Disclaimer: Saiyuki ain't mine…so why in some chaps there are no disclaimer? Because it's quite obvious Saiyuki and Ragnarok are not mine so I don't need to keep on repeating myself …

Me: Thx to all who reviewed you know who you are and you inspired me!

Goku: Moon What about you give me those dumplings?"

Me: Sure here.

Goyjo: what about me?

Me: Shut up perverted pedophile!

"Rean: I told you they'll think his a pedophile.

Ayui: Sorry Goyjo!


Chapter 6 Alone

"Life can be so tough you must be strong…"

What does being alone mean…not being with anybody? I don't think so…It might look that way but being alone has a different meaning…something deep and when you try to dive for it you will just die…

"Sanzo I'm hungry!" Goku whined.

Sanzo had a vein throbbing, but he didn't move Hakkai was smiling as he drove Goyjo didn't budge when Goku said he was hungry Ayui isn't flirting with Goyjo, everybody was different it seems that the world turned upside down.

"Don't worry Goku we are nearing the next town…" Hakkai said

"Hey look something or someone's lying on the sand!" Ayui pointed out.

Hakkai stopped jeep and went down to check, the figure released a small moan…The figures pinkish-red hair was white because of the sand particles…

Hotaku woke up feeling something soft on her back she has a cold compress on her forehead and somewhat she couldn't move.

"Your awake…" Hakkai said as he closed the door.

"Who are you?"

"Cho Hakkai" my friend found you lying down in the dessert.

"Well thanks I should get going now." Hotaku said as she tried to stand up but she only moved an inch and then fell back down.

"You have a traumatic fever you will have to rest for a week or so where are you going?" Hakkai asked calmly.

"To the west." Hotaku said flatly.

"So we're heading the same destination," Hakkai said laughing softly then continued… "What a coincident…"

"Yeah…" Hotaku said looking at the ceiling.

"Well rest now dinner's going to be served soon.

No reply

Then Hakkai went out.

"Maggie…where are you now I thought you'll always be with me?" Hotaku thought as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Hotaku pushed forward no matter what." A familiar voice said.

"Maggie?"

"Yes I will not be physically there but I will always be with you in your heart."

"Why do you have to leave me all alone…?"

"Your not alone that group who helped you shall be my soul's container."

"Wait!"

"Well I'll be going now." Maggie said as she smiled and slowly faded away.

"Uhnn…"

"Here is the soup." Hakkai said.

"Sorry to bother you…" Hotaku suddenly said.

"Something seems to be bothering you."

"Nothing really, nothing at all." Hotaku said as she sat up it's been 3 days but her body still isn't fully recovered. (A/n Duh Hakkai said a week or so!)

She took the bowl and slowly ate…

"I didn't realize you're a good cook." Hotaku said.

"Why thank you."

Sanzo and Goku went to town to check if there's anything to buy Hakkai can't do that right now since he's taking care of Hotaku…Goyjo and Ayui are in a garden because Ayui dragged Goyjo again…

"Sanzo Buy me some pork buns!"

"Urusai Saru!" (Shut up monkey)

"Ayui I know you have a problem what is it?"

"Goyjo…you know I love you…right?"

"Yeah why?"

"Well…bokuwa…bokuwa…"

"Come on."

"What if I say…"

"Say what?"

"That…I'm…I'm…a…."

Goyjo just nodded signaling Ayui to continue.

"I'm a youkai…."

"What?"

"I wear a limiter…"

"Hey what are you saying? and why are you saying this?"

"Remember the day you found me…? I was bathed by a demon's blood…"

"Why are you saying this to me?" Goyjo said pleading.

"I feel the limiter won't last long anymore…"

"What?"

"I feel that soon the minus waves are going to affect me as well…"

"Don't say that!"

"Please if I get affected would you be the one to kill me?"

"Hey don't start with me."

Ayui's eyes are filling with tears as she jumped to embrace Goyjo…

"Goyjo I wanted to tell you because I trust you…and I don't want to live alone again…ever…"

"You we're never alone!"

"If we parted of course I'm alone again…Remember in morroc I wasn't able to fight the Youkai's? you know why?"

"Why!"

"I feel if a drop of a youkai's blood is to be on me my limiter will break."

"But you must use your will power."

"And I think…" Ayui let go of Goyjo and took a step backward…

"I think it's happening now…" Ayui said as she took out her knife and pointed it in her heart…

"No don't!"

"As we near west…I'll be a demon…and I don't want to lose myself with you…"

"But at least you're not alone!"

"What does being alone mean to you…?" Ayui said as she struck her heart deeply slowly she is falling down on the ground…the necklace with butterfly pendant removed and dropped with her…

"Noooo…! Ayui!" Goyjo said as he quickly picked her up.

"Goyjo…life…can…be so tough…you must be strong…I'm sorry I wasn't strong…" Ayui said as she coughs out blood.

"Just remember…when you see a flower I would be seeing it with you…I will be a butter fly that would bring joy to you…" Ayui said as she closed her eyes… "Brother…"
