Chapter 5
"Oei, Monkey Boy, wake up. It's cold out here and if you wanna freeze, that's fine by me." A muddy, brown boot nudged Goku's shoulder relentlessly. Goku yawned sleepily, then rubbed and blinked his eyes. Trying to focus his sight to look at the disturbing shadow, Gojyo was standing there with a cigarette in his mouth, his beautiful blood crimson eyes focused on Goku questioningly "Oei, Goku, you been crying?"
Goku quickly turned and looked at the grass, hiding his red, swollen eyes away from Gojyo's penetrating stare.
Gojyo took a deep puff from his cigarette and continued speaking. "Hey, I just wanna say that I am sorry for what has happened today, I really didn't mean to get you into trouble-"
"Shut up," Goku replied stonily and ignored Goyjo.
"Hey, I am trying to apologise here."
"........" Silence. Both of them refused to make eye contact, scared to be embarrassed and uncomfortable by what they might see in each other's eyes. The wind blew past them, as if giving a silent encouragement for them to speak up. Goyjo cleared his voice and threw the remaining cigarette butt on to the ground.
"I mean, what do you see in that priest anyway. He drinks, smokes, gambles and plays around with dangerous guns. I meant that.he shoots anything that gets between him and his goals.. That is a very violent person, not your sort anyway, you deserve some one sweet and nice-"
"Gojyo, when someone asked you to shut up, you are supposed to shut up." Goku gritted his teeth, slowly losing his patience with the irritating kappa. He continued to stare intensely at the grass, clenching his fists together as if ready to hit back at any moment.
Gojyo got so pissed and arched his eyebrow in defiance in response to Goku's actions.
"Hey kid, someone just asked me to apologise and save you from freezing your butt outside in this coldness. So get in the lodge and go to bed!" Gojyo replied coldly, grabbing Goku by his collar and dragging him into the lodge. He would not have bothered to look for the little scamp if his secret beloved (~Hakkai~) didn't sweetly request him to.
"What the hell are you doing? Let me go! It's none of your business!" Goku was wildly trying to get loose from Gojyo's iron grip. Gojyo strolled unaffectedly into the lodge and dropped Goku down on the hard concrete floor with a thud.
"Ouch, that hurts, you big Baboon!
Gojyo lifted an eyebrow and stared at Goku skeptically. "Who is calling who a monkey?"
"Hmph! Sex deprived kappa!" Goku muttered.
"Do the both of you care to have a cup of cocoa?" Both eyes turned to the direction of the speaker. Hakkai, holding a kettle and 3 cups, was smiling sweetly as ever.
"Man.. I sure do need a cup," Gojyo said and walked to the table.
Both Gojyo and Hakkai looked at Goku, nodding to the empty chair between the two of them in a silent invitation to join them for a cup of cocoa. Goku sighed and gave in to the temptation of a warm cup of cocoa. As he got himself seated, Hakkai asked nonchalantly while pouring out the cocoa equally into the 3 cups "Goku, were you angry with Sanzo today about the way he treated you?" Goku slumped onto the chair and meekly shook his head. Hakkai sighed soulfully and pressed on for more information from the hurt boy. "Well, both of us here know whom the chocolates were for."
That instant, Goku raised his head in surprise, looking at his two companions from left to right (and vice versa). Gojyo pushed a cup of cocoa to Goku and winked at him "Well, I didn't tell Hakkai. It was a conclusion drawn by Hakkai himself, you see."
"I-... I... " Goku stammered, unsure of what to say next.
Hakkai sipped his hot cocoa and meekly said "The chocolates were for Sanzo, right, Goku?"
Goku, blushing furiously, nodded his head in agreement.
"And you didn't throw away the burnt chocolates, did you?" Gojyo prompted cockily.
Goku, getting redder by the moment, whispered "I hid it in my travelling bag with all my other snacks."
Gojyo smiled smugly and lit another cigarette "Just as I have guessed."
In a serious tone, Hakkai asked gently "Are you planning to tell Sanzo your feelings, Goku?"
Goku, looking so miserable and tormented, replied in a pained voice "You know I can't tell Sanzo my feelings, he will reject me and then ignore me like those people who have confess their feelings for him. I can't bear that heartache, I just can't."
"Have you ever thought that Sanzo may not reject you after all?" Hakkai smiled and took a second sip from his cup.
Goku sighed bitterly. "It's nice of you guys to give me advice and some tint of hope, but I know Sanzo much longer than you guys. He's straight- laced through and through, plus he has his responsibilities as a high- ranking priest to collect the scriptures..."
"Goku, Sanzo is also a hot-blooded man." Hakkai tried to reason to the poor monkey.
"Yes, but doesn't that make it worse? He is a human while I am a youkai. It is impossible between us. It is forbidden love! The kind that is shunned by gods and mankind, and who knows if I will one day lose self-control like the others? I may even kill or hurt anyone of you guys, especially Sanzo. Especially Sanzo..."
"Goku, what if Sanzo likes you, have you ever consider his feelings?" Hakkai asked gently and cupping the lad's cheek gently as a mother would console a child. "He was very concerned about you when you left the dinner table earlier than usual."
"Sanzo, concerned about me??" Raw confusion was clear on Goku's face. The vulnerability in his golden eyes were so clear, so hopeful. But then at an instant, they were quickly dismissed and replaced with a harsh look.
He pushed Hakkai's comforting hand away he made a hasty exit. "I have had enough cocoa for the night. Good night, Hakkai. Good night, Gojyo." Goku ran up the stairs without looking back, knowing that his heart was beating furiously against his ribs.
"Do you think he'll tell Sanzo, Hakkai?" Gojyo draped one arm around Hakkai accidentally, leaning closer to the one that he loved so fervently and yet so secretly. Hakkai froze at the spot. Gojyo then felt that it was too soon to tell Hakkai about his own feelings for the man with so many secrets and sorrow hidden behind that smiling facade. He sighed, released his arm away from Hakkai, and took the empty cups on the table. "I'll wash them. Thanks for making the cocoa, Hakkai. Good night." With that, he strolled away from his beloved, leaving the faint scent of his cigarette brand behind him.
"Good night, Gojyo," Hakkai whispered softly and inhaled Goyjo's scent, secretly wishing that their unique friendship will never end. His glance never left the shadow of the man who saved him and took care of him as a brother. Brothers. was it all to their relationship? With that, Hakkai smiled sadly and glanced at the Goyjo's empty chair.
Chapter 6
{Sanzo's room}
"Stupid Monkey, running around the corridors at this time of the night."
Sanzo was lying on the couch, with a can of beer in his hand and a cigarette in another. Taking a deep gulp from the can, he thought of how much he wanted to fling the half-filled can at that disturbing noises that monkey boy was making.
"Sheesh." Sanzo continued to laze back on the couch. Chocolates. Goku. Apron. Where is the connection? He furrowed his forehead, thinking deeply into the matter.
He had to admit that Goku did look very kawaii in that apron, silly but kawaii. He smirked at that thought. Then a frown marred his forehead. Chocolates for whom? A village girl whom Goku has a crush on? The thought itself was disconcerting to Sanzo, bringing out a kind of bitter-sweet taste to his feelings.
Jealousy. Sanzo straighten up abruptly, cigarette resting on his lips passively, his eyes wider than ever. A confused look was on his face, but it had disappeared as fast as it came. "Why the hell would I be feeling jealous about that stupid monkey, it isn't logical!" He snubbed out his cigarette, took a last gulp of beer, and headed for the bed. "I need some rest, definitely need rest," he mumbled incoherently.
Lying down with his eyes closed, soon Sanzo fell into a deep sleep.
