Chapter Two:

Meeting the Gang

Say that again?

"Gayia huh? That's a nice name" Gojyo complemented as they excited the shop. He took one foot and placed it back into the damp, dark pathway. Gayia walked after him. She felt relieved that she'd excited the place. Although now the clerk will tell one of her older brothers and then they'll hassle her and then want to know what happened, but Gayia knew that it was only because they were worried about her.

They continued to walk until they left the darkened alleyway that was soon out of sight behind them. Gayia looked over to Gojyo. The read head looked back at her and then gave her a friendly smirk.

"Hey would you know where I can find an Inn?" he asked as the wind made a violent blow so strong that Gayia dropped the second bag as it cascaded unto the ground, many of the contents escaping from the paper bag. She panicked as she bended down to pick them up. Gayia picked up the packet and placed it back into the bag as she reached her hand out again to grab a hold of the apple but then another came down and picked it up for her.

She withdrew her hand quickly and looked up to see Gojyo trying to help.

"Y…You don't need to do it…I dropped them…I can pick them up…" she informed as she took the packet gently from his hand. Understanding, Gojyo smiled and stood up with the second packet that he held in his hand placing it into the bag.

"Why do you need an Inn?" Gojyo looked over and smiled back as he took a cigarette and inserted it into his mouth. Then fiddled in his pocket for a lighter as he brought it out and lit it.

"Me and a couple of my…comrades…need a place to stay…but all the other places wouldn't let us in…'cause they were all full for da' night"

Gayia looked at him then sighed…might as well bring him and his friends to the Inn. Feeling tired she thought she might as well make it quick cause the usual drunks and drug addicts would surely come out and she knows how frightening this place gets when it all goes pitch black.

"Sure I…I…think there is…one place…but…we have to…hurry because it might not open for long…" Gojyo smirked and then placed the lighter back into his pocket.

"Right might as well find 'em first" he walked off, Gayia followed as they walked down the street ways. The cold beating against her. Giving her a certain chill down her spine. The cramp streets were completely taken in by the darkness all you can see is the little lights that beacon out of the windows.

It made Gayia feel even more depressed and lost.

I'm zoning out again aren't I? She thought as she shook her head to rid herself of the thought that continued to haunt her.

"Oh there they are…Yo! Violent droopy eyes!" Gojyo shouted out, Gayia snapped out of her thought and looked ahead to see an iron vehicle in front with three people on bored. One of them was what looks to be a Priest with blond hair, the one sitting next to him was a man with green clothing, a white sash, a monocle, and his hair dipped in a brunette colour. There was a teenager sitting in the back he seemed to be a sleep. He wore a pinkish-red shirt, creamy jeans; a diadem placed on his head and light brown, chocolate hair and wore an orange cape which was hanging out of the jeeps side swaying from side to side.

"Gojyo!" shouted the brunette as he stepped out of the jeep, a smile printed across his face as he closed his eyes.

"Bought time you came back you fucking kappa!" the priest yelled. Gayia didn't seem to mind the language that just escaped the priest's mouth she just stood there as he removed himself from the seat and threw a harisen at the red head as it collided into Gojyo's face.

"Ease up Sanzo…want good news or bad news?" he looked over to the brunette.

"Good news first please Gojyo…Sanzo might as well hear something that will lighten his gloomy day" the priest took out a gun and slowly pointed it at him as he pulled the trigger hearing the metal click.

"You want to die that badly Hakkai?"

"The good news is that I think I might've found us a place to bunk in?" Sanzo glared at him and blurted out "And the bad news?" Gayia watched as they continued their chattering as the man known as Hakkai walked over and stood beside her.

"Sorry about this…it happens all the time"

"Ahh?" Gayia went as she watched.

"The bad news is they don't have any cigarettes" as the sound of a bullet being fired filled the air. Gayia flinched as her eyes went straight small. Reacting to the noise made her jump, as she accidentally dropped another paper bag again.

Before it can make an impact on the ground, Hakkai caught it and gently handed it back to her. Gayia see's that the young teen has just shot up awakened from his pleasant slumber.

What an odd bunch…

"Okay…but on one condition... who is this girl?" Gayia jumped as the priest looked over to her. Gayia blushed and took a deep breath ready to introduce her self.

"My name is Gayia…Van Gayia…I…I work in an Inn…cal…called the 'Wing Blade Inn'…" Sanzo looked at her for a while then tsked.

"I bet your prices are stupidly out of control too?" Gayia reacted, UN aware what her actions will cause.

"Actually we're thee most cheapest place in town…for a person signally is about…one hundred and fifty yen and for children is fifty yen…" Sanzo's ears pricked up at the sound of those prices.

"So three adults plus child…will…come up to about…three hundred yen all together…even though we don't have much to offer but we're said to be the most famous Inn in the whole village even though we're not a fancy place or anything but we can…"

"Where about is the Inn?"

To Be Continued

Sanzo's Guardian Angel: Thought I might as well introduce the gang…besides there's no Gojyo if there'sd no Sanzo, Hakkai and Goku right. Not as good as the last one though.
