Flowers...
"Idiotic water monster!"
"Stupid Monkey!"
"Horny cockroach!"
"Stomach-brain!"
Their daily quarrel goes on and on while the fateful breeze blows through Hakkai's smiling face. Sanzo in the other hand was... well..... "WILL YOU SHUT UP?!" WHACK! WHACK!
Kumiko could see the funny act at her rear view mirror. She just giggle at the scene. Then, Kumiko saw a young girl with a basket at the side. She stopped rite beside her, "Are you lost?" asked Kumiko. The young girl opened her mouth but no words came out. "I.. uh.... lady....," said the girl. Kumiko could barely hear the sound coming out of her mouth. "Yes?" Kumiko replied gently.
The Sanzo-ikkou stopped beside Kumiko to see what is she doing with the little girl.
"Would... you mind... buying a few flowers... from me?" The girl finally spoke something right. Kumiko smiled. "I'll buy 5. One for each of us," Kumiko took out her small wallet. The young girl smiled and took out 2 red flowers, one yellow flower, and 2 purple flowers. Goku's eyes widened at the sight of the flowers, "Wow! That's so pretty!" Kumiko nodded, agreeing to what he just said.
"Thank you... very much... Hope... to see you... again..." The girl quickly ran off to the opposite direction. Shy girl, thought Kumiko. "Ok, The yellow one, I'll give it to Goku, the purple ones... hmmm... Sanzo and Hakkai," said Kumiko giving out the flowers to each of the boys. "Gojyo, here you go," as Gojyo's hand touches Kumiko's, she heard another loud voice.
...how beautiful, the color of blood!
..mom.... please... it's not my fault!!
"Gojyo..." Kumiko said under her breath. Gojyo stared at the flower for a while and he finally decided not to take it, "You take it. It suits you better."
Kumiko just nodded and tucked the 2 flowers into her hair with just the beautiful petals sticking out. "The flowers look beautiful on you, Kumiko! Ne, Sanzo?" Goku smiled. Kumiko blushed a bit, "You think so? Maybe I should be more girlish then," she smiled and patted Goku's head.
Then, all of the sudden, a small light appeared from the heavens. "Oh no... not that old woman again," Sanzo cursed under his breath. Appeared a man from the light. "eh? I thought she looked younger than that," Gojyo blinked at the Jiroushin.
"I am not the Goddess of Mercy, thank you very much. I am Jiroushin, her right-hand man," he introduced himself. "Goddess of Mercy? I wish I could me her too!" Kumiko said in amazement. "Too?" Hakkai asked curiously. Kumiko sweat dropped for a while, "No, I mean.. err... nothing.. ehehe" she smiled her silly smile again.
"So what brings you here, Jiroushin-san" asked Hakkai. "Ah yes, Goddess of Mercy is currently busy with some documents in heaven. So, she sent me to bring you some news," said Jiroushin. Kumiko just blinked. "After Homura's attempt to create a new world, there's been a few errors in the heavens. And unfortunately, the credit card you're using can't be used until further notice," continued Jiroushin.
Sanzo's eyes widened. "WHAT?!" Sanzo, Goku and Gojyo all screamed together. "Alright then. My work for now is done. I shall see you later," Jiroushin disappeared right after his last words. "Ch." Sanzo just tried not to get too disappointed.
"What's the problem, guys?" Kumiko asked. "We've been relying on the credit card for too long. We don't have cash or any many right now," explained Hakkai. "Don't see the problem... well, why don't you work for the money?" Kumiko suggested while getting onto her white motorcycle.
"Ch..." sounded Sanzo. Kumiko just giggled and races off with the green jeep right behind her tracks.
As they traveled for the whole day, they finally arrived in a small village. Kumiko quickly went to an inn, pulling Goku so that he won't run off to any other restaurants.
"WILL YOU STAY PUT?!" shouted Sanzo as he gives a hard WHACK!! to the small monkey. "But Sanzo~~! Meat bun~~!!" whined Goku. Right before Sanzo gives the monkey another hard whack, Kumiko just smiled at Goku gently, "That is why this is your lucky day. The inn also has a restaurant inside. I heard that their meat buns are the best here." Goku jumped around, "Yay! Meat bun! Meat bun!"
They stepped into the inn with Goku jumping around like a jumping jellybean. Sanzo went to the receptionist, "I want five separate bedrooms for the night," Sanzo took out the golden credit card. The receptionist quickly took the card, "Hey... this card isn't working anymore! Would you mind paying with cash?"
They all looked at each other with blank faces. Kumiko went to the receptionist, smiling her (yea, you guessed it) silly smile, "Mr. Receptionist, sir, we are travelers and we don't have any money with us. So, I was thinking if we could work here. In return, we can stay here for the night. Is that ok?"
The receptionist thought for a while, "Hmm... well why not? It's a pretty busy night anyway. We could use the extra help. But unfortunately, we only have four rooms, is that ok?" Kumiko just nodded, "we can handle that later."
"Hey... do we have to work here too?" asked Sanzo. "Ahaha... of course! Now, let's go at the back and find some work to do!" Kumiko pushed the four men, obviously all of them aren't too happy about it.
