A/N: Woohoo! A big reveal chapter. And it's a decent length! Finally, everyone knows what's going on. Though I'm sure all you readers figured it out already. Just a little reminder; make sure to read this along with Feminine Reflection by Astral Writer. It's a companion story, it's supposed to go together.

Disclaimer: I do not own reliability! Wait... No, I don't own Saiyuki, and neither am I reliable. I'm pretty sure that's what I was supposed to say...

Sanzo had lit up a cigarette as soon as Goku and her had gotten back, and had been reading the newspaper until Goumei decided to join them. "What's up with your face, Nixie?" Goku questioned, looking at the smug grin on Goumei's lips. The girl frowned momentarily, before the grin returned.

"I'm pretty sure I struck gold down at the bar. There was this guy." she whistled, "Damn, that boy was fine." she said, biting her lip as she smiled at the memory.

Goku wrinkled her nose. "Why are you so weird?"

Goumei glared, before smacking the monkey over the head. "You'll understand when you're older, kid." she huffed.

"I'm not a kid!" Goku yelled, surging forward for the kappa, when she tripped over the empty wash basin, knocking it to the floor with a loud crash.

"AAAAHHHHHH!" she screamed, frustrated with everything.

Goumei's only response was to laugh. "Serves you right, you stupid monkey."

"I'm not stupid! You slutty Nixie!"

SMACK!

"You're both stupid, now shut up." Sanzo ordered, replacing the paper fan back into her sleeve—

"...And that's what happened." Goku said, sitting back on the bed.

Hachiko looked at her three companions, seeing that they were all serious. She sighed, picking up the pieces of the basin and putting them on the corner of the table. "Okay, at least no one's hurt." she said, picking up the bags of groceries and starting to put them away.

"Oh, food!" Goku exclaimed, seeing the apples Hachiko had gotten.

"Now now Goku, those are for later. It looks like this place is serving lunch now, how about we go downstairs instead?" Hachiko suggested, keeping the apples out of the monkey's grasp.

"Yeah! Alright, let's go," Goku said, already up and out the door. Goumei rolled her eyes, following after the monkey, while Sanzo snorted, putting her paper down as well. They got downstairs and asked the owner for a table. They were quickly seated, and Goku wasted no time in ordering basically the first part of the menu. It wasn't long before their table was full of plates of steaming food.

"Oh, yum!" Goku said, her hand going for a plate of dumplings.

"I don't think so. Goumei said, swatting Goku's hand and pulling the plate towards her.

"Hey! I wanted some of those."

"Nope. These're mine." she said, smirking at the younger girl.

"That's not fair!" Goku whined.

Goumei rolled her eyes, "Would you like some cheese with that whine?" she asked rhetorically, taking some dumplings and passing the plate on to Hachiko. While she wasn't giving the food to the girl, at least Goku could see that the plate might come around to her.

"I'm not whining! Besides, you're hogging the food!"

"I'm making sure everyone gets some. Try leaving something for the rest of us."

"Then order your own food!"

"Shut up and eat." Sanzo growled, patience dangerously thin. Both girls shrunk from the possibility of getting hit with a fan, or getting shot at. Goku pouted, and went for her drink. She grabbed a tall glass of what she assumed was her soda, and took a large gulp, before spitting it out again.

"Eew. That had alcohol in it." she said, looking disgusted.

"That was my drink!" Goumei said, shocked, before launching to her feet. ""You Stupid Monkey!""

At the sound of an echo, four heads turned towards one direction. On the other side of the room, there was a mirror image of a redhead standing over a matching embarrassed monkey. Behind them was familiar company.

""Whoa."" the brunettes said in unison.

"Stereo." the other one added.

There was a moment of pause, before Goku reached for Sanzo's sleeve.

"Sanzo?" she asked, her voice laced with worry.

The monk had been staring down the person across the room in robes, and didn't even glance at the other girl at the table. "Hachiko." it was a demand for an explanation.

Hachiko fumbled for a moment. "Oh, dear...Um, perhaps they're assassins, meant to seduce us...?" Hachiko tried. She really didn't have an explanation, but Sanzo wanted something. The assassin part made sense, but she really had no reason why they would appear to be male versions of them. Seduction was the only thing that came to mind, no matter how weak it actually sounded.

"..But with ourselves...?" Hakkai questioned, hitting the one weak point of her argument.

"Well, they are fetching." Goumei put in, grinning at the view she had. All of them did look good, though the other monk looked too grouchy for her taste, and the young boy made her think of the younger brother type.

"Right back at ya." Gojyo shot back, much to her delight.

"Eew." Goku cringed from the thought. Why would they even try something like that? It might work on someone like that slutty nixie, but her?

"Wait... maybe this is one of those manga ploys—" Hachiko started, a much likelier idea coming to mind.

"Yeah, where the main characters meet parallel universe versions of themselves—" Hakkai finished, reaffirming the idea this time.

"But genderbended!" Hachiko put in, to explain the sudden reversal of sexes.

"Wait.., if we're a Josei*, what does the make you?" The alternate Goumei questioned, grinning at them.

"Well, I think we're supposed to be a Seinen*, but personally, I think that we border on Hentai* at times. That's why I avoid bikinis." Goumei shrugged, smiling suggestively to convey her meaning.

"Awe, too bad." Gojyo said, his smile a match to Goumei's.

"Not that you need swimsuits seeing as you can't swim." Goku muttered petulantly.

"Shut it Goku." Goumei shot back, glaring at the girl, a silent threat for if she continued.

"See! See! I told you there was another Sanzo and Goku earlier." the other monkey said, bouncing in excitement. "Told ya!"

"Wait... Another? You mean your name's Goku too?" Goku asked, mixed between wonder and horror.

"Yeah! I'm Son Goku." The double replied proudly.

"W-weird." Goku wasn't sure how comfortable she was with that idea. It was like her reflection had up and gotten out of the mirror, but it wasn't her, or her reflection.

'Wait a moment...' "What's your full name?" Goumei asked, a theory forming in her mind.

"Sha Gojyo." Gojyo replied with a smile.

"Sha Goumei." Goumei said, pointing to herself. That was... something to think about. She didn't think she could grasp it all right now.

"Cho?" the guy with the pink sash sounded hesitant. He somehow managed to pull it off.

Hachiko nodded. So they did share names. It must've only been coincidence that they hadn't noticed earlier.

"Then, that only leaves Genjo Sanzo—" Hakkai started, looking to the only unnamed party member left.

"...and Genzou Sanzo," Hachiko answered, introducing their priest, eyes fixed on the double.

"Whoa! Sanzo's name is still the same!" The male Goku smiled, obviously excited.

"It's Genzou, you idiot." Sanzo barked, enunciating the difference in the names.

"Wait a second!" The other 'Hachiko', started. It sounded like it was important.

"Don't touch each other. It might cause a reaction between the two universes." Hachiko picked up, her brain already on track with Hakkai.

Goumei held up her hand. "Too late, I already did." she said, thinking of her hand that had brushed against Gojyo.

"You slut!" Goku crowed, maybe just a little too happy to be teasing Goumei.

Goumei grabbed hold of Goku's cheeks, pinching and pulling them. "Not like that, you stupid monkey with a perverse brain!" she screeched.

Goku's response wasn't understandable through the torture being done to her face.

"What was that? I couldn't understand you." she gloated evilly.

The waitress came back into the room with the other half of the Sanzo Party's orders and noticed the stand still that was winding down. She also noticed that there was coke and soy sauce stains on the white table clothes. "Ahhh! My dad is so going to kill me!" she shrieked. "Ah, uh, c-could I ask you guys to sit at other tables. I've got to get these bleached before he sees them," she said walking over to the (male Sanzo Party's) table and tugging lightly on the sheets. "I'm so sorry, but...But—."
