Chapter 19: The End of the Beginning

It has been three days since the Sanzo Party got back from the Dark Saiyuki world with the girls. Ryu, now know in the light world as Dragon (confusing eh?) was sitting next to Gojyo and making out in the back seat, Snowfire Fox was feeding Goku Meat Buns, Nina was sitting in the front next to Hakkai and chatting with him, and Michiru was staring out in space while sitting on the tire in the back.

"You understand that we have to leave soon right?" Nina asked Hakkai.

"I understand, but that wouldn't change my feelings for you," Hakkai replied.

"Yes I know. I'll be back to see you again someday, I just need to continue my training," Nina said as she kissed him on the cheek.

"I'll be waiting…" Hakkai replied.

Michiru was thinking about the last moments of the fight. She had sealed Shelia, but she knew that she would get free of the seal again. With Nero dead there was a sense of completion. Michiru felt lighter than she had in years and the thought of being a Silverfayt doesn't scare her anymore. Well a true Silverfayt that is. She liked the Sanzo Party but she knew that they had to leave so they can continue their journey. A tear ran down her eye at the thought of leaving her friends.

"Gojyo, we must leave now," Dragon said as she got done kissing him.

"Why? Can you just help us on our journey?" Gojyo asked.

"I have my own journey to complete and I think the others would agree with me. We all have our own journeys to complete. I promise to come back someday," Dragon said smiling.

"Yes this is where we have to say goodbye," Michiru said. Hakkai stopped the jeep and let the girls get out. Michiru prepared the circle as they were saying their goodbyes.

"Do you really have to go Snowfire Fox?" Goku asked as he hugged her.

"Yes I do. I got places to go and things to steal," Snowfire Fox said.

"Don't even think about visiting other worlds and stealing from the people there!" Michiru demanded.

"Aww… But I want some stuff!" Snowfire Fox yelled.

Dragon and Gojyo were kissing each other again and then stepped away from him.

"I'll be back, I promise!" Dragon said.

"Yeah we will all return someday," Michiru said.

"I hope not," Sanzo grumbled.

"Bye!" the girls said together as Michiru dropped the grain of sand and they disappeared in a flash of light.

Hakkai got back in the jeep, followed by the others and started driving West again.

"Do you really think we will see them again?" Goku asked.

"I think we will. Those girls are the type to keep their word," Hakkai said.

"Yeah but they were a nuisance as they delayed our trip West," Sanzo muttered.

"Of come on. You had the hots for Michiru!" Gojyo said gleefully.

"Care to say that again Kappa?" Sanzo threaten with his gun pointed at Gojyo.

"Hehe… Never mind…" Gojyo said.

"I'm hungry…" Goku complained.

"Well things are back to normal again," Hakkai sighed as they drove off into the sunset.

In Michiru's World

Michiru and the others entered the small house and saw Granny Silverfayt sitting in her chair.

"So he is dead?" she asked.

"Yes Granny. Nero is dead?" Michiru said as she hugged her.

"Well it's time for you girls to prepare for the next adventure," Granny said as she jumped out of her chair. "Time is already wasting away."

"Yes Granny," they replied in union.

"This is the end of the beginning of the real battle isn't it?" Michiru asked.

"For once Michiru you are correct. Your adventure hasn't end yet, just like the Sanzo Party's adventure has just begun," Granny said.

The End

Note: Completion at last. Thanks for all the reviews that you have given me! It was a great pleasure to type this fanfiction and I hope that it has given you pleasure as well! Don't worry I'll make another Saiyuki Fanfic soon, but for now this will be the End of the Beginning. Bye for now! -Michiru
