A/N: Here you go people!!! Phew!!! Sorry for the short length! I'm trying!
But it doesn't seem to get any longer! Well, hey anyways.
Disclaimer: Saiyuki doesn't belong to me. blah blah.
On with the story.
Chapter- 06: Goku entered the cottage exhausted. He set the groceries down on the wooden table in the kitchen and collapsed back in a chair. His thoughts reverted back to the event earlier and wondered who that man was. He was very familiar yet like a complete stranger. He sighed as the old lady came in. He mumbled a hello.
"Hello Goku dear, how was shopping? Did you have enough time to explore the rest of the town today?", she smiled at him.
"You know, I ran into this strange man in the market. He looked very familiar but I didn't know what to do! He just GRABBED me and hugged me for NO reason. Don't you think that it's weird?"
She was silent for a moment then said, "You should rest dear. It has been a long day. You need time to think. Go to bed if you want and I'll call when dinners ready".
He thanked her and walked up the stairs. He got on to his bed and instantly fell into a deep sleep. He didn't notice a man retreat back into the shadows after watching the boy sleep. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hakkai entered the inn they were staying and sighed. That boy was definitely Goku. Who else would have golden eyes and a limiter on their head other than Goku himself. He walked into their room and saw Sanzo on the bed and Gojyo at the table silent. Hakkai raised an eyebrow at the scene and noticed a small hole on the wall about a foot near Gojyo's head. He chuckled before clearing his throat, causing the other two to look at his direction.
"I know where he lives and if any of you are interested I will guide you there tomorrow. Now all of you get some sleep". That was the last thing said that night. Gojyo rushed to his mattress and stayed there. Sanzo closed his eyes without a comment. Hakkai smiled walked slowly to his mattress. Tomorrow was going to be a long day. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning they woke up early, packed and got into Jiipuu. It rained, much to Sanzo's disappointment, but they all had determined looks on their faces. Sanzo tried to hide it but his expression was the most obvious. After a half hour drive out of town they reached a small cosy-looking cottage. Hakkai jumped out of Jiipuu and knocked on the door and spoke,
"Excuse me uhh. we are travellers and we are looking for a place to stay as it's raining", he stopped and glanced at Sanzo. Sanzo nodded in response.
"YES! Just a minute!!", came an old female voice. A minute later the door opened revealing a small old lady. She paused at the sight of Hakkai and turned her head to look at the other two in the Jeep. Her eyes stopped at Sanzo for a brief moment and scanned him before she said,
"Come in! Make yourselves comfortable. There are some towels in the cupboard to dry yourself. Help yourself, I'll go make you some tea." With that she headed for the kitchen. Gojyo looked around the living room and said,
"Hey Hakkai! Are you sure that Goku stays here now?"
"Hai, I followed him here yesterday and-", he was cut off by the old lady's entrance.
"Here you go.", she set the tray onto the table and continued, "Goku will be home from the woods in no time. When he gets back he will help you with your room". No one said anything at that comment until the old lady spoke again, "You are a Sanzo Houshi aren't you. You might be able to help Goku's little problem then-", she stopped abruptly as the front door opened revealing an extremely wet boy, soaked with mixtures of mud and water. He was holding a protected bundle in his arms. "I brought some firewood back from the forest and I-HACHOO!" He sneezed. "Damn I must have developed a cold-", he stopped as he looked at the three strangers sitting with a towel and a cup of tea in their hands. Violet met gold for the second time in two days.
"YOU!", he shouted as he looked at Sanzo before looking at Gojyo and Hakkai.
"I see you've met", the old lady said smiling at the group. She handed Goku a towel and carried the empty tray back to the kitchen. Goku proceeded onto drying himself whilst saying,
"If you would follow me in a minute I will show you to you room". He dropped his towel onto the table before heading out. He stopped as someone grabbed him by his wrist.
"Oi! Where do you think you're going? We still have to talk!", the red haired kappa asked, with a vein forming on his head. Goku glared at the three men and yanked his hand away. He walked through the door and to a room at the end of the small corridor, unlocked it and said,
"Here's your room, call me if you need anything. I am in the room opposite you", he said quietly and continued, "try not to go out at into the forest at night, there are many youkais out there hunting".
He went into his own room and shut the door quietly, leaving the three travellers in the corridor. Goku sat on his bed and sighed. Why was he getting such a big headache! He felt like he couldn't disagree with the monk, also he cannot refuse to return a smile to that green eyed man. He always had the urge to fight the red haired man. He didn't know why. It.It just feels right, like it's not the first time.
"Urgh!! I have to stop thinking about this!!! It's driving me crazy!", he laid down in bed and instantly fell asleep dreaming of the mysterious man. his sun. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
