Hakkai: G'morning all! *stretch stretch* Resha, did you have a nice sleep last night?

Resha: Sorry, but I couldn't. I was insecure since Gojyo was beside me all night... *red eyes* Hakkai, watch him for me okay... I am going to sleep... *snores*

Hakkai: *giggle giggle* As usual, they do not own Gensomaden Saiyuki. The great Kazuya Minekura does.

Note: This is the same story as The Angel's Journey, we made a year ago. But changed a lot of plot.

Episode 5: Sacrifice

They stopped when it was Sunset. It was orange and it looked very romantic. They were lucky to find an oasis in the journey. The day was hot and Gojyo was drinking the water desperately.

"San~zo, I am hungry…" In a bolt of blue, Erika threw a dumpling into his mouth. He chewed. "Better let him hunger than feed him," Sanzo said angrily.

"Sanzo, you got to be nice to him. He's only a kid," Erika said and Sakura agreed. "By the way, why aren't we in town?" Sakura turned at them all, "I mean, should there be a town nearby? I don't want to spend the night sleeping on the ground and hurt my back."

"Get used to it," Sanzo said. "Erika…" Sakura faced her and she had questioned look, "Are you sure we never meet before? I mean I sense that I know you… are you my sister?" "How can she be your sister when you don't have any confidence like her," Gojyo corrected and crashed down when Sakura threw the paper fan to him like a boomerang. "She's a fast learner," Hakkai praised and Sanzo grabbed the paper fan back.

"Don't you remember anything?" Erika pondered curiously. "Well, this necklace tells me that I have a fiancee," She showed her necklace. Erika took a look at it and his eyes widen, "'K'… and 'S'…? To Chan Sakura, love from your fiancee. Wait a minute…" She looked at Sakura, who was looking at it, "Her fiancee was Homura but why 'K'?"

"There's something craved behind that necklace," Goku pointed, he was shorter than both of the girls. Erika turned the necklace, "Constant with the stars above, you know that you are loved…?"

"I bet this man is one romantic man," Sakura smiled looking at it, "I am looking forward to meet him." "I know now…" Erika thought and smiled, "When she was here with Konzen-sensei, they made love and their love with never fade away, no matter what."

"I can make you remember," Erika said in chibi and everyone looked at her. "How?" Sakura was pleased. Erika grabbed the paper fan from Sanzo and hit Sakura's face again and again with it, "There? Do you remember anything?"

Her eyes changed into swirls and she crashed down into the water behind her. The boys shared a huge sweat drop behind their head. Sakura stood up and choked Erika up, "NO, I still don't remember!" She was soaking wet. She walked to the land like a giant, "I need to have my night bath."

They set up the camp there and it evening. Goku looked left, right, back and front. Gojyo pointed at him looking at Hakkai, who shrugged. He put off his T.shirt with a happy expression. The girls walked out from their camps giggling and in a bolt from the blue, Goku quickly blocked his body with his shirt smiling. Sanzo was behind him and had an irritated look. Goku crashed down in a flash as Sanzo hit him right on his head. The girls entered in the women's part of bathing while the boys waited at the opposite part. The place can be used by travelers since in the middle of the oasis, it had blocks of rocks to cover the girls from the boys.

The girls were cozy in the cold water and they would rather be in it than walking under the hot sun. Sanzo wasn't having a bath, he was looking up the sky, remembering the beautiful princess that always appear in his dream for his return. He was sitting on top of the rock; that snapped Erika. She called Sakura softly and pointed at Sanzo. She squeaked softly and Erika whispered to her as she had an idea. Sanzo yelped as the girls throw a big rock on her that the other boys shared the same huge sweat drop. The girls high-five each other for their success. Sanzo had big veins popping out from the rock and stood up angrily that pushed the huge rock away. The girls were giggling and Sanzo stopped when he saw Gojyo peeking in chibi. He threw the rock to him and he was squeezed. "Serves you right," Sanzo was proud.

Erika, who couldn't stand missing Hakkai, climbed up the rocks and looked passionately at him. She sighed when he had a cute look. "Erika, what are you doing?" Sakura looked up at her baffled and she had vertical lines on her face when the boys looked up. Hakkai, for no reason, slipped into the water that made the boys changed their case to him. It was a long minutes that he haven't popped out. Sanzo, who reacted so fast, jumped in the water to help him but Hakkai was already out, "I was foolish…" Sanzo popped out from the water with an irritated look. He was soaking wet.

Sanzo's cloak was hanged in the middle of the palm tree and he looked very annoyed and cold. He looked at Hakkai but he just shrugged. He looked at Gojyo; he looked refused. He looked at Sakura, who handed out her biggest trousers. His eyes were irritated and grabbed the trousers. Erika handed out a big red cloak but with a slit on the waist that gave Sanzo goose bumps.

Sanzo walked out from his camp and Gojyo and Goku puffed out laughed. "You look very pretty, Sanzo," Gojyo praised and he aimed the gun at him.

"Remind me again, I'll kill you," He said angrily. "Chill, Sanzo," Sakura smiled, "History can write about you." "Genjo Sanzo with slit on the waist…" Erika added in chibi made her crashed down when Sanzo hit her with the paper fan. He aimed the gun at Sakura, who was giggling but she didn't pay attention. He grumbled and put back his gun.

"Who's still hungry?" Sakura asked innocently and Goku, obviously raised his arm.

"Me! Me!" She stood up and took Sanzo's cloak that was hanged. The other looked at her move and eyes widen when she made his cloak as fish bait.

"What are you doing with my clothes?" Sanzo hit her head angrily and took back his cloak to dry.

"I was going to fish…" She said with lip alert. "Not using my clothes!" He said angrily and she pouted.

Goku was sitting outside alone since he couldn't go to sleep. He looked at the sky and saw visions of his old friends. He looked down and drew his friends on the sand, "Who are they anyway?" They were the Konzen's party, Nataku, the beautiful princess; who Sanzo always dreamed and a pretty girl with long green hair. He stopped and rubbed the sand so no one will see it. He stood up, "Show yourself, demon!"

"Demon? Where? Where?" Sakura popped out from her camp and Erika still had her eyes closed. "I want to fight him! I want to fight him!" She rushed forward in chibi but Gojyo pulled her collar.

"Stop there, horsy," He said and looked at the demon, "Who might you be very rude to attack middle of the night?"

"So…" The demon's voice raised from the trees, "Chan Sakura had joined the party."

Sakura stopped seriously, "How do you know my name?"

"Isn't it obvious when you joined in the party?" Eirka reminded yawning.

"Oh… I knew that…" She replied with a sweat drop.

"What's all the fuss here?" Sanzo walked out his camp and the demon had his jaw dropped down.

"Was I given the wrong information? They said 4 men and 2 girls," The demon said in squeaky tune that Sanzo pulled the trigger towards him. "Hm… Genjo Sanzo, if I am not mistaken," He guessed, "This Genjo Sanzo act like a woman." Sanzo shot him again and again but couldn't get aim.

Every one of them battled the demon and lasted for along time. He was very good that he hurt both Gojyo and Goku. Erika started healing them. Hakkai collected his Ki and threw it to the demon. He laughed and hit the Ki which headed to Sanzo's cloak.

"Sorry Sanzo," Hakkai apologized and more veins popped out from his head. The demon saw Erika busy healing and aimed at her. He ran towards her with sharp fangs.

"Erika!" Hakkai yelled and blocked her. He was stabbed on the waist and Erika's eyes widen.

"Hakkai?" He fell down on the ground with a pleased smile and bloods follow from his body. "Hakkai!" Erika crawled towards him.

"Why you darn demon," Sakura headed towards him but he kept dodging.

Erika put his lower jaw up and let him sit infront of her, "I won't lose you, Hakkai." She used her ultimate, last energy to heal him fully. A white ball occurred from her palms that she pushed it into Hakkai's body.

Sanzo kept shooting but it was useless. "Try that for a change," Sanzo pointed Sakura from behind and she slashed him into half. "That's the consequence to hurt my friends," She said angrily.

"Hakkai, I'll come back for you. Wait for me, I promise," Erika's eyes filled with tears and she was fading away. She transformed into small white balls that floated in front of Hakkai. He opened his eyes and looked everyone, "Where's Erika?" No one replied and he looked at the white balls in front of him, it transformed into a scarlet ribbon and landed onto his lap, "Erika…" "I promise, Hakkai. Wait for me."

They were on the road the next day and Hakkai looked different. Sakura was as usual in middle of Hakkai and Sanzo and she was sewing Sanzo's cloak. "It's a good thing Erika thought me how to sew," She pouted angrily, "I'll have my revenge!" Hakkai looked up the sky and visualized Erika smiling in the air, "Erika…" Sakura stopped sewing and looked at him.

What happened before - "Hakkai…" She said in a soft tune, "Is it alright if I follow you everywhere?" Hakkai smiled with a questioned huh. She looked down and her fangs blocked her eyes, "Is it alright if I am in love with you?" Hakai held on her hands and she blushed looking up at him, "Hakkai?" "You can follow me everywhere and you can be in love with me too," He had the cutest look and her eyes changed, sign of happiness. They were getting nearer and Eirka lost her blush bit by bit, "Ha…kkaii…" She closed her eyes and their lips meet. They stopped and crashed down when they heard Sanzo's usual voice and had sweat drops.

"Oi, continue your sewing," Sanzo ordered, actually he was concerned. "Stupid-monkey!" "Pervert Ero Kappa!" She looked left and right with a questioned and continued sewing while pouting about Sanzo. "I'll wait for you, Erika…" Erika smiled in the air at them.
