The two in the back seat arguing over the slightest of things and started to annoy Sanzo more than the random youkai wanting to kill them. " Shut up you Kappa!" The smaller of the two shouted. " You shut up Monkey!" The crimson haired man retaliated. This was now a routine thing for them and Sanzo should be used to it by now. Its so damn annoying! The blonde thought angrily. " Both of you SHUT UP!" The man shouted but was only to be ignored by his companions. " If you don't shut up right NOW I'm going to Kill you both!" The priest moved swiftly and was soon turned around and facing both of the frightened men. A shot was fired in between the two of them . His eyes narrowed. Hakkai knew this all too well and this was his que to calm things down. The golden eyes widened as did the crimson ." Now ,now Sanzo , Calm down. You two please stop arguing. " The voice was calm and collected as a soft smile etched onto his face. Sanzo already had a headache and they still had a day of traveling ahead. The tension was eased and Gojyo nor Goku dared to open their mouths.
The soft humming of Jeep was the only noise corrupting the air As the four sat in the rare silence. Goku couldn't stand the quiet. The young boy's stomach growled. " I'm hungry!" He couldn't hold it in any longer. The mouth of the man next to him was twisted. Part of it seemed to be a grimace while the other half wanted to smile. " Your always hungry." He stated bluntly. The golden-brown haired boy tried his hardest and ignored Gojyo. " Hey , my butt hurts and my legs are cramping up. Can we stop for a sec?" The taboo child complained. The green eyes glanced over at his friend sitting in the passenger seat. The Buddhist sighed giving into Hakkai 's gaze. " Only for a moment." The voice was light yet stern. The grip on the steering wheel loosened as up as he pulled over. When the vehicle came to a complete halt all of the men stepped out if the jeep. Gojyo moaned as he stretched as Sanzo lit a cigarette. Hakkai took in a deep breath while Goku rubbed his belly. Something caught his attention. Did something just move?….But we're in the dessert….shadow I guess. The monkey king thought. " I'm so hungry I think I'm seeing things!" The smallest one jokingly complained. Then another movement. Now I know there's gotta' be something out there. The wind rose and sand partials blurred his vision before he ran off into the direction of the black object. " Where are you going Monkey?!" , " Goku don't run off to far now!", and " Damn it." were the words that were left behind as he sped off into curiosity.
Only soon enough could he tell it was a human, or at least that's what the shape of it was. He had forgotten he left his staff and mentally kicked himself for that. " Hey!" He took the chance and began to jog after it. " Hey wait!" He finally got close enough to realize it was a girl figure, but from behind he couldn't tell whether or not it was a youkai or not. What would someone be doing all the way out here? He thought and began to mentally prepare for anything and everything. Soon he was walking up to what he assumed was a girl. He was right even though he could hardly see her face. He examined her only for seconds before his personality came out. She had a black jacket with a hood that covered most of her face. Her shirt looked worn and grey with pants that had rips and frays everywhere, they also seemed very warn and dirty. She wore a silver ring with a intricate design that Goku couldn't make out. She doesn't seem harmful. " H-Hey" He stuttered. She didn't look at him, she just kept walking. After a few moments she replied. " Hello." The voice was soft and weak. It wasn't at all harsh like Goku was expecting, it was actually a mix between relaxing and depressing. Hope flared inside him. A wide grin set on his face, " Where ya' going?" He questioned the girl carefully. He waited for her response. " Nowhere." Her voice was distant and blunt as she had the same weak tone. she doesn't look good…maybe she needs food!….what should I do? He internally bickered with himself noticing he was getting father and farther away from Jeep. He knew he would get in trouble for this. But I just can't leave her out here! "Well maybe we can give you a ride to the next village, that's where we are going." He was unsure and took a moment to breath. " And …. it's a days ride it'll take forever if you walk." When she didn't answer he felt as if he was getting smaller and smaller by the minuet. "We?" The only word that escaped her mouth. " Y-Yes, I have my three friends." She took a moment. Who is this boy? And why does he care? I just met him minuets ago and now he wants to give me a ride? Though he seems nice and harmless…I have no where else to go either way… " Didn't your parents teach you not you talk to strangers?" She asked knowing this boy was too out-going for her comfort. " Well no…" She stuttered in her step. wh-what does he mean? NO? " Don't have parents…just my friends." Goku looked down. She argued her trust and her jumbled thoughts then finally spoke " That would be nice. Thank you." "So you will come?" The young boy excitedly spoke. For some reason he felt like he had made a friend. A total stranger that he hadn't known for more than fifteen minuets and felt a unexplainable bond. She stopped and so did Goku. They both looked at each other in the eye for the first time. Her pale ruby eyes bore into the gold. Her eyes are like gojyo's but light and bright. They both continued to examine one another. She looked like any other girl with olive skin. This boy looks so young…Well not much younger than me. She finally broke the stare. " Well which way are your friends?" Her voice still sorrowful as she attempted to smile. " This way!" The boy smiled and grabbed the girl by her wrist and began to run. Then noticing that he had been to forward. He stopped, looked at her and put his head down slightly. " Sorry." His voice apologetic. He is so innocent. She noticed how he had disappointed himself and felt the least she could do was make him feel better. She smiled and grabbed his hand, leading at first then realizing she had no idea where she was going she slowed down and let her new friend run ahead. She saw three men waiting for them two facing her and one the other direction. " Hakkai, Sanzo , Gojyo!" The voice in front of her yelled excitedly. Maybe this isn't a good idea… She began to have second thoughts. They finally reached them and their jeep where she slowed down. Goku saw her and hooked her arm in his. Why is he so friendly?, but she didn't pull away.
Gojyo POV
I sat on the other side of Jeep looking out knowing that Goku would be back any minuet. I herd his voice shouting. I stayed with my back towards them waiting until I listened to their conversation. Who is with him, who did he bring back?… Acting as if I didn't care I learned it was a girl by the sound of her voice. I stayed that way for a while.
Y POV
" Who is this? Goku?" The man with a monocle spoke first his voice was kind. He smiled at me. It wasn't fake nor halfhearted. I nodded and bowed slightly. " I-I ….My new friend. I saw someone and that's why I ran." He looked down " Sorry." The blonde haired man stared at me for a while, i could feel his eyes. I kept my head down. " Goku," he began as he rubbed his temples. " Now what do we do?-She's not coming with us --" The man who I assumed was a priest was interrupted by the other. " Excuse me but if you don't mind me asking, what is your name?" His voice caring and polite. " Yukiko Shizuka.- You can call me Yukiko." Trying my best not to stutter. Making sure my hood was covering most of my face. " Nice to meet you Yukiko, My name is Hakkai-this is Sanzo, and I see you have already met Goku ….where is -" He was cut off by a another guy. He walked around the back of the car with his head down. " Goku, you-" He looked up and stared at me. My eyes for the most part, were covered by the black cloth. I stared at the bright crimson eyes for a second and averted my gaze to study him. His eyes and hair are the same exact bright red. He's so beautiful. My orbs lowered to his mouth. The light amber glow of his cigarette lay in between both of his perfect lips. Causing smoke to lace the air. I had no choice but to notice the scars on his tan face. I realized all the time I unconsciously spent gawking at him my face flushed. Thank god for my hood. "Gojyo this is Yukiko, Goku's new friend." I looked at Goku, how was giving the man known as Sanzo a puppy-dog face. I thought that now would be a good time to talk then just stand there. " Um, - Well it was nice meeting you all, hopefully I will see you all again." I sighed and turned away. Why did I get my hopes up!?! These are strangers!--Unless they want to have me tag along. I turned on my heal. " Do you think you could at least drive me to the next village?" I had no hope, especially since it seemed the man in the robe called al the shots. " Goku and -- What was that other mans name?-
3 POV
Goku and Gojyo ran to Sanzo and started to talk at the same time. With them doing this it gave him even more of a headache , plus he couldn't understand the fast gibberish. The only words he could differentiate were : Please , Girl, come, us, with , once, for, never, ask, again, need, and test. They stopped out of breath and panting. " No." The blonde bluntly stated. Then he was sure the word 'please' had never been so long before. " No." He repeated his tone harsh. Hakkai walked over and stopped the two from angering the priest. He was too late. Before he was beside the man Sanzo had fired his gun once again in-between the two. The only thing he didn't realize until after was that the gun was pointed in the same direction as Yukiko. All eyes widened and all their heads snapped in her direction, she stood huched over. " Are you alright?" The man with one eye covered asked concerned. She looked up at all of them reveling her face to the three men. Something about her ,I just cant put my finger on it. Hakkai thought." I'm fine. Thanks-" She smiled with her teeth showing her abnormally sharp K9's. " Sanzo I think we owe her a ride to the next village for almost being shot." The red eyes stared at the dark purple. "fine." with little enthusiasm. They all piled into the jeep. The young girl sat in between Gojyo and Goku. Listening to their bickering every once in a while when she was to tired to answer questions , leading to Hakkai asking them to stop and Sanzo shouting every time they got to loud. Even as they fought , argued, shouted they all seemed indisputably close, Closer than any smiled to herself. What a day….Keep in mind you just met them. " Yukiko-" Her thoughts were interrupted by an innocent voice. Yukiko looked at her new friend, " Yes." Reminding herself to not get to comfortable. " We are camping out tonight so jeep can get some rest." She hadn't noticed it was dark the area had changed. It was no longer just sand, the sand had been replaced with dry soil and the open spaces started to fill with trees. " Um-…" Before she could answer a loud sound came from Goku's directions. Her face was confused. Goku smiled weakly. " I'm hungry!" Yukiko couldn't help but laugh. A light giggle escaped her mouth. Goku and Gojyo laughed as well finding her amusing. " Get used to that, its all you will hear when your around him." Gojyo nudged her. A few minuets later they stopped. They were surrounded by trees. They all were out of the car and began doing separate tasks. Hakkai pulled out supplies while Sanzo helped. Yukiko, Gojyo , and Goku looked for fire wood. They managed to get back and start a fire. Hakkai was uneasy. " Hakkai ?" Yukiko trailed off. " Yes, Yukiko?" His voice reassuring. " Nothing." She knew it wasn't her place to say anything.
