I AM BACK!
After months of being M.I.A from the Fanfiction community, I've finally thought of a new storyline to the Saiyuki boys. This is a modernized fic, and includes excitement, mystery, and a hint of love.
I hope you enjoy this new story! Reviews are greatly appreciated!
RE-EDITED. Newer and better!
DISCLAIMER: Saiyuki boys are not mine!
Chapter One: The First Meeting
------
The stale room that Sanzo was in sickened him. The brown office chair was tattered and torn, sometimes even burned from Sanzo's cigarette butts. Sanzo stood by the window and placed his palm on the cold glass… The rain splattered hard on the window, beating against Sanzo's palm.
"Cursed weather…" Sanzo muttered angrily while reaching out for his lighter on the table.
Dressed in a black suit, a blue tie and polished black shoes, Sanzo looked very professional indeed. His office was also a dull and boring one. He hardly put up any decorations except for a few paintings, and it was just the white painted wall and sleek black furniture. There was also a vase with a single yellow rose that his secretary put just to liven the place up.
Sanzo lit the cigarette and continued scribbling into his work furiously. He was never always the angry person… It was just him; after keeping all his emotions inside of him after all these years…
A knock on the door sounded.
"Come in, and shut that door right after you!" Sanzo bellowed.
Sanzo didn't face up, but instead continued working. After hearing footsteps enter and a voice clearing his throat, Sanzo threw a casual 'what do you want,' before looking up to see who it was. A shocked expression spread across his face.
"Oh, good afternoon Sir, nice weather, isn't it?" Sanzo murmured the fastest thing he could say to save himself.
Standing in front of him was the company's director, followed by several bodyguards and a petite young boy with short brown hair. He looked peculiar and very young, not even the right age to work. But still, he was wearing a dark blue suit with a red tie that made him look like some genius student. Sanzo stared at this odd boy, who spoke no words.
"Not the best weather, if I do say so myself. I want to introduce you to Son Goku," The director said as he gave Goku a little push forward. "He will be working as your assistant from now onwards, aiding you in the reports and everything else."
Goku was spaced out, his large eyes staring blankly ahead, not looking at Sanzo, not looking at anyone, and just blankly staring. To Sanzo, Goku looked like a little kid sent from outer space.
"B-But I never asked for an assistant! Sir, you're too kind, I can't accept this!" Sanzo pretended as he gave a huge grin.
Inside his heart, Sanzo was cursing and swearing horrendously, hoping for the director to bring this little twerp away from him. He worked alone, he always did, and that wasn't going to change just because of some little boy. Plus, he hated pretending to be nice and humble towards the director. This was not who he was, and he hated being nice.
"I've made up my mind, Sanzo. Goku will work with you from this day onwards. He will be using the office next to yours. You can just halve whatever work you have with him." The director said in a commanding voice, sounding irritated.
"Just a question sir- Will my pay be halved as well?" Sanzo muttered reluctantly as he glared at the young brown eyed boy.
"Oh most definitely not, but with an assistant, the company expects twice, or even thrice the amount of work to be completed. Have a good day!"
With those words, the company director guided Goku to sit at Sanzo's black sofa, and left with his comrade of bodyguards, slamming Sanzo's door behind them. Once they've left, Sanzo angrily slammed his fist onto the table and picked up another cigarette and smoked puff after puff.
Finally, Sanzo settled down and sat a chair away from Goku, who was looking at his surroundings blankly, once again. He examined Goku's vacant face, which doesn't seem to respond to Sanzo's stares or glares.
"So, what do you want, now?" Sanzo asked bluntly, not knowing what else to say without being too mean or too nice.
Goku turned his head slowly and examined Sanzo's face.
"I-I'm hungry," said the nonchalant new worker.
Sanzo looked at him with a face full of utter disbelief.
----------
The new worker seemed to be full of energy just after stuffing his face full of food. With a chicken leg in his right hand, and a buttered corn cob on the other, Goku's eyes lit up as he devoured ferociously into his food.
"Yum… Best food I've had all year… This chicken is indescribable!" Goku exclaimed within his chewing of food.
Sanzo smoked a cigarette while watching Goku tear into his food, and slurped his drink thirstily. He only paid for his food after realizing that Goku had no money of his own. After an hour of eating, Goku still had the cheek to ask for more.
"Sanzo… I've not tried that kebab! Can I have it, please?"
"Jesus Christ! You've eaten fifty dollars worth, and you're still not full! God, if the director weren't in your favor, I would never do this for you!" Sanzo exclaimed loudly.
Goku's face was indifferent, and he continued smiling as Sanzo bought 2 kebabs from the store. As Goku chewed his food, Sanzo thought about what kind of food Goku ate, since he seemed to have never eaten these foods before.
"Oh delicious, I can't believe I missed out on all these great food..."
"Why haven't you eaten all these before?" Sanzo asked straightforwardly.
"Oh they kept me- I mean, I was in another country before I moved here. They hardly had food like these." Goku replied quickly.
Sanzo thought that Goku replied weirdly and had his suspicions, but moved it to the back of his head soon after smoking a cigarette and having a beer.
The next few days at work were a breeze for Sanzo. Goku was an incredibly efficient worker. He read through papers at great speed and typed reports which were full of detail, always gaining praise from the upper hands.
Sanzo, supposedly being Goku's 'mentor' earned great praise as well, and was relatively proud of him. Sanzo even had a raise and was praised earnestly for taking Goku in hand well.
The end of the week came, and the week's pay was up for collection. Sanzo handed Goku his pay and watched as Goku grabbed the green notes and examined them with wonder.
"T-This is money, isn't it?" Goku asked innocently as he peered up into Sanzo's face.
"Obviously, haven't you used money before?" Sanzo retorted with irritation.
"N-No… it's nothing… it's just… Thank you!" Goku exclaimed as he threw himself into a hug with Sanzo. Sanzo quickly pushed him away.
For some reason, there were tears of joy in Goku's eyes and Sanzo was extremely bewildered by this. He has never seen any of his staff happy to the extent of tearing while receiving their pay. He figured that Goku needed to unwind a little.
"Goku… Do you want to go to the nearby pub for a drink before heading home?"
"A drink, me? Of course I would!" Goku said excitedly while he pranced up and down like a little kid.
They entered the bar with much hassle about Goku's age, until Goku took out his identification card that proves that he's above eighteen. The bouncers gave a nod and chop after awhile and seemed to be really suspicious of Goku.
Sanzo gave a frustrated sigh after they finally passed through the bouncers.
"A chocolate margarita," Sanzo ordered as he sat in front of the bar counter.
He looked over to Goku who was looking around the pub as if he has never seen such a place before. The dance floor was full of people dancing and the loud music blasted into their ears. There were girls all dressed up with heavy makeup and friends sitting in booths laughing and talking loudly.
"This place looks pretty shady, don't you think?" Goku shouted to Sanzo.
Sanzo gave a shrug and wondered why Goku knew nothing about pubs while sipping his margarita. He ordered a beer for Goku, who spit it out after a sip.
"This damned thing is bloody bitter!" Goku commented loudly.
"Why, do you not like beer?" Sanzo asked.
"No- It's just that…" Goku failed to explain, and instead was looking at the gold-coloured liquid with utter disgust.
Irritated, Sanzo snatched the beer and drank it all in a gulp. He ordered a coke for Goku who sipped it happily as he watched the night scene go by. Everything seemed to move so fast paced in the clubs as Goku saw people dance and moving their bodies. Everyone moved differently and Goku was very intrigued.
As time passed, Goku began getting restless in his seat and he couldn't control his body anymore. His mind was taking over what his heart was saying. Goku leapt out of his seat and walked confidently towards the dance floor. He watched the lady beside him for a few minutes before throwing in a few moves of his own! Before long, he seemed to be taking over the dance floor with several girls dancing with him and cheering him on.
Shocked, but unable to control his laughter, Sanzo let out a chuckle before quickly composing himself as he watched the intriguing character dance wonderfully on the dance floor. Goku was twirling and grinding around and even caught Sanzo's eye and motioned him to join in. Sanzo merely gave a glare and a wave of hand.
"Jesus Christ… That kid is unstoppable!" Sanzo commented out loud as he watched Goku do moves he saw ages ago from the musical 'Grease' that the dance floor totally approved of.
The night finally ended with Goku singing to his newly-learnt tune of "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls and walking merrily, with a sudden act of breaking into a dance in the middle of the street. Without a doubt, many people stopped to stare, but Goku couldn't care less and continued moving his body to the beat of the song he was singing. Sanzo could only pretend that he didn't know this crazy kid.
"Need a lift?" Sanzo asked as they reached the car park and he unlocked his car.
That sentence seemed to break Goku away from his merriness and Goku's face suddenly turned glum. He faced away and looked pretty depressed. Goku fiddled with his pockets for a few seconds before looking up to answer Sanzo.
"Umm… No, thank you, it's quite alright. I live pretty nearby. Umm, have a good night then, I shall be making my way." With that, Goku sprinted off to the exit, leaving Sanzo and his black BMW sitting in the middle of the empty car park.
Sanzo thought it was odd that there were any living quarters here in this street since it was mostly offices and factories… The only people that lived around here were beggars and bums who had no homes. Could Goku live with one of them? He decided to brush that silly thought away and drive home.
Who knew, that a string of events were about to play up, because of a younger boy who entered his life abruptly without permission.
