Goku was enjoying his fight. He was jumping, whacking, spinning, and beating. Oh, how fun it was.. That was until some weird smoke covered the area. He heard Kou mutter a "shit," before he passed to the ground. Soon, Goku followed.
Hakkai made some witty remark before he passed out too and Sanzo mutter many many obscenities. Gojyo was to busy oogling women to realize what came over him. Miwa giggled and gave Brooke a thumbs up.
"Oh Yaone, thank you. I think you should drag Kou away too. Maybe confess your loooveee," she giggled as she tip-toed over to Hakkai. Aw, he was so cute when he slept. She paused for a moment just as she grabbed him. "I hope they don't think we are crazy or anything..." She shrugged.

"They already do." Brooke said. She tried to pick up Goku, but he was heavy! Instead, she grabbed his arms and proceeded to drag him back inside the inn. Doku was leaning against the wall, his head down, and sword lying a couple inches from his body. Lirin was sprawled out, snoring loudly. Yaone grimaced. She didn't want to talk about how she felt about Lord Kou, but it would be better to move him somewhere more comfortable than where he currently was. Yaone dragged him over to where Doku was and set him in the same position. "Sorry, Lord Kou." she whispered. "I did this for them." Kou only gave a sleepy response, and fell right back to sleep.

Meanwhile, Brooke had succeeded in dragging Goku all the way up the stairs into one of the room. she managed to drag him up onto one of the beds and left him there. She'd be back only momentarily. She had to check on everyone else, to make sure Miwa wasn't having any trouble. With a skip, she made a beeline toward Miwa. "this is so cool!" She squealed. "I finally have Goku right where I want him!"

Miwa was having trouble dragging Hakkai. She kept on loosing her grip on him and had him bang his head many times. "Yeah, I'm not sure what i'm supposed to do with him after I get him alone." She eyed him for a moment and smiled anyways. "Uh, i hope they don't try to kill us for kidnapping," she laughed and asked Brooke to help her drag the man up to a room. It was much easier to do it with some help. she wasn't sure how Brooke managed to carry Goku. But then again super human strength can happen when a girl is giddy over a shirtless boy, right?

"I think only Sanzo would try. Gojyo would probably be mad that he wasn't the one being kidnapped." Brooke said. she bent over and helped Miwa with Hakkai. when she was done, she waved goodbye and skipped off to the room where Goku was passed out. She grinned and climbed on top of him, knowing the sleeping gas wouldn't last much longer. "Sorry, I had to do it before Kou killed ya. I can't stand seeing my monkey die on me. You're gonna be my boyfriend, and you're gonna love it." She said in his ear. It wasn't brainwashing, or even subliminal messaging, but it was just her rambling, hoping he'd wake up soon and they could talk, and whatever else.

Downstairs, Yaone sat down by Kou and waited. She had no idea who these girls were, but she could relate to them. It was hard to stand by and love someone from a distance. She studied Kou's face carefully. Was she as brave as these two girls, to take advantage of him? Or was she too polite? Yaone put her lips up against Kou's ear, and whispered the three words she couldn't say when he was awake. "I want you." He only twitched, but didn't respond. It figures.

Goku groaned and his eyes slowly opened. "Aw, my head." He blinked his eyes trying to clear his vision. "Where am I?" He sat up and came face to face with Brooke. O.O "What are you doing!?" Goku panicked, worried about what she was going to do to him... When he was with out a shirt. He had never been in this sort of situation. He wondered if she might be thinking about eating him. Of course she wasn't thinking that, but how would he know?

Meanwhile, Hakkai also was starting to awake. He was on a bed and Miwa was sitting there staring at him. "Ah...Wh-what happened?" ,
Miwa tried not to look guilty. "Uh, sleeping gas?"

Sanzo woke in a blind rage. His yelling and swearing could be heard through out the inn. Gojyo just sat up, trying to recover from the drowsiness. He blinked then asked where all the women were and then he patted himself down and asked where his smokes were.

Brooke winced. "Uh, sounds like Sanzo's not too happy," She muttered to herself. She tried to ignore his yelling, and climbed off of Goku. "Uh, well, I kinda sorta made a bargain with Yaone. I wanted you alone...for.....reasons." She smiled, but the expression on her face was completely guilty. "I'm sorry, but I didn't want you all bloodied up and unconscious when I took you. Although a fight with Kou would have been fun to see!" Brooke pointed to the camera she had laying on the floor. (It just magically appeared, okay?) "I took pictures." This was going nowhere. Goku wasn't saying anything, and she wasn't sure if that was a sign of anger, or just pure confusion. "Okay, look. I like you. A lot. I want to kiss you." What? Where had that come from? She hadn't meant to say that at all. She blushed a deep red, trying not to panic. "I mean, I want to get to know you better." It was better to stop talking before she blurted anything else embarrassing.

Back downstairs, Lirin was stretching. "I'm hungry big brother!" She whined. "Baldy won't give me any meatbuns!" Once more, Lirin was sitting on Sanzo's shoulders poking at his head. Kou just looked annoyed, being that he had facepalmed himself in frustation.
"We're leaving." Kou hissed. "Now." Doku and Yaone were waiting. Although Yaone was smiling, inside she was resisting the urge to grab her lord, slam him into the wall, and make out with him until they were both blue in the face. She snapped out of her thoughts when she noticed Doku giving her a look, and jerking his head toward Kou. Her eyes widened when she realized he was actually hinting at her to do what she was secretly wanting to.
"I can't, Doku." She whispered.
"Everyone knows you have the hots for him." Doku whispered back.
"I'm HUNGRY!" Lirin shouted to everyone within earshot.

Miwa sat akwardly staring at Hakkai. "So what exactly was your plan?" He asked her. Miwa gave him an odd smile and shrugged.
"You see," Miwa started. "My friend and I know a lot about your group. And we always wanted to meet you guys. As luck turns out you guys ended up here. So we formulated a plan to get you all alone."
Hakkai let out a quiet laugh. "That's a bit devious. What were you planning on doing after we were alone?"
Miwa scooted over to Hakkai and grinned. "Well you see. I have no idea..." She laughed then Hakkai did too. "Sanzo and Gojyo are down stairs... still..."
Hakkai sighed. Sanzo didn't sound very happy when he woke up. He was going to kill somebody. However, he didn't hear sanzos yells any more. Want he could hear was something about: "Where the hell is that damn monkey?" And "What happened to Hakkai" then "Hey those two chicks are missing..."



Goku wasn't sure what to say. This girl was really weird. What should he do? Should he tell Sanzo? She he just tell her to leave him alone? He'd never had anybody act like this around him. Nobody said they wanted to kiss him. What exactly was kissing like? Goku never had a girl friend and certainly never kissed a girl... on the lips... Now that he thought about it... That did seem sort of nice. She was pretty and her lips looked inviting. As all the little gagets in Goku's brain were whirring and moving his face looked rather blank and stupid. He was silent for too long and all that time thinking, thinking, think...."Ah what the heck," he said with a giant smile. "I suppose we can try to have a kiss. I never done it before though..." He shrugged. "Can't be that hard right?"

Smiling, Brooke shook her head. "No, kissing someone is really easy. It's hard to explain, but it's not supposed to be complicated. Just do what I do," She said. Now she was feeling shy. Here she was, getting ready to kiss the boy of her dreams. In the back of her mind, she wondered how Miwa was doing. Hopefully she was having better luck with Hakkai. Brooke forced herself to focus on herself. Leaning forward, she closed her eyes and pressed her lips against his. Of course, she wasn't seeing fireworks, but it was definitely nice. Pulling away, she opened her eyes to glance at him, to see was he was doing or reacting. She hoped he wasn't shocked. Hopefully now, he'd make the next move if he wanted to.

Once Brooke pulled away Goku's lips turned into a wide grin. "Wow! It was soft!" Goku studied the look on Brooke's face and had to explain his surprise. "Not used to soft things touching me..." He paused and slightly blushed. "You know.. With Sanzo always slapping me, or Gojyo being an ass. And especially Koukaji always showing up....Demons and all. Their fists aren't exactly marshmallow pillows." Goku paused for a moment to drool over the thought of a nice soft dessert of marshmallows. He smiled kindly and grabbed her hand and put it to his cheek. "Are all girls so soft?"

Miwa snuggled up to Hakkai. "I think I rather stay up here away from them."
Hakkai sighed. "I don't blame you. Sanzo can get pretty scary when he's angry." He put an arm around Miwa, who wanted to squee.
"Sanzo could take some lessons from you."
Hakkai chuckled and looked at her. "I suppose you are right. After all he should learn to manage his stress a bit better before he pops a vein. That could be bad."
They both laughed in unison. Once the laughing died down they looked at each other, then blushed, and looked away.
"Maybe we should should go down and try to calm down Sanzo before he kills somebody," Miwa suggested.
"Perhaps that is a good idea."
They walked themselves down stairs where Sanzo had already started to calm down. He had a cigarette sticking from his lips, but a frown still stuck on his face.
"Where did the others go?" Hakkai asked.
"They left before I could kill them," Sanzo replied in a gruff voice. One eye raised suspiciously at Hakkai and Miwa. "I'm not even going to ask," he muttered.

Brooke's face turned a dark red. "Um....I don't know. Maybe," she stammered. Biting her lip, Brooke wasn't sure what to do or say now. She wanted to kiss him again, but she didn't want to rush things. She wanted to suggest getting food, but she wanted to be alone with him for just a few minutes longer. She had him in a bed, shirtless, with his attention focused only on her. She wondered if he could hear her heart pounding. All she could do was glance at him, and look back down.

"Come on Big brother!" Lirin squealed. "I wanted to fight them!" Her hands were resting on top of her head, and she was glaring ferociously at Kou. Or at least attempting to.
"I wasn't going to stay there and listen to Sanzo scream at us unnecessarily. One of of us deserves that." Kou snapped, turning his glare from Lirin to Yaone. "Some of us, were drugged against our will. Some of us," Kou's eyes narrowed. "Didn't get to fight our opponents." Yaone looked down in shame, and her eyes watered.
"I was just helping those two girls out. The poor things wanted Sanzo's team's attention for so long, they were desparate!" It was a pitiful excuse.
"I want to go back!" Lirin piped up.
"Forget it. We'll find them later. I'm going home."
Yaone watched as Kou marched forward, with Doku right behind him. Her pout turned into a sly grin. "One of us," Yaone whispered to herself. "Will get the object of her desire." She then ran forward to catch up with the others.

((sorry it's short >.> dunno what else to say D: ))

Goku looked at Brooke studying her face. "You look really nervous," he stated. He rubbed his bare arm, it was starting to get a bit chilly. "Is it because we had a kiss?"

"Sooo, let me get this straight," Gojyo said as he squished his cigarette in the ash tray. "You had Yaonne put us in a drug induced sleep so you could kidnap Goku and Hakkai...." Gojyo paused and twitched. "Why the hell doesn't this shit ever happen to me?" He slapped his hands on the table as he shot up. He then pointed a finger at the stairs leading up to where the rooms where. "That stupid monkey is getting laid and I'm just sitting here? What the hell is wrong with this scenario?"
"Uh, I don't think that is happening, my friend wouldn't take advantage of Goku like that."
Gojyo glared at Miwa with this red eyes. Usually they made him look quiet handsome, but right now they made him look a tad bit insane, which scared her. "You're right," Gojyo said as he sat himself back down in the chair. "That monkey is to stupid." He grummbled something to himself and pulled out a cigarette and then lit it.
Sanzo just sat there quietly, shaking his head. "He can do what ever he wants...."

Brooke shrugged. "Yeah, I guess," she said. He was so hot! "I've liked you for awhile, and it was nice..." She wasn't sure what to say now. She wanted to kiss him again. No, she wanted more than a kiss. But she didn't want to scare him off. "Um....I'm kind of hungry." It was pathetic. She knew he was going to jump at the chance to get food, but she wasn't sure what else to do. It's not like they could start dating right away. He only just met her. Sort of.

"Goku''s getting laid?" Lirin seemed to appear out of no where. She climbed up and sat on Sanzo's shoulders. "Hi Baldy! I'm baaaack!" Behind Lirin was a very annoyed looking Kou.
"She just ran off again. I'm sorry for the trouble." Kou muttered. His left eye was twitching. He really didn't want to be around the Sanzo-ikkou anymore, not with those two strange girls running a muck. "We'll take her and go."
"No big brother! I want to stay!" Lirin shouted. She pointed at Miwa. "I challenge you to a duel!"
"Now Lirin, she's just a human. We don't need to fight her." Yaone said. She still had a strange gleam in her eye. Not even Lirin could figure out why Yaone was acting strange. Was she mad that she got yelled at? Whatever.
"I'm bored though!" Lirin whined.

Goku smiled. "Well there is plenty of food here," he said with a grin. He jumped up off the bed then started looking around. "Uh where did my cloths go?" He really didn't want to go back down there when his shirt and stuff were missing. His face turned into a pout. "I realllly don't wanna go down there if thats where I left my things." He turned to Brooke. "Hey, do you think you could maybe grab em for me?"

Miwa groaned. She really hated that hyperactive demon girl. And it seemed Sanzo hated her even more. His head seemed like it was going to explode. Slowly his gun raised up, he threatened Lirin with a few warning shots. "I swear to god I'll kill you and I don't give a damn what your brother has to say about it," Sanzo snapped.
"If you're so bored why don't you play hide and seek with your brother?" Miwa suggested. Maybe that would get them to leave again.

Lirin scowled. "I'm not going anywhere!" But she climbed down anyway. "My mother hates me, and that castle is always so dark and gloomy. Can ya blame a girl for wanting a bit of fun?" She folded her arms in a pout. Doku chuckled and patted her head.
"I can't blame you. I feel the same way."
Lirin pointed at Miwa again. "I still challenge you...." Lirin pointed toward the kitchen. "...to an eat-off!"

Brooke nodded. She didn't understand why Goku was embarrassed to be shirtless, but if that's what he wanted, she would do it for him. "I'll be right back." She ran out of the room and down the stairs. Everyone was sitting inside, awake. Her face turning red, she tried to sneak around the table to where all of Goku's things were. Bending down to pick them up, she smacked her head against the wall. She fell back clutching her head in pain. So much for the sneaky approach. "Owww!" She moaned. She hoped no one noticed her, because of Lirin causing a commotion.

"How about not," Miwa said. "You can go pig out over in a corner." Miwa was mostly trying to ignore the demon girl and that was when she noticed Brooke sneaking around. She looked around to see if anybody else noticed her, and they didn't their attention was still on Lirin. Miwa sneaked away and rushed over to Brooke. "So, how was it? Did you kiss him?" She looked back at Hakkai and pouted. "I was to much a coward to do anything. I don't want him to think I'm a freak. D: "

Blushing, Brooke nodded. "We kissed. He asked me if all girls were as soft as I was." Her face turned even redder at the memory. Clearing her throat she picked up Goku's clothes. "He wanted me to get his clothes so he can come back downstairs. We'll be back down in a few minutes." Despite that, Brooke was grinning from ear to ear. She ran back upstairs, back to Goku's room. "here's your things." She said breathlessly. "I had to sneak around, I didn't want people seeing me." She decided not to mention the fact that she hit her head. It wasn't a big deal anyway. She gave Goku his clothes back though, and nervously tucked her hair behind her ears.

Lirin pouted. "You're all mean!"
"Come on Lirin." Kou said. "Let's go. Besides, Goku isn't around to fight me. He's probably still asleep." Kou twitched a little. At that moment, a nap sounded like the best idea in the world. Grabbing Lirin by the arm, he started dragging her off, but was stopped by Yaone.
"My lord, why don't you and I take a walk?" Yaone suggested. "I think you need a break from people. I could offer you some company." She smiled innocently.
"Sure, why not." Kou muttered. He turned to Doku. "Keep her out of trouble." he snapped, referring to Lirin.
"Can do!" Doku said brightly. He had his hand resting on top of Lirin's head. It was mainly to keep her by his side. There was no use in pissing of the Sanzo-ikkou.

"Hey thanks," Goku said as he took his cloths. As he was dressing he told Brooke that he didn't want to go down stairs with out his cloths because he knew Gojyo was going to make fun of him for being with a girl with no shirt on. And he really hated when Gojyo did that. If only he could just beat that stupid kapa over the head with his staff. That would teach the stupid pervy idiot. "Okay all done. Let's get some food!"

Miwa had snuck back to her seat. Hakkai looked over at her and asked about Brooke. "Ohhh so you saw her over there.."
"Yes, it just makes me courious about her and Goku. In fact it makes me courious about both you women."
Miwa laughed nervously and shifted in her chair. "Oh really, why do you say?"
Hakkai leaned toward her so nobody could see or hear what they were talking about. "You must know us fairly well to want to kidnap us after just meeting us..."
Ah, Miwa knew where this was going. Hakkai must think they were stalkers or something.........Well that wasn't far from the truth and she couldn't let him know that.
Miwa let out a fake hearty laugh. "Oh Hakkai!" She whacked him on the back in good spirits. "You guys are famous. How could we NOT know about you?!"
Hakkai smiled. "Of course, you are right. How silly of me to think strange things about you two. We should be lucky to be graced by pretty girls."
"Heh, thanks."

Grinning brightly, Brooke followed Goku down the stairs. Now that she thought about it, she was hungry. All that work made her want food. "I want a meatbun!" She said. She would be happy if she had a plateful of meatbuns.

((I can't think of anything else to post ><))

((haha that's okay. it happens to me. Short post better than no post i think ;D ))

Goku's eyes lit up. In excitement he grabbed her hands. "You like meat buns tooo!?" Ahh, this was heaven! He had this pretty girl with him and she loved meatbuns to! Life couldn't get better~! "Ah man we should get stacks of them!" Goku let go over her hands and giggled all the way down the stairs. Once he reached the first floor everybody turned to see what he was giggling over. Everybody gave Goku and Brooke the wondering look. Gojyo just glared jealously...
Miwa waved at Brooke and patted the seat next to her. "Looks like we get to eat now!"

When no one was looking at her, Brooke put her hands up on her cheeks and gave a silent squeal. He touched her! Regaining her composure, she walked over to everyone else, no longer afraid of being seen. Although she was scared of Sanzo's wrath. "Goku and I both want meatbuns," she announced. She smiled innocently.
"No way! I want those too!" Lirin yelled. She pulled away from Doku and ran over to Goku and started shaking him. "You're sharing with me!" Letting go, she ran over to Brooke and gave her a bear hug. "PleaseohpleaseohpleasemynewbestfriendLirinwantsme atbuns!" Lirin shouted in one breath, not letting go. Brooke couldn't pull away. Lirin was too strong.

"Oh my," Hakkai laughed. "Seemed like Lirin found a new best friend."
Miwa frowned and stomped over to Lirin and yanked the young demon away with a strength she didn't know she had. "No body steals my best friend!" She glared at Lirin. "MINE" >.>
A young waitress walked buy and Miwa flagged her down. "Could you get some meatbuns for us? One giant platter and stack them as high as you can.. Oh and plate for that redhead brat." :]

Brooke was grateful that she was out of Lirin's grasp. "Thank you!" She rubbed her arms trying to get feeling back into them. "Now I definitely need meatbuns. That was a terrifying ordeal."
Lirin scowled. "I wasn't grabbing you that hard. You're such a phony." She turned her nose up at everyone else.

"Oh geeze, I really don't like that girl," Miwa whispered. "She's crazy. You better watch your meatbuns and Sugarbuns (goku). She might try to steal them." The waitress returned with the meatbuns and sat them at the table. She asked everybody else if they would like anything. They all ordered mass amounts of food and the lady left.
"Must be nice having a credit card with no max, hmm Sanzo?"
"It must be nice not to have a brain," he said in return.
Miwa scowled. "You're such a big meany."

Lirin immediately reached for the food, but was stopped by Doku. "Perhaps we should have a bit more manners. These guys are already tense enough, Lirin," Doku said quietly. Lirin just looked at him.
"Right." She whispered back. If it meant she could stay, she would be on her best behavior. Still, she gave Goku a slight glare. He was totally ignoring her! She didn't have feelings for him, but it wasn't like Goku to ignore people like that. Instead he was talking and laughing with that Brooke girl! She would show her up! Lirin grabbed a huge handful of meatbuns and held them over her head. "Hey look Goku! I like meatbuns too!" She began stuffing her face.

Goku looked up from Brooke to Lirin. He really liked this Brooke girl and it was slightly annoying when Lirin was trying to get attention. "Yeah, Lirin." He stuffed his mouth with a meatbun so he wouldn't have to talk. But he soon swallowed it and then he had to say something. "I know you do," he gave her a smile then turned back to Brooke. He was telling her about all the places they went and all the good food they had.
Once everybody's food arived they all started eating. Conversation was casual, as casual as it could be while eating with your enemies. That Koukagi guy looked really intimitating, but everybody else at the table really didn't care.
Gojyo sat eating quietly, which was very unlike him. For once he didn't have anybody to yell at and agrue with. As much as it may not seem like it Gojyo really enjoyed the time he spent fighting over food and everything else with Goku. Goku was like a little brother and now that girl was stealing his monkey. "I hope they leave soon," Gojyo complained.
"You and me both," Sanzo replied.
"Oh, come on guys. It's nice to have some decent company. At least they aren't trying to kill us," Hakkai said to the other men.
"Whatever," Sanzo said before stuffing a piece of steak in his mouth.
