A/N: Hah! Chapter four! Yes!! Ahahaha! (I think I'm losing my coconuts ~_~;;) Don't mind me. I'm just happy I got this out despite my being busy ^^

Kyaa! Echizen Ryoma-sama is SO kakoii!!! _ Aishiteru chibi!! Kawaii!! *cheers* You'd look SO perfect with Tezuka XD

Anyway, I'll have to dedicate this one to the constant reviewers especially to Gokugurl ^_^;; (Hai hai, anatawa gaki janai, or so you say. Jk, of course not ^^ you're too angsty to be considered as a gaki, chibi neko *cuddles* ^_^)

Here's chap 4 for you ^^;

Chapter 4: The Chase part 3: Hakkai and Gojyo part 2: Brains and Brawns
Shit. Looks like I have to resort to something else then.

Just as the 6th ki blast was thrown at him, he pulled out his *drum roll* Smith and Wesson ^_^ (A/N: Gomen. Can't help it. Just adore that kawaii kenju ^0^) before disappearing into the cloud of a mess Hakkai was making while destroying practically every piece of nature's goodness with his attacks. Hakkai's brows furrowed.

He disappeared.! Nani??!

He sharply turned his head around in time to save himself from being blasted away where he would definitely meet Buddha. Though he had no time to muse over what might have happened because he quickly found himself on the receiving edge of what seemed to be bullet shots accurately aimed at him despite the accumulating thick dust in the air. But if they were normal bullet shots then what's with the long energy trail that he sees accompanying it and the disastrous explosions ^^;;?

" Mudana. Just stay still and end this. I have work to do." Came the voice from behind him once more. He jumped up in an instant and managed to save himself but not without a bullet gash on his left arm that was now bleeding in amounts not so minimal. Hakkai immediately turned around to face his opponent when the dusty fog started to clear away, revealing the man in black who was casually pointing his gun at him.

Dame da. If he shoots now, I have nowhere to run! What's with his gun anyway??

As if reading his thoughts, bored violet eyes looked into his emerald ones and spoke. "By now you should have noticed that this isn't a normal gun."

".Aa."

"It's a spirit ascending gun and I won't hesitate to use it against you if you persist into fighting me."

"Spirit ascending gun?? Wuso! Only a priest can have that along with the sut-wait a minute-you're.??"

The man in black rolled his eyes. "Oh goody. So what? I took a side profession before as a priest, okay! Don't ask!"

"B-but only a SANZO can have those!!"

"Well duh! I trained for 5 years and got the part."

"5 years??! People have to dedicate 40 years of their lives just to be a candidate to become a Sanzo!! 0_0;;"

"Can I help it if I'm that good and charismatic? *grins*" (A/N: I *know* Sanzo-sama will NEVER say this and flaunt his bishi-ness but if he does it's a good time to melt, ne? :P)

Hakkai's jaw dropped 5 ft. to the ground.

------

Hakkai: Is *that* our Sanzo-sama??????!!

Gojyo: This can't be happening! That bouzo's head will become bigger!

Sanzo: Urusai!! *thwack*

Gojyo: @_@

M-i: Doushite?

Gojyo: Gimme that! *struggles to get the keyboard* You're going to create havoc!!

M-i: Yaaa! *tugs keyboard* Hanashite!! I'm not yet done!

Hakkai: Maa maa 0_^ It's a nice day today, ne?

M-i: Shaddap _

Hakkai: Hai hai *sweatdrop*

Gojyo: Give me the damn keyboard!!

M-i: IYADA!! IF YOU DON'T STOP HARASSING ME I'LL NEVER LET YOU GET NEAR HAKKAI WITHIN 50 METERS IN THIS FIC!!!

Silence.

Hakkai: *blushes*

M-i: I knew you'd see it my way ^_^.

------

His eyes immediately narrowed and using the advantage that the other was distracted, he disappeared once again in amazing speed, reappearing behind the brunette.

"It's a waste to let you die. Though I can't afford to have somebody chasing up behind me."

With that, he took out his dandy harisen (A/N: I don't know where he keeps it!! And no, he is not in his robes remember?), thwacked the poor man in the head and the other, obviously, fell into la-la land.

" Ch' Now that's over with~"

His gaze fell on the only path where the others might have went with the prince, and so, sparing a minute no more, followed it in haste.

MeanwhileXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Hmm.Up here.then a spin.Obviously two master swordsmen and something more."

Jumping from the rocks, the prince of Florin narrowed his eyes into slits as he looked beyond the dusty trail. "The loser wakes up, heads off.and the winner."

"Shall we go after him?" Shien, his right hand, spoke.

"No. The loser isn't important. Let's go."

-----

" I can't believe it! He defeated Hakkai!!" Nataku screeched, turning his attention now to his red haired companion currently carrying their bounded hostage.

"Put him down. Quick! You will have to take care of that pesky man in black since Hakkai was defeated! I will just be the one to take the prince to Gildern!"

"Okay. What do I do?"

" Well, DUH! Use your own way to finish him off!" he huffed, dragging Goku away with him.

"But Nataku! What's MY way?" The small one stopped at this and turned his gaze back to the redhead venomously.

"Just- JUST DO IT! Get a rock, hide behind the boulder and when he comes, throw it to hit head and there! It's finished!"

" Hmm.My way isn't very sportsman like."

"WHO CARES???"

"Ok."

-----

Fast approaching the clearing, the man in black slowed down as if sensing something. And right according to his predictions, indeed there *was* a need to slow down and sense things, judging from the large rock, which is now smashed into rock particles, that was hurled in his direction the moment he stepped into the sight of his mysterious assailant. Fortunately, it missed him by a couple of inches in the face. He turned his head in surprise when the red haired man stepped out of his hiding place.

" I missed. Oh well." And he grabbed another rock. " You know, why don't we settle this sportsman like?"

".You mean, I drop my sword, you drop your rock and fight like civilized people?"

"Exactly."

"O~kay." The man in black slowly put his sword down all the while watching the other put his rock down. Not good. He's obviously stronger in physique.

"Ready?" the taboo merely smiled and crouched in a wrestling position while the other did the same.

"." The man in black charged at him and gripped him by the waist; unfortunately Gojyo didn't budge an inch. "Oof!!" The redhead smiled and the man in black drew backwards before charging at him again. The result was just like before, though Gojyo just smiled a bit more wider.

"Dammit! Fight me seriously!!" the man in black snapped, annoyed.

"What? I only wanted you to feel that you are doing a great job."

"-_- +++;;"

Now, Gojyo tried to grab him but the man in black was quick enough to roll between his legs and end up behind the redhead.

" Wow, you're agile."

"Thank you. Now, lets continue. I have a prince to rescue."

The man in black dodged Gojyo's grasp again. This time, jumping behind the kappa (A/N: Whoops.). Gojyo choked as he tried to remove the arms wrapped dangerously secured around his neck.

"*choke* You're *choke* good."

"*grunt* Thank you."

"*choke* You know *choke* you're different. *choke*"

Charges backwards so the man in black gets sandwiched between him and a boulder.

" *gasp* Ugh.*grunt* WHY is that?"

"*choke* You're just different *choke* from the ones I fought before *chokes and falls on his knees* You- *drops on the ground unconscious*"

(Sorry, gotta fast-forward that. This fic has LOTS more chaps to go anyway.)

The man in black slowly let go of his arm and checked the redhead's pulse. He was still alive. Phew.

"Satte to." he dusted himself off from pebbles and shakily regained his composure before running off to get rid of his last obstacle. Nataku.

TBC.

A/N: Short huh? I know, I know. But I can't continue to Nataku's part since the title only says 'Hakkai and Gojyo part two'. Also, it would be more interesting to dedicate a whole chap for Sanzo and Nataku's fight since he's the last one and all to reach *ahem* his past Golden-eyed lovee *-* Wait a minute!! I'm spoiling it! Ah well, you guys are smart enough to know that it's Sanzo already anyway.

Please R&R!!
