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? I do own Tsuki though!
Summary: Sanzo's secret has finally been revealed! Now that the boys all know Sanzo's a girl, emotions are going haywire! And with Sanzo's death closely approaching, what is she to do? And who are these strange gods that keep appearing? And who of the boys will win Sanzo's heart?
Cheeky Half Demon- Thanks! I wrote it myself!
UpperClassK9- Tsuki accidently sliced her at the same moment Susanowa tried to stab him. She took the blow from Susanowa, protecting Tsuki, but by doing that, she also took Tsuki's attack too.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Sanzo quickly side stepped the sword that came at her, then ducked it when Bai turned. Bai was extremely quick, her speed was like none Sanzo had ever seen! She let out a hiss of pain as Bai cut her arm.
'Fuck it all to hell, where in the seven hells is my gun? Oh, right. That psycho drummer destroyed it.' she thought as she stumbled into the pond. She chanted a priest spell, which made the water rise and attack Bai. But Bai waved her hand and created a shield which blocked her attack. She then raised her sword towards the sky and chanted a spell. The clouds gave a loud clash before sending a lighting bolt into the pond, sending a ferocious shock through Sanzo's body. Sanzo let out a loud cry of pain and almost collapsed, but thanks to her stubborn pride she managed to stay standing and even managed to duck as Bai once again attacked with the sword. This time she managed to grab Bai's arm though and make her throw the sword into a tree. Bai then flipped Sanzo into the center of the lake. Sanzo tried to swim towards the surface, but Bai had dive after her and was now attack her with what Sanzo recognized to be snake style. Sanzo did her best to fight and dodge, but with her lungs feeling like they were going to explode and Bai pulling her down every time she neared the surface, she found it very difficult.
'Damn it all to hell!!' she cursed.
//With Tsuki//
After his talk with Goku, Tsuki felt slightly depressed.
"You're too nice for your own good." Susanowa said as he jumped down from a tree. Tsuki grinned.
"You know, I think you're right. But I was born a idiot." he said.
"You gonna be okay?" Susanowa asked.
"Eventually." he said. "Who knows? Maybe after I catch up on my work, I'll be able to find a new love. Someday." Susanowa smiled.
"I'm sure you will." he said. "If I can find a love, surely you can. And who knows? Maybe you'll be able to marry her this time."
"Yeah, maybe. Wait. You gotta love? Seriously?"
"Yes. My wife. I also have two daughters."
"Eh?! What?! I'm a uncle?! Oh, man! I feel like I'm in a seriously too long, confusing, soap operay fanfic written by a girl who's lonely, depressed, and is as lazy as a sloth!" (GWNL: Oh, no he didn't just call me a sloth! *grabs giant Mario hammer* It's on now! *jumps into story*
HuntedByTrees: Can you even do that?! Um... Hi! I'm HBT, GWNL's only friend. Since GWNL has entered the story I will be writing it for now.)
"Oh, Tsuki! Would come here?" GirlWithNoLife sang as she approached Tsuki.
"Ah, crap! She's entered the story! Run!" Tsuki cried as he just managed to dodge her hammer.
"Come back here!!" GirlWithNoLife yelled as she chased after him. Susanowa stared after them with wide, confused eyes.
"What the hell?"
//With Goku//
After leaving Tsuki, Goku flew towards the west like he had told him too. As he flew he thought about his life after Konzen had defied heaven. Amaterasu had taught him 72 magic tricks since she had sun magic like him and Tenpou and Kenren had taught him to fight. They all had a rough time and had wanted to go to his birth place in hopes of making their magic stronger, but thanks to Susanowa, they never made it there. His eyes sadden. He never realized that his memories could be so painful. They really hurt, but you know... he could live with them now.
After flying for a bit he finally spotted Hakkai and Gojyo driving in Jeep.
"Hakkai! Gojyo!" he yelled.
"Did you hear that, Gojyo?" Hakkai asked.
"Yeah, it sounded like the monkey..." Gojyo said. Goku made his cloud disappear and he safely landed in Jeep.
"Who're you callin' a monkey, you pervy kappa?" he smirked.
"WHOA!! It's rainin' monkeys!" Gojyo exclaimed in surprise. Hakkai was so startled, he almost drove into a tree.
"Whoa! Careful, Hakkai!" Goku cried as he clung to the back seat. Jeep stopped, and Hakkai and Gojyo turned to look at him.
"Where the hell did you come from?!" Gojyo asked.
"Gojyo, don't be rude. Goku, we thought you were training with Tsuki." Hakkai said, just as shaken.
"I was, I did. Then when I had learned what I needed to know, I started west. Then I saw you guys and dropped in." Goku said as he leaned back. Gojyo narrowed his eyes.
"Hey, what's with you? You don't look so monkeyish anymore."
"I must say, I agree with Gojyo. Did something happen when you were with Tsuki?" At this Goku gave a sad smile that actually made him look like an adult.
"Hm. Y'know... A lot of things happened and a lot didn't happen. But then again... It was his choice to make and he made it. Even though he knew it would hurt him." Then he looked up with determined eyes. "Now I've got a choice too. And I decided that we need to find Sanzo. We are on a mission after all and for that we need our leader." Now Gojyo and Hakkai were staring at him with wide eyes. Hakkai smiled in a motherly fashion as Gojyo put Goku in a headlock.
"What's this? Our little monkey's talkin' like a man!" he grinned.
"Indeed! Perhaps we should send you to train with Tsuki." Hakkai laughed.
"Hey! What exactly is that suppose to mean?"
"C'mon, guys!" Goku chuckled as he pulled away from Gojyo. "Let's go already! We've got things to do!"
//With Sanzo//
Sanzo chanted another water spell, this time using it to push Bai away so she could swim for the surface. When she broke through she took a grateful gulp of air and then quickly began to swim for land. She didn't need anyone to tell her that Bai had the advantage in the water. She managed to make it to land, but Bai didn't give her any chance to recover, for when she emerged, she made a giant tidal wave which threw Sanzo into a tree.
"You're not half bad. You're actually catching on very quickly," Bai said as she walked towards her. "Unfotunately for you, I happen to be far stronger than you." Sanzo glared at her as she pulled herself up.
"I'm not done yet, snake." she said. Then she dashed for the tree with the sword in it and yanked it out. Bai smirked.
"Impressive..." she said as the storm swirled around her. "But not impressive enough." Then a giant white light surrounded her and she transformed into a giant white snake. Sanzo twitched.
"This is why I hate immortals... They always cheat!" she yelled as she dodged Bai's tail.
//Meanwhile with Tsuki//
After running for what seemed to be hours Tsuki leaned against a tree, trying to catch his breath.
"Phew!" he sighed. "I lost her!" How very wrong he was though. If there was one thing GirlWithNoLife was good at, it was hiding. And right now she was hiding in the very tree Tsuki was leaning against. With a evil glint of revenge in her eye, she swung down from a branch with battle cry of,
"POW!!"
"YIIIIEEEE!!!" Tsuki cried as went flying off a cliff.
"Get back here! I'm not done yet!" GirlWithNoLife cried as she jumped down after Tsuki. Somehow she managed to transform her hammer into an umbrella and floated down like Mary Poppins. When Tsuki was only a few feet from water, he managed to created a little canoe.
"Ow...! Okay, that hurt. But at least I lost that sloth!" he sighed as he wiped his forehead, not aware that GirlWithNoLife was closely behind.
"Don't count on it!" she yelled as she transformed the umbrella into a surf board.
"Ahh!" Tsuki screamed as he grabbed a paddle and paddled for his dear life.
"You won't get away that way!" she yelled.
"Oh? And what makes you say that?" Tsuki smirked, not bothering to look forward.
"Oh, just the fact you're about to go over a water fall."
"Huh?" Tsuki eyes then became dinner plates. "Oh, no!!" he cried as he went over the water fall. GWNL just safely floated down by shape shifting her board into a balloon.
//With Sanzo//
Sanzo quickly dodged Bai as she attacked with her tail.
'This is no good! I'm going to have to use the Makkai Tennjyo.' she thought as she pulled out her scripture. 'If this doesn't work, I'm history.' She began to do the chant as Bai let out loud hiss and shot her head towards her.
"Mak~kai Tenn~jyo!!" she yelled. The scripture attacked Bai making her freeze for just a moment, but Sanzo took this moment to jump in the air and stab Bai's head with her sword. There was a bright light and then Sanzo saw Bai was back in her human form.
"I'm satisfied,"she said. "You win. I'll send you to the border of India. There... You will find someone very special waiting for you." Then wind then began to whirl around a surprised Sanzo. "I would say, not to do anything foolish. But being foolish is human nature. So I'll just say that I would like a rematch someday." Sanzo stared, the smirked.
"I'll see what I can do." she said before vanishing in the wind.
//With Tsuki//
After swimming to shore, Tsuki had run deep into the jungle where he found a old temple. Making sure GWNL wasn't behind him, he quickly ducked in.
"Aiya... For a lazy sloth, she sure can run fast!" he huffed.
"Cookie?" A cloaked monk asked as it held out a bowl of fortune cookies.
"Huh? Oh, sure!" Tsuki said as he took one. "Hey, wait! Why's a monk givin' out fortune cookies in a place like this?"
"Commercial uses?"
"Good enough for me." Tsuki said as he opened it. Then he read, "'You will be sent flying all the way to India by an angry fanfic writer'. Huh? Wait. That doesn't make sense!"
"Give it a minute!" the monk yelled in GWNL's voice and she jumped on the loose plank Tsuki was standing on and sent him through the roof and through the air.
"Aaahh! Look's like I'm blasting off again!" he cried as he became a star.
"Just wait until this story's over then I'm really gonna get ya!!" GWNL called after him. (HBT: Okay, you got him! Now get back out here before you destroy the slim line between fanfic and reality! GWNL: Okay, okay! *Crawls back into reality* It was more fun in there! HBT: Start writing! GWNL: Okay, Okay! Sheesh!).
Meanwhile, walking in India was Uzume, who was using her power to ruin young lovers, who were just trying to have the perfect date, when she heard a loud scream.
"Huh? I know that scream..." Uzume muttered as she looked up. And it was a good thin she did, too, otherwise she would not have been able to step out of the way of Tsuki, who plowed twelve feet into the ground.
"Ooow....!" Tsuki cried as he crawled out of his whole. "Okay, okay! You're not a sloth, but you are very turtle like!"(GWNL: What was that?! *tries to enter story again* HBT: Oh, no you don't! You've got a story to write! GWNL: Grr.... Fine! But I'm gettin' him later!)
"Tsu...Tsuki?" Uzume breathed.
"Huh?" Tsuki said as he looked up."Aha!! You!!" he said as he pounced on her(oh, that sounds so wrong!).
"Waugh?! WHOA!!" Uzume cried as she hit the ground.
"Okay, Uzu-chan!! Take me to your leader!! I demand it!" Tsuki cried.
"There's no time for that! C'mon! We've gotta stop that traitor before he steals your woman!" Uzume cried, throwing him off.
"What traitor? My woman's dead!"
"Her soul was reincarnated, baka! And now that stupid monkey is trying to steal her away! But if she sees you, she'll fall in love with you all over again!"
"Are you talking about Sanzo? She thinks I'm a girl!"
"What?! Is she blind?"
"No! I've been dressing as a woman!"
"You've what?!"
"We don't have time for this!"
"You've been dressing as a woman? I should have seen this coming when I saw you wearing Konzen's clothes."
"Hey, hey! That was an accident. I was in a hurry after Konzen and I– Wait I don't have to defend myself to you! Look!" Tsuki took a deep breath. "Just take me to Amaterasu, please! I have to talk to her now!" Uzume saw the desperation in his eyes and nodded.
"Alright. I'll take you to her."
//With Goku//
After driving for awhile, the demon boys finally found themselves at the border of India.
"Wow," Gojyo said as he took his first look at India. "We actually made it! I can't believe it!"
"Indeed!" Hakkai laughed. "I honestly thought we would be dead before we made it here." Goku didn't say anything. Sure, they had made it, but what about Sanzo? Where was she? Just as he was thinking this, the wind brushed his shoulder and his gaze turned in the direction of the ocean with wide eyes.
'I wonder...' he thought. Then he jumped out of the jeep and started to run towards the ocean.
"Goku!" Hakkai called after him.
"Oi! Where're you goin' monkey?" Gojyo yelled.
"You go ahead! There's somethin' I have to check out!"
//With Sanzo//
Sanzo when the wind vanished Sanzo found herself on a beach shore.
'Where am I?' she wondered. Then she looked at her entire. 'What am I wearing?' She then realized she was wearing a dark purple shawl that had a light pink edging and she also wore a bunch of golden jewelry. 'I guess pretending I'm a boy here, is out.' She turned her attention to the sea.'Is this the ocean? I've never seen it before.' Then the wind sparkled and something fell into her hands. Looking closely, she saw it was her gun all fixed! 'Huh? How did...?'
"Sanzo!" Immediately recognizing the voice, she turned and saw Goku running towards her.
"Goku..!" Goku then tackled her in a hug, making her fall into the water. "Whoa!! Baka saru! Off, now!"
"No way."
"What?!"
"I'm never letting you go again." Goku said as he held Sanzo tightly. "I didn't know it, but you've always been the most important thing to me. More important than food, even. You taught me how to fight, how to face my fears, how to live... and now how to love." At this Sanzo's eyes widen as her cheeks turned a rosy red. "What I'm trying to say is... I... I love you!!" Sanzo stared.
"I..." she started to say, but just then Gojyo and Hakkai ran up.
"Hey, hey! You two making out?" Gojyo teased, making Sanzo blush even harder.
"As... As if, you dirty, no good, perverted, old man like, kappa!" she yelled as she pushed Goku off.
"Are you callin' me an old man?!"
"Hey, we call them as we see them." Goku smirked. Hakkai just laughed. It seemed their little family was together once more.
//With Tsuki//
Uzume led Tsuki into the jungle and soon, Tsuki saw a familiar sight. Thunder Temple. He used to come here a lot when he was younger, for the simple fact he liked it.
"She is inside." Uzume said as she hopped up the stairs.
"Thanks." Tsuki said as he summoned his wings. Rather than walk up the stairs, he decided it would be easier to fly up.
When he entered the temple and in the center of the room a woman who had long dark brown, almost black, hair, bright glowing gold eyes, and ivory skin.
"Hello... Tsuki-Yomi." she said. Tsuki kept his guard up as she walked up to him. He was reminded of the time Uzume was in that cave and so was weary. He was surprised when she hugged him.
"I knew you would come to me eventually, Tsuki-Yomi," she said. "You always do, after all. But then that's understandable. The moon can never shine without the sun, can it?"
"Ama-chan..." Tsuki started, but he didn't get to finish. Amaterasu grabbed his hand and began to lead him down one of the many halls.
"To reward your undying loyalty to me, I have a surprise for you." she said.
"Um, as happy as I am to see you, there's something I have to...." he never got to finish that sentence. For in that moment he saw... "Konzen...?" Frozen in lavender crystal, looking as if she was asleep. He touched the crystal as his heart felt like crying out.
"Yes, I picked her up while getting my old body back." she said as she wrapped her arms around Tsuki's shoulders.
"But how...?" he asked.
"Your scythe merely separated the soul and the body. When the body was found, it was healed they sealed her." Amaterasu cooed as she gave a sly smile. "She still has the memories sleeping inside of her, so she'll remember you, but...Unfortunately without her soul, she is nothing more than a living corpse as I'm sure you know." Tsuki couldn't help but smile at the irony of all this. Fate... really was cruel. "You know where her soul is. But the question is, will you get it?" Tsuki smiled grimly.
"That's never the question." he said as he summoned his scythe.
'The biggest idiot... always has been and always will be... me.'
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Will Tsuki turn against the Sanzo party? Will he actually kill Sanzo so he can be reunited with Konzen? And will Sanzo ever be able to work up the courage to tell Goku she loves him? Most importantly, is Sanzo's time finally up? Will she die?
All will be revealed in the final chapter.
You know the drill.
