Otose: Whoot chapter 8! Sorry about the wait.
Roger: Here's the story enjoy!
!
The gang was on the road. They left after eating breakfast and Goku getting Luna's address, promising to write to her every time he got the chance. Things were quite, Goku was playing his game boy, and Kagome was looking up at the sky, Hakkai was driving and had a small smile, Sanzo was staring ahead and Gojyo was watching the scenery go by.
'I wonder how everyone is doing.' Kagome thought, thinking of her old friends, wondering if they were alright or if they missed her, 'I doubt Inuyasha misses me, he's probably with Kiyko, by now' she thought sighing.
"Kagome? What's wrong?" Goku asked setting his game down and looking at her.
"Hmm? Oh, I'm fine Goku, don't worry." Kagome said smoothing down his hair.
"Why don't we stop for lunch?" Hakkai said stopping the car in front of a crystal clear lake.
"Ya!" Goku said pumping his fist in the air. He jumped out of the van. Everyone else got out and the jeep transformed into Hakuryu the dragon. Hakkai and Kagome set the blanket and chairs under a shady tree and started to make lunch.
"Where's Goku?" Kagome asked looking around.
"Yaaaaaaa!"
They turned around to see Goku running in his boxer's and jumping into the lake. Kagome, Hakkai and Gojyo laughed while Sanzo just stared.
Goku swam about for 20 minutes before he was called for lunch.
"Here Goku." Kagome said handing him a towel then his lunch.
"Thanks Kagome!" Goku said, sitting down on the blanket. Everyone ate, and talked. After they were done, Goku was fully dry and changed back into his clothes, and took off again.
"I'm boreeeedd" Goku whined.
"Play your game." Gojyo said, hoping he would shut up.
"But I'm bored of playing that game, I already beat it!"
Kagome sighed and looked at Sanzo; she could see that he was getting annoyed.
"Goku, why don't you start the game over? Try playing it differently?" Kagome suggested.
Goku thought about it for a minute, then agreed and started to play again.
"Great idea Kagome." Hakkai said.
"Thanks."
Things were fine for a while but things don't always last. Kagome sighed, she really missed her friends right now.
*With the Inuyasha group*
"Waaaaah! Where's Kagome!" Shippo cried, he was sick and tired of Inuyasha! He kept on hitting him and making fun of him.
"I said I don't know you runt!" Inuyasha shouted. He went to go get Kagome back a few days ago but her mother said she wasn't their, that she already left.
"I hope Kagome alright." Sango said, worried about Kagome.
"I'm sure, Kagome is fine." Miroku said trying to comfort Sango.
"Grrr" Inuyasha growled, without Kagome what where they supposed to do? They couldn't find the jewels this way! What if she was kidnapped? No he would have heard or sensed if Kagome was in trouble. Where the hell was she? Then they heard a rumor about a witch, maybe this witch could find Kagome?
*With the Saiyuki group*
Kagome sighed once again, why was she so sad all of a sudden? Ya she missed home but she shouldn't be sighing this much. Soon they found a town, where they got an inn and walked around the town. Kagome decided to take a walk, Goku joined her.
"Kagome is something bothering you? You've been sighing all day." Goku asked.
"I'm sorry Goku; I guess I just miss my friends." Kagome answered giving him a smile.
"It's alright, I'm sure you'll see them again."
Kagome smiled, 'I hope so,'
"Let's buy some meat buns!" Kagome said walking toward the vendor.
"Ya!" Goku shouted running after her. They bought a bag full of meat buns and found a bench to sit on. Both ate and watched people go buy, commenting on what they might be like, for example, Kagome saw a Lady with her child, she said that she was a mother and a hard worker, Goku saw a boy and girl walking, he said that they might be together. The scene did remind him of Luna, and remembered that since they were in town he should write to her.
"Hey Kagome? Can we go back? I need to write Luna a letter." Goku asked.
"Sure, Goku." Kagome said smiling, getting up from the bench. Both walked backed to the inn.
"How was you stroll?" Hakkai asked.
"It was fine, we bought some meat buns." Kagome said.
"You dumb monkey, you shouldn't be asking for things from Kagome." Gojyo said.
"It's alright Gojyo I don't mind." Kagome said, trying to stop a fight that was going to happen.
"See! She doesn't mind." Goku said glaring at the kappa, "Now if you excuse me I gotta write Luna a letter!" and with that he walked to his room.
Hakkai smiled and went back to reading his book. Sanzo was reading his paper and glanced at Kagome. He should do it now.
"Kagome?" He asked.
"Yes Sanzo?"
"Come with me for a moment." He said getting up and walking out the door.
Kagome looked at Hakkai and Gojyo, Hakkai gave her a reassuring glance and Gojyo shrugged his shoulders. She walked after him. Sanzo led her to the outskirts of the town,
"Sanzo? What's going on?" Kagome asked.
He stopped and faced her; they were under a big tree. Kagome was nervous, what was going on?
"That night," He started, "That night we spent at the village, were they held the dance, were we danced," he stopped and took a breath, "That dance, were, were we kissed,"
He stopped and looked at Kagome and saw her blush at the mention of the kiss.
"I, I wasn't sure what to think of it, but I took sometime, and I decided, that..." He trailed off looking away. Kagome gave a small smile, she knew what he was trying to say, but she wanted to hear him say it.
"Yes?" She encouraged.
"I decided that I want that type of relationship with you." He said facing her. Kagome gave a small smiled and hugged him. Sanzo was a bit loss for a second but put his arms around her. He never felt anything like this before, yes he knew what the feeling was called, but it was different, different that the type of love he had for his former master, than for his old friend, for Goku, that was all different for the feeling he had for Kagome, his Kagome.
"We should head back." He said looking down at the girl in his arms. Kagome looked up and smiled and both walked back, holding hands. They reached the inn and let go of each others hands and went in. Hakkai and Gojyo had left.
"So, um I'll so you tomorrow morning then." Kagome said looking at Sanzo hands behind her back.
"Yes, I'll see you tomorrow." Sanzo said looking at her. Before he could turn, Kagome pecked him on the check and went to her room. Sanzo stood their in surprise before he snapped out of it and went to bed.
