Guess who! Yeah…Springwolf --. Sorry I haven't updated in so long. I sorta…forgot about this. Well, now I'm back with an update! I'd like to say the same for Vixen…--;

Chapter four: Off again?

"Gojyo-onichan!" Shinda shouted. "Here! Carry my bag!"

Gojyo hoisted the bag over his shoulder and took a puff from the cigarette he was smoking. "You used to be such a gentle girl," he muttered. "What happened?"

"You LEFT ME!" she shouted. "This snappy me is YOUR FAULT! I USED TO BE SO CUTE! NOW I'M JUST REALLY, REALLY SEXY WITH A BAD ATTITUDE!"

"No, that's not true!" Gojyo muttered, dumping the bag in Hakuryu's trunk. "You're not that sexy."

Shinda stared at him. "Boy, I shudda seen that one coming. Jerk! You never loved me! Only Doku cared!" she cried, storming back into the hotel.

"Chocho-chan!" Gojyo shouted, running after her into the hotel. "CHOCHO-CHAN! Get back here!"

Namida and Goku sat on the ground, watching them.

"I'm glad I'm not old," Namida said. "I hate boys. They're so clingy."

Goku glared at her. "Then what are you doing traveling with a truck full of men?" he asked.

"Men!" Namida asked. "You guys are MALE!"

"Namida!" Goku wined exasperated. "You're kidding!"

"Relax, Monkey breath! I'm just kidding! Geez," Namida said, waving a hand in dismissal. "How are we all gonna fit in that car, by the way?"

"They'll find a way," Goku muttered.

"Guys!" Hakkai called. "We're leaving now!"

Goku jumped up and ran to the car. "Dibs this side!" Goku said, leaping into the back. "Common, Nami!"

"Oh, no! Goku, you can't sit there!" Hakkai smiled.

"What'da'ya mean?" Goku asked.

"We have a few more people in the car than usual, so it's gonna be a little different," Hakkai said, climbing into the driver's seat.

"This is gonna be interesting," Sanzo muttered, slamming the car door.


"Gojyo! Stop moving!" Goku snapped.

"It you're not happy, get off my lap!" Gojyo shouted back.

"You think I wouldn't? THERE'S NO SPACE!"

"I can make space!" Gojyo said threateningly.

"How!" Goku asked.

"By throwing you outta the car, that's how!" Gojyo snapped.

"Try, I dare ya!" Goku snapped back.

"Shut up, you two!" Shinda shouted. "You're getting on my nerves!"

"Stay out of it, Chocho!" Gojyo snapped.

"YOU WANT MORE SPACE?" Shinda asked. "YOU WANT MORE SPACE! FINE! I'LL GIVE YOU MORE SPACE!" She jumped out of the car. "I'm going home!"

For once, everyone was silent as they watched Shinda run into the forest, her footsteps fading with distance.

"So," Goku asked, staring at Gojyo. "Anyone gonna go and get her?

. "Fine, I'll do it!" Gojyo said, leaping out and running after her into the forest. "Chocho-chan! Come back! There are bugs in the forest!"

There was another awkward silence as they watched Gojyo fade into the distance.

"We'll camp here tonight," Hakkai said, stepping out of the car and pulling out a few blankets.

Not a very long chapter is it? Oh well. Chocho-chan in trouble again.
