The streets were highly crowded, so I had to carry Okami in my arms, for his safety at least. A couple stores and stands caught my eye but, I'll go to them later, after my walk. When I had reached outside the village I let Okami jump out of my arms and onto the ground. He looked up to my curiously. I nodded towards him, signaling him to transform. In a glow of light he turned into his larger form. I hopped onto his tan colored back and patted silky fur on his head, telling him to 'go'. We've been running through the trees and dirt trails coming to a river. We weren't really that far from the small town but far enough to see the roofs of the tallest buildings. I jumped off his back and set up a couple of targets to practice my aim. Okami changed back to his normal small form to take a nap. It took me about a good 20 minutes of setting up and preparing for some nice target practice, too bad Lindsay wasn't here, then I'd have a moving target.
Lindsay's POV
Man...It doesn't take Amber that long to take walk! Where the hell is she? We've finished eating a few minutes after Amber and she's been gone for two hours. I got to know the guys pretty well. Goku isn't that bad, even though he keeps trying to steal my bacon and meat buns. THIER MINE DAMMIT!!! Gojyo is a perverted pig of a water sprite. Hakkai is really nice! But it kind of creeps me out too cause I've never met someone THAT nice before. Then there is Sanzo, it's like dealing with another Amber with EXTRAS.
"Where ever could she be?!" I whined looking around, ⌠it never takes her this long to take a walk!"
"Well, she has been out for quite a while..." Hakkai thought out loud.
"Ahhh! She could be dead for all I know!" I cried, started to panicking, "I don't want to be alone!!!"
Goku grinned patting my back, "don't worry we'll help you find her, right Sanzo?"
"No." was all Sanzo said.
"Aww, come on Sanzo! It's not every day we get to save a hot chick!" said Gojyo.
"No." was Sanzo's only reply. I glared at his rudeness and got up.
"Whatever I can do it myself," I said getting up, and getting ready to leave.
"I'll help you!" said Goku running to me. Hakkai and Gojyo soon followed. Sanzo sighed irritated and followed them.
"Somehow I'm going regret this..." he mumbled.
Amber's POV
I stood there leaning against my sniper rifle for support on my left as I held my desert eagle in my right. "Damn demons..." I mumbled. I was trying to train when I was ambushed by a pack of demons. There had to be hundreds, and still more was coming. I took a step forward to shoot at an incoming demon, but fell down from blood loss. Where the hell is Lindsay when you need her?! Falling to my knees, the demons took their chance to run at me. I glared up at them smirking and shooting a few. Okami was fighting off more at the farther back, but when he heard me fall, he ran to my side. Growling he fought off the demons.
"Just give us the necklace, little lady and we won't hurt you...much.." said what seemed to be the leader of the group. He was huge had to be seven times the size of me. He had dark blue hair and bark tan skin that was scarred up. Okami growled at him and jumped at him, biting the leaders' arm.
"Ahh! Get this mutt off of me!" the leader cried, as the other demons went to help him, ignoring me. This was my chance to get them. The weaker demons were punching and kicking Okami, while some were stabbing him. Okami whimpered and growled in pain letting go. He fell to the ground bleeding. The demons were about to finish him off, when I used the last bit of my strength getting up, running to Okami and shot most of them. Okami went to his smaller form as I fell to my knees before him. I picked him up in my arms and held him tight, not noticing that the Leader and a few weaker demons were left.
"Not so strong now girlie," bragged on the lower classed demons.
"Yeah! Now we can bring that necklace to Lord Kougaiji!" Said another.
"Shut up boys! Since she can't do anything else let's have a little 'fun' with her" said the Leader. They started to close in on me and Okami. I clenched my eyes tight, hoping this wasn't happening. But that's when i heard it.
"AMBER!" I heard a yell, from a certain brat I've been waiting for. 'Bout damn time. I looked up at her and grinned a little. Lindsay looked like she was about to have a heart attack when she saw the little battle field. Then the boys ran in as well, shit... The looks on their faces were priceless as well. Pure shock.
Lindsay's POV
"AMBER!" I yelled as I ran through the forest slightly close to the small town. I could sense were she was, and the guys were following behind. It seemed that Goku was the only one that could keep up to my quick pace, while the others slightly sunk behind, especially that cruel monk. When I had reached a clearing, all I could see was blood... blood everywhere. In the middle was Amber, covered in blood and dirt. She was holding Okami tightly with her back hunched over trying to protect the small wolf. There were demons, getting ready to strike her. It seemed she heard me yelling and looked at me with a pathetic half-grin.
"Are you okay?!" I practically screamed as I jumped towards her cutting the lead demon in half. The others seemed to join in and kill off the weaker demons.
"Where were you?" Amber asked grunting in pain. I looked down at her nervously.
"Um... with the guys eating, guess my senses are getting weak," I said nervously.
"You thing?!" she yelled, but then coughed up blood.
"Oh my, are you okay Miss. Amber?" Hakkai asked as he walked over, "and is your little friend okay as well?"
"He'll be fine," she stated as she tried to get up, but fell back to the ground.
Hakkai held her down, ⌠I suggest that you stay still, or you might bleed to death." Amber growled at his command about to get up again.
Goku walked up to us, "Hakkai, can you heal her?" he asked. Amber was just to try again but I forced her down.
"Let me go Lindsay! I'm fine!" she snapped.
Sanzo walked over to us now, stating, "Obviously, you aren't. By the amount of blood you're losing and amount of pain you're in, you're not okay." Amber glared at him and he glared back, "Hakkai heal her." He turned and walked off away from the group. Hakkai nodded and started healing Amber. I grinned knowing she was going to be okay, and I wasn't going to be alone. Anytime soon, for now. Gojyo walked up to Sanzo, wrapping an arm around his shoulder.
"Ooooo, don't tell me the stingy monk has taking a liking to the bitchy gunslinger~" Gojyo said slyly. Sanzo growled throwing Gojyo's arm off his shoulder and pointing his gun at him. "Talk and die." was all he said.
Amber's POV
Hakkai finished my healing and I grumbled a 'thank-you'. He nodded at me, smiling in return. I looked at the Sanzo and Gojyo.
"Ooooo, don't tell me the stingy monk has taking a liking to the bitchy gunslinger~" Gojyo said slyly. Sanzo growled throwing Gojyo's arm off his shoulder and pointing his gun at him. "Talk and die." was all he said. I blushed at what Gojyo said and quickly turned to see what Lindsay was doing. Seems to be she has made good friends with Goku. They were laughing and talking about their adventures. I smiled at them but quickly hid it. Okami whined in pain, catching my attention. I looked up at Hakkai and asked shyly, "could you heal, Okami...I think he was hurt a little too much..."
Hakkai nodded and smiled, "of course Miss. Amber." His hands glowed a green-ish color as he healed Okami. When he was done, Okami was silently sleeping.
"Thanks again..." I mumbled. He gave me that fake smile and said, ⌠it isn't a problem."
I slowly stood up and looked at Lindsay, "come on brat, we gotta get going."
Lindsay looked at me and gave me puppy dog eyes, " b-but! I just made new friend! We can't leave just yet!!"
"No. We are going now. I don't think we'll need their help." I said as I walked passed Sanzo and Gojyo.
"But look at the state you're in!" Lindsay argued, "You're still hurt."
"Lindsay!" I snapped at her for the first time, "I don't care, we are going. We'll just be burdens. Like we've always been. Beside we have a mission to do." Lindsay sadly nodded and slowly followed.
Goku ran over to Sanzo and tugged at his sleeve, "hey, hey Sanzo! Can they come with us?! Can they?" he asks begging.
Sanzo hit Goku to get him off of his arm, "yeah whatever, but the first time they slow us down even a bit. We're leaving them" Goku grinned victoriously and ran up to us.
"You guys can join us! You can join us!" he said jumping up and down like a hyper child. Lindsay looked like Christmas had come early and jumped up and down with them. "Can we go now? Since we have permission to go with them?" Lindsay asked.
Slowly I gave in, " I better not regret this later..." Lindsay and Goku gave another cheer and ran around like idiots. I sighed, knowing this was going to be a long adventure. Why me?
