The next day, as we were leaving to continue our journey West, I did not see Shimi anywhere. We traveled for hours, and we were lucky enough to come across the next town before nightfall. I didn't care though. I found a woman and fell in love with her at first sight, and I felt I would never see her again. How wrong I was.

As the Sanzo group entered the town with Hakuryu on Hakkai's shoulder, as he was very tired now, they heard a scream. They all ran toward the screams to see the last of fifteen people being slaughtered by a demon, a half demon.

I couldn't have cared less about the screams, as I was to busy feeling sorry for myself that I had not seen Shimi again. I then remembered what she said when I heard the scream and hoped it wasn't her scream, but what I saw was much worse.

"Shimi," Gojyo breathed the name.

"You know her, Gojyo?" Hakkai asked with a questioning glance.

"Why? Why, Shimi?" Gojyo asked not hearing Hakkai.

"I had to, Gojyo. If I hadn't the whole town of Outisder would have been destroyed. These ten lives, along with the lives of ninety others is nothing compared to the whole town of Outsider," she stated quietly.

"Is that for you to decide?" Sanzo asked while lighting a cigarette.

"Perhaps not, but I did none the less. My job is done; I killed the one-hundred Shumi asked me to. Now he wont destroy Outsider," Shimi stated as she turned and began walking away. She stopped though as Sanzo shot a bullet just an inch to the right ofher head.

"Not so fast, Shimi, was it?"

"It was."

"You still have one more person to kill before Outsider: The town of Half-bloods is safe."

She then turned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I talked to Shumi the other day. He was an old friend of mine." Sanzo then tossed her his banishing gun. "And you have yourself left to kill."

"What?" everyone asked at one time.

"Why would I do something like that, Priest?"

"Because when I talked to Shumi the other day he told me all about his plans. He gave me your description and everything. He also told me that your town would be destroyed if you didn't kill yourself. Of course he was planning to tell you himself, but he had something else he had to do."

"Sanzo!" everyone except Shimi said at once.

"So, all I have to do is kill myself?"

"That's right."

So, Shimi put the gun to her head.

I had no idea what to do or what to say. There she was, the lady I fell in love with just the day before, and she was just threatened into killing herself. I wanted to kill Sanzo for what he was doing, but I couldn't move. I wanted to yell at everyone else for not doing anything, but I couldn't speak. Only Goku seemed capable of speech as he was asking Sanzo what had gotten into him, but he didn't seem to be able to move and stop the lady. Then she did it!

Kanashimi closed her eyes and pulled the trigger of the banishing gun.

A/N: My apologiexs it was short and seemed rushed, I just didn't know how else to get the results I wanted to get. I might edit it later on. My apologies if you're disappointed.
