My Unforgettable Vacation

Chapter 10

Hakkai's POV

We soon arrived at the hospital and were heading towards her room. Gojyo and Goku were into their usual quarrels again, with Sanzo trailing behind them, annoyed. I've tried stopping them, but failed.

Finally, a nurse who was passing by shushed them. I thanked her gratefully as we continued to walk down the hall towards her room. I was about to knock the door when I heard her talking to someone. I paused to listen to their conversation, since I heard the tone of fear and worry in her voice.

"What am I to do, Rye?"

"Calm down, Yue…"

"I'm trying, Rye…"

Gojyo approached me when he noticed I didn't unbolt the door. He looked at me questioningly.

"Shh…Listen…"I whispered.

The three quietly got closer to the door and listened as well.

"Gome ne, Yue… If I knew…-"

"But how did they know I was here?"Yue's voice quivered.

"I don't know…" Rye replied, just as upset.

"What am I to do???" Yue tried to control herself from breaking down.

"Yue! Get a hold of yourself!"Rye gripped her tight.

"I-I'm trying…"

"Good. Now, answer me… What EXACTLY did he asked you?" Rye's voice was serious.

"H-he wanted me to tell him about their whereabouts…"

"They? You mean your friends? Did you tell him?"

"No! I didn't tell him anything! I just wanted him to leave!!! If you didn't enter the room before, I don't know what'll he do to me…"

"It's okay now, Yue. Calm down…" Rye shushed her gently.

"That's it. I've had enough of this…" A voice startled us.

All of us stared at the person unbolting the door. It was Sanzo.

Gojyo, Goku and I exchanged surprised looks as he swung the door roughly open. What's gotten into him?

Yue and Rye got a shock when the door swung open. But she felt relieved when she saw it were them.

"Minna-san…hi!"She quickly rubbed away the tears forming in her eyes.

"Who are they, Yue?" Rye looked at them suspiciously.

"Oh, you haven't met them yet have you, Rye? These are the friends I've been telling you about…" She told her and introduced them to each other.

"Hmm… well, they're a weird bunch if you ask me…" Rye muttered, making Yue chuckle.

"I heard that, you baka onna!" Sanzo told her.

"What did you call me???" Rye glared at him.

"Now, now… everyone, calm down!" Hakkai told them.

Sanzo's POV

Ch! Damn this nurse! How did Yue know her at the first place? She's just as annoying as the others are! …But still…I guess it's a good thing she's here…

Hakkai placed the thermos he brought on the table beside her as Gojyo and Goku gave her their gifts. I was about to sit down on a chair when I noticed a broken vase containing the flowers Gojyo brought the day before were scattered on the floor by the wall.

"Yue?"I began.

"Yes?"

"Are those flowers terrible, that you have to bash them to the wall, or is it about something else?"

I knew that caught her and Rye off guard. The others were quiet as well.

"See, Gojyo? I told you the flowers were too much!" Goku suddenly voiced out.

"Hey! There's nothing wrong with them, you bakasaru!!!"

"Omae…" I sweatdropped, watching them quarrel again.

Yue chuckled watching them. Somehow, it gave me a somewhat comforting feeling watching her smiling again… Wait a minute! Why am I thinking like this??? What's gotten into me??? Snap out of it!!!

"Gome ne, Gojyo… I didn't mean to do that…I love the flowers, and today you brought a beautiful bunch too. I really appreciate them… but… I didn't know what gotten into me…"she paused.

"Yue? Do you want to tell them what happened?" Rye patted her gently on the shoulder.

She nodded.

"My brother came today…" she looked down. "Just looking at him…standing there, made me want to go insane… I-I didn't want him near me at all…So I…I threw that jar at him, to tell him he wasn't welcomed…"

I was looking straight at her. So were the others. I felt disgust and anger were boiling up in me once more.

"But, how did he know you're here?" Hakkai asked.

"I-I don't know…"

"He came… to find out where we lived, didn't he?" Goku asked seriously.

His sudden change of character surprised us. Ch! Looks like, sometimes he does think of other things besides food…

Gojyo's POV

"How did you-?"

"Sumimasen…we heard your conversation…"Hakkai explained.

"I see…It's okay." Yue smiled bitterly. "I…

The sadness in her eyes… It doesn't suit her at all. She was a cheerful person… I hate it when I see her cry, nor being upset… Making a girl like her like this… Those bastards are going to pay!!!

"You shouldn't have done that…" I found myself saying that outloud.

Everyone was looking at me now. I glanced back at all of them with a smirk on my face.

"If you told them where we were, that'll make it easier for us to pulverize them!" I continued.

"Yeah! I agree with Gojyo! It's been some time since I had some REAL fun!!!"Goku voiced out.

Heh! Looks like Goku's seriousness didn't last long…

"…No…I can't just do that… no matter what you say…" she said.

"…You did the right thing, Yue…" Rye told her.

"Ehh. I really admire your bravery, Yue…" Hakkai smiled gently at her.

"Still, we won't allow you to go on carrying this burden alone!"I smirked again.

Goku and Hakkai nodded in agreement. Sanzo was still being his unemotional, cold-hearted self, but I knew he too agreed. It's not like he had a choice now…

"What are you grinning about, Gojyo?" Sanzo glared at me.

"Nothing…" I quickly turned to look at something else.

That was close! How did he do that??? Can he read minds or something???

They decided to take turns staying with her that day. Sanzo was first, followed by Gojyo, Hakkai and Goku.

"Take good care of her, ne, Sanzo?"Goku told him, making the other three chuckle.

"Urusei!!! Omae wo korosu!!!" He warned them as the door slammed shut.

Sanzo sank into the chair he sat earlier, giving out an annoyed sigh.

"You shouldn't be doing this, really…" Yue told him after a few minutes passed by.

"Do you think I like doing this as well??? They forced me into this dumb plan of theirs!!!"

"I guess you're right…" Yue smiled.

"Ch!"

Silence.

"Sanzo?"

"Nanda?"

"Arigato…for everything…"

Sanzo paused before answering, gazing at her.

"You should thank them… not me…"

"Well, I wouldn't have known them if I hadn't known you, right?"

"…Ch!" He stood up and headed towards the door.

"Oi…"

"Hai?" Yue looked at him.

"Are we having a private conversation?"

"Well… there's only the both of us here…"she began.

"YOU GUYS HEARD THAT???" He unbolted the door roughly, and the four of them fell down in front of him!

"Err…Hi, Sanzo!" Goku nervously greeted him.

The others were already smiling nervously at him. Yue blinked watching the lot on the floor. Sanzo was looking at them threateningly.

"Were you guys…eavesdropping our conversation?" Yue asked.

"N-no we wasn't! We were, uh…just…" Gojyo was lost of words.

"…eavesdropping…" Sanzo finished the sentence for him.

"Uh…We'll be strolling around now…" Rye nudged the others to get up.

"Y-Yeah…That's what we're gonna do now…BYE!!!" Gojyo agreed and the four made a run for it!

Sanzo watched them vanish from the hall and shut the door.

"Ch! Baka…" he muttered.

Yue laughed lightly watching his reaction.

"What's so funny?"

"Iya…"she smiled.

"Ch!" He sank into the chair again.

Silence too over once more. Both were in their own thoughts. One was thinking what to do next, the other was arguing with himself whether it was important to say what was on his mind at that moment…

Senko-san: Okay! I gotta stop again for now. It's getting late and I need some sleep… Oh! Just in case I'm not able to continue soon, MAY NEXT YEAR BE A SPLENDID NEW BEGINNING FOR YOU!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
