Dragon: We do not own any part of Saiyuki, but I belong to Onee-san!

Michiru: What she said… I think…

Chapter 2: Strange Fortune

Dragon and Gojyo walked down the street heading for the market. Dragon was on Gojyo's back waving at the people passing by. Of course they got a few looks at them. Gojyo was too happy to think twice about it since he was busy trying to have looks of his own.

"What should we buy for din-din (din-dindinner by Dragon's standards)? I want some Ramon and pocky. Yes lots of pocky," Dragon said to Gojyo leaning over to see his face.

"What the Hell is pocky?" Gojyo asked.

"A icing covered biscuit sticks. It's like a cookie that is a stick. I want banana pocky!" Dragon replied. They soon reached a strange stall with a sign overhead saying: All the Ramon and Pocky you can buy for only 5000 yen! Get a free fortune cookie!

"How convenient…" Gojyo muttered. He dropped Dragon to the ground while she ran inside to buy the food. A few minutes later she came out with two full bags and a cookie in her month. She dropped the bags and looked at her fortune.

"You will receive a great fortune, but it will cost you… I wonder what it means," Dragon pondered.

"Who knows… Let's go buy some more food so there is enough for all of us tonight," Gojyo said. They both headed down the market and looked at all the stalls. Gojyo kept glancing over at Dragon as she haggled for their dinner. For a honey that is air headed, she sure is smart in some areas, he thought.

"I like it here better than my old world," Dragon said suddenly, "Here I be who I want to be without anyone saying I can't. Michiru been helpful ever since she took me in and technically raised me when she saved my life for the second time."

"How did she save your life?" Gojyo asked. He wondered how a hot-tempered chick like that could raise someone who is a bit like Goku. Cross that, even worst than Goku.

"I was around six years old when she saved my life for the first time. I tried to jump off a cliff so I could fly. Which I do try now and again… The second time was two years ago when my family tried to murder me so that my little brother could take over the family business, which was assassinations. My family was a group of assassins that were well known in the criminal world. My little brother, Nero, was the best assassin there ever was," Dragon started to say.

"Your family as assassins?" Gojyo asked.

"Yep! Now let me finish!" Dragon said, "Well, my parents wanted me to be more like him so they put me though major hard tests, but they always ended up the same. I refused to kill the target each time. So one day I found my father standing over my bed with my brother with a dagger over my heart. Michiru rushed in and kicked my father before he could pierce it, but she was wounded herself by the blade. You can't see the mark, but it's on her chest still to this day. She took me out of there before anyone could react to the attack and took me to her world."

"And how do you guys exactly travel from world to world as you call it?" Gojyo asked. He was thinking that it might be nice to visit other worlds to see what the honeys look like in them.

"Now that is something that I'll never tell," Dragon said playfully.

"Aww… Come on… I won't tell no one," Gojyo whine.

"Nope and that's final," Dragon said, "Let's go back to the inn. We got everything we need right now." As Dragon turned around something flew past her head. She could sense the same something headed for Gojyo and pushed him out of the way onto the ground.

"Hold it Dragon. You're moving to fast for me," Gojyo said.

"Shut up! We got company!" Dragon said getting up. She looked around to see them surround by demons. Gojyo lifted himself off the ground and bushed some of the dust off.

"Now this is what I'm talking about!" Gojyo said as he made his crescent blade appeared in his hand. "Time for some action."

"We want the one called Michiru!" one of the demons yelled at them.

"Well though luck. No one is getting my Onee-san!" Dragon yelled back. The demons came rushing at them with their weapons ready. Dragon jumped over one of them and landed on their head and gave him a good punch. The demon fell down on the ground.

"That honey wouldn't go with you losers anyway. She is too hot tempered to be kidnapped," Gojyo said as his blade extended on its chain and sliced five demons in two. He turned to see Dragon swiftly moving about the newly made battlefield kicking and punching any demon that came close to her. She moved a little to fast to be a normal human, even if she was trained to be an assassin once. Soon the demons were all on the ground and Dragon picked up the bags that lay on the ground.

"I guess we should definitely head back now. I can't wait to eat some of the banana pocky I bought!" Dragon said excitedly like she wasn't just attack by demons.

"You are one big nutcase Dragon," Gojyo sighed as they started walking back to the inn. When they got there they noticed that the area around the inn had demons on the ground as well. "Looks like they came here too…" Gojyo stated. A bullet flew past his head.

"Where were you two? You were supposed to be back two hours ago! While you guys were on a shopping spree the demons came after the scroll again!" Sanzo yelled at them.

"We were attacked by demons ourselves! They said they were after Michiru, but then I went like this… and I went like that… The demons won't be back for more!" Dragon said while she was punching and kicking the air.

"After me? No one but these guys even know I exist is this world at the moment," Michiru said, "And my secret of traveling though worlds are only known by one other person that isn't here."

"Maybe it's someone you know that slaked you or something," Goku suggested.

"Yes that is possible, but unlikely. It could even be someone from another world that I visited," Michiru said.

"Well let's not think on that right now. I'm sure at least two people here that want some dinner," Hakkai stated.

"Yay! Din-din!" Dragon exclaimed jumping into the air.

The whole group walked back inside, but not before Michiru made her death grip onto Sanzo's arm again.

Note: Still in school and all. This might be the only place where I might actually have time to write this story. I wouldn't mind some reviews either. On another note, Dragon was originally a character for a story I was writing that I haven't finished nor do I think that it will be done. As for the secret of traveling between worlds… Well that is my secret! .
