Rem: A Super Gaenourmous "Thank you" to Ookami Aya! The only person to review my silliness. You so rock!
-ahem- In all seriousness I don't own any copyrighted caracters that I place or refer to in this fan fiction. I do however have Kai and Nana's souls trapped in my camera.
Note from the author: I'm so incredibly sorry it took me 6 months to update. I'll be sure to get my lazy butt in gear… tomorrow.
Remember that there's a review option on the bottom left hand of the page. USE IT! er … pwetty pweeze? come on, you know you can resist the puppy face
-Episode after the last one... Separated???
Kai and Gojyo rounded a corner and ran smack into Hakkai and Gojyo.
"Did you find anything?" Kai and Hakkai asked in unison.
Gojyo leaned nonchalantly against a nearby tan colored building and puffed away on his cancer stick. Goku was everywhere, looking under flower pots, carts, and Gojyo who knuckled the poor chimp in the head.
The crimson haired cockroach sauntered up to Kai and Hakkai. Totally butting into they're strategizing. "I say we leave her." Gojyo announced over Goku's indignant shouts that he should be helping with the search.
Kai's wakizashi emerged from her billowing dark clothing. She hooked him around the neck with it and slammed him face first into the packed dirt of the road. "Hn." [Translation: No one's asking you, so shut up.
Hakkai surpressed a chuckle whilst Goku busted a gut.
Goku stopped laughing at said cockroach's misfortune and sighed. "I hope we find Rem soon." He looked at the sun overhead. It's going to be getting late… what if we don't find her by dark?"
Hakkai opened his mouth to reassure the little guy but a ruckus to the left stole his thunder. Two very pissy blonds where shouting curses and insults back and forth as they stalked up to the prearranged rendezvous point.
"Shut up." Nana commanded just before slamming the stalk of her war hammer into his mouth.
Sanzo stumbled back mumbling hot curses through his hand. Blood trickled through his fingers but only Goku seemed to care.
"No luck on your end I take it." Nanashi stated flatly after a quick visual assessment of the other members in their little search party.
They shook their heads in confirmation.
Sanzo recovered from his earlier blow and knocked Nana into a cluster of barrels with his idiot fan. "Well good riddens." He growled.
Nana stood up from the barrel corpses and pointed an accusational finger at him. "Pancakes, omelets, Rabbit stew." She enunciated each word carefully, insulting his intelligence. The glare she sent with her words caught the edges of the barrel shrapnel on fire.
Sanzo's face darkened and his body tensed. But the Stubborn priest refused to say anything.
"So you won't miss Rem-chan's cooking at all?" Hakkai goaded his smile though unchanging suddenly looked almost sadistic.
A vein in his neck pulsed. "Damn you both." He mumbled turning and stalking away. "We'll keep looking for the good for nothing wench."
Everyone shared glances and suppressed chuckles and other such comments that would drive the corrupted priest into a more impossible mood.
--Elsewhere—
Rem squelched the blood flow on her head with her left hand while wiping tears out of her gold brown eyes with the other. All the glass of the store fronts and the canopies over the out door vendors melted into each other. Even the smells intertwined into one unrecognizable reek that made it hard to find her way out of the massive market she'd found herself in.
She didn't remember running that far, but she hadn't seen this place while wandering around either.
"Are you ok?" A gruff voice behind her made her nearly jump out of her skin.
Looking up she saw a really tall broad man bending over her. He had dark spiky hair and an odd tattoo that started on his forehead and extended down to cross the bridge of his nose. She sniffed a few times before responding. "Yeah. I was just…"
"Oh my gosh, are you alright!" The woman Rem had met earlier was running up to her and the burly man.
"Yaone, you know her?" The man asked, totally at a loss.
Rem took it as her opportunity to slink away. Something snagged her by the shirt collar and hoisted her off the ground by a good 4 inches. Letting out a startled shriek she began flailing. "Lass mich frei!" She hollered as she tried to dislodge the man's hand from her clothing.
"Dokugakuji, don't be so rough with her." Yaone chided softly.
Rem got tired of flailing and hung like a human coat. "Yeah… what she said." She pouted pitifully.
Everyone turned to regard some one down the street. Venders chattered to each other some frightened and others in awe.
The miscommunicating trio turned to see what was causing such a buzz. It was the white wall Rem had run into earlier. A tanned man, lithe and muscular, with girly nails and hair, his ears were pointed and weird stripes marked his face.
He walked up to them with little emotion and took in the odd scene as if nothing were out of the ordinary. His crimson eyes met Rem's as he said. "I caught the rabit." The flatness in the way he said it almost made Dokugakuji fall over.
Rem blinked back at the man in white, slowly brought her hands up to her eyes, and started crying.
Dokugakuji dropped the siren and covered his ears. "She's broke." He exclaimed.
"If I'm broke it's your fault." Rem sobbed.
Dokugakuji looked at the man in white. His eyes desperate and his face twisted in agony. "Kou, you're a big brother. Do something!"
-- Back at the Search parties rendezvous point--
As Nana started ordering Sanzo around a sound pierced the air. Kai's black cat ears laid back flat against her head and she hissed. Goku fell down and was howling at someone to make it stop, whilst the other three tried popping their ears by opening and closing their mouths like giant bass.
"Rem's crying." Nana muttered, her face scrunched into a nasty frown as she glared at some unknown point.
Kai's ears perked. "Hurry up guys, its fading!" She shouted taking off down the nearest north facing alley.
The search party rounded countless corners, dodged a carriage, and was attacked by a flock of geese before they made it to the place Rem had been.
A pool of blood next to a vender's stall drew their attention.
--Le-Gasp!—
Rem licked her icecream while fidgeting with the bandage on her head.
"What?! The rabbit did that to her head?! She didn't just smash into something while chasing it?!" Dokugakuji exclaimed.
Kougaiji nodded solemnly.
"Thought rabbits were herbivores." Yaone reached over Rem and stilled the hand that was tugging at the bandage on her head.
"They are." Rem said tears forming at the corners of her eyes. She sniffed pitifully. "They just don't like me." She said her bottom lip quivering.
Dokujakuji covered his ears and screwed his eyes shut in preparation for the crying that never came. Opening one eye he saw the amused smile on the girl's face.
"I like you guys." She said taking a bite out of the cone that held her icecream. "You don't fight all the time."
--Speaking of which—
Sanzo, Goku, and Gojyo sneezed in unison.
"Well that was odd." Hakkai said with his indestructible smile. "Some one must be thinking of you."
"Who in their right mind would do that?" Kai mumbled kicking at the dusty street.
Silence permeated through the search party for a moment. Each trapped in their own thoughts.
"I'm going to ring her scrawny little neck when I find her!" Sanzo suddenly ranted, his entire body stiffened and his eyes darkened under the long bangs of his blond hair.
Nana tilted her body and side kicked the priest in the temple. "That's my job." She muttered as he flew through the air, looking to all the world like a white flag.
Sanzo skidded across the ground and flipped himself up into a standing position. He shot Nana the bird and shouted a string of incoherent profanities.
"Hn." Kai grunted walking passed him. [translation: Shouting won't tilt things in your favor moron.
Gojyo glanced down at the strange glittery text hovering around the ground. Raising an eyebrow he picked up the author's magical translation notes and looked them over. "Hey, this is handy."
Out of nowhere the Authoress' hand appeared and ripped the translation notes from him. Soundly beating him over the head with them before returning to reality.
"Ha! Take that!" Nana said pointing at him. "The author doesn't like you!"
"So." The crimson haired hentai said unwaveringly. "I have a fan club with millions of hot babes." His lips twisted into an arrogant smirk and his eyes dared her to top that.
"Rock Lee has a fan base too." Kai reminded him.
The blow hit harder than either the demon cat's katana or the evil blonde's war hammer. His eyes darkened and his arrogance shriveled, shoulders slumping in defeat. "I hate you with an intense passion." He muttered, voice faltering like a boy going through puberty.
"Sanzo stop ranting and come on!" Nana shouted. "And straighten up Gojyo. The sooner we find the air head the sooner you're rid of us."
"Right!" The cockroach and the priest suddenly found their second wind. "Let's get going."
In their haste no one noticed the shadow that moved silently across the rooftops. Its bright yellow eyes intent on their every move.
Author's notes:
I'm sorry this chapter sucked so badly... It's a shameless filler to lead into something more amusing I swear!
Lass mich frei- "Let me go!" Though you probably guessed that already.
Rabbits really do hate me… I'm serious. 60 of all my flesh wounds have been caused by seemingly harmless bunnies.
Please review… even if you flame me to a crisp. I like crunchy things! 3
