Kanan... What would have happened to us, if this never happened?
"Get your grubby hands off of me, you filthy Kappa!" Goku cried, snapping Hakkai out of his thoughts.
"Well, give me a damn beer, monkey boy!" Gojyo yelled, smacking Goku upside his head.
"Like hell, I will!"
"IF BOTH OF YOU DON'T STOP WITH YOUR CONSTANT FLIRTING, I WILL KILL YOU!" Sanzo said, holding his gun up. Gojyo and Goku sat back, Goku handing Gojyo his beer, murmuring under his breath. Hakkai chuckled a bit, driving through the dark forest.
"We should reach a town soon," he said, glancing at Sanzo.
"Good... Anymore of this bickering, someone's getting his head shot off."
"You seem to be in a cheerful mood today, Sanzo," Hakkai chuckled again, looking ahead, seeing the flickering of lights coming on. "Oh, goody, we're here."
"Fooooooood...," Goku whined, his stomach growling.
"Is that all you can think about!" Gojyo snarled, looking at Goku.
"Is all you can think about is getting laid, which you haven't done yet!" Gojyo stammered, then huffed, sitting back in his seat. Goku laughed, then did a little dance. "I win you lose!"
"Shut up, Goku, or you won't get anything to eat!" Sanzo hissed. Goku whined, then sat back, throwing at glare at Gojyo, who was snickering. Hakkai looked at Sanzo.
"Isn't that a bit harsh, coming from you?"
"Alright, fine... You'll only get to eat beans and tofu, Goku."
"Oh, come on, man! That's not fair!"
"It's either that, or nothing!"
Hakkai shook his head, smiling slightly, like he always did. "Well, I'm glad we're all getting along tonight." He pulled up in front of an in, then climbed out the jeep. When everyone was out, there was a slight "Poof!" and a flicker of light, as the vehical turned into a small white dragon.
"Kyaaaaaa..." The dragon cooed, flying on Hakkai's shoulder, and nuzzled his cheek. Hakkai smiled, then slowly walked into the inn.
"Hello? Anyone here?" He called, walking to the front desk. Goku looked around, then looked at the floor.
"I can see my face!" He cried. Gojyo looked at Goku's face in the floor.
"Ugh, it's gross..."
"You son of a bi--"
"Both of you better shut up!"
There was a light patter, that came faster, and then stopped behind the counter.
"I'm sorry! I was making dinner for the other guests!" Was the reply from the girl behind the counter. She bowed a bit, then stood back up, smiling slightly, pushing a strand of black hair behind her ear. "How many rooms?" She asked, pulling out a book. Gojyo smirked, then leaned against the counter.
"Four rooms, but you can always stopped by in my room..." He crooned, winking at her, then yelped, holding the back of his head, as Sanzo smacked him with the fan. "Dammit, Sanzo!"
"I don't think she'd be interested in you!" Sanzo hissed, crossing his arms.
"Don't mind them, miss. But, we would really like four rooms. Possibly next to each other," Hakkai said, smiling at her.
"Of course!" She smiled back, opening her book, and looking for free rooms. "Well, we have four rooms, all on the same floor, but there spread out on different areas of the floor. Is that alright, sir?" She asked, looking up at Hakkai, who nodded.
"That's fine." She smiled, then marked something in the book, then closed it turning around, and looking at the keys on the wall behind her. Gojyo leaned against the counter, looking at the girl. Her hair was curly and made its way down the middle of her back, where it was tied at the bottom. She wear a skirt that went to the middle of her thighs, and pants under it. She turned around, and handed each of them a key. "Your rooms are on the third floor. My name is Adonia, and if you need me, please feel free to ring me." She said, walking from behind the counter. "I'll show each of you to your rooms, then you may come down for dinner." She smiled at them again, then walked up a flight of stairs. Goku followed behind him, in awe at the shiny staircase. Hakkai held onto the railing, looking at the paintings on the wall. Sazno was behind Hakkai, staring at the floor, trying not trip over his robes. Last but not least, Gojyo walked behind his friends, his hands in his pockets. The pang he was feeling in his chest, was nothing he ever felt before. It wasn't even lust. He shrugged it off, following them, as they made it to Goku's room.
"Here you are!" She cooed at Goku, who happily skipped into his room, looking around.
"God dammit, everything is so fucking shiny!" He cried, looking around. "Even the toilet is shiny!" Adonia giggled, then looked at Hakkai.
"Your room is right this way..." She walked down the hall, and turned a corner, opening a door, that was by a pair of windows. Hakkai stepped in, in awe. His room had a balcony. He walked around the room, then out to the balcony. He smiled, seeing the moon above him.
"Thank you, Adonia." She nodded, then left the room, looking up at Sanzo.
"Oh! If I would have known there was a Buddhist priest, I would have gave you that room!" She cried, bowing deeply. Sanzo blinked, looking down at her.
"Erm... Don't worry about it... It's fine.."
"This inn has never had a priest here before, and it's an honour to have you stay here.." Adonia stood straight, then made her way down the hall, pushing open a door. Sanzo stepped in, staring around blankly. Words couldn't describe how he was feeling. The room was a dark violet, and shown the moonlight on the floor. He turned to Adonia, who smiled at him, then left, lightly closing the door. She looked up Gojyo.
"I hope your room is to your liking, sir," Adonia said softly, looking at the floor blushing. Gojyo's heart skipped a bit. This girl was the most beautiful woman he ever saw in his entire life. He followed her down the hall.
"How old are you?" He asked bluntly, causing Adonia to glance over her shoulder at him.
"I'm twenty... Why?"
"Just curious..." He said, shrugging. Adonia pushed open the door to Gojyo's room. Gojyo stepped in. The carpet was an emerald green, and the walls where a dark blue. He looked back at Adonia, who was about to leave.
"Hey..."
"Yes?"
"...Am I allowed to smoke in here?" He asked. Adonia looked at him, then giggled, nodding.
"Well, if your hungry, dinner is downstairs." She left. Gojyo pulled out a pack of his cigarettes, and slid one in his mouth, lighting it. He looked around, then sat on his bed, puffing at it gently. He shrugged, then grounded the cigarette out, leaving his room, and walking downstairs to eat.

Hakkai was the last one down into the diner. He blinked, looking at all the people. They were mostly older people, or couples on their honeymoon. He slowly made his way to his friends, then sat down, looking at Sazno.
"Maybe we should have waited until the crowd died..." He said slowly, feeling slightly jealous of a couple cooing at each other.
"Nah... Goku wouldn't have it..." Sanzo murmured, puffing on a cigarette, pushing his glasses up his nose. Goku looked at the menu.
"Everything looks so good... I'm gonna order it all!"
"I don't think that would be very wise, Goku... I think she's the only cook... And look at all these people. She must be tired," Hakkai pointed out. Goku pouted, slumping in his chair. Sanzo rolled his eyes, then looked around, then eyed his menu. Adonia bursted from the kitchen, carrying tray upon tray of food. She grunted, laying a tray on a table, then ran around the diner, nearly stumbling. She raced back into the kitchen.
"Maybe we should help her?" Hakkai asked, slowly standing up, and walking into the kitchen. Sanzo took one last puff from his cigarette, then shrugged, following Hakkai.
"Why the hell not?" Goku jumped up, following Sanzo.
"Maybe we'll get free food!" Gojyo watched them, then followed, hands still in his pockets.
"I can't possibly thank you enough, sir..." Was the plea from Adonia. Hakkai rubbed the back of his head.
"You can call me Hakkai... You're making me sound old," He chuckled.
"Oh, I'm sorry... Well, there's a lot of work to do... So... Someone can do the dishes... And... another can cut the vegatables and meats... Another can help me cook, and someone can take out the food."
"Goku, dishes, I got the chopping, Hakkai helps with the preperation, and Gojyo will take out the food," Sanzo said bluntly, taking off his robes, and setting them on a chair.
"Wait, why do I have dish duty?" Goku cried, rolling up his sleeves.
"Because you had anything else, you would eat it!" Adonia giggled.
"You're a very weird bunch..." She said, tossing the salad.

When they were done serving and preparing the food, the five sat in the kitchen.
"So, how come you're the only cook?" Hakkai asked, slowly cutting a steak, looking at Adonia. Adonia bit her lip, then looked down at her salad, poking it around with her fork.
"Well, the Mistress had others, but they suddenly disappeared one by one. Each of them disappeared by two week intervals, I noticed, when the head chef disappeared." As she said that, Hakkai glanced at Sanzo, who glanced back, nodded, then looked back at Adonia.
"It's been about a month since there has been a disappearance..." Adonia shrugged, then started to eat her salad.
"Has there been any youkai attacks in this town recently?" Sanzo asked, pushing his empty plate away, and pulled out his box of cigarrettes, pulling one out, and putting it in his mouth.
"I don't know. The mistress locks me in my room, after a certain time, and doesn't let me back out, until the guest have left."
"But, don't you get newspapers?" Hakkai asked, looking shocked when Adonia shook her head no.
"The mistress doesn't let me have contact with the outside world..." Gojyo blinked, then looked at Adonia. "Do you think we would be able to have futons, so we can sleep in one room... Preferably yours..." Hakkai and Sanzo looked at Gojyo, trying to figure out what his plan was. Goku was asleep on the table, ice cream melting on his lips. Sanzo's eyes twitched, then he smacked Goku across the face with his paper fan. Goku yelped, then fell off the table, with a loud THUD!
"DAMMIT, SANZO!" Goku stood up, rubbing his red face.
"Well, don't sleep when we're talking about our lives here!" Adonia blinked.
"Sure, I can get you futons... But, I don't think the mistress would allow it..."
"Well, forget what your mistress allows and shit, and just do it..." Gojyo ordered, getting up, and leaving the kitchen. Hakkai got up and followed him.
"What the hell is your problem?"
"I'm gonna see something... She said that she was locked in her room from a certain and until the guest have left, right?" Hakkai nodded, not seeing his point.
"Well, if we stay locked in the room with her, we can see what's going on..."
"You just made... No sense, just now... We can't possibly see anything, because we're locked in her room." Gojyo sighed, then shook his head.
"I want to see if this 'mistress' is a youkai. Don't you find it odd that you're locked in a room until the guest supposedly 'leave'?"
"Yeah, but you don't you think it would be better if she stayed in a room with us, instead of the other way around?"
