It was over.
Gyumaoh's resurection had been stopped. Kougaiji was on his throne as the rightful son and heir. Gyokumen Koushu and her three scientist lackeys had fled as soon as they realized it was too late. The two Sha brothers had separated, back on (reasonably) friendly terms, with promises of future visits. And Sanzo had his master's scriptures.
The ride back had been oddly quiet. And now, standing in front of the temple in Chang'an, an awkward silence fell on the four former travelers.
"So, this is it?" Goku asked, his voice sad.
"Yes, I'm afraid so," Hakkai replied.
Sanzo took a drag on his cigarette. "I could really go for some dinner right about now."
Goku's golden eyes lit up. "Yeah!"
Gojyo also took a drag, thick smoke filtering out through his lips. "Some of the best food I ever had was on our trip. Y'know which place I'm talking about 'Kai?"
Brunette eyebrows knitted. "Do you mean at the inn that girl and her father ran?"
"Houmei, yeah!" Goku interjected. "She was a great cook!"
Sanzo stomped out his cigarette on the dusty ground. "Well, let's go."
The three demons looked at each other then back at the monk, who was climbing back into the passenger seat of the jeep.
"It's not like any of us have anything better to do."
Hakkai chuckled and climbed into the driver's seat. "Besides, it's not our money, right?"
"Damn straight. Those three floating heads owe me."
Gojyo scoffed. "Damn prissy-ass monk. You say the word and we're supposed to just drop everything and go?"
"Get in the car before I shoot you."
Goku stood staring in shock. Someone had definately replaced his Sanzo with a doppleganger. "What are you...?"
"Get in the DAMN CAR, MONKEY!"
SMACK
And they were off.
