Chapter 8
Rush
Ok, maybe she was imagining someone banging on her door. Hopefully she was imagining it because when Chelsea rolled over it was five thirty a.m.
"Get up! C'mon."
Chelsea threw the comforter off her body and rolled off the bed.
"Chelsea!"
The woman wrenched the door open, "Goku, it's the fucking ass crack of dawn! What the hell do you want?!"
The teen was bouncing excitedly on the balls of his feet, "SCHOOL!"
The woman ran a hand down her face as Goku proceeded to bang on the other doors. How did she forget his first day of High School?
"I aughta' kill him." Sanzo said as he glared at the teen, happily eating breakfast across from him.
Hakkai smiled as he set more food on the table. The man looked like a zombie, dead tired, "It's our own fault for forgetting his first day of school."
Chelsea sighed as Hakuryuu curled up in her lap, "True. But I mean come on, five-thirty?"
Hakkai put a hand on the teen's shoulder, "Goku maybe next time you can wait a little longer?"
The boy swallowed a mouthful of food, "Ok. Sorry Sanzo."
"Tch."
"You stupid monkey! You robbed me of an hour and a half of beauty sleep! I fucking hate you!" Gojyo yelled as he shoved the boy's face into his pancakes.
Chelsea raised a brow, "You look fine to me."
"Fine? Fine! I have bags under my eyes!"
"Shut that damn whining up you stupid kappa!"
Gojyo glared at Sanzo then sat down. Chelsea sighed and stood up, "Sanzo you have to come with me to take Goku to school."
"I'm not going anywhere."
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
Gojyo looked at Hakkai who just looked at him and shrugged. The redhead smirked, "But you're his daddy, you have to go." The man said with a huge smile on his face.
Sanzo growled and left the room. Chelsea chuckled, "And get dressed for work too!"
"Shut up!"
Hakkai started to clean off the table, "Chelsea, do you mind if I tag along?"
The woman offered him a warm smile, "No not at all."
Gojyo pouted, "I wanna go too."
The officer walked away and waved weakly, "Yeah yeah why not?"
"Well Goku, you ready?"
The boy peeked out of the car window, "Nope. I'll go to work with you and Sanzo."
Sanzo growled, "Monkey get out."
"I can't."
Chelsea sighed and got out of the car. The teen scrambled when she opened his door, "You're just nervous. C'mon."
"No." he whined.
Gojyo cracked his knuckles and got out of the car. "Alright monkey. Come here."
"No! Gojyo let go! LET GO!"
Hakkai frowned at the man as he walked into the school with the teen over his shoulder, "I'm afraid this embarrassment will scar poor Goku for life."
Sanzo grunted, "He'll be alright. It's good for him."
Chelsea looked at her cell phone as it rang, "Should I answer it?"
Hakkai smiled, "I believe you should."
"Hello?"
"Where the hell are you?!"
"Chief, your blood pressure…"
"I don't give a damn! You and Insei need to get your asses in here! NOW!"
The woman sighed as he hung up, "Well that was nice."
"Oh my! Gojyo!" Hakkai ran to the man's side as he exited the school. His entire face was beet red and he was sort of staring into space.
Jazz's ears perked up and the animal watched Gojyo curiously.
Sanzo raised a brow, "What the hell happened to you?"
"The principal. She…"
Chelsea smirked, "It's gonna be ok Gojyo. Get in the car."
The man did as he was told, dazed, "C-can I pick up the monkey…the principal…she…"
The female continued to laugh, "I know I know. Come on Gojyo."
Sanzo shook his head and entered the car. When he was settled he looked back at the school and frowned. He had never really left Goku alone before.
"We'll be back to get him at two fifteen." Chelsea said reassuringly.
"Hn."
As they pulled off Gojyo spotted the principal in one of the windows, "It's her! I want to say goodbye! Please!"
Chelsea sighed as she sat at her desk. Sanzo at his with his feet propped up. The woman smirked as Hakkai put and icepack on Gojyo's head, "So I'm guessing you've never been in love before?"
"That's what that shit was? Damn I didn't know what the hell was going on."
The woman chuckled, "You babbled the whole way here."
"And he can babble the whole way home." Sanzo growled. He growled again as a hand clapped down on his shoulder.
"I agree with you Insei." The fat man said seriously, "Hunter call them a cab!"
Chelsea shook her head as he walked away, "That man needs to lose a few pounds."
"I love to imagine what he would do if he heard you." A female voice said behind her.
The hazel-eyed woman smiled at her, "Sup hunter?"
"Nu…thin…"
Chelsea raised a brow and followed Hunter's gaze to Hakkai. She stood and rolled her eyes. Grabbing the smaller woman's hand and pulling her away, "Not again."
Hakkai smiled innocently.
Hunter kept trying to look over Chelsea, "Oh my god! Who the hell was that with the gorgeous green eyes?!"
"That is Hakkai." Chelsea said calmly.
"That man is a fucking god! He's beautiful! Chels let me talk to him."
Chelsea scoffed, "Who said you couldn't?"
The dark haired woman sprinted over to Hakkai and threw her long black curls over her shoulder. She smiled at him, her blue eyes sparkling, "Hi, I'm-"
"HUNTER!" the chief's big voice billowed through the building.
The woman cringed then smiled at Hakkai again, "Um, maybe we can talk while I call your cab?"
Hakkai smiled at the woman sweetly, causing her to blush, "That would be fine Miss Hunter."
Chelsea shook her head as the other woman practically skipped across the building with Hakkai and Gojyo following behind. The hazel eyed woman then turned to look at her new 'partner'.
It had been almost two days since the incident at the restaurant and Chelsea was by the phone all the time. Sanzo on the other hand smirked to himself every time the woman pouted about Jayden not calling her.
"Insei! Commons! Get in here!"
Sanzo growled as he got up from his desk and followed Chelsea to the chief's office. The blond did not really like the 'boss' thing.
"What the hell is it?"
The big man glared at Sanzo before looking to Chelsea, "Clean and simple retrieval. Some young girl got caught up in the wrong crowd and now they're holding her in a apartment in Little Tokyo."
"The woman grinned. Alright, c'mon Sanzo."
"What the hell is going on?" Sanzo asked, as he got tired of looking out the window.
"We go in, get the girl, and get out."
"That's it?"
"Yup. And we don't shoot to kill." She paused as she pulled up and parked, "Only shoot to kill if you get shot at."
Sanzo rolled his eyes, "Tch. Whatever."
The woman walked to the trunk and popped it. Sanzo raised his brows at the array of guns.
The woman smirked, "This is my work car as you can see."
The man nodded once as he slipped on he vest, "Right."
The woman strapped up and looked at him, "Ready?"
The man cocked his gun and glanced at her, "Let's get this over with."
She chuckled and moved to the door. She opened it up and the old woman behind the counter tried to run. Chelsea pulled her badge and smiled at her sweetly. "We won't cause any damage. Just tell us the room."
The woman nodded, "23! 23!"
Sanzo followed the woman quietly. This was nothing like fighting demons. They used to just go in and start killing or…or rather the demons would come to them then they would start killing
It was also different to see Chelsea like this. She wasn't the usual pain in the ass like at home, now she was focused and serious.
Chelsea balled her fist and banged on the door. Sanzo stood against the wall, away from the door. "Open up!"
There was shuffling inside, "Who is it?!"
"Yo mama! Now open the door!"
"My mama dead! What the hell do you want?!"
Sanzo growled, "Open the fucking door!"
"NO!"
Chelsea sighed, they always made harder then it had to be, "This is L.A PD and we want the girl! Open the door."
The shuffling became louder then it was suddenly very quiet. Sanzo inched to the door and listened. Chelsea knew what was next. She pushed the blond out of the way as a hail of bullets shredded the door.
All Sanzo could hear were the guns going off. Even after they stopped there was a massive ringing in his ear. He didn't hear Chelsea call him; it only clicked to follow her when she disappeared into the apartment.
Everything moved so fast. Chelsea was shooting down people left and right. Before long she came to a door and attempted to kick it down. Sanzo was alert enough to move her out of the way and kick it down himself.
The woman instantly fell to the side of a girl who was on the floor. Chelsea removed the gag, "CLOSET!" She screamed.
Chelsea didn't turn fast enough as another guy exited the closet with a gun. Two guns went off.
"I'm fine."
"Ma'am, are you sure?"
"I said I was fine now stop touching me." Chelsea swatted at the medic. The man packed up the medical bag and walked away.
The woman hoped down from her perch on another cop car and strut over to Sanzo, "You saved my liiife. I know you liiike me. You love your paaartner." She sang.
The blond rolled his eyes, "I should have let him shoot you."
"He did shoot me!" Chelsea said pointing to the bandage on her arm. Though the bullet had only grazed her arm, a little below her shoulder.
Sanzo turned and glared at her, "What do you want."
"I wanted to say thank you. I've never had a partner but I guess it's a good thing I have one now…I could have died today."
Sanzo just scoffed, "Whatever."
Chelsea smirked and glanced at her cell, "Well look at that. We still have time to get Goku."
…and I met Layla, Ebony, Mark and Matthew, they're twins, and some of the other kids said hi but they weren't as cool as them."
Chelsea just smiled as Goku chatted excitedly about is new friends and his school day. She opened the front door and the boy zipped inside, "GOJYO!"
Sanzo shook his head and sat at the kitchen table with a sigh. Hakkai set a glass of water infront of him, "Hello Sanzo. Hello Chel- Oh my! What happened?!"
Hakkai rushed to the woman and immediately started fussing over the bloody bandage. The woman swatted him away, "Your just like an annoying medic. I'm fine. I just got swiped by a bullet today."
"Yeah it was cool! Chelsea told me all about it!" Goku said as he entered the kitchen and sat at the tale, awaiting his snack.
Gojyo entered the room and lent against the counter, "So what happened?"
"I had to save her ass. That's what happened." Sanzo said, sipping his water.
"You know you wanted to."
"Tch. Whatever."
Hakkai just smiled and shook his head, "So Sanzo. I hope you feel better now that you've shot something?"
"Damn straight."
