-t.A.T.u: Not Gonna Get Us
10:00pm… The lights in the rooms were closed. Footsteps quietly padded across the floor in the hallway.
Sanzo's eyes snapped open as he felt a familiar hand caress his face.
"Dareka?" Sanzo growled as he reached for his gun but the same hand that caressed his face earlier stopped him.
"Shh…" The owner of the hand whispered.
"Hakkai?" Sanzo asked in bewilderment as he looked at the face of who stopped him.
It was not at all like Hakkai. Make-up concealed his masculine features, a well-placed wig that was braided and matched his real hair color perfectly covered his short hair and to top that all, he wore a pretty green dress that fitted well into his lithe curves. His lips gleamed scarlet under moonlight and he had traded his monocle in for a pair of glasses that looked equally beautiful on him.
"Are you sure you're not deceiving me?"
"If I was then I couldn't tell you that you tracked me down years ago because I had murdered a whole clan of demons back then."
"But why are you dressed up like this?" Sanzo asked in a whisper.
"Because I want to keep a secret…"
"And what would that be, Hakkai?" Sanzo asked.
"Shh… Call me Kana…" Hakkai hushed Sanzo once more.
"Well then, what is your secret, Kana?" Sanzo asked.
"I'll tell you later… But first, dress up… I want to go around this town with you…" Hakkai smiled. Although his real face had been covered by make-up, his smile still was that familiar smile Sanzo had always recognized. Sanzo put his robes on as Hakkai watched from behind the door, waiting for him to be ready to go out of the hotel.
"Saa…" Sanzo said as he finished fixing his robes, "Shall we go now, Kana?"
"Of course, Sanzo houshi-sama…" Hakkai laughed as he pretended to be a normal lady, adjusting his pitch a note or two higher to match a girl's voice. As Sanzo passed by him, he caught his hand in his and walked side by side with him.
"Oi, Ha… I mean, Kana…"
"Hai, Sanzo houshi-sama?"
"Why are you holding my hand?"
"I'll tell you later…" Hakkai's eyes twinkled behind his glasses as he pulled Sanzo out of the inn and into the festive town. Lights were abundant and the sound of laughter rang throughout the area. Hakkai laughed as he pulled Sanzo by the hand, weaving through the people as if they were only mere obstacles in a maze.
"Don't worry, Sanzo-sama… It won't be long before we reach there!"
"How are you so sure?"
"I've been there this morning!" Hakkai cheerfully said over the voices of the people talking and cheering.
So they continued to weave through the people stopping every now and then to look at a display at one of the stalls in their path. Sanzo absentmindedly followed while Hakkai giddily watched. But while Sanzo continued to latch to Hakkai's hand, he seemed to feel something for the man beneath the disguise. Although the disguise changed Hakkai's appearance, it couldn't disguise Hakkai's sunny personality. It was what Sanzo liked about his emerald-eyed companion. His ever-smiling façade that had concealed his dark past completely. But before he could think further, he felt the crowd dissolve behind him and the fresh country air blowing against his cheek as Hakkai began to slow down.
"This is what I wanted to show you…"
Sanzo looked at where he was. It was a cliff overlooking a great river. There was a tree behind him that Hakkai slumped against. He sighed as he sat beside the brunette demon who gazed at the stars shimmering in the sky.
"Ne, Sanzo…" Hakkai began, using his regular tone of voice, "What would you do if someone said that she loved you?"
"Don't you mean 'he'?"
"Sanzo?" Hakkai looked at Sanzo, "You know…?"
"Of course… It's quite obvious to me that you love me…"
"But then… Do you hate me?"
Sanzo shook his head and caressed Hakkai's face as he had did in the inn. He slowly drew Hakkai's face closer as he softly kissed the brunette's glossed lips.
"Sanzo…" Hakkai whispered as Sanzo let go of his face.
"Shh… If anyone gets hold of this, I'm going to kill you…" Sanzo pressed his finger against Hakkai's lips, "Now I know why you're all dressed up like this…"
"Haha…" Hakkai laughed nervously, "I never want Gojyo or Goku to tease you about us… So there… I'm this."
"But how will this carry on?" Sanzo asked.
"I'll keep this disguise with me…" Hakkai smiled with a clever gleam in his eyes, "Then every night, we'll sneak out of the inn. We can go around the town and no one will suspect you of being with me… Before we go back to the inn, I'll change out of my disguise and get back to my room. That way, neither Goku nor Gojyo will know that Kana is actually me!"
"Good plan…" Sanzo smirked after hearing Hakkai's plan, "So, let's go explore the town while we still have time. We have to be back before either of those idiots know that we're both gone…"
"Hai, Sanzo…" Hakkai smiled as he returned Sanzo's soft kiss.
"Aishiteru, Hakkai…" Sanzo whispered as Hakkai slowly drew back. The blond monk got up from his sitting position and took his lover by hand.
And so the two toured the village like normal lovers do. Sanzo's hand clamped tightly and lovingly over the disguised Hakkai. Every now and then the two would share a little kiss in a dark alley or beside a stall. They never cared who was watching them because they knew that the disguise fooled everyone completely. Usually, as they continued to walk, an older couple would pass by commenting on how sweet the two of them looked. They didn't care how tall Hakkai was anyway. Many people commented on how tall and beautiful Sanzo's 'girlfriend' was. Some even asked if he was a foreign beauty.
"Ahh… Sanzo-sama…" Hakkai laughed in his disguised voice, "This has turned out to be such a beautiful night!"
"True, Kana," Sanzo said looking at his disguised lover, "This night's just as lovely as you are…"
"Sanzo…" Hakkai whispered in his real voice, "Do you mean the real me?"
"Of course I do, Hakkai." Sanzo whispered back. Fortunately, the overwhelming noise of the town rendered his voice inaudible to the rest of the world, "I don't care about your disguise… You're beautiful…"
"Arigatou, Sanzo-sama…" Hakkai went back to playing Kana.
Later, it was time to end the rendezvous. Hakkai hid in an alley shielded by Sanzo as he switched from his disguise back to how he usually looked like. Sanzo went into the inn ahead of Hakkai to give the illusion that they weren't walking together. Later, Hakkai retreated back into his room, laid upon the bed and smiled.
"He loves me…" He murmured as he fell asleep.
