Story[]
Gojyo kissing the kitten
The Sanzo party found a kitten on the forest, when they noticed that Sanzo sneezed too much. Since they cannot take the kitten alone on the forest, they wanted to take it with them, but Sanzo sneezes too much and stated that he hates cat when he looks at their fur. The kitten later approaches Sanzo and expressed its affection to him, revealing Sanzo is very scared to the kitten. The three of the Sanzo party decided to take it with them and named it with various suggestions by the three (such as Fluffy by Goku, Calico by Hakkai and Betty by Gojyo).
For the whole night, Sanzo can't sleep well because of the kitten which keeps on entering in his room while Sanzo keeps on giving it back to the three. Next morning, the three were going for shopping, leaving the cat to him. Despite of his allergies, Sanzo still cares for the kitten. He even boiled milk for it; the kitten even passed the matches to Sanzo. Later, the kitten was almost spilled by the boiling milk, when it jumps to Sanzo, making Sanzo worried. Sanzo even slept with the kitten, when a band of youkai came to attack Sanzo. When the kitten was injured after saving Sanzo, Sanzo was upset and angry, as he killed all the youkais.
The rest of the Sanzo party came back and brought it to the animal hospital, and the kitten was saved. Later, a little kid who is the owner called the kitten, Meimei. The owner thanked the Sanzo party and explained how the kitten got lost. In the end, when Sanzo walked back, the kitten called him then Sanzo smiled.
