Pairings: so far…Sanzo/Goku, hints of Gojyo/Hakkai
"Three rooms".
Son Goku looked up at his guardian, his master, and his lover.
Genjo Sanzo.
He felt a certain pain deep in his heart, for he knew that they would not be sharing rooms tonight. He was sure of that, since Hakkai and Gojyo had already taken their room key from the innkeeper and were currently on their way to their said room.
So Sanzo wanted to be alone tonight.
He felt pained, yes, and yet… he felt somewhat relieved.
Relieved because it was raining, and he had a certain phobia of being in the same room as Sanzo when it was raining. Goku had a painful memory of that already. Sanzo had said hurtful words, when all Goku wanted to do was take care of him. Goku had been worried, but it seemed that Genjo Sanzo, Highest-Ranking priest of Togenkyo, did not like being fussed over, especially not when he was sick. No siree, that made him look weak. And Genjo Sanzo wasn'tweak.
That cruel day, Goku had felt as if his heart was being sliced as he heard Sanzo's harsh words. He had then run away, only to be captured by none other than Homura Taishi, a fighting god whom had made his intentions of wanting Goku quite clear.
Thankfully, Homura had released him, even though the reason was still unclear to him, Goku. He still thought about it, sometimes, but then Sanzo would come and hit him with the harisen and tell him to stop being such an idiot. Goku would then snap out of his stream of thoughts and grin up at Sanzo...just before jumping up and circling his arms around Sanzo's neck. No, Sanzo wouldn't throw him off, not before hugging him back and murmuring 'bakasaru', anyway.
So Goku trudged to his own room, the room where he would be sleeping alone.
/ Snap out of it, Goku! You've slept alone before! Stop being such a drama queen! /
/ I'm not being a drama queen! It's just that- /
BANG!
Goku was once again jolted out of his thoughts when Sanzo had deliberately slammed his own room door.
/ Sheesh! I didn't even get to say good night! /
/ It's raining, for crying out loud! It won't be a 'good' night! /
/ Yeah, yeah, I know…/
Goku surveyed his room. It wasn't much, nothing out of the extraordinary, a four-poster bed with a night lamp, a small dresser, and a cupboard at the other side of the room. It even had a small bathroom. Goku changed into his sweatpants and a white T-shirt. He yawned, and then headed to the bathroom to splash some water on his face. The water felt cool, and refreshing, so he splashed some more.
Wait. What was that?
Goku snapped his head up, and glanced around his room again. He was sure that he felt something. His gaze traveled to the open window at the left-hand side of the room.
/ Probably just the wind, Goku. Nothing to worry about. /But he certain that it wasn't the wind…no, the wind did not feel like that. The wind does not caress your body in thatway, nor does the wind make your bone chill and your heart clench.
/ Maybe it does, ya know, on rainy nights? /
/ Yeah, it is kinda cold outside. Didn't Hakkai say so himself? /
/ Yeah! Then Gojyo had suggested that he warmed Hakkai up a bit, which got him a nice fat lump on the head, 'cause Sanzo said that they were 'embarrassing' him. /
Goku sniggered, and made his way to shut the window.
/ Funny, though, the wind isn't even blowing this way, or else the whole room would be soaked with rain. /
/ Let's just stop it with the wind, okay?! /
/ Okay, okay, don't have to get all uppity … /
/ Still, you wouldhave liked the chance to go running to Sanzo's room, wouldn't ya? /
/ That is so not true! Sanzo is probably in such a foul mood, that he would shoot me before I even knock on his door! /
/ Then don't knock…you've done it before…/
/ Shut up! That is so not the point! /
/ Goku, Goku, are you telling yourself to shut up? /
/ Grr…/
Just then a rumbling sound could be heard. Goku's first instinct was of course to look down at his stomach.
Nope, it wasn't him,his stomach was content after devouring almost everything on the menu at the restaurant earlier.
/ It's just thunder, idiot. Trying to find yet another reason to go get Sanzo? To tell him you're hungry? /
/ Shut up! I was just checking to make sure! /
/ Yeah, right. /
At that moment Goku realized that he was arguing with himself. Again.
/ on…you were just feeling lonely, that's all. Who else better to keep you company but yourself? /
/ Sanzo, for one…/
/ But Sanzo doesn't even say anything! /
/ Yeah, but he holds me close! And he kisses me gently! Especially when I have those nightmares!
/ Hmm…can't argue with that.. /
So Goku climbed onto his bed, and curled up in the not-so-thick blanketthe inn had provided. He closed his eyes, and wondered what Sanzo was doing in his own room…
/ He's probably just smoking, he always does that. You've seen him before, at the temple. Before you get chased out. /
/ Why, though? Why does he get all angry and even more cold on rainy nights? What had happened to him? /
/ Yeah, the rain isn't all that bad…you've played in it before.. /
/ Maybe someday he'll tell me. /
/ Yeah. Someday. /
/ Wait, does that mean he doesn't trust you now? Trust you enough to share his secrets? What if he never trusts you? /
/ I don't care! As long as I would be able to love him, it won't matter if Sanzo doesn't feel the same! /
And so it went on. The battle inside his head was enough to give him a migraine. But Son Goku wasn't a type of person to get migraines. No, he was always a happy chap, leading a simple life without wasting time complicating things. Nope, migraines and headaches from thinking too much were for people like Sanzo, and maybe Hakkai. He wondered for a moment if Gojyo was capable of having migraines. Nah, the kappa would be too busy thinking up perverted things so that he and Hakkai could enjoy themselves later at night when they thought nobody was listening. Goku didn't think it was possible to get even a mild headache from thinking like Gojyo.
/ Would you stop it with the migraines already? Geez…/
Here we go again….
He desperately tried to think of other things which did not concern a certain golden haired monk with beautiful eyes of amethyst.
Goku remembered an incident back at Chang An, when a merchant had brought crystals to sell, and Goku had ooohed and aaahed at the many stones. He then spotted an amethyst at the end of the wide range of crystals, and in his excitement he pointed it out to Sanzo. So beautiful, he had said, just like your eyes, Sanzo.
He didn't expect Sanzo to blush, really, he didn't. And he didn't expect the other monks to stare, but they did. Well, one thing was for sure. He did expect the harisen to come down upon his head, but alas, he was not fast enough to get away from it.
Goku winced at the memory. The youkai that they fought almost everyday had always feared him when they saw his agility, his power, his stamina, and his speed. Yet Sanzo was always faster when it came to the harisen.
/ It's the same when Sanzo is about to kiss you. You could have a hunch that it was going to happen, just a small hunch, but when it does happen, it's like totally unexpected. /
/ Yeah, it's like, he moves so fast that you never see it coming until his mouth is hot on your own. /
Goku felt a blush rise up to his cheeks. When was the last time they shared a kiss? It seemed like forever since Sanzo had held him close and kissed him silly.
So lost in his thoughts was Goku that he did not notice the ice cold chill that had crept in the room. Nor did he notice tendrils of ghostly white fog appear suddenly and swirl around his four poster bed.
/ It's so cold…wait, didn't I just shut the windows?/
Goku suddenly sat up straight in his bed, looking around his room. It was then when he heard it.
Give yourself up to me, Son Goku…"What the-"
Come to me… Be with me…I'll protect you…Sudden realization smacked Goku right in his face. There was only one person that he knew of who would make such an offer.
"Homura".
Goku felt himself being frozen on his bed, unable to move. The tendrils of white were circling his bed, coming closer by the second. Goku started to panic.
/ Leave me alone!! I don't want to go with you!! /
Why not, Son Goku? What do you have here? Nothing. But with me…things would be different. With me, you'll have everything.
Goku was really frantic by now. He couldn't move. He was sure that when the white fog reached him, he would he helpless. Homura would bring him back to Konran Tower, and only god knows what might happen to him there. Of course, he was already helpless now. He couldn't even scream for help. He shut his eyes tight as crystal droplets fell from his eyes and down his smooth face.
/ Sanzo…/
