Hanami scrubbed her face in the fountain and smiled when she saw her reflection wavering, it was different from the one she had seen three years ago.
She was…plumper now with soft curves, her stomach was flat and her legs lean, a creamy white colour as always setting off her red hair like a fire in the snow, her eyes staring out of black lashes.
She reached in and splashed her face again getting the front part of her hair wet causing her to shake her head and cause small droplets to flick through the air.
She out a long refreshing sigh and wiggled her nose in contempt.
She froze when she heard wolf whistling behind her and turned around delivering a glare.
"Well, if it isn't Red-Chan!" a scrawny teenage monk cooed, he was a few centimetres shorter than her and had features that resembled those of a rat.
"What do you want Doku?" she growled putting her hands on her hips and biting her lip in frustration.
She growled when she saw him gaze at her legs and kicked a stone into his face with brilliant accuracy causing him to stumble back in surprise.
"PISS OFF PERV!" she yelled turning around and coming face to face with a taller version of Doku,
"Ugh, I knew your brother wasn't the only rat around here TORO," growled spitting his name out with disgust, the teen glowered at her and shook his head in a superior matter his small plait at the back of his shaking with him.
"I'd come out with a comeback but why bother?" he sneered.
Hanami felt her short temper snap.
"Yeah, your brain cells have enough to work on, sleep, eat, breath…pee IN the bowl!" she teased pushing him back onto his ass because of his pompous attitude.
"HEY YOU LITTLE…"
"Now Toro you wouldn't swear in front of a lady would you?" A deep voice drawled from behind him.
All three teen's turned their heads toward their voice.
"GONWA!" the two brothers yelled in idol worship causing Hanami to sigh in disgust.
"Oh god not you!" she moaned as she began walking away.
The blonde smirked and pushed the two brothers out of his road as he began to follow the red haired 19 year old.
Hanami sensed him following and growled clenching her fists as she walked.
"Do you know when you clench your fists you cause the muscles in your legs to tighten also giving you…" he smirked grabbing her waist in one hand and lifting her left hand up with the other.
"Slow reflexes?" he purred his dull brown eyes laughing at her.
Hanami stood her ground stomping on his sandaled foot with her own and glaring coldly at him.
"NGH!" he coughed his foot twitching slightly as he let go of her to rub it.
"And do you know no matter how many times you bleach your hair to look like a foreigner your brown roots STILL show and you're only achieving in making yourself look older and BALD!" she hissed.
Gonwa smirked forgetting about the pain in his foot.
"Oh, but isn't that how you like it?" he teased making her stare at him in shock.
"What?"
"You heard me…admit Hanami…you like them old, experienced…" he walked closer to her lifting the now dry red bang out of her eye.
"And four at a time," he whispered causing her to growl. Her eyes widened at what he was implying as images of Sanzo. Goku. Gojyo and Hakkai flashed through her mind.
She clenched her fist and punched him making him fly backwards.
"AH! GONWA!" Doku cried running foreword.
"YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Toro yelled standing in front of his brother who helped up a stunned Gonwa.
"YOU LITTLE BOYS AND YOUR JERK OFF FANTASIES!" she screamed at them tears of humiliation and anger at what Gonwa implied threatening to drop from her eyes.
"DON'T YOU EVER IMPLY SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN OR I'LL GIVE YOU A REASON TO BE MAD!" she continued her eyes burning in hate.
Toro stepped back a bit as Doku reached behind him and picked up a large stick.
"I'LL TEACH YOU HALF BREED!" he yelled jumping up into the air as he lowered the stick to connect with Hanami's head.
CRACK
Hanami opened her eyes and lowered her braced arms as she looked up a vision of gold greeting her; she smiled and let out a sigh of relief at the sight.
"GOKU!" she smiled up at him causing him to give her a wink.
"You okay?" he smiled placing a hand on her shoulder and glaring at the three retreating forms.
"Stupid assholes…did they hurt you?" he asked calmly looking at her arms.
Hanami smiled and hugged him burying her face in his chest to be surrounded by his presence.
"Stupid…do you think I'd let them?" she laughed sighing when she felt him hug her back.
"Hmm, Lirin says Hi by the way, she's…gotten bigger!" he smiled looking down at Hanami and brushing away a stray lock of hair.
"Oh…that's…great?" she asked questioningly causing Goku to nod,
"Yeah it means the baby's growing healthily!" he grinned gaining a shove from Hanami.
"What do you expect it is YOUR baby!" she teased emphasising the word your.
Goku blushed and caught her hands looking her dead in the eye.
"H-How do you feel about this whole baby thing Hanami?" Goku asked serious now blushing slightly.
Hanami smiled and stuck her tongue out,
"Since when did you care what I think?" she teased hugging her father figure.
"I think it's great! But only if you promise I get to hold her when she's born!" she smiled though there was a bit of venom in her words.
Goku sighed and patted her head.
"I know you wanted to be the baby's godmother Hanami, but well…Lirin did make a point when she chose Yaone!" he sighed.
Hanami raised an eyebrow.
"You mean the whole 'I'm gonna be popping this thing outta me it's only fair I get to choose the godparents' speech?" she asked sceptically causing Goku to laugh as she mimicked Lirin's voice.
"Well…yes," he laughed.
"But, Goku weren't you the one who PUT the baby in there?" Hanami asked with fake innocence causing the monkey to blush.
"WAH! WHY YOU!" he yelled pulling her into a headlock and giving her a noogie.
"KYA! No Goku I just did my hair!" she screamed patting it and glaring at him though a smile was on her face.
Goku spotted the red hair clasp and raised an eyebrow.
"Gojyo won you that huh?" he said.
"Yeah, she said fingering it fondly, "And Hakkai-sama gave me the pretty green brush!" she smiled patting her hair down.
"Uh-huh…" Goku smiled walking beside her as she tied her hair up in a purple silk scarf.
"And that I believe was from…"
"Sanzo! Yeah he said it was old and was going to throw it out anyway but I thought it smelt pretty and when I told him he…"
"Let you have it?" Goku guessed gaining a smile from Hanami.
"YEP!" she grinned as she fastened the red hair clasp over her ponytail.
"I don't suppose you wear anything I gave you do you?" he asked.
Hanami smiled and looked down at the amber ankle bracelet and winked at him.
"What do you think?" she joked twirling on one foot.
Goku laughed and twirled her around by grabbing her hand in mock ballerina fashion before they sat down on a bench.
"Are you excited about the Sakura festival?" Goku asked laughing when he saw the expression on her face.
"Stupid question, just remember steer clear of…"
"Strangers, alleyways and strange glowing boxes I know I know!" she sighed waving him off with her hand.
"Oh you DO huh? Well then pray tell last time how you ended up purchasing a firework grenade in Bogotá alley by a man you simply could identify as Ralph?"
"That's not true! It was a firework CHEST it was in Hiroshima alley and the man was a SAILOR called Ralph so there!" she retaliated.
Goku sighed and patted her head.
"You know what I mean." he smiled.
Hanami smiled and shook her head.
"Hey don't worry about it besides I plan on having an escort this time!" she smiled fingering her bracelet which was on her arm behind her back.
"Hmm the escort wouldn't happen to be someone who gave you something on your persona would it?" he asked.
Hanami blushed.
"Maybe…"
"Gojyo Hakkai and Sanzo…" he muttered.
"Hmm?" she asked puzzled.
"So…which one is it then," Goku said picking a flower out of a bush and flicking it away.
Hanami quirked an eyebrow upwards.
"Huh?"
"The one that you're in love with," Goku said plainly.
"……….."
