Charades
"HAHAHA! Was that it? When will they ever learn that numbers don't matter? Ne, Hakkai?!" Goyjo asked Hakkai after the stream of youkai finally stopped coming in.
He stopped confused, when Hakkai seemed to be thinking deep. He knitted his brows together, "Oi, Hakkai what's the matter?" "Don't you think it was too easy?" Hakkai finally said after contemplating. "You mean the youkai? Of course they were pathetic compared to.. " "No, these youkai didn't even seem like warriors to me. They seem too weak to be assassins." Goyjo scratched his head, Hakkai was making him so confused, so what if those youkai were weak, all of them are, except possibly Homura and company, and they are kamis after all. "If you had something in mind Hakkai, spit it out! I don't like your mind games at all." Goyjo pouted. "What if it was just a decoy? To stall for some time?" "Why would anyone stall for some time?" "I don't know, but I've got a very bad feeling about this." Hakkai walked out the door, but before leaving out, "I'm going to check in on Goku and Sanzo." Goyjo scratched his head yet again, damn monk and bakazaru can handle themselves pretty well, thank you. "Wait I'm coming."
Hakkai opened the door to Goku's room. "Goku, you still awake?" He opened the door completely to reveal that no one was inside, but Goku definitely had been sleeping since the bed covers are all messed up. [Maybe he had gone for a night time snack or something.] Hakkai thought to himself animatedly. His thoughts were suddenly broken when he heard Goyjo gasp. "Goyjo what's the matter?" Hakkai asked walking over to Sanzo's bedroom door. He looked in and gasped himself. The room was in disarray, to say so in the least. The walls were full of holes indicating that guns had been shot, the bed was also torn in half, and every signs of struggle that you could think of was the very picture of the room. They could not see Sanzo from where they stand so they entered the room. "Sanzo? Are you here?" Hakkai called out aloud while walking towards the window. What a shame, it started raining, and they hate rain. "Oi, Sanzo! Sanzo!" Hakkai turned around and saw Sanzo behind door, looking forlorn, his eyes were blank and silent tears were streaming down his face. Goyjo was shaking him back and forth as if he wanted Sanzo to snap out of it. Hakkai leaned close in on Sanzo, "Sanzo, what happened?" He asked in that reasonable, soothing voice. "Tell us what happened and where's Goku?" "Shhhh." Sanzo finally muttered. Goyjo looked aghast. "What do you mean, Shhh.? You." "Urusai! I can't hear the zaru's voice, must strain to hear it." Hakkai and Goyjo looked at each other confused. "What are you saying Sanzo? Where is Goku?" Hakkai prodded him gently. Sanzo, who was humming to himself stopped. "Didn't I tell you to keep quiet?" he hissed. "I'm trying to hear the zaru's voice, he was always calling for me, but now." Sanzo's voice cracked. "I can't hear him anymore." Goyjo looked shocked at Sanzo's display of emotions but then recovered himself immediately. "Bakazaru's probably out for some snack but he'll be back, then you can hear all his annoying voice for all it's worth." Goyjo chuckled then stopped when Sanzo said in a quiet voice, "He's gone, he left. He left with Homura."
Hakkai sighed. After some time of coaxing, they finally convinced Sanzo to sleep. Sanzo's outburst yesterday was very alarming. They never knew that Goku could make the monk break down like that. And it never occurred to them that Goku might leave them. Well yes, Goyjo did suggest that he go with Homura but he was just kidding, right? Hakkai rubbed his forehead. The zaru could really be gullible, but he wouldn't go with Homura just like that. I mean who would. "Hey, Goku care to join us?" "Sure why not? I'll go with you." Hakkai rolled his eyes at his own sarcasm. He was startled at the sound of scraping chairs. "Ohayou, Hakkai." "Goyjo, you're up early today." "Can't sleep. Guilty." "Guilty? About what?" "Bakazaru took my advice seriously! Now he's gone! Who will I bicker with from now on?" Goyjo said exasperatedly. He lowered his voice, "I'm guilty too about what it has done to Sanzo." "Hai. Never thought I'll be seeing him like that." "Who would? I mean Sanzo is emotionless." They both fell into silence. Hakkai spoke up first. "But do you really think Goku would leave just like that?" Goyjo scratched his chin. "You're right. Even if Sanzo and he were a little off, he would never think of leaving his owner. I mean Sanzo is the center of Goku's universe. You think something more happened yesterday?" "I think so. I hope Sanzo is a lot better today. Maybe he can fill us in with the details."
[Ughhh.] Sanzo had just woken up with a very bad mood. His head hurts so much, he felt like tugging his hair out. He tried to sit up and looked around his surroundings. [This is not my room, why am I here?] He felt immediately sick, when he remembered what happened yesterday. Homura had Goku now, and it was all his fault. If he had never been so cruel to Goku, if he had never uttered those cruel words, Goku would still be here with him. [If ever you come back, I promise I'll never hurt you again.] Sanzo cried while he wondered if he will be given another chance.
"Goku, what's the matter? Are you still hungry?" Homura asked Goku who had finished his fourth serving of the meal they were sharing. "Uhhh, nothing. I'm already full, thank you." Goku tried his best not to look at Homura. This guy was nice to him, yes, but it was unnerving every time their eyes meet. It was like Homura could see directly beneath his clothes, his soul. And he doesn't like that one bit. He needs privacy to himself, at least between his ears. "How about Shien and Zenon? Aren't they going to eat too?" Goku asked, hell he had nothing more to say, and who cares what those two are doing. "They will have their turn once we finish." "Don't you eat with them? Together I mean?" "Before you yes, but now they gladly gave me the favor of having you all to myself." Goku pried his eyes away from Homura. There he goes again! He was smiling like he knew everything and that pisses Goku off. He knew perfectly well that Goku is innocent, thus passes such as will not work with the zaru. "Want to go to bed with me?" Homura asked. He did not hear right, didn't he? "Uh, excuse me? What did you say?" Goku asked a bare hint of anger on his voice. "Oh sorry, what I meant was do you want to go to bed now? To sleep of course." Goku slitted his eyes as if thinking if it would be safe to do so. He shrugged, giving up; Homura was as difficult to read as Sanzo was. "Sure."
Sanzo tried like hell to compose himself up before going down for breakfast. It took him forever to dress up and even longer than that, trying not to cry. After all, no matter what happens, their journey to the west must continue, with or without Goku. Sanzo breathed in deeply. He must not give in to his emotions this time, at least not in Hakkai and Goyjo's presence. His pathetic display of emotions last time pisses him off. He thought he was done with emotions, but apparently he was not and will never be. [Goku, are you happy now? Is this what you really want?] Sanzo asked himself for the nth time. He misses the zaru. His paper fan will now be useless; he can't utter the words 'urusai' ever again, but what he really wants is the zaru's voice. His master once told him, that he will hear a voice, and that voice will be needing him. Just as his master had heard him and took care of him. But now he can't even hear the zaru's voice any longer. And that saddens him deeply. [Maybe he doesn't need me anymore. Maybe he's found what he's looking for.]
"Sanzo! Ohayou!" Hakkai greeted Sanzo when he noticed the monk enter the bar. He looks like he had recovered, because he was composed as usual and he looks entirely business. "Get yourselves ready. We will be leaving." "What?! But what about Goku? We can't leave him just like that, we must get him back." Goyjo protested. "Didn't you hear me? I said go and get ready." Sanzo plopped himself on the table and looked at Hakkai intently. "Uh, okay. Let me get the shopping done." "Sanzo, you don't intend on leaving Goku right? Right?" Goyjo asked yet again when Hakkai had gone. Sanzo looked at him crossly, puffing rings of smoke in to his face. "Yes, I do intend to do that." "But, but." Click. Sanzo's gun was already in Goyjo's temple. "I don't want to talk about this. And for your information, Goku will never come back." Goyjo opened and reopened his mouth a few times, but then he just raised his arms in surrender. "Whatever you say monk."
Homura paced the length of his room, debating if he should visit Goku's room or not. Apparently the zaru is still under strain, but with coaxing and lots of food he will be alright in no time. What bothers Homura is that it may take quite awhile for Goku to accept him. Homura has little patience, especially if it involves a certain golden eyed boy. The moves he made that dinner were close to disaster. If the zaru was that not naïve, he would have been mad and his hopes of having a bond with Goku would be instantly shattered. [What a stupid line to say anyway.] Homura lectured himself. So he decided not to make any moves on the zaru for the time being. [Slowly but surely will be the way to go.] He thought to himself. But he was still bored. Homura plopped down on his throne, chin on the back of his hands. Then he suddenly perked up. "Shien, Zenon!" He called his two loyal companions. "You called?" Zenon and Shien instantly appear in front of him. "Do you feel like going to a field trip?" "Why not? We got kind of bored, after our play." "Really?" Homura raised his brows questioningly. "But of course. Do you have something fun in mind?" Shien asked. "Yes, I feel like visiting Konzen and his buddies today." Zenon raised his brows in return. "Ahhh. rubbing it in Konzen's face, right?" Homura grinned wickedly. "What else is there?"
"HAHAHA! Was that it? When will they ever learn that numbers don't matter? Ne, Hakkai?!" Goyjo asked Hakkai after the stream of youkai finally stopped coming in.
He stopped confused, when Hakkai seemed to be thinking deep. He knitted his brows together, "Oi, Hakkai what's the matter?" "Don't you think it was too easy?" Hakkai finally said after contemplating.
