CH 4

Aneko tapped her fingers on the counter. She sighed bored glancing up at the clock on the wall. 'Only 30 more minutes before I can close…' she thought. She sighed again, wishing those 30 minutes were up already, as she grabbed a broom to start cleaning up. As she swept the floor, the bell on the door rang signifying a customer walking in. Aneko smiled, her lavender eyes glancing up. What she saw startled her. A Sanzo priest stood before her, but the fact that he was a Sanzo priest wasn't what startled her. He stood there, his violet droopy eyes stared at hers, his hair was a golden color like a ray of the sun, his slight medium build was hidden by long white robes…he looked the way Kin would have looked…

Aneko snapped out of the trance to catch the last part of something he said, "Huh?"

The priest seemed to become annoyed at that and started to repeat himself.

"Aspirin, do you have any aspirin?" Sanzo stated.

"Uhh, yea! Let me get it for you…" the girl said as she seemed to snap out of a trance.

'What was this chick looking at?' he thought, 'Maybe she recognizes what I am? No she wouldn't act this flustered." He watched her as she leaned the broom over a chair and walked toward the counter. She had lavender eyes, and long golden blond hair, exactly like his. Her lean yet semi-muscular body moved with amazing agility under the tight high-neck red with silver lining shirt and matching loose pants. She seemed familiar but he knew he had never met her before.

The girl looked up at him, her eyes staring straight into his, almost seeing past them and into him.

"Sir?" she asked seemingly to become annoyed with him staring at her, "Is there anything else?"

Just as Sanzo was about to say no, Goku came in saying, "Sanzo…I'm…."

Goku stared at the two, his eyes growing wide. The girl, only a little taller than him, looked almost exactly like Sanzo. The only few differences were: 1) the girl (obviously) was a girl and Sanzo wasn't, 2) Her eyes were lavender and weren't droopy, 3) Her stare wasn't as harsh as Sanzo's. He pointed at the girl, "S…s…s…Sanzo! She looks like you!"

The girl looked confusedly in-between him and Sanzo, not understanding. Sanzo became angry, pulling out a fan. He pointed the fan at Goku and said, "I've got a headache already from you. So I suggest you shut up or you will have one too."

The girl smirked placing Sanzo's purchase in a bag, "Here, you can have it on the house."

Sanzo turned to look at the girl stating, "We don't accept charity."

Aneko smiled at the priest, "It's not charity. It's on the house. Any other purchases you have or any medical attention you need will not be on the house."

The priest grunted, as he reached for the bag. Aneko kept the smile on her face as she called out to them, "Have a nice day!"

The boy he called Goku smiled in return saying, "You too! Hey… do you know where a good restaurant is? I'm really hungry…" Goku clutched his stomach as it rumbled.

Aneko laughed. Goku reminded her so much of Sanyu. She started to respond as a young man dressed in green walked up to Goku saying, "Come on, Goku. Sanzo wants to find an inn before dark."

Aneko looked at him while Goku said, "But, Hakkai, I was just trying to find out where a good restaurant is…"

Aneko giggled, "Well, I can solve both of those problems real quick."

The man named Hakkai glanced up at her, shock registering in his eyes, as he asked, "You can?"

Aneko nodded, reminded by this man of Amaya, "Yea, the best restaurant in town is right below the only inn in town. The next inn is about 3 miles west, just on the outskirts of town, but it's all in shambles and charge ridiculously high prices for a room, plus no food there."

Just as she finished, Suki came walking through the door that led to their home, "Hey, Aneko, you almost done closing up? Amaya's having problems keeping Sanyu from raiding the fridge." Her crimson eyes glanced over at the two by the door, "Oh, last minute customers?"

Aneko smiled, "Yea, just telling them where the inn and best restaurant in town is."

Suki sighed pushing a strand of her crimson hair behind her ear, "Well…"

"I'M HUNGRY, GOD DAMNIT!!" Sanyu pushed past her, her blue eyes glaring at Aneko, "YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO FINISH CLEANING UP CUZ WE'RE GONNA GO EAT, GOT IT??"

Amaya followed, smiling an apology, "I couldn't keep her back there and out of the fridge at the same time, sorry…"

Suki looked over at the eldest of their group, "Ya know, you could have at least said 'excuse me', or 'sorry for pushing you out of the way, Suki'." She pointed over to the door, "And you might want to be nicer since there's still customers here."

Sanyu's eyes went wide as she looked, "Oh my gods…" She bowed quickly, "I'm sorry you had to witness that, I just haven't eaten a lot today and I'm very hungry." At that, her stomach rumbled as if to prove her point.

Amaya's face blushed as she smiled and bowed, apologizing. Aneko looked at her saying, "Why are you apologizing? Sanyu is the one who did it."

Amaya's face became a shade darker, as she said, "But I'm the one who let her come down here."

Aneko raised an eyebrow at her as she smirked, "Riiiigghhht…"

Amaya's eyes went wider as Aneko smiled at Goku and Hakkai, who both were staring at the three new girls, "Well, if you want, let me lock the door and we'll meet you out front to take you to the inn and restaurant, ok?"

Goku nodded quickly grinning as Hakkai smiled asking, "Uh, one thing, is there a place to park there?"

Aneko frowned, "A place to park? No I don't think so…but if you want you can park in the alley next to here."

After thinking for a moment, Hakkai nodded his head slowly, "Yes, that would be wonderful. Thank you."

Aneko tossed the keys to Sanyu, "And since your in such a hurry to go eat, you can lock up after them, while I at least straighten up behind here."

Sanyu smiled, "Ok!"
