Chapter 8

Gojyo peep into the Kanai's bakery shop. I guess it's safe to go in now. he thought.

He saw Hakkai carried a big bowl in his hands. Inside it was the freshly made Sakura buns.

"Mmmm.... Wow!" Gojyo muttered. "They're having a feast!" He sniff.

Gasp! You could imagine this! Pork buns, shashimi, sushi, ramen, miso soup, grilled fish, giu-dong (I don't think you've heard this giu-dong before), salmon fish, seaweeds and of coures, rice! All on two tables joined together. The other table was not joined together. On it was the Sakura buns and all the dessert stuff.

Gojyo's mouth water. Without hesitation, he rush into the shop and sat down on a chair. He rubbed his hands and chuckled.

"Ah, Gojyo." Hakkai said. "Everybody is not here yet. Don't eat first, ok."

Gojyo groan.

Sanzo came down the stairs and sat on a chair. "Oi, Gojyo. Got a lighter?"

"Yeah, yeah. Not borrowing you." Gojyo said sarcastically with a laugh.

Sanzo popped a vein. He took out his paper fan and hit Gojyo's head.

"Ah, ite! Kono-" Gojyo was cut short when Kanai came out of the kitchen. "Ah-ha-ha-ha. Kanai-san." He blushed.

Goku leaped onto a chair and jumped onto the table.

Kanai lay the cups on the table. She took a teapot and poured some tea into the cups. She then turned and strode to the kitchen.

"Ah, Kanai-san. Anything I can do to help?" Gojyo asked following Kanai.

"Iie. You may start eating now if you're hungry." Kanai said, smiling.

Just then, Gojyo's stomach growl. "Ah! This is nothing! Really."

Kanai smiled. "It's ok, take a seat. I'll go get some orange juice."

Gojyo walk back to his seat and sat hard on it. "Cheh! Failed again."

Sanzo looked at him in disgust.

Everybody surround the table. They sat down on the chairs and picked up their chopsticks. "Itadaki-mas!"

Goku gobbled up a big bowl of ramen. Kanai stared in surprise as Goku move on to the next bowl.

"Hm...." Gojyo said, biting on a crab. "How do we break this crab's shell? It's too hard."

Just as Hakkai wanted to help Gojyo, Justin barge into the bakery shop and the door slammed hard on the wall. Everybody choked their food and spat out their drink in alarm. But unluckily for Gojyo, he bit hard on the crab.

"AHOOOO!" Gojyo cried, touching his teeth.

Hakkai looked at the crab Gojyo was holding. His eyes widen. "Wow. At least you finally cracked it."

"Oi!" Justin yelled. "Where's my share?! I'm hungry!"

"Justin, please behave yourself." Kanai said. "Come and eat some."

Justin went over to the table. Gojyo was still covering his mouth and whining in pain. "Oi! Crab man! Move it!"

"Justin, please." Kanai sighed.

Justin didn't say a word. He stuff as much food in his mouth than he could chew and grab as much food in his hands. He then turned and left.

"I'm so sorry. Need me to get the first aid kit?" Kanai said.

"Ah, iie. Daijo- ARRRGGGHH!" Gojyo said.

"Are you sure?" Kanai asked. Gojyo nodded.

I'm gonna kill that kid! Gojyo thought.

"Gochiso sama." Hakkai said. He leaned back on his chair.

"Ah...! That's some fine tasting soup." Gojyo said.

Goku lie down and rub his bloated stomach. "Pi... Pi..."

Gojyo looked at the dessert table. "Oh...! Those sakura buns sure look delicious. Kanai is a good cook."

"I didn't make them. Hakkai did." Kanai said.

Gojyo looked at Hakkai. He sweatdropped. "Oh."

Sanzo helped himself with a glass of orange juice. They begin to pick their own dessert.

"Ah-ha-ha-ha. I don't think those buns taste good though." Hakkai said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Then I'm not eating it." Sanzo said, wanting to pick the Sakura buns.

"I'll try it." Kanai said. She took a Sakura bun and ate it. "Mmm.... Oishi."

Hakkai and Goku stared at Kanai. You've guessed it, sakura patterns appeared on her forehead.

"Ka... Kanai-san." Hakkai said. "There's some sakura patterns on your forehead."

"Eh?" Kanai asked. She rubbed her forehead. "Now?"

"Still there." Hakkai said.

Kanai rubbed her forehead again. Goku took a mirror and hand it to her. Kanai looked into the mirror and gasp. "What is it doing there?"

Gojyo glared at Hakkai. "Hakkai..." he said in a deep voice. "What did you feed her...?"

Hakkai sweatdropped. "Maa maa."

Goku looked at the pork buns. Then he remembered. "Pi! Pi!"

"Huh?" Hakkai asked.

Goku made some signs to Hakkai.

"Old man... wave hand... throw... give... what what?" Gojyo said, trying to understand.

Hakkai remembered. "Right!" He took a Sakura bun and examined it. "I never thought that old man meant it. No wonder it's so expensive."

"Looks delicious. I can't resist it." Gojyo said and ate a Sakura bun.

Hakkai and Goku sweatdropped.

Gojyo swallowed the Sakura bun. "Ah... Oishi-o!"

"Gojyo, don't look into the mirror." Hakkai said.

"Eh? Nani?" Gojyo asked.

"Just.... Don't look into the mirror."

A/N: Wow! Nyam nyam nyam.... The part when I wrote about the food, I grow hungry myself. Feel like eating japanese food now. Of all, my favourite is giu-dong! It means beef rice. Rice with gravey and sliced beef covering the rice. Oooh....! For those who haven't tried it, TRY IT! TRY IT! I like sushi too, especially raw salmon and rice. Ooops... Better not talk too much otherwise I'll make you hungry too. Anyway, reveiew and look forward to the next chappie.
