Sekowari: Chapter 2! Enjoy! R/R!

Chapter 2 -- Saiyuki Round-Up Part 1

Ah yes, I left you off with a fine morning in Tougenkyou, yes? You're in for yet another normal, if not extreme, day of Saiyuki behind the scenes! So…snap your eyes open, stay alert, and stay awake!

Just as Gyoukumen walked out of the castle, the director bounded up to everyone with a huge grin on his face. The cast shuddered with horror. A smiling director was never a good thing in their point of view. He greeted them all and proceeded by saying, "I've decided that today, we're going to spend some time with the entire Saiyuki cast! How does that sound? Don't worry, you guys can relax for today – no filming!"

The cast gaped. Each had their own opinion on this. Gyoukumen replied, "Goodness! More parties? The character I act out has outrageous parties all the time! Anyways, isn't the entire cast here already?" The director 'tsked' at Gyoukumen. "Dear lady, your small brain has probably forgotten the rest of the cast! By that, I mean people like Kanzeon, Koumyou, Kamisama, etc." The youkai lady practically fainted at the thought of having so many people in one place. Sanzo literally cringed at the mention of Kamisama. Last time, after filming with that freak, the guy had thrown himself all over Sanzo. Like a homosexual, as we all know.

'Good God…no…'

Homura was beside himself with worry. 'No filming? What about my money? How am I supposed to spoil Rinrei if I'm poor?' -sweatdrop-

Gojyo looked disgusted. 'Crap, this means I have to see my big brother – Go Dougan…'

The rest of the people all had one thought in their mind – 'What the hell is this?'

It's sad that the director couldn't read their minds. He continued by saying, "Of course, you know that these people aren't around often. So, I've decided to assign certain people to get them! I'm sure you all know where they live, yes?" The cast nodded their heads dumbly. Lirin gave an outburst, "Why do we need to get those people? This is a waste of time!" Again, the cast nodded their heads dumbly.

The director ignored Lirin and cleared his throat. "I've already made a list of who gets who. Listen up!" Doku whispered to Zenon, "I bet this idiot put a lot of thought into making that list!" The god nodded in agreement.

"…So, first of all, since Sanzo plays his own god self – Konzen – he will only have to get Kamisama." Sanzo groaned and turned away in disgust. All around him, people whispered words of sympathy. 'I know that shitty director did this on purpose.'

"Next, Goku will get Nataku. Gojyo will have his brother, Dougan." The redhead smacked his forehead. 'Awesome…'

"..Kougaiji and Dr. Nii will meet up with Rasetsunyo. Lirin will go get Koumyou. Yaone is assigned to Kanan. Doku and Hakkai will get Hazel. (The two stared in disbelief) Gyumao and Gyoukumen will get Gato. Last but not least, Homura, Rinrei, Zenon, and Shien will get Kanzeon and Jiroushin. Is this okay with everyone?"

'NO! Oh my god…Kamisama?'

'Dougan…hn…'

'Kanzeon…not that annoying woman again…'

The rest were okay with who they were paired with…I think…Sadly, I can't read minds either.

"Alright, off you go! Hurry! I don't have all day! Shoo!" The director shooed them away, or tried to. No one moved. Sighing, the director turned to the military youkai beside him. At this, the cast really stiffened.

"YOU HEARD HIM! GET YOUR BUTTS MOVING NOW! TOO SLOW! TOO SLOW! HURRY UP, OR I'M SENDING IN SQUADRON 'A' TO CLEAR THIS ZONE!" Kougaiji's eyebrow twitched violently. 'Does he ever say anything different?'

Still, after hearing the vicious youkai, everyone raced away in pursuit of their assigned person.

Lirin's destination was the closest. She arrived at Koumyou's temple and walked in cautiously. There was no need to be afraid, really, the priest was a nice person. After all, he had given Lirin meat buns before.

"Well, what a pleasant surprise Lirin-san!" A voice rang out behind the youkai female, making her jump. Turning around, she said, "Hi, Koumyou-sama! I've come here because the Saiyuki director wants everyone to meet up at the filming grounds."

The priest sighed. "It must be the same director. I bet he's doing something stupid again, right?"

Lirin nodded her head vigorously. "Uh huh!" The great thing about Koumyou-sama was that he always understood other people's feelings.

"Either way, we better go now. At least I have something to do now. It's utterly boring in this temple! We musn't keep the others waiting!" He smiled and handed Lirin a meat bun, who gladly wolfed it down.

The temple close to Koumyou's was none other than Kamisama's. Sanzo took a breath and walked up the long stairway to the castle above. He took out his gun to make himself feel better. No sooner had he walked one step upwards, a man came running up to him and glomped on to him from behind. 'Oh, how I hate him…'

"Sanzo-chan! It's been ages since you came to visit me! I was so worried that you forgot about me!" Quietly, Sanzo whispered to himself, "I did try to forget you…"

"Anyways, since you came, we get to have some fun together! Sound good?" Kamisama winked at the horrified priest. Sanzo gulped and blurted out a string of words. "No! The director needs the cast to meet at filming grounds! I was assigned to get you! Hurry UP!" Without waiting for a response, Sanzo spun around and walked away as fast as he could.

Much to his dismay, Kamisama caught up to him quickly and grabbed his hand. "Great! This is going to be so fun! You're awesome, Sanzo-chan!" At the sound of that disgusting nickname, Sanzo only walked even faster. He tried to get away, but Kamisama kept holding onto his hand. 'Since when did hell exist on Earth? I'm supposed to be the hell on Earth!'

Meanwhile, Gojyo had taken one of Kougaiji's dragons and flown to Dougan's castle. He banged the large doors open. No one was in sight. "Oi! Get over here now! I have to talk to you!" There was nothing but an eerie silence. That silence turned to a deafening roar from the ceiling above. The castle was collapsing! Gojyo stared in shock. 'What in the world?' He bolted towards the exit as fast as he could. The redhead made it just in time. The entire castle exploded and particles of the building flew everywhere. Gojyo couldn't see a thing in all the smoke and noise. He covered his face for protection.

Eventually, after what seemed like ages, everything calmed down again. Out of the ruins walked Go Dougan, clapping his hands with a smirk on his face. "Wonderful, little brother! I really thought you wouldn't make it out of that trap back there! I should make them harder next time!"

"What the hell is wrong with you? What, are you trying to KILL me?"

"Of course, little brother! I would love to kill you! After all, Houran loved you more than me when we were filming the Saiyuki movie!"

"Hn. I told you – no girl can resist my charms." Dougan merely glared. "Anyways, what brings you to my…castle?" He turned around and stared at the ruined palace.

"I would never come. You know that. The director of the show wants everyone to meet up together. Do you know how much time you wasted with that idiotic trick back there? I can't believe I have you as a brother!"

"Believe it, little bro. I'm going to be in your life until death! So anyways, we better go. Don't just stand there like a fool, Gojyo, or I'm leaving without you!" Dougan walked off and waved his hand at Gojyo. The redhead shook in rage. 'I hate him…'

To conclude this chapter of dreary events, I'll end with something a little better.

Well, Goku got to Nataku with no problem. The little guy was meditating under a waterfall, as usual. They were very happy to see each other again. It's obvious that they became good friends after filming Saiyuki Gaiden. Though, their bond isn't as strong as Kamisama and Sanzo's, of course. Teehee…

Anyways, here comes the better part. Yaone had went to a nearby town, where Kanan resided. A huge crowd of Saiyuki fans were following her around, asking for her signature. A little kid ran up and tugged at her long purple hair in adoration. She yelped in surprise, and quickly dashed off.

Kanan lived at the edge of town, so Yaone found her easily. Entering the house, she was greeted by a warm embrace from Kanan. You'd think that they were friends, but no. Kanan smiled warmly and said, "Hello Yaone! Pleased to see you here! So how's everything? How's Hakkai?" Yaone frowned at the fact that Kanan was so interested with Hakkai. "Hrmph…he's fine. By that, I mean he doesn't need you around!"

Kanan blinked. "What? I could say the same for you! Let me ask you something, Yaone, why don't you ever like me as someone who you can share Hakkai with?"

Yaone glared. "I was just thinking the same thing – why don't you like me? Furthermore, I'm not sharing Hakkai with anyone! Especially not you!" That did it. The two females grabbed each other and started a catfight. They tugged at each other's hair, screamed, kicked, and rolled onto the ground, fighting and struggling like crazy.

"I hate you! I deserve Hakkai, you BITCH!"

"Shut up! You're the one who killed yourself!"

"That's called good acting!"

After more catfighting, tugging, screaming, kicking, rolling around, and struggling, the two finally straightened up and ceased their bickering. Their hair was a complete mess, and so were their clothes. There were bruises and scratches everywhere on their arms and face. Almost forgetting her purpose here in the first place, Yaone said bitterly, "The Saiyuki director has asked all people to meet up. Don't worry – you get to see Hakkai."

At this, Kanan's face brightened and she skipped off in glee. "Hurry then! I can't wait for this!" Yaone stood there, stunned. Finally, she followed Kanan slowly. 'I loathe you, and I loathe that director. He did this to me…'

There you go! I told you the last event would be a little better! AHAHAHA! I'll finish up with the others next time! So, continue to snap your eyes open, stay alert, and stay awake! Till next time!

Sekowari: This is only part 1, so R/R, and I'll write more! xD
