The grass and dead leafs crunched under Gojyo and Hakkai's feet as they walked. The noise wasn't nearly as annoying as Gojyo's voice however:
"Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads."
To Hakkai's dismay, Gojyo had found a coin on the ground earlier back and he was now flipping it, feeling the need to announce his result, each time he got one. Even more irritating to the green eyed man was that each result was—
"Heads. Heads. Heads."
Hakkai sighed and looked straight ahead as they walked. They had gotten separated from Sanzo and Goku during a fight with Kougaiji's group, having been accidentally pushed off a cliff in an explosion from one of Yaone's bombs. What was more, they were also separated from Hakkai's faithful dragon Hakuryu, leaving them with only their legs as transportation.
Gojyo noticed the bored/annoyed look on Hakkai's face and offered, "Bet?"
Hakkai just looked at Gojyo and nodded. What could it hurt? Hakkai always won bets anyway. He was simply lucky in that way. "Tails…" he said, in order to hear something besides 'Heads.'
Unfortunately…
"Heads. I win!"
Hakkai's eye twitched. "How… but, what…?!" he sputtered, quite surprised he had lost.
"You can't win them all, Hakkai," Gojyo continued flipping, a satisfactory grin on his face. "Heads. Heads. Heads. Heads."
Hakkai huffed. "It must be indicative of something besides the redistribution of wealth…" he handed Gojyo a coin from his own pocket.
"Heads."
"A weaker man might be moved to reexamine his faith…" Hakkai pondered aloud, quite bothered by this coin. "for nothing else, atleast in the law of probability…"
"Heads."
"Consider…" Hakkai continued. "A probability is a factor which operates within natural forces."
"Heads."
Hakkai grew even more irritated and took the coin from Gojyo and tossed it over his shoulder. Gojyo peered at the coin.
"Heads. Eighty-five in a row!"
"That's absurd!"
"Sorry, H'kai," Gojyo opened his palm and Hakkai gave him another few coins. "I'm afraid this isn't your day."
"Time has stopped dead, and a single experience of one coin being spun once has been repeated ninety times..." Hakkai could not figure out why this was happening. He flipped another coin and handed it to Gojyo. "On the whole, doubtful."
"Heads."
"Divine intervention? Also doubtful…"
"Alright, alright, I'll stop… this is getting creepy…" Gojyo sighed, putting the coins away, safely in his pocket. "Let's just find the other two and get the hell out of here."
"Agreed…"
