Goku: ...I'm really hungry?
Me: That works. -shrugs-
Goku: WHOOPEE! -runs off-
Gojyo: Damn.. I have to go shopping. -runs off-
Hakkai stands there and sweatdrops as Sanzo has an evil look in his eyes. Sanzo reaches for banishing gun. Hakkai grows worried and raises hand.
Hakkai: I'll do it this time. -sweatdrops-
Me: Thank you.
Hakkai: Yare yare...Disclaimer: Neokie does not own Saiyuki.
Sanzo: Finally.
Me: Oh and I edited some chapters if you want to know.
Sanzo: They don't wanna know.
Me: How do you know?
Sanzo: -loads pistol-
Me: -blinks- Nevermind.

Goku sat by the fireside, hugging his knees to his face. Sanzo remained seated at the table, reading the newspaper and wearing his glasses. Goku glanced at the door where Kanatu still lay asleep. The third day and she hadn't woken up yet since the incident. Gojyo walked into through the inn door, lugging a bag over his shoulder. He slammed it down onto the table unintentionally. Sanzo ignored it even as the table creaked, threatening to break in half. He continued reading and turned the page. Gojyo set himself down in a chair and looked around. He scratched the back of his crimson head and let out a half-sigh.
Hakkai of course came last into the room, a smile on his face that soon faded after he saw the quiet trio. Goku raised his head and looked over to him. "...Is..She still okay?" Hakkai nodded and smiled. "Don't worry. She's fine. The doctor said she'll wake up soon." Goku smiled and grinned, hope in the golden pupils of the heretic shined and Hakkai smiled. "Anyway. It's time for lunch." Sanzo commented, crushing the ciggerate into the ash tray. Goku's eyes widened as he grinned even wider. "Whoopee! Lunchtime!" He jumped into the air and nearly fell into the fireplace, he stumbled forward and away from the blazing fire.
Gojyo smirked and nodded, standing up from his seat and stretching. Looking outside towards the rain he raised an eyebrown and shook his head. "Damn it's still raining..." A small figure entered the room. Taller then Goku but shorter then Hakkai, Sanzo, and Gojyo. Holding a tray with some cups she smiled, her brown hair fell to one side and her blue eyes twinkled. "I brought you some tea." She commented, setting it down on the table. Gojyo raised an eyebrow and approached the woman. "Hi...Mind telling me where your room is?" The woman stepped back in surpise then laughed with a smile. "Oh I'm sorry, I'm married."
Gojyo dropped his head and Sanzo appraoched from behind, whacking him on the back of the head with his harisen. "You should have looked at her left hand before asking stupid kappa." He shook his head and walked abck to the table. Gojyo glanced at the innkeeper's hand and found a ring as she walked out with a smile. Gojyo sighed and sat down as the Ikku sat down to eat. Goku devours nearly everything that was set in the table. Including a few other things... "Damnit saru! You ate a fork!" Gojyo yelled as Goku hit his chest and swallowed.
Goku let out a sigh of relief and nodded. "How was I supposed to know!" Gojyo shook his head only in response.
"I don't know maybe because forks are hard and pointy! Idiot!"
"Silence"
Sanzo yelled, firing his banishing gun into the air, the bullet flew through the roof and didn't return. Goku and Gojyo held each other in fear of both the bullet and Sanzo while Hakkai tried to calm them down once more, stepping in as the peacemaker. "Ahahahaha. Now, now." He said, smiling as usual. Sanzo shook his head and sat down. Goku and Gojyo both retired to their rooms. On the way Goku looked inside Kanatu and smiled when he found her still there, sleeping, breathing, alive and not dead. He didn't want this to end up like wtih Toufa.
In the room Goku looked out the window. Gojyo smirked and approached the monkey, flicking him on the head. "Admit it, you're in love saru!" Goku rubbed his head and glared, standing up to Gojyo in response. "No I'm not! I just care about her okay!" Gojyo shrugged and sat down on his bed. "Same thing saru, same thing."
xXxXx
Kanatu winced as sweat poured down her forehead. The only thing she could hear in her mind was her heavy breathing and the rain that came down like hail. She found blurry images in her head as she remembered why and where she had been before widning up dragging herself on the dirt road.
Ooh...XFlashbackX
"Kanzeon Bosatsu! Kanzeon Bosatsu!"
Jiro Shin called, running down the hall. Entering the room he found the Goddess once again viewing the mortal world. She smirked and looked over. "Yes Jiro Shin? Ah yes I have a favor...Would you go find Kanatu for me?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. Jiro Shin nodded, bowing to her. "Yes my Goddess." He ran out of the room. Kanzeon walked over to the throne and feasted her eyes on Nataku. Placing her hands around his face she felt no emotion and frowned. "You wouldn't mind if I sent your counterpart over Nataku would you? Afterall, he still doesn't remember."
There she walked in. Kanatu wearing a white dress and blue vest. She appeared barefoot, bowing before Kannon. She rose and looked up at her. "What do you need Kannon?" Kanzeon smirked and walked over to Kanatu from Nataku. She placed her hand on Kanatu's head and spoke. "I need you to go to Earth. Watch over a certain Ikkou. They're currently heading west. Surely you remember the incident 500 years ago?" Kanatu shook her head and Kannon laughed. Of course, Kanatu had her memories of that incident erased. Kannon smirked.
"Then just go to Earth and find the Sanzo Ikkou. Tell them that you were sent by me. If you can remember long enough. Good luck."
