Here's the other part to this rather spontaneous story of mine! ^_^
Well I'm probably starting to lose my touch in this chapter but I'm trying my hardest ^_^ After all I'm only young... believe me -.-
Gojyo: Aria-chaaaaan!
Me: How the hell did you find out my Japanese name? O_o
Goku: You know it's pretty easy to translate your name into a Japanese name.
Me: Well... *blush* Be quiet! I'm far from Japanese, okay!
Sanzo: Waaay far.
Me: Don't remind me... -,-
Hakkai: Oh you're fine the way you are Aria-chan. ^_^
Me: You're so kind Hakkai! You're like the brother I will probably never have! T.T
Hakkai: I'm always here for you Aria-chan! ^_^
I struggled to contain in my surprise.
'What did he just say?' A shaky breath finally came out from my mouth.
There was just no way anyone else could have already knew. This stuff is very top secret but I guess I'm proven wrong. Realization struck me once again, one of them is a Sanzo priest. Of course...
The legend states of a young warrior who sealed up that dreadful demon into his death but and ever since then the world was at peace, that was until someone found out how to revive him.
And that was probably all I knew, but of course a Sanzo priest would know some more of the details, the Chakra on his forehead apperantley denotes his closeness to god therefore he could gain access to more information about that demon's revival. I'm pretty sure his name was... Gyumaoh.
But what about the other three with him? Did they have any sort of connection to Buddhism?
I doubted it, they had a pervert, a little kid with them and an overly-kind man with them.
It didn't make any sense at all...
But I could tell they at least had some sort of past with each other, they couldn't have just met like that and start calling each other nicknames without even knowing what they're like.
I was really confused now...
"Who are you people?" As soon as I had uttered those words the there was the loud screech of the brakes and the soft thump of back hitting the padded seats.
"Would you like to be dropped off here, Ayumi-san?" Hakkai's voice was more hollow this time, it still sounded kind yet it seemed to have been forced.
Silence followed soon followed as the atmosphere grew thin once more.
"Please... Tell me." I said in a soft tone trying not to sound forceful or desperate.
Everything happened so fast, one minutes I was sitting on the seat of a jeep and the next I was back on my feet with four men standing around me with indifferent looks on their faces.
"And what do you plan on doing if we told you our true purpose?" Sanzo asked.
"..." I looked up from the ground but soon replaced my expression with another one of my usual frowns.
Even though I had a seemingly strong look on my face I still had no words to accompany it.
I couldn't tell if they were being intimidating or what but the looks they gave me sure were strong, like it could pierce a hole through me any time soon.
We were all in the middle of a forest, the night was cold, I had to reach and hug the brown cloak to my body, my long hair being carried along with the steady wind. I casted my eyes downwards again, this is useless.
If these people are going to make it difficult as it already is I'm probably just wasting my time, besides. This was supposed to be a one man's job, meaning only me! They trusted me enough to handle this on my own.
I knew my only aim was to gather more information to send up to the company so they could do some research on it but this whole journey opened so much for me. I found out quite a lot of stuff about me that I never really noticed and in some way has molded me into someone even stronger and independent. While I was in Japan the team I worked with was very powerful, especially with someone from such clan.
But even though I too was from a strong family my teammates still treated me as if I was not their equal, as if I was only slightly below them. But now with this request made by the boss himself it was about time I showed my true strength.
"You know..." I murmured softly taking another pause before raising my head high up towards them a slightly over the top arrogant look on my face, I wasn't sure but I could kinda tell they were a little taken aback by my sudden show of confidence.
"It doesn't matter," I went on placing a hand over my hip. "Even though we're on the same journey that doesn't mean It's not impossible to get the information myself."
I'm not wasting anymore time.
"Huh?"
"So I guess I'll be on my way now," I gave them a courteous bow of the head and with a swish of my coat I managed to use an old family technique and vanished behind the shadows of the trees. I knew it wasn't a very professional of me to just exit like that, they did save me from a large mob after all.
But that pretty much taught me to never let my feelings of gratitude and such get in the way of my work, I was here for a very important mission and I'm just not about to give up like that!

"What was that all about?" Gojyo asked blinking at the direction she left in.
Sanzo merely shrugged and lit another cigarette, "Who knows. Anyway, that's nothing of importance now. We should get going to their neighboring town or we're gonna be camping out again."
"Ah, dammit!"
"Ne, Hakkai." Goku called beside the demon.
"Hm?"
"She seemed pretty serious about her job, don't you think?" He said looking up towards the other male who blinked back at him for a moment before giving him an agreeing nod and a smile.
"She's just like Sanzo though. Right?" He joked with a suppressed chuckle.
"What did you say about me!?" The priest growled.
They all laughed.
Me: I really sucked at this chapter... I guess I was just being lazy. Ahaha
Sanzo: Hmph.
Gojyo: Aww, is the all mighty Sanzo feeling a little grumpy today?
Sanzo: Shut up, I'll kill you.
Gojyo: I Love you too, Sanzo. *Grins*
Sanzo: *Shoots random bullets at him* I'll kill him... I'll kill him...
Me: ^.^' Ahaha... please calm down Sanzo or you'll be paying for the damages you do to this house.
Sanzo: Whatever...
Goku: What's gotten into you anyway, Sanzo? Why the bad mood?
Sanzo: *Grumbles*
Gojyo: He's got PMS *Laughs*
Me: O.O
Sanzo: !!!! I'll kill you!!!
Hakkai: *chuckles* My everyone is so lively today. *Smiles*
