Heart
~ Chapter Two ~
An abrupt scream with the sound of bloody-murder pierced the hot, midday skies. A young woman ran towards them, a strange creature close behind her. She screamed blood-murder a second time and tears hung in her eyes. Her entire body shook uncontrollably as she ran.
Hakkai stopped the jeep and hopped out. He glared down the monster before him. "Sanzo. I bet where there's trouble, there's answers."
Sanzo, Gojyo and Goku hopped out of the jeep and the jeep transformed into the pet dragon that belonged to Hakkai.
The young woman accidentally stepped into a hole with her right foot. It startled her because she hadn't expected a hole and she felt her heart jump as she gasped and her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. What followed happened so fast. Her right foot jerked to the right, all the way onto its side, and her right knee jerked out from under her. Her body came into harsh contact with the ground and she laid on her right side, legs crossed, butt over feet, and she moaned in pain, "Ow." Curse my clumsiness.
She untangled herself and sat up, then, stood. She instantly felt pain in her right ankle. She tried to ignore the pain, but it got worse and worse. Tears filled her eyes as she mumbled, "Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow." Tears fell from her eyes and rolled down her cheeks, the pain in her right ankle so bad. She dropped to her knees, then, laid on her stomach. "Ow. Hurts."
Sanzo pulled the young woman from the ground and glared at her. "Idiot! What are you doing?" Reckless woman!
The young woman gave the monk a startled and confused look. "EH?" What?
"Don't give me that! You're in the way!"
"Oh! Sorry, sir! Forgive me, sir!"
He sighed. "Just go with Hakkai!"
"Oh! Okay!"
"Jeez!"
