The Sanzo party were currently on their way to a small town for a bit of rest although they would be leaving soon afterwards. Typical of them but they had a deadline to follow. Hakkai was driving with that smile he always had on his face, Sanzo sat shotgun with his arms crossed, Goku was leaning back in his seat looking bored, and Gojyo was staring out at the scenery with his chin resting on his hand. The ride was quiet for awhile until Goku put his arms on the back of the front seat, rested his head on it, and sighed.
"Are we there yet?" he asked.
The golden haired, violet eyed priest glared at him out the corner of his eye. Then he made a small growling noise and looked at the passing forest scenery.
"Soon..." he replied monotone.
Hakkai chuckled and peered at Goku in the rearview mirror. "It's best not to agitate him while we go through hot places. You know how irritable he is" he warned the money king. Gojyo sighed and pulled Goku back into his seat roughly by the collar. "Shut up and stop and stop asking stupid ass questions" he barked at him.
Goku pulled down an eyelid with his middle finger and also stuck his tongue out at him. Gojyo growled and grew a vein.
"Fuck you too! Goddamn monkey boy!" he yelled.
"At least I ain't a hentai who can't control himself!" Goku replied back and bawled his fist ready to take a punch at him.
"I don't eat everything in sight pig!" Gojyo was ready to take a swing at him.
"I can swim unlike you dumb ass water sprite!"
Hakkai was smiling to him himself, enjoying the argument ensuing although he was sure that the veins on Sanzo's forehead proved otherwise. The monk was really starting to get pissed, he wanted to shoot them both and leave their dead bodies behind, if there was anything left that is. The argument continued until the two bakas started to fist fight and make the jeep move around too much. Even Hakkai had to drive more carefully because of those two. Sanzo had enough of this crap and took out his harisan.
"Shut the hell up! Learn to control yourselves!" he yelled in between hits. Both of them tried to cover their heads from the assault but it was futile and they ended up with numerous lumps on their heads. "Go easy on them, the heat gets to everyone" Hakkai said calmly while laughing a bit. The monk sighed and sat back down putting the damned thing away in his robes. "Finally, some peace" he said crossing his arms. Hopefully they would continue with no more incidents...though that was highly unlikely.
Hakkai calmed down and kept his eyes on the road. "For awhile at least but the peace won't last forever" he said to Sanzo. "I know and I'll be ready to put bullets through their tiny brains" he replied getting a 'hey' from Goku and Gojyo. Only a few more hours to endure.
A crowd of people surrounded a young woman who was currently chain smoking and listening to a villager talk about his problems.
"Everyone has their problems man. You really need to work on things" she said once he finished his little sob story.
You had to practically beg this priestess for a word of advice. Groveling worked if you wanted her to probe your mind and look into the future. Maybe she wasn't traditional but she had her pride and that was what made her strong.
"Alright, next" she said putting down her cigarette in a glass ashtray and savoring the last of the smoke in her mouth. A young demon with red hair and piercing blue eyes sat down across from her and folded his hands on the table.
"Read mine if you really claim to know the future" he said in a gruff voice.
"Fine" she said with a smirk and let her dark green eyes go blank as she stared into his eyes.
They were really the gateway to the soul. She could see nothing but shadows at first but then she saw a woman. One with long flowing hair and only wearing a sleek gown. She looked at the man with murderous eyes and stabbed a knife through his chest, drawing blood and making it flow from his mouth. The priestess was shocked once she got out of his head and was holding her temple.
"Damn...you need to watch out for a woman. She wants you dead and from what I can tell it's personal" she warned. The man nodded his head and put a bag of yin on the table.
"Payment for your services. Arigato" he said standing up and bowing to her before walking off. She took it with a smirk and people continued to ask away questions.
Mayumi had long dark hair that flowed down her back and a few bangs in the front that were unruly. Dark green eyes, the eyes of a fallen angel as people commented. It was never an insult to her, she welcomed it in fact. The robes she wore were all white and resembled something a Sanzo priest would wear. But seeing as women couldn't be Sanzos, she was dubbed a high priestess and had the same benefits and training as one. Underneath, she wore a black tank top and black stretch pants that showed off her hidden curvaceous body.
On her feet were white tabi socks and high sandals that hurt her after awhile if she wasn't careful in battle or just walking around. Her current search for the sutras wasn't going too well. All she had was the one she had been entrusted with, which was the elemental sutra of earth. Damn she needed to do something about it.
The only reason she had come this far was because she wanted to meet the Sanzo party and ask some questions. "Miss? What is your name?" one person asked. She looked up from her thoughts and gave a small smile. "I am High Priestess Mayumi Chiharu" she replied and stood up with her hands in her sleeves.
"Please stay" one begged.
She shook her head and bowed to them all. "I must go, gomen nasai" she apologized and walked away.
Once she was outside, she sighed in relief and took out her pack of Salem lights and put one of the cancer sticks to her lips. Then she used her silver lighter to ignite it and inhaled the smoke while she leaned against the wall of the hotel. Damn she hated people, well, people who bugged her anyway. That meant everyone who came in contact with her.
But thankfully she could be polite if she needed to but she was remotely cold towards people and didn't want to be around them much. She felt like a different type of race compared to humans but she wasn't a demon. Maybe it was her eyes, they weren't a normal green...more of a green that was made for an angel. Mayumi sighed and started to walk off, she had more things to do.
The Sanzo party finally made it to the next town and Goku looked around at the restaurants they had in awe.
"Control yourself monkey boy" Gojyo said. Goku growled and cracked his knuckles with a grin on his face. "Ya wanna say that again?" he asked. Sanzo pointed his gun at them with an irritated vein on his head.
"Didn't I say SHUT UP?" he yelled.
Goku pouted and sighed. "He started it" Goku said pointing at Gojyo. The kappa scoffed and looked out at the town. Hopefully they had some good looking women, he needed to get laid. Hakkai stopped in front of an inn and got out along with everyone else. "I'm getting rooms" Sanzo said and walked inside with his gold card in his hand. Hakkai pulled out thier supplies and let Hakuryuu turn back into his pet dragon. The little adorable thing chirped happily finally being able to fly and landed on his master's shoulders. "Come on" Hakkai said to Goku and Gojyo who were both looking around.
"Comin!" they both said at the same time and walked inside with the youkai. A group of people were gathered around a young woman who appeared to be wearing robes like Sanzo was. "Is she a Sanzo?" Goku asked. Gojyo patted his head as if he were a slow child, and he was at the moment.
"Nope, women can't be Sanzos. So maybe she's something else. Why do you care monkey?" he said with a grin.
Goku growled and pushed his hand off. "I just wanted to okay! And stop callin' me a monkey!" he yelled.
Hakkai laughed at the impending argument and went over to Sanzo who was waiting for room keys. The innkeeper came back over to the desk and handed them one.
"I'm sorry, we only have one room left" he said. Sanzo glared at him then the key. "Really? It doesn't seem so crowded to me" Hakkai commented. The innkeeper sweatdropped and pointed to the crowd of people.
"Most of them are here because of the priestess that is visiting" he said. They all looked over and blinked. Her face couldn't be seen but from the silhouette she was bored and was listening with her chin on her hand and the other arm holding her hip.
"Well, do you have a closet? My pet here can sleep in that" Sanzo said pointing at Goku. He looked over and growled.
"I'm not a dog!" he yelled. Sanzo smirked and gave him a glance out the corner of his eye.
"You're right, you're a monkey" he replied.
The little youkai grew a vein on his head and crossed his arms. The innkeeper bowed and apologized to them.
"Gomen...but you may ask one of the guests to share" he suggested.
"That doesn't sound too bad, I'm sure someone will be willing to do so. Who here has a room with two beds?" Hakkai asked. The manager glanced over in his book and gulped. "Um...that would be the priestess herself" he said nervously.
Gojyo sighed and put his hands in his pockets. "I'll ask to share with her then" he said with a knowing smile. They all knew that too well, he wanted to get laid and had found his chance. Sanzo shook his head and started to walk off. "Do whatever you want, I'm going" he said coldly. Hakkai sweatdropped and pat Gojyo on the shoulder.
"I think we'd better ask of Goku could share, I doubt she would room with you" he said with a smile. Goku snickered and began to walk off with his hands behind his head. "Good point, we can ask her later" he said. Gojyo glared at Hakkai and began to walk off.
"You all are too serious, I think she'd like a real man to room with" he said smirking and took a puff on his cigarette. Hakkai put an arm around his friend's shoulders and began to walk with him. "Not a chance, there's something about her that tells me she just wouldn't. Please restrain yourself from being killed" he advised the redhead.
Sanzo and Hakkai had settled into their room and Gojyo had made himself comfortable on Hakkai's bed for the moment. Goku had ran off to eat a buffet or two and left them at the inn. The monk was reading a paper while Hakkai was sorting things around and let Hakuryuu fly around outside. Gojyo was enjoying a cigarette and thinking about going to the red light district later. He was seriously hungry for a woman and if he needed to he would even seduce a clingy chick.
Hakkai turned to Sanzo and gave him a small smile like he always did. "Anything interesting?" he asked. Sanzo didn't even look up from his paper and kept on reading. "Just a few demons attacking, but nothing serious" he said monotone. Hakkai sighed and laid out on Sanzo's bed. "This is nice, to be able to relax a little bit" he said in content. Gojyo looked over at his best friend and gave him a smile.
"Ya know what else would be nice? A few hot chicks to bang later on that hang onto your every word" he said with a perverted grin. Sanzo glanced over at him and turned the page in his paper.
"You have a one track mind" he said looking at him through his glasses. Gojyo laughed a little and took another puff on his cigarette.
"You're just mad because you can't get laid" he replied back. Then he stretched and got up. "I'm gonna go ask about that room" he said. Hakkai waved to him. "Good luck with that" he said. The red head walked out just to be greeted with the sound of Goku running upstairs.
"That food was great!" he said happily and ran up to him. Gojyo looked down and poked his stomach.
"You keep eating and you'll look like a blob" he told him.
Goku puffed his cheeks out in anger and then sighed letting out the rage. "Shut up, I have to ask the woman about the room or else Sanzo will make me sleep in a closet" he said walking down the hall.
Gojyo followed him and knocked on the door. "I hope she agrees to one of us staying in here" he commented and put out his cigarette. If she didn't like smoke he wouldn't want to agitate her.
Mayumi was reading one of her romance novels when they knocked on the door. She had managed to escape those goddamn people downstairs who kept bugging her and irritating her to no end. But her books, cigarettes, and light liquor always calmed her down. The knock seemed strong enough to have come from a man, probably some baka who wanted to know more about his future.
She sighed and marked her page, it was nearly to the fight scene between the main heroine and villain. "I'm coming" she said loud enough so that the person would be patient. Then she put on her tabi socks she had thrown off earlier and decided to keep what she on her body. Her chest may have been big but the tank top didn't show it that much. She opened the door to come face to face with a tall red haired man and a short brown haired kid by the looks of it.
"Yes?" she asked in a cold voice. Gojyo couldn't help but stare for a moment, her eyes reminded him of Hakkai's only more dark and didn't seem to have depth in them. Scary if you asked him but also gave him a sense of calmness around her. Goku looked at her and smiled.
"We were wondering if you could share a room with me, ours is too small" he stated. She seemed to be not phased by his request and moved to let them through. Her room was pure white and seemed plain almost. That is until they walked in. It smelled like jasmine and light smoke.
"Well...if I got something in return..." she said sitting in her chair by the small desk.
They blinked and gave her small smiles. "So that means you'll let him stay?" Gojyo asked. Damn, she was kind of hot but she reminded him of Sanzo. Cold and distant, not to mention she had an aura that reeked of 'pissy priestess'.
"I don't care, as long as he doesn't disturb me" she said picking up her book. Goku yayed and went out the room to go get his things from the other room leaving those two alone. Gojyo smirked and went a little closer to her by sitting in a chair near her and giving her what would be his seductive look.
"Hey honey, I can show ya a good time if ya let me" he said in a low voice. She looked over and shrugged.
"Sorry, I'm celibate unlike most people and certainly not easy. But if you want a bullet through your head or to be vaporized by a sutra go ahead and keep messing with me" she said in a harsh tone with her soft but hard voice. He cringed at the thought, damn she was just like that pissy monk! He sighed and stood up.
"I'm gonna remember that...and before I go, what's your name?" he asked. She kept reading and sighed in irritation. "Mayumi Chiharu" she replied not taking her eyes off the words.
He walked off and saw Goku coming back with his things.
"Don't make her mad" he warned. Goku blinked and watched him walk off.
He couldn't get the priestess to like him and let him hit it probably. Dumb ass hentai water sprite. Goku walked into the room and cracked the door not knowing id she preferred it open or closed. Then he went over to the empty bed and sat his stuff down.
"Um...miss? Is there anything I need to know about you?" he asked. She looked up from her book and gave him a small smile. "No, just please try to let me rest" she said. He smiled back and plopped down on his bed. She didn't seem all that bad, not to him anyway.
Score one for the good Goku, zero for the hentai Gojyo.
"Oh...my name is Mayumi, but you may call me Miss Chiharu" she added and went back to her book. Mayumi finished her chapter after ten minutes and closed the novel.
Goku reminded her of her brother Kyo...he would have been the same age, had the same happiness, the same hair even. But the eyes...his eyes were violet and Goku's were golden. But...didn't people with golden eyes seem taboo? Meh, she never believed in that crap.
"Hey, wanna play a game of cards?" he suggested.
Mayumi nodded and pulled out her own deck of cards from the pile that was the top of her robes. "Spades" she said with a grin. Damn she was going to win all too easily, and maybe win some yin in the process.
Well, that was my first chapter in this fanfic. I don't think it's all that good but I'd appreciate it if I got reviews and feedback for my work. I'll try to make the second chapter longer than this one was. Oh! And I almost forgot, NoxKindxOfxLife role played this with me before and I have to thank her for letting me use the information and her characters that will come in later for that.
