The Adventures of the Sanzo Party!
Disclaimer: I do not own Saiyuki or any of the characters…and all that. This is my first real fan-fic so please understand that I may be slow at first and not always the best. But I do so hope you enjoy!
"So, whose house are we going to again?" Gojyo asked Hakkai.
"The house of the old woman that gave me Hakaryu, she really is a sweet old woman. She raises dragons, like Hakaryu, for a living. You will just lover her!" Hakkai said sweetly.
"Uhhhh, how much longer until we get there Hakkai?" Goku said in a whiney voice.
"We're almost there, just a few more miles."
"But I'm so hungry."
"Just shut-up you damn monkey!" Sanzo said angrily, turning around and hitting Goku with his paper fan.
"Ah, here we are!" Hakkai said, breaking up the madness in the back. The three looked up, and what they saw amazed them. A giant mansion stood in front of them, with a large marble stair case, with columns lining them. The stairs lead to the front door, which was at least fifteen feet tall, and was made of, what looked like, oak. The rest of the house was also white. Hakkai jumped out of Hakaryu and yelled at the house, "Grandma Shun! We have arrived!" The Sanzo party stood in silence for a few moments, and then the front doors creaked open. Hakkai started up the stairs, then turned around and said, "Aren't you coming? There is food, beer, and smokes inside after all." The three items caught their attention, so they followed Hakkai. When they reached the top of the stairs a short old woman, barely four foot, stood at the front door. She had the greyest of grey hair, which was pulled back into a tight bun. She seemed to always be squinting (due to the fact that she refused to wear her glasses) and had a pipe in her mouth. She wore a green dress with a white robe around it. The old woman approached Hakkai, and then said, "Kai-Chan! You have finally come to visit me! It's been too long. You must be Goku-Chan!" she said turning to Goku, pinching his right cheek. "Ooooooo, you are a cutie, aren't you. You can just call me Granny Shun, okay?" Without waiting for a response, she moved onto Gojyo. "Hmmmm," she said rubbing her chin, "red hair and eyes, antenna's, you must be Gojyo-Chan! You're so handsome, on wonder you are such a ladies man!" She then turned to the last person. "And you have to be Sanzo-Chan; I could tell it was you right away, because of your angry expression and droopy eyes." she stated without any fear. Sanzo, Gojyo and Goku stood there in utter shock. This was the first time they had met this woman, and yet she knew about them, and their names.
"So, how did you know who we were Granny Shun?" Goku asked.
"Oh, that's easy! Kai-Chan told me all about his dear friends, and how much looking after they needed. From what he had told me, I was expecting children not full grown men. But I'm glad to have met you and have you stay in out house. So why exactly have you come to visit. I know you better than to just stop out of the goodness of your heart Kai-Chan.
"Well," Hakkai started "I thought that this would be a great place to rest, seeing that Hakaryu has not been feeling to well lately. We really need him at his best these days, and you're right on our way to India!"
"Very well then, I will care for Hakaryu and my grandson will take you to your rooms, Cliffy-Chan!" Shortly after the yell, the door creaked open. A small skinny, auburn colored (slightly balding) hair man stepped out. He wore thick round glasses and had tiny freckles al around his face. He wore yellow rubber gloves, a blue button up shirt, high-water khaki pants and hospital slippers. Around his waist he wore a belt with disinfectants spray on the right and left sides. Goku smelled food, so he made a move to go into the house. He only made it one step in before he heard, "Oh no, GERMS! Get them away, get them away, get them away!" Cliff yelled at Goku. He then shouted, "Stay still!" He took both cans of disinfectant and sprayed Goku until he was soaked in it. Gojyo couldn't help but laugh at the now germ free monkey.
"Ick! This stuff smells horrible! What is it?" Goku asked Cliff.
"It's disinfectant spray, you can now come into the house. By the way, I'm Cliff, or as Grandma likes to call me 'Cliffy-chan' either works for me." Goku nodded, and then stepped into the beautiful house. As Goku looked around, he noticed many different items, like a suit of armor, giant paintings and sculptures.
"Okay, if you want to even come in, you will have to be disinfected." Cliff said to the three remaining outside. Hakkai stepped up and got sprayed down, without making a fuss. When it came to the other two, they were a completely different story.
"You go first; I mean you know holiness before beauty after all." Gojyo said in a very high strung way.
"Like hell you have any beauty, and you go first!" Sanzo said angrily.
"Why should I go first!"
"Because I said so!"
"Well…I…I…I….shit, fine I'll go." Gojyo finally said. Gojyo got sprayed down then said, "God, I feel like I need a shower. Where can I take one 'Cliffy-chan'?"
"As soon as I spry him down and show you to your rooms, you can take one." Cliff said, slowly approaching Sanzo.
"You stay the hell away from me with that stuff!" Sanzo tried to make a run for it, but was caught and held down by Hakkai and Gojyo. With yells of cursing escaping from his mouth, Cliff sprayed Sanzo down. When they all got back up on their feet Cliff said, "Okay, now to show you to your rooms. Follow me, and don't fall behind." The four followed Cliff up and down stairs, and around many corners. They all lost track of where they were, so long as they got to their rooms though, they didn't care. Cliff finally came to a stop. "Okay, Goku and Sanzo, this will be your room." Then Cliff pointed across the hall saying, "And this will be your room Gojyo and Hakkai. Okay, I will leave you guys for a few hours, and will call for you when dinner is ready at 7:00pm." Cliff gave a nod to each of them then headed back the opposite direction.
"Hakkai, I want the shower first." Gojyo shouted, running into the room to find the bathroom. Hakkai chuckled then said, "That's fine, we'll meet you out here in a bit then Sanzo." Hakkai said.
"Ch. Whatever, come on monkey, lets get you cleaned up." Sanzo muttered.
"Uhhh, okay. But what about food, I'm sooo hungry." Goku whined, being pulled into the room by Sanzo.
"Here's the deal, when we both get cleaned up, I'll take you down for a snack before dinner, okay?"
"Fine." Goku said, already taking his shirt off, and running into the bathroom.
"You know Sanzo; those were our only pair of clean clothes. We'll have to go find a laundry room before dinner so we can wash our clothes."
"Ya, whatever, just get into the shower!"
"Alright, alright, alright."
Back at Gojyo and Hakkai's room they noticed the predicament also.
"So, are we going to venture out in just towels?" Gojyo asked, already being done with his shower and a towel around is waist, standing at the door talking through it to Hakkai.
"Well, I suppose so, seeing that we have no other choice." Gojyo gave a sigh and said, "Well hurry up, so we can find a wash room before dinner. I don't want to go like this." At that moment Hakkai came out of the steamy bathroom, wearing his towel around his waist.
"Boy, don't you look sexy." Gojyo said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Ha, ha, ha come on, let's get a move on." The two left the room, and knocked on the door across the way. Goku came to answer the door, also in a towel.
"I see you guys also don't have a change of clothes. Sanzo is almost done, are we going to go and find a laundry room?" Goku asked.
"Yes, hopefully we can find one; I think I know where one is." Hakkai said, scratching his head.
"Great! Oh, Sanzo's done, let's get going then." Goku said excitedly. The four men came out into the hall with nothing but towels around their waists, and hair still wet. The towels were color coded, Sanzo had a purple towel, Goku had a yellow one, Gojyo had a red one and Hakkai had a green towel. The guys stopped when they came to the first tee.
"Okay, I believe we need to go right." Hakkai said in an unsure voice. So the men went right and then came to another tee.
"Now we need to go left." They continued on, with not one laundry room in sight.
"How 'bout we go left?" Hakkai asked, they all agreed and went left. After ten minutes of going left, right, left and right. Goku finally stopped and said,
"Ummm, Hakkai, we have passed this painting before, three times. Where is the wash room?" Goku asked, questioning Hakkai's directions.
"Oh dear, I believe we are now officially lost. I'm sorry." Hakkai said timidly.
"You have got to be shitting me, your kidding, right Hakkai? This is just one big joke." Gojyo said.
"I'm afraid not Gojyo, I'm sorry." Hakkai said again.
"Great and all we have are these towels." Sanzo said in an irritated voice, pulling at his towel.
"Sanzo, I'm really hungry. Where is all the food?" Goku asked. The Sanzo party was now lost, inside the house of Granny Shun.
