"You must understand, Gojyo, that Sanzo has a past too. Something terrible must have happened to him that made him build up these walls around his heart."
"Walls around his heart eh?. Walls that only that baka saru can breach?" Gojyo answered with a bemused grin that caused several girls to swoon.
". only Goku can breach them." Hakkai repeated ponderously.

Sanzo heaved another sigh. He needed a smoke. Badly. He grabbed his cigarette pack from some secret compartment in his robe along with his lighter. He paused just as he was about to light it, gave another glance at the boy breathing laboriously beside him, stood up and walked to the window and decidedly leaned his head slightly out in an attempt to keep the fumes from the room. He inhaled a long drawn breath of the intoxicating fumes. He remembered once when Goku had asked Hakkai why did Gojyo and himself smoked and Hakkai and himself (more on part of Hakkai's gentle refusal to let him then he himself not wanting to.) did not. Hakkai then replied to him that it was not good for one's health. No less than three seconds after Hakkai had uttered his answer; Goku was by his side pestering him to give up smoking. He had of course gave his customary slam of the fan and asked him to mind his own business. Goku of course almost didn't let that deter him, but Hakkai had dragged him away and whispered something in his ear that seemed to satisfy him enough to keep him from asking that question from then on. He had always wondered what did Hakkai say to Goku, but the wondered more about Goku's instantaneous reaction to Hakkai's reply.
'Why does he care so much about me? Am I worth all this attention? What does he see in me? Am I even fit enough to be his 'sun'. Yes. that 'sun' matter, was that all that Goku cared about? His hair? No, he could have just pulled it out if he had wanted it. so what is it? What keeps him here with me?'
"Why? Do you want him to go?"
Sanzo swerved around and came face to face with one of the most annoying people he had ever met. Kanzeon Bosatsu; with of course, the sidekick general. Sanzo almost slammed his head against the wall. 'This is just what I need, the annoying as hell 'Goddess of Mercy'.
"Ch," Sanzo uttered his famous phase.
'Ah ah ah,' Kanzeon annoyingly sung into his thoughts. 'You should show me the respect I dutifully deserve.'
"Ch, if I did, I would had spat at your feet and thrown you head first out of this bloody room, and get the hell out of my mind." Sanzo masterfully replied.
"Show some res-" her loyal subornate dutifully said in defense but was cut of at the raise of the goddess's hand.
'Ahh. I'm sorry; I can't. no wait. correction to that . I won't. This I guess is just one of the perks of being a goddess.' Kanzeon cheekily replied with a thoughtful finger on her cheek to boot.
"Ch." Sanzo replied and turned his head towards the window again and tried his best to ignore her.
' I won't let you ignore me you know' The all familiar voice invaded into his reverie. Sanzo furiously turned around,
"What the hell do you want from me?!"
'Just a simple answer to my question'
"What question?! And get the HELL OUT OF MY MIND."
"Fine fine, your no fun," she added with a pout, "The one I asked when I came in."
'She asked a question? When?' -Flash back- He was deep in his thoughts when that annoying voice pierced through and said, "Why? Do you want him to go?"
Gojyo and Hakkai sat down at the local bar and ordered a drink each.
"Ne. Gojyo.what do you think they're doing now?" Hakkai asked with a slight frown on his face as he stirred his drink.
"You mean what Sanzo's doing to the saru, since he can't bloody hell do anything now, I mean heck! I bet he doesn't even know where in HELL HE IS!" Gojyo exasperatedly replied, showing for the first time, since an hour where they strolled out from the doctor's cabin, how worried he was.
Hakkai gave a long thoughtful look at Gojyo's bent head before replying,
"I guess. if you want to put it that way."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to raise my voice."
"Its ok," Hakkai replied with a trace of his characteristic smile "I know how I feel."
"I'm feeling something? Since when do I care about. the . bak..a sa.ru." Gojyo faltered as he saw Hakkai's smile widen.
"Fine, whatever, I take back what I said." Gojyo replied after seeing Hakkai's smile in check after a few moments.
'At least he's smiling, I don't think I'm really used to the frown of his that has been plastered on his face for awhile.'
