"You're yokai, aren't you?"
Goku looked from the barrel of the gun, up the arm, and then rested on the face of the woman baring the weapon. Her face was oval shaped and slim, outlined by the jet black hair that was at a length that could rival Gojyo's. Her lips were set in a strait, determined line, and her blue eyes that reminded Goku of Sanzo's, stared at him with the most hatred he'd seen aimed at himself.
Before either yokai could respond in an affirmative or any other response, as they were so shocked, the woman spoke again.
"Sha Gojyo, isn't that you?" she asked, seeing the red headed man between the two yokai. The two yokai moved to the side -partialy glad for the distraction, and partially curious of how the woman knew Gojyo. "Why are you traveling with full-lings? I thought you hated yokai."
A grin appeared on Gojyo's face.
"Well times change, Higashi Kibin." Gojyo responded, "But it's nice to know I'm still recognized by women."
"Ch' yeah, it's you all right." Kibin said while lowering the gun, much to Goku's relief. "So I take it that you're looking for a place to stay for the night?"
Goku and Hakkai nodded their heads, causing Kibin to look at them skeptically, as if daring them to make her shut the door in their faces.
"Yeah, and a meal would be nice." the crimson eyed man said, before he would be traveling with a monk and two dead yokai.
Kibin nodded her head at Gojyo's words and stepped aside for them to come into the inn. "I've got five empty rooms, and the best I can give you is two thirds price."
"Acceptable." Sanzo said, causing another scalding look from Kibin.
"Oh, and Ki, This is Sanzo," Gojyo said, pointing to the monk who gave the halfling a glare. "this is Hakkai, and this is baka salu Goku." He finished off the introductions pointing to Hakkai and Goku respectively.
Kibin nodded her head and lead them upstairs.
"These are your rooms." she said, pointing to two rooms on one side of the hall and two on the other. "Dinner'll be ready in about 30 minutes, but the cook's a bit off her rocker, so don't come down before then." She said as she left them in the hallway to figure out which room was whose.
More so, she left the two yokai and monk wondering how she knew Gojyo. This was the farthest west any of them had been, right?

Author's notes: Okay! Another short one! I'm sorry that one took so long to get out -school just started back up. I know that's not much of a cliffhanger, but it's not meant to be, and you should be glad! ^_^ Ri~ight? Well you are, aren't you? Please tell me if you are! ^_^ and if you're not, well... please let me know that you read it!
Name Note: Hagashi Kibin, the name of the woman that recognizes Gojyo, means Agile East (Kibin=agile, Hagashi=east) [don't worry, none of the plot is revealed by her name's meaning ^_^]
