Ok, this is most likely gonna be the last chapter to this story, but not the last part!! It seems that the decision of it being a series has kinda won. I had one or two say they wanted a series in the reviews, and I had a few friends nag at me to make it a series. So a series it will be. I'm surprised I'm actually finishing a story without discontinuing it. Interesting. Well, time to thank my faithful reviewers!!

C.T. Saiyukily Twisted- Yeah, I notice that halfway through the chapter I kept misspelling the names. Sorry!! I'll correct it though!! Yeah, the spiders' deaths were kinda bad, but it was either kill them or have the entire town and then some being killed. And I get what you're sayin and the story will continue in a series.

Devil-Angel- Don't worry!! The story is now going to be a series!!

Schizo the Mentally Disturbed- I know how you feel. My internet is an ass too, but my computer is worse. I swear, it's about ready to keel over and die. And the story will continue in a series!!!

Ok, now it's time for the last chapter!! Hope yall like it!!

Chapter 11

The sun was shinning brightly again as it had the day before. The people of the town went about their business, never knowing what actually went on during the long night. What none of them expected was for the inn to be closed down. It had gone out of business, which was a surprise to say the least, but stranger things had happened to them in the past. So the people kept on living and never really looked into the real reason why the inn was closed.

Though the inn was closed, it was not empty. Inside slept the sanzo gang, catching up on the sleep they missed the night before. The curtains had been drawn in each room to keep out the waking rays of the sun. Everything was quiet and warm, letting their tired bodies rest in the comfortable beds. Jeep had gone back to his dragon like form and lay sleeping, curled next to Hakkai's head on the soft pillow.

After the fight, Hitachi and the girls had cooked a huge meal for all of them. The girls hadn't eaten in a while and were all pretty hungry. They all found that Julin had about as big an appetite as Goku. She and Goku had eaten most of what was on the table, but Hitachi has expected something like that to happen and had made extra for everyone else.

After they had eaten, everyone had gone to bed to catch up on their sleep. Everything was now quiet. Everything, except the kitchen that is. The girls had gone to bed, but had gotten back up after they had enough sleep. They thought it would be a good idea to make some food again for when everyone had gotten up. Hitachi was busy at the stove cooking some seasoned sausage links while Maki was cutting some vegetables up. Maki always tried her best to add in some of the daily needs for them. Julin was busy cracking eggs and cooking them on the stove next to Hitachi. Kirashi had begun to set out plates and bowls on the tables, making sure to leave enough for everyone. They all were working together to make all this while making sure to keep as quiet as they could.

But though they kept quiet, they were heard by one, sound sensitive person. Hakuryu raised his head as he heard to movements of them in the kitchen. The very faint scent of the food that was being prepared. He very quietly yawned and stretched before going out of Hakkai's room and down the hall. He used the scent of the food to guide him to the kitchen where he found all four girls cooking breakfast.

Hitachi moved the cooked links onto the plate beside her and put a few more onto the pan. She blinked as she felt something land on her shoulder. She looked over at Hakuryu, who was looking down at the food she was cooking. Hitachi blinked before taking one of the finished links and tearing a piece off before holding it up to Hakuryu. Hakuryu examined the offered food before taking the piece and feasting on it. (Does Hakuryu eat regular food? Hm…) Hitachi smiled faintly before taking another one of the links and taking a bite out of it.

Hakkai yawned and rubbed his eyes as he sat up in his bed, the sheets falling down about his waist. He looked around the room in a slight daze from sleep. He was instantly awake though when he didn't see his usual companion in the room. "Hakuryu?" The small dragon-like creature was nowhere to be seen. Hakkai quickly got up and threw on his clothes before heading down the hall. He had no idea where Hakuryu had gone off to and that made him worry a bit, especially with all that had happened last night.

Hakuryu looked up from what he was eating when he heard the sound of Hakkai's voice coming down the hall. He quickly finished off what was he before grabbing the rest of the sausage link and flew out of the kitchen. Hitachi blinked. "Slippery little sucker ain't he."

Hakuryu flew down the hall with the sausage link between his claws. He finally found Hakkai and landed on his shoulders. Hakkai let out a sigh of relief. "Don't worry me like that, Hakuryu."

"Cheep," Hakuryu replied before feasting on the sausage link. Hakkai blinked at this. Where did he get a piece of sausage? And a cooked piece no less. Hakkai walked down the hall with Hakuryu on his shoulders, letting the creature feed on the sausage. He stepped into the kitchen as the smell of cooking could be sensed.

Maki looked up from adding the chopped vegetables into the omelet Julin was starting to cook in the pan. "Ah, you're awake. Go sit down, and we'll bring out the tea," Maki said as she ushered him out towards the tables. Hakkai blinked but did as he was told, sitting down at one of the places that were set. A few moments later, Maki brought out a pot of tea and poured him a glass before setting it on the table.

"Thank you. Shouldn't you four still be in bed?" Hakkai asked as he sipped the offered tea, which had a faint taste of mint in it.

"We're usually up at dawn when we travel. I guess even though we were under control, our minds never seemed to loose that habit," Maki said with a smile. She seemed to be back to herself again, unlike last night when she was pissed.

"Maki! Get back in here before Julin burns these eggs!" Hitachi yelled from the kitchen.

"Coming!" Maki replied as she ran back into the kitchen.

Hakkai chuckled and sipped his tea again. It didn't take long before Sanzo walked in and sat down. Maki noticed this and ran over quickly. She picked up the pot of tea before Sanzo could and poured a glass for him.

Sanzo frowned slightly, "Thanks."

Maki grinned as she set the pot down again. "You're welcome," she said before speeding back into the kitchen.

Sanzo looked at Hakkai, who chuckled, before picking up his cup and sipping the tea. After a while, Gojyo joined them and got the same treatment from Maki. He was about as confused as everyone else. It didn't take too long before the girls brought out bowls and plates of food. Eggs, omelets, sausage links, toast, and two pitchers of milk were brought out and set on the table before all four of the girls sat down. Hakuryu had finished the sausage link and lay contently on Hakkai's lap.

"Well, everyone's here except Goku," Julin said as she noticed the missing companion.

"Oh, don't worry. Once he smells the food he'll come running," Gojyo said as he lit a cigarette.

Indeed he did. After they had begun to eat, Goku had come running into the room yelling "FOOD!"

As they all ate, Hakuryu had gone back over to Hitachi, who again gave him a piece of her sausage. All four girls sat around Hitachi, petting Hakuryu and giving him a lot of attention. Hakuryu was starting to like all the attention and the offered food.

"He's so cute! I love him," Maki said as she rubbed under Hakuryu's chin.

"He looks so cool. I've never seen anything like him," Kirashi said as she looked at the dragon-like creature.

"Here ya go," Julin said as she handed him another piece of food.

Hakuryu took the offered piece and began to feast upon it. "Cheep."

"Aw, he's so cute," Julin said as she gently petted him.

Hakkai chuckled, "Seems Hakuryu is getting spoiled."

"As if he isn't already spoiled," Sanzo stated as he sipped his tea again.

"So, where you girls off to now that you're free again?" Goku asked.

Julin blinked and thought a bit. "We're heading towards the West. We got some unfinished business to take care of," Kirashi said for her.

"Really? Why don't you come with us? We're heading West too," Goku replied.

"Goku, we don't need to be getting them involved in this," Sanzo said. He didn't need to have more luggage so slow them down. Though there was a voice in the back of his head telling him they wouldn't slow him down. He pushed the voice aside, not needing anything else that'll confuse him.

"Oh come on, Sanzo! They could really help us out!" Goku argued. These girls could help them with their quest to stop the resurrection. They seemed to be able to fight pretty well and didn't seem like they were planning to turn on them any time soon, but they've learned that looks can be deceiving with them.

"Goku's right for once, Sanzo. Besides, we can't just leave them here if we're heading the same way," Gojyo said as he took another drag of his cigarette.

Sanzo sighed at this. They were right. They couldn't just leave them there, and they could help out, so long as they don't turn on them. "Fine, but we'll only take them as far as they need to, got that?" But somehow he doubted they'd be dropping them off any time soon. Somehow he knew they'd be taking them all the way.

"Yeah! We're takin them with us!" Goku yelled with one fist raised in the air.

All four girls blinked. When did they decide they were going to go? This was an odd situation, but interesting all the same.

"I say we do it!" Julin said as she jumped up a bit. "I think it sounds fun."

"Yeah, it sounds like a pretty cool idea," Kirashi agreed.

"What do you say Hitachi? Shall we go?" Maki asked as they looked to their leader.

Hitachi sipped her tea as she thought about it. It would be interesting to travel with someone besides them, and with someone who knew her pain of having to deal with idiots 24/7. "Alright, fine. We'll go, but only as far as we need to. I'd rather not be surrounded too long with more idiots."

"My thoughts exactly," Sanzo replied. It was going to be quite a show to have two stubborn people who think too much alike for their own good.

The rest of the girls cheered as the meal went on. Their journey finally had some direction. All four of the girls knew why Kirashi wanted to head West. She was one who believed in getting revenge with interest, and Yukio was no exception to her rule. Once they reach their destination, the blood of another youkai would be spilled in the night.
