Ash:Finally here it comes you've all been waiting for it!! The newest member of the Female Sanzo group! Enjoy!


I couldn't help but snicker at seeing the guys faces as they stood in their... well should I say our rooms. Well I'll just go right to the point... Hazel's group needed a place to stay and scince Hazel told the villagers that the yokai was gone, some people needing a place to stay came to the inn. Meaning that Kimiko, Lynto, and I had to share a room with the guys... Oh its fine with us but it was still raining and Sanzo wasn't too happy... I was sitting on the bed looking at my locket while Gojyo and Goku decided to have a staring contest to see who would win... Lynto, Kimiko, and Hakkai were watching... and Sanzo was sleeping so we thought it would be best to leave him alone or get our brains blown out of our skulls by some bullets... I was glad the inn wasn't too creepy anymore, I knew Lyn was happy about it as well... she did a little dance coming up the stairs.. I smiled at the small pictures in my locket and then I turned my attention away from it to look at the cold rain as it hit the window outside... Kanzeon Bosastu, she said that someone would come soon... someone like me? What does that mean, she could have given me a hint or a clue to show me what she meant... 'Dang it... will you just tell me the person's name or something'?! I screamed in my head, I didn't like to wait for something that I didn't know what it was or who it was... I waited a few good decent seconds and no creepy calm voice in my head, nope she was going to keep her mouth shut... Great this is perfect. I averted my eyes from the rain and looked at Goku and Gojyo, their eyes transfixed on each other's faces not blinking or moving a inch.. I sighed and stood up, muttering I would be outside for a bit and walked out the door. I could hear people staying at the inn inside their rooms, having coversations or just sleeping and the sound of their snoring... 'Washed away like the rain, huh'? I would try and put it all together, it was raining right now... maybe she had hints in her words but I just didn't see them then... I made my way downstairs and then out of the inn, I stopped in my tracks and stood under the roof so I wouldn't get drenched by the rain. With dismay I stared out into the night, the dark and rain blended together making it hard to see. You could see faint glows from lights in houses but that was about it... When will this person come, its not like she gave me exact date... I jumped back a bit and fell on my butt when a flash of lightning shot out from the clouds and struck the ground a few feet away... I stood back up and went to turn back to the inn but something in the rain and on the ground caught my eye, it was a shadowy figure laying on the ground where the lightning hit. 'Oh crap! Don't tell me someone got hit by it'! I dashed out from under the roof and into the storm, slipping a bit as I made my way toward the motionless figure. The wind howled without remorse and the rain kept falling to the ground, almost like a monsoon it was out here... I was almost to the figure when a image flashed in my mind, a girl she looked my age... she had bright blue eyes, and choppy medium length red hair... 'Amber Shigeko' that name, it quickly came into my mind... was this.. no.. it couldn't be... I dropped to my knee's and looked at the person, it was a girl.. I couldn't see her face. She was lying on her side, her back facing me. She wore a outfit... the top brown and white with a small brown cape like jacket that covered her shoulders, a red flowing skirt and some brown boots with white fur at the top... she was unconscious... I grabbed her wrist and felt for a pulse, she was freezing cold from the rain... her pulse was steady and normal, to be hit by lightning wouldn't that stop your pulse? I reached out and grabed her shoulder then gently rolled her onto her back, my eyes grew wide... her eyes were closed and it appeared that she was sleeping, her choppy medium length red hair clung to her face from the rain... she had a backpack and katana tightly clutched in her hand.. 'This is... Amber... I know her! I remember now, we met one day at the park... and before I was tooken.. tooken where... my grandmother... I remember now... I remember... my mother I was tooken away from my mother and I didn't get to say goodbye... to her or Amber... but... she's here...' I quickly pulled her to her feet and wrapped her arm around my neck, gazing through the darkness and rain I started to walk back to the inn... 'Is this.. what Kanzeon Bosastu means... is Amber, the person who was coming'? Well.. she could have also sent someone to help me get Amber up the dang stairs! I looked at the door and reached out my free arm trying not to drop Amber, I turned the knob and walked inside. The others turned their heads to look at me, yeah it was a pretty strange sight to see huh? Me covered in mud and rain, carrying a unknown person also muddy and wet from the rain.

"Ash, what happend"? asked Kimiko as she stood up and walked over, she tilted her head and then looked at Amber. Kimiko went and waved Lynto over and they both helped Amber into a bed. Hakkai quickly stood up and walked out of the room, probably to ask for some towels and extra blankets..

"Who is this"? asked Goku hopping up from his seat and looking at Amber and then me, well looks like Gojyo won the staring contest but... that doesn't matter right now..

"I found her outside in the rain, I know her... her name is Amber Shigeko". Amber was different now, wasn't eighteen anymore she now was the age of twenty two.. she would have a cold when she woke up because of the rain, but that was just a maybe.. Sanzo looked up from his paper and then stared at Amber silently.

He was silent for a minute...why was he silent by now he would have sai-... "Why is she here"? he asked... a bit of coldness in his voice, well never mind...

I blew a bit of hair out of my face and then took a towel from Hakkai as he came back into the room with a few towels and blankets, I started to dry Amber's hair silently... "Someone answer me dammit"! said Sanzo, greatly annoyed...

"I couldn't leave her out in the rain... think a bit Sanzo your not that cold and aloof to just leave someone out in the freezing rain, just because your a grumpy old bald monk doesn't mean you have to be that heartless" I stated while closing my eyes. He apparently didn't like that 'Grumpy old bald monk' statement, scince I felt his paper fan go crashing down onto my head. I opened my eyes and rubbed my head a bit mumbling a 'ow'...

"Now now Sanzo, Ashurri is right for the most of it... she couldn't exactly leave her in the rain" said Kimiko while placing a blanket on Amber, trying to ease her shaking.

"That's right, this Amber is Ashurri's friend apparently" Hakkai nodded in agreement.. "Gojyo go tell the inkeeper that we need a extra bed.."

Gojyo nodded and quickly walked out the door, "I'm on it"...

After I dried Amber's hair I took a towel and started to get the mud off her arms and legs, Kimiko sighed and took another towel then started to dry my hair. "You both will probably get colds, you know... and we may have to stay another day" she stated. Sanzo just stood silently near the window, fan still in hand and watching Amber silently... 'Maybe... Sanzo would probably say no bu-' I looked over at Sanzo and his gaze went away from Amber and I gave him a sad pouting look.. His eyebrow twitched a bit, and my sad look increased more each minute.

He sighed deep, and closed his eyes before lighting a cigarette. "Fine fine... but this is the last person"! he said. I smiled brightly at him and then looked at Amber, now I am truly glad that Kanzeon Bosastu sent Amber here... I regained the memories I had lost and also my friend, I was a bit sad.. I would never see my granmother or my mother ever again... but it felt like I was more happier here, and mother would do good without me... I would stay with my new friends...

"Thank you Sanzo"! I said with another smile...

"Tch.. whatever" Another drag of his cigarette and the sound of a exhale filled the room...
