Banri

Sanzo and Goku glared at the figure across the table beside Gojyo. It was Gojyo's old friend; in fact it was his old roommate before Hakkai came into the picture. He had a pretty colorful language and seemed to get along quite well with Gojyo, but it was only with Gojyo. Sanzo and Goku disliked that Banri made every advance on Hakkai. Banri was even close to placing his hands on her bottom until he started laughing at Goku restraining Sanzo. Goku didn't want to let Sanzo get all the glory in murdering Banri.

"Well I gotta bounce. I'll see ya around," Banri waved at Gojyo. "And you too." He winked at Hakkai. She only smiled her business smile.

Gojyo escorted his friend out of their room. They had a few laughs again before Banri actually left the inn.

"Yo!" Banri turned back to Gojyo. "Even though that girl is such a tight ass, she's really a looker."

Gojyo smiled. "Just look after yourself, dickhead."

"Hey, if you don't get her, I'll snatch her." Banri saluted to Gojyo and took his leave.

Gojyo walked into the room. It was only Hakkai at the table with a furrowed eyebrow. She didn't even bother to greet him when he sat in front of her. Hakkai was too busy fuming over the idiot who invited himself in their lives for a brief moment.

"Oh, Gojyo," Hakkai sat up finally noticing him. "Goku and Sanzo went to the communal bath."

Gojyo laughed and lit a new cigarette. "So he still annoys you?"

"I don't understand how you lived with him!" Hakkai complained. He could see a vein popping out. "He hasn't changed at all."

Gojyo laughed. "Banri ain't so bad. He may run away from time to time. But deep down, he's a good guy."

Hakkai was still vexed. "I know he is. He feels the resentment towards youkai and that's the reason why he's like that. But, I still can't help but feel some antagonism against him."

Gojyo laughed again placing a hand on her shoulder. "Cool it Hakkai. You'll get wrinkles just like Sanzo!
