Questions, Questions Yet No Answers

Sanzo's eye twitched as Hakki finished his explanation of Emey's condition. "Whoa, man. You're saying this could just keep happening?" Gojyo asked cigarette half falling out of his mouth. Goku was eating in the background not getting the problem. He had seen her pull through some tough problems, and this wouldn't be much either. Sanzo stood, "She's asleep." Hakki offered. "Che, that ain't where I'm going." it was a lie and a half assed one at that. They all knew it to.

She was curled up again, her normal sleeping habit. He hated it. It reminded him that she wasn't human, and this new form. It was too sudden why now did she choose to do this? He sneezed, shit so she was a cat? Why didn't it bother him more then this? He didn't believe the religion sure, and had been exercising that fact his entire life. She hadn't asked like everyone else though. She looked at him the same but the words never left her mouth. He had mentioned it once; she had just shrugged and shook her head. Now he wasn't sure if it was safe to bring her along. If there was a chance of her going berserk he couldn't. He wanted to, but was it best for her? Wait, why did he care? Did he care or was he just bored enough to think about it? She curled in on herself, nightmares; she'd wake up soon. She always did. She was back in her normal form though. Why did he keep on noticing things? He didn't care. Not consciously anyway. But he persisted to find things about her. Damn it all what was with him? He lit up and she curled up even farther "Put it out. It smells like shit, and you're human it causes cancer." Her hand shot over to the contraption by the pillows. It must have come from that pack they found with her. She clicked a few buttons and then her hand withdrew she unburied herself pushing back on her hair as she sat up "Do you never listen?" she asked glaring at him out of the corner of her eye. "No, should I?" he replied around the cigarette. She shook her head and pulled the black thing closer to her.

His eyes trained on the picture, who was the boy there? She didn't look at him "It's a computer. The 'boy' is my brother Mathew. By the way your mind screams." He frowned slightly confused at her new mindset. "Excuse me?" he asked not sure what she was talking about. "Your mind, its very loud. I'm having a problem tuning it out." She tapped her temple with one finger. She sighed and moved so she was lying on her stomach still clicking away. He sat by her watching the screen. The picture closed out and was replaced with a game of some sorts.

He blew smoke she paused the game, turned, and plucked the cigarette out of his mouth. "I told you to put it out already." She said stubbing it out on her wrist. He winced what the hell was she thinking? She shrugged "I'm not thinking. I rarely ever do." She looked over and flicked the unlit paper and plant into an empty glass. His eye twitched "Don't ever do that again." She smirked "Or what? You'll shoot me?" her tone was smart. He drew the gun pointed it at her and there was a click. She rolled her eyes "I don't fear you or the weapon. A lot worse has been done in the world of me." She turned slightly to look at him. He glared finger twitching on the trigger. She laughed "Go on ahead, you know as well as I do no one would care. And what little people that would wont see me again anyway. I have no intention of going back where I came from ever. Even if it means finding somewhere to stay here and being hated." He put the gun away with another twitch and started to light up again. She snatched the lighter flipping it closed. He growled, or gave off the impression of a growl. He tried reaching for it she held it out away from he body on the opposite side of her. He scowled at her becoming aware she was mocking him. He hit her with the fan. She turned on him "You must be some sort of idiot." She said grabbing his wrist before it was completely out of her reach. She pushed down, easily pinning the arm by his side "Am I right? Are you starting something? You're minds suddenly silent. Possibly you're frightened? There's nothing to fear from me. For what have I done? Been born what I am. That's it isn't it?" She was close to close for what she was speaking of. He hadn't realized she had moved, barely noticed his wrist being brought down. The grip wasn't hard at all, so why couldn't he move it? She smirked again it looked almost feral "You are frightened. Tell me dose Gojyo frighten you this much? Or is it just me? What about the others?" she let go suddenly withdrawing. He blinked, what was she trying to prove. She snickered "Everything and nothing dearest." She replied as she shut the computer and pushed it back into the sling bag. She hauled it over her head to rest on her shoulder, and walked out leaving him alone to think his thoughts.
