=-Chill that fucking bitch out-=

 

They drove for several hours, the sun bearing down upon them brightly with the rain clouds long forgotten. Goku stared straight up into the clear blue sky of early May. She had been with the three men for several weeks and had learned a lot about them. She learned that Hakkai and Gojyo actually were gay (Gojyo was “bisexual”) and Sanzo had made her swear not to make fun of Hakkai for it. Truthfully she had never considered it because she was slightly frightened of the brown haired man.

 

He may have had a kind smile and a mellow nature but Goku could tell behind that mask was the face of a man shrouded with anger and sadness. Nevertheless she promised Sanzo. There were still a lot of things she was ignorant of when it came to her companions but she knew that as time went by everything would be revealed.

 

At the moment, however, there was only one thing on her mind “Sanzo, I'm hungry.” She whined for what was probably the hundredth time that hour.

 

“I know, Goku.” Sanzo replied irately from the front passenger seat “I heard you the first time…and the second time and every other fucking time after. So I don't think telling me anymore is necessary.”

 

“I don't understand how you can be so hungry all the time and be so fucking skinny when you do absolutely nothing.” Gojyo put in.

 

“Well I just am.” Goku snapped back while rubbing her stomach.

 

“You just ate two boxes of Cheezits, too. So how can you be hungry again?”

 

“I don't know, Gojyo!”

 

“Wait, you just ate two boxes?” Sanzo said suddenly, twisting around to face her “When did you eat two boxes?”

 

“An hour ago.” Gojyo informed glancing at Goku who was leaning over in the seat clutching her stomach.

 

“Why did you eat two boxes of Cheezits, Goku?” Sanzo demanded and with his temper rising high, Goku not answering him or looking at him made him even angrier “Goku, I'm talking to you.” She still didn't answer instead she remained doubled over clutching her abdomen, Sanzo felt a slight twinge of pain in the back of his mind “What's wrong with you?”

 

Hakkai stopped the jeep and pulled to the side of the long and empty road “Goku?” he stepped out and walked around to her side of the vehicle “What's wrong, dear?”

 

“My stomach hurts.” She replied feebly.

 

“Oh man the monkey's got to take a shit.” Gojyo teased “OW, Sanzo, don't fucking hit me with your gun! You could kill someone that way, dumbass!” Sanzo glared and gripped one of Goku's arms.

 

“That's what I was going for moron. Goku do you have to use the bathroom?” Goku shook her head at Sanzo's concern but then nodded. “Well which is it?” she shrugged and straightened up again when the pain passed “Just keep driving to the next town Hakkai. We'll stop at a hotel or something.”

 

It took another twenty minutes before they reached a small city somewhere in New Mexico. The only place with room was a small motel in the center of town with two rooms available. Both with one Queen sized beds in each. “Well, Gojyo and I don't mind sharing a bed, Sanzo…” Hakkai said quietly so the girl behind the counter couldn't hear “But what about you and Goku?” Sanzo glanced at the girl who was merrily talking to a handsome teenage boy with grey eyes and short auburn hair.

 

“Goku, come here.” Sanzo snapped noticing the boy's stares wandering south of her face “Now.” Hakkai raised his eyebrows and hid a chuckle behind his hand.

 

“Sanzo, that guy said there's a famous person in town!” Goku said bubbly “He said they're gunna do some public speech thing tonight and he said I can go! Can I, Sanzo? Huh, can I?”

 

Sanzo glared at the boy before fixing his gaze back on to Goku's excited smile “No.” Her face dropped “And don't talk to that little fucker over there, either.”

 

“Oh why not? He's nice…”

 

“We'll talk about it later.” Sanzo dismissed the conversation before turning back to Hakkai “I don't care about that bull shit. I'll figure something out later tonight, just give her the card and we can head out again tomorrow. Goku, go with Hakkai to get our room keys.” Goku pouted up at the blonde but he remained passive “Go.”

 

Her pout morphed into a defiant stare and then Hakkai pulled her along with him, gold credit card in hand. Sanzo remained in the lobby glaring at the boy who smiled at Goku as she passed. When she and Hakkai were out of ear shot Sanzo approached the teenager. “You've got yourself a good lookin' girl there, sir.” The boy grinned crookedly.

 

Sanzo pursed his lips and then beckoned him closer; he threw an arm around the boy's neck and squeezed him into a choke-hold, planting the barrel of his Smith and Wesson gun into his side. “You're right, I do.” Sanzo growled “I do, not you, you little fucking dillweed. Stay the fuck away from her or I will be glad to put a bullet through your skull. Do I make myself clear?” the boy nodded his purple face and then Sanzo released him, letting him skitter away to who-knows-where. Goku and Hakkai came back into the lobby, Goku handed the gold card back with the frown still firmly placed on her face.

 

“Don't pout or you'll get wrinkles.” Gojyo scoffed as he walked in with the rest of the baggage “Hey did you guys know that politician guy is here? What's his name…uh...Ni Jian Yi or something…?”

 

“I told you, Sanzo!” Goku hissed “Let's go see him tonight!”

 

“And I already told you no, Goku.” Sanzo replied “Now go up to the room and stay there.” Goku growled angrily and began to stomp her way up the stairs. Sanzo called out to her when she was halfway up making her turn towards him with a hopeful expression “Do not leave that room. If I find out you did-“

 

“I. GET. IT.” She snapped before continuing up the stairs with the hopeful smile long gone.

 

“Oh how cute,” Gojyo snickered “Monkey is angry at Daddy.”

 

“Gojyo, you have a death wish don't you?” Sanzo growled as they followed her. After much arguing with the young girl about why she was to stay in the room all night, Sanzo joined Hakkai and Gojyo in their room.

 

“With only one bed in here you're going to have to start knocking, Sanzo.” Gojyo decreed “Unless you want to see us doing the nasty?”

 

“You have to be the biggest fucking prick I have ever met in the entire world.” Sanzo snarled before lowering his voice “Have either of you checked with what's going on back east?”

 

“They've definitely got the fuzz out for me and Hakkai.” Gojyo informed quietly.

 

“There's a catholic church in town, Sanzo.” Hakkai added “I'm sure you can find more information out there. But I seriously doubt we should stay in this town very long.”

 

“I know that.” Sanzo replied “I'll have go to the church and get what we need.”

 

“Will you go tonight?”

 

“I don't have much of a choice. I need one of you to stay here with Goku, though.” Sanzo informed “That fucker she was talking to was definitely looking for some ass and I may not have scared him off for long.”

 

“Who's staying?” Gojyo asked.

 

“Well I have grocery shopping to do and I'm the only one with a driver's license.” Hakkai replied “And Sanzo has to go to the church…so I guess you're the default choice?

 

“Fuck that, I wanted to go into town and score myself some ass.”

 

“Don't you have enough of it?” Sanzo retorted only to regret it, feeling the glare hidden behind the smile Hakkai wore.

 

“Sanzo, walking does well for one's body.” Sanzo cursed vehemently under his breath.

 

Goku listened intently from the room next door; she had been in the middle of unpacking her clothes when she realized she could hear the men's conversation. She gulped audibly. She'd had her suspicions as to the real reason of their travels. Bank robbery, kidnapping, murder…the usual crimes that popped into a teenager's active imagination.

 

But now she was sure there was something fowl afoot. A moment of fear ran through her as she realized how probable her imaginary crimes actually were. She could be running around the country with three men who could certainly kill her with no qualms.

 

But the moment of fear passed, she had been with them for this long and if they had any ill will towards her they would have already done it. Besides, even if they were criminals what did she care? Every instinct she had told her they were all meant to be together. There was no reason to worry.

 

The sound of the door opening snapped her from her roaming thoughts, making her jump and look up. Sanzo frowned at her “What's wrong with you this time?”

 

“You scared me, Sanzo!” she gasped with a nervous laugh “Are you going somewhere?” Sanzo nodded and checked his gun for bullets. Goku was used to seeing the silver Smith and Wesson by now, having asked him about it during their first week together. “Where are you going? Can I come?”

 

“None of your business and no.” he replied flatly “I don't know how long I'll be gone anyway, so there's no point dragging you.” He snapped his gun back into place, switched the safety on and tucked it back into his pants hiding it safely under his long black shirt. He caught Goku's gaze “What?”

 

“How come you don't know when you'll get back?” she asked quietly, suddenly very still.

 

“Because I just don't.” Sanzo answered simply “Gojyo is going to be here so you'll be fine.”

 

“But I don't want to stay here with Gojyo. I want to go with you.”

 

“Look, I know Gojyo is a pervert but you'll be fine. He won't do anything to you-what?” He cut himself short when Goku began to shake her head.

 

“I'm not worried about him.” She whined “I just want to stay with you! I don't like it when you leave. Please let me come I promise I won't get in the way.”

 

“I already gave you my answer. And why are you being so clingy?”

 

“Because I…I just don't like to be alone.” Silence passed after her reply.

 

“You're not telling me something.” Sanzo broke in, staring over the girl with disquieted eyes “What are you hiding?” Goku shook her head again “Stop lying to me, Goku. Tell me what's going on.”

 

“Nothing.”

 

“Goku.”

 

“Nothing, Sanzo.”

 

“Goku.”

 

“Sanzo…”

 

“Goku.” The girl whimpered softly and bit her bottom lip, Sanzo's lavender eyes pierced her like a knife over and over. She felt her knees weakening as a wave of nausea swept over her, she swallowed the bile and whimpered again. She didn't want him to know she was concerned because then he would find out she was eavesdropping. “What is going on?”

 

She shook her head and bit her lip harder, drawing blood. He continued to survey the girl for a moment before his eyes narrowed “You were listening to what we were talking about, weren't you?” Goku's golden eyes widened fearfully “You were snooping.”

 

“Not intentionally!” she squealed “But the walls are so thin that even if you guys were whispering I could hear it, I swear! Please don't get mad I'm sorry!” Sanzo took a step forward and Goku squealed again “Sanzo, I'm sorry!” He was less than a foot in front of her and she was pressed against the far wall, whimpering and staring up into his narrowed eyes.

 

She bit her bottom lip again and felt the warm blood ooze down her chin. She closed her eyes and turned her head away from the man, she wasn't afraid but she knew that he could easily kill her, and being dead was definitely not something she wanted.

 

She gasped when Sanzo brushed a warm thumb over her lip and wiped away the blood. She opened her eyes; he was staring at her face intently, searching for something. “You're not afraid of me, are you?” He asked quietly after a moment, Goku blinked rapidly and then shook her head slowly. He smirked and placed a hand beside her head on the wall, leaning his weight on the hand he bent close to her “Do you trust me, then?”

 

Goku realized she was breathing heavily but it still was not from fear, it was from something completely different…it was something she couldn't place. It was a brand new feeling that was like excitement but ten times better and made her feel a hundred times dizzier. “Do you trust me, Goku?” Sanzo's voice was low and raspy and sweet as it swept down her neck. Was this what they called “sexual tension?”

 

“Goku…” he was leaning close, almost excruciatingly close. His touch made her want to wrap her arms around him, hold him close and continue exploring these new emotions that were enveloping her. “Do you trust me, my little monkey?”

 

“Yes…” Goku breathed feeling her knees go weaker, threatening to give out “Yes, I trust you…”

 

“Are you sure?” She nodded and felt him grin beside her “Can I trust you?” Another whimper escaped her throat and she nodded again “Then trust me to go out tonight…I'll come back to you and explain everything.”

 

“Do you promise?” Goku whispered, he chuckled low in his throat and leaned closer, their bodies coming into contact. She could feel the warmth of his body, so tempting and delicious that she was bound to lose herself soon if they continued their position.

 

“Yeah, I promise.” Sanzo answered slowly and slightly sensuously before turning on his heel and walking towards the door, with his hand on the knob he glanced at her over his shoulder “Stay here and wait for me, Goku.” Goku nodded from the other side of the room and he walked out, slamming the door shut behind him.

 

Goku stood plastered to the wall for several moments, breathing heavily. Her chest rising and falling quickly and then she slid to the floor with a confused sob. Planted firmly on the floor her breath came back in short and loud gasps as she tried to regain herself.

 

From the hallway Sanzo closed his eyes and sighed audibly, he pressed his hot forehead to the cool wood of the door, listening to her struggle for breath. When Hakkai stepped out of his own room and cleared his throat torrents of shivers ran down the blonde's spine. “Are you alright, Sanzo?”

 

“I'm fine, don't worry about it, Hakkai.” He replied quickly, straightening up “But Goku overheard our conversation.”

 

“Oh my…” Hakkai sighed “Are we going to leave her-“

 

“I already told you she is to stay with me.” Sanzo cut him sharply “We're going to tell her the truth tonight.”

 

“Are you sure that's wise, Sanzo?”

 

“Hunh.” Sanzo snorted “Like she'd let me live it down now that she's heard so much? Of course it's `wise.' Do you not think she'll find it suspicious when we get as far west as possible and then tell her we're sneaking off to a different country?” Hakkai remained silent as he stared placidly at the closed door of Sanzo and Goku's room.

 

“I didn't realize you were planning on taking her with us to Japan.” He said quietly after a moment, Sanzo sneered.

 

“What part of `she's to stay with me' do you not comprehend, Hakkai? Don't tell me that retard Gojyo is rubbing off on you?” Sanzo snorted again and turned to walk down the stairs, Hakkai stood outside the door still. He stayed put contemplating the new information he'd been given until Sanzo's harsh voice called him into the lobby. With fierce determination Hakkai replaced the mask of a peaceful smile and followed him.

 

=-Ima' go medieval on yo' ass.-=

 

Gojyo groaned loudly when he discovered the TV in his room didn't work and the clock radio on the nightstand beside the bed was bust when it came to playing anything other than country or tejano music. With another groan he walked around the room crossly, puffing on a cigarette despite the blatant “NO SMOKING” sign hanging above the bed. He stopped pacing when he remembered what he was supposed to be doing: watching the monkey.

 

He grabbed a six pack of beer and a few cans of soda from the cooler and walked into the hallway. A woman with a child in her arms walked past him and smiled suggestively. Had she not been carrying a kid on her hip Gojyo might have followed her and partied, instead he smirked “That dress looks fabulous on you! I wish my boyfriend would dress nicely, too. Where did you get it?” he said in the gayest voice he could muster, the woman sneered and walked away quickly muttering angrily

 

“Hey where are you going, sweetheart?” Gojyo called after her mockingly “I was just trying to make conversation! Bitch!” he grinned and knocked on Goku's door “Goku, open the door it's me, Gojyo the man with the long and sexy legs.” No answer “Goku! B-F-F!! Open up so we can paint each other's toenails and-hey man.” He nodded at a man who passed “We can braid each other's hair and maybe when the others come back we can tell ghost stories and-“

 

Goku opened the door and glowered at him “You are so stupid.” She said wryly allowing the red head to walk inside the room. “What do you want?”

 

“I'm bored out of my fucking skull so let's do something. Let's play Craps or something.” He ordered, setting the soda and beer on a table, when he turned to face her again she had planted herself on the large bed. “What's wrong?”

 

“I don't feel like playing Craps.” She sighed “And nothing is wrong

I'm just kind of tired. But you're welcome to do whatever.” Gojyo blinked.

 

“Okay now I know something is wrong.” He scratched his head “Is it because Sanzo chased away your new boyfriend?”

 

“Whuh? Boy…oh you mean that guy I was talking to, no I don't care about that.” She sighed again.

 

“Then what's up?” Goku growled in frustration.

 

“Nothing is wrong and if there was something wrong why would I tell you about it?” she grumbled receiving a shrug.

 

“Maybe because I'm the only one you can openly talk to about shit?” Goku frowned and he continued “I mean, Sanzo is a prick who gets angry with everything and Hakkai…well…Hakkai would just send you back to Sanzo if he can't find a motherly enough answer to give you himself.” Goku raised her eyebrows.

 

She had never really considered turning to Gojyo for any type of answer, but when he put it like that…he was the obvious problem solver. She sighed and flopped to her side. “So kiddo,” Gojyo started, propping is legs up on the table, something that Sanzo would have shot him in the foot for “What is on your mind?”

 

Goku shrugged which proved to be difficult considering she was still on her side “Well…” she started softly, catching Gojyo's full attention “Do you remember the first time you felt…lust?”

 

Gojyo snorted “Actually, yeah. I do.” He snickered and grinned at Goku “I was thirteen…just hit puberty you know…” Goku sat up slowly and stared at him “I had this teacher, a woman, and she was always wearing these real short skirts…” he grinned again and opened a beer “Well when I was walking home after school one day I happened to see that teacher on the side of the road…she had a flat tire and I fixed it for her.

 

“So she offered me a ride home and when we got to my house she thanked me for fixing her tire and she leaned over and gave me a hug…” his grin widened “Man…I tell you there was nothing more awesome than having those big boobs pressed up against my chest…and being a kid at the time I went wild. It was like all the intelligence was just sucked right out of me and I was breathing all hard and then I started feeling…weird.”

 

“Weird how?” Goku breathed.

 

“Well, I thought it was weird then but now I know it's normal to have that reaction when…uh…horny.” He glanced at Goku and noticed that rather than being flustered by what she was told she seemed to be interested. Not in that way but interested as a kid would be in learning how a rocket was built.

 

“Did you think you loved that teacher, Gojyo?” she asked tentatively, Gojyo let out a harsh laugh.

 

“Oh I `loved' that bitch alright…” he chortled “I `loved' the brains clear out of her in the back seat of her car right there in front of my house.” He snickered at the shocked response Goku gave. “But someone from school saw us and turned her in.” he sighed and scratched his nose “She was fired and lost her teaching license for that.”

 

His face grew thoughtful as he sipped his beer “Poor lady…I don't even remember her name.” he frowned and glanced at Goku “Do you think you're lusting after someone?” Goku shrugged.

 

“It's hard to tell for me because I don't get boners.” She replied making Gojyo spit his beer out “What? You're shocked that I know what a boner is? Oh come on, Gojyo, I'm a high school graduate. I better know what a boner or `erection' is. I've just never been horny or whatever for anyone.”

 

“NEVER?” Gojyo exasperated when Goku shook her head he nearly fell off his chair “I don't believe it, you are a little nun!”

 

“I'm not a nun just because I'm a virgin!”

 

“So you're like…frigid right now?”

 

“Considering the circumstances…yes, I suppose I am `frigid.'” She said sardonically “And yes I know what frigid means!” she sighed again and let silence erupt. It was weird to have silence when in the presence of Gojyo, thought it never lasted very long.

 

“So who is it you're lusting after?” Goku cast him a sideways glance “Is it Sanzo?” She didn't answer “Ooh, it is Sanzo. Aw, how sweet. Kodak moment, ya know?”

 

Goku glared at him again but decided to ignore what he said and instead changed the subject to something she knew would hit a nerve “So are you in love with Hakkai?” Gojyo spit his beer out again and began to choke, Goku remained inert. When he could no longer extend his fake choking and coughing she stared at him expectantly.

 

“Uh…” Gojyo cleared his throat and chugged what was left of his beer “I guess so…I…uh…I don't know.”

 

“How can you not know? You guys have sex, right?”

 

“Sex doesn't mean we're in love…”

 

“And you're his exclusive, right?”

 

“Well…yeah. But he's not mine.”

 

“Well he obviously loves you.”

 

“What makes you say that?”

 

Goku rolled her eyes “Why else would Hakkai allow you to sleep around with other people if he didn't love you? And especially if it isn't just `casual sex' you guys have. Do you have sex with other guys and girls or just other girls?” Gojyo stared fixedly at the prying girl.

 

“What's it to you?”

 

“I'm just curious.” Goku shrugged.

 

“Hakkai is the only guy I have sex with.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Because he's the only guy I'm really attracted to…”

 

“Why?”

 

“I don't know.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Are you a parrot?!” Gojyo snapped angrily “I mean what the hell, I answer one question and you just keep going and going…like the Energizer bunny or something.”

 

“Which one?”

 

“'Which one' what?”

 

“You said I'm like parrot then you said I'm like the Energizer bunny, so which is it?”

 

“JESUS!” Gojyo threw his head back and swore vehemently “You do this shit on purpose, don't you?”

 

“Yes.” Goku answered with an innocent smile “It's fun!” she giggled “Can I ask you more questions?”

 

“As long as they don't pertain to my sex life, then yes.” He replied while opening another can of beer.

 

“What's with the blood red hair?”

 

“I color it.” Gojyo answered and after glancing at the girl he continued, knowing she was going to question his answer again “I started to color my hair because I didn't like people to tell me how much I look like my mother and now it's just a force of habit.” Goku frowned and opened her mouth to ask but he cut her off “When I let my hair stay its natural color I look just like my mom, but with it this random color it distracts people. Happy?”

 

“That's weird.” Goku said after a moment “Do you not like your mother?”

 

“She didn't like me.” Gojyo sighed “She left me with my dad and my grandmother. Who were both kind of crazy…” he sighed again “I ran away from home when I was sixteen and started making it on my own like a big boy.” he took a swig from his beer “But I got a job and stuff. I knew they wouldn't bother bringing me home or anything.”

 

“Can I ask another?”

 

“Shoot.”

 

“When did you and Hakkai meet?”

 

“Uh…we met when we were nineteen.” He thought carefully “I helped him out of a tight spot and let him stay with me at my apartment.” He glanced at Goku and noticed she was fighting another Gojyo-Hakkai relationship question “We started our relationship a year after we met.” Goku nodded.

 

“When did you meet Sanzo?”

 

“Oh we met about two years ago, right before we started this road trip.” he sighed “But I can't go any further than that when it comes to the trip, kiddo. That's Sanzo's job.”

 

“I wasn't going to ask.” That was the truth. She knew she could ask more questions when Sanzo came back. She trusted him. “I think I'm going to take a shower. You can stay here and watch TV if you want.”

 

“Like you telling me I couldn't would have made any difference.” Goku shrugged and grabbed her clothes before she walked into the bathroom, shutting and locking the door behind her.

 

Now, Goku had had every intention of undressing, turning on the shower, bathing and then returning to the room to watch TV with Gojyo and wait like a good girl for Sanzo to get back. But when she pulled back the shower curtain and noticed a large oak tree just outside a window she could easily fit through she quickly changed her mind. With no hesitation she ensured the door was locked, turned the shower on, opened the window and jumped onto the tree.

 

Being wet from running through the shower made it a bit difficult to crawl down the tree, but she made it down nonetheless. She was barefoot and damp but her determination was great. Knowing Sanzo had gone to the church made it easy for her to know exactly where she was going, she could be back before he did. Gojyo may suspect something about her prolonged shower but that didn't matter.

 

Luckily, the town was small enough for her to make it to the church on foot before the sun set. Her heart beat wildly when she walked up the front stairs to the church, she could almost feel Sanzo through the doors and anticipation nipped at her fiercely. She bit her tongue when her hand came to rest upon the doorknob. She couldn't decide if she should go in or if she should just stay outside the doors which would basically defeat the whole purpose of coming. But getting caught by Sanzo would do the same.

 

While set in the middle of her decision voices caught her attention, she followed the sound and came upon an open window on the side of the church. When she peeked inside she had to clamp a hand over her mouth from squealing with delight at the sight she saw. It was Sanzo, standing at the altar with a priest with dark hair. They were talking in low voices, but Goku was able to catch what they said.

 

Glancing around Goku noticed the church was empty save for one other man who sat in a pew, on his knees in prayer. His head was bowed and his eyes were closed. The man was surprisingly handsome, with dark brown hair that was slicked back in an important looking style, he had a sandy tan much like Gojyo's. But this man, even with his eyes closed behind thin-rimmed glasses was much scarier than Gojyo.

 

Goku gave herself a small shake and averted her eyes from the man back to Sanzo and the priest. “We'll be leaving the country, Father.” Sanzo said softly “We'll need them soon.”

 

The priest nodded and cleared his throat “I can get you what you need, my son.” He responded “Four you say?”

 

“Correct. Three males and one female.” Sanzo answered.

 

“Well I cannot give them to you directly, my son.” The priest informed “But there is a town where my brother resides. He can give you what you require.”

 

“Thank you, Father.” Sanzo gave a small bow but the priest shook his head.

 

“Your father, Priest Koumyou would have done the same.” He smiled “Now, as to your earlier question I'm afraid we'll have to resign to my office…Follow me.” Goku whined quietly seeing Sanzo disappear. When the door to the office shut she pouted and looked around the church again. The man was gone.

 

“I hope you know it doesn't cost to enter the church, sweetheart.” The voice that came from behind Goku sent waves of cold shivers down her vertebrae. She gulped and turned around slowly. It was the man from inside the church. He gave her a smile that did not reach his cold grey eyes. “What are you doing hiding out here, hm?”

 

Goku bit her tongue violently to stop the cry that threatened to escape her throat. All of her instincts were on fire, screaming to run away from this man. She hadn't even heard him come near, and if her eyes weren't open she would not have been able to tell he was there. A small sob broke through her lips and the man gave a mocking pout.

 

“What's wrong?” he asked “Cat got your tongue?” he gripped her chin and pulled her face up “My, my, what pretty eyes you have…like honey dripping from the hive.”

 

“Leave…leave me alone.” She squeaked making the man chuckled.

 

“You're a cute little thing, you know that?' he smiled that cold, empty smile again “It's going to be dark soon. Why don't I give you a ride home in my limo? Hm? Would you like that Miss Honey-Eyes?” Goku jerked from his grasp “You're feisty, aren't you?” he raked his cold stare over her and paused at something golden around her neck, sticking just out of her collared shirt. He reached out and grabbed it, pulling a long golden chain out. His eyes widened slightly and a stupid grin swept his face.

 

“What a pretty necklace…” he mused “May I…take it off of you along with…other articles?” Goku snarled and kneed him in the crotch before running off. The man howled and dropped to the ground, cursing under his breath.

 

“Mr. Jian Yi!” voices yelled their concern when they saw him doubled over on the ground “Are you alright? What happened?” Ni Jian Yi shook away their helpful hands and straightened his clothes.

 

“I'm fine.” He snapped, running a hand through his tussled hair, he turned n the direction of where Goku had run but found she was nowhere to be seen. He smirked lightly “I'm absolutely fine…little Goku.” He dropped his voice and allowed his advocates to lead him to the waiting limousine.

 

Somewhere not far from the church a man with short brown hair watched the scene take place with narrowed eyes. “So the twisted doctor has found them again…” He hissed and stared after Goku who was running across a field back towards the inn. “Goku…you're a human this time around…so you have to be careful…” Kougaiji sighed and shook his head, turning around he mounted his motorcycle and drove off.
