A/N: First and foremost I'd like to apologize. It's been a while since I've written anything. Life and drama has really gotten to me. But thanks to PyruxDeltax, I've gotten the mindset to update! Just note that some of my other stories might not get updates and might possibly get taken down. But this one in specifics I'll update due to requests. ;w; Thank you to all who have been bugging me, and keep it up since that's what keeps me going! Now, onto the story!

Note: I have no idea where I was origionally going with this story, so hang in there.

...

The beam of the sun was getting to him, that was all he could remember for the past week. After he had set off from the gang, he had no idea where to go from here. He hadn't really had anything planned. All he knew was that he had to get away.

"Stupid Sanzo..stupid Gojyo..Stupid..well, Hakkai never did anything so I can't really curse him..but..damnit. I'm really losing it, aren't I? Ch.."

Thoughts kept streaming through his mind as he ventured onward. At first they were thoughts of curses for the former gang, but the further he moved..the more he longed for his companions. Goku shook his head, determined to change his mindset. "No! I don't need them! They just used me anyway, why should I care what happens to them in the first place?"

His thoughts broke at the sound of his stomach roaring. His steps stopped as a frown covered his face, a hand covering his abdomen. "I know..just hold in a little longer.."

A sigh escaped his lips as his arm dropped back to his side and he continued walking. He had to find somewhere to rest, otherwise he wasn't sure how long he'd last..

...

Sanzo, Gojyo and Hakkai had reluctantly continued their journey west. Well, reluctantly for the former two. Every time questioned, Sanzo insisted that "he didn't give two shits if the monkey was with them or not." Gojyo and Hakkai just laughed it off, seeing that their priest was obviously put off that Goku had not continued with them. But Hakkai reassured them that they'd find Goku sooner or later.

They were currently located in a small village on the edge of the village, in which Sanzo had decided they would rest for a night. Gojyo and Hakkai had ventured to the bar, leaving Sanzo in the room.

Hakkai was sipping on a drink he had ordered, while Gojyo was flirting with several women. Hakkai chuckled to himself, peering over to Hakuryuu. "Things really haven't changed much, have they?" Hakuryuu happily chirped in response, curling up on the chair he was currently inhabbiting. Hakkai finished off his drink with a content smile on his features.

...

He was sitting in the windowsil, a cigarette lit as he stared at the sunset with a harsh glare. As of late, every little thing seemed to set him off. Being pissed off, that was a normal thing. But not normally to this extreme. He scoffed before he took another puff of his cigarette, watching it burn down inch by inch.

"Your hair..it reminds me of the sun!"

Sanzo's eyes widened in light shock at the rememberance, then immediately narrowed. "Damn that monkey..useless piece of shit.." He grumbled as he put out his cigarette and lit another one in haste.

...

There he lay in the sand, stomach grumbling, and exhausted. He had been walking for several days without food or water and he was reaching his limit. Staring at yet another sunset, a whine escaped his lips as he curled up, content with resting in place for the moment.

That's when he heard cheering in the distance. He immediately shot up in in spot and looked around, spotting a village on the horizon. A grin enveloped his face as he realized there has a haven so close. And so he ran, full of glee at the sight of civilization.

His lungs felt like they were on fire, his throat raw from lack of water and his legs felt like they would break any second. Upon arrival, he collapased, his eyes clenched shut in preperation of meeting the ground. He was surprised when that didn't happen, but instead met with a pair of strong arms. After a moment, his eyes opened to a familiar face. "Long time, no see..stupid monkey."

"Gojyo! What the hell-" And that's where his stomach decided to interrupt him, causing a light blush to cover his face as he glared at the source of the sound, causing the other to laugh. "Sh-shut up, you stupid water sprite!" Goku retorted as he stood on his own, crossing his arms.

"How about we get you some food, huh?" Gojyo offered, a grin planted on his face.

Goku nearly protested until his stomach growled once more.

a/n: Welp. I dun did it. Although I still don't know where to go from here. If you have any ideas let me know. Sorry it's so short, but it's something :'D
