Episode 8: Can't Let You Die

The party was camping in the forest and the owls were making their usual sounds in the surrounding but that doesn't scare the girls. "Ero Kappa!" Goku's annoying scream was heard by every animal in the forest, "That last dumpling belongs to me!"

Gojyo gulped thinking, "I didn't see your NAME on it!" "You ate it..." Goku pouted childishly. "Yes, I ate it," Gojyo provoked him. "You Ero..." Goku fisted and Sanzo aimed his gun at them.

"Urusai!" He scolded angrily with a vein. "It's good being a fatherhood," Hakkai got some air after a hot drink and he giggled.

Erika agreed giggling, "Guess your right, Hakkai. They are like brothers." "Brother?" Gojyo and Gojyo glared each other to death.

Gojyo snapped and looked left and right, "By the way, where's Sakura?"

"She said that she is looking for something deep in the forest," Hakkai pointed the forest. "She did?" Why? She could be killed!" Erika worried standing and then sat down, "Nah, who cares, she can watch over herself." A thunder strike and she had her eyes irritated.

"That's because she's a burden," Sanzo overruled and he was heading towards the forest. "But why is Sanzo-sama heading towards the forest?" Gojyo beamed childishly, "Worried about Sakura hime?" Sanzo tsked and retorted, "Watch your mouth or I'll rip it off." He entered the dark forest.

"Really why am I heading this stupid forest?" Sanzo asked himself, "I am not worried about that Neko-headed Sakura." He snapped and saw the beautiful princess in a blue gown that always appears in his dream asking for his return. This one is clearer than before, he could see she had short sky-blue hair looking at him happily.

Meanwhile in the forest, Sakura was having her special lifetime. She was in a river and having a special secret bath. She sighed, "I haven't got any bath for a few days. This is the life." She laid her head on the water. She was of course naked and no one was around. Sanzo reached there and washed his face as he spotted the river. While he was cleaning, he heard a familiar singing voice and felt suspicious.

"Take my hand,

take my whole life to,

but I can't help,

falling in love,

with you..."

She started humming prettily that attracted Sanzo. He then saw Sakura's back. "Aa... I love this world!" She raised up her arms happily. She heard someone's footstep and turned. Her eyes widened immensely as she saw Sanzo. Quickly he shut her mouth to prevent her to scream. Her eyes were still wide opened stunned of Sanzo's sudden arrival.

"Hrmm... hrm... hrm... [what are you doing here, you hentai]" She scolded angrily but he didn't understand a word. "Be quiet!" Sanzo hissed angrily. She nodded and Sanzo pulled away his hands.

"What are you doing here?" She retorted angrily and swam backward, "Are you peeking on me?" "Why would I?" He had irritated eyes, "And who would?"

"Shut up!" She said back angrily. "You were singing and thought that you were a demon," He stood up and turned away. "What demon would sing?" She overruled annoyed, "And besides, you know my voice when I always sing on the way!".

Sanzo looked differently, "... The words are familiar..." She had a question look. "It seemed that I know those lyrics somewhere... somehow..." He added and the silence broke. "Stop staring at me like that!" He said annoyed, "Get dressed before the others get wrong about this." She blushed and agreed. She got up from the river and quickly put on her clothes. "I wish I could stay in the water a little longer," She pouted childishly.

Back at the camping place, Hakkai and Erika were having a great time laughing and smiling together that annoyed Gojyo and Goku, who were on the corner. "What are they talking about?" Goku hissed irritated.

Gojyo shrugged, "I have no idea. But I am very envious that Erika had interest to Hakkai than me!" "Baka, how would Erika had interest in you?" Goku groaned angrily to him and Gojyo whacked his with the cooked fish.

"Okeari nasai," Hakkai and Erika greeted both Sanzo and Sakura. "Where have you two been?" Hakkai asked curiously. "I thought Sanzo went to the deep forest NOT to find Sakura?" Goku overruled childishly, "Beside you did say she was a burden..."

"Bur!? Den!? Whaat!?" Sakura yelled angrily and childishly with veins popping out.

Middle of the night, while they were sleeping. Goddess of Mercy popped out to where in front of Sanzo. Before she could hold his chin, Sanzo woke up hitting her hand.

"What do you want, old lady?" He groaned angrily. "Konzen... No... Genjo Sanzo," She said intensely looking at him.

"I did followed your orders to the west, what more do you want from me?" He stood up angrily. She hehed, "Genjo Sanzo, you have so many problems in your hands." She looked at Sakura sleeping and drooling.

"What do I have to do with her? She's a just a burden," He corrected and put out a cigarette, "And if she goes into danger again, don't expect me to-" He stopped.

"You're wrong. She always been a burden since you meet her," She retorted back softly still looking at Sakura, "But deep inside you, Genjo sanzo, you love to rescue her!"

Sanzo's expression changed and aimed his gun at her. "I've told you a hundred times," She reminded him, "Humans can't kill Gods until you get your memories back, Konzen." She then vanished a few seconds them.

He tsked and put his gun down. He looked down at Sakura, who was sleeping, drooling and snoring.

"Aaa... I won't get from this water..." Sakura was having a dream of her lifetime. Being in the water.

"A burden, huh?" He still stared her and his expression changed when he compared her with the beautiful princess who he knew since a long time. He laid himself back to his mat and tried to get some sleep but he heard bushes. He tsked and threw his cigarette. He was careful and went to sleep.

"So this Genjo Sanzo has some relation with a Goddess who ordered him to west, huh?" A demon said on the tree and threw a fireball towards Sakura. Sanzo's eyes widened in reaction and hit the attack. The demon's eyes widened immensely.

Sakura woke up and blinked. She saw Sanzo in front of her and she blushed red. Their position were right and they others looked at them with dotted eyes, "Sanzo?" "Chat later," Sanzo stood up seriously, "We got a demon to settle!" Sakura looked at his move stupidly. "Since when?" Erika pointed with dotted eyes and Hakkai shrugged.

"But all I can say is we need to exterminate this demon..." Hakkai stood up smiling. "... That disturbed our beauty sleep," Gojyo added annoyed and his weapon appeared.

"Who are you?" Goku screamed at the enemy, "Why do you always want Sakura be to be killed?" He summoned his Almighty Staff. Sakura was still blushing red and shook her head violently, "That cruel ugly corrupt monk won't do such thing!" She heard gunshot that her eyes changed to irritated. She stood up; "No way he'll do it!" She fisted and turned with crossed arm.

"Why should you protect her?" The demon retorted back, "She's a-" Before he could continue, Erika could know where he was and attacked him from behind. "Shut up and start attacking!" She beamed angrily from behind.

Hakkai made out five fireballs and he dodged. "Not even Hakkai-chan's fire ball?" Erika started whining and screaming, "What kind of demon are you?" She pointed at the demon. Hakkai sweat dropped from behind while the others had irritated eyes. "Erika, that's not like you!" Gojyo corrected, "You are not a whiny, you know that." She was in chibi with her eyes filled with tears.

"I did heard Gojyo said you have confidence not like me!" Sakura corrected irritated. A pan was thrown to their faces. "Shut up! My emotion is not controlled by you!" Sweat drops formed on Hakkai's head as Erika had veins popping out. Gojyo and Sakura had swirls in their eyes. Goku peeked at them in chibi, "Darn, the fish is dirty now." Sanzo quickly whacked him and kicked him, "Stop thinking about food, you baka-saru!"

The demon tsked, "So the great powerful Chan Sakura was just a rumor." "Rumor?" Everyone questioned. "They say you went to the Tenjiku to kill the Gyumao's revival experiment," He added in the dark, and his voice was cruel. Sakura snapped and her head started to hurt, "Tenjiku? Gyumao?"

"Er... Sakura, did you go there?" Hakkai pointed up, "It's dangerous there you know." The demon laughed in a high pitch, "Nothing's dangerous to a-" He was hit on the back again. "Oops!" Erika looked innocent and apologized, "That was an accident." Everyone shared the same sweat drop.

"Did I?" She held on her head with sweat drops trying to think but she felt her head was going to pieces somehow. She was whacked with a paper fan. She looked up and saw Sanzo angry look, "Attack that demon, you neko!" Her eyes widened and looked at the demon. She stood up and a weapon appeared on her palm, "I bet you know my memories! Tell me!" She dashed towards him in a high speed.

"Sakura?" Everyone questioned shocked. She was fast. She wailed her weapon and the demon vanished. "You mind is filled with problems!" The demon was above her and she looked up. "Sakura, above you!" Gojyo warned.

Sakura screamed but the demon dragged her from the waist. He brought her up in the air, "I'll be promoted for this." He started laughing. "Sakura!" She didn't response. She just sweat dropped. She blinked slowly momentarily and snapped. She tried to get lose, "Let go of me! Let go of me!" A strong wind started. The demon laughed, "Don't do nonsense, Chan Sakura. No matter what, you won't escape from me!" Her eyes widened immensely, 'Sanzo...'

Erika ran to them, "Sakura, repeat after me!" Sakura looked at her and saw Erika mumbling. She was chanting and Sakura didn't understand the point of repeating but she started mumbling and chanting. The demon had a questioning look. Sakura's eyes widened immensely without the pupils and there were some kind of lighted balls on her palms. Erika had an evil grin, "Royalty Heavenly Punishment!"

"Royalty Heavenly Punishment!" She repeated back and the demon's face was changing, as if it was burning because of the strange spell. He immediately released Sakura. He screamed and turned to dust. Sakura fell down to the ground slowly and started thinking. She knew that spell from someone. She shut her eyes and saw a long blonde haired man smiling to her, he was clearer. She opened her eyes, "Who is he?"

She felt that she was falling and started crying in chibi. The others sweat dropped. Suddenly she stopped before reaching the ground. She was in chibi and stepped down. She jumped down with a puppy look. She screamed, "I floated!" Erika crashed down. Sakura jumped up and down happily in chibi singing; "I floated! I floated! I floated!" Everyone shared the same sweat drop.

Goku crashed down, "I am hungry!" There were more sweats drops and he was whacked. "He need night snack, you know, Sanzo!" Erika smiled. "Night snack? Is there a night snack?" Gojyo looked stupid. "To Goku, it does," Hakkai pointed up and everyone looked at Sakura, who was serious.

She was thinking and looked at Sanzo. She felt a warm stare of him and she blushed. She snapped and shook her head violently. She puffed, 'Not true! Sanzo wouldn't have any relation to Konzen!' She was with sweat drops and looked scared that everyone was left out.

Sanzo turned and sighed, "She's a burden all right." He went back to sleep and Sakura looked sad. She bit her lips, Sanzo was right. She is burden, why the hell did she follow anyway? Being a burden to Sanzo? She wonder she could ever restore her memories. Who is she? Who's her family? Where she came from? She always question herself. She looked up the sky and watched the stars. She thinks that she used to live up, possible or impossible? She looked at the others but they were sleeping comfortably. A sweat drop formed behind her head after a crash down.

The next early morning, there was a figure looking at her. The sun was already up and everyone woke up except Sakura. "Sakura's not up yet?" Hakkai turned curiously as Hakuryu transformed into a Jeep behind him. The figure was Sanzo, he was planning to whack her but instead he brought her up to the Jeep. Everyone looked stupidly at his move. "What are you looking at?" A vein popped out from his temple. Their eyebrows shot up, "You know, Genjo Sanzo wouldn't volunteer to do such thing." Gojyo and Goku shrieked when a bullet passed by.

"Even though you are a burden, I can't let you die..." He whispered beside Sakura as his eyes were blocked, "Somehow..." The Goddess of Mercy in heaven grinned violently.
