The esteemed Genjo Sanzo lay on his back in the dark, listening to what was possibly the most annoying sound in history. The monkey was snoring.

"Bakasaru! If you don't stop snoring, I'm going to kill you." Sanzo ground out between clenched teeh.

"Hnn…" was all the response he received. Another snore cut through the air.

The blond priest ground the heel of his right hand into his forehead in frustration. It was the middle of the night, and he needed his sleep, damn it. He began to mumble his murderous intentions.

"I could just shoot him in the head. Or I could shoot him in the thigh, and let him bleed out. Maybe the gut, or the upper arm. I could get a knife and stab him, or bury him up to his neck in the desert and leave him there, or suffocate him with a pillow. He'd throw me off easy, if I did that. Okay, a bag over the head; a garrote, maybe? I could drag him out to the river and drown him, or wrap a rope around his neck and throw him off a cliff, or some subtle poison might work. I could jam a chopstick up his nose, into his brain, yeah. I like that one. I guess going in through the ear might work, too. I could tie a rope to him, and to the bumper of the jeep, then push him out once we get moving. Would the harisen be enough to beat him to death? Could slit his throat, or break his neck. If I punched him hard enough in the chest, that might do it. Could bash his head in with a rock, or maybe setting him on fire would be fun. If I had a syringe, I could put an air bubble into his vein; or behead him. Dismemberment, with resulting exsanguination? Maybe I could have him drawn and quartered. Hakkai probably wouldn't chi him for me. Couldn't control the shaku-jou. Maybe shove his nose up into his brain, or flay him, or boil him, or tell some crazed doctor that he wants to donate all his organs right now. Could run him over in the jeep, or tie him to train tracks, or hang him upside down until his brain explodes. Blow him up, lock him in a freezer overnight, or shove bamboo shoots into his eyeballs, pour uncooked rice down his throat, then force him to drink LOTS of water, tie his face into Gojyo's armpit for a week, or feed him to hungry tigers…"

Another snore rent the air, and Sanzo lost it. He jumped out of his bed, onto Goku's straddling him and shoving the gun under his chin.

"I'm going to fucking kill you! I'm going to rip your fucking heart out, dig your liver out with a spoon, shove an ice pick in your eye! Murder! Death! Kill! I'll destroy you!!! Die!!!" Sanzo's breath came in gasps.

Goku muttered something, and snored.
