Note : Yet one of my latest fics.I think this may be the first fic to use such plot,since I never seen one done this before (I think).Anyways the journey took place before Hakkai and Gojyo came and before the insane journey begins.That's right,what it's like when Sanzo first took Goku in.Surely you can guess? Read and review.

You'd think you've got rid of your annoying problems by bringing him in, but not quite.Nightmare just begun for Sanzo who risk his own freedom by bringing the heavenly boy.



Trouble Followed me Home


After a few weeks of torturement and nearly droved insane by the little sprite,Sanzo finally arrives at the famous temple of Chou An.Goku,still energetic despite being whacked and banged on the head and other parts of body,thanks to Sanzo's high quality slippers and the steel-like paperfan that he wields,he looks around rather curious about where he's going.A few monks came out to greet Sanzo and they were a bit surprised to see the extra package.



"Who is that? Sanzo-sama?" one of them asks as he stares at the boy.



"This?" Sanzo replied flatly,glancing to the boy who is hiding behind his robes.He pulls the kid out by the collar and plops him in front of everyone."Just someone who's been giving me headache since the beginning and I took him in so he'll stop yapping up."



"Oh really?" the monk replied.Few whispers and hisses commences amongst the group of monks,each saying about their comments."Why did Sanzo-sama bring that filthy child here?" one of them whispered.Sanzo,known for his accurate hearing ability,overheard of what they said and instantly gives out a silent glance that immediately shuts them up.



"Thank you for your greetings but I have an important thing to attend." The blonde said,dragging the monkey by the collar.The monks were really taken surprised for Sanzo's behaviour.



"But Sanzo-sama! You have to see the head monk first!" one of them calls out,but Sanzo took no heed and kept on walking,dragging the no-idea-what-happened saru along.



They soon arrives at a room suppose to be Sanzo's room.Putting down his golden crown on the table,he stared at the kid,who instantly stares back at him."Nanda,Sanzo?" Goku asked,wriggling his toes on the floor.The priest opened a door that seems to be leading straight to a bathroom.



"This." Sanzo replied,short."You know what to do?"



"Aa?" the boy replied,cluelessly.He looked towards into the bathroom,blinked for a few seconds and then cluelessly he asked,pointing towards it."Nani kore? Sanzo?" His dumbass reaction gave Sanzo a slap in the face and a direct hit too.Slapping his hand on his forehead,frustratedly he explains.



"This is where you take a bath,baka." groaned Sanzo.Surely this kid knows what bath is right? All things know baths. Even the animals knew baths.Surely he knew.



"Oh kay…" Goku replied.Sanzo thought for a second that Goku finally remembered what bath is,but he was dead wrong.Goku's brain has already taken a permanent vacation for 500 years and yet he lets out a short reply.



"Why?"



"Why?? Why,you ask??" Sanzo replied,rather bewildered.Outside the room,monks gather around to listen to what's going on in there.Sensing there's a lot of peeping toms outside,Sanzo calls out with a short "Oi." And in seconds,all of them goes running off,afraid to have offended the high-priest. "Going back to what I was saying,you've been trapped for 500 years with no baths whatsoever and your body smells like a week old unwashed socks yet you can still ask me why??"



"Umm….dunno?" the saru replied,grinning innocently.Letting out a groan,Sanzo folds down his upper part robe,leaving the black leathery cover behind.Putting both of his hands on the saru's shoulder,he whispers out a menacing,low toned warning.



"I'm gonna do this,just this once.If you dare to open your big mouth and tells anyone that I bathed you,you can kiss your sorry ass goodbye.Is that clear?"



"Ha..hai,Sanzo.." Goku stammered,nodding slowly,understooding every words the man said.He'd just got free from his imprisonment and he is not going to be stupid enough to provoke the man any further.



Having a nice bath,and should I say unpleasant for Sanzo for Goku always moves about,asking here and there,which literally ended with Sanzo dousing the small kid with a pail of water.Goku was given a brand new jeans,and a oversized shirt to wear.There isn't any shirt for his size around here,so he'll just have to make this count.Of course,during the period Goku changes into the clothes,Sanzo did managed to take a glimpse into today's paper.Having to see the child is already dressed,the man got up,puts his golden crown back and heads for the door.He was suddenly stopped dead at the track when he heard the most atrocious grumbling sound.He turned his head slowly to the noise and that particular noise came from Goku's stomach.



"Ah….i'm hungry…" the child moaned,slumping to a chair nearby as his shirt slumps to one side,baring his left shoulder.He didn't notice Sanzo going out but he soon notices him soon after the grumbles."Ah,Sanzo? Where're you going?" he asked,his golden eyes lit up with curiousity.



"I'm going out for awhile.You stay here." The blonde replied sternly.In that instant,Goku sprang up from his seat and quickly grabbed onto the man's legs. "Sanzo,please don't leave me here! I don't wanna be left alone anymore,I hate it! Stay here please,Sanzo??" he begged and he pleaded,his golden eyes shimmered and glittered like the stars,swishing his head to and fro as he latches onto the man's legs.Sanzo is not too happy with this kind of reaction and he furiously tried to shake Goku off. Goku doesn't even budged a bit.Even as Sanzo moves along in the room,Goku is still latched on,refusing to let go as he scoots along on the floor like a dog biting on a moving mop.



"Get the hell of me,damn it!!" Sanzo yelled for he could take no more.With no hesitations he wields out his trusty fan and swiftly smacked it right onto Goku's head.Just like he expected,Goku lets go his hands and now latches them onto his own throbbing head.



"Itai yo! Sanzo!" the eight-year old cried out,glancing upwards towards the man.



"I was just gonna go out and meet the head monk,baka doubutsu!!" Sanzo yelled,rather annoyed and pissed off and not enjoying even one bit of this.



"Mou…" Goku moaned as he slumps down onto the floor,legs crossed.His eyes randomly looks at Sanzo and the window.The mansighs and makes his exit.This time Goku did not show response.He just sat there,looking down on the floor,poking on whatever on the floor is,and then stared at Sanzo.His big golden eyes melts the even hardest of hearts and finally Sanzo gives up.



"Oh alright."he said as he brushes his fingers across his golden mane."I'll order them to bring some food for you to eat."he continued as he closes the door.Goku's eyes widened at the mentioning of food and was particularly eager for that.



Sanzo walked down the hallway,thinking whatever that kid is up to in that room.If that kid dares to make a mess out of that room,expect a few whackings by Sanzo himself,personally.The man didn't really pay attention to all the monks giving him greetings around him.They're just a bother to him anyways.Finally,he met with the head monk who greets him ad this time Sanzo accepted the greeting.I know he's sometimes rather rude but he's not that stupid to be rude to head monks.After talking about,Sanzo starts to make his leave.Just as he did so,the head monk asked him a question.



"Why did you bring that child here along with you,Sanzo-sama?" he asked.Sazo stops at his tracks and turns around,facing to the old man."Why did you ask?" he replied.



"You know that small child shouldn't enter here."



"So? Is it a sin if I brought him here with me?" Sanzo replied,unfazed by the question as he pulls out a cigarette box out of his robe,taking one out and puts it between his lips.



"But Sanzo-sama,he's a demon.Surely you know that demons killed your beloved master.Why should you be with one?" the head monk tried to explain,but in vain.Sanzo did not want to hear.He didn't care.Turning around,he heads back to his own room."I don't want to hear those words again.The death of my master and my hatred does not have something in common.Forgive me but I'll take my leave."



Sanzo almost reaches his room when he saw two monks slumping down,seemingly tired.Slowly he approaches them and asks."Oi.What's wrong?" The two of them suddenly sprang up and each of them explains what's wrong.



"Ah,Sanzo-sama! That kid eats awfully lot and we've ben taking trays after trays and it took a while until he's fulled!"



"Sou ka na….well you two may leave now." The two of them nodded and leaves.Sanzo stared at the door,wondering of actually how many did the boy had eaten.Surely not that much,right? He was wrong though for as he opens the door,the first thing he saw was piles of trays stacked on each other,nearly touches the ceiling. "Dear lord…he really does eats a lot." Sanzo remarks.Well it's not something strange for the child hadn't anything to eat and drink for the past 500 years.Suddenly,he feels like something is missing.There's no sign of Goku.



"Goku?" the man called out. "Where the hell are you?" Sanzo looked behind the stacks and there he is,dozing off.The blonde feels like wanting to whack him up but one look at the child's innocent face,his intentions gone,just like that.He took out a blanket and lays it down on Goku's back.The kid's still a child.When he's a bit older then he's going to whack him up.Preferably much severe.



"Huh…somehow I felt like I'm gonna be stuck with him for a very long time."he said to himself as he looks down on the saru.And he did guessed correctly…he is going to be stuck with him,for a long time.





Note : Ahahah….i can exactly imagine the scene,don't you? What his life is like in the beginning.Well just wait for the next chapter though.Read and review.
