Ch. 1: Love is not a victory march

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

The gang was stuck in this little town. He couldn't stand it personally, as Sanzo began to smoke a cigar. He inhaled the deadly smoke, of course not really caring at all, his blonde golden locks were blowing in the wind. His purple eyes looked out at the distance, this place was almost insane. There was nothing ever going on. This place was SO boring, but being on the track of those scrolls had really taken its toll on everyone. It seemed that the up ahead road had been littered with sandstorms and it seemed the dragon jeep wasn't going to drive in those, nor would Hakkai let it. That reminded Sanzo, he was getting mad at Hakkai's concern about him. While Goku's annoying cries for food never ceased, Sanzo could only think about what Hakkai had said to him the other day.

'Love is hard Sanzo, which is why you never try to fall for anyone, why you never put yourself out there, right? Well it seemed that you're a coward just like me.' spoke Hakkai's voice.

A coward? Fat chance, he clearly knew what he was doing was all. But the more he thought like this, the more he began to question himself. He wondered why he'd never thought of it before, it seemed that truly, he was just having trouble. He knew Goku was odd, he followed him everywhere, making sure Sanzo knew about his presence. He also clung to Sanzo like his life depended on it. He wondered at times if Goku did swing that way. After all, he never saw Goku actually fall for women. And if he did, Sanzo quickly chased them away, since they needed to focus on their objective. This made Sanzo question himself more. Hakkai ALWAYS could make Sanzo's mind reel, he could say one little thing and the world of balance would be a distant journey from Sanzo's reach. It seemed that nothing would ever be normal again. Of course right in the middle of this, Goku bound up to Sanzo and asked for food.

"Stupid Monkey, no way. We don't have the money, in fact we're lucky at this point that this town is so generous. The facts of it are, we may have to work here soon in order to live." Spoke Sanzo's deep voice.

"Awww, but Sanzo, I'm hungry! Please!" Spoke the whine of Goku's voice.

Sanzo mentally cursed himself, the facts of it were that the monkey never listened. And whenever he pouted like that, it drove Sanzo to do things he wouldn't normally do. He sighed and bought Goku a meat bun. It seemed they weren't running as low as Sanzo had thought, since he bought a pack of cigarettes, and smoked one. But after a few moments, he noticed Goku was staring at him.

"What?" He asked in an annoyed tone of voice.

"Sanzo...why don't you ever have any women like Gojyo?" Asked Goku's voice.

He mentally twitched, he'd never found women's company to be all that great, of course he'd never known why.

"Because I'm not a pervert like Gojyo. Now can we drop this?" asked Sanzo.

"Gojyo said it was because you liked men." spoke Goku's incessant voice.

Sanzo reminded himself to later on to kick that perverted Gojyo's ass. This was NOT something he wanted Goku asking him about.

"Let's just say I don't prefer either." spoke Sanzo's annoyed tone of voice.

"Oh...so then why do you always chase women away from me?" asked Goku's annoying voice.

"Just drop it! Seriously, you three have got to be the most annoying people I've ever met in my life!" screamed Sanzo.

Of course he immediately regretted it as Goku's eyes filled up with tears. He mentally cursed himself, the monkey was growing up, but at the same time, if he was going through anything, it was puberty. He ran off, and Sanzo mentally cursed himself as he walked after him.

"Sanzo...do you really feel that way?" asked Goku's very hiccuped voice.

"No stupid...I'm just not very good with anything right now." Spoke Sanzo's quiet voice.

"Yes you are Sanzo! You're then sun! You always shine brightly! And you make life worth living!" Spoke Goku's suddenly cheerful voice.

'Well at least he's happy.' thought Sanzo to himself. Little did he know things were about to change drastically.
