CHAPTER 2
The first half of the day was over and a rather confused Takeo, holding a lunch tray with heaps of food on it, was desperately looking around, for an empty seat, in the middle of the canteen.
Sitting at a table with Shigeru and Rei, Kai saw him. "Over here," he said making a sign to Takeo with his head. Kai wouldn't have normally asked anyone to sit at his table; he was amazed at his own actions. "What the hell got into me?" he thought, "That kid! I must really like him" and funnily enough Kai did feel kind of attached already to Takeo, he didn't know why, he just felt that it had always been like that.
It was impossible for them to agree on even the most insignificant of matters. They felt they knew all about each other, although they did not behave like close friends, they realized they were all caught in some kind of cobweb, cobwebs in a strange sort of network, leading to the final answer…but the sense of it...they just couldn't see it.
"Here, you baka saru!" Shigeru stood up waving his hands at Takeo who was still trying to figure out where the voice was coming from. He spotted them and made a dash for the empty seat next to Rei. "Thanks…I was kind of lost in here for a sec"
"Don't mention it monkey" replied Shigeru in between mouthfuls
"Don't call me that!! You mini-skirt addicted red haired pervert!!!"
"Shurrup….you……"
"Shut up both of you!!!"
Rei smiled his usual smile…"It's just like the old times" he thought…realizing his thoughts a cold shiver ran down his spine "What where the old times?"
He felt cold inside…they all did. This scene of pointless bickering and name calling…it was all too typical…too familiar.
Gokuh: (teeth chattering)
Kenren T: Hey Gokuh…need a sweater?
Gokuh: If you have one that fits my inside…
Kenren T: (seriously pissed off at the saru's sudden distinct sense of humour) Nothing is big enough to fit your stomach…trust me!
Sanzo: Such words of wisdom….like clear water running from a rusty tap!
Kenren T: (confused) And what do you mean by that?
Sanzo: It's not your usual senseless chattering
Kenren T: Sanzo…I-HATE-YOU!!!
Sanzo: Must be the reason why the original Saiyuki author made the best-looking guy in my group.
