a/n: This is the first in a series of three movie crossover/parodies I wrote a while back after an inspiring discussion with K.A. Rose (who is one hell of a writer herself, btw: if you like reincarnation fiction, you must go find her story E equals mc squared)

Not Quite Jake and Elwood

"It's 2300 miles to India," Gojyo answered Goku, as the monkey settled in beside him in the unfamiliar back seat of the Jeep. He seriously doubted the kid had ever been more than a couple of hundred miles from Chang-an.

"We do have a full tank of gas," assured Hakkai, earning a strange look from Gojyo, since as far as the latter knew, Hakuryuu's tank gage never read anything but 'full.' He shifted in his seat a little more, before remembering the cigarettes in his back pocket. Retrieving them to relocate the pack somewhere less crushing, he sighed.

"Only half a pack..." he commented mournfully, earning a sympathetic, or more likely evilly amused, look from the driver. Beside him, the kid was rubbernecking, even though they had yet to start the engine on this little road trip.

"It's dark," Goku decided, although he was looking more in the direction of the monastery than at the stars or dawn-bereft surroundings.

"And we're wearing sunglasses," Hakkai smiled, earning a groan from Gojyo, a confused look from the kid, and the quirk of an eyebrow from the monk, their 'fearless leader,' who had finally emerged from the temple gates.

Sanzo climbed into the passenger seat, pulling his robes and belonging-laden sleeves into an acceptable arrangement. He folded his arms across his chest and glared through the windshield.

"From here on out, we're on a mission from God," he announced, decidedly unenthusiastic at the prospect.

Gojyo gave up and laughed out loud, and Hakkai turned on the engine to cover the noise. It was going to be a very interesting journey.
