced yourself. I'm Gojyo, this is Sanzo, Goku and that's Hakkai." Gojyo asked as he smiled cheekily.

"I'm Captain Hitoshi. The master of sand and sun elements, but that's none of your business, since you're going to die anyway." Hitoshi said.

"What's that big blue thing on your forehead?" Goku asked innocently as he pointed at Hitoshi's head.

"Bakasan!" Sanzo scolded as he whacked Goku's head with a paper fan.

"My blue marking is a symbol that I'm born of the strongest demon gods of the land. That is why there is no way you can defeat me." Hitoshi said proudly.

"Cocky talker," Sanzo said as he threw his cigarette on the floor.

"What did you say?!" Hitoshi exclaimed.

"I said you're a cocky talker! You talk more than you work!" Sanzo blasted out loud.

"Oh you're getting on my nerves… Kill them!" Hitoshi commanded as the demons rushed forward to attack Sanzo and the rest.

The demons rushed forward and Sanzo and the rest easily eliminated them. After a few minutes of fighting passed, Goku was busy fighting off three demons while Sanzo was attacked by a group of five demons.

"Sanzo, are you alright?!" Goku asked as he looked over to Sanzo's side.

"Urusai, monkey!" Sanzo said angrily as he shot the demons in their head.

"Damn. He's treating me this way again. Why does he always do this?" Goku thought in his head.

Goku was losing his concentration as Hitoshi moved forward to attack him. Hitoshi was carrying a large sword and Goku luckily defended a few of his swings. Hitoshi was twice Goku's size and he swung his sword with immense power.

"Damn, he's strong. Where's Sanzo? Is he alright?" Goku kept thinking as he fought Hitoshi half-heartedly.

"Argh!" Sanzo cried out as a demon punched him to the ground.

"Baka you're going to die for that!" Sanzo shouted as he kicked the youkai to the ground and shot him in his face.

"SANZO!" Goku shouted.

Hitoshi took advantage of Goku's distraction and thrust his sword towards Goku's chest. Goku turned back too late and only evaded part of the attack. The sword was thrust into his side and damn did it hurt.

"Goku!!!" Hakkai and Gojyo cried out as they eliminated the rest of the demons and rushed over to Goku's side.

"Oh no, what just happened? Goku's in trouble!" Sanzo thought to himself.

Sanzo looked over to Goku and saw Hakkai and Gojyo helping Goku up from the ground. He was seriously hurt. Hitoshi was laughing like a maniac.

"Stupid monkey, you fight with power, but not with concentration." Hitoshi said.

"Shut up you overgrown crab!" Sanzo shouted as he pointed the gun to Hitoshi's head and shot it once.

The bullet protruded out of the gun and hit the blue marking on Hitoshi's forehead and bounced back.

"Hahahaha! Don't you see? I'm born of the strongest demon gods. A single bullet won't kill me. Now I suggest you better surrender or all of you will end up like this monkey here, or worst. My sword has a poisonous element to it. You should be able to see him shivering in pain now." Hitoshi sneered.

Goku was shivering and his eyeballs rolled up and showed only the white. His condition was getting worse with every minute.

"The only antidote is at the next town. And to get there, you have to kill me first. Any questions?" Hitoshi added.

"Yeah, why won't you ever shut up?!" Gojyo yelled angrily as he ran to attack Hitoshi.

As Gojyo and Hitoshi were fighting, Sanzo tended to Goku.

"Goku… Hang in there! You can't die!" Sanzo yelled as he carried Goku to the car.

"He doesn't look too good, Sanzo. We better finish Hitoshi off as soon as possible." Hakkai explained.

"I'll stay here with Goku. You help Gojyo." Sanzo said coldly.

----------

"Goku's going to die and it's my entire fault again."

"It's not your fault, but you should know how to treasure someone important to you now. Goku doesn't look too good."

"How am I going to help him? I regret it now. I regret treating him this way when he cared for me all along."

"Talk to him and make his will power stronger."

"S-Sanzo…" Goku whispered from his dry lips.

"I'm here! I'm here, Goku! Talk to me!" Sanzo exclaimed, breaking away from his thoughts.

"D-Don't leave me, Sanzo. I think I-I'm going to die soon." Goku stammered.

"Stupid monkey, stop saying that! You're not going to die!" Sanzo said.

A weak smile appeared on Goku's face.

"I-I've enjoyed all the times I had with you, Sanzo." Goku said.

"Yes, and we're going to have a brighter future together, Goku. Don't die on me! I CAN'T LOSE SOMEONE IMPORTANT LIKE YOU!" Sanzo shouted.

"I-I'm glad… I'm glad." Goku said as he passed out with a smile on his face.

Sanzo was furious. Hitoshi was going to get it. Sanzo walked towards Hitoshi and sneered. He had a glint in his eye no one had ever seen before. Sanzo was furious with anger. Sanzo chanted and prayed as a pink glow begin to form over his body. Gojyo and Hakkai were both exhausted from fighting Hitoshi that they fell to the ground.

"PURIFY THE EVIL!!!" Sanzo yelled as the sutras extended and wrapped Hitoshi.

"ARGHHHHHHHHH!" Hitoshi yelled out in pain as the sutra's powers stung his evil body.

"Die, you bastard." Sanzo said coolly.

Hitoshi's large body dispersed into black ashes as Hakkai and Gojyo smiled. They got up and rushed towards Goku.

"He passed out. I don't know how long he will last." Sanzo explained.

"We better get to the next town quick" Hakkai said and sped off in the car.

"Don't die on me, Goku. I've yet to tell you that I love you."

End of chapter.

I don't think that my story's heading towards the Yaoi side. It's more like friendship/brotherly love or a little more than that. But nothing like a serious relationship between Goku and Sanzo. But I feel like doing that! I wonder if I should head my story towards the Yaoi side. Oh well, READ AND REVIEW!!! Cheers.
