Chapter 4: Friends?
After a few hours, Hakkai opened his eyes and sat down. He glanced at his 'friends' and sighed.
"We still have a long journey ahead of us…" he muttered. "Who knows what else to expect?"
Then a quiet voice answered, "Nobody knows what the future holds, Hakkai…"
Hakkai looks behind him, he sees Mia lying motionless on one side of the bed with her eyes opened.
Hakkai stood up and sat on her bed, "Mia, you're awake." he says as he brushed her hair with his fingertips.
A teardrop falls from Mia's eyes falling unto to the bed.
"Mia, what's wrong?" he asks.
Mia shrugs, "Nothing…" she replies.
"You're crying, you can't say that its nothing. Come on, you can tell me." Hakkai insists.
Mia tries to stop crying…
"Come on now, Mia."
Then Mia smiles, "I-it's nothing Hakkai…" she says firmly.
Then Goku wakes up and rubs his eyes "Haraheta…" he grumbles.
"Did you have a nice sleep, Goku?" Hakkai asks him.
Goku nods his head, "Yeah! I dreamed I was in this forest or something, and the fruits on the trees were buns!!!" he shoutes happily.
Then Sanzo got up and whacked his head with his fan, "Baka zaru! It's just one of your stupid fantasies! Next time you shout useless things and wake my sleep I will kill you!" he shouts while continously hitting Goku's head.
Hakkai smiles, then pats Mia's head and looks at her, "Just tell me your problem when your ready. I don't know what it is, but I'm always ready to listen to you." he tells her. "Okay?"
Mia smiles weakly and nods her head.
Hakkai then stands up and extends his hand to her, "Can you stand up now, Mia?"
Mia's cheeks turn pink and she tries to move her hand. But to no avail. Her body is still very weak.
"Don't rush yourself. I still need to but groceries… Again."
Then Hakkai sees a card flying towards him, he catches it.
"My cigarettes…" Sanzo grumbles.
Hakkai tosses him a pack of cigarettes, "I was only able to buy that before this troble occured." he told Sanzo.
Sanzo caught the cigarettes and took out his lighter.
Goku pulled Hakkai's sleeve, "Hakkai… " he grumbles.
Hakkai chuckles and pats his head, "Okay Goku, let's go." he says as he opens the door and walks out.
Goku follows him out and shuts the door.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Hakkai and Goku walks around the town with brown paper bags in their hands.
Then Hakkai hears Goku's growling stomach. "Grrrrowwwl!!!"
Gako sighs, "Hakkai, haraheta…" he complains.
Hakkai smiles, "Okay Goku, but we can only have a drink." says Hakkai.
Goku smiles happily, "I want juice! Fruit juice!"
"Then fruit juice we shall have." he tells Goku.
"Yaay! Thanks Hakkai!" Goku says, jumping up and down.
"Shh! But don't tell Sanzo, okay? It's our little secret." Hakkai hushes.
Goku nods his head childishly, "Yas Hakkai! It's out little secret."
Then they pass by the bar and order two glasses of orange juice. Goku finishes his in one gulp. After their drink, they head back to the inn. When they got in, they see the three sleeping.
"Minna-san, get up." Hakkai shouts.
Sanzo opens his eyes, "What took you so long?"
Hakkai smiles and opens a bag, it was full of food and gear for their trip.
Goku pulls out six buns, "Let's eat before we hit the road again."
Sanzo nods his head, "Fine…"
Mia pulls Gojyo's shirt, "Gojyo, wake up!" she tells him.
Gojyo doesn't open his eyes, he just grabs Mia and pulls him close to her and leans on the other side of the bed. Holding her in his arms.
Mia blushes furiously, "G-gojyo!"
Gojyo opens his eyes, "Oh, hey Mia." he greets her. "If you want to sleep with me, you could just ask." hetells her.
Goku kicks Gojyo's head, "Dream on horny water monster! You grabbed Mia as she tried to wake you up!" he shouts.
Gojyo stands up and glares at Goku, "Why you! Why I'll-"
"Eat quietly and quickly, unless you want your life to end quick." Sanzo warns them.
Then they all eat.
One for Goku, Hakkai, Sanzo, Gojyo, Mia and Hakuryu ( ^_^ Even pets need to eat too, right?)
Then Hakkai hands Sanzo his card.
Gojyo lies back on the bed and closes his eyes, "Now back to buissness… My sleep…"
Then Goku jumps on Gojyo's bed, "Oi! Horny Water Monster! Get up!" he shouts. "We're about to-"
But then Gojyo grabs him by the neck, "Keep your voice down you annoying baka zaru!" he shouts.
Goku gets free from his grip and bounces off the bed and sticks out his tongue. "Baka, baka horny water mons-"
Then a fan hit his head, "Urusai! Baka zaru!" says Sanzo.
"Hahaha!" Gojyo laughs. "Serves you right you baka za-"
Then a pillow hits his face.
Mia yawns, "Gojyo, your so noisy."
Hakkai laughs and sits beside Mia, "Are you okay now?"
Mia looks down, "My body is still a bit numb but I can walk." she tells him. "I'll just sleep again when we hit the road."
Without a sign, Hakkai carries Mia on his back, "Place your hands around my neck and hold on tight." he tells her.
Mia slightly blushes and does as she is told.
"Hakkai," Sanzo calls. "put her down. You've got things to carry."
Hakkai looks at Mia, "But she's still weak Sanzo."
Sanzo turns around and looks at Mia with his cold emotionless eyes. "Mia, are you weak?" he asks her.
Mia shakes her head, "No Sanzo…" she answers. "No, I'm not weak." she continues. "Hakkai, please put me down, I'll be okay." she asks.
Hakkai nods his head and kneels down so she can get off his back.
Then Hakuryu flies and lands on Goku's head, "Kyuu!"
"Hakuryu! Get off! Don't stay on my head." says Goku as he shoos Hakuryu off his head.
Hakuryu flies off and lands on Mia's shoulder.
Mia freezes, "H-hakkai? H-hakuryu's o-on my shoulder…"
Hakkai laughs, "Don't worry Mia, he doesn't bite." he tells her.
Then Sanzo goes down to pay the innkeeper.
Then they leave. Hakkai and Gojyo carrying brown paper bags. Goku assisting Mia and Hakuryu on Sanzo's shoulder. As they reach the outside of town, Hakuryu transforms to the jeep and they all get in. As Mia sat on her spot, she lied down and closed her eyes.
"Is sleeping all what kids do?" Sanzo grumbles.
Hakkai sighs, "Like what you said before Sanzo, she's just a kid."
Sanzo grumbles again.
"Ne Sanzo," Goku whispers.
"Hm? What is it Goku?" he asks coldly.
"In your dream about Mia, did you see how she helped us?" he asked.
"No…" he replied instantly.
"Not even a clue how?" he asked again.
"I said no! I don't know!" he shouts.
Goku was silenced.
"Why don't you try to rest as well, Goku?" Hakkai suggests.
Goku doesn't reply…
After a few hours…
"Sanzo…" Hakkai whispers as he tugs his robe.
"What is it Hakkai?" Sanzo asks.
He shows Sanzo the map, "There isn't supposed to be a river in front of us…"
Sanzo looks at the map, "Hakkai?"
"Hai?"
"Where did you take a turn?" he asks.
"To the left. It looks shorter." he replies with a smile.
"It is shorter but," he pauses. "we need to cross this river…" he continues.
Hakkai sweatdrops. "Eh-heh, Gomen."
Sanzo scratches his head, "But you made a better decision, if we took the right it might've taken us about two weeks before we can pass that forest." he tells him. "We just need a way to cross this river…"
The five of them get off the jeep and Hakuryu turns back to the dragon form he is.
"Even if Hakuryu flies to ther other side, he won't be able to get us across, right Hakkai?" Goku asks him.
"Yes Goku, Hakuryu can't get us to the other side either. The river is much too deep…" Hakkai whispers.
"Minna!" Gojyo shouts. "I see a long log at the other side of the river." Gojyo points out.
The four look at the direction.
"Well Gojyo, it looks long enough…" Hakkai seconds.
"But we can't cross the river, remember?" Sanzo asks in an annoying tone.
Goku laughs, "You thought of a stupid idea horny water mons-"
Gojyo grabs him by the shirt, "At least I thought of an idea you baka zaru!"
Sanzo pulls out his gun, "Maybe if your dead, your spirits could reach the other side of the river." he tells them.
Gojyo and Goku gulp.
Mia pulls Hakkai's robe, "Hakkai…" she whispers.
Hakkai looks at her, "What is it Mia?" he asks.
Then Mia whispers something to him.
"That's a great idea Mia, why don't you try it? It might work." Hakkai compliments her, patting her head.
Mia smiles, "Here I go…" she tells herself.
Then as quick as lightning she runs over the water.
Sanzo, Gojyo and Goku look in awe.
When Mia reached the other side she tries to push the log. It didn't budge. It was too heavy for her to push on her own. She changes into her other form. But as soon as she changes, she hears footsteps coming from behind her.
"Mia! Behind you!" Goku shouts.
Mia looks behind and see about nine demons. She has no choice but to fight them. She does her best and defeats them, she only got a few cuts and scratches. Not much blood loss. She tries to push the log again. She was able to push it and it reaches the others.
Sanzo and the rest started to cross.
When Sanzo reached the other side he stared at Mia. He took out his gun and aimed at her.
Mia was scared, "S-sanzo?"
"Don't move!" he shouted.
Mia looks at Hakkai, Goku and Gojyo.
They were all staring at her.
Mia turns back to her normal form and closes her eyes. A tear falls down from her eyes down to the ground…
Sanzo shoots.
It misses Mia, instead the bullet hits a demon behind her. She looks behind her and sees the demon lying on the ground. Then it vanished.
Sanzo approached her and patted her head, "Did you honestly think I'd shot you?" he asked her coldly.
Mia slowly nodded her head.
"Now why would I do that?" he asked her. "I don't shoot somebody who has an idea that actually works. No matter who that is." he explains to her. "You did great today. You used your head."
Mia smiles at him, "Thank you, Sanzo."
Hakkai approaches her and smiles.
Mia looks at him and smiles back.
He closes her wounds.
"Hakkai, let's get going." Sanzo tells Hakkai.
Hakkai nods his head and Hakuryu turns into jeep form…again.
They get on and Hakkai drove away.
"Wow Mia, where did you get that idea anyway?" Goku asked her.
Mia smiled, "I just saw it somewhere."
"Do all the people or demons where you used to stay do that?" Gojyo asked, looking at the sky.
Mia shook her head, "Nah! That isn't even possible there…" she said sadly. "It's only possible here… In fantasies…"
