Okay, okay. Here's the chapter, so please stop tugging on my sleeve now! LOL.
And Artfix, I don't understand? Are you talking about Sanzo, or Tsuki?
And to answer StarAngel531's question, who San-chan falls in love with will depend on who the readers want, but sadly the bachelor booth won't open until after the Kami-sama thing. Sorry!
And thanks to Kenihiko who offered me to e-mail her! I'll do that as soon as I can get my e-mail working!(I can read messages, I just can't send 'em.)
Disclaimer:Would I be writing this if I owned SaiYuki? No. Also if I did, I wouldn't be known as GirlWithNoLife, now would I?
Summery: What if Sanzo was actually a woman? How long will she able to keep it a secret? And how will the others react when they find out? Read what it would be like if Sanzo was actually a woman!
Pairing: Sanzo x Just about everyone
Note: This is just going to be the basic original story in the books, with a few minor changes.

"Sanzo, are you lying to us?"
Sanzo stared at Hakkai. What should she say to him? What could she say? She couldn't lie, but she defiantly couldn't tell him the truth.
"...Why do you ask?" she asked.
"Ever since we started this journey, you've been acting very strange. You disappear at times without warning, there are strange voices coming from your room whenever you're alone and now you get wounds out of nowhere and run, only to faint for 6 hours and suddenly awaken with no answer to what happened." he replied. "Sanzo, please. If there's something bothering you, tell me and I'll help you. Please, Sanzo. You don't have to bear this alone." Sanzo scoffed in her mind.
'I sincerely doubt it, unless you know about cramps, bloating, and my personal favorite, the bleeding!' she thought as she frowned.
"It's nothing that concerns you." she said.
"We're not blaming you. Please, Sanzo." Hakkai tried to reason. "Tell me everything, and we'll think about what to do together."
"Shut up! I told you! I'm fine! Now leave me alone! Mind your own business!" Sanzo suddenly yelled, although she was everything but fine. Just then her left arm gave a painful twinge and her hand suddenly went numb.
'Huh...?' she thought as she looked at her hand. It wouldn't move.
"Sanzo?" asked Hakkai.
"...Sorry I snapped like that. I'm just really tired." Sanzo said after a long silence. Hakkai suddenly smiled.
"You must be if you're apologizing. Alright, I'll let you get some rest." he said. He stopped at the door. "Sanzo... I don't know what you're probably going through, but it won't make you any weaker... if you asked for help." Then he left the room. Sanzo flopped on her pillow. She looked at her hand that refused to move.
"Are you lying to us?"
She covered her eyes with her arm.
He knew.
And it was safe guess that Goku and Gojyo had figured out she was lying to them, too. This was a disaster. Sanzo could only hope Tsuki would find the counter spell. She gave a groan. If all her hope was on him, then she was doomed. Her eyes fluttered closed.
(Readers: Hey! Hey! You said you'd reveal the damn secret! You promised! GWNL: It ain't over yet! Keep reading!)
//The Next Day//
The next day the Sanzo party continued their journey. It was very quiet because Sanzo hadn't spoken all morning. Gojyo grabbed a beer only to find it warm.
"Damn. It's warm. Goku, get me another beer." he said. Goku glared at him as he yelled,
"Get your own beer you pervy water sprite!" And so the fighting started. Apparently they had forgotten about earlier.
"Ah! What a peaceful day." said Hakkai. Sanzo, surprisingly didn't say anything. She just sat in her seat quietly. Staring ahead. God she was tired for some reason. Well, the fact that she was up all night waiting for Tsuki might of had something to do with it.
Goku and Gojyo stopped fighting, seeing Sanzo wasn't reacting at all.
"My, my. This is strange. It doesn't sound like the two of you are fighting anymore. Might I be so bold as to inquire, why?" inquired Hakkai.
"Take a guess, Hakkai." said Gojyo as he lit a cigarette. Hakkai put a thoughtful hand to his chin.
"Hm... Could it be because Sanzo hasn't threatened you two yet or even yelled?" he asked.
"Ding! Ding! We have a winner! Sorry there's no prize." said Gojyo. Then to Sanzo he said, "Oi. Cranky monk, what gives?"
"Sanzo, are you okay?" Goku asked. Sanzo glared at both of them.
"I'm fine." she said coldly as she looked away from them. Her hand still wouldn't move no matter what she did, so she couldn't whacked the other two with her fan. And Tsuki hadn't contacted her at all.
'Dammit! How hard can it be to find the counter spell?!'
//Meanwhile//
"Arg! How hard can it be to find a simple counter curse?!" Tsuki yelled as she threw the 173th book she looked through over her shoulder into a very large pile of books. Today she was a woman with long blue hair and brown eyes. "Arg! This would be soooo much easier if I had actually paid to Ama-chan's lectures! Damn! Why couldn't the elves just write English like everyone else? Oh, wait here's something. No, that's a confession spell. What I need is a spell that'll let Sanzo lie again. Arg! Where is that reversal spell?!" she yelled as she slammed her fist on a book self, making it fall into the book shelf next, causing a book avalanche. Tsuki twitched.
"Oh, c'mon!!" she yelled.
//Back to the Sanzo party//
The Sanzo party was driving through a thick forest.
"You stupid kappa! Get to your side of the jeep!" Goku yelled.
"I am! You get to your side!" Gojyo yelled as he shoved Goku.
"Cut it out!" yelled Goku. And thus the fighting had began again. Sanzo couldn't take it anymore. Using her left hand she pulled out her gun and aimed it in the sky and shot.
"If you two don't shut up right now, I'll shoot your ears off." she threatened. Then she noticed something. "Hey. Is it just me or is the forest thicker and foggier now?" she asked.
"Hey... You're right. It is thicker." said Goku. Suddenly the fog became so thick, they couldn't see ten feet in front of them.
Hey! I can't see a thing!" complained Goku.
"We should continue on foot and look for shelter until the fog lifts." said Hakkai. Sanzo just 'Ch'ed.
"Great, just what we need!" she growled. Hadn't she been through enough?(A/N: Not nearly.) They all climbed out of Jeep and began to walk.
"Sanzo..." Goku moaned after 15 minutes. "I'm hungry!"
"Shut it, monkey." growled Sanzo. Just then Sanzo's foot slipped and she realized she was falling!
'Shit!!' she cursed in her mind as she fell.
"SANZO!!" yelled Goku, Gojyo, and Hakkai.
When Sanzo woke up hours later, her whole body was sore.
'Ugh... What happened?' she thought with a moan as she sat up. She looked up and saw that she had fallen pretty far. 'Oh, that's right. I fell.' she thought as she shakily stood. 'I wonder where I am. Obviously at a bottom of a cliff. How long was I out?' She gripped her arm as she began to walk. Her hand still wouldn't move and now it was bleeding, along with other parts of her body. She was bruised, scraped and numb. It was official. Today was the worst day of her entire life! 'It's karma, I know it! I've been hurting everyone one around me and manipulating them... I've tried to keep other people away by hurting and lying them... And now I'm caught in my own web of lies. Hakkai already knows I'm lying to him, and Goku and Gojyo probably figured it out, too. I'm hurting them... And myself.' Then it came to her. 'I think... I am my own worst enemy. I'm always hurting the people I care about and the people who care about me... And I.. Always betray myself... Like a curse. And that's why...' She burrowed my eyebrows. 'No... I... Don't want to think about it anymore. I feel sick. I feel sick.'
Then she suddenly felt a strange aura. She stopped, looking wary. Then she quickly whipped out her gun and got into a fighting stance. Just then, a enormous mist like dog appeared and attacked her! At first, she dodged, but the dog moved so fast, it caught Sanzo off guard and she got scratches on her arms where she blocked, and was thrown into the cliff wall. She coughed up a little blood as her back hit the wall. The dog pounced towards her and she recovered herself and blocked the beast with her arm, which it was biting into deeply. She winced. Damn, damn! Where were the others when she actually needed them?!
"D...Damn dog! Get away from me!" she growled. She kicked the dog off her arm, which was already numb, and with the other she punched the dog away a few feet. As the dog jumped back up, Sanzo lashed out her gun and shot at it. It dodged the bullets and appeared above her. She stumbled back, then shot the beast in it's eye. The beast let out a roar of pain and Sanzo took this opportunity to run! When she was far away from the dog, she let out a sigh as she slid down a tree. Oh, this day was just perfect! First that crazy cross dressing stalker puts a spell on her so she can't lie, then her hand goes numb, then she gets caught in this stupid forest in a fog, then she falls off a cliff, then she gets attacked by some demon monster!! The gods must hate her or something!
Then she heard a small growling from behind her. With a curse she jumped up and out of the way as the beast attacked again. She grabbed a sharp stick and with the it, she held it like a person would a dagger and jammed it into the beast's joints. The beast let out a loud howl, but it was still able to move. Sanzo ran and hid behind a tree, panting as she hid behind a tree after losing the dog temporarily.
'Damn... I've never fought anything like this before. It's not a demon, I know that... But then... what?' she wondered.
Just then she heard more rustling in the bushes. She quickly whipped around and saw...
"San-chan! There you are! I think I might have found the counter curse at long last!" said Tsuki as she cheerfully stepped out of the bushes. Then she saw all of Sanzo's wounds and blinked. "Wow. You must have been lying a lot. I've seen road kill that looked better than you."
"Not now!" snapped Sanzo. Just then the dog appeared again. "Move!" Sanzo yelled as she jumped out of the way just as the beast attacked.
"Huh?" said Tsuki as she blinked at the dog. The dog went to attack Sanzo again, but this time Tsuki stepped in front of it, smirk on her face.
"No worries! This is one of mine. I'll take care of him, no sweat!" she replied. Sanzo thought she had lost it. Tsuki pulled out what looked like a small black feather which turned into two throwing crescent moon blades. As she jumped in the air she threw them at the beast. The beast jumped over them and towards Tsuki, who stood there looking cocky.
"Tsuki!! What the hell are you doing?!" yelled Sanzo. Tsuki held up her hand up in front of her and a purple aura surrounded the dog and it froze in midair. Then Tsuki's two throwing crescent moon blades flew back into her hands and Tsuki sliced the dog up. The dog let out a howl then dissolved into mist. A small ward stone fell to the ground.
"Not one of my best works. Then again, I was 5 when I made it." she mumbled as he picked it up. Sanzo stared at her with disbelief.
"You mean... You made that... That thing?!" she yelled.
"Yeah. I made it when I younger, but I lost it while playing. I guess this is where it landed..." said Tsuki with a sweat drop. Sanzo's eyes shadowed, then she hit her with her fan.
"Ow! What was that for?!"
"For being an idiot!"
Tsuki bandaged Sanzo up and gave Sanzo another pair of robes.
"I don't even want to know why you have a pair of my robes on you." Sanzo said as she pulled the robe up.
"Wha? You never know when I'll need to dress up as you." said Tsuki with a bit of a pout. "Magic can't do everything you know."
"Speaking of which, did you find the counter spell to this curse on me?"
"I think so."
"Good. The other's are catching on to me. I need to be able to lie again." said Sanzo.
"Would it really be that bad if they found out you were a woman?"
"Yes." said Sanzo defiantly.
"Do you really think so? What do you think'll happen? Are you afraid that they'll hate you for lying to them all these years? Or are you afraid that if you tell them the truth they'll break down that wall you've built to protect your precious scars?" Sanzo was silent, so Tsuki knew she had hit the dot. "That's it, isn't it? You're afraid... That if you get too close to them, they'll die and it'll be all your fault, thus adding another painful scar."
"Shut up!" Sanzo yelled as she shot up. "What do you know?! You know nothing!" Tsuki looked at Sanzo with a half smile.
"Maybe. Or maybe I know more than you think." she said as she stood. "Sanzo, I have wounds like that, too. I have just as many scars as you do. Even more. They're painful, but they're all mine. It's my pain and I don't want anyone touching them." She walked over to Sanzo. " I didn't want to cry when I lost the people I loved. I didn't want... To wash away the pain. I didn't want to cry and let the tears wash away my memories." she closed her eyes. "I hate it when people mention my friends, my family, and my lover. Anytime someone mentions them... something ends... It tries to make all my thoughts into memories. I don't want that to happen. I never... want to forget anything."
'The wheels... Start to turn... and turn... with a force that I can no way resist... The wheels... turn slowly... and we drift apart... Kozen... the you I know and loved stays still... But I'm pushed forward everyday. Further... And further away from you... I don't want that to happen.' she thought as she opened her eyes and looked at Sanzo, dream state like.
"I don't want anyone to touch my heart... I don't want anyone to heal my wounds...I don't want... the scars I've come to treasure so much... to disappear." she said as she touched Sanzo's cheek. "You feel the same way about your Master and Shuei. They were so dear to you... And now they're gone. Leaving only these painful scars that burn and ache everyday."
'It aches... My heart aches... It hurts so much. But... This pain is the only bond... left between you and me... So I will cherish it.'
"I understand. I know you... Better than anyone, Sanzo... And it's because I know your pain, that I don't think you want it. Eventually, someone will break down your walls and they will become the person who knows you best. That person... who you know best as well. So stop being a coward and have some guts." Sanzo stared at her.
"Now then..." said Tsuki, changing the subject. "I have concocted a potion that will enable you to lie again! It's brilliant I tell you, brilliant!!" Right now she looked like a mad scientist, hair, lab coat, and all. Sanzo sweat dropped.
"I'm taking anything from you as long as you're wearing that." she said flatly.
"Aw, c'mon! I think I look cute in it! Oh, fine!" Tsuki said, seeing the look on her face. She lost the hair and coat. "Now, this should enable you to lie again." she said as she pulled out a small vial.
"...You try it first."
"Oh, come now! Don't you trust me?" Sanzo gave her a flat look. "Okay, point taken." Tsuki uncorked the bottle and took a sip. For a second nothing happened. Then there was big poof of smoke and Tsuki turned into a cat!
"Tsu...ki...?" blinked Sanzo.
"Ah, man! I turned my self into a cat again!" whined Tsuki. Sanzo pulled out her gun.
"Any last words?" she growled, her eyes glinting.
"WAAAHH!! W-wait! I know someone who might be able to help us!" cried Tsuki.
"Oh?" said Sanzo as she lowered her gun a little.
"Yes, but..." Tsuki trailed off as she looked thoughtful.
"But what?"
"Well, let's just say she doesn't like me very much. And I think she still might be mad at me. But I have no choice. I'll see you later, but remember! No lies! At all. The more you lie, the more of your body will become lost." Tsuki warned. Then she darted off in her cat form to god knows where.
"Sanzo!" Goku yelled as he broke into the clearing with the others.
"There you are you stupid monk! We've been looking all over for ya!" yelled Gojyo.
"Are you hurt?" Hakkai asked in his motherly tone. Sanzo stared at them. Her whole body was sore, and she was in horrible pain from that dog's attacks, but she wasn't going to admit that. Her pride wouldn't let her. She could stand a little pain.
"I'm fine." she said. She suddenly gave a loud gasp as her arm suddenly gave a terrible shot of pain. Then it went completely numb.
"Sanzo?!" exclaimed Goku as he stepped forward when he saw her grasp her arm. "You are hurt!"
"It's... nothing!" she gasped. She felt the numbness move.
"If you're going to lie, then do it well! You can barely stand!" said Gojyo.
"I said it's nothing!!" she yelled.
"Stop lying!!" Goku suddenly yelled. "What do you mean nothing? Do you now how worried we've been about you? You're always getting hurt, but you won't ever let us help you! You never tell us anything! Is it that hard for you to trust us?!"
Sanzo stared at him. So they did realize she was lying to them. Her whole body was in such pain, she couldn't take it anymore.
Her whole body hurt so much. She suddenly looked at them with the same look she had in the desert.
"So what are you saying? So what if I've been lying? It's okay to lie, isn't it? As long as it gets you nice dreams? Who cares as long as everything is going fine?" she said. Then she turned. "I want out of this forest. Now. If you want to keep traveling with me, then you're going to have to live with my lies, if you can't live with that, then I'll take my stuff and go." The others stared at her.
"You... You can't be serious." said Gojyo.
"Oh, but I am." said Sanzo without looking at them. "Decide now. I don't have all day." The others were quiet, all their eyes shadowed, not knowing what to say. Not daring to say anything. This was just like the time in the desert.
Finally Goku stepped forward.
"I'm not going anywhere. Even if you tell me I'm in the way... I'm not going to listen. I'll stick to you like honey to bread everyday. I'll dig into whatever it is you're hiding!" he said as he tugged at the back of her robes. She was silent. Then Gojyo stepped forward and slung a arm around her shoulder.
"Relax. We're not blamin' you or anything. We all got our secrets. We just don't want you killing yourself over them." he said.
"I'm sorry if I forced you into a corner, Sanzo. I'm just worried about you." said Hakkai as he stepped forward. Sanzo was still quiet, then she pushed Gojyo's arm off.
"Then let's get going. I've had enough of this forest." she said as she started walking.
//Meanwhile//
"So you see, oh Merciful Goddess... That's what happened." Tsuki finished explaining in her cat form to the Kanzeon.
"So, let me get this straight... You played around with spells you could barely understand and you made it so my niece couldn't lie and you turned yourself into a cat." said Kanzeon as she drummed her fingers.
"Uh... Yeah pretty much." said Tsuki with a sweat drop.
"Lord Tsuki-Yomi, how could you be so irresponsible?" exclaimed Jiroushin with a sweat drop.
"Hm... How indeed?" mumbled Tsuki.
"And what do you want me to do? You're the god of both the Spirt world and the moon. Surely you could handle something as simple as this." said the Kanzeon.
"True but... Right now I'm too lazy, and I'm a cat. And I'm sick of looking through all those books. So can you help us? Please?" said Tsuki.
"I don't see why I should." said the Kanzeon boredly.
"Oh, c'mon!!" whined Tsuki.
"Forget it, boyo. I'm not going to help you and no amount of begging and pleading will change my mind." said the Kannon.
'Oh, really?' Tsuki thought. Then he began to paw on the Kannon chair while crying,
"Please! Please, San-chan's gonna kill me if I don't reverse the spell! Please!"
//10 minutes later//
The goddess twitched as Tsuki continued to whine and plea.
"Please! I don't wanna die yet!"
"Alright, alright!" the Goddess growled as she tossed Tsuki a scroll. "You turn yourself back to human. That much I know you can do."
"Right!" said Tsuki as she turned back into a human. But this time she was a woman with long black hair in a ponytail and brown eyes. "Thanks so much Auntie!!" she waved as she ran out.
//Back To Sanzo//
Sanzo sat by her window, smoking. Her whole left arm was numb and she couldn't move it. The others finally decided to leave her alone after she literally threw Gojyo out.
Suddenly Tsuki knocked at the window.
"Yo! I got the counter spell! And it'll really work this time!" she said.
"It better, or you're so dead." said Sanzo as she opened the window, making Tsuki topple in.
"It is! And did you have to be on the 4th floor?" said Tsuki as she stood. "Hold still." Then she chanted a spell and Sanzo felt her chest loosen and all feeling returned to her arm.
"There." said Tsuki. "You're a despicable liar again. And best of all none of your friends are even the slightest aware that you're actually a girl! They're all such idiots!"
"TSUKI!" Sanzo suddenly yelled, wide eyes filled with fear and anger.
"Huh?" said Tsuki as she turned. She turned paper white and her hair stood as her face looked like the portrait 'Scream'. Standing in the doorway with a smile and two dots for eyes, was Hakkai.
"S...Sanzo...?" he said. He heard voices from Sanzo's room and decided to come and see. Tsuki and Sanzo just stood there.
"Don't move." whispered Tsuki. "Maybe he doesn't see us." Sanzo glared at her, then whacked her with her fan, while saying words that went WAY above the rating.
//Later//
"So as you can see, that's what's been happening since you've begun to travel." Tsuki finished explaining to Hakkai after Sanzo finished pummeling her. Sanzo was sitting in a corner, embarrassed and... what? Scared? Of what Hakkai's reaction might be? Maybe.
"Oh..." was all Hakkai, said. He was in deep shock, that much was certain. His brain was still processing all the information. "S-so you're a girl..." he said to Sanzo.
"I think we've established that." said Tsuki. "We're waiting for you to finish processing that information and then for you to react to it already. So... React."
"We-well, i-it certainly explains a lot. All those strange voices coming from your room at times were you and Tsuki talking... and that one time... The one who called himself the Master of Disguise, that was Miss Tsuki." said Hakkai, eyes still very wide. Tsuki laughed nervously.
"Yep... You know if I hadn't gotten so caught up in my game, you never would have figured it out." she said.
"You almost gave away my secret over a game?!" hissed Sanzo as she grabbed Tsuki's collar.
"What can I say? I get so caught up when playing cards I forget what I'm doing..." she said with a nervous laugh. "Don't kill me!"
"But what I don't understand Sanzo, is why did you lie to us?" interrupted Hakkai, coming to Tsuki's rescue. Sanzo looked at him through the corner of her eye, then dropped Tsuki.
"Because it's none of your business. And besides, girls aren't suppose to monks, much less Sanzo priests. And if you tell the other two idiots that I'm woman, I'll kill you." she threaten.
"Well, as much as I hate to keep secrets, I'm just relieve that I'm not gay!" said Hakkai as he put a hand over his chest.
"What?"
"Nothing! Nothing at all."
♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♀♂♀♂♀
Well, I finally revealed Sanzo's secret. Even if it's just to Hakkai.
Tsuki: I speak for everyone when I say, 'IT'S ABOUT TIME!!'
GWNL: Yes, but... What am I suppose to do now? I really liked keeping Sanzo's secret.
Tsuki: Go outside!
GWNL: Are you nuts, there are people out there!!
Tsuki: Smacks self in head
