Dawn of the New Morning: A Gensomaden Saiyuki Non-Yaoi fan fic
Author's notes: I've changed my mind. A LITTLE bit of shounen-ai will be found in the later chapters he he he he he…. Anyway, Cho Hakkai is still the cutest guy in Saiyuki! In my opinion, that is ^^
**start**
Cho Hakkai woke up, shielding his eyes from the bright sunlight. He looked beside him to see the purple-haired girl gone, all the sheets neatly placed on the bed.
"I wonder where Yaone-san could be…" Hakkai wondered, running a hand through the mop of unruly black hair on his head. He chuckled as he stood up, walking to the bathroom to wash his face.
As he wiped his face with a fluffy towel, a strange wave of drowsiness hit the raven-haired man. He stumbled before getting a hold on the wooden doorframe.
"Maa…fushigi desu ne…" Hakkai said, in his usual tone. He raised a hand to support his head, searing pain surging through his nerves. He walked to the bed and sat on the side, his hand still clutching a patch of his hair. The headache was growing, causing more discomfort for him.
"Maybe because…" Hakkai started to conclude, remembering the events of the previous night. The lady beside him reminded him so much of Kana that he almost lost control of himself. The huge urge to grab the girl beside him and hold her close to him, to bury his head onto her neck, and to never let go ran through his body, making him awake all night. It was strange, to fall asleep in the wee hours of the morning and do not notice that she was gone.
Hakkai swung his legs over to the bed, stretching. He hung his head low as he involuntarily closed his eyes, lack of sleep and fatigue overcoming him. Hakuryu growled softly at his feet, curling around as if sleeping.

"Hakkai-san?" her angelic voice rang throughout his head.
Kana?
"Hakkai-san?" she repeated, looking intently at Hakkai. He slowly opened his eyes to see purplish-pink eyes looking into his, concern and worry etched on her face.
"Ka—Yaone-san?" Hakkai asked. "Where were you?" Hakuryu suddenly squeaked at Hakkai's voice.
"I was at the market, searching for some medicinal ingredients. I didn't want to bother you, that's why I didn't wake you up." Yaone replied, smiling. "But how come you're tired? Do you want me to make some medicine for you?" she asked kindly, her purplish-pink orbs gazing into his eyes.
"You made me worry!" Hakkai suddenly said, grasping Yaone's small shoulders, feeling the tip of her mauve hair tickle his knuckles. Yaone's eyes widened at his actions, seeing his emotions carved on his face, his bright blue eyes looking back into her.
"G-gomen." Yaone stuttered out, trying not to avoid eye contact. "I'm so sorry if I made you worry, Hakkai-san." She added. How come he worries for me all of a sudden…like Kougaji-sama…and what wonders me is he's my enemy…though I feel so comfortable with him. Demo atashi-wa daisuki ga Kougaiji-sama desu… Yaone thought.
Hakkai took a deep breath and stared kindly at the girl before him. "Daijoubu da yo." He said, releasing his grip. "I just feel so tired. I didn't get enough sleep last night." He added, staring at the ceiling. His remark made Yaone look at him for a second.
"You must feel so awkward sleeping beside a stranger." Yaone commented, grinding some medicinal herbs. "I'm sorry, may be I should find another hotel."
"Iie, iie." Hakkai waved his hand. "Daijoubu da yo, Yaone-san. I can manage."
"You should feel comfortable." Yaone said, now mixing some water into the powder.
"It's okay." Hakkai repeated.
*
The next day, (probably the third day of their week off) to lessen Hakkai's worries, the two decided to go to the market together. Yaone was looking for recipes for medicinal purposes while Hakkai searched for recipes for cooking.
The two got along very well, spending the afternoon away. Some people honestly mistook them for a couple, since they were always together.
"YAONE-CHAN!!!!!!!!" a scream came out of nowhere. Yaone turned around to see the orange-haired girl she always looked after.
"Lilin-sama?" Yaone asked, bewildered.
"Oi! I wanted to see you so here I –" Lilin's words was cut short by the sight of the man beside her guardian. "AH! One of Baldie Sanzo's comrades!!!!!!!!" She screamed, pointing her finger straight at Hakkai's face. Hakkai just smiled his charming smile while Yaone laughed.
"Lilin-sama, don't point at Hakkai-san." Yaone said, chuckling.
"YOU KNOW HIM BY NAME!!!" Lilin screamed in horror.
"Lilin-sama!" Yaone continued, chortling.
Her usual alarm clock rang, signaling that Lilin should go home. "Mou! I should go back home or else Oniichan would get mad at me! Have a nice week, futari-tomo!" And with that, the ginger-haired girl ran away as fast as she could, only to bump so rashly onto the only kid who's as hungry as she is.
"AAHHH!!! BALDIE SANZO'S PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*
"Oi, Hakkai!" The redheaded demon waved a hand to Hakkai.
"Gojyo? Goku? Sanzo?" Hakkai asked in surprise.
"I'm HUNGRY!!!!" came Goku's usual scream for food.
*
"I'll leave you four alone for a while." Yaone bowed deeply, unaware of the pair of violet eyes eyeing her. "Ja ne, anata-tachi."
"Ja ne, Yaone-san" he turned to the people with him. "So, why are you guys here?" Hakkai asked, preparing cups of tea for the other three and for him. Hakuryu continued to rest on Goku's head.
"Just wanted to see you I guess." Sanzo said, smoking his cigarette.
"I'm hungry!" Goku cried again, his head plunging low, causing Hakuryu to fall to the floor with a squeak.
"Urusai, baka saru!" Gojyo said, bopping him upside the head.
"What did you do that for, you ugly horny water demon?!" Goku started the fight, standing up abruptly.
"You always say that, you stupid monkey!" Gojyo retorted, waving a fist at him.
"That's because I'm always hungry!" Goku shot back, also waving a fist at Gojyo.
"You're just mutilated, that's why!" Gojyo said angrily, grabbing Goku's shirt.
"I'm not mutilated, you are!" Goku replied, making a face.
"Yare yare…" Sanzo sighed, waving his cigarette butt.
"They're at it again." Hakkai followed suit, setting the readied tea down the coffee table.
*
His purple eyes peeked into the small crack on the wall, intent on seeing more. Genjo Sanzo stared at the woman who was taking a bath on the other room. Call it unlikely, but somehow Sanzo was heavily attracted to their enemy.
"Ne, Hakkai-kun, can you please hand me my robe?" came her sweet voice from the other side of the wall.
"But you're…umm…you're in the bath!" Hakkai's voice came to his ears.
"Daijoubu da yo, you can just hand me the robe while the curtain's over." She replied; her smooth pearly-white back exposed to Sanzo's eyes.
"Are you sure about that, Yaone-san?" Hakkai asked.
"Un. Please hurry, I might turn into a prune soon." Yaone added with a chuckle, still unaware of his glowing lavender eyes.
"Maa, maa, Yaone-san." Hakkai assured, this time walking briskly to the bathroom, visible to Sanzo's hole in the wall.
Meanwhile, Gojyo was somewhere else in the room, absorbed in his own erotic daydreams…of a certain black-haired comrade at least.
Author's notes: Okay, okay…Sanzo's OOC! SANZO'S OOC!!!!!
Anyway, there's the little hint of shounen-ai between you know who. But hey, that's not just about it. There's still some in the later chapters. And I won't forget about Yaone's liking to her boss…hee hee hee…
