A/N The first chapter received negative remarks. I'm quite sorry for that. Nonetheless, I shall continue to try another chapter. I promise that there is potential in this plot and I will try hard to develop it to the best of my ability! In addition, to grisson500, I stated that he was fighting naked, but after that he went to put on his clothes after all of them were defeated, sorry for being unclear.

"The three of them are going to reach any moment! Damn it!" Sanzo thought.

"Sanzo! We bought cigarettes for you!" Goku shouted

"Is he still bathing? What a mess! Did a fight take place? Sanzo?" Hakkai asked.

"Forever taking so long. I need the bathroom, come out NOW!" Gojyo threw the groceries on the sofa and screamed.

"Cant you fools wait?" Sanzo shouted.

"Are you ok? Your voice sounds weird." Hakkai asked with concern. That was the way he had been, always worrying about everyone.

Sanzo then walked out of the bathroom, looking haggard and messy. He covered his head with the towel and tried not to look at them straight in the eye.

"What's with you?" Goku asked.

"Shut up. Having a bad mood." Sanzo constantly reminded himself to talk in a low voice. However, it sounded like those boys whose voices were just breaking.

"Are you having a cold?" Hakkai asked and proceeded to making herbal tea for the monk.

Just as he was sipping his tea comfortably on the bed, a voice came from inside the bathroom.

"Damn you Sanzo! Are you having hair fall problems or something?"

Indeed, there was a lot of hair around the toilet bowl. Sanzo had tried to trim his hair a little and flushed it down the toilet bowl. However, quite a bit seemed to drop outside the rim and he certainly did not have brooms inside the bathroom to clean it up.

Hakkai began to worry for his friend and suggested buying hair products for him. He was still ok before they went out! Now he has a cold and hair fall problems. A sudden sickness is scary of course.

On the other hand, Sanzo just felt frustrated by the way Goku and Gojyo were staring at him, as though he was an alien from Mars or something. Actually the two of them were just wondering, Sanzo just looks weird in a way that they cant really pinpoint what it is. It is just different from normal, in a way.

"Monkey, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"I think I am, B2."

"B2?"

"Isnt that what the bananas in pajamas say?" Goku answered.

"Oh what the hell! Stop watching damn cartoons and look at your master! There is something wrong with him right?"

"I agree with Gojyo. Just that I can quite place it." Hakkai said.

Sanzo got really irritated and went out for a walk instead. Why must they be so insensitive? Why must all these happen to me? Sanzo's mind was filled with endless questions that no answers were given. This was certainly a difficult situation that he has to face alone. He wasn't able to face the rest. How was he going to solve the problem? The journey westward is difficult and dangerous enough, and he doesn't know if they were going to succeed. Then now there is this. Much more difficult than fighting youkais, much more complicated than overcoming obstacles. He had always believed that, all four of them working together can fight anything. But now, he cant even tell his mates his problems.

Thinking of all these frustrating thoughts, tears started to dwell up in his eyes. Why… He was supposed to be the strongest of the four. He was supposed to be able to lead them towards the goal. Yet now he is so weak, so vulnerable, so lonely. Who can help him?

Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Are you ok?" It was a young girl with big eyes and two cute dimples.

The girl gave a quizzed look and broke into a smile in no time.

"Erm, are you unwell? Do you have any sadness?"

Just as Sanzo was about to assure her that he was ok, a middle-age woman came and grabbed the girl's hand.

"Don't talk to strangers. Especially those who are so weird! Guys who dress up as girls or whatever..."

"Do I freaking look like a cross dresser to you?" Sanzo pulled out his gun.

The two females ran away for their lives.

Now this is just the beginning…
