"I still don't understand what I did wrong," Goku said as he reached for a bowl of food.

"Knowing Gojyo, he won't readily forgive you," Hakkai said.

"Here they come," Sanzo said as the couple walked past them.

"I wonder where they're going," Hakkai commented as Goku reached for another bowl of food.

"Is he still mad at me?" Goku asked.

"He'll get over it," Sanzo said.

"It seems that they're going to a jeweler," Hakkai said.

"What?! You don't think..."

"I don't know. Shall we go find out what's going on?"

"Hey, where are we going? I'm not done eating," Goku protested as Sanzo dragged him away from the table.

"They're going to a jewelry store," Sanzo said.

"Do you think he proposed to Miss Rianna?" Hakkai asked.

"The master of one night stands? Get serious."

"He has been with Miss Rianna more times than the others."

"I like her. She's nice," Goku said.

"They're trying on rings. Perhaps she's cured his womanizing," Hakkai commented.

"He sees us," Sanzo said as Gojyo gave him the finger.

"Is he gonna marry her?" Goku asked.

"I don't know what they're doing," Hakkai replied as Rianna took Gojyo's hand. He turned around and gazed at what she was pointing at. He placed his arm around her waist and nodded his head.

"Are you getting married?" Goku asked once they had walked out of the store.

"Where did you get that idea?" Gojyo asked.

"The rings..."

"We just got something to remember each other by. How likely is it that I'm going to run into someone like her?"

"You do have a point. Someone like Miss Rianna is indeed a rare find," Hakkai said.

"You all have done so much for me. Thank you all," Rianna said as she ran her fingers through Goku's hair. Goku flushed and Gojyo laughed.

"She's treating you like a dog," he snickered and Goku glared at him.

"At least I don't have a lusting look on my face," Goku said and Rianna smiled.

"Well I know better than to walk blatantly into a woman's room."

"You could have locked the door Gojyo," Hakkai said.

"Yeah you pervert," Goku said and dodged Gojyo's fist.

"However did a priest like you wind up in their company?" Rianna asked Sanzo.

"Destiny," Sanzo replied.

"Destiny?"

"Something had to bring us together Miss Rianna. How else do you explain all of us traveling together?" Hakkai inquired.

"Hey, I told you if I had the choice, I'd stop right here and stay with a certain redhead," Gojyo said and Rianna lowered her head. "Red looks so good on you."

"If her face gets any redder, she'll explode," Goku said and his behind Sanzo as Gojyo glared at him.

"What's that?" Rianna asked as she knelt on the ground and gazed at Hakuryuu.

"That's our transportation," Hakkai said.

"Really?"

"It's a dragon," Goku said.

"Hey I've got an idea. Do you guys feel like losing some money?" Gojyo asked as he watched Rianna.

"Sounds fun but you'll be the one losing money," Sanzo said as Rianna stood up. Gojyo took her hand and she looked at him.

"We're going to play cards. Come on."
