And now THE FINALE!
Hanami blinked as she heard birds twittering outside her window, she slowly began to realise that she was in a room…not Goku's it was smaller and a lot barer. She craned her neck and saw an oaken desk and a heater, there was a shelf with books in it and a vase of flowers sitting on said desk, holding branches covered in cherry blossoms.
"Pretty," she sighed stopping when she heard a light snore come from below her.
She turned her head and saw a certain bald monk lying on the floor next to the bed; he was curled up in a cat position and had his thumb dangerously close to his mouth.
"Yoh," she smiled, wincing slightly at the feeling of a large plaster over her cheek.
"Ah!" she reached up and touched it wincing slightly at the feeling of the torn skin under the bandage.
Yoh stirred in his sleep and sat up rubbing his eyes quickly.
"I WAS JUST RESTING HAKKAI I'M NOT TIRED!" he yelled angrily before realising Hakkai wasn't there.
He looked up at Hanami and gasped.
"Ha…Hana…" he stuttered.
"Hiya!" she grinned her eyes closed like a cats.
"HANAMI" Yoh cried hugging her and laughing.
"You scared the hell out of me! I thought you were dead one minute I'm walking up the corridors wondering why you weren't in the courtyard, the next I'm summoned by Mister Hakkai to assist him in stopping you bleeding AND THEN…"
"And then you insisted on trying to wake her up all night before finally conking out yourself!" A voice from the doorway sighed.
The two teenagers turned their heads at Hakkai's voice; he was leaning against the doorframe his shirt slightly opened and a pair of wrinkled jeans on.
His face was tired and he had his glasses off making his eyes look smaller than usual.
"Hakkai" Hanami smiled.
"Yoh, would you be so kind in telling Sanzo that Miss Hanami is awake?" Hakkai smiled as the young boy nodded.
"HAI" Yoh smiled running to the door after a brief hug with Hanami.
"Oh yeah, I hope you like the cherry blossoms Hanami! Master Goku-san told me to pick them for you!" he grinned waving as he went down the hall blushing as he walked past Hakkai.
"Hm, what a character!" Hakkai sighed causing Hanami to giggle.
"Like you're one to speak!" she teased patting the bed.
Hakkai pointed to himself in fake shock and smiled sitting down and hugging Hanami.
"I'm so glad you're alright…you seem…happier today," Hakkai said staring fondly at her from arms distance, regarding her cheek and sighing slightly.
"I wish you'd let it heal!" he sighed in a mock scolding feeling his own scar on his stomach jab at him.
"Aww but then I can't spend time with you!" she smiled cheekily.
Hakkai smiled and poked her in the stomach.
"What has gotten into you today eh?" he joked frowning again.
"Haven't been eating have you?" he sighed giving her a stern look.
Hanami frowned.
"Hey, you're skinny too y'know! Don't go lecturing me!" she grumbled pouting.
Hakkai shook his head and looked at her slyly.
"But didn't I hear you say you wanted to get stronger? How do you expect to get strong if all you are is skin and bones?" he said causing her eyes to glitter.
She sighed and looked at the plate sitting on the desk.
"How the hell are vegetables supposed to get me strong? I NEED MEAT!" she groaned her belly rumbled in agreement.
"See! He wants meat too!" she smiled triumphantly.
Hakkai laughed and nodded.
"Oi, I take it the cannibals up eh?" Gojyo smiled walking in and depositing his smoke in the corridor.
Hakkai raised an eyebrow at the smoky smell but kept his mouth shut watching as Gojyo sat on a chair, his chest on the back of it so he could lean his chin against it.
Hanami smiled, her eyes closed.
"Hiya"
"Sheesh you really do look like a fox you know that!" Gojyo smirked patting her on the head.
"Ah! I've heard of Fox demons, masters of music!" Hakkai explained a smile on his face, "I think their called…"
"Kitsune you said it before!" Hanami smiled making Hakkai smile back at her
"Well it's nice to know SOMEONE listens to me!" he laughed looking accusingly at Gojyo.
"Wha…I LISTEN!" he yelled in defence.
Hakkai held out three fingers silencing the red haired man.
"Three times I tell you every Wednesday is trash day! But do you listen," Hakkai sighed winking at Hanami.
"Bad cockroach" Hanami laughed.
"EH! NOT YOU TOO! YOU SILLY BUSHY TAILED RODENT" he growled gnawing his lip.
"Nuh-uh I'm only inu-kitsune!" she smiled holding up her index finger.
Gojyo stopped at those words and Hakkai stared at her.
"Which makes me more special" she smiled yawning slightly, pulling on a strand of her red hair.
Gojyo smiled and winked at her.
"Ya got that straight darling!" he looked over at Hakkai who was smiling also.
She looked at Hakkai and blinked causing him to look at her startled.
"What?"
"You're eyes look all…naked," she explained causing him to blush.
"THERE SO CUTE!" she teased pulling his cheeks out.
"h-HEY!" he yelled tickling her causing her to squeal in protest.
Gojyo looked at them and laughed.
"Heh-heh," he smirked stretching slightly, he looked up at the door and saw Sanzo walk in a scowl on his face before he punched him in the face.
"OW WHAT THE BLUE FU…"
"DAMN KAPPA WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE IN A GARBAGE DISPOSSAL?" Sanzo screamed holding up the Hi-Lite and flicking it at him.
"Oh shit my bad," he smiled cockily regarding the monk's slightly charred bottom robe.
"I'LL BAD YOU!" he screamed whacking him on the head.
"Ah Master Sanzo please remember, Buddha is all…" Yoh urged stopping when Gojyo let out a pain hollering yell, "…forgiving?" he squeaked hiding behind a wincing Hakkai.
"Ah-ah, Educational guidance!" he laughed.
Hanami smiled looking around her as she heard the door open.
Gold eyes stared down at her from the doorway and she smiled widely.
Goku stood in the doorway regarding all he stares he received, he stared at Hanami and his eyebrows lifted at her position.
She was in Hakkai's arms; the two looking suspicious, Yoh sitting on her bed, Sanzo was standing over them with Gojyo on the floor.
"Ah…you look better" he said lamely causing Hakkai to let go of her and smile at the brunette.
"I…uh guess I should let you recover more the…"
"GOKU!" she smiled jumping out of bed and onto the young Brunette.
"AH HANAMI"
THUMP!
Goku groaned at the feeling of cold floor underneath him sighing slightly and frowning down at Hanami clinging to his chest.
"Hey, I should be the one jumping on YOU!" he sighed stopping when he felt tears on his shirt.
"Huh?"
Hanami had tears flowing down her happy cheeks as she buried her face into Goku's chest further,
"You came to check up one me!" she said nuzzling into his chest.
Goku looked at her dumbstruck.
"I'm so glad!" she whispered causing him to smile.
"Hanami," he sighed happily hugging her closely to him, Hanami hiccupped and looked up at him smiling.
Hakkai and Gojyo looked at each other and motioned to Sanzo who was regarding the monkey with tired eyes.
"Yeesh it's like that time he found a new puppy," He groaned still staring at the two.
"Actually it reminds me more of the story a monk who once found a monkey!" Hakkai teased winking at Gojyo who waggled his eyebrows suggestively back.
Sanzo raised an eyebrow at the man and turned around.
"Tch," he muttered lighting a cigarette between hidden smiling lips, he exhaled and turned to the two,
"You'll have to tell me it some time," he sighed.
Yoh looked at the three and sighed.
"Shall I make tea then?"
Hanami smiled up at Goku who rubbed his thumb along her eye.
"Hm, I'd better tell Lirin that you're okay!" he smiled getting up and holding her arms.
Hanami's eyes glittered and he began to walk away.
"CAN I COME!" she yelled, Goku turned around thinking for a minute before winking and holding out a hand.
"No problem!" he smiled holding his hand out and wobbling slightly when she grabbed his arm laughing as she dragged him down the temple steps.
"STEADY ON!" he gasped as the knocked into the monks, who were opening the temple doors,
"STUPID MONKEY"
"INU-KITSUNE ACTUALLY" Hanami laughed causing Goku to give her a puzzled look.
She ran hard down the steps letting go of Goku to jump down the last six landing stretching up to the sky as she did.
"Ne Sanzo," Hakkai smiled sipping on the tea as he watched Goku mount a horse in the courtyard pulling Hanami onto it with him.
"Ron, What is it?" he said looking up from him and Gojyo's mah-jong game.
"Stupid priest" Gojyo grumbled,
"I just had a sense of Deja-vu!" Hakkai laughed.
"Ah! A blessing from Buddha" Yoh smiled, pouring milk into Hakkai's cup.
"Or last nights ramen," Gojyo snickered causing the boy to frown.
"You compare Buddha's powers to RAMEN?"
"There was spring onion in it," Gojyo explained.
Yoh went to say something but stopped smiling.
"Oh…"
"I like spring onion." Yoh smiled widely pouring Gojyo coffee gaining a wink from the red haired man.
"That a sport!"
Hanami held onto Goku's waist as they sped off in the courtyard, the feeling of the ground under them, Hanami smiled up at him.
"WHERE ARE WE MEETING HER!" she yelled causing Goku to smile.
"SOMEWHERE IN THE MEADOW!" he yelled back his eyes focused on the river where a large waterfall was placed.
Hanami followed his gaze and smiled.
That…will be nice…I'm sure in the sun it'll look pretty.
She stopped when she felt something hit her nose and touched the velvet like object smiling a tear forming in her eye when she held it up into her view.
A cherry blossom,
She hugged Goku the cherry blossom held tightly in her hand, more falling onto her hair as they sped off through the meadows path.
"I'm free," she smiled as the lake came into view,
And it feels…
"GOKU! Hanami!" Lirin's voice called as the two stopped in front of her, Hanami was enveloped in a hug and she smiled inwardly to herself.
Kanzeon Bosatsu smiled at her, images of Goku and Nataku flew in her head, it stopped with an image of them smiling at her waving with Konzen behind them, the images were replaced with Gojyo, Hakkai, Sanzo, Yoh, Lirin… and Goku.
Safe.
A voice
End.
