The Sanzo-ikkou all sat in the jeep, as Hakkai drove for the umpteenth time. The rain came down heavily. Their hair stuck to their foreheads, and their clothes were all soaked. Hakkai chuckled. "Maybe we should find an inn." Goku pointed between his and Sanzo's heads. "Like that one?" Gojyo put his hand on Goku's head and rubbed it. "Yeah, Einstein. Like that!"

They drove up to the inn and got out of the jeep, which transformed back into Hakuryu, who landed on Hakkai's shoulder.

They walked into the inn, and saw no one at the front desk. The Sanzo-ikkou walked up to the desk and saw a door behind it. A loud crash came from behind, and girls' voices were heard. "That's it, Uma! Get the hell out of my kitchen!" "Make me, shorty!" "AGH!" A woman walked out of the door. She had brown hair with one green stripe on the left side of it, and with one on the right side. She saw the guys and gasped. "Oh! Rio! Get your butt out here! We've got customers." She turned back to them. "I'm am so sorry! I didn't know you guys were here." Hakkai smiled his usual smile. "It's all right."

Just then a short girl with brown hair, red bangs and an orange bandana walked out. "Hello." She said happily. "Uh…" The other woman sighed. "Welcome to the Tabemono Inn!* My name is Rose. This is Rio, the owner. Our cook is Uma, and…well, the other one is Ritsuko." Sanzo raised an eyebrow. "She's the owner?" "Yes." She smiled again, just as more crashes were heard.

The short one, Rio, rolled her eyes. "Ritsuko, stop trying to cook!" She yelled at the door. A woman with blue hair poked her head out from behind the door. "Well, it's not my fault! I can't…Hello." She said as she saw Sanzo. Sanzo looked around, confused.

Rio tilted her head. "You can't hello? That doesn't make any sense--" Rose put her hand over Rio's mouth. "Should I show you to your rooms, then?" She said to the ikkou. She walked up the steps and stopped at door towards the end of the hall. "Sorry, we only have two rooms left, and they're separated." Rose finally took a good look at them. "Your soaked! Do you want some towels?"

Sanzo coughed. "Your just noticing that?" Hakkai stopped Sanzo. "Yes, towels would be fine." Rose nodded and showed them the other room. She walked down the hall and then down the stairs. Gojyo grinned evilly. "I'd like get some of those girls." Goku punched him in the side. "Sicko!" "We should divide into our rooms, ne?" They all agreed and went to their rooms, Gojyo and Goku in one, and Hakkai and Sanzo in another.

I am aware, for those of you who know a lot alotta Japanese, that 'tabemono' means food. Well, if you knew Rio, you would know why it's called the 'Food Inn' in English. So just shut up and read the rest. ^^ thank you! NEXT CHAPTER: Misunderstandings
