Miakaghost: OMG! 19 reviews? Wow! I'm really good! Oh, thank you for all your kind reviews! Now, to continue with the story!

Jeep: Good. I was wondering what happened to Gojyo.

Miakaghost: Because all the others are busy with the story, Jeep will be my co-narrator!

Jeep: Yep! And all it took were three volumes of Saiyuki reload, two boxes of Botan Rice Candy, and ten boxes of strawberry pocky! ……Seriously, don't ask about the pocky.

Attitude Doesn't Always Equal Age

Chap.8

"What, monkey? What did she do?" Gojyo asked. He was well aware he didn't fee like himself, but as to exactly what he felt like, it was unknown.

"Gojyo-ojisan, you have hooves!" Hakkai pointed out, pointing a clawed finger to Gojyo's newly gained horse half.

"Huh? What am I?" He gasped. Goku rolled on the floor, laughing hysterically along-side Lirin.

"That's not all!" He gasped out between fits of laughter.

"Gojyo, look." Kougaiji held a mirror up for Gojyo to see. After a moment of silence…

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" A high pitched shriek rang out, as Gojyo saw the new cleavage his chest was boasting. "Wonderful….I'm a girl…and a…a…exactly what am I?"

"Um….I believe it's a centaur. A female centaur." Yaone pointed out.

"A centaur….I'm a female centaur." Gojyo looked back at the horse half. Not nessesarily bad-looking, really. A good chestnut colored hair covering it, with a golden tail, and iridescent ebon black hooves. If he were into horses, he'd agree that he looked pretty good.

"Yes, a centaur. Shiyuko, we need some help here. What do we do?" Sanzo asked the youkai.

"Well, I'm not entirely sure here. But I'm aware of one thing; if Gojyo's going to be a centaur for a while, he, er…for his comfort I'll continue calling him a he….will have to get the fruit from the Tao tree on the edge of the forest. It's the food centaurs eat, along with melons, berries, and a variety of herbs."

"At least I don't eat grass." Gojyo grumbled.

"Yes, but….you're going to need to eat dinner, you know. You and Goku had better gallop there at full speed if you want to get there and back again before the sun sets." Shiyuko warned.

"Gallop? I'm going to have to gallop?" Gojyo paused. "And monkey boy's going to ride me!"

"Unless you think he can keep up with a centaur."

"Grrr….on my back, monkey. And don't pull on my tail." Gojyo warned, letting the boy climb on his back, and trotting down the stairs. "Here we go."

"Gojyo, I'm not so sure about this." Goku whimpered.

"You will be." Gojyo snapped, letting off a burst of speed and jumpstarting the speed to an incredibly fast gallop, which nearly caused Goku to fall off.

"Slow down! I can barely hold on!" Goku whined.

"Just hold on tighter! I want to get back before sunset!" Gojyo shot back, then upon feeling Goku squeeze him tighter, "And don't squish my breasts, pervert!"

"Sorry, Gojyo!" Goku whimpered, as Gojyo slowed to a trot and they arrived a large tree with pink star shaped fruit about the size of apples. "What are you waiting for?"

"You're the one with feet, monkey! You get it!" Gojyo snapped, and watched Goku grumble, then climb up the tree, and start picking fruit, carefully putting it in his pack.

Gojyo crossed his arms on his chest, upset by his transformation, then…heard a rustling in the bushes. He turned around slowly, to inspect the noise.

"Hee hee! A centauress out all alone? What a shame!" A voice cackled.

"I'm not a centauress!" Gojyo snapped.

"Oh, aren't you?" A woman hopped out of the bushes.

To put it simply, she looked like a large rabbit that walked on its hind legs, and wore a red vest, with a golden fringe. Her fur was a light brown, about the same color as Hakkai's hair, Gojyo mused, and her eyes were a bright silver color.

"Huh? What are you?" Gojyo stepped back in surprise.

"Centauress, I'm a Eyri, of course. Didn't you know?"

"No! And I'm too busy fighting Detestai to care about what Eyris are!" Gojyo shot back.

"De-Detestai? Did you just say Detestai?" the Eyri woman was now interested. "We might have use for you, centauress." She pulled a small vial from a brown bag on a belt around her waist,

"Huh?"

When Goku climbed down from the tree, his back bulging with Tao fruit, he saw no sign of the centauress.

"Gojyo? Gojyo! Gojyo!"

A/N: Heh heh. Some of you were partially right, anyways. He –was- turned into a girl, just not a girl half-breed. Originally, I was going to say he was turned into a full demon, but abandoned the idea when I saw how much merit this one had. Enjoy the story, folks!
