Four Outlooks on a Rainy Night
By Chou
Chapter 4 - Sanzo
I hate this damn rain.
I hate any damn rain really. Wet and cold, pouring, pissy and drizzly, doesn't matter. If it's rain, I hate it. I've hated the rain with a passion since I was a child. I hate the rain because the only person I've ever looked up to went down in a spray of blood on a rainy night and every time it rains I can feel his blood hit my face and see his arm fly across the room as he crumples into a bleeding and dead husk. That's why I hate this damn rain and any other types of rain that may drop from the sky like the piss of the gods.
If the rain is the piss of the gods, this mission is their shit. Why the bloody hell did they choose me of all people to go on this damn trip? And why with them? Goku, I can understand: I don't think they could have stopped him. I sure as hell couldn't when they assigned me to bring Cho Gonou to them. Ever since I grabbed him from that cave so he'd stop calling my damn name, he hasn't let me out of his sight. It drives me nuts, most of the time. I wonder, was I like that to Sanzohoshi? No. Of course not.
Speaking of Cho Gonou.no, it's Hakkai now; he's sitting two yards from me staring out into the rain with a vacant expression because he's probably seeing his sister, lover, whatever knifing herself on a rainy night because she was carrying a youkai child. I assume the gods want me of all people to rehabilitate Hakkai. So that makes plausible reasons for Goku and Hakkai.
But Gojyo? I could write it off as he's coming with Hakkai, those two are bloody inseparable, but it also makes perfect sense that the gods want to piss me off some more. Gojyo is loud, crude, obnoxious, and he makes Goku make twice the noise as usual. The only way I can justify not shooting him, is that: a). I did that already when Chin Isou decided to get his jollies off of making Hakkai suffer. b). If I did, Hakkai would mope, and he's actually useful. I just have to satisfy myself with trying to crack his head open with my fan.
I swear, the next time the gods want something done, they can do it themselves or shove it up their collective ethereal asses.
Well, shit. My cigs are wet. I could bum one off of Gojyo; I could also bite my tongue out and die. Neither one's really an option here. So, it's raining, my cigarettes are wet, and I'm stuck in a tent with two and a half idiots. What else could possibly go wrong?
"Ne, Sanzo! I'm hungry!"
I had to ask, didn't I?
