Yeah... what was that quote? Put yourself in somebody else's shoes? Yeah Hakkai had a idea, and we didn't exactly like it but it was better then sleeping outside in the jeep and eating a can of beans for dinner. Merciful goddess... I bet ten bucks that she was up there laughing her ass off... YEAH LAUGH IT UP YA OLD HAG!! Oh crap I sounded like Sanzo there didn't I? I was looking at the mirror at my appearance... like me the other girls had been brought to change their looks as well. 'Well... I don't look to bad... I like the hat' I thought silently while gazing into the mirror. The amazing plan was... if you weren't girls then we shall go and make you look like boys... That's right, we were wearing guy clothes... I now wore a long sleeve button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to my elbows, a pair of light blue jean shorts that were ripped a bit at the knee, and my normal black boots. My black hair had been put up in a high bun and I had a black beanie hat on my head, a few strands of hair hanging in my face. I laughed a bit and looked at the others, they were looking at their clothing as well... the guys had given us some of their spare clothes, couldn't they have given us some better clothes? Well I guess we couldn't exactly complain... it was the only way. Kimiko now wore a long loose blue long sleeve button up shirt and some brown slacks, she wore a extra pair of Hakkai's shoes on her feet. She had her hair was up in a high bun and a black gatsby hat... god that was a cool hat... Lynto wore tan down to the knee shorts, a white short sleeve shirt, and some brown boots. Her brown hair was up like ours and wore a brown fedora hat, it was a cool hat too... all gangster but I liked my hat better. Now if you are wondering about what we did about our girl parts... yeah we didn't know what to do either until Kimiko accidently spilled the first aid kit and a bunch of bandages fell out. We tightly wrapped bandages around our chests to hide our girl features and actually look like guys... yeah it wasn't comfy but we beared with it.. We actually did look like guys which, we were creative when we were hungry and sleepy. Kimiko had found a bunch of old itchy sweaters buried deep into her bag and cut off a few hairs that hanged off, she then placed the hairs on our upper lips and the bottom of our chins... Yeah I shall now call her 'creative girl'! We looked at each other and then at the guys with a crooked smile, yeah this would have to do. After we got out things out we started to make our way toward the temple, two boys were in front of the entrance gates sweeping. They wore a white short robe with no sleeves and it went up to their knees, they were also bald... 'Such bald heads that shine in the light...' They looked up from the leaves that they were sweeping and then ran into the temple. Uh... what were they doing? Instead of the boys coming back out another guy came out, he looked like a monk or a priest or something. He silently stared at us from a distance... well somebody better say something... he's freaking me out...

"Excuse me! We are travelers and we need a place to stay for tonight"! called Hakkai to the guy.

"This temple isn't a inn, these are sacred grounds. Peons are not welcome in these temple halls" he stated with a smug tone.

Gojyo scoffed, "This is the reason why I fucken hate priests".

Goku's stomach made a loud rumble and then he groaned, "But I'm gonna die from hunger! Sanzo talk to em' come on I'm hungry"!

The monk quickly took a few steps back, his mouth agape and eyes wide. "S-sanzo.. your Genjyo S-sanzo"? 'Yep... bingo buddy, damn you couldn't tell'? "Sorry for being rude! I can't believe it! The Genjyo Sanzo, come right in come right in" the monk said while opening the gates wide. Sanzo then walked toward the temple and then inside, and we silently followed him. 'What a bunch of idiots... I would never in a million years bow down to that bald droopy eyed monk' I thought while seeing two rows of bald monks sitting on there legs and bowing down to Sanzo. A fat bald monk walked up to Sanzo and bowed to him.

"Sanzo we are honored to have you at our humble small temple" he said.

Sanzo silently nodded a bit and the monk glanced at us three and the others, had he figured us out? Had he seen right through our plan? He then made a face and looked at Sanzo, "Don't get me wrong we are glad for you to be here Sanzo but...".

"But what"? asked Sanzo in a icy cold tone.

"This is a holy temple and they don't look like they aren't followers of Budda and those six are pretty scrappy looking" he said. I huffed and folded my arms across my chest, 'I want to slap this bitch... we are not that scrappy lookin' if I do say so myself'

"What so the stikin' monk gets to stay and we have to leave, what a load of bull shit" mumbled Gojyo, we all agreed with him well except for Sanzo. Kim, Lyn, and I looked pissed off as hell.. Goku and Gojyo weren't to happy either... Sanzo was always calm... and Hakkai was nice as ever and didn't say anything bad.

"Now Gojyo, its just their way.. and we have to respect that" said Hakkai who tried to calm him down..

"Feh... baldy can kiss our ass" muttered Lyn, Kim, and I in a hushed voice.

The monk didn't hear our insult and kept looking at Sanzo, "Are these men your companions, priest Genjyo Sanzo" he asked. 'Hey I am not a d-... oh wait... I forgot... I sorta do look like a guy at the moment.'

"Companions? No... they're my slaves" said Sanzo. 'Only Sanzo would say that..'... Gojyo, Goku, and Hakkai had to hold all of us back as we tried to claw Sanzo's face off. "Ah yes of course... well we have prepared our best room for all of you" said the monk. Lynto, Kimiko, and I stopped trying to get past Hakkai and froze with our eyes wide. 'Wait... did he say the same room'!? The three of us looked at each other... what trouble have we gotten into?...

Kimiko, Lynto, and I sat in the bedroom silently with the guys... trying to figure out a way to stay in the same room without any problems... Our beds were now moved far away from the guys and we divided the room in half so we wouldn't have any fights. The monks have been treating us like shit and Sanzo like a king!! The feast they prepared for us had some curry and only a bit of meatbuns... While the all holy Sanzo got spring rolls, noodles, rice, curry, dumplings, and sesame chicken.. Isn't that a little fucked up? Sanzo's slaves were fed better than this when we weren't in a dumb temple. Also when I went looking around the temple I went and saw that big old golden budda statue. A bunch of monks had caught me and they went swinging some brooms at me like some dang stray cat! I was just looking at it... didn't have to get all moody... I sighed and closed my eyes while taking off my beanie hat, my hair that was up in a bun all messy. The room was nice though... had a great view of the courtyard form the window and a lot of space for luggage and beds. Kimiko, Lynto, and I were watching the guys as they played a game... They had set up a table and was now playing poker, empty cans of beer sat on the table with cigarettes sticking out of them... a make-shift ashtray. I watched as Hakkai won another time and Goku whine about how hungry he was.

"I never knew Hakkai was so good at poker" Said Kimiko while watching on the edge of her seat and blinking. I laughed a bit and nodded in reply, "Yeah he wins at everything... he's his own luck charm" I stated. She smiled and nodded. All three of us had tooken off our hats and set them on the bed. The door slowly creaked open. The three of us gasped and then grabbed onto a hat and placing it on our heads, we hadn't tooken our own hats... I now wore the fedora, Kim wore my beanie hat, and Lyn wore Kim's Gatsby. Two small boys walked into the room smiling with trays of tea, when they opened their eyes the tea trays crashed to the floor.

"Wha-what are you doing with tobacco and alcohol, its forbidden"! they shouted loudly. In a flash the guy that we met outside the temple was standing right next to the two boys. Gojyo sneakily grabbed one make-shift ashtray and hid it behind his back, the girls and I whistled and looked around the room like we had no idea what was going on. I heard a 'oh crap not again' escape Goku's lips, and Hakkai just waited for what they had to say. Sanzo continued to play poker like he didn't even hear them enter the room.

"S-sanzo this is... this is all their fault"! said the priest as he pointed to six of us excluding Sanzo. The six of us as if on cue, pointed a finger to their chests. "Us"? we asked.

"I am terribly sorry priest Sanzo but this just can't be done, these unholy foul low-class p-" before he said another word Sanzo turned his head and gave a icy cold death glare that could turn your bones into ice. The man shuddered and then Sanzo said "Don't blame them.. I also have broken a rule". Sanzo pointed to the beer can next to him and the cigarette in his hand.

"S-sorry priest Sanzo..." the monk said.. What he was going to let it slide when Sanzo did it but not us?! "Is there anything else that you will be needing this evening"? he asked. Sanzo shook his head no and then the three temple monks backed out of the door and then shut it.. 'What a load of bull... I hope we never come back to a temple ever again' I thought...

Ash, Kim, Lyn, Gojyo, Hakkai, and Goku:You know what?...

Sanzo:-Looks up from newspaper-And your whiney ass opinon would be?

All of them except Sanzo:THIS SUCKS DONKEY BALLS!!

Sanzo:Deal with it...

Gojyo and Goku:I'm gonna kill em'! -Being held back by Hakkai-

Hakkai:-Laughs nervously-Aha.. now now you too remember what I told you.. its their way and we have to respect that... I don't like it either but we just have to deal with it until we leave..

Ash:Well yeah but you aren't in costumes!

Lyn:Those monks can kiss my tan ass!

Kim:Damn straight... I wouldn't mind kicking them in the face.

Goku:I'm hungry!!

Gojyo:Ashurri doesn't own Saiyuki or its characters, they belong to Kazuya Minekura. Ash, Lyn, and Kim are real.
