Journey To His Heart
Chapter Two: An Unexpected Enemy
Goku glared at Gojyo as the jeep took another turn. "You stupid ero kappa! You ate the last pork bun which was mine!"
"Oh? And how'd you know it was yours? You had your name written on it?"
"You can't write your name on a pork bun!"
"So what? The point is, I got it and you didn't."
"Kono ero kappa!"
"Urusai, chibi saru."
"I'm not a monkey!"
"Oh?! Really? You could have fooled me!"
"You owe me a pork bun when we stop in the next town, kono yaro!"
"Nani?"
"And not only that, you owe me two pork buns!"
"Why the hell would I owe you anything?!"
"'Coz I'm starving!"
"Then complain to Sanzo about that, not me, kono 'aho."
Blink. Then, "Ne, Sanzo-"
"URUSAI!!!!" WHACK! WHACK!
"Ite~ what the hell was that for, Sanzo?!"
"Oi, you corrupted monk! Why'd you hit ME too?!"
Hakkai tried to lighten the mood. "Maa, maa, let's all just calm down and-"
"Mou! It's all your fault, you ero kappa! Now Sanzo won't stop for lunch!"
"Nani?! When'd it become my fault? YOU'RE the one who's making all the noise, baka saru!"
"Was not!"
"Was to!"
"Was not!"
"Was to!"
"Uh, guys, could we please calm down and not fight like-"
"Kono ero kappa!"
"Kono baka saru!"
"Baka, baka, baka, baka...!!"
"Nani, saru?!"
Hakkai sighed and concentrated on the road. "Well, I tried..."
Goku pointed a finger at Gojyo. "If we don't stop for lunch, I swear that I'll murder you by tonight!"
"Oh? Is that a challenge, saru? I accept!"
"Hah! Enjoy your life while you have it, kappa! You won't be smiling for long!"
"Say that to yourself, monkey-brain!"
"Nandato?!"
"Hah! You wanna fight now?!"
"Bring it on!"
Sanzo's patience finally snapped. In a movement too fast to be seen or expected by both Goku and Gojyo, Sanzo place the tip of his Shou-Re-Jyu on Goku's head and murmured dangerously, "One more word out of your mouth about being hungry and shit, I will personally lock you up in a cellar and see to it you don't eat for a millennium."
At first, Goku thought that Sanzo was bluffing, but when he saw the dark look obscuring the monk's features, he knew that Sanzo was serious. Goku swallowed nervously and sat down, bowing his head as he twiddled his thumbs. No other sounds came from him.
Goyjo grinned like a maniac. "Haha, serves you ri-" He stopped as the gun of Sanzo made contact with his temple.
In the same, dangerous tone, Sanzo gave Gojyo a bone-chilling look. "One more word out of your fucking mouth and I will make sure to spread a rumor about you so bad that no woman, child or man would want to spend the night with you. Do I make myself clear?"
Gojyo swallowed and sat down like Goku, twiddling his hands as he looked at his feet.
Sanzo sat down again and place his Shou-Re-Jyu back into his back pocket as he extracted his lighter and lit a cigarette.
Hakkai smiled at the road as he commented, "Ah...how peaceful..."
Sanzo snorted and leaned back against the car seat as he muttered, "Don't count on it to last."
True enough, in exactly 5 minutes, the peace was broken again, and the cycle went on and on with Sanzo giving around 5 whacks on the two troublemaker's heads with his paper fan.
* * * * * *
Goku entered the room he was going to share with Sanzo hastily and dropped on the bed located at the right side, letting out a stream of chuckles as he rolled around the bed like a worm, his body changing to chibi-form. "Wai!! It's so soft, Sanzo! Ah! I'm so full! I think I can die in peace now...Nya...." He giggled again and started rolling around his bed, feeling as if he was on a feather. He grabbed the pillow by his head and hugged it to his body as he continued to roll around, taking his vest and cloak off in the process. Uncaring, he threw them around the room, still in his happy-go-lucky state as he continued emitted 'kyan' and 'nya' noises, making the young man who stood by the door arch an eyebrow at his roommate.
Sighing, Sanzo got his sutra out from his back jean pocket and threw it down on his bed as he started rummaging through his other pockets; pack of cigarettes, lighter, the gold card, a bunch of coins and bills, his paper fan... He sweat dropped at the pile. How the hell he managed to keep them all in his jean pockets and vest was beyond his comprehension. Tiredly, he pushed all the things to one side and fell on his bed, closing his eyes as he place one hand over his face to block the rays of the sun from the window. It was noon, the sun was hot, and they had just finished eating lunch. It was the perfect time to sleep, despite the racket a certain monkey was making. That in mind, Sanzo relaxed and concentrated on slipping away from reality and into dreamland.
Goku finally stopped his wormy-escapades and turned to face Sanzo. "Ne, ne, Sanzo-!" He stopped short when he noticed the blonde's closed eyes and even breathing. Cautiously and carefully, he got down from his bed and walked over to Sanzo's, his feet barely making any sound as it made contact with the wood. When he was beside Sanzo, Goku leaned in and watched the play of emotions over his master's face: Calm and peaceful...Sanzo almost never had those expressions on his face when he was awake, so it was only during moments like these that Goku could feel whatever Sanzo felt seeping in through his own mind and body. He smiled softly as he continued to watch Sanzo, the wind blowing gently through the window.
Sanzo sort of dozed off, but when he came back to himself, he felt that someone was right beside him. Smirking mentally, he knew exactly who it was and pretended to sleep anyway, wanting to see what the chibi saru would do.
For a few minutes, no one moved and nothing happened. Goku's position shifted from leaning down to sitting on the space beside Sanzo, his arm on the side of Sanzo's arm. He continued gazing at his master, marveling at how beautiful he seemed and how much he liked the monk. Then, unconsciously, Goku cupped the side of Sanzo's face, noting how shaky his hand was. His heart was thumping erratically against his chest as he leaned down, his eyes never leaving Sanzo's pale lips. Just one kiss...I don't think there's anything bad with doing that...He's asleep anyway...So, just one kiss won't hurt.
Sanzo felt the warm pressure of Goku's hand on his cheek and felt his heart jump at the cool contact. Then, when he felt warm air dance across his lips, he knew what the saru planned to do and waited, his own lips parting slightly as his hands clenched themselves.
Goku' lips hovered above Sanzo's, closed in, their lips grazing each others-
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!! TASUKETE!!!!!!!"
Abruptly, Goku jumped away from Sanzo in surprise and he landed on his backside hard, crying out in pain. Sanzo's form leapt off the bed, his eyes wild and posture taut as he tried hard not to go towards Goku and kiss the brainless saru for all that he was worth. Damn it! Just when he thought he could make his move and show Goku that he was interested in him too, a stupid wench had to ruin the moment with her scream. Damn her! Damn everything to hell that chose this moment of all moments to interrupt Goku. He ran a hand through his hair, muttering curses under his breath.
Goku, in turn, was stunned at what he was just about to do and felt himself blush hard. He didn't know whether to be thankful for the interruption or angry. His legs felt like jelly, and his heartbeat as ringing in his ears as he stared up at Sanzo's sexy profile.
Noticing that Goku's face was beet red and staring at him, Sanzo gave him a confused look and tried to sound cool as he pushed his wants and needs out the window. "What are you doing on the floor? Get up."
Goku stared at the blonde for a while, his mouth hanging open as crazy thoughts started running through his brain, but when he noticed Sanzo's penetrating gaze, he nodded, licked his lips and exited the room at once.
Sanzo cursed as he grabbed his Shou-Re-Jyu and sutra. If only his being shy about taking the initiative wasn't intact, he could have made a move of Goku a long time ago, but no..., the stupid personality chose to remain pretty strong in situations such as these. He opened the door and charged down, hoping to get this battle over with so that Goku would have the guts to do what he was about to do.
When he reached the main floor, he saw Goku, Hakkai and Gojyo all standing idle by the entrance of the inn and felt his irritation rise. What?! Don't they want to get this over with as quickly as possible?! He made his way out and glared at them as he shifted his gaze. "Why are you all-" He caught sight of the enemy, and felt his eyes become big.
There was a big monster that resembled an octopus mixed with a spider, and it currently had 3 people in its claws, 2 dead and one alive. Its mouth was foaming and blood dribbled from the side as it roared up to the sky. It was strong; Sanzo knew that, just as everyone present knew it. But that wasn't why Sanzo and the others stopped and stared. No...The monster may have killed the people, but Sanzo's eyes were focused on the person beside the beast; the one who controlled the actions of this creature...
Kanzeon Bosatsu.
