Thoughts past a battle

Sighing as he ignored the bumpy ride in Hakaru Goku was unusually quite today so quite in fact that it had Gojyo and Hakkai worrying about him but neither would say anything until they reached the next town.

"Hakkai when will we reach the next town?" Sanzo asked with a hint of irritation in his voice.

"It should be only a few more miles Sanzo so don't worry." Hakkai smiled at Sanzo knowing full and well that the irritable monk wasn't nearly as fowl mouthed as he let on.

"Hey! Hakkai are there gonna be any hot chicks in this town? Cause I can't go another night without a pretty woman in my bed!" Gojyo questioned.

"I'm not a psychic Gojyo I can't possibly know what kind of women will be in this town."

Goku gazed out at the world passing by as the others conversation slid passed him as quickly as the world around him, he couldn't pay attention because his thoughts were all focused on Sanzo at that moment, now normally he wouldn't be one to worry but ever since the incident with Homaru Sanzo had acted even colder to him than he normally did.

Glancing at Goku Gojyo wondered what could possibly be so wrong that it would make the little monkey act like a depressed old man, snickering he suddenly pulled Goku into a head lock and gave him a rub on the head. "Hey monkey boy what's with long face you're an ape not a horse!"

Pulling away he took a swipe at Gojyo. "Leave me alone you damn water sprite! Can't a person think every now and then?"

"Sure a person can…but you're a monkey so you're not supposed to have too many thoughts you don't have the room to hold em!"

"You stupid cockroach! You're the one who doesn't have a single smart thought in his entire brain!" With that he lunged at Gojyo and they began fighting each other, it was going very well to until a gun shot rang through the air.

"Both of you shut up or I'll kill you!" Sanzo fired off another to shots to make his point crystal clear.

"Ha-ha and here I was beginning to think that today was going to be a nice quite day too." Hakkai laughed as Gojyo and Goku resumed their fight not a minute later, in a way it made him happy though since it meant Goku was acting like himself again and he suspected that's exactly what Gojyo had in mind all along.

Leaning back against the seat Sanzo rubbed his temples as he fought off the on coming headache due to that monkey's and water sprite's damn fighting, in truth though he was in a bad mood because ever since Homaru had been killed his little Goku seemed to have grown up a lot and that meant soon he wouldn't be looking to Sanzo as his sun much longer and though he would never openly admit it that thought frightened him more than death itself.

"Awe see the town is coming into view now Sanzo so rest easy we can get a good night's rest tonight." Hakkai had hoped that this news would ease the obviously angry monk but much to his dismay Sanzo merely grunted and closed his eyes.

Goku had been about to ask when they could eat but seeing the way Sanzo was acting he held hid tongue and leaned back against the seat again, watching as they came upon the town he sighed and hoped that Sanzo would feel better after a good night's sleep but he had the feeling that as long as he was around Sanzo would forever be in a bad mood.
