Goku yawned, stretching his arms up as he walked over to Jiipu.. "Na! How long are we going to travel today, Hakkai?"
"Pretty far." Hakkai entered Jiipu. "We'll be eating lunch on the road."
Goku shrugged and leapt onto Jiipu. It didn't matter where he would eat, as long as he WOULD eat. He turned and called. "Oi, Ero Kappa! Hayaku!"
"Teme, saru. I'm not in a good mood." Gojyo approached Jiipu last and sat beside Goku.
"Didn't get a good sleep, Gojyo?" Hakkai smiled at the man.
Gojyo twitched a smile. "More likely a restless one. But I had a wonderful dream."
Goku showed disgust upon seeing the tired smile. "Ewww, Eroooooo~"
"I never thought sleeping with women in reality feels the same as sleeping with women in dreams. It felt so real." Gojyo enjoyed Goku's disgusted noises. The attempt to annoy the boy was successful.
"Is everyone ready?" Hakkai turned to Sanzo who was looking at the town. "Sanzo?"
"Nani?" Sanzo turned to Hakkai interrupted from his thoughts. He saw the smile and returned to looking back at the town while Hakkai started the engines and drove off.
They were going to leave the town, a mystery unsolved. Whether or not they can rest peacefully, Sanzo doesn't know.
And whether or not there IS a mystery...Sanzo doesn't know...
*****
Jiipu stayed put beside a shop. It was afternoon.
"Yareyare desu ne, Gojyo." Hakkai left the building carrying a bag of goodies. He smiled at the man leaning against the wall. "I saw a lot of women inside, buying. I thought you might be--Gojyo?" He blinked.
Gojyo looked weak. He leaned heavily against the wall, eyes closed and chest going up and down faster than usual.
"Gojyo, are you having a hard time breathing?" Hakkai hurriedly settled the bag of groceries in Jiipu and came to Gojyo's aide, listening to him pant.
"I feel dizzy...demo, lying on the saru's lap disgusts me." Gojyo gave Hakkai a tired look. "Soshite, my body hurts all over. It started from the wound."
"The wound?" Hakkai blinked. "Demo, I closed this last night." He held the wound lightly and heard Gojyo hiss and saw him move. He retrieved his hand before Gojyo could anymore be hurt. "Gojyo?"
Gojyo wanted to grab the wall to ease the pain his face so visibly shows.
"Daijoubu ka, Gojyo?" Hakkai moved to hold Gojyo's forehead but the red- haired man slapped his hand away causing him confusion.
"Don't." Gojyo said. "It, itai yo...desuka...!"
"Itai...?!" Hakkai gasped. He turned to see Sanzo and Goku leaving the shop. "Minna--"
"Ikuzo." Sanzo said and headed off to Jiipu with Goku following him while carrying another bag of goods.
Gojyo smirked despite his pain. "Sanzo-sama, sounds like he needs excretion badly."
Annoyed, Sanzo revealed his harisen and hit it on Gojyo's head, not in the mood for a full-force slam.
However, Gojyo's knees had weaken from the hit and he had fallen down the ground heavily, face first.
"Gojyo!!" Hakkai called.
"Na, Sanzo! That was strong!" Goku turned to the surprised monk.
"Iiya...I didn't even smash it on him..." Either way, Sanzo knew Gojyo wouldn't completely fall like that. *Nani...kore?* He was baffled.
"Daijobu desuka?!" Hakkai assisted Gojyo to a stand who used the half-blind man as support.
"Shimata," Gojyo uttered. "Stop me--" He felt he had completely lost control over his right fist and swerved it over to the monk sending the latter flying backwards.
"Sanzo!!" Goku called. He glared at Gojyo. "Teme! Kono Ero Kappa--eh?" He was about to attack when he saw Gojyo's hand on Hakkai tremble. "Na! Gojyo!"
What happened from that time on didn't register in Gojyo's mind. He gave up on his little hold on reality and succumbed into the darkness with Hakkai's call being the last thing he could remember.
*****
He felt as if he was in a vacuum. He felt so cold...as if he was dying. He was bare...nothing covered him. He felt warmth literally embrace him when arms were wrapped around him.
"You are...mine...!"
Even after this had been said, no reaction whatsoever came from Gojyo.
*****
Gojyo woke up, slowly opening his eyes. Everything came into his mind slowly. Comfort and warmth entered his body and soon he knew he was on a bed. Everything was silent and it was really cold. No light entered the room other than that from outside the window. It was then that he noticed it was night.
Turning to his right, Gojyo found a mass of black hair. Immediately, he knew who was sleeping beside him. "Ha...kkai..."
Hakkai woke up with weary eyes on Gojyo. He lifted his head showing a red mark on his forehead told Gojyo how long it had been pressed on his right arm while he was seated on a wooden chair. He didn't have any monocle on, making his eyes look a bit smaller when he smiled faintly. "Yokatta, Gojyo." He whispered.
"What...happened...?" Gojyo was able to utter. Though he felt he lost a pound of strength after saying those words.
Hakkai sat straight and didn't even bother to take his monocle, which was beside Gojyo. "You just fainted this afternoon. Sanzo had a hard time moving his jaw after you punched him."
"Punch...?" Gojyo gave a tired weirded out look. "Did I...?" He couldn't even finish the sentence.
Hakkai sighed. "You have a high fever, Gojyo." He placed his hand over Gojyo's bare forehead. Usually, his skin would be noticeably whiter than Gojyo's tanned one. But now, the difference seemed to have decreased. "It hasn't gone down ever since the afternoon." He removed his hand.
Gojyo closed his eyes for a moment and opened them again. His wine red eyes didn't look as warm as they once did. "What time is it?"
"Pass midnight desu."
Gojyo closed his eyes again. He needed rest...badly. "Can you get me another quilt?" He listened to Hakkai's soft movements. Next thing he knew, another layer of warmth covered him.
But it wasn't enough to keep the cold from getting to him. He felt as if it was inside.
He had no intention of telling Hakkai about it. *Can't get this guy to worry about me...and it's uncool...*
"San...kyu..." Gojyo made himself comfortable as best as he could. Though he couldn't move his body much because of the pain shooting right through all his limbs. They all burned and felt very sensitive.
Hakkai wore a worried look. The gleam his eyes have whenever he smiles wasn't visible, anymore.
"Get some sleep, Hakkai." Gojyo closed his eyes.
"After you, Gojyo." Hakkai faked a calm smile. Still, the gleam wasn't there.
"Kuso...stop acting like my brother."
"Iya...just returning what you did to me 3 years ago."
Gojyo smirked moodlessly. "Chi." Finally, he had fallen to sleep.
The smile faded from Hakkai's lips. "Oyasumi nasai." He whispered.
He needed to get out of this room.
*****
Hakkai silently closed the door to Gojyo's room and turned around. He jumped when he saw the smoking blond man leaning against the railings of the inn's balcony. "S, Sanzo..."
"How is he?" Sanzo flipped close his lighter. His robes were down, but he didn't feel chilly like Goku, who complained to him about the inn having thin sheets for quilt.
Hakkai sighed looking at the floor. "He hasn't been better..." He looked at Sanzo who seemed indifferent. "How long do you think--"
"I don't like to jump into conclusions now. I don't want to get your hopes up." Sanzo stood from the railings and approached Hakkai. "You're a dangerous man when it comes to that cockroach. If I say anything, I might get your hopes up. It's annoying."
Hakkai wasn't able to say anything. What Sanzo said, everything was sadly true.
"Chi, damned cockroach." Sanzo tossed the cigarette stick down and stepped on the lit part and crushed it, killing the flame. "Get some sleep, Hakkai. We have a long trip later."
"Demo, Sanzo--" Hakkai immediately turned to protest to the man but the monk wore a face that accepts no buts. He sighed and nodded. "Hai." He watched Sanzo open the door and close it behind him. He stood there for a couple more seconds.then he left to join Goku in his room.
*****
Sanzo sat on the chair Hakkai once occupied and studied Gojyo's still face. He hated to admit it...but he felt uneasy. He saw Hakkai's monocle left beside Gojyo. *Everyone is uneasy.* He thought. He knew how Goku and Hakkai weren't expecting him to agree with the nightshift. He had to get deeper into this matter.that's why.
It was strange, how Sanzo felt like he had to act according to what some storyteller is saying. Everything seems to be planned. He wanted to shoot whoever it was but who?
Sanzo reached for Gojyo's wrist and checked for the pulse. *A weak heart beat...what could have gotten to him?* He dropped it to the bed. *How he dropped after I smacked him and how he threw his fist at me...it was nothing normal. The strength he used for the punch wasn't his.*
*And what he uttered...'Stop me'...*
*Could someone be controlling him...and us for that matter?*
"Chi! How annoying." Sanzo muttered. How annoying indeed that someone is moving him against his free will. *That someone could be using Gojyo to lure all of us into our deaths.* He felt as if his life depended on Gojyo's survival.
It annoys him even more.
*Shikuso.*
*****
Warmth shone on his face when he woke up. It was early morning. Gojyo's body was stiff, but what could he do? He had little strength on the night. Turning to his right, he was surprised to see who was sitting beside him with crossed arms, a bowed head and closed eyes. "Sanzo?"
Sanzo opened his eyes waking from his little nap when he heard Gojyo and looked to him.
"What are you doing here?"
"Nightshift." Sanzo said a-matter-of-factly.
"Hontou ni?" Gojyo felt his strength slowly coming back. "I don't believe you. I bet there's something else." He grinned tiredly.
"That's asking how you are."
"I'm better, thank you." Gojyo kidded along. He watched Sanzo stand and head off.
"Ikuzo." Sanzo opened the door and left, leaving the door open for Gojyo.
Gojyo smirked. "Chi...shimata, now?" Slowly, he stood up and got ready.
*****
"Sanzo!" Hakkai walked over to the driver's seat in Jiipu just to get close to Sanzo while he argued. But he wasn't going to sit down until the monk convinces him. "I don't agree with the idea of continuing this journey while Gojyo just woke up from a high fever yesterday!"
"He's fine. I don't see why we should stay any longer." Sanzo stepped into Jiipu and sat down.
"Demo, Sanzo!"
"Dismissed!" Sanzo gave Hakkai a stern look. "...ikuzo." He faced front waiting for Hakkai to get on.
Hakkai wanted to protest still but nothing will seem to work. He looked at Goku hoping the boy could help him but the boy himself was clueless of what was happening.
"Daijoubu, Hakkai." Gojyo rested his heavy arm around Hakkai's shoulders. "I won't die." He winked with a smile.
Hakkai wasn't sure...but he has to content himself with Gojyo's statement...again. His lips spread to a fake small smile. "Wakarimashita."
Soon, everyone was on Jiipu and they were moving. That was the time Gojyo let go of his shell and fell back to his weakness. Truth be told, he wasn't feeling any better...in fact he felt worse.
He breathed slowly hoping no one would notice it. Goku was asking Sanzo for food and the latter was entertaining him. Hakkai was concentrated on driving. *Good... *
The burning feeling on Gojyo's skin came back. He felt dizzy and wanted his head to throb it away. Or maybe explode. The fever was coming back and he felt very hot and dehydrated.
Why had it not shown awhile ago?
This sudden illness had been bothering him. Sometimes, it scared him but he shoved the fear away.
But there was another that he had been wondering about. This woman he had been dreaming of for two nights. He doesn't know who she is. But he was sure, she was the one who he dreamt of the other day, and the one he dreamt about sleeping with again just this night.
Gojyo's hand immediately grabbed on his stomach and squeezed it when a sudden pain attacked. He shut his eyes close and gritted his teeth.
This had been going on for two days already...ever since he had dreamt of that unknown woman.
He felt as if something was slowly eating him from inside...
