A/N: This was supposed to be my second one-shot piece...(not that good), but some people asked me to continue and I was curious, so here I am one month later, thinking... Anyway just as an explanation: I always pair Sanzo/Goku and Hakkai/Gojyo and I just was curious to test a different pairing, though I think it's quite unlikely (hence the stupid title)... ^_^ I'm not too pleased on how this came out though... Please RR!
Thoughts will be written in italics!
On to the story:
~~~~~
Goku picked up his resolve and headed towards Sanzo and Hakkai's room. He had argued with the monk and had been forced to share rooms with Gojyo, that ero kappa. Goku shivered when he thought back on how angry Sanzo had been, and tried to understand what he had done wrong.
~FLASHBACK~
Sanzo arrogantly lit a cigarette and puffed heavily, without deigning Goku a glance. Hakkai was in the other hotel room, and Gojyo was checking out the girls in the bar room.
Goku stared at Sanzo, hanging on to the monk's every movement, awed at the beautiful presence before him. He would never tire of looking at the sun-kissed hair, those amethyst eyes. He admired the muscles on Sanzo's chest that rippled as the monk leaned back in his chair, and blushed slightly.
"What?" Sanzo asked in an irritated tone, glaring over at the saru who was staring at him incessantly.
Goku avoided his gaze, "Nothing… nothing."
"Ch'. Bakazaru." Sanzo closed his eyes, then reopened them and stared at Goku. "Why the hell are you staring at me then?"
"Because you remind me of the sun. Because you are so beautiful." The words slipped out of Goku's mouth before he could stop them, and he cringed.
"You say I am your sun." It was a statement, not a question, but Goku nodded anyway. "You would do anything for me." Another nod. "You would… die for me." Goku nodded once more, and Sanzo was suddenly furious.
"What… Sanzo?" He blinked up at the man hesitantly.
Sanzo dropped his cigarette in disgust and ground it beneath his heel. He turned around and stared out the window. "You live off of my every breath and word… Get a fucking life, saru! How can you be such an idiot?" Sanzo whirled around to glare at him, "I would never die for you and I never asked any such thing from you!"
"But-"
"I don't need you." Sanzo snapped, "I don't need a useless weight that has no will of it's own."
Goku's eyes widened in shock as the monk's words slapped him across the face. "But Sanzo, I… I…"
Sanzo glared out the window, at the rain that was pouring down, and memories came back to stab him in the heart. "Get out."
Goku raced out the door, slammed it shut, and leaned against it heavily, "I love you…" But his words were only whispers, and no one could hear him say them.
~END FLASHBACK~
Goku walked quietly towards the door. He would apologize to Sanzo for whatever he had done and then he would tell him words that had rolled through his mind every time he had stared at the monk. Ai shiteiru…
When he reached the door, he paused and frowned at the muffled noises he heard. Pressing his ear against the door, he jerked back when he heard several moans.
"Sanzo!" Hakkai suddenly gasped, and a low chuckling could be heard. Trembling, Goku peered through the keyhole to catch sight of two bodies on top of each other, and he heard several more moans.
Goku backed away from the door, slamming in to the wall opposite it, and then he turned and ran back to his room, flinging himself upon the bed.
I don't need you! Sanzo had said. Of course he doesn't need me, Goku hugged himself tightly, he has Hakkai. Why would he ever want someone like me? After all, I'm a… heretic. Goku grimaced. Tears ran down his face in the same steady pattern that the rain fell outside, and Goku felt that the world was crying with him.
The doorknob turned softly and Gojyo entered, tiptoeing. The redhead froze when he caught sight of the saru, curled up in a ball and shaking. Sobs racked the small frame. Gojyo walked over and sat down next to Goku, patting the small back gently.
"What's wrong?" Goku sat up and tried to dry off his tears, and then he looked up into the concerned crimson eyes staring down at him.
"Nothing… nothing."
"Don't give me that!" Gojyo smiled teasingly, "Or else that'd mean you were crying over nothing!" When Goku refused to answer, Gojyo became serious once more, "Goku, tell me what's wrong."
The sound of his name coming from the kappa's mouth shook Goku, and he pondered briefly how long it had been since Gojyo had said his name. Then, he smiled bitterly, "What would you care?"
Gojyo wrapped an arm around the saru's slim waist, and with the other hand wiped off a few tears. He did not respond to the question but simply tried to comfort Goku with his presence. "Don't worry saru, it's going to be alright."
"ALRIGHT? IT'S GOING TO BE ALRIGHT?" Goku's outburst shocked Gojyo, and the saru continued in a calmer voice, "Of course it's going to be alright! I was about to tell Sanzo that I lov-" Goku took a deep breath, "… and Sanzo and Hakkai were-" He chocked.
"That bastard."
"He doesn't need me. He said so himself. I'm completely useless." Another tear raced down the young face, "I might as well be imprisoned for another 500 years… Nobody would care anyway."
Gojyo tightened his arm around saru's waist. "Don't you dare say that!" Goku looked up in surprise and Gojyo stared into the golden orbs sternly. Then he crushed his lips against Goku's, surprising them both. He pulled away and blinked. "I think… I would care if you were gone."
Goku smiled gratefully up at the kappa, and his breath caught in his throat at what he saw.
Gojyo suddenly pinned Goku on to the bed and began to kiss him, deeply, passionately, tongue exploring every nook and cranny. Goku remained frozen for a few seconds, but the touch of Gojyo's hands on his bare flesh unleashed a wild feeling inside him. He tore at the kappa's clothes with a wild frenzy that astounded both of them, and when they were both naked he ran his hands over the creamy skin, in such contrast with his tanned body.
Gojyo left a trail of wet kisses along his neck, down to his shoulder, and then to his chest.
"Horny ero kappa…"
"Bakazaru…"
Somehow, those words, which had once been used with such vehemence, now seemed to be the sweetest words two lovers could exchange.

A/N: Hmm... it'd be cute if they were together but still... Sanzo is the one for Goku, in my opinion. Still no harm in experimenting... please read chapter 2 and tell me whether or not I should continue...
