Chapter 1: Rendezvous

~"I love you." Those are the words that people want to hear. Not from just anyone, but by someone they truly love themselves, someone they care for, no matter how much they don't show it. Just remember that someone's also waiting for you.~
I shut the book, disgusted by what it said. Love? Who needed that crap? There's just that bakasaru who waltzes in from time to time asking for food, that perverted redhead and that smiling brunette. My name is Genjo Sanzo, most people just call me Sanzo. I'm a senior year student at Shiroyume High and let's just say, this place is incredibly dull. I don't remember the last time I had trouble in any of the subjects so school's just boring now.
A loud bang interrupted my musing. You'd think I'd be used to it by now.
"I KNOW YOU STOLE MY LUNCH YOU ERO KAPPA!"
"I DID NOT YOU STUPID MONKEY!"
"I'M NOT A STUPID MONKEY!" I heard some more crashing and banging as the two rolled inside the classroom, fighting.
"Oh my, they're at it again aren't they?" came a voice from behind me.
"What do you want, Hakkai?" I asked, turning around to face the younger green-eyed boy. He had that smile on his face as always.
"Nothing, just watching the two." The brown headed brunette adjusted his glasses and sat down in his seat in back of me. I "ch"ed and then got out my paper fan, whacking both idiots on the head.
"Both of you, get to your seats and shut up."
"Itai, Sanzo..." said Goku holding his head. I headed back to my own desk and grabbed a book out of my bag before sitting down and reading it. Goku and Gojyo, who sit on opposite sides of the room, made faces at each other until I put the fan on my desk. I could hear Hakkai chuckling quietly as the two stopped.
A few moments later, the teacher ended and thus began another indifferent day at school. Funny thing how teachers drone on and on about their own lives rather than actually do their job. It was only to be broken once by someone delivering Goku's lunch. Hmph, figured that he'd leave it at home.
Half way through class, I saw a piece of crumpled paper fly over and hit Goku on the head. I turned to see Gojyo, smirking at the idiot. Another piece of paper was thrown and hit its target. Then another. And another. It became evident that Goku wasn't gonna take it and soon, it had evolved into an all out war. I was getting quite annoyed with their childish behavior.
"STOP ACTING LIKE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS!" I yelled.
This earned me full attention of the classroom. I didn't give a damn about that though. On the other hand, there was still the teacher to deal with. A point of the finger and I was on my way to the principal's office once again. Before I left, I made sure to give Gojyo and Goku a dirty look. The hall was had an ominous silence but I was unfazed. The only sound that was heard was the squeaking of my shoes against the polished tiles. I slid open the door and was greeted by a stern gaze. I looked back with the same intensity if not more.
"Please, take a seat, Sanzo." I made my way to one of the ugly brown plastic chairs. "You do realize why you're here, right?" I said nothing, but just continued to look at the principal. She was such a pain in the ass. Principal Bosatsu. She's both ugly and annoying. Every single time I sit in her office it's always blah blah this blah blah that, nothing ever new. I've practically memorized what she was going to say!
"This has been the tenth time you've disrupted a class this quarter. It's simply ridiculous. I know you are a good student, but that doesn't mean that the others are. Smacking the kids with the lowest grades with a paper fan or yelling won't help them. Your antics are perhaps even more rigid than some of the teachers at this school.
"I'm going to return you to class now. You may go, but learn a little self- control or else I'll have to schedule a parent conference." I left, slamming the door of her office angrily and headed back to the classroom where I was greeted by a bunch of whispering classmates. The moment I stepped in, there was instant silence. I sat down and the day continued almost disturbingly quiet. I could feel eyes on the back of my head from all three of them, but nobody said anything. Perhaps the two had finally learned to shut up.
When I stepped outside for break, that bakasaru had come up to me, eyes glowing apologetically.
"Gomen, Sanzo."
"Well if you wanted to make it up to him, then you shouldn't have thrown all those damn papers at me you stupid monkey!"
"Shut up! You started it, you perverted kappa!" The two began yelling, pissing me off even more than I already was.
"Hey!" I turned around and met face to face with a group of kids. I recognized them as the -popular- people
"What's a guy like you, hanging out with these nerds?"
"WHAT?! We're not nerds!" replied Gojyo and Goku defensively. Both of them were ignored.
"You should hang out with us sometime, after all, you're pretty popular with the girls you know."
"Sanzo is our friend, not YOURS!" yelled the bakasaru.
"What are you, gay?" scoffed one of the kids.
"I'm not gay! He just belongs with us that's all!"
"Since when was I your property?" I cut in. My purple eyes locked with his golden ones. "Everyday I have to keep you idiots out of trouble and get into complicated situations myself. For what? Nothing! I'm tired of seeing you pull fucked-up stunts. I'm not hanging out with you guys anymore!" and I meant what I said.
"San..zo.." I heard Goku plead quietly, but I just turned away from him and followed my new friends.

Flaming-River: Liked it? There's gonna be more stuff in the other chapters. This one mainly focused on Sanzo, but you'll get to see the rest. Please R&R!!!
