That was so not going to happen. There was no way in hell that Hakkai could convince me to act like one of them for a whole day.
Hakkai had this crazy idea. He thought that in order to stop the constant bickering, he would make us act like each other for a whole day. At first, Sanzo and Goku agreed with me, not going to happen, but then, Hakkai managed to convince Sanzo by stealing his beloved gun. Sanzo then took it upon himself to convince the monkey. I don't know, nor do I want to know, how he did it. So now, they were all trying to convince me to take part in the stupid plan.
It took a while, but after four hours of Goku's nagging, I was convinced. So for twenty-four hours, I had to act like Hakkai.
Easier said than done.
I don't know how he manages to do it everyday, but the man wakes up before the sun rises, just so that he can get chores done before the rest of us wake up. He cleans the common room, cleans the kitchen, cleans our laundry, cleans Hakaryuu then goes shopping and makes breakfast. He does this every freekin' day. He is the first to get up, and the last to go to sleep.
I had to do all this, and when the others woke, they didn't even say thanks. I felt like yelling at them, but, as I was supposed to be acting as Hakkai, I just smiled and joined them and ate.
Oh yeah, and did I forget to mention that the others had to act also? Goku had to act like Sanzo, Sanzo had to act like me, and Hakkai had to act like Goku. It was strange to watch Hakkai beg for food and Goku to be handling a gun. Sanzo was slouched on a chair, a cigarette in his mouth and a can of beer in his hand.
Hakaryuu seemed to know what was going on because he landed on my shoulder and was acting as though I was Hakkai.
"Goku, I was thinking, we should probably be leaving shortly." I said. Along with having to act like each other, we also had to take on each others responsibilities. Goku was, effectively our leader for the day. God help us all.
"Yeah." Goku agreed, picking up the news paper.
Hakkai looked at me with puppy dog eyes. "Ne, Gojyo, can we have some more pancakes later?"
Damn he looked hot when he used that expression. "We'll see, Hakkai."
Soon later, we were all piled into Hakaryuu's jeep form. I was sat in the drivers seat, and Goku was beside me, still reading the paper. Behind me sat Sanzo, holding a can of beer, and beside him was Hakkai, looking out at the road ahead excitedly.
Everybody was staying in character. It was getting harder for everyone as the day continued. Goku was having trouble not asking for food, and I was having trouble not arguing with him. Sanzo looked really pissed and he kept looking at the gun in Goku's hands. Hakkai seemed to be the only one that wasn't struggling to remain in character.
"Goku, feed meeeeee!" He begged. Lazily, Goku aimed the gun behind him.
"Do you want to die?" He asked.
"No." Was the simple reply. I tried to come up with something Hakkai like to say, but nothing came to mind. Hell, I'm not as smart as him. So I sat there in silence, until.
"Shit, I can't do this." The words left my mouth before I could stop them. I didn't take them back, there was no point, they were true.
Hakkai smiled softly, back to his usual self. "Then, I guess it's over."
"Thank the gods." Sanzo sighed before turning to Goku. "Give me my gun."
Sadly, the monkey handed it over. "Well," He said brightly. "It was fun while it lasted. Can we go eat now?"
