Hey guys here's the epilogue! I thank all people who reviewed and read and…I don't own 'Mitsumete Itai' (The Saiyuki Gunlock 1st ending song) by Flow War because when I finished this I listened to it and it sounds fitting even though the song's short (Heck, I almost cried)… Here's the final chapter!

Epilogue: Reunion

000000000000000000000000

Moshimo kono saki kimi to issho ni aruite ikeru nara

Nani mo iranai to boku wa zutto honki de omotteta

A man walked slowly to Funbari Hill. The man was wearing a cloak at the moment but inside he was wearing a black robe, the sleeves lined with gold, and a black blindfold with the sides lined with silver. The man looked around, the surroundings familiar to him. He sensed something new in front of him though…

Tsukihi wa sugi toki wa nagare haru wa mukashi yori mijikakute

Kimi wa kawari boku wa toieba kawaru no ga heta mitai

He saw, in front of him, a grave. On it was encrypted "Asakura Yoh- a fiancée, brother and friend. May he rest in peace." On top of the grave were two roses; one red, the other white. Orange headphones lay beside the grave. The man frowned at what he was seeing and walked up to it. He took the headphones and the roses and smashed the grave with one punch (kind of like that technique Sanosuke from Rurouni Kenshin uses…I forgot what it was called…).

A jaguar spirit appeared and growled at the man, saying, "You know you just destroyed someone's house."

"I'm aware of that, Okolo, but it's not even true," the man replied as the remains of the grave drifted away as dust. The wind blew harshly as the jaguar the man called Okolo sensed something coming toward he and his master. When the man looked to the side he saw a brown wolf growling at him. The wolf soon stopped growling and walked to the man, brushing his body and tail around him like a cat. The man patted the wolf on the head.

My, my, has it been a long time? The wolf questioned.

"No, not long enough I assure you," the man replied. Wind blew the scent of the man to the wolf.

You really are him, the wolf said quite surprised.

"Hai, let's go now, shall we?" the man replied as the wolf nodded and motioned the man to follow.

Soredemo shashin wo hikidashite hirakeba

Itsumo warau kimi ga ita

It had now been a year and six months since the defeat of Kage and his minions. Everybody gathered to the Funbari Onsen for a reunion. Everybody enjoyed each other's company seeing as they haven't met each other for a long time. That, and finally Horohoro had someone who matched his eating power: Goku.

They sat across from each other looking at the other in the eye deadly. Seconds later the put as much of the food on the table in their mouths using only chopsticks. Len sat on the side, watching the two eat all of the food on the table as it went everywhere.

"Hmph," Len said as Sanzo and Gojyo also appeared.

"What pair of bakas with only one instinct; TO EAT," the three said at the same time. THAT made the two stop.

"NOT A MONKEY!" Horohoro and Goku said at the same time then continued eating all the food. Seconds later, the two put their bowls and chopsticks down on the table at the same time. Where the food should have been was now in Horohoro and Goku's stomach.

Mitsumete itai itsumo naita kao mo zenbu

Sashidasu mono wa nain da tada te wo tsunagiau

"Haa…" Goku said in satisfaction looking at Sanzo.

"Ne, Sanzo—" Goku began.

"Iie, saru. That's enough food for one day. You've practically eaten every restaurant we passed before we came here," Sanzo said pointing the Shoureiju at Goku.

"Nanda? How did you know I was going to ask for food..?" Goku wondered as Seiten Taisen appeared beside him.

"Young master, please listen to Sanzo or else we'll all die," the sage said.

Senaka awase de shikamettsura shiteta ame no suizokukan

"For once, listen to your smarter alter-ego, bakasaru!" Gojyo teased.

"I said I'm NOT a MONKEY, ERO KAPPA!" Goku yelled. Soon they started fighting. Sanzo's anger rose up like the sun rising up, only faster.

Sukoshi de ii hohaba wo awasete susumou kana

Mizutamari kawasu TAIMINGU awase

"Ma, ma, minna-san…the last thing we want is—"Hakkai was cut off. A few seconds after…

THWACK! THWACK! BANG! BANG! SLAP!

Mitsumete itai itsumo sameta toki mo koe mo

Agetai mono ga arunda tada kata wo awaseau

"KONO BAKARYO!" Ianna had thwacked Goku with her fan, Sanzo shot at Gojyo and Anna left hand-slapped Horohoro (Because he was fighting with Len about who would win the argument: Goku or Gojyo), all three out of commission. Morty then noticed something.

"Uhh Hao, where's Aridas?" Morty asked.

"He went out to pick up…" Hao replied but was cut off by the doorbell ringing, as if on cue.

"Matte, I'll get that," Hao said getting up and going outside to get the door. When he opened it, he saw Aridas in wolf form, a black jaguar and a cloaked man. Hao smiled.

"Finally, you guys came! Come on in, everyone's going to be surprised at this!" Hao said pushing the three in. When Hao had come back everybody looked at the cloaked man with caution.

"What, you mean you don't know who this is?" Hao questioned everybody as they shook their heads in denial.

"Then I guess Aridas was right, it has been long!" the man said happily. When he had spoken, Anna knew right away who the man was. The man removed the cloak as it fell down. Everyone had their eyes wide open as they saw who their 'mystery man' was: Yoh Asakura. He wore a black robe, the sleeves lined with gold, and a black blindfold with the sides thickly lined with silver. His orange headphones were still at the back of his head. He was, at the moment, holding a white rose and a red rose.

"Did you miss me?" Yoh asked.

Mou ichido kimi ni meguriau koto nante nai

Kitsuku tabi kowaku narunda

"Yoh, you're alive!" everybody yelled running to him and hugging him (A/N: and for all you green-minded people no, not like that).

"I'll take that as a yes…" Yoh mumbled soft enough for no one to hear, smiling. Anna, though, was bothered at the sight that Yoh had a blindfold that covered his eyes.

"Yoh, can you take off the blindfold?" Anna asked. Yoh was quite surprised at the sudden question. He felt scared in the inside, fearing what Anna was going to think after she would see him without the blindfold. Anna frowned.

"Yoh, take off the blindfold," Anna said firmly. Yoh shook his head.

"Gomen, Anna but—" Yoh began.

"I SAID TAKE OFF THE BLINDFOLD…NOW." Anna said darkly. Yoh didn't need to hear that four times. He hesitantly reached for the back of the blindfold and slowly started to untie it. When he got a hold of the blindfold, his eyes were still closed.

"Yoh…Please open your eyes." Anna said harshly.

"Demo Anna—" Yoh began.

"I SAID DO IT." Anna said. Yoh winced at this but still smiled.

"I'm warning you Anna, you're going to regret this…" Yoh murmured slowly opening his eyes. When they had opened, everybody was in shock, Anna's eyes widening as she tried to scream but couldn't find the energy to for what she saw seemed to take away her energy.

Yoh's eyes were white—no pupils to be found. The poor bloke was blind. He quickly tied the blindfold around his head and looked away from his friends.

Mitsumete itai itsumo tomaranai toki no naka

Fuan wo tsubusu you ni tada te wo tsunagu

"This…this is my payment…in return… in return for another chance…another chance for life… I…I had to give up my chance… to see life… to see my friends and family…Okolo…I first found him when I came back…he…he was the one who helped me find…the way home… " Yoh said as tears fell down from behind the blindfold.

Mamotte itai itsumo naita kao mo zenbu

Yubisaki de tashikameru you ni tada te wo tsunagiau

Aridas (Now in human form) put his hand on Yoh's shoulder.

Hey, we're here for you, Yoh, he said.

Okolo growled sadly as its amethyst (yes, amethyst) eyes started to glow the faint color of gold. Yoh stopped sobbing at the same time Okolo's eyes glowed. The others looked at him from behind, puzzled. Aridas looked serious and checked Yoh in front and got a shock. Hao grew worried as he too checked on his brother and got a shock like Aridas. then the rest looked at Yoh from the front as their eyes widened.

They could see two small circles the shape of eyes glow under the blindfold—in the location where his eyes was. It stopped glowing after a few seconds as Yoh seemed to come back from spacing out. The glow appeared again but disappeared after a few seconds and appeared again like blinking. Yoh looked around until his head was in Anna's direction, the glow from under the blindfold looked at Anna.

"…Anna..?" Yoh asked.

"Yes, Yoh?" Anna said raising her eyebrow. Somehow Aridas knew where this was going.

Anna, ask him the question! Aridas said. Anna got what he was saying and held up four fingers.

"Yoh, how many fingers do I have?" Anna asked.

"That would be five, Anna, I'm not stupid," Yoh answered in monotone with a frown on his face. Aridas slapped his head.

Not that question, Anna, everyone has five fingers, Aridas said dully. Anna glared at Aridas but held up three fingers.

"How many fingers am I holding, Yoh?" she asked.

Oh, you're holding up three fingers," Yoh answered simply. Only then did he realize that…he could see.

"Hey, I can see!" Yoh exclaimed.

"Actually, young king, that would be my doing. I lent you my eyes. You will be able to see anything now, but—"Okolo began.

"Cool, so I can take this damn blindfold off…" Yoh said as he reached for the back of the blind fold but stopped when the rest saw that the glow disappeared.

"Hey, who turned off the lights…?" Yoh asked.

"Ahem, young king, you have interrupted my explanation! Provided you don't try to take off the blindfold you will be able to see. But until such time I see it fit that you may use the ability to see you cannot take off the blindfold." Okolo explained.

"Nani? Oh, man…" Yoh whined.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Meanwhile…in another place…

"Heh. Take a look at the Sanzo-ikkou, Jiroushin," a woman sitting on a chair said to her advisor, Jiroushin.

"Ah, forgive me, Kanzeon Bosatsu, but the only one in the Sanzo-ikkou I can see is the saru," Jiroushin replied.

"Aiya, Jiroushin, can you not see that they are right next to the saru?" Kanzeon Bosatsu questioned.

"Ah, iie, I can't see them," Jiroushin replied.

"Ch, whatever…it seems to me that they won't be moving again…" the goddess murmured.

"What was that?" Jiroushin asked.

"Ah, nothing, nothing!" she replied trying to cover up.

"At least Okolo agreed to help the shaman king," Jiroushin commented.

"Yes, I believe so," Kanzeon Bosatsu added.

"I think they will be an excellent addition to the party, don't you think, Jiroushin?" the goddess asked after a long silent pause.

"Yes, Kanzeon Bosatsu, I think they will," Jiroushin replied, looking below heaven. A long pause occurred.

"Jiroushin, send a message to the jaguar," the goddess ordered.

"Hai, right away!" he said as he left the goddess.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

"Achoo!" Goku was sneezing his head off (Thanks to the brilliant work of the people in heaven's cursing) during Okolo's explanation of where he really came from: apparently, Aridas found out that the spirit was a god spirit or something like that. The jaguar grinned after the monkey had finished sneezing.

"Hehe, heaven speaks of you, saru," Okolo said.

"What?" Hao questioned.

"Never mind what I said…wait…" Okolo said pausing after growling every two seconds. After a while he turned to the group as he had looked away from them.

"Heaven has just brought me a message. Kanzeon Bosatsu—" Okolo began.

"WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT KUSO BABA WANT NOW?" Sanzo yelled.

"YEAH, WHAT DOES THAT BLOODY GODDESS OF NO MERCY WANT US TO DO, CLIP OUT HER TOENAILS!" Gojyo snapped. Little did they know that the goddess appeared. They turned around and saw her at the door, smirking at them.

"What the hell do you want, kuso baba?" Sanzo snarled.

"Yeah, what the corrupted monk said!" Gojyo yelled as the SK gang looked at them fighting-sort of. What a bunch of swear-lords… they thought.

"Sumimasen, Kanzeon-sama, for their behavior…" Hakkai said politely.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SUMIMASEN! DON'T EXCUSE HER FOR OUR BEHAVIOR!" Sanzo and Gojyo said at the same time.

"Well—" she began.

"Spit it out—" Sanzo interrupted.

"If you were going to say 'you're wasting my time,' then don't bother; you're already dead." The goddess pointed out.

"FUCK YOU KUSO BABA!" Sanzo yelled losing his cool.

"Ma, ma, Konzen, don't do that; it seems you're scaring the shaman king," Kanzeon Bosatsu pointed out. Sanzo looked behind him and saw that Yoh was hiding behind Hao murmuring something about 'too many swear words.' Sanzo rolled his eyes and looked back at the goddess.

"Continue," Sanzo snarled. Kanzeon Bosatsu smirked at him.

"Actually, I came to talk to them," the goddess said pointing to Yoh, Hao, Aridas, Anna, Ianna, Len, Horo, and Okolo.

"Grr…chikusho….kono kuso baba…" Sanzo cursed quietly.

"You eight will have to travel to the west," the goddess said. They weren't surprised for some reason.

"The reason why you will be traveling west…is because Kage has returned." She continued. Now everybody was surprised.

How did he revive so fast? Aridas asked.

"Gyokoumen Koushou, the wife of Gyumao the demon, found his spirit with the help of Arget's power. Once he was revived he agreed to summon the spirit of Gyumao and now they've made alliances with each other," she explained.

In other words; chaos in Tenjiku, Aridas said.

"Which is why you nine will be going west," the goddess said.

"Nine? I distinctly remember you saying eight, not nine," Hao said. Kanzeon Bosatsu smirked at the fire shaman, making him feel irritable.

"Spit it out already," Hao said impatiently, already feeling why the monk and kappa were annoyed of her.

"Someone will help you, for the journey ahead will be tough. He has agreed to help you so be grateful," she said, stepping aside. Yoh, Hao, Aridas, Anna, Ianna, Morty, Horo and Len were shocked at who they saw.

At the door was Draikiel Amadius playing the piccolo, eyes closed. His hair was now a bit matted but nevertheless it was spiky and going down, much like a wolf's fur. He had his white bandanna tied at his neck instead of around his neck. He now wore a long-sleeved blue robe marked with silver; looking god-like. The goddess was annoyed by his excessive playing—he had been playing for more than an hour—and hit him on head, ceasing him from playing the piccolo.

"What the hell…?" he snarled.

"We're here already," the goddess said. Draikiel faced them and opened his eyes. His eyes had changed color; instead of gold or amber it was crimson red.

Umm… Aridas said.

"If you're wondering why he has eyes like that, it's because the only way to revive his spirit was for him to become a werewolf because Kage sent him to the underworld," Kanzeon Bosatsu explained. Draikiel glared at the goddess two of his teeth protruding, proving that what the goddess said was true.

And he wasn't wearing that, so that means he's a god, right? Griffyn questioned.

"Yes, a fighting god, a replacement for Homura Taisho," the goddess replied.

"Only I'm no heretic," Draikiel whispered to himself.

"Hey!" Goku yelled.

"Ah, gomen, I didn't mean you…cats, this one has good hearing," Draikiel said. His voice was like none that they had ever heard: a rasping bark of a voice.

"Remember, Draikiel, you're only here to help. Once you're done," the goddess said.

"Yeah, I know, I'll either choose to go back to the underworld or heaven. Well I pick neither; I'd rather be here," rasped Draikiel.

"Draikiel Taisho!" Jiroushin warned.

"Whatever…I'll be leaving now…" Kanzeon Bosatsu said, disappearing with a flash of light. Jiroushin glared at Draikiel and left too. Draikiel turned to Griffyn.

"I went to the temple of the white dragon before I came with that kuso baba. They said they need you and your brother," he said. Griffyn beamed with pride and looked at Aridas. He nodded at the dragon as Griffyn bowed to him and left with a flash of light, a black light escaping one of the swords Aridas possessed. Now everybody was looking at Draikiel who was glaring back at them.

"Draikus, you've changed," Hao said seriously.

"Drastically," Horohoro added only whispering to Len, who nodded in agreement.

"Whatever," was all Draikiel growled. Ianna went up to him, looking at him with a glare.

"I thought I got rid of that part of your body," she said blankly.

"Too bad, it came back," he said.

"Well get it out now." she hissed.

"What if I don't want to?" The next thing Draikiel felt was a slap on his right cheek. Ianna had slapped him in front of everybody.

"I said get it out. IF you disobey me again, Amadius, and I will send you to the underworld before you get a chance to pick a choice. Is that clear?" she spat out darkly. He still stood there motionless. He then grinned, showing pointed teeth.

"…That's not how you feel, is it, Kyoyama?" he questioned after a moment. Before she could answer he continued.

"Remember, Kyoyama, I am one of the few people who was cursed by the Hyoi no Jutsu (Technique in Naruto). This is a permanent part of my body and you only sent it away for anything but forever. When I came back, it also came back." He said venomously, looking away as he finished.

"I did not want this and I thought I never will. I guess I was wrong," he said. Ianna's face softened as she put her hand on his shoulder.

"Draikiel, we all make mistakes," she said.

'Not as grave as mine, though," he added. Aridas was tired of hearing this old conversation and stepped in.

Oi, Draikus-dono, let go already, I can get rid of it- permanently. Aridas said. Draikiel looked at Aridas.

"Didn't see you there, Aridas," Draikiel said blankly. That got Aridas angry as he got the Shoureiju from Goku and shot at Draikiel without aiming, missing him by centimeters.

"You lost your touch, Asakura," Draikiel said smirking.

You lost your insults, Amadius, Aridas shot back. They were staring at each other for what seemed like hours before they shook each other's hand and laughed hard, making the rest look at them with huge eyes.

"Ah, Aridas, you haven't lost your touch after all," Draikiel said between laughs.

And I was joking about that comment, Aridas added.

SLAP!

Ianna slapped Draikiel and Aridas down.

"Baka youkai," Ianna yelled. Everybody was now laughing. Draikiel stood up and went outside. He then looked behind him.

"Don't we need to go to the west now?" he asked the eight people. They quickly said their good byes and went out the door with Draikiel. Before they stepped out of the Funbari Onsen Ianna kissed Draikiel, making him blush.

"That was for stepping aside, (See chapter 7 (4 part 2) of this story)" she said running to the rest who were far from she and Draikiel. He stood there, still shocked but closed his eyes. A blue orb appeared on his left side and a gold orb appeared on his right side, both with long tails in their color.

"Now you're surprised," the blue orb teased.

"Sure, just rub it in, Solum," Draikiel said dully to the blue orb, running in a fast pace.

"H-Hey, wait for us!" the gold orb said rushing ahead with the blue orb hanging onto the gold orb's tail.

"Hurry up then, Gladius!" Draikiel said as he ran to the rest of the gang.

Author's notes: Whoa, long epilogue! Ya, I know, the placing of the lyrics is crappy. There will be a sequel to this though I'm not sure what to call it yet…yeah, I know, it's suddenly become a SK-Saiyuki crossover—well, sort of—so don't be surprised in the sequel. Again, I'm thanking all who read this fiction and I hope you enjoyed it! R&R peeps! See ya in the sequel…which might take long… just asking anyone here: does anyone want to know how the saru became a shaman and how the monk, kappa and Hakkai became ghosts? I'll probably write a fiction on that but it will be put in Saiyuki obviously.

Goku: I'M NOT A MONKEY!

Sanzo& Gojyo: Why'd you only call us names and not Hakkai?

Goku: Yeah, what they said!

LS: Can't think of one, sorry Hakkai.

Hakkai: It's okay.

LS: Anyway, see ya soon people! AGAIN…
