The day was quite boring as you were waiting for another weary traveler to check into your family's inn. Sitting behind a desk with the same old, dry reading materials as the day passes by is making it such a waste. Why couldn't you do something more fun? Go on dates, walk the dog, go shopping… It was all the same. Your father wouldn't let you do anything unless it was for himself or your sick mother. The inn was hot and sticky on the dull August day and a fan was blowing in your face.
Ahem- lacking an introduction to yourself, eh? You know who you are, don't you? Well, your name is Homare Funo, such an ordinary female with no special talent. You are displeased with your current life and want to do anything a normal twenty-two year old woman would want to do. You have shoulder length brown hair which is in need of hair treatment and you have matching brown eyes. Your figure is slender, but built tough as for you are 5'11". You also have a younger brother who was 15 and an old dog.
-What if I were to go out today?- You thought as frustrations grew upon you. Boredom is not your cup of tea. -Maybe I should go out, at least this once…-
You called out to your younger brother who was coming downstairs with perfect timing," Toki-kuuuun! Watch the inn for me. Just this once, please!"
Toki responded apathetically," Whatever," he didn't really mind taking over for a bit.
"Kya!" You hugged your brother," I just love you, Toki-kun! Tell dad I'm out on a lunch break."
He nodded and you left your family's inn. You were going around your humble town looking for somebody to talk to. You really wanted to get a boyfriend ever-so-badly and there were always new people coming and going. Other than permanent residents, you see lots of visitors. Maybe the market would be the best place to see travelers? You must see for yourself.
Once you got to the marketplace, you were earnestly looking for cute guys within your age range while buying food to stock up in the inn. You were looking through fruits in the marketplace frantically as for there were many people out today. Hands grabbing everything they could find… Not such a good idea looking for fruit at the moment. You saw a peach that wasn't bruised or damaged in any way and reached for it. Before you could snatch it, a larger hand got to it first. This resulted you to grab the hand.
You turned your head to the left and smiled saying," Oh, I'm sorry! You can have that peach. You found it first."
The person you spoke to had scarlet eyes and long, red hair and a brown, leather jacket. He was not much taller than you and looked real… bad-ass.
" Naw, that's fine. Such a pretty lady shouldn't have to fight for fruit," the man gave a dazzling smile with a cigarette hanging from his mouth. He gave you the peach and then asked," Hey, do you know where the nearest inn is? My pals and I are having trouble finding our way around."
" My family owns an inn! You can stop by our place and get as many rooms as you want. Today hasn't been busy at all. I can show you the way, if you'd like," you responded to the kind man and added," And thank you for the peach."
The man then said," When we stay the night, I'd sure like to meet up with you in a few hours," he winked and continued," My name is Gojyo."
" My name is Homare. Come with me then, Mr. Gojyo."
"No need to call me 'mister'."
You showed the man named Gojyo the way to your tiny inn and he then said he'd return later that evening with three other people to fill four rooms.
--------
The rest of your day seemed to be on a lighter note. You met the cutest guy ever and he may have more hot friends to come and meet up with you! As soon as it was 7PM you heard people bustle and move about outside the inn.
"GAH! GOJYO! Stop that!!" a higher pitched voice exclaimed angrily, but you could tell it was a boy," Why must you be such an ass?!"
"Oh, you just better shut up, you stupid monkey! I told you- don't act a complete faggot around this chick! Don't ruin one of my only moments of glory with another woman. I'm stuck with you homos for ever and ever!" the familiar voice of the man named Gojyo you met earlier fought back.
"You letch!" another disembodied voice sounded the most angry. His voice was followed by gunfire.
"Now, now, Sanzo. No need to shoot that thing." a slightly cracked voice was obviously trying to calm everybody down" Once we all get inside try to actually act like normal people."
Moments later three handsome men walked in with a teenage boy. One of the men had brunette hair and had a monocle over his right eye. He was slightly shorter than the man Gojyo, wore three small earrings on his left ear and he wore a green, black shirt with khaki colored jeans. The boy that was there wore a golden crown upon his head and was obviously the junior member of the group. He had an orangey cape, a baggy t-shirt, and wore some pretty ripped up jeans. The last man bore a crimson chakra upon his forehead, wore priestly robes, and had the most wonderful purple eyes.
Gojyo was a bit frazzled but tried to cover it in his speech," Heeeeellooo, beautiful. Do you still have the four rooms available?"
You blushed at the remark of being considered beautiful and answered," We sure do!"
"Lets show these guys the way to theirs and come hang with me for a while…"
"Nawh, I'm fine."
"That's okay."
--------
It was the dead of night and everybody in the inn was sleeping peacefully. You sat in your bedroom thinking about the four men you met today. They were all so cool and were really friendly (except for the blond man…). You wished you could see more people like that.
You slipped into your bed in a pair of your favorite pajamas, a silky night dress. You checked your alarm clock and it said it was 1:52 AM. It was very late and you shouldn't be up that late, on account of watching the inn. You were then closing your eyes to catch some Zs and you were slowly dosing off… Eventually, you hear footsteps in the hallway.
Plurnk… Plurnk… Plurnk…
The person obviously was trying to be quiet, but failed to do so. Shortly the footsteps passed your door and went further down the hallway. You were thinking that it was Toki, wanting to go get something and ignored the footsteps.
But… moments later you hear a glass shattering scream and immediately jumped out of bed. You rustle down the hallway, flinging open doors to see who got hurt. You come to your parents bedroom.
Inside your parents bedroom you see a creature with pointy ears, weird markings on his face, and long nails with blood coating them. The creature was standing over your mother and father on their bed and slashed them fiercely with their insides scattered on the walls.
"Delicious…" The creature mumbled licking his chops. The monstrous creature was staring you head on. You were his next prey. The creature that killed your parents went charging after you. You flinched because you didn't know what to do. The shock was so great that you may be killed and that your parents are already dead. Tears were streaming from your eyes.
BUT! Before he could reach you a green light flashed across the room and knocked down the monster. A soft, calming voice asked," Are you okay?!"
You turn and see the man you met earlier with Gojyo who wore the green outfit. The man ran up to you and grabbed your wrists and examined you. Your face turned a slight shade of pink and you asked," What are you doing..?"
"I'm checking to see if you're hurt, of course!"
"Uh," you were speechless. A hot guy may be using this life threatening situation to check you out!
You then thought of a most obvious question," What's your name?"
"Hakkai."
Hakkai smiled and then said," Lets get out of this room. I'm sure there'll be more youkai coming this way."
Hakkai led you out of the room and into a room that you gave him earlier.
"Stay here," he commanded you.
You had this surge of courage in you," NO! My parents are dead and there'll be more of those youkai coming! I don't want anything worse to happen!"
"What if you get hurt?"
"I won't! I know it."
"But still…" Hakkai was trying not to give up this little quarrel.
"I don't want to be alone either."
" -sigh- I'll just stay with you for now."
As Hakkai sat in this room with you, you heard many noises. Hakkai then reassured you that it was his other buddies, Sanzo, Goku, and Gojyo destroying the demons.
As you know… This may be boring, right? Now, it won't be. Maybe. It's your opinion…
Without much notice, Hakkai's door was hit down by a demon that wasn't caught by the other men.
"TIME TO DIE!!" the youkai was about to hit you, but Hakkai made a chi shield, but it wasn't really needed. The demon was knocked out by the younger group member, Goku.
"Hey, Hakkai! Do you think we can get some food before we leave?" Goku sounded like he didn't have a care in the world after he just knocked out something evil.
"Goku, this isn't the most appropriate moment to eat," Hakkai dropped some anime sweat from his brow.
"Yes it is!" Goku argued.
Then
out of nowhere, the blond priest, Sanzo, made a tisking noise and
said," The monkey is right for once. I do not sense any demons
around here.
He sounded really mad, but you were indifferent
towards his attitude.
Sanzo wasn't finished," And why the hell are holding this girl in your room, Hakkai?"
Hakkai had a wry smile and said," She's going to come with us!"
Gojyo met up with the group and saw that everybody was in silence.
"What's wrong…"
You say to Gojyo," Hakkai says I'm going to come with you guys…?"
"WHAT?!"
