Hakkai's Office later that night:
"Did you speak with your son Dokugakuji?" Hakkai looks up from the pile of papers laying on top of his desk. After leaving Goku's room, he spoke to Dokugakuji telling him his decision to allow Goku to become Kougaiji's disciple in order for him to keep a close eye on Genjo Sanzo, and his desire to have General Kenren to be Goku's bodyguard.
"Yes, Sama. My son and your servant has agreed to become Goku-kun's bodyguard. He is delighted to be of service; however, he mentioned some disturbing news that may not bring any peace soon to you Hakkai-Sama." Dokugakuji bows as soon as he enters the room. It seems to him that Hakkai is back to his old self, confident and relax. Hakkai senses Dokugakuji's approach before he could reach the office's door.
"What news?" Hakkai moves away from his desk as soon as Dokugakuji enters the room. He stands at his usual place at the window. While Goku relishes sunrises, Hakkai loves nightfall especially when the moon is full like tonight.
"Goku-kun has claimed the human Genjo Sanzo as his property."
"What?" Hakkai makes a sudden turn about standing in front of Dokugakuji and holding him dangerously closed to his face from the seams of his white long coat.
"Son Goku bit the vampire slayer during the concert. Apparently, he grabbed him thinking it was a female and kissed him biting him on the lips during the kiss. Later, he was invited to Son Goku's dressing room along with the rest of the party which included my son, General Kenren, Kougaiji-sensei, Yaone, Kougaiji's current girlfriend and Lirin-chan, Kougaiji's little sister. It is a well known custom of Son Goku to kiss members of the audience and then to invite them to his dressing room; however, it is the first time we know of Goku claiming a human." Hakkai throws Dokugakuji's body to the floor as he moves furiously pacing the room.
Dokugakuji continues while he tries to maintain his cool. Hakkai is terrible upset. He understand his boss' anger in any case is his duty to inform Hakkai of all that goes on when vampires' activities are involve including those of half-breeds especially if Son Goku is involved. "Goku has never before feed on any one, vampire, human or half-breed if he had we'll have known by now."
Hakkai now understand his son quiet demeanor. Goku's eagerness to keep an eye on Genjo Sanzo, Hakkai suddenly stops back at the window and stroking the bridge of his nose asks, "How does this person look like?"
Dokugakuji seems a little confuse by the change on Hakkai but answers, "He has a slender frame, tall, blond hair, white skin, wears the typical Sanzo's attire and I think he has violet eyes or some sort of purple color eyes."
"Purple," Hakkai now smiles and then starts to laugh as he is reminded of the change of color on his son's room then the Merciful Goddess' words echo in his mind, "unless of course he is in love. It happens you know, Hakkai-sama even to the most powerful of vampires." Well that is life for you when you think you have everything figure it out, it throws you a curve ball and the game takes a new turn. So, Goku is in love with a vampire slayer never the less. He has already claimed the vampire slayer as his own and he will pretend at least to be interested on vampire affairs for awhile.
Dokugakuji looks at Hakkai unsure of what to think, has his boss lost his mind already?
"Don't look at me like that Dokugakuji. I have not lost my mind; at least not yet, the plans go as discussed. We are concentrating on finding Dr. Ni's hideout and getting rid of that pest for now. My son Goku can take care of the vampire slayer for us and if he wants him as his pet, well who am I to say no? He might be a dangerous pet but Goku seems to like to play with fire. Let's hope he does not burn to a crisp!" Dokugakuji and Hakkai began to discuss new strategies to locate the whereabouts of Dr. Ni secret laboratory.
Next Morning:
Sanzo and Lirin walk side by side. She is skipping steps and looking up at Sanzo from time to time. Sanzo only walks with his eyes half closed annoy because he has to take Lirin to school. Yaone is back at home nursing a cold and Kougaiji could not bring the brat because he got an urgent call from Goyjo to meet him at his office. So there is no one else to walk Lirin to school. "Whatever it is spilled it out? You're annoying me Lirin."
"Promised you're not going to hit me with that horrible harisen?"
"I promise you nothing. Just say it! I'm sure is something stupid."
Lirin looks up at Sanzo weary, "How does it feel?"
Sanzo opens his eyes and looks down at Lirin, "How does it feel what?"
Lirin sighs, "Been kissed by Goku-chan, what else?" Sanzo exasperates her; the monk can be so dense sometimes.
Sanzo bits his lips and snorts, "Don't know what you're talking about. All I remember from the whole ordeal is pain because the fucking monkey bit me. Then the noise, the whole thing is the most horrendous experience of my life."
Sanzo prefers not to discuss that ever since that fatal kiss he cannot stop thinking about Goku and that second sensuous kiss. It is such a strange feeling one he has not experience before. He has been so focus on killing vampires that he never it gave it a second thought to the whole human contact. His master used to tease him about how he looked like a beautiful girl and how one day he would fall in love with a boy. Sanzo always sneer at his master for his teasing and told him that he would die first before he would fall in love with any one especially another male. "Kouryuu, don't say such things because Buddha might hear you and as punishment make you fall in love with your worst enemy." Kouryuu was his master pet name for him then he would be lecture on the nature of love. "Love is the most natural thing in the world is how Buddha knows we are alive and in good spiritual health." Sanzo shakes away the images of his late master and turns to speak to Lirin, "We're here now don't be late for class. I'll pick you up right here in case Kougaiji can't come to pick you up."
Lirin smiles mischievously at Sanzo then adds, "You're such a liar Sanzo. I've hear you every night moaning Goku-chan's name." Then she runs inside the school before Sanzo has a chance to react and hit her with his harisen.
Sanzo only grunts, "You little brat!" But Lirin is already lost in the crowd with the rest of the school kids. Sanzo now seriously thinks about getting an apartment away from those freaks. It is such a hassle to live with half-breeds there is no secrets, no privacy. What else has that brat heard? Sanzo's face feels on fire as he thinks what he is doing every time he moans Goku's name. On his way back to Kougaiji's apartments he looks for any vacancies for single man; however, the prospects are not good.
He finally arrives at the house and finds Yaone and Kougaiji whispering to each other on the middle of the empty dojo. "I'm sorry. I did not mean to interrupt. I just came back from dropping Lirin at the school."
"Don't worry Sanzo! It is nothing personal we're just discussing the addition of another guest in our home." Kougaiji smiles as Yaone tries to hide her annoyance. Another guest means extra work for her and she already has her hands full with Kougaiji, Lirin, Goyjo, and Sanzo. It is not like her to complain but the new guest just happens to be someone important to the vampire nation and with Sanzo as their guest of honor, she just does not know if it is such a good idea.
"Oh! I see. Well, I don't want to be an imposition as a matter of fact; I look into some available apartments for single man on this area while I was coming back…" Sanzo is interrupted by Yaone, "You're not thinking on moving out Sanzo-sama." She looks at him with hurt eyes.
Sanzo feels a little throw back by Yaone's gaze, "Well, yes. I never intend to stay here. I had to admit is easier since, I can practice with Kougaiji at any time but it'll be best for me if I have my own place." He finishes a little uneasy. He never expected for Kougaiji or Yaone to look so hurt.
"Sanzo, I cannot force you to accept our hospitality. I'm sure our humble home is not what you're accustomed to but we look at you as part of our family." Kougaiji adds trying to keep his hurt away from his words.
"Kougaiji is not that. I, I…" Sanzo has no words and with an air of defeat adds, "I accept your hospitality. I'm honor to be part of your family."
Yaone sighs relief and looks back at Kougaiji with pleading eyes, he only adds with a smile, "I guess I just have to tell Goyjo that at this time we cannot extend our hospitality to his young charge."
Sanzo then adds a little surprise of himself, "Don't do it on my account, if I have to share a room with someone I don't mind."
"It's not that, we have plenty of empty rooms." Kougaiji now looks at Yaone lost for words. Yaone finishes, "Is that we know you don't like noise and well with another young person we are bound to have more noise than usual."
Sanzo smirks while adding, "Well, I'm sure I'll have plenty of use for my harisen. Training youngster to learn to be silent is my specialty."
At this everyone laughs, and then Sanzo asks really concern, "How is your cold Yaone?"
"I'm better Sanzo thanks for asking. I just need to make arrangements so the room is ready for our new guest. He arrives this afternoon." Yaone now moves away from Kougaiji to make sure everything is ready. Sanzo and Kougaiji then start to work on their own training. Sanzo offers to go and pick up Lirin since he sees how tired Yaone looks and Kougaiji is busy with his regular training classes.
Few minutes later,
"So a new guest, do you know who he is?" Lirin talks to Sanzo while she skips steps in front of him.
"No, and you better not make too much noise because I'm warning you. I'll kill you."
"You're so mean. Aren't Sanzo supposed to be compassionate priests? Where is your compassion?"
"Sanzo is supposed to train disciples into Buddha's path and learning to be silent is one of the virtues of a Buddha's disciple."
"I never asked to be a Buddha's disciple." Lirin adds sure that somehow Sanzo is abusing his power.
"Just the same if you don't want to feel my harisen then make sure the noise level is kept to a minimum." Sanzo says with finality. They arrive at their destination and each one goes to their rooms while Yaone is getting ready to serve lunch.
During Lunch Time,
Sanzo is smoking while reading the entertainment section of the newspaper. He almost choke on his cigarette smoke when he reads that Goku-chan is going on a hiatus from performing personal concerts because he is going to start training on martial arts under the tutelage of Kougaiji-sensei for his upcoming movie. "Sanzo, are you okay?" Lirin enters Sanzo's room and sees the blond monk chocking.
After a few more seconds, Sanzo is able to breathe correctly and adds, "Has your brother seen the paper?" Lirin now picks-up the newspaper and scans through the entertainment section then she screams at this Kougaiji and Yaone run inside the room to find a pale monk and a fainting Lirin, "What happened Sanzo?"
"Have you seen the paper?" Sanzo responds while lighting up another cigarette.
Kougaiji picks-up the newspaper while Yaone looks after Lirin, "There must be a mistake; I don't know anything about this." Kougaiji adds trying to figure it out how this mistake happened.
Goyjo strolls inside the room, "Why is everyone hiding on Sanzo's room?" But no one pays attention to him all eyes are fixed on the person coming behind Goyjo. Goku wears his school uniform black slacks, a white long-sleeves shirt, and black tie with black shoes. Goku also sports ears length hair cut with eye level long bangs and instead of a gold coronet. He wears three gold bar earrings on his left ear. A long silence fills the room, Sanzo takes one more drag from his cigarette then he breaks the silence, "You cut your hair."
"Yeah! You like it." Goku smiles broadly as he nervously passes his hand through his hair.
Sanzo gets up from where he is sitting and walks out of the room towards the dining room since it is obvious Lirin came to tell him lunch is serve, he snorts, "You still look like a monkey to me."
At this everyone begins to greet Goku and without any more ceremonies they all follow Sanzo towards the dining room to eat. While eating Lirin assaults Goku with a thousand and one questions, Yaone tries desperately to make sure Lirin does not pesters Goku too much. Goyjo fights with Goku for food and Sanzo only looks at the group irritated. Finally, Sanzo gets enough of the group and tries to get up from his usual spot; he is sandwich between Kougaiji and Goyjo. As he stands up, Goyjo hits the blonds' knees while trying to take away some meatballs from Goku. Sanzo is about to fall forward when Goku in one fluid movement scoops the blond in midair and safely takes him on his arms. Sanzo feels dizzy and somehow all he can see are Goku's golden eyes burning like blazing ambers. Sanzo blinks and growls "Put me down!"
"Sure!" Goku whispers into Sanzo's ears as he steadies Sanzo to stand straight away from the floor table.
Sanzo now takes his harisen out and hits Lirin, Goyjo and Goku, "Ouch! Why did you hit me? I save you."
"Because if you haven't been fighting with Goyjo in the first place this wouldn't happen," Sanzo evades Goku's intense gaze somehow it makes him feel funny.
"Why did you hit me? I was not doing anything." Lirin asks while trying to nurse her pain.
"I told you to keep the noise level down." Then looking at Goyjo Sanzo continues, "And you don't get me started. You should know better. I wonder how you ever became a General. I don't think is because your mature behavior." Goyjo only flinches away remembering his shattered skull. "I need some peace and quiet." Sanzo now looks at Kougaiji and Yaone who desperately try to hide their smiles, "I'll be on the meditation room." Sanzo now walks away trying to keep his composure.
Night Time,
Sanzo walks back to his room. The full moon is high on the sky and as he traverses the garden the moonlight illuminates the hidden figure of Goku standing behind one of the cherry blossoms, "Why are you hiding like a thieve?"
"I'm not hiding. I'm just waiting for you." Goku steps into Sanzo's path standing just in front of him.
"What do you want?" Sanzo asks unsure of why he feels so unsettle by Goku's intense gaze.
"You look more beautiful under the moonlight. Like a spirit or a heavenly creature, I'll say you look like a god, Sanzo."
"Don't be an idiot! I'm no God." Sanzo moves to the side to continue walking but Goku grabs him pulling him towards his body. Sanzo wakes up and finds himself settle on his bed.
During Dawn Hours,
Did he dream the whole thing? The last thing he remembers is walking back to his room from the meditation room. He stayed there the rest of the evening after the weirdness at the dining table. Then on his way back to his room, Goku steps into his path grabbing him on a tight grip. Goku forces his mouth open again Sanzo did not resist much. He wants; Sanzo craves for Goku's mouth after a few minutes of Goku's assault on his tender lips, Goku moves to keep kissing Sanzo's neck. Goku lingers on his jugular making Sanzo's blood boils to the point that he feels his blood exploding like a volcanic eruption. Then Goku throws him against a cherry blossom tree and with clumsy hands undoes his robes tearing at his undergarments. Goku's hands finally reach his skin at this point Sanzo feels his entire body on fire Goku keeps kissing every inch of his body until he reaches his throbbing member then the butterfly kisses turn into a sucking action. Goku mouth swallows Sanzo's hard penis the sucking action forces Sanzo to release his manhood spraying it inside Goku's hot mouth. Then Sanzo loses all senses until he wakes up now at his bed. Sanzo looks at the alarm clock it is almost five in the morning.
Sanzo looks around for his clothes and finds his black undergarments shredder on the floor, "So it was not a dream?"
Sanzo decides to go and take a shower while trying to figure it out what is that he feels for Goku. The kid makes him feel weird, his intense gaze causes Sanzo to feel daze, and somehow that he has lost his sense of telling time. Every time, Goku has kissed him or being around him Sanzo has felt like he has lost track of time. Finally, Sanzo gets out of the shower and dresses himself; he decides to go and to meditate. Meditation is the best way to clear one's mind and find solution to pressing questions. Sanzo walks across the garden when he sees the darken figure of Goku sitting on top of the building's roof. While the sky still is dark, the changing dark purple colors to pink and orange herald the approaching of dawn. "What the fuck are you doing there? You certainly are looking like a stupid monkey."
Without turning to look at him, Goku stares still fixed on the east horizon, "I'm waiting for the sunrise. I usually see it without any obstacles from my bed, but here in Kougaiji-sensei's place is sort of difficult."
"Tsz! Stupid monkey," Sanzo hisses continuing his walk towards the meditation room.
However, in an instant Goku is standing next to him, "How the hell do you did that?"
Grinning Goku answers, "I'm an expert on climbing."
"Sure you are that's all monkeys do all day. They climb trees hanging from branch to branch making noise." Sanzo tries to ignore Goku's presence but Goku keeps barring his way. "Aren't you supposed to be keeping guard for the sunrise?" Sanzo spats irritated.
"What is the sunrise compare with the burning sun in front of me?" Goku drips each word as he approaches Sanzo's quivering lips.
After a few seconds of delicious hot breath and tongue twisting kisses, "Aren't you suppose to be getting ready to go to school or something?"
"Yes, but school can wait. I need to have my fill of your delicious steaming hot kisses first."
After a few more seconds, Sanzo is able to push Goku away, "Enough! I'm not your fucking personal kissing booth. How old are you anyway? Twelve? Thirteen?"
"Eighteen! However, age is not a problem when you're in love."
"What the hell you know about love? Sanzo hisses trying to dispel the hazing sensation from his mind. "I certainly don't know anything about it and I'm sure a teen knows even less." Sanzo now is able to be in control of his own raging emotions, "Now get the hell out of my face before I hit you with my harisen." Goku flinches away as soon as he sees Sanzo's paper fan.
"Fine! I'm going but you cannot deny you desire me as much as I lust after you. So stop being such a fucking tight up ass monk and accept that you enjoy every minute I kiss you and last night was fucking great for both of us." Goku turns away from Sanzo and walks toward his own room.
"About last night…" Sanzo is about to add something else but he rather keeps it to himself. It is embarrassing enough that the kid is right about Sanzo enjoying each moment they have spend together, each kiss, each touch to add the fact that he is having problems keeping track of the time he has spend with him.
Later that afternoon:
Sanzo is in one of the dojo's private rooms practicing the new learn movements with his tessen when he becomes conscious of the lurking figure sitting in one of the far corners. "How long you've been there?"
"Long enough" Goku steps in front of Sanzo's line of vision as he approaches the blond with caution. Goku is tense he knows today is a pivotal point between him and Sanzo.
Sanzo again is mesmerized by Goku's golden eyes and before he could realize anything else Goku held him in his arms with a tight embrace while showering him with furious kisses. The sense of inevitability has Goku on edge so his kisses project his anxiety and fear. Sanzo is responding to each body movement matching it so Goku and he are but one body in a sensuous dance. "I love you no matter what happens just remember that I love you." Goku whispers into Sanzo's ears. "What?" Sanzo whispers back while kissing every inch of Goku's face and his hands are greedily outlining every contour of Goku's head. Then in a shock of realization Sanzo's fingers lingered on Goku's three gold bar earrings, "Vampire!"
Everything makes sense to Sanzo know, the lost of time, the haziness Goku is using compulsion on him. Only a pure blood vampire could have use compulsion on Sanzo since Sanzo carries fudas on his person to avoid being manipulated by half-breeds. It is hard for any human to avoid manipulation by compulsion from pure vampires; however, fudas were magical talismans created to be able to avoid compulsion from half-breeds. In a quick movement Sanzo separates from Goku's trembling body, and with another swift movement he swings open his tessen burying it deep into Goku's neck. Goku did not move or flinch away from Sanzo. He keeps his golden gaze fixed on the ice-cold amethysts while a pool of blood begins to form on the floor.
