Some people might ask me why is it chapter four already after only 1

post it. Take your time reading it. I have it up to C. 9, and that is not
even near the middle of the story.
When I first planned this, I never hoped it would be so long, but oh well, I started it, so I'll finish it, someday...
Please give me a review after you read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to know what everybody thinks about my writing.

Chapter Four
When Yohina opened her eyes about a long time later, she was in her living room again. Nuriko, Machi, Sakura, and Vessica were all lying beside her and the others were peacefully asleep around them. For some reason, they had decided to all sleep in the big living room of her house so that was why it was like that.
Sunlight hit Yohina's eyes when she looked out the high window of her living room. There was no curtain there because it was too high and it was an oval shape. "It's daylight already?" She thought as she looked at the clock and saw that it was ten to eleven. She jumped up to her feet quickly as all the sleep in her went away.
"Wake up! Wake up all of you!" Yohina shouted as she tried to wake up all of the girls that were still sleeping on the ground.
The doorbell rang as all of the girls scrambled up from the ground. They were late. The party was going to start at twelve and the first other guests were suppose to arrive at about 11 or something like that. Yohina wondered why hadn't her parents wake them up and then remembered that her parents had gone to work even on a Sunday and were going to return at about 12:30 to cook for all of them.
"You all separate and go to both of the bathrooms to clean up! I'll go and see who it is!" Yohina ordered her friends around as her thoughts lingered on what had happened last night.
"Yohina..." Vessica shouted at her and gave her a hinting look when Yohina looked at her.
"We'll talk about it later, Ves! Now is not the time!" Yohina said as she rushed to the door.
The first guest was Nuriko's boyfriend, Jason and his younger brother Tyler. Jason was one year older than Yohina and the others and was a senior. His brown hair was dyed to the blond that it is now. His blue eyes were always so bright. Tyler had the blond hair that he was born with and he had the same blue eyes as his brother. Both of them were in Yohina's school even though Jason was going out with Nuriko. They had met at one of Yohina's end of school year party and then started dating.
"Hey, how are you?" Tyler asked with a smile.
"I'm fine. I'm glad that you guys can make it. I thought you said that yo guys had somewhere else to go today." Yohina said as the brothers walked in and she closed the door behind them.
"Yeah, but Jason canceled it when he heard that his girlfriend is going to be here." Tyler whispered when Jason wasn't listening. Yohina just giggled as she saw how happy Jason was when he saw Nuriko. Since the two of them weren't in the same school, they can only meet once a week. Also, Jason is a senior this year so he has a lot to do and the couple hadn't even met for at least a month.
"Guess we surprised you guys." Tyler said when he looked and saw that the beds were still unmade and everyone was still washing up and changing.
"Yeah! We slept late last night and when I woke up, it was 11 already and then you guys just rang the bell when I finally woke all of them up." Yohina said as she made the bed and put everything away so they will have enough place to sit.
"Who else is coming?" Jason asked as he sat down on the sofa with Nuriko beside him. Yohina smiled at how close the two of them were even though they hardly get to see each other anymore. Also, Jason will soon be gone to college. She wondered what Nuriko would do.
"Well, I think Lucy and also Hikki, Takeya, and Satsuki's boyfriends." Yohina said thoughtfully as she tried to include everybody.
"That's a lot of people if you ask me. I didn't think you would invite other people's boyfriends when you don't have one yourself." Tyler teased with sarcasm.
"What's that suppose to mean? I just thought it would only make the party more enjoyable when there are more people. Besides, why do you care if I have a boyfriend or not? It's none of your business." Yohina said as she left everyone in the living room and went to the kitchen to get drinks for her friends.
The bell rang at about 12 again. By that time, almost everyone was there except for Lucy and Takeya's boyfriend. Both Lucy and Takeya's boyfriend, Kevin, are in the same school as Yohina, Takeya, and Machi, which is Pearland High.
Yohina rushed to get to the door and when she opened it, she saw that it was Kevin and Lucy. Kevin's convertible was parked in front of Yohina's house. He was also a senior like Jason in Pearland High School. He has brown hair and light gray eyes that never hide what he is thinking about. He is the school's star basketball player so he was the tallest out of all of them. Overall, Yohina guessed that Kevin is kind of cute compared to a lot of other boys. Yohina had no idea how did Takeya hook up with him. At first, she didn't like Takeya's choice at all because Kevin was the top school bully along with his friend, Kyle, who is also a star basketball player. Yet, when she talked to him for Takeya's sake, she found out that he's not so mean after all even though he acted like that all the time.
"Why did you two come together?" Takeya rushed to the door and asked suspiciously when she saw Kevin and Lucy outside the door.
"Well, since I live two houses away from her, I just picked her up when she told me that she didn't have a ride Friday night." Kevin answered with a cute smile.
Yet, before anyone else could say anything else, another car pulled up at Yohina's house's driveway. Yohina looked at it with confusion as someone she didn't know walked out of the car with a banquet of yellow roses in hand. By that time, Kevin and Lucy had already entered the house. Everyone rushed to the door to see whom the strange guy was.
Only when the guy walked up close could Yohina see that he was only a delivery-man from one of the flower shops near their high school. "What do you want?" Yohina asked as she looked at the banquet of yellow roses. Roses were her favorite flowers and yellow roses meant forever love as she had read on some book before.
"Are you Yohina Zabraski?" The delivery-man asked when he stopped in front of the doorway with the banquet of roses in hand. He looked down at a writing pad he was holding also as if to check if he had gotten to the right home or not.
"Yes, I'm Yohina Zabraski." Yohina answered still with curiosity.
"Could you sign this? Someone called up to pay for a banquet of 17 yellow roses to send to you for your birthday! There is no card though!" The delivery-man said.
All of Yohina's friends gasped. They looked at Yohina, who still had a curious look on her face. "Who ordered it?" She asked.
"Don't know. The person didn't leave a name because he paid in cash." The man answered with an annoyed look.
Then, Yohina took the banquet of roses as the delivery-man handed them to her. When the delivery-man left, her friends started teasing her about it.
"So who is this secret lover of yours?"
"Aren't you going to tell us?"
"Come on, Yohina!"
"Yeah! You already know all of our secrets!" Her friends shouted as the all walked into the living room again.
"I don't know who it is, OK? Stop asking me!" Yohina almost screamed. She was so relieved when her friends had shut up.
The rest of the day went by quickly. They watched TV and talked about other things that they were interested in. There were still some discussions of the roses, but Yohina dismissed the subject as quickly as she could. Yohina's parents came back at about 4 in the afternoon, by that time, all of them were famished. They brought out the cake and Yohina made a wish. Since it was Sunday and they all have school tomorrow, some of them started leaving at 6 or 7. At about 7:30, there were only Vessica, Nuriko, Sakura, and Machi left.
"So what do you think?" Yohina asked as she finally sat down with a tired look.
"About what?" Machi asked with the same clueless stupidity that she always possessed to annoy other people.
"About what happened last night, duh!" Yohina shouted. She was tired and frustrated. She wasn't in the mood for Machi's idiocy.
"I don't really know. I think it has to do with these necklaces. Anyway, I don't think we should wear it anymore." Vessica said as she held out her gray necklace.
"Oh really? I think it was just something stupid. I mean, it's cool, OK? We got into the world of Saiyuki! Some people would beg to have to luck that we have at that time!" Nuriko argued with a smile.
Yohina didn't say anything. She wasn't sure that Nuriko was wrong, but she wasn't sure that she was totally right either.
* * * *
Two weeks passed quicker that Yohina had anticipated. Everything went by as if it only lasted one second. Yohina had stopped thinking about what happened on her birthday and her concentration was back on her schoolwork again.
It was another Saturday with rains. For some reason, as Yohina brushed her hair in the morning, she suddenly remembered something that Sanzo's mentor had said about the rain. "Rain is the bringer of life, but when it continues like this, it's very dispiriting."
Yohina took out the light purple necklace that she had put away during the two weeks since she was too busy and she didn't want anything to happen if what happened last time did connect to the necklace.
That Saturday, Yohina was bored so she turned on the TV and watched Saiyuki again. Yet, this time, she started from the fifth disk instead of the first one. That was one of her favorite ones. As the disk started, Yohina laid down her homework in front of her and started doing her homework while she was watching TV.
She didn't know how long had passed when the purple necklace she was wearing started to glow again. At first, she didn't notice it because it was just a small glow and she was concentrating really hard to figure out a problem in her homework. When Yohina finally felt the glow from the necklace, it was too late. Things around her started to swirl like before and soon she was consumed in whiteness again. "Damn!" That was Yohina's last thought before she lost consciousness.
* * * *
The doorbell rang as Sakura rushed out for the door. She had been waiting for them. As she opened the door, she saw that as usual, Machi and Nuriko was fighting while Vessica stood there annoyed and pissed off.
"Hello, come in." Sakura said with a smile.
However, Sakura could tell that Vessica's patience had reached its limit. "OH GOD WOULD YOU TWO JUST SHUT UP! IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT, GET REAL! IT'S ANNOYING!" Vessica screamed as she hit Machi and Nuriko's head.
"Hey, what's wrong with you, chicken! If you don't have the guts to fight, don't interfere with another person's fight, CHICKEN!" Machi screamed.
Vessica sighed as she walked into the room. However, behind her, Machi gives up fighting with Nuriko and kept calling Vessica chicken, chicken, chicken, and chicken.
"Do you think that Yohina would be happy that we have a little meeting here without her about what had happened on her birthday? I mean, after all, it was her film." Sakura said with concern.
"Don't worry about it. She wouldn't mind. Lately, she had been acting kind of weird. Just last Thursday, she suddenly rushed out of the cafeteria like crazy. When I looked, I saw that the fork she was holding had melted into water." Machi said carelessly.
That alerted Vessica and Sakura. "Melted?" Vessica thought with surprise and then remembered something that had happened to her lately. She was doing her homework when she was too frustrated with one problem, she grabbed the paper out of despair as if the paper would answer her, then, the paper turned to ashes.
Yet, before any of them could discuss anything more, their necklaces suddenly glowed all together and for some reason, they sensed something. None of them know what it was, but they felt it as if it was happening to themselves.
"Tell me it's not happening again." Vessica complained as the TV suddenly turned on and the last thing she saw was Goku almost killing Kougaiji in a fight. Then, everything just disappeared as all of them lost consciousness.
* * * * Yohina landed on her feet. She was so relieved that she landed safely rather than fall down from the air. She took out her necklace and saw that the purple glow from it had disappeared slowly. First, Yohina looked down at herself and saw that she was dressed in the exactly same thing as last time.
Then, Yohina looked around and saw that she was in a canyon of some sort. It all looked so familiar to her, but she couldn't remember where. Also, she seemed to be in the entrance of the canyon rather than in the middle of it. Before she could figure out where she was, she heard a screech of tires behind her as she turned around to look in fear.
It was the Sanzo party. They were surprised to see her. At first Yohina thought that they wouldn't recognize her, but then they smiled when she said hello to them. "Yohina, how nice to see you again! Where are your friends?" Hakkai asked as he stepped out of the car.
"I don't..." Yohina started to answer. However, before the word "know" could even come out of her, she saw the air opening to form a green portal opening behind Hakkai. Then, Vessica, Nuriko, Machi, and Nuriko were each thrown out of the portal.
Everyone was surprised to see them. None of them seemed to be hurt though. Slowly and painfully, they stood up and saw that they were with the Sanzo party and Yohina was also there. "Why are you guys together?" Yohina asked accusingly as she looked at them.
Her friends smiled nervously. "You see, Yohina, we got together to discuss about what happened on your birthday. I'm sorry we didn't call you. I thought you said your parents are busy so you won't have a ride to Sakura's house." Vessica explained.
"Whatever, just include me next time." Yohina said with her arms folded. She noticed that her friends' clothes were the same as the last time except none of them were wearing pantyhose anymore.
"What happened last time? When we looked at you guys, you guys all had a funny look on your face and then a green portal appeared behind you guys and sucked you guys in." Sanzo asked as they sat down and ate lunch.
"I don't know. It's just that our necklaces started to glow and then everything around us turned white. Then the next thing we know was that we were back in our world." Yohina explained with a shrug.
"That's really weird. Anyway, we think we should get on with our journey. I assume that you guys still want to come with us?" Sanzo said as he started to clean up the food. Goku was complaining about it since he was still eating.
The girls shrugged to show that Sanzo was right. They had nowhere to go anyway and they can't protect themselves if they meet up with any demons.
Just as they were about to get into Hakkai's jeep that his pet dragon Hakuryu had turned into, Hakkai suddenly brought some bad news for them. "Hey, guys, I have some really bad news. There is no way that we can ride a jeep in this mountain range. The roads are way too bumpy for a jeep." Hakkai announced his report since he was sent to scouting just minutes ago.
"What? That means we are only in episode 3!" Yohina thought with surprise. She was sure that she was watching episode 20 at home, but now they were only in episode 3.
It was easy to decide who would carry their luggage. It was Goku since when they play rock, paper, and scissors, Goku always play scissors first. After 1000 steps, Goku retaliated against the idea. They played rock, paper, and scissors again and Goku lost again. "He'll be carrying that bag all the way to India." Gojyo commented.
By that time, Yohina thought back to what will happen later. "Hey, by any chance, do you guys have any clothes that we can borrow?" Yohina asked. Her friends looked at her with question, but Yohina didn't bother to answer them at all.
Sakura and Vessica didn't want to change out of their clothes at all, but Yohina made them. About 15 minutes later, when the five girls were all done redressing up, they all looked like guys. "Men, if we didn't know better, we'd mistaken all of you for guys." Hakkai said with a warm smile.
It was true. All of them were dressed in big shirts that tucked into their pants. Everyone's long hair was hidden under a hat except for Nuriko since she had short hair. Vessica, Yohina, and Machi's boots were changed into tennis shoes. Also, the three of them wore khaki pants. Nuriko and Sakura wore jeans with tennis shoes also.
Gojyo tried to question Yohina why would they want to dress up as guys when they look so good in those other clothes. "You'll find out soon." Yohina's answer was short and simple.
With that, the nine of them marched on in the canyon as the sun started setting. "We'll never make it before sunset." Hakkai complimented.
"It's better if we find place to stay. It'll be too dangerous to travel in these mountains at night." Sanzo commented without another thought.
As they walked, them came upon a temple built in the mountain. "Man, that's what I call a humble little establishment." Gojyo said with a smile as they stopped in front of the gate and knocked.
Two monks appeared on a balcony on what seemed to be the second floor of the temple. "Who are you and what do you want?" One of the monks asked.
"We are just travelers searching for a place to stay for the night." Hakkai said with a smile.
"This is no hotel! Only the holy and most faithful monks can stay here in this most holiest of temples!" The other monk answered with anger.
"Monks, they are all a bunch of hypocrites who are too busy preaching to practice what they preach!" Gojyo said with anger with his punch out. "Shut up!" Sanzo muttered beside him.
"Sanzo, I'm hungry! Can't you do anything?" Goku complained when he heard the monk's answer.
When I first planned this, I never hoped it would be so long, but oh well, I started it, so I'll finish it, someday...
Please give me a review after you read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to know what everybody thinks about my writing.

Chapter Four
When Yohina opened her eyes about a long time later, she was in her living room again. Nuriko, Machi, Sakura, and Vessica were all lying beside her and the others were peacefully asleep around them. For some reason, they had decided to all sleep in the big living room of her house so that was why it was like that.
Sunlight hit Yohina's eyes when she looked out the high window of her living room. There was no curtain there because it was too high and it was an oval shape. "It's daylight already?" She thought as she looked at the clock and saw that it was ten to eleven. She jumped up to her feet quickly as all the sleep in her went away.
"Wake up! Wake up all of you!" Yohina shouted as she tried to wake up all of the girls that were still sleeping on the ground.
The doorbell rang as all of the girls scrambled up from the ground. They were late. The party was going to start at twelve and the first other guests were suppose to arrive at about 11 or something like that.

"That's really weird. Anyway, we think we should get on with our journey. I assume that you guys still want to come with us?" Sanzo said as he started to clean up the food. Goku was complaining about it since he was still eating.
The girls shrugged to show that Sanzo was right. They had nowhere to go anyway and they can't protect themselves if they meet up with any demons.
Just as they were about to get into Hakkai's jeep that his pet dragon Hakuryu had turned into, Hakkai suddenly brought some bad news for them. "Hey, guys, I have some really bad news. There is no way that we can ride a jeep in this mountain range. The roads are way too bumpy for a jeep." Hakkai announced his report since he was sent to scouting just minutes ago.
"What? That means we are only in episode 3!" Yohina thought with surprise. She was sure that she was watching episode 20 at home, but now they were only in episode 3.
It was easy to decide who would carry their luggage. It was Goku since when they play rock, paper, and scissors, Goku always play scissors first. After 1000 steps, Goku retaliated against the idea. They played rock, paper, and scissors again and Goku lost again. "He'll be carrying that bag all the way to India." Gojyo commented.
By that time, Yohina thought back to what will happen later. "Hey, by any chance, do you guys have any clothes that we can borrow?" Yohina asked. Her friends looked at her with question, but Yohina didn't bother to answer them at all.
Sakura and Vessica didn't want to change out of their clothes at all, but Yohina made them. About 15 minutes later, when the five girls were all done redressing up, they all looked like guys. "Men, if we didn't know better, we'd mistaken all of you for guys." Hakkai said with a warm smile.
It was true. All of them were dressed in big shirts that tucked into their pants. Everyone's long hair was hidden under a hat except for Nuriko since she had short hair. Vessica, Yohina, and Machi's boots were changed into tennis shoes. Also, the three of them wore khaki pants. Nuriko and Sakura wore jeans with tennis shoes also.
Gojyo tried to question Yohina why would they want to dress up as guys when they look so good in those other clothes. "You'll find out soon." Yohina's answer was short and simple.
With that, the nine of them marched on in the canyon as the sun started setting. "We'll never make it before sunset." Hakkai complimented.
"It's better if we find place to stay. It'll be too dangerous to travel in these mountains at night." Sanzo commented without another thought.
As they walked, them came upon a temple built in the mountain. "Man, that's what I call a humble little establishment." Gojyo said with a smile as they stopped in front of the gate and knocked.
Two monks appeared on a balcony on what seemed to be the second floor of the temple. "Who are you and what do you want?" One of the monks asked.
"We are just travelers searching for a place to stay for the night." Hakkai said with a smile.
"This is no hotel! Only the holy and most faithful monks can stay here in this most holiest of temples!" The other monk answered with anger.
"Monks, they are all a bunch of hypocrites who are too busy preaching to practice what they preach!" Gojyo said with anger with his punch out. "Shut up!" Sanzo muttered beside him.
"Sanzo, I'm hungry! Can't you do anything?" Goku complained when he heard the monk's answer.
