it suddenly dawned on goku "what about gojyo and hakkai! they don't knohat's gog on"

"they'll fd out soon we're outnubered though the best we can do is fight it out with the until those o idiots e back"

there was ore screechg the distance, gled with the screas of huans and the gut wrenchg sounds of libs beg torn off and eaten goku grit his teeth "that's no way to get food it's so grossand those people" he took off at a sprt, sanzo at his side

he regnized one of the as gen, the sergeant which had taken kenren's pce the other's were jt vague faces his ory, blendg with the rest of the celestial ary's anpower "arshal tenpou! what the world are you dog here?"

"i still have yet to figure that one out" tenpou replied, willg his achg cles to ove "what are you dog here? you all have been filed as issg" thirty specters floated about hi, phg and shovg each other to get a look at their arshal it's been so long

gen's expression was grave "surveilnce round"

"i know that"

"ere passg this very ke ere attacked by an ary of snow youkai they seed to have been waitg for an abh"

tenpou rubbed his cheeks they were ickly gettg nub "i uld pot fgers, but the ost ag would have been towards yself i shouldn't have taken kenren taishou-"

"but it was for the best that you did!" gen terrupted "nobody would have survived thisthisdanation!" he sounded nteptuo as he looked down at his ars and feet- transcent nohen the youkai attacked, the ke started to glowit was strange deed it pulsed, got brighter and brighter untilwe all fell unnscio oke up, we found ourselves trapped the bodies of the youkai who attacked "

"a switch!" tenpou's outh fell open "which ans that the youkai are heaven now your bodies"

the sergeant lifted a brow, his ars foldg over his stout for "i wouldn't exactly say now five hundred years have passed after allwho knohat uld have happened already ere hopg that you were able to do sothg about it apparently, you see to be stuck the sa situation"

it seed a waste of ti to exp his own situation it was irrelevant, there were ore iportant atters at hand "how do i get back?"

"now?" asked gen

"now right now this very ont! please tell you figured out a way to do this" he was near beggg

"we did, but it was too te our bodies were already dead too te for , not that we uld have done it while alive as you can see, this ke is a giant irror- a irror to heaven as the locals call it but to be practical, call it a teleportation chanis for souls as long as there are receptacle bodies that can facilitate the hence the need for a 'switch'" the sides of his outh turned down as gen stroked his beard thoughtfully "but to activate it, a great surge of power is necessary do you have that?"

tenpou rebered the irror his hotel roo the earcuffs yes, that's it!

"i thk i do"

"then we can proceed"

i' sorry, kanzeon saa, but a week is too uch for

dait i can't see a thg gojyo cursed loudly to hiself dan hakkai with his dan ideas to go out the iddle of a fuckg stor to go fuckg ghost btg

/"s treatg hi like your little wife hakkai can take care of hiself"/

little wife he spat hakkai a't y wife

"the fuck?!" he shouted before fallg to a ditch of five foot snow "daiiiiiittttttt" gojyo crawled out and with a growl of frtration, whipped out his weapon and sent the surroundg snow to the air

he plowed forward, holdg his ar up agast the d "don't do anythg stupid, hakkai" it sounded cheesy, but aybe if he said it enough, hakkai would hear becae hakkai's sensitive like that and he would never do anythg agast gojyo's will "wait for "

tenpou gazed to ke's water where gen had his n break the ice it sat there, bleak and gray forbiddg its eerie stillness

"i have to" tenpou's outh suddenly went dry his hand idiately went to the earcuff, ctched, unctched let go " there?"

gen nodded severely "then do whatever you need to do to get that power before you're paralyzed to switch the souls of thirty youkai and thirty gods, about fifty of their cn juped to the ke and sacrificed theselves it was apparently enough"

litouten t have bribed the with so isted proise of power, tenpou thought sourly before gazg over the horizon to where the vilge was located nothg ore than bldg whiteness "tell what happens after the switch? i' back ho y study- zy and all but" his eyes switched to his bandaged hand which hid the lifele he wasn't gog to thk about "what happens to this body?"
