Part Two: Miserable Maiden

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Desert Mishap……

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How far till we get there anyway" Goku looked out of the car, looking at the endless sandy mountains that cover the area. It was getting very windy, not to mention very hot.

"Well the map said it wasn't so far" Hakkai announced, as he turned his head back for a quick second.

"Check the map" Hakkai stopped the car and took out the map that Sanzo ordered him to do. Hakkai stared at the map for a couple of minutes, then looked up pointing his finger at all the all sandy mountains.

Sanzo looked at Hakkai, losing his patience with him now, "Well?" Hakkai bowed his head down, and then raised his head up "I don't know?"

Sanzo looked at him, he reached his hand over to the map, and Hakkai held the other side "Let me see that" Sanzo took a long look at it.

Gojyo and Goku looked at each other fed up. Zonaki glared at the complaining couple in the front.

"It said that way…"

"No I aim to disagree"

Just hearing these too, is driving Zonaki up the wall and she's not in the mood to play referee. Zonaki stood up and leaned herself forward placing each of her hands at the opposite sides of Sanzo and Hakkai seats.

"Quite it the both of you…" Zonaki took the map slowly away from them, Hakkai and Sanzo blinked at the same time. "You sound like an old couple by the way you argue"

'What is she up too?' Sanzo took out his cigarette and tapped it at the edge of the jeep, leaving the countless particles of ash at the side of it.

Zonaki looked at the map carefully you can tell she wasn't in the mood to play around.

"We're going the right way, the deserts just bigger than we hoped" Zonaki chucked the map into the front seat, as it flew down gently onto Hakkai's lap.

Zonaki sighed as she dropped her self back into her seat, hearing the constant groans of Gojyo.

Sanzo looked at the back seat and inserted the cigarette back into his mouth. "Well better get going then" Hakkai announced. The sound of the jeep started to fill the air. Goku started to fiddle with his thumbs, out of boredom.

"Hey you know we haven't been attacked yet since we left the last village" Gojyo looked forward, he was getting bored too, anyone could tell. Goku snapped out of his fiddling "Yeah! And I'm bored out of my skull"

Sanzo looked over to Goku, glaring "Deal with it"

Zonaki closed her eyes "Actually I'll have to agree with those two, the fact that we're not being attacked yet board's me, I'd wish they'd come so we can give them a beating"

There was complete silence though out the jeep.

Gojyo, Sanzo and Goku stared; Hakkai was looking from his mirror. Zonaki noticed the silence she opened one eye and looked at the corner. Zonaki sighed ready to break the silence "What?"

Gojyo smirked and hung his arm around Zonaki "Zonaki you're starting to amaze me…I didn't know we had a Sanzo double in the back" Sanzo looked back, got his gun out and pointed it towards Gojyo, you can tell that Sanzo was pissed off at that remark. Zonaki inserted her fist into the other hand and cracked her knuckles, looks like she didn't find it so amusing either.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nothing really?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Goku laid his head back, moaning at the fact that there's nothing interesting to do.

Hakkai turned his mirror over to Goku hearing the moans. "What's wrong?" Goku replied "Oh nothing, nothing really…" Goku then brought his head up in anger "Although the fact that I'm dying of boredom" Zonaki closed her eyes and shook her head "Dido" agreeing with Goku's statement.

"Zonaki you haven't really said much since we left…" Hakkai turned his mirror over to Zonaki, Zonaki didn't answer she just looked out into the sandy ocean that they were speeding though.

Hakkai sighed, looks like he's not going to get a decent conversation from her today. Gojyo smacked Zonaki at the back of her head. Zonaki turned round "What the hell was that for?" Gojyo replied "Stop being so miserable and have a chat" Zonaki closed her eyes "I don't feel like it"

"Come on you haven't spoken a decent conversation with us all day"

"Maybe that's because I'm not in the mood" Zonaki turned her head back to the endless sand terrain.

"Why, though? Why aren't you in the mood?" Gojyo ordered. No answer. "Come on Zonaki" No comment was made again. "Say something for crying out loud?"

"Gojyo, if Zonaki doesn't want to talk then that's okay" Hakkai looked at the viewing mirror again. Hakkai didn't want those two to go into an argument all because he asked a question.

"Man you are turning into another Sanzo" Zonaki turned her head round slowly. She cracked her knuckles "Make another stupid comment like that again and I'm going to have to annihilate you"

Gojyo raised his hands up "Dam ease up, I was only joking, you Miserable Witch"

'Why don't I just die already?'

Zonaki sighed looking out of the jeep, at the empty nothingness that surrounded the Jeep that surrounded her soul.
