Another update. Yay! I dunno about this update... I seemed to be trying to hurry up and try and finish a scene to get to the next so it might seem a little rushed. I'm already thinking of a new Saiyuki story, its all playing along in my head. I'll begin that one once I finish this. I'm still debating about the ending of this story, it just doesn't seem to be finished yet.

I do not own Saiyuki or any Saiyuki characters.

Enjoy!

Early that day they stumbled their way into town. It was morning and many of the towns' people were just getting up and getting their food stands open. Goku was excited, looking at some of the all ready opened stands.

"Oh my god! Look at all this food! I can't remember the last time we went shopping!"

"I'm actually quite relaxed." Stated Gojyo.

"Good." Sanzo said.

Goku stopped at a meat bun stand. He was eye level with the food, staring it down with shinning eyes.

"Hey Sanzo, buy me a meat bun. Please! Please! Please!"

"No."

"Aw, please! I'm starving!"

"Just give the monkey a meat bun." Said Gojyo.

"No."

Kagami and Hakkai were laughing. Goku was pulling on Sanzo's sleeve.

"Just one meat bun... one little meat bun..."

"No."

Kagami shook her head. She pulled out a coin and handed it to Goku. Goku looked at the coin and then took it.

"Shut up... go buy yourself a damn meat bun."

"Thank you!"

Goku ran off towards the meat bun stand coin in hand. Kagami let out a sigh and crossed her arms over her chest. Sanzo looked a bit pissed off.

"If you spoil them they'll never learn."

"Wow, you really do act like a mother."

Sanzo pointed his gun to Gojyo's face. "Want to say that again?"

"Dude, I was kidding..." Gojyo said with hands up in forfeit.

Sanzo put away his gun and started walking again. The others were following. Goku ran after them, meat bun in his mouth. He seemed rather happy. He walked up beside Kagami, figuring if she'd give him money to buy a meat bun then she's probably not all that bad.

"So what's the plan?" Kagami asked. "We going to keep going or are we going to find a place to stay for the night?"

"I don't know what you're doing but we have been stalled way too much. We keep walking."

"Aw, man. You got to be kidding me. I'm exhausted. We've been walking all night." Gojyo was complaining.

"You know, Gojyo is right. We should probably stop for the night, rest up and continue tomorrow." Hakkai said.

Hakkai was of course the voice of reasoning. Sanzo let out a sigh and turned back around to face them.

"Fine. We stay for the night, but no more distractions."

"Right!" Goku said. "Now lets fine a place to stay!"

lll

It was again getting late. The sun was going down and the five had stopped for a place to stay. Hakkai had gotten five separate rooms, but of course they weren't in their rooms at the moment, they were getting dinner. The innkeeper had made a feast and had placed it before them, and Goku was reaching for at least one thing from each plate to stuff his face.

"Goku, maybe you should slow down. You're going to get a stomachache." Hakkai said to Goku.

"But everything is so good!"

"Glad to hear you like my cooking." The innkeeper said to Goku then walked back into the kitchen.

Done with the food that was on Goku's place Goku looked around. The plates were empty and everyone else was eating something off of their own plates. Goku stared longingly at Gojyo's plate.

"Oi, Gojyo... What's that?" Goku pointed behind Gojyo.

"What? Where?" Gojyo looked in the direction Goku was pointing to.

While Gojyo wasn't looking Goku took half of Gojyo's food and stuffed it into his mouth. Gojyo turned back to find a half-full plate. He looked over at Goku who's mouth was full, his cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk.

"You stupid monkey! Who said you could eat my food!" Gojyo yelled at him.

"I didn't touch your plate!" Goku mumbled with a full mouth.

Hakkai let out a small chuckle, and Sanzo looked like he was about ready to kill the two.

"Well, that's disgusting..." Kagami looked from her food then at Goku. "Don't talk with your mouth full, Goku... I really didn't appreciate your half-chewed food in my Chazuke..."

Goku swallowed the food that was in his mouth. "Sorry..." He said to Kagami.

Kagami looked down at her rice seeing chunks of chewed food. She pushed the bowl of Chazuke away from herself. "It's fine..." She grabbed a plate of Sukiyaki and began to eat some of it.

Once the five were done eating they had gotten up and went to their separate rooms.

lll

Trouble for them wasn't over just yet.

"We'll each take one of the Sanzo party. No survivors, remember that." This was a voice of a man.

The man was older looking, maybe in his forties. His ears were pointed and he had a tattoo on his left cheek. He was obviously a demon.

"I'll kill Sanzo and get the scripture." He said. "Momo, you go after the one called Gojyo."

"Why me?" Momo said.

"He'll be an easy kill for you. He will be thinking too much about sex then about why you're in his room."

"Got it."

"You, kill the demon, Hakkai." He said to another.

"Right."

"And you go after the monkey." He said to the last one.

"It'll be my pleasure."

lll

Sanzo was sitting up in his bed; he was staring out his window. He seemed in deep thought, most likely about the past. He always treaded on the past; sometimes he went over the events of the past, parts that would benefit him in the future. The door clicked and the door began to open slowly. Sanzo's head turned to find himself face to face with a demon. The demon went at him but was a little bit too slow, Sanzo knocked him down to the floor, and the gun pointed to his head.

"You happened to catch me at a bad time." Sanzo said.

Sanzo wasn't going to waste much time, he was pissed off and it didn't help with youkai appearing every which way. He pulled the trigger on his banishing gun, killing the demon.

lll

Gojyo was asleep with the door opened to his room. Half asleep he figured that it was Goku coming into his room.

"Get the hell out, stupid monkey." Gojyo said rolling onto his side to look to the door.

In the doorway was a woman, she had long brown hair, which fell over her face. Good thing too, she wasn't the prettiest of woman.

"Well, hello there. Hope I didn't come at a bad time." She walked into the room, heading towards Gojyo.

"Not at all."

"I believe you did..."

Kagami was behind the woman; she had a kidochi in one of her hands. She shoved it through the woman's throat. The woman gasped for air then fell to the ground, dead. Kagami stared at the bloody kidochi.

"You know that you guys are under attack, right? I heard a gunshot coming from Sanzo's room." Kagami said pulling out a cloth and cleaning the blood off of the weapon.

There was a couple crashing noises coming from the room next to Gojyo's. They left his room and wondered into Hakkai's room. Hakkai was standing over a youkai, which was on the floor.

"Rather noisy, I do say so myself." Hakkai said smiling.

There was another crash coming from Goku's room. A youkai went flying out, the door behind him. Goku stepped out of the room.

"I don't like being woken up unless breakfast is ready!" Goku said.

Sanzo walked out of his room and headed towards the four.

"I think we should be leaving." Hakkai said.

"Yes. I do to... Too many damn distractions." Sanzo said.

lll

They were on the road again. This time they were in jeep. Sanzo and Hakkai where in front, Kagami in back next to the door, Goku in the middle, and Gojyo on the other side by the other door.

"Why do I have to sit by Gojyo?" Goku complained.

"Stop complaining you stupid monkey. Do you think I enjoy sitting next to you? I rather be sitting next to Kagami."

"Please, leave me out of your little love spat." Kagami said, her head turning to look at the scenery moving around them.

"Love spat?" Goku asked. "I don't love him!"

Kagami let out a sigh "Stop acting like a little girl. You're embarrassing yourself."

"I'm not a girl and I'm not little!"

"Well then stop complaining and fighting."

"But he's the one who always starts it!"

"Do not."

"SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!" Sanzo yelled, a bit angry.

"Glad to know we're all getting along." Hakkai said, smiling.
