Silently the rare Ashurri monkey cat stalked her prey once more, darting bush to bush and keeping a low profile. The unexpected prey walked through the forest humming and walking with her backpack slung over her shoulder. 'Tee hee I'm gonna get her...' She stopped and looked over her shoulder silently, I didn't move and kept still in the new bush I had hopped into. She shook her head and didn't say a word before going down the forest path once again. I smiled and looked at Goku who was in a tree a few feet away. We were suppose to be helping Kimiko look for some herbs, she was stocking up on medicine. Instead of walking and looking for a plant, Goku and I decided to have some fun. Fun meaning sneak off so Kim would have to look for us and then do the super Ashurri and Goku tag team move that we had made up in five seconds. I silently looked on the ground and placed my index finger in some mud then drew two lines on my right and left cheek with it. I looked at the prey as she kept walking and then at Goku, making hand signals. He nodded in responce and we both dashed out of the hiding places, running on all fours. Kimiko looked over her shoulder and then her eyes grew wide before running away from us, I laughed and then Goku and I ran faster after her. It was funny, like off of scary movies we waited until the last possible minute to catch our victims.

"GLOMPAGE ATTACK"! yelled Goku and I as we glomped Kimiko. She stumbled forward a bit from our weight and then fell to the ground. She sighed and lifted her head up from the dirt then brushed a smudge of dust off her forehead. She shot a look at us which chilled your blood, but we simply gave her a innocent care-free look. I laughed and then rolled off Kimiko with Goku before helping her up and muttering a 'sorry'. She got up and then brushed the dirt off of her clothes and placed her hands on her hips before turning to us. Goku and I gave her a small smile.

"We are suppose to be looking for a herb you two" she stated.

"We're lookin' but we decided to have fun while doin' it"! said Goku brightly, I nodded.

"So what are the others doing"? I asked while walking over to some tall grass and moving some of it out of the way to look for the herb.

Kimiko kneeled next to me and started to help while Goku went on the opposite side of the path and was looking near tree's. 'Damn herbs are hard to find'. Hmm... a rock... a slug... a leave... no herb... "Well Sanzo and Hakkai we gone so I think they went shopping, and Gojyo said something about seeing some girl".

'Aha! I knew it, its probably that waitress he saw'! Suddenly a sharp chirp was heard, I looked around trying to figure out where it came from. It sounded like a... 'kyuu'? Did Hakuryuu follow us or something? I looked up toward the sky, no Hakuryuu... Kimiko looked at me and then we both looked at Goku, another 'kyuu' was heard and we turned our attention to a tree with a hole in it. 'What the heck'?...

I silently leaned against a building that was right next to the resturant, my eyes closed and I listened silently as villagers shopped at the local market and children run pass playing. 'Dang it... we have to leave in one day' I could hear footsteps approaching and then my feelers twitched a bit. I opened my eyes and saw Lynto walking toward me from her apartment and smiling. She didn't wear the waitress uniform anymore, she now wore a black tanktop with some tan pants. I rose my hand up a bit and waved at her while slowly strolling over. She took my hand and then led me into the resturant. 'Well... maybe before I leave I could say goodbye'. We sat down at a table and we started to talk, she was easy to talk to and she gave you the impression that you could tell her anything. The waiter walked over and set down the menu's and we ordered something to drink. She took a sip of the tea that she ordered and then gazed out the window, I turned my head and looked out the window as well. It was now raining and I hadn't even noticed, this was exactly my point... you could talk to her and forget about everything else going around you. Thunder boomed from over head and lighting flashed. Villagers hurridly ran to somewhere dry or to their homes to get out of the rain, and stands that sold things outside closed down. A cold breeze flew in from the open window before a waiter closed it and then walked back to great some soaking wet villagers at the door. Lynto rested her chin on the palm of her hand and watched as the rain fell from the grey sky outside.

"Cold rain... its my favorite type of weather" She stated.

'Rain is alright... as long as I stay away from Sanzo though, Sanzo can get pissy when it rains'. Not many people were in the resturant, just us and two other people who sat at the bar. We were sitting at a table in the corner near the window, I folded my arms on the table and watched as the rain continued to fall and hit the dirt outside.

"So are you new to the village... or just... traveling"? asked Lynto.

I turned my head and looked at her, "I'm going west with some people... we will be leaving tomorrow".

She gave a soft 'ah' before nodding and looking down at the tea cup in her hands... "Well thanks for helping me last night with those drunk idiots" she said.

I smiled a bit, "No problem".

I took out a cigarette and put it inbetween my lips before lighting it and taking a drag, "So do you live alone in your apartment or do you have a roomate"?

"No roomate.. I haven't lived with anyone scince my parents died when I was thirteen" she stated a bit of sulleness in her voice, sad that no one was living with her at the moment.

I nodded silently, "Its alright I've lived on my own once" I said.

She looked up at me, "You have.. What happend"? she asked.

I flicked a bit of ash off my cigarette and it landed in the ashtray. "Ah.. my step mother she.. died and my half brother left, the whole family thing wasn't for me I guess. Sometimes its just easier to live alone, ya know".

She smiled a bit at me and nodded, "Yeah but sometimes its good to live with people, keeps you from being all alone" she said.

I laughed lightly, "Touche, yeah your right Lyn".

She blinked a bit and smiled a bit more, I looked at her confused for a moment before realized that I called her Lyn instead of Lynto. "Lyn, ha you called me by my nickname what are the odds... Hmm now do I get to call you Go Go"!

'Go Go, ha that's a funny nickname but original' "Maybe..."

She laughed, "No maybe, you called me Lyn and you can call me that as long as I can call you Go Go".

'Okay then, as long as I can call you Lyn.. then you can call me Go Go' I thought with a smile.

Ash:So there it is!! Ooooh I wonder what was in that bush?..

Kim:-Raises hand- Oooh ooh! I know! I know!

Ash:Ah ah ah, no spoilers..

Lyn:Aww that was so cute! TT I want to go with Go Go!

Ash:You might just do that Lyn...

Lyn:REALLY?! -Super excited face-

Ash:Mmmmmmaaaaayyybbbbeeeee...

Sanzo:-Rubs temples-Will you three shut up?

Ash:-Pouts- Make us San San.

Sanzo:-Points gun at Ashurri- Do you want to die?..

Hakkai:-Laughs nervously-Now now Sanzo calm down.

Gojyo:-Yelling at Goku-You dumb tiny chimp!

Goku:-Yelling at Gojyo-You pervy stinkin' watersprite!

Lyn, Ash, and Kim:Uh... -Watches fight-.

Hakkai:-Sighs- You two...

Sanzo:Ashurri doesn't own saiyuki or its characters, Saiyuki belongs to Kazuya Minekura. Lynto, Ashurri, and Kimiko are real.
