"Hey, Sanzo. Are we there yet? I'm so hungry I can't walk another step!" Goku whined as he walked down the path.

'And yet you have enough energy to whine.' Sanzo thought as she tried to ignore him. She was 23 years old, and was a very lovely woman. However... For as long as she could remember, she's been disguising herself as a man. She was able to do this very well, since she only raised around boys as a boy when she was young since girls weren't allowed in temples. It was very easy to hide the fact that she was a girl. All she had to do was keep her hair short, manipulate her voice to sound like a mans, and wear heavy man clothes, which was one of the many reasons she wore the priest robes all the time. Here chest, however, was sort of a problem. Her breasts weren't big, but they weren't small ether so she had to bind them really tight with bandages, so her chest was always tight, which is one of the reasons she's so irritated.

"Sanzo! I saaid— OW!"Goku whined. Suddenly Sanzo whacked him with her fan.

"If you don't shut up, I'll kill you!" she growled. No one, not even Goku, who had lived with her for 6 years, knew she was a girl. "sigh Sh!t... Even if I killed you two, you wouldn't stay dead." she sighed as she rubbed the back of her head.

"Well, yeah. That's 'cuz I'm rechargeable." said Goku as he sat on a tree stump.

"That's nothing to brag about." she growled as she rubbed her head hard.

'Look at it this way, if he did die, you would have to carry the luggage.' she told herself.

"If you'd had Hakkai give us a lift in his Jeep, we'd already be there by--" started Goku.

"Shut up! We're almost there. Now walk, you stupid monkey!" Sanzo growled as she kicked Goku. Why did he always have to be so annoying?

"Why are we in such a hurry to meet Hakkai and Gojyo anyway?" asked Goku as he rubbed the back of his head. Sanzo was quiet at first, the replied,

"There's something I need to make sure of..."

"Huh?" said Goku.

//Flash Back to five days earlier//

"Priest Sanzo of the Northen Lands, Genjyo Sanzo. I have arrived." said Sanzo as she kneeled in front of the three Sanbutions.

"Welcome Genjyo Sanzo. Forgive the sudden call. There is a matter we must discuss." said the male head.

"There is nothing to forgive." said Sanzo.

"You are likely aware of the disaster that erodes this world. From west to east, a poison spreads across this land. The glory of Shangri-La is tainted." the male head continued.

"You speak of the sudden violence of the Youkai... And their loss of self." said Sanzo. "Humans now pass their days with a fear of Youkai that is close to death. Shangri-La has become a paradise in name only. It is a picture of hell. What on earth could be the cause of this?" she asked. The head then asked,

"You are familiar with... The legend of Gyumaoh?"

"Gyumaoh, the great Youkai sealed within Houtou castle by the war god, Crown Prince Nataku, 500 years ago. Gyumaoh, the Ox King. They say he refused to live with the humans and instead devoured their flesh." replied Sanzo.

"Someone is trying to revive Gyumaoh. And to do so, they are utilizing the forbidden practice... Of combining science with Youjutsu– Demon magic."

//Flash back interruption//

"'Forbidden'? How come?" asked Goku.

"Because no one knows what will happen." answered Sanzo.

//Continue flash back//

"The science of men and the magic of Youkai are not to be mixed... Just as the physical union of humans and Youkai is forbidden. To do so would create a wave of minus wave energy that would destroy the balance of the universe." The male Head continued. "Genjyo Sanzo, we appoint you. Travel with past associates Goku, Gojyo, Hakkai, and the one who holds your soul, Kaijin, to India in the west. Stop the resurrection of Gyumaoh... To restore sanity to the Yokai. Restore Shangri-La to it's rightful harmony."

"As you command." said Sanzo.

//End flash back//

"Um... So... We just need to go there and ask them to stop the experiment, right? Piece of cake!" said Goku. Sanzo sighed as she put a hand to her fore head.

"Look, you... Hopeless..." she sighed.

'Why am I traveling with him again?' she wondered.

"You worry too much!" said Goku. "So... Whaddya need to check with Gojyo and Hakkai?" he asked.

"That's--" started Sanzo. Suddenly they both heard a rustle in the trees and a bunch of demons jumped out of the trees.

"Nyoi-bo!!" Goku yelled as he summoned his weapon. He blocked a demon that was coming down on him. Then he whacked away the demon. A demon attacked Sanzo, but she dodged and reappear behind the demon.

"Too slow." said Sanzo as she punched the demon out. Then she realized that they were all surrounded by demons.

"Shit!" she cursed under her breath.

"N...No way. Are they all...?!" Goku trailed off as they came back to back with each other.

"Youkai that crossed over to Gyumaoh." finished Sanzo.

"Hu...mans..." said one of the demons attacking them. Goku backed up a bit more into Sanzo.

"They're eyes... They're empty!" he said.

"Eat them!"

"EAT THEM!" the demons around you guys chanted. Suddenly all the demons around them became sliced up. Sanzo and Goku whipped around.

"So I finally get to see it firsthand... Now I know what's happening to this world... and why we have to be the ones to take care of it." said a voice. They looked up and saw a brunette with green eyes, and a man with red hair and red eyes.

"Well, it isn't my favorite hot-blooded monk and his stupid monkey sidekick." grinned Gojyo.

"Gojyo! Hakkai!" yelled Goku happily.

"Long time, no see." said Hakkai. They jumped down and Goku and Gojyo immediately began to argue.

"Don't call me stupid, you prevy Kappa!" yelled Goku.

"Then how about Midget Monkey? Chibi chimp?!" Gojyo yelled back. Hakkai laughed.

"Now, now." he said. Sanzo just sweat dropped as she put a hand to his head. Then she asked Hakkai,

"How did you know where we were?"

"It wasn't hard. Whatever's corrupted the demons creates an aura that's easy for me to track." said Hakkai. She and Hakkai got along really well, and knew each other for three years, but he didn't know she was a girl. "At any rate... It seems like now the only Youkai in Shangri-La who are still themselves... are Gojyo, Goku, and myself." he continued.

"Surprise attack!" a Yokai yelled as he ran at Gojyo. Gojyo just smirked as he caught the demon's head, then crushed it in his bear hand.

"Idiot. I'm two hundred million year ahead of you. Oh, wait... You can't hear me anymore, can you?" he said as he shook his hand.

Then the demons charged at Hakkai.

"This one looks weak! Let's get 'im!! Even if it is a bit low." they yelled.

"It's dangerous here, little one." Hakkai said to Jeep who flew in the air. The Hakkai flipped high into the air, over the surprised demons. Then he summoned a chi ball and blasted the demons and blew them up.

"I saw that move somewhere and thought I'd try it out. Works pretty well, doesn't it?" said Hakkai happily. Goku sweat dropped.

"Don't tell me you've never tried that before..." he said. Then the demons suddenly noticed the limiters Goku and Hakkai wore.

"Those are Yokai limiters!" yell one demon.

"You three are Yokai?!" exclaimed another. "Why... Why do you fight against us?"

"Wait just a minute and I'll tell you." said Goku. Then he, Hakkai, and Gojyo jumped in the air, weapons beared. "If you're still alive to hear!"

As Sanzo watched them, she remembered the rest of her meeting with the Sanbutsushin.

//Sanzo's Flash Back in her POV//

"Sanbushin, my lords." I said as I looked up at the three aspects. "I have one question. Why have you appointed three yokai for this mission?"

"Those three are Yokai... and yet they are also human. Their humanity protects them from the effects of the Minus Wave. The three of them are unique in this. You've seen everything, Sanzo– you should know this well." answered the middle aspect. "It's ironic. The scars from they're pasts... will be the spiders thread that binds you all together. They posses the power necessary to combat demons and the will to withstand the negative energy. They are our last hope."

"I acknowledge their strength... But as long as they have Yokai blood in their veins... There is the chance that they, too, may turn against us. Relying on them could be suicide, my lords." I said to them.

"Whether that's what you truly believe or not... the truth does not change. We must put our trust in them." said the aspect on the right.

I closed my eyes.

"I hold trust in no one but myself. At times I may have faltered as a Buddhist, but–... After I lost what I could never replace..." I trailed off as I remembered my master and his bloody corpse.

"Sanzo. It is time you trusted the eyes of your heart." said the aspect on the left.

"'Eyes of my heart'...?" I repeated, confused.

"Now, join the others and observe with those eyes." she continued. "See what it is you need now...and what you should believe in."

I looked up at them and closed my eyes again.

"How can I trust something that is broken? You said to trust the eyes of my heart... But even when it was whole it has lead me astray. How can I trust it now? I don't even believe it is there anymore." I told them quietly.

"It has been broken, yes... It is cold, and forgotten, but it is still there. And just because it has been broken and betrayed many times... Does not mean it cannot be fixed. Now go... And decided for yourself what you should and should not believe in." the female aspect told me.

//End Flash back//

"Oh yeah! No contest!" said Gojyo as he and Goku smacked hands. I stared at them.

'...What should I believe in...?' I wondered.

Just then one of the demons grabbed Goku's ankle.

"W-wait... We are brothers. How could you betray your own kind to fight alongside those arrogant humans? You've chosen the wrong side." he said. "Join your brothers and chant along with us– LONG LIVE THE YOKAI NATION!!"

Then Hakkai, Gojyo and Goku stamped his head into the ground.

"He just didn't know when to shut up." said Gojyo.

"We're on the human's side, are we? Ha! Since the day I was born till the day I die... the only side I'm on is my own!" said Goku.

I stared at them all.

'Trust the eyes of my heart, huh?' I thought as I turned towards the west.

"Let's go." I said. "To the West."

//30 minutes Later//

I twitched as I gave a low growl.

"Hey!" I yelled. "This ain't no field trip, dammit!!" Couldn't they take this more seriously?! In the back, Goku and Gojyo were pigging out in the back.

"Awright! Dried squid! My favorite!" cheered Goku as he stuffed his face with squid.

"Check out the stash! The beer, Goku! Get the beer!" said Gojyo. Obviously they were ignoring me.

"Oh? It's not?" said Hakkai. "Well... It kinda looks like one.

Then I realized something.

Now that we were all going to be traveling together, I was going to be spending a lot of time with them. Which meant that it was going to be harder to keep my secret from them! I moaned. This was going to be a nightmare!
