Helllloooooo!!! Did ya miss me? Sorry I couldn't put this up sooner. First there was 6 weeks
of camp, followed by two weeks of another camp. Then we went to Toronto (a prize to whomever can
guess what was up there ... ) for a week. It was *lots* and *lots* of fun.
Anywho ... this is chapter 7 ... and I *still* haven't come up with a title ...
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
For the next three days, Gojyo and Hakkai avoided each other as much as possible. They worked
together only when fighting off whichever youkai it happened to be that was sent to kill the
group at that particular time. Goku became increasingly more frustrated with this, as the
rooming assignments paired him constantly with Gojyo and never with Sanzo.
What's wrong with those two, anyway? he grumbled to himself during one particularly
long car ride. They've been acting this way ever since ...
Finally it dawned on him. The two had been acting strange ever since the day he had walked in on
them kissing! Then that meant ...
Shimatta! They must've had an argument or somethin' after I left. K'so! I shot my own
chances to hell, didn't I? the youkai cursed at himself.
Never let it be said that Goku was unable to come up with a plan. After all, when ones love life
is on the line ... one can become determined, to say the least. And determined this youkai
became.
I don't care what it takes. This is going to end, and end soon! I will *not* let this
ruin my already microscopic chances with Sanzo, and that's that!
The grin which spread upon Goku's face would have scared even the said monk, should he have
witnessed it firsthand, for it promised intense mischief and dangerous consequences to anybody
who stood in his way.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
What am I going to do? I've screwed it all up, haven't I? The first chance at love that
I get, and what do I do? I kill it. Gojyo snorted self-hatingly.
He lit up his fifth cigarette in a row and stared up at the stars from his perch on the roof. A
roof was sometimes the only place one could go to brood ... or mope, as the case was.
But he did say come back, didn't he? When I have my final answer. THEN WHY THE HELL IS
IT TAKING ME SO FUCKIN' LONG TO COME UP WITH ONE?!?!
With a sigh, Gojyo flopped onto his back.
"Hmm ... what would onii-san say? ... He'd prolly laugh in my face for a good hour or so,
but maybe he'd give me some advice."
Before the red head could contemplate that much longer, something tingled the edges of his
enhanced senses. That was one of the benefits of being a half-breed, he did not have to wear a
limiter, thus being able to sense things his companions could not. And his senses were telling
him that this intruder did *not* have good things planned for them.
K'so! K'so! Not another fuckin' assassin! How many of them have we already killed today?
Five?
Thus cursing, Gojyo quickly gained his feet and hopped off the roof, running up to Sanzo's room
to warn him. Unfortunately, this assassin was better than the rest. Just before he had a chance
to do anything, Gojyo was assaulted by the familiar smell of a sleeping potion, much like the one
Yaone had used.
Hakkai ... k'so ... Gomen nasai ... suki da ... he thought as everything blurred, then
went black.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Hakkai glanced up from his book at the sound of a thud outside his door. He frowned lightly,
then looked to Sanzo. The monk shrugged, but motioned for Hakkai to get away from the door
anyway. The other man did as told, silently and quickly. Both men prepared for an attack as
best they could, as quietly as they could. Sanzo gritted his teeth and glared at the door, like
that would force the intruder to go away.
K'so! What if they have Goku?! Why do I care if they have Goku? Because we need Goku,
that's why! Oh, FUCK it all!!! I hate heaven, I hate whoever it is out there, and I will most
certainly KILL Goku if he's managed to get himself captured.
Absently Sanzo noticed that he had forgotten to add Gojyo in that little rant, but a larger part
of his mind was yelling at him to just stop worrying about the earth youkai, while another part
was insisting that he was *not* *worried*. He just didn't feel like running after stupid apes
all night.
The door handle turned slowly, and both Hakkai and Sanzo tensed. The door pushed open a little,
and a head cautiously peeked around it.
Sanzo fired.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" screamed a *very* familiar voice, slamming the door shut.
Hakkai blinked. Sanzo blinked. They looked at each other.
"GOKU?!?!"

and the anime convention going on up there. Bai-bai!
