Ash:Okay! Chapter 15! At first it is Hakkai's P.O.V and then its Gojyo's P.O.V! So CHA!! Hope ya like it!

I smiled softly and watched as the two new bestfriends got along well and flew around the room with a ease. Goku and Ashurri sat on the floor near Sanzo who was still reading the paper. We had gotten Kenryuu to change back and everyone was pretty happy that he could transform into a jeep, Ashurri commented on how cute it was for Kenryuu in pen form. Goku failed to see how cute a pen was but he didn't go on about it. So now we sloved the problem of having too many people in Hakuryuu. This was all so.. confusing but I didn't mind seeing that we got some new friends and a better chance of defeating Gyumaoh. My head lifted up a bit and I watched Goku and Ashurri laugh as Hakuryuu and Kenryuu sat on Sanzo's head. I rose a eyebrow at Sanzo who simply shooed them away with his paper, I laughed a bit but it wasn't heard over the loud boom of thunder coming from outside. My eyes wandered from Hakuryuu and Kenryuu's room to Gojyo's door I wonder what was wrong with him? It was very... unlike Gojyo to be moody like that... Another flash of lighting came from outside followed by another boom of lightning, Goku and Ashurri ran to the window to watch the storm. I looked around the room and then saw that Kimiko was no where to be found. I stood up and crossed the room and out the door, I peeked my head into Ashurri and Kimiko's room... it was empty... 'She could be outside... but its raining' I headed down the stairs and then looked at the front desk where a clerk was reading the book with names of who checked in and who checked out. I looked silently outside and saw a silhouette of a person standing underneath the roof of the inn and near the window. The clerk looked up at me for a second before looking back down at the book again. I walked out of the warm inn and out into the cold rough storm, looking to my left I saw Kimiko standing under the roof. Her face was looking straight ahead, her blue eyes staring out into the distance and watching the cold rain as it continued to fall. She didn't notice as I walked to her and then stood next to her, I leaned against the wall and watched the rain fell. I heard her laugh lightly and then I turned my head to look at her. A smile was on her face, small but.. something about that smile made me happy... her smiles could make anyone feel happy.. She turned on her heel silently and walked to a wooden bench that was under the roof and sat down, she then looked at me and then patted the seat next to her and gave a genuine smile to me. I walked over to her and then sat down silently before smiling a bit and watching the rain... the rain... it had made every inch of the ground muddy and soaking wet. Hardly any villagers were out and the clouds were a dark grey... the wind howled making it all a cold scene but other than that it was beautiful when the rain fell...crystal rain drops falling from the sky... 'I wonder why she's out here... all alone...'...

"Hakkai-kun... may I ask a question" she asked softly, looking at her hands and fidgeting with her fingers a bit.

I looked at her, "Yes, what is it Kimiko-chan"?

"The trip you guys are on... do you ever get afraid of yokai... I mean, I don't exactly understand the reason why your going... Ashurri sorta told me about it but I didn't exactly get what she said" she looked up and at me, her eyes staring into mine... eyes like bright stars..

I sat silent for a minute, "Yes... sometimes yokai can be scary... but the others and I are always there to make sure nothing happens... the reason we are going on this trip is to stop the minus wave" I said.

"Minus wave... what's that"?

"Its the reason why the yokai are going berserk... the cause of it is a yokai named Gyumaoh" I stated while looking out in the rain again.

She nodded, "Kimiko-chan... may I ask... are you afraid of yokai"? I asked her.

She looked at me and I watched as she nodded slightly, "A bit yes... just a little though"... She laughed lightly, "Everyone is afraid of them". I sat silently and closed my eyes slightly, listening to the rain as it hit the floor with a soft thump. 'Everyone, huh'?

"Not all yokai are bad though... most are just berserk because of the minus wave" I looked at her, "Kimiko-chan may I ask you something else"?

She blinked a bit and nodded a silent weary yes, "Yes" she said. I stared at her then then turned my head to face the ground. 'Hmm... she must be tired'..

I hunched over a bit and looked at the ground silently with my hands folded in my lap... "If I were to be a demon..." I slowly looked up from the ground and stared at the rain. "Would you be afraid o-" I felt something lean against my arm and then something softly hit my shoulder and laid on it. I blinked for a bit and looked over to my left. Kimiko was silently sleeping, her face peaceful and as always beautiful. She was leaning against me and her head was resting on my shoulder, softly snoring. I smiled softly at her and closed my eyes... 'If I were to be a demon... would you be afraid of me?' I finished the sentence in my mind. Would she be afraid of me? I mean... I am a demon... and she's a tiny bit afraid of them... maybe it would be best if I waited to tell her... 'Something must have happend... she's afraid of yokai... that I understand... her mother seemed very frightened by them as well... would she be afraid of me?...'. My head lifted up a bit and I stared at a couple walking in the rain, holding hands and laughing while under the safety of a umbrella... could that ever be me? Happy and laughing with someone I loved?... I then felt something slip off my shoulder and then I looked down, Kimiko's head had falling off my shoulder and was now laying in my lap.

She smiled a bit and sighed in her sleep, "Comfy..." she mumbled softly in her sleep. I smiled a bit... maybe one day... I wil be happy with someone that I love...

I waited silently and leaned the wall, waiting for us to leave... I hadn't told her what time we were leaving... I didn't want to leave and if I saw her I knew I wouldn't leave... Kimiko and Ashurri had just set the last of their luggage in the back of Kenryuu, we had gotten our things all put away a few minutes. The sky was still grey and the chances of raining again was very high, so that's why we were leaving early. Hardly anyone was outside and it was freezing out. I sighed and folded my arms across my chest and stared at the bar silently. I closed my eyes and then listened... nothing but dead quiet... I opened my eyes slightly... that's strange the quiet... it was hardly ever quiet when we were in a town. Something wasn't right... I looked at the others... how come they didn't notice it.. My feelers twitched a bit and I narrowed my eyes a bit... 'Someone's here... fuck can't we have a break once and a while... I'm sick of dickwads showing up and attacking us' I looked around the village... nothing, no one was around. Aww fuck some shit is going to go down today... why does th- I quickly jumped back out of the way before a katana hit the wall where I just was. I was knelt down with my shakujou tightly held in my hand, the others silently looked up from what they were doing and toward a building in front of the inn.. Thirty yokai stood ontop of the roof with weapons in hand and smug smirks on their faces... 'Heh I was just in a bad mood a few seconds ago... now I'm pissed' I glanced at the others, they all now had their weapons drawn... ha I had sensed them first but yeah I'm not happy. This is a bad day for a scorpio isn't it? Yokai show up and I have to leave a girl that I just met and already like...

"Sanzo party hand over the scripture and you w-" the cresent blade on my shakujou shot out from the staff and slashed the yokai in half. The other yokai watched in shock along with my friends. Heh I wasn't in the mood didn't want to hear some prick shoot off his mouth and say some things that wasn't needed. The blade shot back quickly and then the chain went back into the staff. I glared at the yokai while holding shakujou in my hand.

I laughed a bit, "Yeah yeah we've heard it before... listen I don't give a ratsass on who you are and what ya want but you guys pissed me off already".

"Why you little punk"! Yelled another yokai as he leaped off the building and at me, I scoffed and then sidestepped while cutting off his legs with shakujou. No one to mess with today. The other yokai left into action and we started to fight... I wish they would take a holiday or somethin' once in a while.. I ducked a swipe from a katana and then swiftly swiped my foot under the yokai before stabbing his neck and killing him I ran my fingers through my hair and then turned around and kicked another yokai who charged at me in the stomach. I saw a small ball hit the ground right in front of me and then a purple smoke broke from it and flooded out of it and into my face. I coughed violent and took a step back while rubbing my eyes with my arm. 'Shit I can't see'.. Something hard collided with my cheek and I flew back and landed on the ground. Slowly I sat up with the help of shakujou and opened my still burning eyes to see a yokai hovering over me with a long sleek iron pole raised over his head. 'Tch.. great'. I then heard something quickly running toward me and the yokai I didn't take my eyes off the weapon because the enemy was right in front of me... suddenly-

"WANT SOME EGGS BITCH"?! yelled a voice.. What the fuck... oh geez that was funny as h-

Something large and black slammed ontop of the yokai's head and he stumbled before falling to the ground and laying on his back. My eyes widend a bit... what the hell just happend? Lynto was standing over the demon and bashing him on the head over and over with what looked like... hey its a frying pan... 'Aww fuck yeah! I found a girl who can whoop ass with a frying pan and can say something funny while doing it'! The others stopped fighting and looked over to the little scene going on with Lynto and the demon. After a bunch of hits to the head the yokai was knocked out and motionless on the ground. She panted and then stood up straight while tucking a lock of her brown hair behind her ear. She looked at me and gave a smile, which I returned. My feelers twitched and I quickly cut down a yokai who was sneaking up on her. Another yokai charged at her with a mallet... wait where the fuck do you get a mallet? She spun on her heel and then side kicked the yokai in the jaw making him fly through the air and then land on the ground a few feet away. 'Damn...'.

She panted and placed her hands on her knees while hunching over a bit, I stood up and looked at her. "I heard everything from my apartment so I dashed out the door... I needed to see you before you left" she said.

I smiled, "I'm glad ya did if ya didn't I would probably be dead".

She lightly tapped the bottom of the frying pan on the palm of her head, hmm I saw three dents in the pan she must have hit that yokai hard. "So... lets go and whoop some ass"! she said with a excited tone. I smiled, yes I love this chick! She's pretty, can whoop yokai ass, and is funny. My type of girl.

"Alright then... oh and Lynto"? I said.

She looked at me, "Yes"?

I laughed a bit and smiled, "Nice frying pan"...

Lyn:CHA I WHOOPED SOME ASS WITH A FRYING PAN LIKE OFF THE BOONDOCKS!!

Kim:I SPENT TIME WITH HAKKAI!! WOOT!!

Ash:They are crazy... but ya gotta love em'!

Lyn and Kim:TAKE THAT FANGIRLS!!
