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.

A saru a day keeps the monk pissed away

It's a cold,freezing day today here.The wind blows coldly,giving one the chills to the bone.The fellow residents of the Chou An temple stayed inside all day,for it was too cold for any outdoor activities.They'd just stayed inside,chanting sutras and whatever that will past the time.Sanzo is the only one braving through the cold weather.Not that he likes to do it,he just had to.He had to visit some nearby temple,due to the request of the headmonk.It it's some other guy,don't expect him to move a muscle,but it's the head monk for crying out loud.Would you refuse a favor asked by a head monk? Not the ordinary monks that loiters around all day,saying things about the young monk from behind.Goku stayed behind.He's not really that stupid to go through the cold weather just to pay a visit to some temple.No,he rather stay behind,doing whatever he can.Such as making pranks at the monks or searching for food.At last,after cursing his way back,Sanzo finally arrived at the Chou An temple.The monks wanted to greet him,but Sanzo just gave an icy stare towards them,a stare that's as cold as the day itself.Knowing that the young monk is in one of his leave-me-alone-or-you'll-gonna-get-my-bullets-polish-your-bald-heads mood,they took a step back and let the young monk pass.

SLAM.

The door goes,revealing the young monk right in front of its track,with a rather unsatisfied and tired face.Goku,seeing that the young monk is back,greeted him. "Ah,Okaeri,San---" but he stopped the minute he saw Sanzo's face.Slowly,and softly,he finishes off his words. "---zo.."

"Where's the paper?" Sanzo's first question shot out from his mouth,as he scanned around for the object known as the newspaper.

"Ah? I think it's over there,i think." Goku replied,pointing towards the cupboard,"If my eyes don't deceive me that is.I've been starving,i think it's just an illusion." he added again.Rather dumb,don't you think? But the paper is up on that cupboard,so Goku didn't hallucinate,it's just his stomach that makes him think he's hallucinating the newspaper on that cupboard.

"Na Sanzo." Goku asked to the young monk,who is seemingly reaching for the paper.

"Nanda?" Sanzo replied,rather short and cold.But you could just make out the hint of fatigue in his tone.

"Don't you get sick,ya know....going out in a weather like that?" the boy asked out,curiously as he mind in his own business of scribbling on a piece of paper with a pen.

"What do you think i am? I'm not as weak as someone who caught a cold last week." the young monk replied,spreading out the pages on the paper.As he said that,he didn't took a glance towards Goku,just straight to the words imprinted on the grayish paper,through the reading glasses he's wearing.It took a while for Goku to notice that Sanzo is talking about him.

"Who?" he asked,then pointed at himself. "Me??"

"Who else?"

"Mou....." Goku pouted. "There's no need for you to bring that up." he added,then back to his business.Goku did got a cold a few weeks ago,due to his dumb idea of playing outside the temple when it rained heavily.Sanzo had his hands full in taking care of the dumb sick saru.The constant whining can really drives one to the brink of insanity.

The time passed by,the clock on the wall ticks off the second one by one.Time really goes slow when you have nothing better to do.The atmosphere were silent,calm and tranquil.Only the sound of the monks chanting the sutra fills the air.But suddenly,a sound suddenly shatters through the calm,tranquil air,which startled Goku very much.

"A kushu!"

"Are?" Goku responded,trying to find the source for that sneeze.Surely it's not him who sneezed.The only sound coming from him is the sound from his stomach,and surely his stomach is not the one who sneezed? Who's ever heard of a sneezing stomach? It's not somebody from outside.That person must be insane going out in such a weather.There is only two of them in the room and no one else.So the source must be one of them.Slowly,Goku crept up towards Sanzo and tugs the paper down.There the source is,Sanzo,trying to stifle another sneeze.

"Oho....who said he's not that weak hmm?" Goku said,sarcastically.Sanzo merely growled at him.

"It's just a sneeze,baka." he responded,but before he could say anything,Goku quickly laid his hand on Sanzo's forehead,much to Sanzo's annoyment. "Oi,get your hand off my forehead!" quickly,Sanzo snatched Goku's hand and threw it aside.

"Uso da,Sanzo." the boy said,crossing his arms. "Your head's hot."

"And how do you know i got a fever?"

"Well,you're the one who told me that when we got a fever,our head gets hot." Goku pointed out.Geh....shouldn't have teach him that.He should've known Goku will use that reason back on him someday. "Well,you've taken care of me when i was sick.Now,it's my turn to return the favor back to you." he added,grabbing onto Sanzo's arm.

"O...Oi! Let my arm go!" Sanzo growled,a numerous veins popped out of his blonde head.He tried to resist,but he's too damn tired and fatigued to resist.Surely Goku just kidding around.Surely he doesn't mean what he'd said.Surely he's joking.

"C'mon,let's go!!" Goku said,tugging the young monk off from his seat and drags him straight down the hall,to the amusement of the fellow monks.Nope,it's not a joke.Goku's really serious about it.Down the hall he goes,bearing the utter humiliation.He's definitely going to whack him good when he regain his energy back.

"Damn it! Let go!!" Sanzo shouted out,finally got the strength to break free from Goku's grip.But he himself had been thrown into the bed.Goku dashed out and disapeared for a moment.Sanzo thought he could slip away and escape but his sharp reflexes deteriorated a bit and his movement are rather sluggish.Before he could even get away,Goku came back.But with a strange looking costume that resembles more to those of Ni Jyeni's.

"What the hell...?" Sanzo said,rather surprised to see Goku in that outfit.

"Hora! From now on i'm gonna take care of you till you get better!!" Goku replied,grinning cheerfully.A cold shiver just ran through Sanzo.No,not the cold shiver of the fever,it's the cold shiver of nightmare.Goku will surely make his condition more worse,not better.

"This is stupid,i'm getting off this bed!" Sanzo said as he turns around to leave.Again,he failed for Goku lunges at him and tucked him tightly onto the bed with a blanket. "GAK!!"

"Now now,Sanzo." Goku said,in a way like a doctor would say. "You're sick so you musn't move much." he added.

"BUT THIS IS KILLING,NOT CURING!!!!" Sanzo shouted out his protest,pissed off.If only he could just slip his hand out,he could whack the saru on the head with his paperfan.

"Now i'm gonna take your temperature,Sanzo!" Goku cheerfully said,pulling out a thermometer that for some illogical explanations for it wasn't even invented yet,oh what the heck. "Now open wide." Goku instructed.

"NO!!"

PLOP.

"Ah,wasn't that easy?" Goku said,pleased.Sanzo's reaction of yelling gave him the chance to pop the thermometer into the young monk's mouth.He then pulled it out then stared at it.He stared at it for quite a while and then threw it away.

"Ah,it said your temperature is high." he concluded.But Sanzo knew,the saru doesn't know how to read the damn thing.He couldn't even read a simple word.Again,magically out of nowhere Goku pulled out a ice pon,the small packet thing that you put on your head to cool your head down.It seems that Goku has mastered the technique of pulling objects out of a subdimensional world. Sighing,Sanzo let Goku do as he pleases.He's too tired to do anything anyway.Goku later bring him   some hot porridge in a bowl.Wonder where he got it from anyways?

"Na Sanzo.Eat this." he said,handling the bowl to the young monk.Sanzo took it and stared at it.

"Does this porridge got meat in it?"

"Yeah,i think so..."

WHACK!!!

"I can't eat meat damn it!!!" the young monk yelled,furiously.But his head is throbbing in pain due to the fever he had to stop yelling,so he slumps back on the bed.Goku notices this and quickly he reacted.

"Chotto matte yo,Sanzo.I'm gonna get ya some medicine." he said,and then rushes off,leaving Sanzo wondering if he'll be able to survive the ordeal.Goku didn't know how to read,and surely he can't read the labels.He might gave him some poison,and that might be the end of him.Just as he's busy wondering about in fear,Goku showed up again,holding a bottle and a spoon in his hands. "Tadaima!! Now,you should eat this." he said,showing Sanzo the bottle.The moment Sanzo took a look at the bottle,he sweatdropped.

"Goku...."

"Hmm? Nani,Sanzo?"

"Did you know what's that medicine is for?"

"Uh....no."

"It's a laxative medicine,bakasaru!!! Do you want me to sit in the toilet all day??!"

"Na Sanzo."

"Nanda??"

"What's laxative?"

WHACK!!!!!

"ITAI!"

"If you REALLY want to cure me,just go and leave me in peace!!" Sanzo yelled.Goku stared at him,curiously.

"Honto? You will get better?" Goku asked.

"Yes."

"Okay..." the boy replied,then heads for the door. "Have a good rest,ne?" he added,then shuts the door,leaving the monk finally in peace.

"Finally..." Sanzo said,slumping back on the bed.But not long after,a few seconds later,Goku popped in again.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked.Sanzo couldn't take it no longer.The scene ended with a few gunshots and a yelling so loud you could hear it over the distance.

"GOKU!!!!!!!!!"
