Still Time

By: cool-kitsune

Author's notes: Chapter II is here!!! Well, this chapter is all about Gojyo and Sanzo but there is no yaoi pairing between them. Nope, no thank you. I am not interested in GojyoxSanzo. Anyway, since they didn't appear in Chapter I, I'll focus this chapter on them. Sankyu for all your reviews!!!!!

PG-13 because, Sanzo and Gojyo are here already and you know what happens when the two are together. A lot of cussing, threatening and many, many more. This story or should I say chapter is from nobody's POV.

YAOI. But, like I said, it's not GojyoxSanzo. They're not meant to be. It is still GokuxSanzo and GokuxHakkai. Sanzo misses the saru so much he really has to find a way to get to him.

Disclaimer: I don't own Saiyuki and that's clear okay?? I know you people are tired of fics that have them disclaimers, but I just need to. I own Kitsune-chan, Homei, Yang Ming, and the innkeeper who will appear in this fic and also Aki, the youkai. SANKYU!!

I dedicate this to Hakkai, and my enemies and all the people in the world. I don't know why I feel so happy despite of the pain I am receiving now.. (sighs) I guess Hakkai and I are so much alike! (He's my idol like I said.)

Warning: Look at PG-13 and at YAOI to get an idea. Oh yeah, and there a lot of OOCs here because of Sanzo and of Goku though he wouldn't appear much.

Still Time: Chapter II: Lost

The black hole led Gojyo and Sanzo to a strange place. Not like what the Togenkyo they knew. "Shit. I wonder where the hell we are. Dammit." Murmured Gojyo.

Sanzo inspected around the place. "I've seen this place before. But, I don't know when.." Sanzo looks around and sees a town just up ahead. "Damn, why does Hakuryuu have to be with Hakkai and Goku? The town seems far ahead. Ch'!!" complained Sanzo.

"It's no use complaining, monk. We're lost. And why do you expect Hakuryuu to come to us instead of his master? Oh, you are out of your damned head." Gojyo pointed out.

"Urusai." Sanzo pointed his gun on Gojyo's head.

"Hai, hai. I'll stop. I'll stop. You don't have to do that every time you know!! Don't you think this is a time for us to get to know each other??"

"I know you enough. You're a perverted kappa and that's all I need to know. Ch'!" Sanzo grunted and began walking away.

"Oi, where do you think you are going??" Gojyo asked.

"Ch'!! How else would we know where the fucking hell we are if we don't get a move??" Sanzo said, without looking back.

"Yeah, yeah.. You know what, I kind of' miss the saru and Hakkai." Gojyo told him.

"We haven't been separated for even an hour." Sanzo tried to cover up for his feelings. But, he missed Goku so badly. He missed his smiles, his jokes, his laughter, and even his whining. "Dammit," Sanzo muttered to himself.

"What's that you said??" asked Gojyo.

"Just shut up, kappa." Sanzo was in a very bad mood and was not in the mood to talk with a perverted kappa.

"Fine, fine. You don't need to be so grumpy always, you know that, Sanzo- sama??" Gojyo put his hand on Sanzo's shoulder.

Sanzo got his gun and aimed at Gojyo's hand. "Get your hand off my shoulder now or you won't be able to fuck yourself." (naughty, naughty, Sanzo!!!!)

"Hai, hai." Gojyo got his hand off Sanzo's shoulder and put them in his pockets. Damn, why does Sanzo have to be so boring? Why do I have to be with him anyway? Whoever planned this stuff should just go to hell. thought Gojyo. (Why, you, Gojyo!!! I planned this fic!!!!!!)

The town was quite far away. It was about a kilometer away and it might take them over an hour to get there. "Oi, Sanzo. What do you think happened to Goku and Hakkai?" (WOW!! Gojyo actually called Goku by his first name!! * claps hands *) He got a cigarette from his pocket and lit it with his old lighter.

"Ch'! How am I supposed to know? Whether I like it or not, we must get to them soon. We still have a journey to accomplish." Sanzo got a cigarette also but he forgot that his lighter was in the bag. "Damnation." (whether he liked it or not?? He must, to find his beloved Goku!!)

"Here you go, monk." Gojyo threw his lighter at Sanzo and Sanzo caught it alertly. "Like I said, this is a time for us to get to know each other more. You know, quality time?? Maybe I'll know the kindness within you." Gojyo smiled, but not his usual hentai, perverted, evil thoughts smile.

"There's nothing to figure out. And I said I know you enough. Just one word could describe you, "Pervert". You don't need to know anything about me." Sanzo grunted and walked on.

"Aww, Sanzo-sama doesn't want his past revealed?? Or you don't want me to know the secret love of your life?? Hmm, let me guess." Gojyo got his hand on his chin.

"Don't even think about it.." Sanzo triggered his gun at Gojyo. His eyes narrowed and warned Gojyo that if he said anything else annoying, he'll blast his damned fucking shitty head off. (great description huh??)

Gojyo just nodded in response with a matching sweat drop. "Err, just give me my lighter back.."

"Ch'!!" Sanzo threw the lighter at Gojyo without even looking at him.

"Whoa!!" said Gojyo as he caught the lighter. "You better be careful with this here lighter, it's a special gift from my old pal, Tongpu" (or maybe it's Tonpu.. just refer to episode umm.. 18 or 19 or 17 I don't know.)

"Whatever." Sanzo replied. Actually he didn't want the lighter to be destroyed or he can't smoke.

Their journey (or should I say walk) was rather quiet. Just their foot steps could be heard and the coming out of smoke from their mouths because of smoking.. (umm yeah, whatever..) The wind could be heard swishing through the leaves of the trees. Gojyo didn't want his head to have a frigging hole in it so he kept quiet. Until...



A youkai jumped in front of them. A rather young one. "Nobody could come to this place without fighting me!! We should be free from strangers and other suspicious men!!! You two look very, very suspicious!! You must fight me to get through!!!!!" exclaimed youkai with confidence.

(He had violet eyes, large pointed ears, brownish hair, and fair complexion and was wearing a sleeveless shirt and pants.)

"Ch'!! Another troublesome youkai." Sanzo took out his powerful and trusty Smith & Wesson and pointed it directly on the kid youkai's head.

"A-a-a youkai e-exterminating gun!!!!!" the youkai stammered and gathered his courage and still was in his fighting pose.

"Oi, Sanzo. Aren't youkai supposed to be umm.. to be together or something to fight you?? And why are they protecting a village?? I suppose this is not our time, Sanzo." Gojyo told him, calmly.

"Whoever gets in my way dies. And that goes for you, kid." He readied to shoot when Gojyo stopped him. (Major out of character!!!!!!!)

"No, you shouldn't!! The kid's innocent and just wants to protect the village!" Gojyo got a hold of Sanzo's right hand and looked at the youkai. "Am I right?"

"Uh.. uh.. hai!!" The youkai stood still and was shaking because of fear. Tears were visible in his eyes.

"He tells the truth." Sanzo said quite annoyed at the moment and put down his hand. "Ch'!! The village is just a few minutes away. Ikuzo." Sanzo said and walked ahead.

"You coming with us, kid?" Gojyo asked the youkai.

"Err, my name's Aki. I could lead you to a shorter way to the town if you would trust me.." Aki said, his radiant violet eyes telling the truth. "Umm.. what are your names??"

"Ore wa Sha Gojyo, the monk's Genjo Sanzo. Oi, Sanzo, did you hear that?? The kid is offering us a shorter and easier way to the village!" Gojyo yelled because Sanzo was getting far away from them from walking.

"Fine." Sanzo turned back and followed Aki and Gojyo. Sanzo caught up with Gojyo and asked him, "Is this a trap?"

"No, Aki's eyes tell the truth. I saw them. Cute little violet eyes just like yours." Gojyo laughed a bit and noticed Sanzo was glaring at him and stopped.

Aki went through the woods pushing away some stems of trees that blocked his way. They soon got to a dead end.

"Oi, Aki, you sure this is the way??" Gojyo asked Aki.

"Truth in the kid's eyes huh?" Sanzo took in the smoke from his cigarette and let it out.

Aki searched through the ground for a button and pressed it. The wall, which signified the dead end, parted and they saw a wonderful quite colorful village, filled with youkai and humans who were living in peace.

"Whoa, we can't see this kind of place in our time.." said an amazed Gojyo. His eyes were wide when he saw beautiful sexy girls pass by.

"Hentai yaro. Ikuzo. We must find an inn to stay at." Sanzo told him.

"Hai, hai, Sanzo-sama." Gojyo walked with him with his eyes still fixed on the girls.

"Umm, Sanzo-san.. what does Gojyo-san mean by "your time"?" said a perplexed Aki.

"You see here, kid. We're people from the future. We were transported by a black hole here and we are looking for our companions, Hakkai and Goku. Have you seen them??" answered Gojyo even though he was not the one asked.

"Do you expect me to believe that??" Aki said with a smile on his face. "Don't be sarcastic, Gojyo-san."

Gojyo's smile faded. "No, I'm not being sarcastic. A man never lies." Gojyo told Aki. He then heard Sanzo grunt because of his reply. "Don't mind him, he's just jealous coz he's a phony monk." He whispered to Aki.

"What did you say?!" Sanzo appeared on Gojyo's side and had his harisen on his hand.

"Just joking." Gojyo said.

"Okay, your eyes are clear Gojyo-san. I believe you." Aki told Gojyo. Sanzo glared at Aki. "I believe you about the black hole thing.." He completed his statement. "Umm, what does this Hakkai guy and Goku guy look like??"

"Umm, Hakkai's wearing a green Chinese suit and always wearing a smile with dark brown hair and a monocle. You can't miss him. As for Goku, he is a baka-saru, wearing weird clothes with a diadem on his head. He has a cape that reaches up to his waist. He has golden eyes. You can't miss him." Answered Gojyo.

"Gomen nasai, but I'm afraid I haven't seen them. If there were these people, I would have certainly jumped in front of them and attack them but I haven't seen them. Sorry to disappoint you."

"It's alright. So where's the inn??" asked Gojyo.

"Oh!! Just perfect!! I'm the son of the owner of the inn. I'm sure I could get you guys a discount!" said Aki happily.

"You really don't need to." Gojyo said humbly.

"You say that because you're not the one paying for it, kappa." Grumbled Sanzo.

"Oh sure, whatever. So, let me change my mind. Thanks, Aki." Gojyo said.

"You're welcome, Gojyo-san!!"

"Anyway, do you know where to find some hot chicks here??"

"Ehh." Aki sweat dropped

"URUSAI, KORUSO!!!" exclaimed Sanzo as he hit Gojyo on the head with his infamous harisen ------ hard.

"ITAI YO!!!!!" Gojyo yelled back at Sanzo. "Quit doing that you, you, phony monk!!!!!"

"YOU BETTER QUIT BEING A HENTAI BASTARD OR YOUR HEAD WILL HAVE A FRIGGING HOLE IN IT!!!!!" yelled Sanzo back.

Aki giggled. Gojyo and Sanzo sure were funny. He got a feeling it will be funnier when they become the complete Sanzo-Ikkou. "C'mon, guys. I'll lead you to the inn. The faster we get there, the better. You could all eat after getting a reservation."

Gojyo expected a: "WAII!! MESHI!~!!!!" and a sound of a paper fan hitting someone's head and a: "Maa, maa." but he didn't. He realized just now how boring life was without Goku and Hakkai. "That's good, I haven't eaten a decent meal since last week."

After a few minutes, they got to the inn. Aki greeted his father gaily. "Otousan, we have some visitors!! They're some friends of mine so hope you'll give them a little discount, please?" Aki clasped his hands together as if he was praying.

Hi father then answered, "Sure, any friend of yours is a friend of ours, Aki. Like our motto, accept anyone as your costumer." He smiled gaily and asked, "For how many days will you stay here??"

"It depends, we will just pay before we leave." Sanzo told him flatly.

"Please lead them to their room, Aki." The innkeeper handed his son a key to a room.

"Hai, wakarimashita." Aki got the keys and motioned Gojyo and Sanzo to follow him. He went up the stairs and led them to the second room to the right. "Here's your room. You may go out for a while and roam around if you would like. Just call me if you need anything."

"Arigatou. We'll just got to the restaurant and eat." Gojyo said.

The two bishounen went out and walked around to find the restaurant.

"What do you think, Gojyo?" Sanzo asked calmly.

"Oh, I think somebody wants us to get out of their hair. We must be in the past. There are possibilities that Hakkai and Goku are still in our time and maybe in the future." Gojyo answered, knowing exactly what Sanzo meant.

"You're right. If we don't we will never be able to complete our mission. And Gyumao will be revived." Sanzo lit another cigarette.

"But they need your sutra, Sanzo. They wouldn't be able to revive Gyumao without it." Gojyo said, a matter of factly. "Or maybe.."

"Even so.." Sanzo had other reasons in mind for getting together with the others again. And you know what that is.. (If you don't, well, look at the yaoi pairings.)

"We must get to them the sooner the better, I'm gonna die of boredom right now!!!!" whined Gojyo.

"Urusai." Sanzo told him.

"Whatever. Oh, there's the restaurant!!" Gojyo pointed at a building right across the street. "Finally, I can eat properly without anyone whining about some dumpling. Sheesh."

"I could finally eat peacefully." Sanzo threw away his cigarette.

They both went in and sat at the table near the exit. Gojyo looked at the two empty seats and sighed. "I guess we have to get used to the peacefulness, huh, Sanzo?"

"Ch'! Guess so. But, there will be no more blabbering monkeys." Sanzo pointed out. Though he really wanted Goku to be with him.

"I'll never get used to the quiet.. I also miss Hakkai's constant smile. * sigh *" Gojyo said.

A waitress asked for their order. And they just ordered some dumplings, meat buns, yakisoba, and of course, some liquor. But, if Goku was with them, they must have gotten the whole menu. Those good old days..

Their order came a few minutes later. Gojyo ate quietly, not like the usual chatting with Goku or with Hakkai. Well, what do you expect?? Could he have a decent chat with a corrupt monk?? I think not!!!

Gojyo reached out for the last dumpling and expected a saru's hand to get in the way, but nothing happened. He sighed. "Sanzo.."

"What??" Sanzo asked.

"Could you argue with me? Get this last dumpling and wolf it down and argue with me. Pretend to be like the saru and argue with me. Then hit me with your paper fan. Then, threaten me with your gun." Gojyo requested.

"No."

"Fine." Gojyo sighed once again and ate the dumpling. He didn't know the last dumpling was so good for Goku always ate the last dumpling.

Sanzo was the one who looked at the two empty seats this time. He missed the usual thing that Goku said: "Oi!! That's my dumpling!!!!!! That's the last dumpling, ero-kappa!!!" and when they start fighting Hakkai would say: "Maa, maa.. Sanzo's getting mad."

How he wanted to get to Goku and at that time, he would say his true feelings. How he wanted to see the boy smile. How he wanted to listen to his whining. How he wanted to see him. How he wanted to hear his golden voice.

But how?? How would he get them to be together again??? How???? How, how, how????

"Goku.." he murmured softly enough for Gojyo not to hear..



To be continued.
