Chapter 5

Hakkai rushed to the bushes where the sound came from. Gojyo quickly leaped to his feet and chased after Hakkai.

"Goku!" Hakkai called, ramaging the bushes.

"Oi, Hakkai. Don't act like that. You look like an old maid picking up rubbish." Gojyo said. "Just relax and try to find the way."

Just then, they heard another squeak. A cold chuckling voice chuckled among the bushes.

Gojyo turned to Hakkai, "Now you can worry." Gojyo's face went pale. Cold sweat run down his back.

"Goku! Where are you?" Hakkai called. No answer...

Hakkai ramage the bushes again. He push opened a part of the bushes and water squirted at his face.

Justin jumped out of his hiding place, holding a toy water gun in his hands. "Ha-ha! Nanjate!" he said sarcastically.

Hakkai wipe the water of his face. He turned to Justin and smiled. To Justin's surprise, Hakkai is no longer a man. Hakkai has turned into a girl due to the water Justin squirted.

"Oi! Stop all your silly jokes! Tell me where the black pig is!" Gojyo yelled.

Justin stuck out his tounge as a 'reply'. Gojyo popped a big red vein.

Gojyo rolled up his sleeve and made a fist at Justin. "Why you little brat...!" Gojyo was cut short when Hakkai pulled him back.

Hakkai grinned, "Can you please tell us where our 'pet' is?" he asked Justin kindly.

Justin shooked, "I don't understand what are you crazy people talking about." Justin walk forward, backing off Hakkai.

"Nandato! Kono...!" Gojyo was cut short again when Hakkai raise his hand at Gojyo's chest.

"Are you sure you don't know?" Hakkai asked with an evil grin.

A sweatdrop roll down Gojyo's head. "Hakkai... I hate that smile."

They heard a rustling sound behind another lump of bushes. Goku's head popped out.

"Goku..." Hakkai said.

Goku walk out, saved and unharmed.

Gojyo growled, "Kono baka saru! Where have you been? La-la-land?!" Goku charged at Gojyo and scratched his face. "Ite-te-te-te-te! Get your dirty paws off my beautiful face!"

Gojyo and Goku started quarreling again. Hakkai and Justin sweatdropped.

"See?" Justin sneered. "I did nothing to that pathetic animal."

"Ha-ha, sorry for mistaking." Hakkai apologised, rubbing the back of his head and grin.

"Oi! Chotto! Then... But... Where did the squeaky sound came from?" Gojyo asked, in the middle of a fight with Goku.

"Oh, you meant this?" Justin said ramaging his pocket and pulled out a rubber duck. He squeeze it and the toy duck gave a squeak. "Aww... How cute. It's just like you." he said sarcastically.

This time, Gojyo can't take it anymore. "Why you wretched BRAT!" Gojyo walked angrily to Justin making loud booming footstep sounds. "And don't ask me to calm down!" Gojyo roared when Hakkai wanted to stop him.

"I gotta go." Justin said, acting big. He wanted to tuck his water gun into his pocket (like all cowboys do) but slipped and dropped it. Blushing he quickly picked it up and tried again, but also failed. Grumbling, he picked it up again and this time manage to do it (in a cheating way). He raised one of his hand as a 'see ya' sign and walked away.

"Cheh! Show off!" Gojyo snapped.

"Goku, daijobuka?" Hakkai asked. Goku leaped into Hakkai's hands.

"Oi! Oi! Doesn't mean you are a piglet now, you can attract a..." Gojyo looked at Hakkai. "Girl's attention..."

"Gojyo... Don't pick on Goku." Hakkai said. Goku made innocent goo-goo eyes at Hakkai. "Kawaiso." Hakkai said, patting Goku's head.

Gojyo growled, popping a vein. "Right! Right! Let's get back to the corrupt monk in case he blow up again."

Kanai's bakery shop

They were nearly reaching Kanai's bakery shop when Gojyo stopped and blushed.

"I can't go in there! I made a fool of myself just now!" Gojyo said, turning red.

Hakkai smiled. "Suit yourself."

"Oi, Hakkai! Matte!" Gojyo called.

Hakkai went in the bakery. Just as he entered, he saw a woman wearing a pink and yellow kimono. She was sitting on one of the table chairs and sipping some coffee.

The woman turned to Hakkai in puzzlement.

Hakkai smiled and bowed, "Konnichiwa." he greet.

The woman smiled back. "Konnichiwa."

"Argh?" Gojyo blushed just as he saw Kanai walking out of the kitchen.

"Oh, you're back, mister. Have a seat. There are still more tables here." Kanai said.

"Ah? Ah? Em!" Gojyo said and walk awkwardly to another table. Kanai smiled.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get some more cakes and tea. Have a seat, Hakkai-san." Kanai said and strode to the kitchen.

Ha... Hakkai? the woman with the pink and yellow kimono thought. She dropped her tea cup and looked around the bakery shop eagerly.

"Daijobuka?" Hakkai asked the woman.

The woman looked at Hakkai in puzzlement and shooked. "Iie, I was... expecting somebody." She touched her cheek. "I must have mistaken."

"May I join you?" Hakkai asked. He smiled.

The woman nodded. "Sure. I need somebody to talk to." She picked up her tea cup. "Oh, dear. I spilled my coffee all over the table. So sorry."

"Wait here, I'll go get a table cloth." Hakkai said as he walk into the kitchen. He came out with a table cloth and wiped the table.

"Arigatou. You are a very kind young lady?" the woman said.

"Young lady?" Hakkai asked. He looked at himself. "Oh, yeah. Thank you for you praise."

After Hakkai had finished cleaning the table, he pulled out a chair and sat down. Kanai came out from the kitchen, carrying a tray with a teapot and some cakes.

"Here you go." Kanai said, putting down the plates and pouring some tea into their cups.

"Arigatou gozaimasu." Hakkai said.

Hakkai and the woman chatted for somewhile. Soon...

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." the woman said. "You can call me Mrs. Nadeshiko. Yours?"

Gojyo leaped of his chair and rushed to Hakkai. "Hakkai, this woman is a stranger." Gojyo whispered to Hakkai. "Don't tell her your real name, she might be a youkai for all I know."

"You mean you heard my conversation all the time?" Hakkai asked.

Gojyo sweatdropped. "Argh! Just don't do it okay." Gojyo whispered and rushed back to his own table.

"So... Where were we?" Hakkai asked.

"I'll like to know your name." Mrs Nadeshiko said.

"My name? Em... My name is... err... Hak..."
