I bust open the door, and I dropped the sutra to my waist. I walked over to the window and stared out at the little village.

"Tsk."

It's really a tiny village, and I don't see anything interesting. Ba-ka. So I got my cigarette and lit it up. I vaguely heard the wild monkey scrambling to get into the bed, laughing hysterically as though it's the first time for him to see a bed. What a really stupid monkey.

But then again, what could you expect from an innocent boy who lived in a cave?

"Sanzo, let's share bed together, ne?" he called out to me.

I freeze for a nanosecond, and the images returned. I turned to look at him and he smiled up at me, tips of his lips touching his ear and all of his teeth ( I could still see the pork buns there. Gross monkey.) were blinding me. I did the most right thing to do. I reached for my trusty white paper fan and smacked him hard in the face.

"Itai! My face hurts.." Goku yelped, clutching his deformed nose.

"Baka! What makes you think I'll share a bed with you?" I said, and proceeded to the bed. The monkey was there, lying down there and burrowed under the covers for all he's worth.

"Maa, you heard Hakkai! He said that we'd share rooms!"

"So?" I asked, removing the cigarette from my mouth.

"So that means we share rooms, we share the bed. We sleep together. Right, Sanzo?

Actually I couldn't agree more. I want to say yes, yes, yes. But I can't do it. I can't. So instead of purring yes, I said:

"No."

Goku stopped juggling the pillows in the air, and he stopped also from diving in and out of the covers. The blanket had wrapped around his neck by doing so. He gagged for a while before looking squarely at me.

"You mean you want to sleep on the floor?"

Whack!

Whack!

Smack!

"No you stupid monkey! I would never share a bed with you! You sleep on the floor, baka saru."

"But Hakkai sai-"

"Hakkai didn't pay for this room! I did!"

"But Sanzo, it's cold and hard down there!"

"Who cares?"

I flopped down the bed beside him, and I prodded him with my two feet, causing him to topple to the ground. I heard a crash, and muttered curses. Really, kids these days. However, I didn't hear him say anything against me. I feel a small amount of satisfaction there.

"Oi, Sanzo!"

I turned to my side, peering down at him.

"Yah?"

"There's no mattress here. It's really hard. Could I have a pillow?" he asked, banging his head on the floor, as though demonstrating his point. He really shouldn't have done that. His brain was damaged as it was.

"No."

"How about one teensy, weensy blanket?"

"No."

"But you'll still have a comforter!"

"No."

"Okay, what about the bed sheet, then? Could I at least have it?"

"No. if I gave you that, the bed will be all itchy." I hate itchy things too. I'm a monk, and I'm supposed to be well attended to. Right? It's not like im corrupt as they say. But it looks like this monkey somehow shared their opinion this night.

"Itchy?! Well, what about me?"

I give him a cold stare.

"What about you?"

"Maa.. Sanzo! You're so mean! Hear me? Mean! Mean! Corrupted monk!" Goku yelled loudly. Judging by the way he yelled, I wouldn't be surprised if half the tiny village woke up.

Hmm.

Have I told you before that I hate noises?

Well, let me tell you again. I HATE noises.

Especially at night. And especially when I'm so fucking trying hard to stop my raging hormones.

So now it's not the fan that I took out anymore but the famous gun of mine. I placed it in the middle of his forehead. The monkey was afraid, he stopped breathing. I was seeing red, and my temper snapped at all the noises. Okay, so you might think it's too much on the noise thing, but believe me, if you lived the way that I did, you would understand.

The way I lived when I was Kouryu. Not Sanzo. Okay, I admit that much.

Anyway, I just couldn't stand it. So I let my anger vent out.

"Urusai! You are making too much noise. Why can't you just shut up?! I wish Homura would and beat you up so bad and get your ass outta here!"

Before I blurt that out, I heard warning bells inside my head. You know, it's kinda similar with the one I get during major fights. But I was irritated and I didn't pay attention to those stupid ringing bells. Now that I think about it, bells inside your head couldn't seem possible. Hearing them would make it even worse. Whatever.

Bad move, though.

Because before I know it, his eyes were covered in a veil of unshed tears, and he stood up real quick. He went- no more like fled- away from the bed and me, reaching for the doorknob. He ran so quick, you might thought five thousand demons were after him.

"Goku, where the he-"

He slammed the door in my face before I even get to finish my question. Inwardly, I groaned and flopped to my back, staring unseeing at the ceiling.

Shit.

GOKU'S POV:





I scrambled away from Sanzo and that room as fast as I could with my shaking legs. I ran down the hallway, and I heard some pretty interesting things in Gojyo's and Hakkai's room. Under normal circumstances, I would have loved to peek and try to see who was moaning and groaning louder. But I'm not in the mood for that though.

Oh, and if you're wondering, Hakkai always won. About moaning, I mean.

Don't look at me. Go figure.

Anyway, as I ran away from them all, I feel something roll down my cheek and I wiped at it fiercely with my sleeve. But I stopped short, remembering Sanzo's word not to wipe my dirty face with my sleeve. Then I also remembered how he wiped at my chin at the bar earlier, teaching me how to do it properly.

I smile a little.

Sanzo's really cute. Okay, so the droopy eyes are a setback.

I amend. A major setback.

And oh yeah, that permanent scowl on his face? Like he'd eaten something sour and bitter at the same time?

Count that as major setback too.

But he's cute. Really cute.

I've reached outside now, and I realize once again how small this village is. I decided to wander around the village slowly, knowing that Sanzo wouldn't follow me. I should just stop thinking about him. It's just making me sad. And I thought that's not possible at all. Maybe I should just ask Hakkai about this. He's good at these heart to heart talks.

But then again, maybe not. He uses words that just can't be understood. Must be because of all those books he read. Maybe that explains the eyeglass too.

Anyway, if I couldn't ask him, how about Gojyo? He knows a lot about those girly eew-stuff, ne?

Sweatdrop.

Nah.. Sanzo's not a girl anyway.

Upon walking, I reach this tiny stretch of water, and I sit next to it, watching the water ripple from time to time. A fly buzzed past my nose. I stare for a long.. uhm.. time. Come to think of it I don't know how to tell time. I suppose, maybe many minutes would suffice. So, I stare for many minutes, and my recent memories surfaced up. I saw Hakkai's one eyed face, smiling. And I saw Gojyo, too. They are, after all, a big part of me now. But you know what? All I could see was Sanzo. All I could feel and remember was him.

Sanzo.

He's my everything.

He's my saviour.

He's my master.

He's my companion.

He's my friend.

And I like him.

Maybe I even love him.

.....

Sweatdrop.

I scratch my head in frustration. Thinking makes my head spin. What's love again? I forgot! I know I asked Hakkai about it once and he'd told me it's a feeling he felt in his chest. You know, it's the same feeling with his lover, Kanna, I think. But she died didn't she? She killed herself way before Hakkai and I knew each other. I couldn't know.

So here comes the explaining again.

He was staring at me as though I asked him why the sky was blue or if there really was God. Sheesh. So I wait a long time, and then he got all eager, and clapped his hands.

"I know, I know!" he told me. And then, raising his index finger in the air, he told me quite proudly that love is something similar to what he felt for Hakuryu. Then he turned around, leaving me and my jumbled thoughts.

Sweatdrop.

Is love for dragons then?

Sweatdrop again.

So I asked Gojyo about it. He looked dumbfounded at me, and he opened his mouth to answer.. but he never did say anything. So he repeats it at least seven times, until he just screamed that I should get out of his way.

Really, the pains and sufferings you have to endure being with a horny monster.

Okay, I don't know what love is, and I ponder for a while. All was quiet, and I feel getting sleepy.

So maybe that's why I didn't quite felt the sudden ki that approached me.

In a matter of minutes, I was snoring by the water, and two unmatched eyes were staring down on me.

"Poor Goku, tsk, tsk. Sanzo-sama doesn't pay attention to you, ne? Well, let me teach you one thing then..."
