Gojyo's Gift
DISCLAIMER: I don't think there's a need for this.
Obviously, the reason why I'm writing here is because the anime
doesn't belong to me. :> I hope you ENJOY!
Chapter 7: Meet the Parents
At around dusk, Gojyo went to his room at the inn and found his wife waiting for him there.
"What are you doing here?" he asked angrily.
"I want you to meet my parents, you're the only one left they haven't met."
"Why does your parents want to meet your `husband's ` bestfriend and don't give me that smile! If you think I'm jelous think aga-"
"My parents haven't met my husband yet. I'll wait for you outside" she stormed out of the room, the smile still plastered on her face, but it faded when she waited there for half an hour. She was about to knock when he came out.
"Follow me" she said quietly.
"They were silent on their way to her house when she stopped and face her husband.
"All I'm asking from you is to be nice to them. I don't want to disappoing them by having a rude husband" she said then continued walking.
When they arrived, Gojyo surprised her by putting his arms around her shoulder.
"Don't worry they won't be disappointed"
kWhen they came inside, his three friends were already there, Goku was the first to notice them.
"Ooh Gojyo! What's with the sudden ch-" he stop when he saw Gojyo's warning look as if telling him to keep his opinion to himself.
"So yo're Gojyo. It's nice to meet you son" Ching, Kai's mom said cheerfully hugging him.
"Hmm...red hair, red eyes. You're a tab-"
"Dad!" she stopped him when she saw Gojyo's reaction.
"What?! Daughter, let me finish first before you `Dad!` me. Now as I was saying, I know you're a half demon and half human, but I want you to know that it doesn't matter. As we can see you love our daughter and that's enough for us. Welcome to the family son" he said giving him a light slap onhis shoulder.
"Thank you sir. You don't have to worry, I'll take care of Kai" he said while looking at Kai.
**I hope it's true** she thought.
"Okay time to eat now!" Ching said.
The whole dinner was like a dream for Kai, with gojyo looking at her as fi he does love her. ** But he's just doing that for my parent's sake **
"Sir, ma'am. We better go back to the inn now, thanks for the delicious dinner" Hakkai said.
"Inn? No..no there are three guestrooms here and you can sleep there it's already prepared, while Gojyo will sleep with Kai in her room." Chang, Kai's dad said then bid them goodnight.
The three looked at Gojyo, their brows raised, but he ignored them and took Kai's hands.
"Let's retire now wife, and let those three gape all night" he said referring to the three whose mouths are wide open, shock of Gojyo's sudden change towards Kai.
When the two were gone, Hakkai broke the silence "Don't look too shock guys. Have you forgotten thatt Gojyo likes women and Kai's not plain but a beautiful one"
"And not only that, she's a good cook. If I had known, I should have claimed her myself." Goku said grinning.
"I think you shouldn't let Gojyo hear that" Hakkai said.
"Why not? He treats her bad before. He's just good to her now because he's scared of her parents.
Hakkai shrugged his shoulders while the monk just grunted then went to their respective rooms.
Kai woke up when she heard a child-like cry.
"Peas don't cry mom, I promise not to do it again..."
She was readyt to find who was crying when she realize that it's Gojyo, dreaming. He was curled in a ball on the mattress he's using. She went to him...
"Shhh...you're dreaming Gojyo...stop crying" she said cradling his head on her chest, brushing away wet strands of hairs away from his face
He opened his eyes, still drowzy, and looked into the bluest eyes he has ever seen.
"My Kai, don't leave me" he said sleepily then went back to sleep hugging her tight.
" 'My Kai'....... Don't worry, I won't leave you .... my Gojyo" she whispered and kiss the forehead of her sleeping husband.
A few minutes later she fell asleep leaning against the wall, her husband in her arms.
The next day, they all bid Kai's parents goodbye.
" Son, I thought you're going to stay here longer" Chang said to Gojyo.
"As much as I'd love to but I can't, we still have a mission to finish. But don't worry, Kai and I will come back here after, how about it dad?" he said grinning then looked at Kai, who's heart is pounding hard.
** He called my father "dad" could it be? **
"Husband, let the children go. They promise to come back, so don't worry. Kai you take care of yourself won't you? And take care of your husband" Chin said to her daughter then hugged her.
"Don't worry mom, I'll do both"
"And I'll make sure she'll take care of herself" Gojyo said, his arms around her shoulder.
And so they continued their journey.
