Chapter 3: STRIKE ONE
Gojyo's POV
I've been staring at the ceiling for who knows when, my mind in a whirl of thoughts. I've been going through the plan in my head and its fool proof enough. In my judgment of course.
I flicked the cigarette I was holding and lit another one. The truth is that I'm a nervous wreck. This false bravado I was putting up was for the sake of the saru. Of course, if I was to crumble to pieces then the saru would be doubtful about my plan too.
I don't want that to happen. This plan rides entirely on the saru and my performance. A slight hitch in the acting and its all over. I looked sideways to my companion who was also staring at the ceiling. I was startled when he suddenly talked. Without removing his eyes on the ceiling of course.
"Ne, Gojyo? What are we looking for in the ceiling?" He asked innocently. A vein popped in my temple.
"Baka saru! I'm not looking for anything! I'm thinking!" He turns to me a wide smile on his face.
"Thinking? You've got a brain?! I thought you don't have one! Hahahahaha...."
"Urusei, baka saru!" I turned my back on him and ordered sake from a nearby waitress.
"Gojyo! I'm bored! Were here for so long! And what about the plan? You've told me only little!" I scratched my head getting really annoyed. Why am I pairing up with the saru of all people? He's the most irritating and dumb person I've ever met!
"Ahhhhh! You're giving me the headache!"
"You're giving me one too!" He shouted back. He stood up scraping his chair as he did so, his fists raised in the air urging me to fight him.
"Saru! Sit down or I won't include you in this!" I told him warningly. Grumpily, he sits down again, a pout marring his face.
"Okay. Tell me the plan already. And when are we going to start? We've been sitting here for the whole day! I'm getting really, really bored!"
"Stop your whining! And keep your voice down! It's so goddamned loud!" He rolled his eyes.
"Let's go over it again shall we?" I told him. He nodded up and down vigorously.
"So, we wait here until Sanzo and Hakkai arrives." I took a long drag from my cigarette, a shiver down my spine because of the anticipation.
"What if they don't come?" Goku asks his wide, golden eyes full of worry. I looked at him irritably. Didn't he trust my cunning?
"They will. I've already covered that part."
"Covered?"
"Ahhhhh.. You're so frustrating you know that?" He stuck his tongue at me.
"So to answer your stupid question, they will come, because this is the only decent restaurant in town. Sanzo-sama is so picky about his food and they haven't had dinner." I explained to him thoroughly so that his thick monkey brain could absorb it. He scrunches his forehead in concentration.
"Ahhhh!!!! I forgot!" He suddenly screamed out loud.
"What? What is it?" I asked surprised. Have I overlooked something?
"I haven't eaten dinner yet! And I'm hungry!" My fist made contact with his head.
"Baka saru! Can't you think of anything besides food?" I ask him irritably. He sobers up and looked down.
"Sanzo." Oh great. I've made the sari sad. Just great.
"Forget about it. He'll be thinking about you in no time if you participate nicely in this plan." He nods.
"Okay. So when they come here, I'll treat you dinner."
"Honto?!! You're so great Gojyo!" He said clapping his hands in delight.
"Uhuh. So you stuff your little face with us much food as you can and let me handle the rest."
"Huh? That's all I've got to do? Eat? Are you sure?" I nodded.
"Yes. And whatever I do just go with it okay? Remember we are just acting." I butted the cigarette and looked at the door. Good they aren't here yet. I haven't calmed my frazzled nerves yet. Better do it now I guess.
I breathed in deeply a few times, calming my self. The truth is that I don't want to tell Goku about the intimate part. He might get all nervous and act all dumbly. I think its better he doesn't know anything. Let me do all the acting...
My head snaps at the door when it opened. Sanzo and Hakkai came strolling in looking normal. Normal as in Sanzo is grumpy and Hakkai all polite and smiling to the other customers.
I shifted position and put my arms around Goku. Then in a loud, booming voice.
"Goku! Order all the food you want! It's on me!"
"Yay! Yosh!!! Miss, I would like to have some shrimp dumplings, meat buns, fried rice......." I smiled at him, all the while avoiding the monk's bemused look.
"Are you going to treat us too?" Hakkai asks as the two of them sits opposite Goku and me. I pretended to act surprised.
"When did you get here? I didn't notice you." Sanzo gestured at Goku.
"Of course you didn't notice. You had your eyes elsewhere." I smiled.
"Sorry. And to answer your question, Hakkai, I can't treat you either cause this little ape is plenty enough to clean out my entire savings."
"Really? Then why are you treating him?" Sanzo asks his brow rose in question.
"He's worth it anyway." I tightened the hold on Goku's shoulders and squeezed it tightly. He stiffened under my hold. Damn! Afraid that he might cause more trouble for me, I pulled him to me in half hug, me nuzzling his neck as I whispered, 'Its all in the plan. Act cool okay?' He nodded stiffly and put on his most bright smile and pulled from me.
"Ne, Gojyo? Can I order more?" I nodded and reveled in the frozen smiles of Hakkai and the death glare of Sanzo.
"Yes?" I asked. Hakkai blinked a few times before answering.
"Nothing." Goku's order came and he ate it as fast as he could. Although I'm hungry myself, I didn't eat. I entertained myself by putting an intimate arm around Goku, wiping his mouth every now and then and laughing at his stupidity. Of course I'm also quite entertained by Sanzo and Hakkai. They're turning green fast. But I don't think it from jealousy though.....
What's wrong with what I'm doing? Maybe I'm running short. Sanzo and Hakkai excused themselves. Getting panicked that I haven't done anything right. I pulled Goku in for a kiss. Pretending of course, that I didn't notice their departure.
Goku literally froze, his mouth hanging open; I took the opportunity to let my tongue in. I was vaguely aware that Hakkai and Sanzo were watching us with flabbergasted expressions on their faces. I let my hands roam around his body, Goku finally shifted violently and my hand slipped on his crotch. That's when he lost it.
"AHHHHHH!!! RAPE!!!! RAPE!!!! LET GO OF ME!!!" Goku yelled at the top of his lungs. He threw me on the floor and he stands up a wild expression on his face. All around the customers laughed merrily while Hakkai took Goku's wrist and looked at me disgustingly.
"Shame on you, Gojyo! Goku is just a kid." With that he dragged Goku with him in a huff. Sanzo leered down on me.
"Serves you right." Then with a flourish he turned and walked away. I could feel my face heating up with embarrassment and rage.
"BAKA SARU!!!!"
Goku's POV
As soon as we, Hakkai, Sanzo and I entered the inn, Hakkai released his hold on me and looked concerned.
"Are you okay, Goku?" I nodded, not really looking him in the eyes. I'm still sore with him and I can't forgive him that easily. He's the one who took Sanzo away from me anyway in the first place and he's the reason why Sanzo hurt me too.
Hakkai just hung his head. Probably in defeat and who knows what. Of course I knew he's fond of me as a little brother but.....
"Goku have I done anything wrong? You've been avoiding me." He asked. I turned my back on him and went up the stairs bound to my room.
"I'm going to sleep now." I said without answering his question.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I entered my room not bothering to turn on the lights. I was so depressed; sleep was all I could think of. Besides I think I goofed up big time in Gojyo's plan. But I think it was lousy anyways. And also I think he was starting to get serious too. I mean he did.... I gulped to myself not wanting to think of it anymore.
I removed my armor and dressed in my sleeping clothes. As I plopped on the bed I made contact with something hard. I lifted the sheets and I was face to face with something with red eyes.
"MONSTER!!!" I screamed. I was really surprised when the eyes started to glow bloody red.
"AHHHHH!!!" I shouted again. But this time a hand clamped on my mouth muting my scream. Then I heard my captor hushing me down.
"Saru! Do you want to be caught?" Ah, so it was Gojyo after all. I calmed down to show him I recognized him. As soon as he released me he hit me.
"ITAI! What was that for?" I ask him while rubbing my head. He hit me again and again.
"This one is for the humiliation, this one is for wrecking my plan.... This one is for soiling my virgin hands....." He finally stopped, his breath in short ragged gasps.
"You happy now?" I ask him slowly.
"NO! But at least I'm not so angry anymore."
"What was that anyway? It was the lousiest plan I've ever seen!" I told him while I lay on the bed. He peered down on me, smirking.
"It wouldn't be so lousy if you'd gone along with it."
"Che. I thought you were getting serious! I was just...."
"Afraid? Oh come on saru! I wouldn't do that to you. Besides you're not my type."
"You're not my type either." I told him rolling on to my belly looking at him directly.
"Are you sure? You were really getting serious, you know?" I asked him innocently.
"Baka saru! I rather kiss a corpse than you! Beside I think it was the grossest thing I've ever done!" I threw him a pillow.
"So what do we do?" I ask Gojyo.
"I haven't think of it yet. But I will...." I put up my hand to stop him.
"I'll do the planning. You might be planning something gross again."
"Oh, so you're mocking my plan?" I raised my brows at him.
"I'm not mocking it. I'm saying it sucks! Big time!" He threw me the pillow, as he stood up and made his way to the exit.
"Okay saru. I'll wait for it. It better work though." He said as he closed the door behind him. I hid a smile. Of course it will.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up with a smile on my face. After a good night's sleep and a lot of pondering, I have thought of something that might break the two apart.
If I only I knew what their weaknesses are, then I'd be able to start right away. But because of certain circumstances I'm left with the option to spy for a few days or until I learn what they are.
I went down the kitchen to find the three of them already there.
"Ohayou!" I called out, sitting on my usual sit. I noticed that Hakkai was glaring at Gojyo every now and then. It was probably because of yesterday. Poor Gojyo. I have to make up for it.
"Are you okay now, Goku?" Hakkai asks me. I smile at him. Despite what I'm feeling, still sore with Hakkai and unable to forgive him, I think its best to at least act all buddy-buddy with him. This is because of my plan after all.
"Yes! It was just but a distant nightmare." I said happily while munching on some bread.
"Sanzo before we go, I'll have to go to town to but some supplies." Hakkai said as he stood up. I stood up as well.
"I'll go to. I'll help you." I said. Sanzo nodded and handed Hakkai the credit card.
"Don't buy whatever Goku asks you to." He said as we disappear from their sight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm so glad you're back to your usual genki self." Hakkai said as he bustled around town getting our stuff ready. I nodded and flashed him a fake smile.
"Uhuh. Sorry for acting like a jerk on you yesterday. I was just feeling bad." I said to him. He nodded, understanding.
"Its okay. We all have our bad moments." He said as he petted Hakuryu.
"You really like Hakuryu don't you?" I ask him getting an idea.
"Yes. Hakuryu's very important to me. We've been best buddies since I met him. Right Hakuryu?"
"Kyu." Hakuryu kyued in reply.
"Hahaha. Why are you asking me that suddenly?" I shook my head.
"Nothing. It's just that you're always together."
"Yeah. I wouldn't want it any other way. I'd be extremely lonely if Hakuryu's gone." Hakkai said as he stroked his pet again.
"I see." I said as my eyes glinted under my bangs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've been watching Sanzo since breakfast, which was hard cause a lot of times he caught me staring at him and I have to come up with a series of excuse to avert his attention again. I've noticed something though. He smokes every after meal. He smokes if he is agitated. He smokes if he's irritated. He smokes even if he's doing nothing. In short he's always smoking. Either that or he's reading his newspaper.
I think I've hit the jackpot. I thought to myself as I rubbed my hands together. I think its time for act two!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up early. Earlier than everybody else. I want to see how this goes along. I plopped at a chair and looked at the clock. 7:55 am. It wouldn't be long now, I thought to myself.
I made a countdown. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....
"HAKURYU!!!!!" Hakkai yelled at the top of his lungs. I snickered. I heard footsteps and another voice. It was Gojyo.
"Hakkai, what is it?" He asks urgently. They came bounding down and I stood up my face all worried and concerned.
"Hakkai, what happened?" Then from behind him he whipped Hakuryu. I had to stifle a laugh.
"He's bald! Someone shaved him!!! Oh, Hakuryu....." Hakkai said as he strokes his pet gently on his now- bald head. He looks disgusting, actually. Think of something along the lines of 'plucked chicken' and you'll have an idea of how Hakuryu looks like.
"Kyu." It kyued pitifully. Sanzo came bounding down looking murderous.
"Where's my cigarettes?!!!" He asked as he picked Gojyo by his shirt.
"What? What are you talking about?" Gojyo asks, getting confused.
"My cigarettes all gone and you're the only one I know who smokes! Maybe you ran out of it and took mine, you stealer!" Sanzo raged.
"I didn't take them okay?!" Gojyo pushed Sanzo back. Everything was in chaos. Then Hakkai gasped.
"Sanzo what's that?" He asked as he took a closer look at Sanzo.
"What?" Sanzo asks irritably.
"THIS IS HAKURYU"S FUR!!!" He raged as he picked some white hair on Sanzo's robes.
"What the?!!" I stifle a giggle as another chaos broke loose.
