Chapter 4: Rampage
After the quarrel, Goku and Gojyo had engaged themselves in, Goku popped up with another question.
"Ne, Gojyo, don't you think that girl moved strange?"
"Well...sort of. She was all...swift and stuff...good agility I suppose." the red head concluded.
"Is that normal?"
"Dunno...maybe she's...nah...can't be."
"A demon, Gojyo?"
"Yeah...maybe"
"Ano...Sanzo. How did you know that she's a 'gift' from the Merciful Goddess?"
"Because she knew what the talisman said, Hakkai. Apparently the gift comes with a jade talisman with that quote engraved in it. The Sanbutshin told me."
"Well that's good. The more the merrier." Hakkai then turned to Hikaru. "Hikaru-chan, do you have a room?"
The girl pulled her gaze from outside and focussed on Hakkai. "Yea, I booked here before. My room's downstairs"
"Well, that's good. We'll be leaving nice and early tomorrow, after Goku has done eating. Would you mind asking the staff if we can borrow their kitchen tomorrow?"
he finished.
"Yea, okay" she said as she got up.
"Thank you."
The small girl tottered to the door and was about to open it when...
"BANG Sanzo! We're back!" a cheerful male voice called out, which belonged to none other than Goku.
"Here's your smokes, and next time, get them yourself!" Gojyo huffed before peering at the back of the door "Oh...and who's this?" he added in a lighter tone.
Hikaru glared at him. "WHO THE HEDGE OPENED THE FRICKIN DOOR!" she bellowed and half rolled, half slid out while looking rather squashed.
"Ah! Gojyo! She's that girl who stole that man's money!" Goku exclaimed, pointing at the crumpled heap.
"Hey! Couldn't you remember the good part like the 'She's the girl who whooped that paedophales ass down the street!'?" Hikaru objected.
"It's paedophile, Hikaru, paedophile." Hakkai corrected.
At this, Goku began laughing. "She doesn't even know that word! And even I know that word!" he spluttered.
"Hey! At least I don't gobble everything I see!" she retorted.
And as the two argued they managed to become closer and closer.
"SO WHAT, IF I'M NOT PRETTY? THANK THE GODS THAT I'M NOT HIDEOUS LIKE Y..."
Goku peered at the girl in front of him who seemed to be peering back at him.
"What?..."he asked suspiciously as he tried to look away from her ogle.
"You've got those weird eyes...kinda pretty..."she pointed out.
"...Should I say thanks?" he said, obviously embarrassed.
"...and they look expensive too...hmm...I wonder how much they'll sell in the black markets?"
At this, Goku turned pale. "Sanzo! Make her stop! She's scary!"
"Heh! Don't worry! I'm not gonna scoop them out and sell them. Besides..."
she stopped and looked at Goku again. "No one will buy them as they're from a stinking monkey!"
And with that she slipped out the door.
"Sanzo! You mean you brought it here?" Goku exclaimed.
"She was a gift, Goku, a gift." Hakkai justified.
"Well, you could've not accepted it!"
"I personally, don't mind her, it's just that...couldn't you get a more 'developed' one?" Gojyo went on with his perverted ways again.
"Or you could've gotten one that wasn't so hungry for money!"
"Cuter!"
"Nicer!"
"Hotter!"
"Kinder!"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!"
Meanwhile, As Hikaru plodded back to meet the others, she spotted something in the corner of her eye.
"A COIN!"
And then, she was following a coin trail.
While pocketing the coins she noticed something else.
Two figures approaching...demons.
She turned and faced them. "Hey! Snap out of it!"
The demons carried on walking towards her. One of the demons lunged forward and gave four swipes. Hikaru dodged and on the fourth swipe managed to trip the demon. As the first demon fell the second repeatedly lashed out backing Hikaru into a wall. "Is that all you can manage? A few btch slaps?" Hikaru called out.
With its red eyes glowing, the demon swung his axe and it got embedded in the wall, beside Hikaru's ear. Seeing this, Hikaru immediately took action. "An opening!"she cried and she kneed him in the stomach before rotating out from in front of him and knocking him out. As she turned back around she realised that the numbers had increased. Now there stood 5 ugly beasts ready to attack. Hikaru hoisted out the jewelled axe from the wall and hurled it at the nearest demon. The demon dodged and lunged for her pouch of money but Hikaru darted away. Instead of money, the demon ended up with shoe marks over his face.
"Stealing my money? You've got to be kidding!"
A light knock held the boy's attention.
"Yes, come in." Hakkai confirmed and the door slowly opened. Hikaru entered and sat down. "We can use the kitchen tomorrow morning. Isn't that nice?" she smiled sweetly.
"That's very good. Thank you for doing that Hikaru." Hakkai smiled back at the girl.
"Hn...hey," Sanzo beckoned to Hikaru.
"Yes?"
"You want this?" he picked up a few coins.
"No, thank you Master Sanzo. I've got plenty to spare on m..."
The girl stopped speaking as her 'Master Sanzo' had his gun pointed to her head.
"What a bad impersonator..."
"Gosh! They just keep on coming!" Hikaru exclaimed as she knocked out yet another demon. She tossed her pouch in the air, performed three kicks, at different heights and then caught the bag of money again. "Stop coming! I'm like, going on a rampage!" she cried, obviously frustrated.
"Nunchuku!" she yelled and a long pair of red nunchuku's appeared in her hands.
"This should help."
Told ya it will be quick! Please review and wait for the next chapter!
