CHAPTER 4

Paige slowly opened her eyes and adjusted to the light. She looked around, yawned and rubbed her eyes. Where am I? She thought as she got out of the soft bed she was lying in. Paige looked around for Hakkai or any of the other people who were in the jeep. Where's they go? Did they just leave me in an inn? Wait! What if they didn't pay for me and I have to pay later! I don't have that kind of money! She panicked and paced around the room frantically.

"If they left me here, I'll kill them!" She yelled, her fist raised at the ceiling, "They'll regret leaving me, Paige, here! MWA HA HA!" She charged at the door, grabbed the knob and flung the door open.

"Ouch!" A voice said as the door collided with its face.

"AH! Sorry!" She apologized and looked to see who she hit on her outburst.

"It's cool." Goku rubbed his nose and got up from the ground.

Phew. She thought, I thought I hit Sanzo or something. What a relief.

"What were ya doin' swingin' th' dorr open like that anyways?" Goku asked, still rubbing his sore nose.

Paige snapped out of her train of thoughts, "Oh. I was just…" She paused to make up an excuse, "…really hungry, that's all. Really hungry. I wanted break-WAIT!"

Goku stumbled back, shocked at her yelling, "W-what's wait?"

"What time is it?"

"Hm…" He looked around for a clock, "When I woke up it was 'bout eight. We don't get a lot of sleep with Sanzo around. He likes ta wake us up early so we can get goin'."

Paige sighed, "Good. Then I'm going to go get something to eat. Did you eat already?"

He shook his head, "Nu-uh. Can I come with you?"

"Uh…sure, I guess. Nothing wrong with that, right?"

"Nope." Goku grabbed her wrist, "Let's go! I'm starved!"

At a table in the far corner were Sanzo, Hakkai and Gojyo. Sanzo was reading a newspaper, Hakkai was sipping tea and Gojyo was looking at the waitress with hungry eyes. (If you catch my drift. Ha ha)

Goku steered Paige in the direction of their table and sat her down beside him. They all looked at her when she sat down and she blushed from all the eyes.

"Goku, what is she doing here?" Sanzo asked, obviously annoyed.

Gojyo slid over and put his arm around her shoulder, "Sanzo, she can stay. It's nice to have the company of a pretty lady."

THWAK!

"Hey! Why'd ya slap me?" Gojyo asked as he rubbed his stinging cheek.

"You know, you should really ask if someone wants to be flirted with by a pervert." Paige said angrily as she got up and sat on the other side of Goku, away from Gojyo.

Hakkai laughed, "You're probably the first woman I've seen that doesn't like getting flirted with by Gojyo, Paige."

Goku laughed at Hakkai's comment and what Paige did to Gojyo, "Yeah. Good job, slappin' that stupid kappa."

"Hey, who ya callin' a kappa, you small-brained monkey!" Gojyo retorted.

"Small-brained monkey! You pervert, at least I have a brain!" Goku yelled back.

Sanzo gritted his teeth and took out a paper fan, "Shut up!" He whacked them both over the head and they wimpered.

Paige giggled, "Ha ha, good job, Mr. Priesty." She gave him a thumbs up.

Hakkai smiled, "I believe the buffet is open now. Goku, you may go eat."

Both Paige and Goku shot up, out of their seats and said in unison, "Buffet! MINE!" They both shot I'm-going-to-beat-you glances at each other and ran to the buffet on the other side of the room.

Authoress Notes: Whoa. I haven't updated in a very long time. Sorry about that. I hope you forgive me. Ha ha. Well, thanks for the reviews and all. It makes me feel all warm inside knowing that people read my fanfic. -sniffs-

cough cough- Ah yes, I shall update next week-ish, or maybe even later today, if I feel like it and all...WAIT! If i do update today, you shall have to review both chapters. MWA HA HA.

Sanzo: Greedy bitch.

Me: -le gasp- What? -cries-

Hakkai: -pats sorrowful smiles on back- It's okay, he didn't mean it.

Me: Really? -sniffs-

Sanzo: Of course I did.

Well...anyways, I just had to do that. -ahem- And no, I just want you to review so I know you read both chapters, not just one of 'em. Well, I guess you don't have to review both, if you don't want to, or if you're too lazy. Heh heh. Like me. Joking, joking.
