Bolded text means Emphasizing


Chapter 2

Angela is awoken to someone shaking her.

"Angela. Wake up. We have to get ready to go." She opens herr eyes to see Hakkai smiling at her and starts to blush.

"What time is it?"

"7. Why?" Gojyo said packing up his sleeping bag.

"Oh, it's just it seems earlier. That's all." She said smiling and helping Hakkai pack up.

"Let's go! Now!" Sanzo said as he climbed into a jeep.

"Where'd the jeep come from?" Angela asked staring at it.

"That's Hakuryu." Goku said jumping into the car.

"You named your jeep Hakuryu?" She asked confused.

"No. Hakuryu is the dragon you saw on my shoulder." Hakkai said while laughing a little and then got into the drivers seat.

"Hey! You coming Angela!?" Gojyo yelled from the back seat.

"Yeah , coming." She walked to the jeep. "Where should I sit?"

"Right here next to me and the monkey." Gojyo said patting a seat in between him and Goku.

"Hey, you stupid kappa don't call me monkey!"

"Make me! Baka saru!"

"Quiet unless you have a death wish!" Sanzo said as he hit both of them in the head with his paper fan.

"Oww!" Goku and Gojyo yelled at the same time.

Angela climbs in between Goku and Gojyo and all five of them start the long journey west.

"Angela who's Orion?" Goku asked as he stared at her questioningly. Gojyo turned his head to face Angela as she answered. Sanzo and Hakkai just keep their face turned forward as they acted like they didn't care, but listened.

"How do you know that name?" Angela asked as she looked down at her feet.

"You were talking in your sleep and you said Orion. So who is he?" Goku asked again waiting and wanting her answer.

"My brother." As she said this a single tear rolled down the side of her cheek.

"You stupid monkey! You made her cry! Say you're sorry Goku!"

"Angela I'm sorry! Angela?" But Angela couldn't hear Goku's apology because she was to deep in her thoughts.

'As hard as I try to forget about the past it seems as if I can't escape. "You'll always have me with you Angela." "West... Always head west Angela. For that is where I'll be waiting for you. In the setting sun." Orion. I will see you again...'

"Angela. Are you ok?" Gojyo asked as he put his hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah I'm fine." Angela turned and smiled at him.

"Well, I can see the town. When we get there we'd better check into an Inn first then get something to eat." Hakkai said as he turned around and smiled at her. An she smiled right back.

"Uhh…Hakkai?" Gojyo asked slowly and worried.

"Yes Gojyo?" Hakkai smiled as he shut his eyes.

"Shouldn't you be facing the ROAD!?" Gojyo yelled as everyone else soon realized what was happening.

"Hakkai! Watch where you're driving!!!" Sanzo gabbed the steering wheel as Hakkai turned back around.

"Hehe. Sorry about that." Hakkai said laughing nervously as he placed one hand behind his head.
