[A/N: Again, this has been one heck of a journey, and there are times when I commented on how I thought the timeline was off, but since I went on a hiatus for so long due to a writer’s block, I can’t recall why I felt that way. Please, enjoy the final chapter. ~K.]

Though nowhere in sight, the faint smell of Naneko’s skin still fragranced the air. The hazy image of decaying ruins danced along the horizon of the desert; gradually coming into focus the closer he got. A line of tall palm trees bordered the far edge of the darkened city. An oasis? The lush greenery seemed to compliment the harsh city which seemed to be severely destroyed.
Seiten Taisei cautiously strode past the city’s entrance, preparing for anything that may attempt to ambush him. Homes and buildings were dilapidated at best, nothing but decayed framing struggling to maintain shape at worst.
Once he surveyed the area, confident there was not even so much as desert life crawling through the area, Seiten Taisei swiftly made his way to the back of the city towards the oasis.
Hakkai drove Hakuryuu as far into the city as he could before fallen boards and debris blocked the path. Once the vehicle stopped, all three men immediately jumped out from the Jeep. Hakkai gave a small wave to Hakuryuu as a non-verbal thank you before the dragon squee’d from the hood.
The uneven footing made it difficult to traverse through the city without losing one’s balance. Hakkai looked around, curious as to what happened in this space. It seemed vaguely familiar but he couldn’t put his finger on it.
Sanzo and Gojyo seemed unaffected by the surroundings as they both continued on after The Great Sage. Shaking the curiosity, Hakkai pushed forward.
The edge of the city seemed to blend right into the oasis. The thick grass gradually slowed Seiten Taisei. The further he broke through the grass and low-hanging vines, the thicker the grass felt at his feet; almost as it it was trying to trip him up.
Rustling from his left showed the vegetation opening up to him and creating a path. Was this the way to the succubus? Seiten Taisei sharply pulled his feet from the grass blades trying to ensnare him and he dashed down the open pathway.
As he glided down the path, the ground suddenly gave way. Seiten Taisei used the momentum of the sudden change in direction to push himself off the sides of the pit, climbing out before continuing towards his destination.
While it seemed like everything was going easy in the direction the oasis was leading him to, at almost every turn there was something trying to ambush Seiten Taisei. Vines would reach out, trying to entangle themselves around whatever they could grab, scratching at exposed flesh. The oasis was definitely alive as it tried every combination from branches and vines reaching out to him all the way down to the ground caving in.
Seiten Taisei took a sharp turn off the path, tearing through the vines and pushing his way past the trees leaning in his way. He had caught on to the fact that the oasis was intentionally trying to lead him away from Naneko. Evidence of her scent becoming stronger as he separated himself from the path proving his point.
The Sanzo party made their way to the back of the deteriorating city and the oasis opened itself wide to the three men, almost welcoming them. Sanzo slitted his eyes, suspicious of their situation. Still, he followed after Hakkai and Gojyo as they easily ran down the trail, the trees leaning back and out of their way so as not to block the path.
The sound of branches cracking and snapping echoed through the air accompanied by the irritated growls and barks of the Great Sage. They were getting close.
“Goku,” Hakkai shouted.
Some tall grass bundles violently swayed as Seiten Taisei continued to struggle to free himself in the oddly thick oasis. The vines soon wrapped themselves around his entire body and he found himself suddenly unable to move his feet. Seiten Taisei’s hands were bound, the vines weaving themselves through his fingers before engulfing his hands; completely incapacitating him from attempting to use chi blasts on the lush greenery.
The vines were strong, yet soft and pliable enough to withstand his strength when attempting to twist himself free. How, within 24 hours, had he managed to encounter something else that prevented him from fighting at full strength? Seiten Taisei’s heart raced as a sliver of panic began to set in, the sound of his pulse throbbed in his temples as he continued to violently struggled against the restraints.
Two gunshots rang through the air. Seiten Taisei whipped his head towards the direction of the noise. There, in a small open area, stood the three members of Goku’s group. Sanzo stood between Gojyo and Hakkai, bringing one arm down and holstering his gun within the sleeve of his priest robes before pulling out the coronet.
Seiten Taisei became enraged at the sight. The vines weren’t taught enough for him to snap, and while he wasn’t able to summon any chi blasts, the elasticity of the vines had enough give for him to lash out should the priest even attempt to get close.
Seeing that Seiten Taisei wasn’t going to cooperate any further, Sanzo had had enough of this headache. He knew it wasn’t easy to create a fresh coronet, and the Merciful Goddess wasn’t exactly a fan of more than one of the specially made power limiters being available on Earth. Sanzo had no other choice on putting an end to this situation without any severe casualties.
Inhaling deeply, Sanzo handed the power limiter to Hakkai and meticulously folded his fingers together before lowering his head and muttering the beginnings of the Makai Tenjou chant under his breath to materialize a new coronet.
“Sanzo?’
Hakkai questioned why Sanzo would risk the start of the sutra instead of trying to place the coronet on Goku. Hakkai firmed his grip around the coronet and ran over to Seiten Taisei; who didn’t waste any time lashing out within his bindings. The Great Sage thrashed his head about, not allowing Hakkai to get any leverage with the damn coronet.
As Hakkai struggled to cradle the Great Beast’s head in one hand, he managed to get the coronet to sit on the crown of Seiten Taisei’s head. Feeling the cool material, Seiten Taisei screamed out and latched his fangs deep into Hakkai’s forearm.
“Hakkai,” shouted Gojyo.
Hakkai’s scream ripped through the air. He dropped the coronet before slumping over in pain, placing his hand on Seiten Taisei’s shoulder for support. Pinning him in place with his fangs, Seiten Taisei kneed Hakkai in the solar plexus. Hakkai choked before loosening his grip once more, knowing that his wound from earlier in the week had been re-opened. Seiten Taisei released Hakkai and watched him slump to the ground in pain.
Gojyo cried out to his companion again and raced to his side, hooking one of Hakkai’s arms around his shoulder before pulling him from the Wild Beast’s reach. Hakkai gripped at his abdomen, feeling that he had begun bleeding internally all over again. Still chanting, Sanzo slowly approached Seiten Taisei.
“Did Naneko do all this,” Gojyo asked, “Is she crazy?”
Hakkai winced at the comment, “I think she knew exactly what she was doing. Perhaps she just wasn’t sure how to contain the situation afterwards.”
Sanzo stopped mere feet from Seiten Taisei who was still struggling against his bindings. When Sanzo lifted his head, the intensity and focus in his eyes paralyzed the Great Beast. The aura emitting from the monk was overwhelming, yet calming at the same time. Seiten Taisei had the strongest desire to engage in combat with the Sanzo priest, but that would tarnish the feeling of the atmosphere.
At the edge of his peripheral, low-hanging branches and vines framed Naneko’s face as she watched the scene unfold in front of her. Seiten Taisei’s eyes widened, how long had she been standing there? The succubus mouthed the words ‘thank you for the wonderful evening’ before blowing him one last kiss.
As Seiten Taisei stood still with mouth agape, he didn’t feel the Sanzo reach out his hand and place it on his brow. Before having the chance to react, a bright light emitted from between Sanzo’s hand and Seiten Taisei’s forehead.
Seiten Taisei choked and gasped for air as the outline of a fresh coronet began to form, feeling himself regress back to his calmer half. He fruitlessly fought against the restraint before his vision of Naneko faded to white, his consciousness slipping.
Goku’s hair formed back to its short style, his fangs retracting and his eyes becoming round and innocent once more. Once the coronet solidified, Sanzo withdrew his hand and Goku slumped over, the vines providing a gentle cushion as he leaned forward.
“Until we meet again, Goku, I bid you adieu,” Naneko said to herself as she retreated back into the oasis.
In their haste to stop Seiten Taisei, everyone had completely forgotten to grab clothes for him. Sanzo turned to Gojyo and nodded his head at him.
“Gojyo, strip.”
“What?!”
“Like you really care. Just shut up and give him your shirt,” Sanzo retorted back,
Gojyo glared at him, “Asshole. You really get off on telling people what to do, don’t you?”
“Quit your whining and do it. It’s not like you don’t have any more back at the house.”
While true, Gojyo didn’t like how Sanzo casually lit a cigarette after the comment. With a huff, Gojyo helped lay Hakkai down so as not to aggravate what was surely another internal injury.
As he walked over to Goku, the vegetation shuffled around once more, vines untangling themselves from the limp body and giving Gojyo access to dress him.
After dressing the smaller frame in his large shirt, the vines loosened altogether and dropped Goku into Gojyo’s chest. Gojyo caught the damn monkey before he fell to the ground. Sanzo made his way over to Gojyo and scooped up Goku in his arms. Gojyo walked back over to Hakkai and carefully brought him to his feet as another path opened to the Sanzo party, straight back to the decayed city.
“Let’s get out of here before this place changes its mind on how it feels about our presence here,” Sanzo stated as he calmly walked down the path. Gojyo and Hakkai trailed behind him with cautious steps.
The further they walked down the trail, Gojyo didn’t notice the pond that came into focus. He took a step in the soft soil along the waterline, sinking in and tripping up his balance before he quickly recovered.
“Can we move a little faster? The last thing I need is some water demon swallowing me whole,” Gojyo complained.
As their voices trailed off, the ripples within the pool of water a silhouette of a small frame came into focus. Hair trailed long past the shoulders of the figure, the glow of a single red eye shone brightly before the image dissipated into the water.

[A/N: Again, thank you so much for following this exhaustingly long journey.
I do have more Gensomaden Saiyuki stories and I do hope you look forward to them if you are interested. Again, they won’t be as intense as Naneko and probably more fluff than anything else, but the muse may kick in and inspire me to write something not so fluff. This story does segue into my next OC, if it wasn’t obvious. Haha.
Feel free to leave a review if you’re so inclined. No pressure. No more edits will be done to this series, but constructive criticism is always welcome. ~K]
