Chapter 10 - Lying Saviors

It is an age of suffering and despair, demons appear out of the darkness to terrorize the land and the humans try to escape as the earth plunges into chaos but just when all hope appears to be lost, a single shaft of light shines from the east and the young man appears with a holy scripture around his shoulders as a vestment and a crimson shakera upon his brow. With four friends at his side, They combat demons to restore tranquility...

"Ugh, Sanzo... Ray-Ray, I'm hungry!" Goku complained to them as Rayla once again sat behind Sanzo in the Jeep. It had taken time for them to get moving but they were heading west again in the same fashion.

Rayla pulled out a meat bun for Goku, "This is my last one, Goku..." He had already swallowed it whole. *Sweat drop* "Sometimes I feel as though it is useless to even hand him one..." She muttered.

"Day in and day out, it's always the same thing 'I'm Hungry! I'm Hungry!' Can't you say anything else you one trick monkey!" Gojyo snapped at him while Sanzo held a hand to his forehead.

An irk mark appeared on Goku's cheek, "Hey you lay off long hair! At least I don't have a grotto for brains, you sissy water sprite!" Goku leaned his head closer to argue as Gojyo placed a hand on his head to keep him back.

Rayla sighed as she moved closer to Hakkai and Sanzo to avoid being caught up in their argument at Goku tried to punch and kick Gojyo, "Grotto huh? That's a pretty big word for a monkey. I bet you don't even know what it means!"

Goku paused, "I do to know what it means, ugh!"

"Oh really? Then let's hear it... well... Come on!"

Goku peeked around Gojyo's hand that was covering his face, he ground his teeth as another irk mark appeared, "Well... I'm listening" Gojyo taunted.

Goku looked to Sanzo for help, "Sanzo!"

"Please just kill me..." Sanzo grumbled still holding his head.

Gojyo snapped at Sanzo, "What! What are saying something behind my back!"

"I'm staying out of this!"

"But Sanzo you said Gojyo had the brain of a Grotto."

Gojyo got annoyed, "And you call yourself a monk!"

Hakkai smiled at Rayla while she sighed again, she climbed into the front to sit beside Hakkai as she leaned on his shoulder to try and block out the arguing, "It's nice of you to join me." He whispered to her.

She looked at him pleading, "Please save me from this..."

"I meant it in the nicest possible way..." Sanzo lied through his teeth as he took notice of Rayla who was now beside him.

Hakkai looked ahead, "Hey were coming up to a village so can you be on your best behavior..." He looked over Ray's black hair to find they were still arguing.

"That does it now I'm angry!" All three of them began to fight pathetically making Rayla snap she turned and hit them all over the head, "SHUT UP, I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!"

The small village was bustling with the markets and stands, children were playing freely and happily as the continued to walk through town.

"Food... Food... Every where I look there's food! I'm gonna eat that!" Goku said as he pumped his fist as he walked, "And that, oh and that too!"

Sanzo was right behind him with Gojyo and Hakkai on each side, Rayla was at Hakkai's side observing Goku, "We should be able to find a place to sleep around here no problem!" Hakkai said with his usual smile as he looked at Ray.

"And then its just a matter of finding someone to sleep around with..." Gojyo purred walking closer to Ray and placing an arm around her shoulder. She sighed as Sanzo looked out the corner of his eyes with a heated glare at him making Gojyo hold his hands up in mock surrender and stepping away from her.

Sanzo hadn't been watching where he was walking and bumped into a young child, before the boy could fall to the ground Rayla quickly caught him. The four looked at the child now held in her arms, "I'm sorry we were just playing tag and I guess I thought I'd get-" The boy stopped short after looking at the guys and then to the women who held him.

"Are you alright?"

"Are you okay?"

Hakkai and Rayla asked at the same time, they looked each other before smiling. The child however seemed to be quite interested in Sanzo as he looked him up and down, "OH MY GOD!" The sudden outburst made them all look stunned, "Your priest Sanzo!" The boy exclaimed earning everyone's attention.

The towns people began to swarm their little group to look at Sanzo, Rayla set the boy down gently before walking to his side, "You seem to be popular... Sanzo." She whispered to him as the frown on his face deepened, "Just what I needed..." He complained to her as the villagers continued to mutter quietly around them.

The four guys sat a table that had a white cloth, Rayla stood between and behind Sanzo and Goku. The expressions on most of their faces were bored yet surprised as the head of the village spoke up, "Quiet! Quiet everyone! Oh priest Sanzo, I can't tell you how pleased we are that you came back to our humble village..."

"Excuse me... I'm sorry but what are you talking about?" Hakkai asked confused by the old mans words.

He bowed his head slightly before answering, "Oh yes... Let me explain. It was your friend Sanzo that came to save our village ugh let's see ugh... some four hundred years ago and now to our great delight he has returned. You honor us with your presence."

Rayla blinked once before looking at the very man they were praising, "That's funny, I would've guessed your much younger than that..." Goku commented looking at Sanzo as well.

Rayla giggled quietly covering her mouth at Goku's innocent comment, "That's because I am." Sanzo stated slightly annoyed.

Goku turned to Hakkai for answers as Sanzo looked at Rayla who was watching Goku, "The name Sanzo has been passed down from generation to generation, Goku."

"We were not able to thank priest Sanzo properly back then and we had vowed we would make it up to him if he ever returned to our village. So please anything our people can offer you is yours..." The larger man told them.

"I see... I understand your gratitude..." Sanzo said solemnly.

"Well then?"

Sanzo stood from his seat, "but while all this is very kind -" Sanzo was cut off as Goku and Gojyo covered his mouth.

"The great Sanzo says he welcomes your hospitality..." Gojyo started.

"And the great priest is awfully hungry." Goku finished as Sanzo glared.

The irk was on his cheek once more, "Greedy bastards..." He muttered behind their hands.

Hakkai laughed at Sanzo's situation, "Yes, why of coarse sir..." The old man old them unsure and concerned by the reactions.

"HOLD IT!" the head villager looked up at them, "Ugh is there more?"

"Sanzo wants steaks and plenty of alcohol..." Goku added again with a huge smile on his young face.

Gojyo too was far to excited, "And pretty young virgin maidens, oh yeah!"

"Oh and he seems to be asking for a nice warm bed too!" Hakkai put in as well with his charming smile in play.

Rayla sighed at their foolishness, "I'll kill them..." Sanzo muttered. Rayla stepped forward to help Sanzo. She pushed both Gojyo and Goku off of him forcing the two into their seats. She moved swiftly to pull Sanzo into his chair as well before returning to her original spot. That caught the villagers attention as they watch mouths open commenting on her beauty and speed.

"Of coarse we will take of it right away..." Once the villagers finally piled out Sanzo looked at Rayla slightly grateful before she turned a heated glare on the other three.

She walked up to Gojyo first *WHACK!* "Virgin maidens? What is wrong with you? Stinking lecher!"

Goku was next as her glare changed it's coarse, "I'm sorry Ray-Ray!" She sighed at him, "Ask Goku, I will do what ever I can for you!" She told him with a frown unable to hurt the boy when he looked at her like that, Gojyo was greatly annoyed by this fact.

She turned to Hakkai next as he smiled at her, "Well done for thinking of a place to sleep Hakkai."

The others fell over slightly in shock, "Why hit me and not the others!" Gojyo demanded but was shut up by the malicious aura she gave off as he huddled with Goku for protection, "I swear I was only sent as a sitter..." She muttered pinching the bridge of her nose.

They were still waiting at the table once the commotion between them had settled down, Goku placed a hand on Sanzo's shoulder, "Man you really look upset..."

"Relax think of the guilt these people won't have to live with for not thanking you properly..." Gojyo tried as Sanzo held his hands together infront of his face, "Damn Narcissists, Sure this is nice for awhile but then there's the aftermath."

"Oh? Such as?" Hakkai asked.

Rayla sighed and answered for him since she had been by his side and dealt with it before, "They villagers seek out Sanzo asking for his advice and experiences. The counseling is in return for the meal and nights rest, not worth the trouble for Sanzo."

They looked her wide eyed by her response, "Great you've tainted the only women I get to be around." Gojyo complained.

Hakkai chuckled, "Sure it's bad for him but I fail to see the downside for the rest of us..."

"There isn't... yet however we have company!" Rayla forewarned as the doors opened up.

"HEY! Listen up you imposters, your little charade is finished. Stop this silly game of yours cause the real and authentic Sanzo party has arrived."

*Sweat drops* Another group of five stood before them, One was fat and short who was dressed like Hakkai. The Sanzo imposter was far to skinny as he pathetically tried to fill the role. Gojyo's fan went with blue instead of red and was far to short while the fake Goku they had was a full grown and ugly adult. Rayla's imposter was flat in every aspect and had the worst outfit she had ever seen as the women hung off of majority of the males around her.

"WELL?" They demanded.

They pointed and laughed as even Rayla let out a giggle at their expense, "Hey stop laughing!" Fake Goku demanded.

Fake Gojyo held his hand out at the fake Sanzo, "Do you have any idea who this is? It's none other than the famous and legendary Sanzo! Show some respect!" The comment made even Sanzo start to laugh.

The fake Rayla rubbed into the fake Sanzo, "How could you not worship such an amazing man, I am in awe... Master." The women then began moving over to the others giving them praise with more touch than was needed.

Rayla stopped laughing, "That makes me slightly sick..." She muttered as the others laughed even harder at her expense.

"I can't believe... make them stop... make them stop Ray..." Gojyo spat between laughs.

Goku smiled and laughed while he pointed at his own imposter, "Will you get a load of this guy... Ha! He's hilarious!"

"Look two Hakkai's but three chins!" Hakkai laughed at his own fake.

Rayla sighed in disgust, "This women disgraces my name, I am not clinging to any of them! Not to mention your failure a style and class"

Sanzo was next as even he had a smile, "You know this one looks more like the princess than a priest!"

The group before them became annoyed as the real Sanzo party laughed at their expense except for Rayla who was absolutely appalled, "Stop making fun of us, you fakes! Your the real imposters!"

Gojyo who had been holding his chest from laughing so much stop instantly after that comment, "Excuse me? Who's the half assed knock off?" He grabbed Rayla and pulled her to him, "I mean honestly my charm has her completely in love with me!" Rayla glared.

She swatted his arm off as she became angered, "Alright time to see who's really the fakes..." She said as she started for them reaching for her blades. Sanzo grabbed her brought her back closer to him as her back hit his chest.

"Don't, it's not worth the effort, Ray..." He told her looking down at her violet eyes.

She had a light touch of pink as she turned to look over at the head of the village who had walked in confused, "ugh... ee... ugh... oh... uggghhh... I-I-I- I don't understand this... W-W-What the hells going on in here? Two Sanzo's?" He stuttered before looking at them...

Somehow they had manged up in a jail cell, Rayla was infuriated. The five of them stood there in a row, Rayla, Hakkai, Goku, Sanzo and Gojyo at the end as the bar closed on the cell, "What just happened?" Goku asked stunned at the turn of events.

"When I get my hands on them..." Rayla growled out with a fist held up shaking.

Hakkai put a hand on hers as he smiled, "Well apparently it looks like we didn't do a very good job of being ourselves." Hakkai explained to him, "And you need to calm down or the beautiful face of yours will wrinkle." He told her.

The smile he wore seemed to make everything else sparkle as sweat dropped the back of her head and a light pink arrived on her cheeks, "I didn't even get my dinner..." Goku broke the moment by walking up to Rayla before giving her the 'puppy' look, "Ray-Ray... I'm hungry!" He whined before wrapping his arms around her waist and rubbing his face into her chest. Gojyo and Hakkai tried to pull him off her due the area he chose to stuff his face into, Sanzo didn't seem to care that much as she called for him.

Sanzo sighed in relief as she dealt with young boy in the background, "At least they won't be pestering me to solve all their problems for them..." Sanzo stated.

Goku heard this making him release Rayla to yell at Sanzo, "Come on! You just can't admit your the one who screwed this up, this is your fault!"

"Excuse me? Say that again!"

"Calm down, I mean whats the use in fighting about it now. At least we have beds to sleep on..." Hakkai told them trying to look on the bright side.

The four of them looked at the two stone beds covered in straw, "Beds huh?" They said together and stared thinking about their current situation.

Gojyo laughed, "You've got to admit it, those guys got us pretty good eh fellas? To think they think of you so ugly Ray!" He laughed again.

The irk mark appeared on her brow, "I am not like that at all!" as she slightly shook with fury.

"I never would have thought we were worth impersonating." Hakkai told them chuckling at the end.

Goku pouted still upset about his empty stomach, "Hey Sanzo... I'm hungry!"

"How would you like to eat dirt?" He asked as his eyebrow twitched.

The guard turned and looked over his shoulder to yell at them, "All right, Knock it off!"

"Hey! Buddy! I don't suppose you could slip me something to eat here?" Goku asked looked like a trapped puppy poking his head between the bars, each hand holding a side.

The guard seemed to ignorant to their strengths, "You know you make a lot of demands for a criminal, SHUT UP!"

"I promise I'll be quiet just as soon as you bring me something to eat!"

"What do you think this is, a hotel? I wouldn't feed you if I had any food."

Goku put his head down saddened and hungry, "Okay, in that case I'll just get it myself!"

"Now that I'd like to see! Do you have any idea who I-" He guard stopped short from shock as he watched Goku easily pull the bars apart so he could get out.

The guard was stunned as he dropped his weapon, Goku walked out like a zombie muttering 'food' over and over. The guard backed away completely frightened, he went to run away but Gojyo had used his weapon to take out the over weight man's feet knocking him to the ground.

"Na-uh-uh-ugh! Not so fast!" Gojyo told him over the guards screams.

Hakkai smiled as he walked out of the entrance Goku had made with Rayla at his side, "Honestly, how do you expect to keep an eye on us if you go running off like that!"

Gojyo began to drag him back as the four of them walked up to the frightened man, "Now let's see..." Gojyo started as they all leaned down, the man screamed the loudest of all before passing out.

"Guard!" Gojyo called as he held out a huge pile of cigarette butts on an ashtray, "Does this look empty to you?"

The beaten but alive guard came running as fast as he could holding a pile of dishes, "Coming Sir!" He called out.

Goku was munching to his hearts content, Hakkai was sipping sake, "So he's not bad ..." Sanzo held out his hand with an empty and quickly crushed beer can while the other was already sipping at another, "Where's my beer?" He demanded and the guard came running back their way.

"Right here sir!"

Goku stuffed his face over and over again with each dish that came his way, he was so happy about his increasingly full stomach. Rayla observed the several plates of well prepared food, smokes, booze and everything else the group could ask for. She shook her head before she was grabbed and brought to sit beside Sanzo.

The other four stopped everything and looked at the two before a slight irk mark appeared upon their cheeks, "What's the deal monk?" Gojyo demanded.

"None of your business cockroach!" He snapped back before talking to Rayla, "Eat."

"Pain in the ass." She muttered but did as she was told. She paused for a moment cause the other three had still been staring, "WHAT!" She snapped at them.

They boys continued what they were doing while muttering 'nothing', Sanzo still wore a smirk with make her slender black brow twitch in annoyance.

Sanzo was passed out on one straw bed lazily crossed over to cover most of it, while Gojyo and Goku managed to flop out cold on the other. Hakkai was leaned up against the bed Sanzo was on while Rayla merely leaned against the wall by Hakkai watching over them, Some what like children... I suppose but I wonder what has gotten into them. They have been treating me somewhat different. She thought to herself.

She thought back to when she was up against Sanzo's back, the feeling was odd, I don't understand it, he always seemed different to me but then I met the others. Each one of them special and unique but the similar all the same. Sometimes I wonder why I am here but they allow it and I can't deny I want to be with them.

Rayla's Memory

Rayla was preparing for another mission with Sanzo, she constantly cleaned and sharpened her blades while making sure her pack held the things that would be needed. Her room was simple, no trinkets or pictures. No toys or girly things she merely had a bare room and white sheets, She set her things down before changing into a sleeveless nightgown for bed. It reached above her knee but since no monk or priest would come near her room she had nothing to worry about.

The door closed hard making her gasp as she turned with her weapon drawn and pointed at a familiar blonde. She sighed before lowering her weapon and tilting her head to the side. Sanzo had his bangs covering his eyes, she felt a little unease due to the lack of clothing. Sanzo took a step towards her and she took a step back, "Do you fear me, Rayla?" Sanzo slightly slurred.

"No, however you do seem to be drunk... again." She replied. As she looked at his attire, He worse a similar shirt as she only no cut out over the chest. It didn't hide his toned chest however and the jeans we wore complimented his long and muscular legs

Sanzo took another step forward and she took one back, "Your always within my reach but I can not have you..." He muttered so quietly she almost hadn't heard him.

She stopped at his words and he used the moment to quickly pin her to the wall with a hand on each side of her head. He lowered his head to her ear, "S-Sanzo...?" She stuttered angry at herself for allowing such weakness with him.

She couldn't slow her heartbeat down as her cheek became rosy lighting up her ivory skin, her stomach felt a float as her body became a mass of tingles and her breath became short. Sanzo smirked at her reaction as he enjoying the discomfort and embarrassment he brought her. He closed his eyes and leaned his head onto her shoulder, his lips brushed across her neck and it sent a warm shiver down her spine.

Sanzo's breathing became deep as she turned and looked over at his face. An irk mark appeared when she found him fast asleep, He does this after or before every mission, I can't take how he does this to me! Stupid monk, women swoons he walks past them yet he chooses to bother me about it? Rayla thought to herself as she rolled him off her and onto her bed. She pulled sheets over him knowing he would not remember the next morning and it was best not to tell him since she chose to avoid the emotion. She knew that getting close to anyone... would cause them death... she would never fall in love... it caused nothing but pain.

Sanzo sneezed snapping her out of her memory and back to how things were now, once Goku came he had stopped the drunken visits since she was usually with Goku. The distance bothered her a little but Gojyo and Hakkai came into the picture not long after that. They filled her heart but she never gave it to any of them, Goku was her main priority but she could never forget what Sanzo had done for her, she still vowed her life to him and she would keep that promise!

A demon? Rayla thought as the feeling came to her in a wave throughout her body. She knew she was right as the others... well besides Goku awoke with a start. It had to be another assassin but she knew Kougaiji had no real reason to send others. It was the one he answered to Could it be the women that demon spoke of? She thought to herself.

"Heads up!" Hakkai warned but the majority was already aware.

Sanzo was seated now, "Looks like we've got another assassin in our midst gentlemen."

"Ahem!"

"And Rayla."

*Irk*

Gojyo tapped Goku's cheek, "Hey Goku! Wake up!"

Goku peeked open his left eye to look at Gojyo, "Breakfast already?"

"It's coming!" Sanzo warned.

"Oh nice! You ordered out this time!"

Gojyo stood as a grunt could be heard likely from their guard, they were confirmed as the guard was knocked back into the view of their cell, "Oh god no! Not another one!" The guard screamed before running away.

Another one? "Great not those morons again!" Rayla muttered to herself. Their imposters slowly walked into view as well, "You know these guys are looking a little blue in the face." Gojyo pointed out as that caught their fakes attention.

"Looks like these are the guys after us." Sanzo sounded annoyed, bored and kind of disappointed.

Hakkai smiled and mocked them with sarcasm, "I'm quaking in my boots."

"Hmm..." Goku moaned as he tired to fall back to sleep, "WAKE UP!" Gojyo yelled at him.

*BOOM* (hehe!)

The side of the cell they had been in was blasted open as Sanzo, Rayla, Hakkai, Gojyo and the now alert Goku ran into the open with their fakes right on their tails. They hadn't said a single word and all of them had blue-ish skin now.

"These guys sure move fast for fakes, don't they?" Sanzo stated getting annoyed.

Hakkai filled in the rest for mostly Goku's sake, "Someone's manipulating our little impersonators from somewhere else..."

"Time for our morning exercise..." Gojyo commented cracking his knuckles.

Goku hand both hands behind his head head as his posture was lazily relaxed, "So, what's The plan?"

"We beat the crap out of them!" Rayla growled with an evil smirk upon her face.

*Sweat drops* "Try not to get carried away now , Ray. They maybe being manipulated but their still human beings and we should probably go easy on them. " Hakkai told her waving his hands in a downwards motion, "Ahh, ummm..." Hakkai stuttered out looking at Goku and Rayla.

"What?" They asked together, "What's the matter?"

"Goku, Ray. Two stand back." Gojyo suggests.

Goku's eyes widened while Rayla glared understanding now what they meant, "How come?' He asked.

"Because neither of you can really go easy on anyone, can you?" Gojyo mocked.

The fake Hakkai spoke with a deeper voice, his mouth opening as if moved by another being. Damn Hakkai's right! She thought disappointed, "This is no time for chit chat now is it?"

"Your all as good as dead anyways so get ready to die!" The fake Goku exclaimed before launching himself into the air for an attack.

Goku who hadn't been listening finally noticed the incoming attack and summoned Nyoi-bo, "Ah shit!" He cursed as it appeared. He met the fake in the air with is open weapon and the weapons clashed.

The villagers gathered around to watch as they continued in their fight, since Goku was trying to go easy they were meeting hit with hit. Sanzo squared off with his own, he was unable to use his gun so his marital arts skills came in handy as he avoided the spear that came it his face, he dodged the tip from side to side.

Gojyo's fake came it him with a similar but far more useless weapon at the ready, "Man, these guys aren't push-overs." He grumbled standing there with slight ease.

Hakkai's fake had duel blades drawn as he charge at him, "Who-ever controlling them is have a mass amount of power, if this drags on the strain will eventually drain out their host." Hakkai ducked to avoid the blade that flew by where his head had been, "Sorry but Rayla is far better with two blades..."

"I have to agree perhaps you would like dagger girl here?" She said she dodged her own fake. Rayla had to continuously dodge out of fear if she fought she would end up killing the irritating human.

Gojyo did the same as the end of the crescent moon shaped staff flew at his arm, Gojyo brought up his own weapon to stop the attackers attack before it could touch him, "Damn, Then what are we supposed to do?" He asked Hakkai with a smoke lite in his mouth.

Goku landed one the ground not far from them with a smile on his face, his golden eyes twinkling with excitement, "What do you think?" He asked the rhetorical question. The four of them looked at him surprised, "We knocked them out so he can't control them anymore!" He extended Nyoi-bo nailing his imposter in the gut knocking him out.

Rayla dodged her own fake, as she flew passed her Rayla brought her fingers down on a pressure point and knocked her own fake out. "Pathetic, you should have said so sooner Goku..." She muttered to him as he blinked at Rayla.

"WOW! Your so awesome Ray-Ray!" He said as he held his hands to hands to his chest like a boy who had just seen the most amazing toy in the world.

*Sweat drop*

Gojyo grunted earning their attention, he ducked out of the path of the enemy weapon flipping himself over and behind his fake. With a hard kick to back he finished off his opponent by knocking his out too.

Hakkai grabbed the hands of his fake and twisted making him drop his swords, he pinned him to the ground in one quick movement pinning his head and hand with one knee, still holding the other arm out, "The bigger they are the harder they fall!" He called out victoriously.

Sanzo brought his fist hard towards his imposter as he dodged the spear on last time, he gave an upper cut punch to the fake's jaw and sending him up and back knocked out cold, "That everyone?" He asked with a smirk on his handsome face.

The four of his comrades stood together, Rayla, Hakkai, Goku and Gojyo smirked, "We got five!" Goku confirmed.

"Ya, that was a pretty good workout." Gojyo commented in a mocking tone.

Rayla folded her arms over her chest, "A waste of time..."

"We'll let Sanzo do the cleaning up part." Hakkai told her to cheer her up. Sanzo was already gone from sight as the four of them felt the presence of the demon close by.

She listened knowing she would be able to hear him now, "Good grief, that sure didn't last very long. Oh well, I didn't care very much which side ended up dead anyways."

"Their all enemies, right?"

"Yes, it's so much simpler to have them killing each other rather than having to mess with them yourself... What the-? Sanzo! How did you find me?" The demon gasped as he just clicked in that someone was not even meters away from him. He looked over his shoulder to find Sanzo there on the rooftop with him.

Rayla, Hakkai, Goku, Gojyo and the whole village now were watching but only his companions could really hear the conversation, "What are you, a moron? Someone had to be using their powers to manipulate them. All I had to do was follow the smell." Sanzo informed with his usual brutish and insulting tone.

"Very good, Sanzo but now how good are your other senses?" The demon asked with a smile before launching himself from his cross legged sitting position into the air.

Sanzo stood calmly with his hands on his hips he jumped into the air as the blast sent his way was completely avoided but destroyed part of the roof, "Aw, Sanzo's just showing off!" Goku smiled.

"Good luck up there!" Gojyo said with a hand to his forehead for a salute, "Hurry it up will you..." Rayla growled up at him.

Sanzo stood near the edge closest to the group, "You are a moron!"

The demon laughed back as hands began to from an attack between them, "Now your asking for it! Sanzo, Your life is mine!" The demon told him throwing the attack. Sanzo lazily dodged it as it flew past and behind him. The demon threw more and each time Sanzo dodge with little to no effort needed. The demon continued as Sanzo looked as if he was hardly moving, the sun began to his of the horizon and Sanzo began illuminated in a golden glow.

Sanzo put his hands together as if to pray and whispered to himself, "By the dawn of day I use your light repel the darkness. The sunrise is the end of nightfall for the holy scripture now, SEND HIM BACK!" The Matan Scripture was summoned the use of it's power, capturing the demon in its restraints.

Sanzo pulled out his revolver and took aim, he pulled the trigger and shot was sent blasting the demon away. Their doubles slowly began to wake as all of them head their sore and aching bodies, "AH, every inch of body feels like its burning!" The fake Hakkai complained.

"I feel like hell!" Gojyo wanna-be whined.

Sanzo fake held his head in pain, "Oh God, Why does my head hurt?"

They gasped as they all realized they were surrounded by the real Sanzo party, "How do you like fighting real demons, you fake bastards!" Gojyo remarked cockily.

"Boy! You guys got a long way to go before you can be anything like us!" Goku told them with a sadistic smile, "Pathetic!" Rayla remarked with a glare.

Hakkai had a taunting smile on his face as he held his chin ,"Being a member of the Sanzo party can get a little dangerous so I would advise finding other work." He suggested.

The five of the were on their hands and knee's mouths opened wide like fish, "Well fellas and.. little girl."

They turned their eyes onto Sanzo, "W-What is it sir?" Fake Sanzo stuttered.

"Dress up days is over now get the hell out of here!"

The fake Rayla had hearts her eyes as she stared at the boys, "So amazing... I think I have found Love-" She stopped mid-sentence as she caught Rayla's dark aura. The fake Goku grabbed the women around the waist before crying out 'yes, sir' and running away as fast as they could.

"Yet again, Master Sanzo has saved our village from the demon threat!" A very old man praised, So that's the real head of the village Rayla thought with a sweat drop on the back of her head.

"It's not like we went out of our way to save you guys. To be honest, we only fought for our own personal reasons." Sanzo informed them bluntly.

The old man wasn't fazed though, "Still You are worthy of our admiration. You must have worked quite hard to develop those abilities we all witnessed here."

"Are you kidding?" Sanzo asked in disbelief, "I hate hard work more than any thing in the world!"
