XxBloodyRiverxX: Haha, well of course Hakkai is perfect for that job. I don't think Goku knows about anything but food, Sanzo would be grouchy, and Gojyo…he knows a little too much.

Sakura02:….and now I'm picturing Meika running around screaming that.

Thank you: i love athrun, krystal, cheeky half-demon, H-Dawg-luvs-anime, FMASaiyukiFanatic, Princess de la Luna, nsomniacartist, and Treia for reviewing.

I really don't want to seem rude guys but I just want to get this out: please do NOT advertise other stories when you review one of mine. If there is a story you want me to read, then please pm it to me. Otherwise, it just seems like you're using a review for my story to advertise and that bothers me. Again, please don't think I'm being rude and thank you!

"Meika, you have to order something besides cake. You need to get something with vegetables." Hakkai said firmly.

"But, I don't wanna." Meika pouted. She looked pleadingly at Gojyo. "JoJo, do I have to?"

Gojyo looked away. "Don't make those eyes at me. You know how guilty they make me feel."

"You will eat something healthy, damnit." Sanzo hissed.

"Only if GoGo does too!" Meika pointed her fork accusingly at where Goku was eyeing the full list of various meat buns.

"You too, damn monkey." Sanzo glared at Goku.

Meika frowned as she watched a man groping a purple haired woman. "JoJo, that man's touching that lady inappropriately."

Gojyo looked over his shoulder and frowned. He picked the ashtray off their table and threw it at the back of his head. He quickly turned back around. "That better, Meika?"

Meika beamed. "Thank you, JoJo. I'll eat my vegetables since you helped that lady." She jumped up and down in her seat. "Hey, miss, we're really hungry! Can you come take our order?"

Hakkai gently whapped Meika on the back of her head. "Say please, Meika." He smiled warmly at the woman. "I'm terribly sorry. She has better manners than that, I promise. Now for our order…"

The woman stood there in awed silence as Hakkai listed off everything the group. She smiled nervously. "Will that be all?"

"Ah, we'll need an ashtray." Gojyo grinned.

"I don't like it when you guys smoke." Meika crinkled her nose in distaste. "It smells gross." She smiled brightly at their waitress. "Can I have some chocolate milk, please?"

A few minutes later, the woman returned with the order. Meika squealed happily as the cup of chocolate milk was placed in front of her. "Thank you!" She gulped the milk and only paused when she heard the woman scream again. She frowned when she heard the waitress scream again. "JoJo, those men are picking on the nice lady again."

Gojyo sighed. "Hey, dude, do you need another ashtray to the head?"

"That was you!?" The man snarled and kicked their table over.

Meika sat in her seat in utter shock. Her chocolate milk was spilled all over her dress. "M-My…chocolate…milk." Meika scrunched her face up and began to sniffle before bawling.

"You made my MeiMei cry and ruined our food!" Goku shouted. "That's unforgivable!"

Hakkai sat beside Meika and attempted to calm the wailing child down. "There, there. Will get you some more milk."

"B-But it messed up the dress Shunrei-san gave me." Meika rubbed at her eyes furiously. She noticed that the purple haired woman was sitting on the floor looking completely lost. She hopped off her chair and went over to the woman, her tears still falling. "What's wrong, Miss?"

The woman looked at her for a moment. "Your group is very…different."

Meika smiled through her tears. "Yeah. ZoZo and the others are pretty amazing. What's your name, Miss?"

"Oh…I'm Yaone." Yaone looked thoughtfully at Meika. "Why are you crying...um…?"

"I'm Meika. The guy ruined the pretty dress Shunrei-san gave me." Meika looked sadly down at the chocolate milk dripping from her pretty dress.

"I'm sorry." Yaone pulled a small handkerchief out of her apron pocket and gently dabbed at the stain. She paused for a moment before slowly retracting her hand.

"You guys are going to ruin my restaurant!" The owner wailed. "If you're going to fight, please do it the proper way."

Meika blinked as a table was brought out and bottles of alcohol and glasses were placed in front of each man. "What're they going to do? Can I play?"

Yaone quickly picked the small girl up before she could try and join in the game. "They're doing a drinking game and you may not join. You are much too young."

Meika pouted before noticing the golden bracelets on Yaone's wrist. "Those are really pretty..." She smiled and patted Yaone's cheek when she noticed the worried look on the woman's face. "Don't worry, Yaone-san. Even if GoGo, ZoZo, and JoJo get knocked out, HaHa will win no matter what. He's the best drinker in the world."

Yaone smiled sadly. "You seem very fond of all of them."

Meika grinned. "Of course! They're my family and they saved me! If it weren't for them, I'd be dead! I love all them so much! They're my most precious people!" She looked inquisitively at Yaone. "Do you have someone like that, Yaone-san?"

"Yes…" Yaone answered. "I must ask you to forgive me, Meika-chan. I think if we had met under different circumstances, we could have been good friends." Yaone placed the small girl on the ground.

Before Meika could ask her what she was talking about, a strange mist filled the air. On instinct more than anything, she held her breath and covered her nose. She quickly ran over to Hakkai and hid behind him.

"It's only a sleeping medicine." Yaone said as she approached Hakkai and Meika, the two only conscious people besides herself.

Hakkai placed a comforting hand on Meika's trembling shoulder. "You did this?"

"Yaone-san, why are you doing something so mean?" Meika sniffled out.

Yaone remained silent as she removed the golden bracelets from her wrist. Her ears became pointed and her nails grew longer. She removed her waitress outfit to reveal a much more…revealing and battle oriented one. "I am Yaone, one of Lord Kougaiji's assassins. I'm afraid all of your group must die here, Hakkai-san."

Hakkai smiled. "Now, surely you wouldn't hurt little Meika. She's a good girl and has done nothing to deserve such a harsh punishment." He quickly pushed Meika out of the way as Yaone attacked him.

Meika followed the two outside as they continued to fight. She stood nervously behind Yaone. She screamed as she felt a hand on her shoulder. She whipped around and sighed in relief when she saw it was only Sanzo. "ZoZo, Yaone-san is working for that Kougaiji guy and she's trying to kill HaHa!"

She looked up when she heard Yaone screaming at Hakkai and saw the knife Yaone was holding to her own throat. Meika ran over to stand beside Hakkai. "Please, Yaone-san, don't hurt yourself! What about your precious person? Won't they be sad if you hurt yourself?"

"I've failed him!" Yaone cried. "My life is useless now!"

Meika screamed as a wind suddenly whipped up. She looked up in time to see A very beautiful male youkai leap onto the roof with Yaone in his arms. She scrutinized him carefully as Yaone identified the man as Kougaiji. She took in his long red hair and his piercing violet eyes. Her eyes widened in realization. "Kou-san!"

Kougaiji looked at the young girl for a moment before he inclined his head. "You've grown since I last saw you. Have you gotten lost anymore?"

Meika blushed. He was much prettier than she remembered him being. "N-No."

Kougaiji appraised the group carefully. "I didn't realize you were traveling with the Sanzo group as well. I've merely come to retrieve my subordinate for now." He turned his back to leave.

"Hey, why don't you stick around and play for a while?" Goku grinned as he attempted to attack Kougaiji.

Meika watched in awe as Kougaiji easily deflected every attack the Sanzo group sent his way. She noticed Sanzo climbing up the building Kougaiji was on and decided to follow him. She grinned at the annoyed look he gave her. As soon as they reached the top, she went straight to Yaone and pulled on her skirt.

Yaone blinked in surprise and looked down at the small girl. "What are you doing up here, Meika-chan?"

Meika beckoned Yaone down to her level. When said youkai was close enough, Meika lightly slapped her cheek. "Don't do that again. You can't try and hurt yourself like that. It'll upset your precious people like Kou-san."

Kougaiji glanced at Sanzo. "You've got a smart little girl there."

Sanzo raised an eyebrow. "You want her?"

Kougaiji chuckled. "No. She seems rather attached to all of you. Until next time." Before he disappeared, he reached out and ruffled Meika's hair.

Sanzo had to physically carry Meika down from the roof as she seemed in a slight daze. "Oi, Hakkai, what's wrong with it?"

Hakkai chuckled as he noticed Meika's reddened cheeks and dreamy eyes. "I believe our little Meika is in love with Kougaiji."

"What!?" Gojyo yanked Meika away from Sanzo and held her close to him. "No! My beautiful baby can't be in love with him! Snap out of it right now, young lady!"
