Thanks for all the great reviews! Here's chapter 4! ENJOY & R-E-V-I-E-W!!
Disclaimer: I do not own Saiyuki.
Goku stared out the window in wonder, as did all the others, except for Sanzo. He stared straight ahead, and right through everything he was staring at. A lifeless body, that was alive. "Wow, what's that?!" Goku shouted every five seconds or so as he saw all the things he'd never seen before. Gojyo blinked as he saw the sign for a strip-bar, and Hakkai smiled content with the scenery around him, and all the new sights.
"We're going shopping boys…" She trailed off as she parked in a large parking garage. "Ginza, here we come!" She shouted, and threw her hands into the air. "I love spending company money baby!" She jumped into the air and laughed, letting her beautiful smile be shown to the world as her voice echoed.
Mia smiled. "Can I get stuff too?"
Kasadey clasped her hands together and nodded. "Hell yes!" She sighed and without thinking leaned into Sanzo.
His eyes turned as cold as ice. "Get off, or be killed." He bellowed. She tensed and quickly scampered away and hid behind Gojyo.
He grinned. "It's okay; don't be scared, he's really very sensitive." He talked in a squeaky, but hushed voice. Sanzo reached for his gun that was still missing. He cursed. "Tuff luck." He wrapped his arms around Kasadey and sighed and strolled out towards the streets.
"First off, we're making a sharp right into the men's department store…next, Sanzo no fans, or death threats unless you want to go to jail. This goes for everyone!" She sighed and pointed to the store as they reached the sidewalk.
A group of teenagers looked at them oddly. "Otaku-Otaku!" they laughed, waving their hands into the air. "Anime conventions in Kyoto dumb-asses!" they laughed shoving Sanzo towards the light post.
"You…" He shook his head and turned back.
Kasadey's eyes grew and she gritted her teeth and lunged forward and locked herself around his waist before he could try and harm them. "Sanzo, you can't!" She hissed.
He clawed at her arms and tried to pry her off. "Damn it…let…go…of me!" He hissed and wriggled around in her grasp.
She growled. "Not until you calm down!" She let out a shrill cry. Sanzo shuddered, and suppressed his anger. She took a deep breath and let him go. "There, was that, that hard to do?"
He pushed past her and walked inside the store and walked right back out. She smiled and pushed him inside. "Hello sir, oh…my look at the getups you boys have got on." He looked over to Kasadey and his eyes widened in delight. "Kasadey, darling!" he ran over and kissed her on the cheek lightly. "How's Reggie doing? We really need to go out again, I've tried calling, but he seems to always be out…" The man pouted.
She smiled. "Yeah, we're working full shifts now…especially cause of these four." She pointed towards them and they turned and arched eyebrows in her direction. "Do you think you can help them Jack?"
The man grinned wickedly. "Can I?" He scuffed, as if he were insulted by her question. "I'll have them looking like the finest boys in Tokyo by five o'clock, and if not, I'll resign from my job and never return to the fashion business again!" She jumped in surprise.
"I'm not asking for miracles Jack, just some new clothes would be—" He covered her mouth and slowly walked towards them.
He clapped his hands together and out of the shadows emerged two women in black, short dresses, with long back hair and dark colored eyes. "The best of the best." He ordered. They nodded and each took hold of one of the Sanzo party members. He eyed Goku and looked at Mia. "This one is all yours sweetie, you know teenagers better than I do." He winked and she nodded and took hold of Goku and dragged him upstairs to the teens clothing floor. Sanzo was the only one left. He coughed and looked at Kasadey with a look of contempt in his eyes. "Dear God, what have they done to you? What do you call this? I wouldn't even consider is a dress!" He barked. "No woman would even ware this thing." He shook his head. "We've got a lot of work to do with you. Kasadey, you're helping!" Sanzo slowly inched away and put a cigarette between his lips and pulled out his lighter.
"No…no way…" He shook his head. The cigarette was quickly removed and smashed in Jack's hand, and the lighter was thrown away. He shook his head and looked towards Kasadey who was just nodding her head.
"What's the big deal, you're just trying on clothes…" She trailed off and waltzed over to him and sighed taking his arm and leaning into him. Jack's eyes began to sparkle with delight.
"Kasadey, you never told me you two were dating!" Sanzo coughed and started to pull away.
"We're not—" She stomped on his foot and he gritted his teeth and let out a hiss.
"We're not telling anyone." She cooed, and ran her left hand down his torso. "We just met, and well, you know it wouldn't go over to big with the three stooges, and since he's also work…I really need to keep this one in secret." She winked and walked him upstairs. "So what are you thinking Jack?" She undid the tie on his robe and took hold of the scripture and held everything in her arms. Sanzo was left in his black shirt and blue jeans.
Jack nodded. "Well, you do have a good choice in men." He grinned and jogged over to the formal section and came back with several shirt and pants. "Go into the dressing room and try these on, and come out when you've changed."
Kasadey sighed as she shoved him inside. Jack blinked. "He's your man; get your ass in there too!" He hissed and shoved her into the dressing room and shut the door. She yelped falling back. Sanzo's arm grasped her on reflex and the two came tumbling down. Sanzo was in his jeans still, but his shirt was no longer on.
Jack opened the door after hearing the loud thumps and rustling. "Are you two okay…?" His eyes widened and he covered his mouth. "Oh my!" he shut the door quickly. Sanzo braced himself over Kasadey on the floor.
He took a steady breath before as he watched her try to move, his left arm blocked her. Looking under him, he knelt down on his left leg, placing it in-between her legs as she sat up and pushed herself away from him. Sanzo stood first and extended his arm without looking at her. She didn't respond, so he began to pull on his black shirt that Jack had thrown at him. Kasadey sat down on the small bench and held his clothes in his hands. "I'm sorry." She mumbled. Spike looked down at her. Kasadey's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she was chewing on her lower lip. "Jack likes to think every guy I bring in here is my boyfriend, and it gives him something to talk about and stuff. Besides, it means he'll put full effort into making the four of you look your best." She forced a smile onto her face.
Sanzo noticed, and turned back towards the mirror. "So…?" he turned and razed his arms into the air. She nodded and smiled brightly. "Is that a good thing?" He mumbled.
She laughed. "Yes," she poked at a white fuzzy on her hoodie. "It's called smiling, you should try it sometime…" She mumbled and sighed. "I'm going to go help Jack and explain what happened before he tells the others…our secret." Sanzo nodded and began to unbutton his shirt as she shut the door.
Jack popped out from the side. "He doesn't take long…" He trailed off, whispering into her ear.
Kasadey's green eyes widened and she nodded. "It's also because you shoved me inside Jack." She mumbled back. He narrowed his eyes. "Come on; let's get him some other things that he's going to need."
He nodded. "What about hair?" He mumbled. "Is the redhead that walked in, really a redhead?"
Kasadey nodded. "Isn't that color so great?!" She jumped up and down. "I don't think they need them, maybe a very slight trim for Gojyo, just to get rid of the split ends. As for the others, they seem okay." She blushed as she remembered Sanzo hovering over top of her.
After two hours of shouting, laughing, changing and resizing Kasadey handed Jack the company card and waited for the four legends to waltz down the stairs in their new clothes. Mia can running down and jumped off the four to last step and skidded over. "Finished!" she danced, twirling in circles. "Can I get this for myself?" She held up a shirt and pair of pants. Kasadey smirked and nodded her head. Mia turned back, you can come down now!" She shouted.
Goku popped his head around the corner and with a blush on his cheeks nodded and slowly stepped down the stairs. Goku was dressed in a pair of baggy tan pants help up with a black belt, along with an orange t-shirt. His hair wasn't changed. His shoes were vans, something simple, but new and fresh. Mia clasped her hands together and looked towards Jack.
He arched and eyebrow and walked around him as he got onto the ground floor. "Nice job Mia." He cooed and ruffled Goku's hair. He hissed and scampered over to Mia and hid behind her.
"Mia, make him stop." He ordered. "Use your magic stuff on him." He pointed towards Jack. Mia blushed, he had his arms around her lower waist and his head pressed up against her back.
Kasadey smiled and waited for the next one to come down the staircase. It was Gojyo's turn. Dressed in a baby blue shirt, and black pants, his red hair was pulled back into s ponytail. The first four buttons on his shirt were undone and he had a single, thin, gold chain dangling around his neck. Kasadey smiled with satisfaction. "Much better than the cartoon pants." She grinned.
Gojyo walked over and grinned warmly. "Really, am I that good looking?" He leaned into her. Kasadey pushed away quickly and walked towards Jack. "Karen you did a great job!" She waved towards the girl. She laughed and nodded her head.
Hakkai and Sanzo followed. Hakkai wearing an outfit similar to Gojyo's except his shirt was yellow. Sanzo however, went through a drastic change. "Wow, you ditched the dress!" Mia grinned. He wore the black shirt and black pants. His hair was pulled back a little with a ponytail, the outfit made his eyes sick out.
Jack took a bow as they all gaped his way. "You must give Kasadey some credit on this one." Jack walked over to Sanzo and nudged him in the side as Mia talked to the others. "Don't hurt her." He mumbled. Sanzo turned and looked over at him. "She might act tough, but it's just an act. She really seems to like you, so I don't want to see her walking around Tokyo by herself anymore." Jack jabbed him in the side. Sanzo gritted his teeth.
He looked towards Kasadey who laughed as Goku shouted an insult towards Gojyo. "I won't hurt her." He mumbled and walked towards the counter.
Hakkai sighed. "Where to now?" he mumbled.
Kasadey's eyes lit up. "First I'm getting changed, and so is Mia, and they after lunch, we're going clubbing!" She grinned and took hold of Mia and dashed up the stairs. They both laughed and Jack sighed, shaking his head.
Sanzo watched with dulled eyes. "So where are you all from?" He mumbled.
They all turned and stared at him. "The past," they all muttered in unison.
Jack nodded. "Hmm, there's a new one. Normally it's just people from other countries working on dropdown that she brings here. The past though, guess they got it to work then." He grinned. "If you'd like, there's a television in the back room with a couch, you can all sit down and watch something.
Goku's eyes sparkled. "You know magic too?!" He grabbed him by the arm and dragged him into the back room.
Sanzo rolled his eyes. "Shouldn't we be leaving?" Hakkai questioned. He looked towards the door and then up the stairs. Sanzo shook his head. Gojyo and Hakkai eyed him before shrugging their shoulders. "You're funeral."
++++++
It was late afternoon; the sun would soon be setting as they walked towards the club, top of the line, with the best music, a great place to see the famous actors, or to get yourself known. "This is it." Kasadey pointed towards the door. A red carpet was laid out for people to walk down. She walked over to Sanzo and linked arms with him. "You're my project, and date for the evening." She stated and tugged him forward. The pulse of the music made his feet vibrate with each step he took. She stopped at the door. "Baker," she mumbled and pointed to the others behind her. The man nodded and waved them inside.
Goku tugged as Mia's arm and leaned into her. "A secret magic word?" he mumbled.
Mia smirked. "No, they only let certain people in here, and with Kasadey being with us, and with the job she has, she can get clearance into any place she wants.
Sanzo swallowed as he walked in. Lights flashed quickly. The people seemed to be moving slowly, but in reality they were moving very quickly. It was very hot. People were brushing up against one another in a form of dance. The music was loud, but kept a beat to it.
Kasadey tossed her hands into the air and started to sway lightly from side to side. She turned around and grinned at them all. "Our tables over here!" she shouted over the noise and walked away and towards the bar. Sanzo followed slowly behind along with Goku and Mia.
"A peach sizzler…" She trailed off as Sanzo walked up behind her.
"…and two of your strongest." He muttered.
Kasadey's eyes widened. "What are you doing?" She hissed. "You can't have anything. Work would kill me!" She growled.
Sanzo's eye began to twitch and he pushed her against the counter again. "Say it again, I dare you." He whispered into her ear.
Her cheeks flushed and she bowed her head. "I was joking, you shouldn't get too angry, and you'll get kicked out. Hurry up, I want to dance some." She smiled, taking her drink and walking towards the table. Mia tugged on Kasadey's sleeve. "Hmm?" she questioned.
Mia glanced towards the bar. "Could you get us something Kas`?" She mumbled.
Kasadey arched an eyebrow up at them. "Something without alcohol, yes." She nodded. Mia narrowed her eyes. "Don't glare at me…" She rippled her lips together. Goku shrugged his shoulders.
"Do they have food?" His eyes began to sparkle. Mia shook her head. "That sucks." He whined. Mia smiled. "Come on, I want to dance with you." She took his hands and the two jogged down a small flight of steps and headed towards the DJ's box to request a song. "I need a song that Kasadey can talk Sanzo into dancing too." She smiled. "I think I know one that they'll get good marks on." Goku frowned before giving on up thought and going along with Mia's plan.
++++++
Kasadey swayed her hips lightly from side to side as she sipped from her drink. "What's that like?" Gojyo asked.
Kasadey took a sip and thought. "Well," she licked her lips. "It's like Peach Soda with a buzz." She shrugged her shoulders and straightened when the song changed. She smiled and put down her drink. They were playing one of her favorite songs. Away, but The Toadies. "Sanzo, get up." She ordered. He swallowed his second four shot of gin and shook his head before looking at her. Four shots and he was already feeling a strong buzz wave over him. So much for what he was told when he was younger. She reached her hand down. "This is my favorite song, I want to dance, come on." She tugged at him. Sanzo nodded and got up walking slowly along with her. She swayed from side to side again. Bending her knees she turned around and faced him. Walking him onto the upper platform she razed her hand into the air slowly and leaned into his frame, rubbing up against him.
Sanzo blinked and stood still, not knowing what to do. He was feeling dizzy, but wasn't going to fall down. "I'm sitting down—" She pushed him back and shook her head.
"Come on now. You don't know how to sway to a beat even?" She wrapped her arms around his neck and continued to dance. She pulled him down and bent her knees mid-sway.
Sanzo shut his eyes and let out a puff of air as the gin took over him. He nodded his head and moved along with her, placing his hands on her hips. She smiled and nodded her head. Moving in she pressed her cheek against his. "Stop," he mumbled. She shook her head and grinned. "I'll kill you." Her smile reached from ear to ear.
"You're too drunk." She cooed and sighed against the side of his neck. He shuddered. "You catch on fast." He turned and leaned her against the railing and eyed her. She stared into his violet eyes, with no fear, no change. She was still the same.
He smirked. "Whatever…" he mumbled and leaned his head in the crook of her neck.
She blushed fiercely. "Sa…Sanzo, you okay?" She ran her fingers through his hair incase he was just going along with everything, which in this case, was a big change.
He shrugged his shoulders. "I think I'm going to be sick." He made a gagging reflex. Kasadey gritted her teeth and pushed him up and turned him towards the table.
++++++
Gojyo and Hakkai were gaping in awe. For Sanzo to ever do something so…fun, it had to be the end of the world. Kasadey sat him down and told him to hang on as she ran to the bar to grab a small bag of ice and a bag incase he didn't get to the bathroom in time. "Not a word." He hissed his voice low and hateful.
Gojyo snickered. "I'm going to see if I can still get a date in the future." He sighed as he saw a group of girls on the floor laughing and dancing to the music.
Hakkai smiled and was content as he looked around. "She does something to you; I can tell just by the way you act around her. You never hesitated in the past, you'd just be rash without another thought, your thinking about your actions—" He threw up in the paper bag, seconds after Kasadey handed it to him.
Kasadey grimaced and rubbed his back. He quickly shoved it away and she took the hint and grabbed her drink and sat beside Hakkai. "He shouldn't have taken those shots. Gin'll get you drunk fast." She sighed mumbling to Hakkai.
He nodded. "I think that was the idea, but I don't think he wanted to throw up." He frowned.
She laughed. "Alcohol's gotten stronger, and has a lot more verity to it nowadays." She sighed and looked out towards the dance floor she spit out her drink and coughed looking out. "Mia!" She hissed.
Hakkai followed Kasadey's eyes. Mia had her arms around Goku's neck and as he leaned her into the back wall, and kissed her. "Well, everything here is a little unexpected tonight I think." Hakkai smirked and rubbed the back of his neck.
Sanzo groaned. "I'll kill him…" he mumbled looking towards Mia and Goku.
The shrill cry from Gojyo came from the left. The three turned as he came screaming back in no time and sat down in his seat, panting as he held his head in his hands. "Those girls…" he shuddered. "…they weren't girls…" His face was pale. "They were men in dresses." He whimpered.
Kasadey laughed out and nodded her head. "Yeah, lots of things have changed…" She looked towards Sanzo who took out and ice cube and popped it in his mouth and began to suck on it idly, trying to get rid of the bad taste in his mouth. "Maybe it was a bad idea dragging you in here." She sighed. "You two help Sanzo while I grab the juvenile delinquents."
Sanzo eyed her. The devil in carnet, deadly, beautiful, and mysterious all at once…
