thoughts

A/N: This is my first chappie of my first story, so tell me what ya think! go ahead!

Gojyo smirked, then grinned.

/Heh. Never would I thought I'd be doing this.../

He looked down at the head in his lap, shaking his own head.

/This is really crazy./

The man who had his head placed gently in Gojyo's lap looked up, smiling slightly. "Gojyo..." Gojyo looked down at him and couldn't stop the smile that appeared on his own face, stretching at his lips. /No one has made me feel this way before. So warm...as though I have a place where I belong...and someone to love../

"Yeah?" he asked as casually as he could, putting a cigarette to his lips and taking a puff. "What?"

The man made a face at Gojyo. "Gojyo...you need to quit that habit. It'll kill you one day."

"Yeah yeah. You sound too much like a mom. Sheesh. Just give it a rest already." Gojyo's words sounded harsh, but he said it with a grin.

The man continued to grin, smiling the most beautiful smile possible. "I'd hate for you to think of me like that, Gojyo-san. After all we've been through...I'd think you'd have a higher opinion of me."

At this, Gojyo laughed, and the man sat up. "I guess you're right. You know that I love you, and I always will." Gojyo spoke quietly, muttering the words as he wrapped his arms tightly around the other male, burying his face in the man's chest and breathing in the nice scent of aftershave he wore. "I'll always love you..."

"Gah! Stupid monkey! This is all your fault!"

"It is not! Shut up! Stupid pervy kappa! It's YOUR fault, you're the one who hit me!"

"I wouldn't have hit you if you hadn't been so damn annoying!"

And that was about the point when violence came into the argument, and both Goku and Gojyo began hitting and kicking each other, angrily grumbling and growling.

Sanzo sat up front, eyebrow twitching in barely concealed rage. The sun shone off his golden hair, and his bright purple eyes flashed in rage. "Can't you two shut your idiotic mouths for even a moment! I can't stand your constant bickering!" The folds of his robe crinkled as the last of his remaining patience snapped, and he quickly whipped out his fan, clashing it down on both Gojyo and Goku's heads, smirking at the results.

Gojyo and Goku sat sullen and silent in the back. Gojyo ran a hair through his long, blood red hair and sighed, narrowing his crimson eyes as he pulled out a cigarette and lit up, puffing in once before leaning back in the rumbling Jeep they were currently travelling in. Goku glared at him, but he just ignored the monkey King, who continued to try and burn a hole with his gaze through the half-demon.

Goku placed a hand on his rumbling stomach, face droopy in unhappiness. His wild brown hair only stood up more from Gojyo rubbing his hands through it, and his puppy, chocolate colored eyes were pierced with sadness. "Saaaaanzo! I'm really, really, REALLY hungry. Sanzo, I'm hungry!"

Sanzo sighed heavily, eye twitching once more. "We just stopped. Two hours ago."

"I know, Sanzo, but that was two hours ago!"

"You can wait."

"Saaaaaaaaanzo! I can't wait! That's the problem!" Goku leaned forward, giving his best I'm-pathetic-please-pity-me look. Sanzo, however, had become oblivious to this certain attack, and completely ignored him, so Goku turned to his last resort-Hakkai.

"Haaaakkaaaai! I'm hungry."

Hakkai smiled slightly, taking a peek back at Goku, who tried his best to look as pathetic as possible. "Sanzo...maybe we should stop and eat. The sun is going to be setting soon anyway."

Sanzo shook his head. "No. Give in to him now and he'll expect to get his way all the time."

Gojyo smirked, also leaning forward to where his head was next to Hakkai's. "Aw. Is the brutal, bloodthirsty killer priest developing maternal instincts? How sweet."

"Say that again, and die."

Hakkai smiled at this now-familiar threat, emerald eyes sparkling happily. His dark brown hair was quite neat and tidy, unlike some of his companions' dishevelled appearance, and his monocle reflected the sun's fading light. "Come on, Sanzo. It won't hurt just this once to stop. Really. There's even a town coming up, so it's not like it's out of the way."

Sanzo shrugged, suddenly disinterested in the whole topic. "Do what you want, then."

And it was decided. They checked into a nice hotel, and the four of them shared two rooms. Unlike usual, however, Goku absolutely and completely refused to sleep with Gojyo (that was normal) but...Sanzo accepted Goku's request to stay with him (not so normal)

"Ha. So I guess we're roomies, huh?''

Gojyo threw his bag down on the ground and flopped on his bed, arms hanging off the side. "Finally. I thought Sanzo would have said no. Oh well." The half-demon lit up another cigarette and exhaled, watching the face Hakkai made with relish.

"Really, Gojyo. You should cut back. Those things will kill you. You...smoke too much." Hakkai frowned, setting his bag down and letting Hakuryu, the little white dragon, fly onto his shoulder.

"You don't have to tell me all the time. I'll quit sometime soon..."

Hakkai smiled slightly at this statement. "And you don't have to tell me that every day, either. I know you just say that to make me happy." he sat down quite close to Gojyo on the bed, and Gojyo sat up, smirking.

"Heh. I'd say just about anything to make you happy."

Hakkai felt Gojyo wrap his arm around him and he was pulled closer, which only made the gentle teacher's smile even brighter. "You'd say anything to make me happy, but would you DO anything?"

Gojyo raised an eyebrow in slight surprise. "Ooh. You're not the one to play like that." he smirked. "That's not to say I don't like it, though." He pushed Hakkai back slightly onto the bed, bent over him. Hakkai looked up with a sweet expression on his face, and Gojyo ran his finger along his shirt front, smiling as well. "When did I start playing for the other team..." he wondered aloud, but the only response he received from Hakkai was his ever-present, sometimes eerie smile.

"Come on, Gojyo. Don't you think we might get caught? Then what? I don't think they're so stupid they haven't realized anything..." Hakkai said quietly, eyes darting to the door as Gojyo bent down toward him, slender strands of red hair dancing on his cheek.

"Hakkai...we don't get a room too often to ourselves. Stop worrying and just enjoy the time we get." he murmured, locking lips with the demon. Hakkai shut his eyes, and far from arguing over the matter with Gojyo, he returned the kiss with one of his own, and Gojyo's lips, hell, his whole BODY tingled in excitement.

"See, Hakkai? There's nothing to worry about. If we start to get too loud...well, that's what the pillows are for."

"Pillows, huh?" a male voice said from the doorway, and the blood froze in Gojyo's veins.

SHIT! He had forgot to lock the door! How could he be so stupid! After all Hakkai's warnings, he had forgot to lock the damn door!

Hakkai's face mirrored Gojyo's horrified look, and they sat up to find Sanzo standing in the doorway.

Sanzo sighed, shaking his head. "Wow. You might as well announce it to the world, leaving the door unlocked like that. Makes me wonder why I have to keep that "secret."

"HEY! I didnt mean to! It was an acci-wait a minute. How did you know?" Gojyo said suspiciously, glaring at Hakkai, who now looked extremely nervous and fidgety.

"About that...when I said earlier that they couldn't be that clueless...I really meant it. I told Sanzo."

Gojyo put a hand to his head. "Hakkai! You TOLD him! Why don't we tell Goku while we're at it; hell, let's scream it from the mountains!"

Sanzo's smirk turned to a scowl. "I can keep a secret, moron. I've known for a month now."

Gojyo's fury once more turned on Hakkai. "That's how long this has been going on!"

Hakkai sweatdropped. "I had to tell someone, Gojyo. I couldn't just keep it to myself-Gojyo!"

Gojyo had stood, grabbing his bag. "On second thought, I think I'd rather share a room with monkey boy. I'd rather not stay with a homo."

Hakkai flinched as though he'd been slapped; each word had cut him like a knife, and he was powerless to stop Gojyo, who slammed the door behind him in frustration. "Gojyo...I'm...sorry." he whispered, lowering his eyes to the ground in sadness.
