Author's Notes: Hi Minna-san, just a pre-warning in case anyone doesn't understand: Anything in Italics is poor stuck adult Sanzo talking and thinking since the others cannot understand a word of baby gurgles and giggles. Boy I just love torturing Sanzo this way, seems so funny and then having him have Hakkai look after him is an opportunity not to pass up! Well hope you enjoy! ^__^
Three Demons and a Baby!
At the yelling of Goyjo and Goku, large dewy amethyst eyes stared over at ruby and gold ones and instantly he began to cry. Hakkai sighed lightly and pulled baby Sanzo back to his chest trying to quieten the freaked out boy down.
"Let me explain..." Hakkai began as he went into his thoughts on the fact they shouldn't have been there, then hearing the voice, then Sanzo's transformation, the laughter, all the way up until now.
"So is this baby really Sanzo?"
"Of course it is Goyjo, I didn't just imagine it! And I would certainly never leave Sanzo behind!"
"Woah Hakkai, chill out man." Goyjo spoke with his hands raised up in surrender. Getting Hakkai angry and not trusting his words or judgments was not a good thing.
"And besides, look at him!" Hakkai spoke once more, thrusting the now non-crying Sanzo into the air once more, Goyjo and Goku staring at the small amount of golden hair and those unmistakable amethyst eyes. It couldn't be missed, he was Sanzo alright...and the boy was even frowning as well.
"Okay its Sanzo, so what do we do now?" Goyjo questioned and side glanced at Goku who was just standing there being a little too quiet.
"Well, we go to the village and figure out how to take care of a baby thats what. He'll need food for starters. After we take care of that we'll need to find a woman to help us shop for clothes and diapers and..." Looking at the horrified look on Goyjo's face Hakkai waved his hand.
"Don't panic Goyjo, this is my fault and I take full responsibility in looking after Sanzo. No offense but I doubt Sanzo would last a day in your care." Hakkai felt relieved when Goyjo laughed at his words.
"None taken pal. Oi, monkey, what's up? You're a little too quiet."
"Well, its just that Sanzo's...Sanzo's a baby now." And with that spoken Goku cracked up laughing as he pointed at the owlishly blinking baby who didn't have a clue what was going on. Goyjo started snickering as well after thinking about their immoral monk now being a baby and Hakkai...well he just frowned at his demon companions. His emerald eyes turned to see amethyst looking up at him and then he moved his head to Hakuryuu as he sat perched on his shoulder once more.
"Please transform and take us to the village Hakuryuu." He 'kyuued' in agreement and Hakkai got into the passenger seat.
"Would you mind driving Goyjo?" Hakkai questioned and felt Goyjo clap him on the shoulder before winking and replying with,
"No problem Okasan."
"Ne Hakkai, what should we do? I mean, how can Sanzo get back?" Goku questioned from the back of the jeep.
"I don't know Goku. I really don't know what we are going to do." And for the rest of the drive it was unnaturally silent, except for small gurgles here and there.

Where the hell am I?
There was a bright flash of light and amethyst eyes slowly opened up.
~ ~ ~ the darkness vanishes ~ ~ ~
"Oh good, you're awake." Came a melodious voice Sanzo recognised to be Hakkai's. Sanzo stared around the room in confusion as the chairs and table were quite large from his point of view. It just didn't seem right. Then his eyes finally made out Hakkai, a rather large Hakkai standing at the opened window.
Hakkai, what's going on? Why the hell are you so tall?
Sanzo was confused. Hakkai did nothing but walk towards him. Was his companion ignoring him? For what purpose? He looked up at Hakkai's form, the emerald eyed demon even larger now that he was looming over the top of him.
Hakkai what...? HEY! Put me down before I kill you! I can walk you know! Hakkai? Are you even listening to me?
"Sanzo, what are we going to do with you?" Hakkai softly voiced and continued walking towards the window.
I said I can walk on my own Hakkai! I... What the fuck?
Sanzo noticed a mirror as Hakkai walked past one and his large amethyst eyes stared at their reflections.
I'm...I'm a baby! But...when...how...why?
"Hey now, there is no need to cry, I'm not going to hurt you." Came Hakkai's soft voice as he sat on the floor with Sanzo in his arms.
I'm NOT crying you moron...I'm just... What's that noise? Fuck! I am crying! You stupid body, quit being such a pain in the ass! Be a man and stop crying!
"There, there, I'd never hurt you."
That's right, Hakkai would rather die then hurt us, so shut up already!
And then Sanzo sighed, the cries were gone as he stared up at the genuine smiling Hakkai. Adult Sanzo stepped back slightly in the darkness at noticing that look.
What was with that look? Wait, Hakkai, what the hell do you think your doing now? Hey, get your hands away from me!
The room was filled with baby giggles as Hakkai tickled Sanzo's bare belly.
"You see, I'm not here to hurt you at all."
I could SO kill you right now Hakkai.
A knock on the door ceased Hakkai's actions as he stood up, taking the still lightly giggling Sanzo as he headed for the door and opened it up. A pretty young woman stood there with bags in hand.
"Here you go Hakkai-san, everything a father needs to take care of their son."
"Err...he's not my son." Hakkai spoke while stepping away from the doorway to allow the woman inside.
"Oh?"
"He's an orphan I found along my travels, but I really do want to take care of him." Hakkai said with a small smile.
Nice acting Hakkai.
"That's so sweet of you Hakkai-san. So what's his name?"
"San...err...Genjo. Genjo's his name." How weird it felt for Hakkai to refer to Sanzo as that, but its not like he wanted any further attention placed on himself or the others for having a baby traveling with them and the fact he was actually called Sanzo. That wouldn't be good for them...and neither for Sanzo's supposed "reputation".
"San Genjo huh? That's so cute!" She gushed while smiling up at Hakkai. He let off a soft laugh as she had bought his fumble as Sanzo's last name. Good, she was a dumb woman.
"You know, he's got the prettiest eyes." She spoke once more and Hakkai looked down at Sanzo who was looking up at him with wide eyes and he had to agree with her. There was no anger in those eyes, which was quite surprising to realise and in fact they were just large, innocent and the purest of amethyst.
"Mm, yes he does." Hakkai responded and smiled at the young woman once more.
Your enjoying this aren't you Hakkai?
"Well I'll leave you to keep bonding and Genjo-chan, you behave for Hakkai-san okay?" Hakkai laughed at her words, watching as she pat the squirming Sanzo on the head before voicing something else and then left closing the door silently behind her.
"You've got such a handsome man taking care of you Genjo-chan, you're so lucky you know that? Well goodnight Hakkai-san, Genjo-chan."
Chan? Who the hell are you calling 'chan' lady? And you pat my head again and I'll KILL you!
Sanzo looked up to notice Hakkai was still staring at the closed door.
So, I gather you like her huh?
"Come on Sanzo, its time for your bath." And at that Hakkai nearly lost his hold on Sanzo as he squirmed furiously within his grasp.
I don't need to bathe with you! I can do it myse- Oh damn this stupid cursed body!
"There is no need to wriggle around so much Sanzo, we are both men...well sort of...and besides the way you are acting I would think you're nervous about bathing with me. I could give you to Goyjo or Goku if you like?" Instantly Sanzo stopped his squirming.
Hell no! Those two morons would drown me in a second!
"So I guess you can understand me then." Hakkai spoke and looked down at wide amethyst eyes.
"Just nod if you understand everything I've said Sanzo." Hakkai responded once more and watched Sanzo do exactly that.
"So it still is you only now you've been locked inside a baby's body unable to talk or pretty much do anything at all." Hakkai laughed at this discovery and received a classic Sanzo glare, which was quite humorous on a baby's face.
"Come on Sanzo, your a mess and you need to be cleaned, feed and in bed before sunset. That young woman said you'd rest well if you went to bed early so I thought I'd follow her guidelines." Hakkai grabbed some fresh clothes, towels and soap and headed for the bathhouse with Sanzo gripping his shirt and his chubby chin resting on his left shoulder as he headed down the hallway. If Hakkai had eyes in the back of his head he would have seen a classic scowl on Sanzo's chubby face as he didn't like this arrangement one bit.
I'm so going to kill whoever did this to me.
