A/N: Gomen! I've been really wrapped up, busy and hell pooped! -_- I need a time out! Anyway, I'm posting this up so you won't think I'm planning to neglect this. After this, the next update might be on March. Yes! That delayed! ~_~ Arigatou for those who have reviewed since this fic started! ^_^
Just a few words with some of the reviewers: ^_~
Suzu-chan: Gomenasai! I kinda got confused with your review the last time about what really happened in the Princess Bride book because of the 'he's and the 'she's and I don't know who you're clearly referring to ^^;; but I'm intrigued! Maybe when this ends, I'll put up a short epilogue or something to add how 'The prince' REALLY met 'Buttercup' in Wesley's absence! Of course, using Saiyuki's characters! Hontouni Arigatou! ^0^
MeikoChan: Heehee you want more original scenes? *grins* Hakuryuu's appearance? Hmm. I see about that. Though if you can think up of a character who or that Hakuryuu can fit into, give me a message! ^_~
Any more comments and suggestions? Include it in your reviews please~ ^_^ Once again, R&R!
Chapter 3: The Chase Part 2: Hakkai and Gojyo part 1: People with Hearts of Gold, Overly Sentimental Nature and Brains the Size of a Mustard Seed (A/N: JK!! Don't kill me!! Remember, this is an AU fic! ~_~) by M-i
I think the title went too long-_-
*****
Hakkai peered down cautiously at the man in black, who seemed to have a hard. VERY hard time climbing up now.
"Hello there!" he tentatively raised his hand in casual greeting as the MIB looked up at him. "Still going?"
"'Umph. If you don't *mind*, I prefer you not distracting me so I can get up there faster" the MIB grunted in mild annoyance as he checked on his footing once more.
"Ok."
After 3 seconds, the green-eyed man is seen back on the ledge, gazing down at the man who doesn't seem to be doing any improvement in climbing. At least not much ^^;;.
" Do you want any help?? I've got some rope here. " he shouted.
Another grunt. " *No*. You will kill me once you get the perfect opportunity."
" Of course not!"
"Still, I can't trust you."
" Will it help if I gave my word as a Spaniard? (A/N: Hakkai?? A Spaniard?? 0_o)"
Third grunt. " Nope, sorry. Known TOO many Spaniards already."
Suddenly, all things went corny and Hakkai's eyes shone in an absolutely sickening, dramatic and serious, not to mention sentimental, way. " I swear on the grave of my father Cho Montoya (A/N: Somebody kill me. I just invented this! Since the original character of Hakkai was Inigo Montoya but Hakkai's surname is Cho, I can't think up of anything else! ; _;) that you will reach the top alive."
Silence.
" Ch'. Throw me the rope."
(A/N: I'm just going to go back to 'the man in black' m'kay? MIB sucks. no, not the movie.) Finally reaching the top with the help of Hakkai , the man in black sat down on a rock, courtesy of the monocle man's consideration, for a quick rest while ridding his black boots of stone pebbles.
As quick as it came, the smiling brunette broke the silence
"Y. you don't happen to have six fingers in your right hand, would you?"
The man in black stared at him oddly. "Do you always start conversations this way?" Hakkai shrugged and the man in black slowly lifted his right hand, showing five perfectly normal fingers. However, the somewhat relieved yet disappointed sigh didn't escape ears of the violet-eyed one.
"You see, my father, he was killed by the six-fingered man." When he heard no response, he continued his tale.
"This six-fingered man, one day, he came up to my father, requesting a special sword. But in the end, he refused to pay the price prior to their agreement and without warning, he slashed through my father's heart. Of course, I challenged him. And I failed. I was a kid back then."
"How old were you?"
" Eleven. But he didn't kill me. Instead he left me with this." Hakkai directed a finger at his covered eye. "Ever since then, I spent 20 years honing my skill in fencing."
"Oh."
Silence resumed before the man in black stood up, wiped off the remaining dust and turned to face his opponent. Hakkai smiled, took his position and spoke.
"You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you."
"You seem an decent fellow. I hate to die." came the drawling voice.
And so the fight began.
***As grim as I am, I do not like violence so forgive my lack of. expertise in this part -_-;; And mind you, I am still writing this with the movie as a basis. I can add but I won't alter what really ensued in the movie. Cheerios! ***
Basically, the man in black and Hakkai went on with their duel to the death, displaying both their skills with the sword. That is, until the two swords clashed in a tense battle to have the upper hand, forcing Hakkai to back away. This didn't look quite good for him though, at least not as much advantage for the man in black for he, on the contrary, is starting to near the edge of the cliff and fall.
But then, a chuckle was heard from the person least expected to have fun rather than worry about his current situation. This was rewarded with a very perplexed man in black.
"Why are you laughing?" *grunt*
*grunts in return* "Because I know something you don't know."
"Nani?"
"I-," he shoved off the man in black with all his might as to gain back proper composure, before casually handing his sword to his right hand's care. "-am not left handed."
"!!"
With that, their battle ensued. However, according to the results of their little spar, the man in black is starting to have problems blocking Hakkai's incredible sword fighting skills as a right-handed man. It was now his turn to be slowly pushed down the Cliff of Insanity, rocks supporting him also slowly crumbling away. But as both of them are having the same predicament like the last time, the man in black completed the scene by chuckling as well. Hakkai rose an eyebrow.
" *Why* are you laughing?"
" Because I know something you don't know."
"Which is?"
" *I* am not left handed either." He grinned, threw Hakkai off of him and transferred his sword to his other hand very much same like what Hakkai did. This time, their face off can hardly be of any help as to seeing who will in the end.
" *Who* are you?" Hakkai awed as his eyes tried to make a sketch of who might be under that mask that held so much skill and potential.
" I believe that must be left unsaid."
" Aww! But I *must* know."
" Get used to disappointment."
Hakkai shrugged in defeat, knowing that he couldn't fish the man's name out.
For a while, they continued until the duel became faster and more heated. The man in black took advantage of this, seeing that his opponent was getting frustrated, and remained his cool. The sound of clashing steel broke when the man in black delivered a blow, sending Hakkai's sword up in the air. Hakkai gaped at this and raised both of his hands in a defeated gesture when the tip of the man's sword was currently pointed at him.
BUT once again, his face broke into a grin and laughed.
" NOW what are you laughing AT??" The man in black questioned irritably, throbbing veins appearing one by one on his head.
" Because I know ANOTHER thing that YOU don't know."
Vein pops. " And WHAT is that-wha???"
The man in black barely escaped when two huge blue blasts came out of the monocle man's palms.
"What the fuck???!"
" *I* also honed my skill in controlling my ki energy. 0_^"
----
Sanzo: The hell-
M-i: What?
Sanzo: We were talking about swords then all of a sudden you tell me that I will fight with someone who can control ki energy??
M-i: Erm. Life isn't fair? ^_^;; Anyway, don't worry. Swords are still part of this fic, though I'll have to twist it a little so you can have your fun.
Sanzo: ??
M-i: Nevermind.
----
Not being able to do anything except dodge, the man in black felt himself starting to get exhausted.
Shit. If I stop now I'll get pulverized.
I'll die.
And I won't be able to rescue 'him'.
Goku.
Strangely enough, his features darkened when he remembered that name.
TBC.
A/N: Gomenasai! I was musing over it and decided to separate the fight scenes between Hakkai and Gojyo! But since I already told you that they'll somewhat be in the same chap, I decided to label this part "part 1". ^^;; Did you notice the title? ( Chap three: The Chase part 2: Hakkai and Gojyo part 1 and so on ~_~;; SO MANY PARTS!!! @_@
Anyway, please read and review ^_^ *mwah* Luv ya!!
