Chapter two
Konzen's Flashback
[500 years ago]
"One month! One whole fucking month!" Konzen slammed his fist against the table in frustration. He can't take it anymore! Kenren Taishou and Tenpou Gensui can understand the desperate situation Konzen is in now. "And you still can't find 'him'!!"
'Him', Son Goku, also known as Konzen's lover, had disappeared one month ago. Where he had gone or why, nobody knows, including Konzen himself. He could remember the last time he saw Goku. That very morning, Konzen had awakened to see a sleeping Goku beside him.
Goku was tired from all the 'exercise' yesterday night, so Konzen had thoughtfully gotten out of bed without waking him. After wearing his robes, he went out of the room. That was the last time Konzen saw Goku.
Konzen had been miserable ever since his lover disappeared. Finding Goku seemed to be his only job and target in life. Of course Kenren and Tenpou had helped. Somehow, one way or another, the great General and Marshal of Heaven's Western Army did not succeed in finding Goku.
"No, there is not even a trace of Goku's whereabouts." Kenren spoke out for both Tenpou and himself. He felt ashamed to be so useless in critical moments like this. "We're never going to see Goku again."
"Maa, maa. Don't be so sure, Kenren." Tenpou replied with his long- time-no-see-smile. Not wanting to keep Konzen and Kenren waiting any longer, he showed them a thick book he was holding. Seeing their confusion, Tenpou explained. "It's a spell book. I've found a spell to bring Konzen to Goku."
"Eh? How you'd know it'll work?" Kenren tried to snatch the book but Tenpou was far quicker. He smiled dangerously at the red-haired Taishou.
"I don't." Tenpou answered. Both Konzen and Kenren sweat dropped. "I have no idea if it'll work or not. To tell you the truth, I'm not even sure how to operate this spell stuff." Turning to Konzen, Tenpou's face suddenly turned serious. "It's just a chance we have to take for getting Goku back. It's your choice, are you willing to take the risk?"
All these commotion and Konzen hadn't avert his view from his clean paperwork on the table. There was something wrong with it. With Goku around, his paperwork was never 'clean'. For the tenth time today, Konzen had pointed out the difference with and without Goku. He misses the saru.
"You would have two weeks before the spell wears off." Tenpou added.
Without much thinking, Konzen made his decision. "Fine. But if I come back empty-handed, both of you are so dead."

[500 years later]
"Ano... who are you mister?" Goku blushed deeply as the Sanzo-look- alike person did not loosen his bear hug. The real Sanzo was also red in face, with anger of course.
Konzen was so glad to see Goku that he barely noticed the three other people. When he finally did, it was when Sanzo was yelling for both Hakkai and Gojyo to let go. "Kenren... Tenpou?" No, they weren't his friends. Who's that rude blond monk who was ruining his reunion with Goku?
"Not again!" Gojyo exclaimed and slapped his forehead. The stranger was calling them the names Homura did. "And who the heck might you be?" He had a good guess.
"Konzen. I'm Konzen." Much to Sanzo's relief, he released Goku and stood up. His purple robe fell into place, reminding Goku how familiar this 'Konzen' is.
Konzen cursed mentally as he realized that something had went wrong in Tenpou's spell. Sure he had found Goku, but what is he doing on earth and not in heaven? Why is Goku's hair short, why is he wearing weird clothing's, and who are these people?
Konzen wasn't stupid, he knew something was terribly wrong, but he just can't figure out what.
The Kenren-look-alike, Tenpou-look-alike and the rude blond monk don't seemed like they would kidnap Goku. But you can't judge a book by its cover. Konzen can't decide if they were friends or foe. So he did what he could think of at that moment. "I've lost my memories."
"Ch', bullshitting. Don't tell me you can only remember Goku, your long lost love?" Sanzo snapped. He took Goku by his wrist and pulled him away from Konzen but he was stopped, for Konzen held Goku's other wrist.
"That's right. I can only remember some names. And Goku happens to be my lover." Konzen said without blinking. He doesn't like this blond monk one bit.
Goku blushed heavily from Konzen's confession. [I-I'm his lover??] Funnily, the saru doesn't mind being called Konzen's lover. It sounded so right. Sanzo's face blackens and he reached inside his robe, searching for his trusty gun.
Hakkai and Gojyo quickly took their positions to hold Sanzo's arm in place once again. Using this perfect chance, Konzen pulled Goku by his side and hugged the blushing saru possessively. The innocent duo sighed helplessly. It was going to be a long night.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~
"Tell me again why did I agree to let him come along?" Sanzo asked Hakkai with a huge vein popping on his forehead. The emerald eyed man smiled and wisely kept his mouth shut. [Actually, Goku pleaded Sanzo with his famous puppy dog eyes to take Konzen to the nearest town.]
The monk had been like that for the past few hours since they continue their journey. Hakkai was driving with Sanzo beside him. At the backseat, Goku was sitting in the middle of Gojyo and Konzen. After having his daily activity of quarrelling with Gojyo, the saru gave it a rest and stared at the clouds above with a bored expression.
Suddenly, the saru's tummy rumbled loudly. It was time for his other daily activity. "Harahetta! When can we eat?"
*Continues for five more minutes with Gojyo teasing Goku and Hakkai assuring him they'll be reaching the town soon to add the effects. *
Sanzo's eyebrows twitched and the vein on his forehead is getting bigger. He really didn't want to do this, but god, that monkey has a special ability to get onto his nerves.
Sanzo/Konzen: "URUSAI!!!!" *SMACK* *SMACK*
Goku: "ITAI!!!"
Poor Goku, instead of receiving the paper-fan-of-doom only, a fist had landed on his head too this time. The little saru winced and rubbed his head with both hands. Gojyo was laughing his head off and Hakkai... well he was trying not to swerve the jeep too much.
Sanzo gave a deadly glare at Konzen and vice versa. The two blonds were thinking about the same thing. [How dare he hits MY Goku???]
"Serves you right, saru!" Gojyo teased. He was unprepared for the cold glare that Konzen shot and the infamous paper fan whacking him on his head. This time, it was Goku's turn to laugh.
"He wouldn't be so noisy if you kept your bloody mouth shut." Sanzo regain calmness and sat down on his seat again. Gojyo made a face at the monk as he resumed to wrestle with Goku again.
[How did Goku ended up with such a rude and violent person?] Konzen shot a few more cold glances at the monk in front of him. (AN: Konzen would never admit Sanzo was his reincarnate if he knew.) Whatever. He was going to take Goku back in two weeks time. And no one is going to stop him from doing so.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~
(In an inn)
"Please Sanzo~~ Pretty, pretty, please..." Goku begged with his huge shinny golden orbs that always melt Sanzo's frostbitten heart. The monk sighed and gave in. What was he to do? His beloved monkey is particularly begging him!
"Fine. He can stay with us for two weeks at his own risk." Sanzo eyed Konzen who was leaning against the wall with Hakkai and Gojyo chatting by his side. It was hardly noticeable, but Sanzo caught the new companion stealing a glance or two at Goku lovingly. How he wished to tear out those violet eyes that look so much like his own.
"Yeah! Sank you!" The little saru rejoiced and flung himself happily onto his guardian for a hug. Sanzo was half surprised and half enjoying his triumph as Konzen glared at him jealously. He shot Konzen an evil smirk and hugged Goku back.
Konzen gritted his teeth and quickly ended his conversation with Hakkai and Gojyo. He walked towards them. Sanzo took his credit card out swiftly; he gave it to the innkeeper. "Two rooms."
"Two?" Gojyo asked. "One for you and one for four of us? I don't think it's enough, Sanzo-sama."
"Urusai. Goku can sleep with me, three of you can share the other room." Sanzo said with an expressionless face.
"No. Goku is sleeping with ME." To make his point clear, Konzen stood between Sanzo and Goku with the saru behind his back. Two pairs of violet eyes had electricity coming out from them.
"I'm paying, so the saru sleeps with me!"
"But I'm his lover so he should sleep with me!!"
"Goku is not your lover but an innocent child! Therefore he WILL sleep with me!!!"
"Ne baka saru, who do you want to share a room with?" The two blond haired adults turned their attention to Gojyo who asked the simple yet important question. Goku tilted his head and blinked.
"I wanna sleep with Hakkai."
All three sweat dropped while staring at the quiet man who had been smiling all this time.
~*~
(Next morning)
"Ohayo, Sanzo." Hakkai greeted the blood-shot eyes monk who just came into the room he and Goku shared without knocking.
"Where's Goku?" Looking to his left, right and all over the room, Sanzo did not see his saru anywhere. It was early and normally Goku would still be asleep at this time unless breakfast was served. He sat on a chair and crossed his legs. Indirectly saying that he's going to wait for Goku to come back from wherever he was.
"I'm not sure. He woke up earlier than me and told me he'll be out for a while." Hakkai pitied the monk who obviously didn't had enough shut eyes. Even though he could get another room for himself and let Konzen share a room with Gojyo, he didn't.
Sanzo tried his best not to yawn. He had been pretending to sleep all night and who could sleep if you know that your greatest love rival is in the same room with you. What's the reason that he insisted to share a room with Konzen and pretending to sleep, you ask? Well, let's just say that Sanzo was making sure Konzen doesn't crept to Goku's room in the middle of the night. The things he'll do for Goku...
"Coffee." After getting away from Konzen, Sanzo felt sleepiness threatening to envelope him. Hakkai smiled understanding what Sanzo needs the most. The monk took the cup of coffee from him. Hakkai is really an unpredictable person.
Before the cup can touch his pale lips, loud running footsteps outside the corridor could be heard. Sanzo placed his coffee down and went outside to investigate. Sanzo's heart skipped a beat when the image of Goku standing outside his room came into view.
Sunshine poured into the hallway, making Goku's chocolate hair blond, like his. The monkey did not notice his guardian but stood silently in front of the door a few seconds. Sanzo felt a slight tug at the corner of his lips when he saw the small bunch of flowers Goku was holding.
The boy raised his fist and knocked on the door, he entered just as Sanzo was about to call him. Both Sanzo and Hakkai walked towards the door that Goku went in. They stopped abruptly as they heard the conversation inside.
"Goku?" Konzen hated to see the Kenren-look-alike face first thing he wakes up in the morning. But Goku being the second one isn't that bad.
"K-Konzen..." Goku looked around but can't find Sanzo. "Ano... here."
He thrusts the violet coloured flowers in front of Konzen while blushing madly. Goku lowered his head in case the man refused to take his gift. Just like Sanzo. Goku felt his hand emptied and he also felt a hand patting his head. He lifted his head to stare at Konzen with wide eyes.
"Thanks." Even with red lines formed on his cheeks, Konzen continues to pat Goku's head. That's one of the two things he felt like doing now. Well, the other was to pull Goku onto the bed with him and kiss the little saru furiously.
Which he would, if Gojyo wasn't pretending to sleep and the two persons outside the room would just go away.
Goku beamed a big smile for Konzen. He likes this man even if they had only met for three days. (AN: If you only knew, Goku. If you only knew.) He would have picked some flowers for Sanzo too, but the first and last time he did, Sanzo only grunted and refused to take his gift.
Outside, Sanzo's jealously was soaring as high as the sky. How humiliating! Sanzo thought that Goku wanted to look for him, but no... Goku wanted to visit his 'new' lover instead. Sanzo stormed off, leaving Hakkai to stare blankly.
Other from his jealously, there was a tint of loneliness hidden within. Sanzo didn't realize it until Konzen's appearance. Having Goku's attention all to himself was the cure for his loneliness. Ironically, Sanzo never felt it until Goku stopped placing him in the number one spot.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~
"Honto???!?!" Goku asked with visible drool on the corner of his mouth. "WAH!!!!" He quickly grabbed the menu and started ordering everything on it times ten.
"Eh? What occasion are we celebrating, oh great Sanzo-sama?" It's not that Gojyo doesn't like the idea of using Sanzo's credit card freely. The monk had announced that Goku could order all the food he wants. It was like a dream come true for the lucky little saru.
"Urusai!" Sanzo crossed his arms. He knows he was going to spoil Goku like this, but what better way to win Goku's affection than to let him eat all he wants? Sitting on Goku's other side was Konzen. They exchanged icy glares when Goku had his head buried inside the menu.
When the dishes came, Goku immediately attacked his food and made an attempt to break his record of the amount of food he can consume.
Of course, Gojyo and Goku were fighting for the last spring roll and it stopped when Hakkai ate it. Next came the arguing which both of them received a smack on the head with Sanzo's paper fan. And finally, Sanzo did the last part, which was to shoot at either Gojyo or Goku.
[Kuso.] Sanzo thought in disappointment as the second bullet missed Konzen. He needs to practice and sharpens his aiming.
Konzen was obvious to Sanzo's attempt murders. He decided to make Sanzo pay for trying to shoot a high ranked god like him. "Goku."
The monkey turned to him. "Nani?" He smiled innocently and didn't notice Konzen leaning forward. Before Sanzo could do anything, Konzen had already kissed Goku. Well, that's what Sanzo, Hakkai and Gojyo thought.
Konzen moved away to reveal a red-faced Goku. "There was some rice stuck on your chin."
Sanzo added another reason to his long list of 'why Konzen must die painfully'.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~
Finally! They are alone. Hakkai and Gojyo had 'volunteered' to bring Konzen along to buy some groceries, even though the man turned down their offer and refused to leave Goku's side. Konzen was dragged out struggling and shouting for Goku.
The room stayed quiet. Normally, Goku loves to be alone with Sanzo but he didn't have the same feeling today. Instead, he was jumpy and a little scared. The silence was killing him. He stood up and headed for the door.
Sanzo was reading the newspaper. Well, not really. He was waiting for the saru to start a useless conversation like he usually does. Getting fed-up of waiting, Sanzo looked up from his newspaper to see Goku tiptoeing towards the door. "Oi."
"Eh??" Not expecting to be caught in the act, Goku quickly turned around.
*THUD* Somehow, Goku manages to tangle up his legs and fell clumsily forward onto the floor. His head smacked the solid floor with a loud thud.
"Baka." Putting down his newspaper, Sanzo muttered. He did not make any attempt to move.
"Ah! Itai yo..." Goku got up on two legs again. He pouted and rubbed the big red bump on his forehead. There were tears in the brim of his golden eyes.
Sanzo sighed. "Come here." Being an obedient pet, Goku slowly walked towards Sanzo's chair. When he was close enough, Sanzo touched his forehead lightly and made him winced. "Where were you going?" There was a hint of annoyance in Sanzo's voice.
"The kitchen..." If Goku was lying, he'll make a good actor one day. He tried to push Sanzo's hand away from his forehead. "Don't touch me. It hurts." He grumbled.
"Urusai. If I don't do this, you won't get any better. Ch', learn to be grateful, saru." Even with his cold words, Sanzo continued to rub tenderly on Goku's swollen forehead. Little did they know; the distance between them became shorter and shorter as minutes pass by.
Goku placed one of his hand on Sanzo's shoulder and leaned his head a bit closer so Sanzo won't have a hard time treating his forehead. "Do you like that Konzen guy?" Sanzo asked suddenly, trying to hide the jealous tone when saying Konzen's name.
Hearing the name of his new friend, Goku smiled. His smile was like a needle poking Sanzo's eyes. "Um." Goku nodded happily. He likes Konzen. Of course, he likes Hakkai, (maybe) Gojyo and Hakuryu too. Sanzo was more than 'like' to him.
Goku winced again. Why did Sanzo suddenly rubbed his forehead with so much force?
"Don't go near Konzen." Sanzo can't hide his jealousy anymore. Goku belongs to him! Not some stranger who looked like him!
"Eh?" There was disappointment in Goku's voice. Sanzo is his guardian, his master, his everything. Goku would never disobey him. But this was an exception. "Why?"
[Because he's a stranger and we don't know him. Because he might be dangerous. Because I don't like him. Because I lov-] Whoa there! Sanzo stopped himself just in time. The boy was still waiting for his answer. "Because I said so."
Goku's brown eyebrows tighten into a knot and he lowered his view. Sanzo waited for him to agree. The saru was still in this position after a while. Just as Sanzo was about to take out his paper fan, Goku eyes widen and he bolted for the door.
"KONZEN!!!" He yelled happily with a big smile, totally forgetting what Sanzo said earlier. Konzen shifted the paper bags onto his other hand so he could pet Goku with his fee hand.
"Did you miss me, Goku?" A small smile appeared on Konzen's face as the saru nodded.
"Oi! What the-" Gojyo stumbled backwards as Sanzo rushed out of the room with a very scary and angry expression on his face. The monk disappeared as he turned around the corner. Question marks appeared on Gojyo's head. "What's with him?"
Goku blinked innocently and shrugged. He really don't understand Sanzo sometimes.
"I've bought some meat buns for you." Konzen gave Goku the paper bag he was carrying.
"Hah! I knew it!" Goku beamed and took the paper bag that was filled with steamy hot buns. "Sank you!" He could smell meat buns even if it was ten miles away.
End Of Chapter two
AN: *Blink* *blink* Wow, that's a darn lot of reviews. ^___^ Even more surprising, my favourite authors reviewed (You know who you are)! I've already finished reading every fic in the Saiyuki section and I have to say, there are so many good and cool fics!! (Although I didn't reviewed them... *Bad NigHtEyeZ, BAD!*)
Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday and Merry Christmas to you guys too!! And for a Christmas gift, I give to you... this fic!! (Since I'm poor and currently broke. =_= ;) I'm really sorry about those grammar mistakes in the last chapter!!
I'm afraid the starting part of this fic confused everyone. Here's a short explanation:
Goku is missing and Konzen is searching franticly for him. Tenpou found a spell book (god knows where he gets it) and he used it to... send Konzen 500 years into the future to find Goku. Konzen found the 'future' Goku and decided to bring him back after two weeks when the spell wears off. Sanzo/Konzen have no idea that they were dealing with their past/future self. (Even though it's so obvious)
-_-;; I'm making it even confusing... I hate myself. I really do think chapter two is a failure. Stupid writers block. =_=; Did anyone notice that there's no plot here? Well, thanks again for reading my fic. I love Genjo Sanzo!!!! Would you review as my Christmas present? Please? *Shinning simmering eyes*

He thrusts the violet coloured flowers in front of Konzen while blushing madly. Goku lowered his head in case the man refused to take his gift. Just like Sanzo. Goku felt his hand emptied and he also felt a hand patting his head. He lifted his head to stare at Konzen with wide eyes.
"Thanks." Even with red lines formed on his cheeks, Konzen continues to pat Goku's head. That's one of the two things he felt like doing now. Well, the other was to pull Goku onto the bed with him and kiss the little saru furiously.
Which he would, if Gojyo wasn't pretending to sleep and the two persons outside the room would just go away.
Goku beamed a big smile for Konzen. He likes this man even if they had only met for three days. (AN: If you only knew, Goku. If you only knew.) He would have picked some flowers for Sanzo too, but the first and last time he did, Sanzo only grunted and refused to take his gift.
Outside, Sanzo's jealously was soaring as high as the sky. How humiliating! Sanzo thought that Goku wanted to look for him, but no... Goku wanted to visit his 'new' lover instead. Sanzo stormed off, leaving Hakkai to stare blankly.
Other from his jealously, there was a tint of loneliness hidden within. Sanzo didn't realize it until Konzen's appearance. Having Goku's attention all to himself was the cure for his loneliness. Ironically, Sanzo never felt it until Goku stopped placing him in the number one spot.

"Honto???!?!" Goku asked with visible drool on the corner of his mouth. "WAH!!!!" He quickly grabbed the menu and started ordering everything on it times ten.
"Eh? What occasion are we celebrating, oh great Sanzo-sama?" It's not that Gojyo doesn't like the idea of using Sanzo's credit card freely. The monk had announced that Goku could order all the food he wants. It was like a dream come true for the lucky little saru.
"Urusai!" Sanzo crossed his arms. He knows he was going to spoil Goku like this, but what better way to win Goku's affection than to let him eat all he wants? Sitting on Goku's other side was Konzen. They exchanged icy glares when Goku had his head buried inside the menu.
When the dishes came, Goku immediately attacked his food and made an attempt to break his record of the amount of food he can consume.
Of course, Gojyo and Goku were fighting for the last spring roll and it stopped when Hakkai ate it. Next came the arguing which both of them received a smack on the head with Sanzo's paper fan. And finally, Sanzo did the last part, which was to shoot at either Gojyo or Goku.
[Kuso.] Sanzo thought in disappointment as the second bullet missed Konzen. He needs to practice and sharpens his aiming.
Konzen was obvious to Sanzo's attempt murders. He decided to make Sanzo pay for trying to shoot a high ranked god like him. "Goku."
The monkey turned to him. "Nani?" He smiled innocently and didn't notice Konzen leaning forward. Before Sanzo could do anything, Konzen had already kissed Goku. Well, that's what Sanzo, Hakkai and Gojyo thought.
Konzen moved away to reveal a red-faced Goku. "There was some rice stuck on your chin."
Sanzo added another reason to his long list of 'why Konzen must die painfully'.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~
Finally! They are alone. Hakkai and Gojyo had 'volunteered' to bring Konzen along to buy some groceries, even though the man turned down their offer and refused to leave Goku's side. Konzen was dragged out struggling and shouting for Goku.
The room stayed quiet. Normally, Goku loves to be alone with Sanzo but he didn't have the same feeling today. Instead, he was jumpy and a little scared. The silence was killing him. He stood up and headed for the door.
Sanzo was reading the newspaper. Well, not really. He was waiting for the saru to start a useless conversation like he usually does. Getting fed-up of waiting, Sanzo looked up from his newspaper to see Goku tiptoeing towards the door. "Oi."
"Eh??" Not expecting to be caught in the act, Goku quickly turned around.
*THUD* Somehow, Goku manages to tangle up his legs and fell clumsily forward onto the floor. His head smacked the solid floor with a loud thud.
"Baka." Putting down his newspaper, Sanzo muttered. He did not make any attempt to move.
"Ah! Itai yo..." Goku got up on two legs again. He pouted and rubbed the big red bump on his forehead. There were tears in the brim of his golden eyes.
Sanzo sighed. "Come here." Being an obedient pet, Goku slowly walked towards Sanzo's chair. When he was close enough, Sanzo touched his forehead lightly and made him winced. "Where were you going?" There was a hint of annoyance in Sanzo's voice.
"The kitchen..." If Goku was lying, he'll make a good actor one day. He tried to push Sanzo's hand away from his forehead. "Don't touch me. It hurts." He grumbled.
"Urusai. If I don't do this, you won't get any better. Ch', learn to be grateful, saru." Even with his cold words, Sanzo continued to rub tenderly on Goku's swollen forehead. Little did they know; the distance between them became shorter and shorter as minutes pass by.
Goku placed one of his hand on Sanzo's shoulder and leaned his head a bit closer so Sanzo won't have a hard time treating his forehead. "Do you like that Konzen guy?" Sanzo asked suddenly, trying to hide the jealous tone when saying Konzen's name.
Hearing the name of his new friend, Goku smiled. His smile was like a needle poking Sanzo's eyes. "Um." Goku nodded happily. He likes Konzen. Of course, he likes Hakkai, (maybe) Gojyo and Hakuryu too. Sanzo was more than 'like' to him.
Goku winced again. Why did Sanzo suddenly rubbed his forehead with so much force?
"Don't go near Konzen." Sanzo can't hide his jealousy anymore. Goku belongs to him! Not some stranger who looked like him!
"Eh?" There was disappointment in Goku's voice. Sanzo is his guardian, his master, his everything. Goku would never disobey him. But this was an exception. "Why?"
[Because he's a stranger and we don't know him. Because he might be dangerous. Because I don't like him. Because I lov-] Whoa there! Sanzo stopped himself just in time. The boy was still waiting for his answer. "Because I said so."
Goku's brown eyebrows tighten into a knot and he lowered his view. Sanzo waited for him to agree. The saru was still in this position after a while. Just as Sanzo was about to take out his paper fan, Goku eyes widen and he bolted for the door.
"KONZEN!!!" He yelled happily with a big smile, totally forgetting what Sanzo said earlier. Konzen shifted the paper bags onto his other hand so he could pet Goku with his fee hand.
"Did you miss me, Goku?" A small smile appeared on Konzen's face as the saru nodded.
"Oi! What the-" Gojyo stumbled backwards as Sanzo rushed out of the room with a very scary and angry expression on his face. The monk disappeared as he turned around the corner. Question marks appeared on Gojyo's head. "What's with him?"
Goku blinked innocently and shrugged. He really don't understand Sanzo sometimes.
"I've bought some meat buns for you." Konzen gave Goku the paper bag he was carrying.
"Hah! I knew it!" Goku beamed and took the paper bag that was filled with steamy hot buns. "Sank you!" He could smell meat buns even if it was ten miles away.
End Of Chapter two
AN: *Blink* *blink* Wow, that's a darn lot of reviews. ^___^ Even more surprising, my favourite authors reviewed (You know who you are)! I've already finished reading every fic in the Saiyuki section and I have to say, there are so many good and cool fics!! (Although I didn't reviewed them... *Bad NigHtEyeZ, BAD!*)
Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday and Merry Christmas to you guys too!! And for a Christmas gift, I give to you... this fic!! (Since I'm poor and currently broke. =_= ;) I'm really sorry about those grammar mistakes in the last chapter!!
I'm afraid the starting part of this fic confused everyone. Here's a short explanation:
Goku is missing and Konzen is searching franticly for him. Tenpou found a spell book (god knows where he gets it) and he used it to... send Konzen 500 years into the future to find Goku. Konzen found the 'future' Goku and decided to bring him back after two weeks when the spell wears off. Sanzo/Konzen have no idea that they were dealing with their past/future self. (Even though it's so obvious)
-_-;; I'm making it even confusing... I hate myself. I really do think chapter two is a failure. Stupid writers block. =_=; Did anyone notice that there's no plot here? Well, thanks again for reading my fic. I love Genjo Sanzo!!!! Would you review as my Christmas present? Please? *Shinning simmering eyes*
