"That's even better than the last time, Sanzo." The emerald eyes brunette said, smiling at the flaxen haired bishounen in front of him.
"And who was the one that refused to join in the first place." Gojyo said with a tone of jealousy as he watched Hakkai fussed over the blonde.
"Ch…I never says I am in. I am just bored." Sanzo retorted. Why am I here in the first place?
~Flashback~
"Sanzo, open the door and let me in." A brown haired boy banged on the door continuously. The impassive blonde in the house let out a soft 'ch' and a puff of smoke while reading his newspaper, completely ignoring the noise that was polluting outside his apartment now. It had been going on like this for a week since they first met. "Sanzo, let me in please." The boy pleaded for the umpteen times.
Then there was complete silence. Too silent. Sanzo looked up and stared at his hallway. Normally, if he gives up and leaves, he will just shout and let me know. Unable to take the silence anymore, he stood up and started walking towards the door. Still no familiar door pounding noise. He opened the door and saw a motionless figure sitting on the floor holding onto his stomach.
"What are you doing, saru?" Sanzo queried flatly as he leaned against the door.
"Hara etta…" The golden eyes lad whined followed by a loud rumbling sound. "Heh heh…" The youngster smiled apologetically.
"Come in." The older man commanded.
"Huh?" The brown haired youth blinked his eyes twice, digging into his ears to make sure that he was not hearing the wrong thing. Mr. Iceman was actually asking him to come into his house.
"Do you want to come in? I'm only offering once." Sanzo said uncaringly as he turned to walk into his kitchen.
"Hai." The lad beamed and closed the door after him. This is the first time I am in Sanzo's apartment. The place smells of lavender. His scent. "Nice place you have, Sanzo." He smiled casually and settled himself onto the sofa in the living room. "Are? This sofa is very soft." He laughed gleefully as he sat bouncing up and down on the sofa.
"Baka saru." Sanzo threw his paper fan in the direction of a bouncing brown haired.
"It's hurt, Sanzo. And my name is Goku not baka saru." Goku winced rubbing onto his injured head.
"That's a very expensive sofa. Don't you try anything funny with it." Sanzo then held out a plate of sandwiches. "Eat these." And he shoved the whole plate onto Goku's lap.
"You make all these for me?" Goku asked with tears glimmering at the corner of his eyes.
"Shut up and eat." Sanzo sounding very annoyed. Why am I doing all this? I must be going crazy. He slapped his forehead.
"Hai. Itadakimasu." Goku's vibrant smile appeared as he munched onto those sandwiches. "Ne Sanzo, can you just try out for the band? I think you have a very good voice." The tanned lad chattered in between his food. "Pleasssssssssse…"
Amethyst met gold.
No not those eyes again… I am going to regret this…
~End of Flashback~
*Growl*
"Ne Hakkai, can we go eat now? I am hungry." A tanned boy asked, tugging at Hakkai's shirt with his golden puppy eyes wide with hope.
"Are? I thought you just ate an hour ago, saru?" Gojyo stared at the brown haired boy in bewilderment.
"I am not a monkey, kappa! Besides, I am a growing boy." Goku protested as he held onto his rumbling stomach.
"Ya ya sure sure, you sure look like you had not eaten for 500 years." Gojyo mocked at Goku, imitating him holding onto his stomach.
"Why you erro kappa…" Goku growled at the laughing red haired. "Sanzo…kappa is making fun of me again!" The young lad pouted and stared at the band lead singer who stood there at a standstill. "Are?" He waved his hand in front of the older man a few times but still no reactions. "Sanzo!" He shouted.
Thwack thwack
"I am not deaf. You don't need to shout, baka saru." The grumpy blonde snapped back from his own thoughts. Seem like the infamous paper fan had made its appearance for the umpteen times this week too.
"I am just being concern, you kechi." Goku moaned while Hakkai trying to soothe him by massaging the injured spot on his head.
"Hakkai, you are acting like his mother now." Gojyo chuckled.
"Maa…maa…aren't I always the mother role?" Hakkai gave Gojyo a wink.
*Growl*
"Can we go yet? Hara etta…" Goku looked on the verge of fainting.
"Hai hai." The benevolent brunette answered smilingly.
And here I am stuck with these people. How ironic…
"Sanzo, are you coming?" Goku shouted from the door impatiently.
"Aaa…" Sanzo replied and walked towards the door. This is not good. I am getting too attached to the saru…
***************
"I want this, this, this, this and this." The genki golden eyes lad beamed as he pointed to almost anything edible on the menu list.
"Is that all, Sir?" The pink haired waitress sweatdropped and asked.
"Hai." Goku beamed wider.
The waitress nodded and she proceeded to take the others' orders. "Your order will be ready in 10 minutes." With that, she left.
"Hey saru, is your stomach made of rubber? " Gojyo asked sarcastically.
*Growl*
"I am so hungry that I could eat a whole dinosaur." Goku whined again.
"Yare yare desu ne." Hakkai just smiled as he sipped his tea.
"That's why there are extinct a few hundreds ago." Gojyo sneered at Goku again.
"Ch…" was all their blonde singer said as he gulped down his beer.
Soon, the pretty waitress came with their food and within seconds Goku was seen gobbling up his food.
"Hey kappa, that's my Nikuman." Goku bickered with a certain redhead.
"Haha… whoever get it first is whose. Besides, it does not even have your name written on it, saru." Gojyo laughed as he popped the Nikuman into his mouth and grinned.
"You erro gokiburi kappa that Nikuman is from my plate." Goku exclaimed. "So how about this?" He said as he snatched a dumpling from Gojyo's plate. Soon, the duo was engaged in a battle of who got the food first attracting strange looks from the other customers in the restaurant.
"That's my meatball. You baka…" Sanzo twitched at the mention of another food name.
Thwack thwack
The ever-famous paper fan had made it appearance again.
"Itai yo." The twosome groaned harmonically.
"Ano…maybe you two should quiet down before Sanzo gets angry again." Hakkai said kindly.
"Hai. Hai." The duo conceded, raising their hands to indicate an 'I surrender' sign.
"Goku…" A blue haired youth waved as he walked towards their table.
"Nataku, you are late." Goku gave his friend a pout.
"Gomen gomen. I was caught in the traffic." Nataku replied. "Today lunch on me, okay."
"Oki, sank you." Goku's eyes shone brightly as he flashed Nataku a big smile.
"Aaaa…" Sanzo nodded and continued on his beer extravaganza.
"Domo arigatou." Hakkai smiled.
"Today is my lucky day." Gojyo said as he signaled the pretty waitress for another dozen bottles of beer.
"Ha…ai…" Nataku sweatdropped and hung his head in defeat. I only mean Goku though.
Settling himself to the empty seat next to Goku, the indigo haired youth ordered a cup of cappuccino and asked excitedly, "So I heard that you guys are approach by NG. So how's it?"
"Ano, we are still thinking about it." Hakkai smiled casually.
"NG is a very big recording company you know. It is a very good opportunity." Nataku added.
"Yes, we all know. But…" Hakkai stopped and averted his eyes onto the blonde beside him.
"Mr. Scowling face just won't give us an answer." Gojyo finished the sentence for him.
"Huh? Sanzo, I thought you agreed to give it a try?" Goku asked with his golden orbs staring ingenuously at the lavender eyes singer.
"Aaa… only for a try." Sanzo nodded uncomfortably with Goku staring at him.
"Great." Hakkai beamed widely. Wonder what Goku do to make the stubborn Sanzo agree. Oh well…at least he agree at last.
"So what's the band name?" Nataku asked curiously.
"Huh? Band name? I forget all about that. Haha…" Hakkai scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"What do you mean by you forget, Hakkai? You are supposed to go back and think about it since the last time we talked about it." Gojyo raised an eyebrow and stared at the apologetic brunette beside him.
"O well…no use crying over spill milk. How about everyone giving their own suggestion?" Nataku suggested rescuing Hakkai from Gojyo's stare.
"Hai, that's a good idea." Hakkai nodded on the pretence of adjusting his glasses to avoid Gojyo's stare. "Let see…mmm…" He scratched his chin and stared out into the glass window.
"How about 'Meat bun boys'?" Goku suggested casually as he swallowed his umpteen Nikuman. "I just love meat buns." He smiled innocently.
"Are?" The foursome sweatdropped.
"Ne ne ne Hakkai, how is it?" A pair of innocent golden orbs stared at Hakkai making him feel bad telling Goku the truth.
"Ahem…we will give it a thought." Hakkai looked over to Sanzo who was still trying to avoid eyes contact with the saru.
"Hahaha…" Gojyo started to laugh out loud. "It sucks, saru. All you can think is food."
"Gojyo!" Hakkai, looking exasperated, tried to stop the redhead from laughing again.
"It's bad eh." Goku sulked into his seat looking very dejected.
"Goku, don't bother about him. I think that name is ermm… nice. Just that we need something more special." Hakkai clarified to the sulking boy.
"Honto?" Goku looked up.
"Hai." Hakkai smiled uneasily. Lying to Goku is the worst thing I can do.
"Oki." The once sulking boy was back to his usual genki self ordering more food and gobbling them up again.
"'Junk boys'?" Gojyo said after thinking for a while.
"You got zero talent just like the saru." Sanzo snide.
"Teme, you…" gritted Gojyo angrily. "Why don't you try giving some suggestions then since you are also in the group."
"I never say I am. You guys just insisted I am." Sanzo said flatly.
"How about 'Gravitation' since fate have pulled us together?" Hakkai interrupted before Gojyo could get back at the blonde.
"That's a nice one, Hakkai san." Nataku smiled and nodded with his arms crossed as he laid back into his seat more comfortably.
"3895?" Sanzo suddenly blurted out.
"Huh?" The rest looked at him with a kind of weird look.
"Ch…3 is for Sanzo, 8 for Hakkai, 9 for Goku and 5 for Gojyo. Each number represent one of us." Sanzo explained.
"Sou desu." Hakkai eyes brightened as he nodded. "This is interesting."
"This is good, Sanzo san. Numbers for a band name which is easy to remember and they represent each of you." Nataku was impressed.
"Hey bouzo, why is 5 last?" Gojyo asked curtly.
"Cos' I think the lousiest one should be put at the last." Sanzo scoffed at the fuming redhead.
"How about 'Mu Ichi Motsu' (Vanity of Vanities) since the band is make up of so many interesting characters?" Nataku suggested as he averted his eyes onto a certain drinking blonde and a fuming redhead.
"Mmm...let's have a vote." Hakkai flashed his usual smile.
==========================================================================================
So let's have a vote. Which one of the band name do you like better? Or you have a better one. Let me know in your reviews please.
Arigatoo for reading this fic.
