"We priests won't tolerate an unholy prescence!" The monk stated. "Kouryuu, keep the demon here while I got fetch Sanzo."
"Yes." Kouryuu sighed as he watched the panicked man leave.
"I'd get out of here if I were you." He said as he glanced at Goku.
"Where do I go?" The brunette asked.
"Follow me." The blonde growled as he led the monkey towards the back of the temple. He pushed a few bushes aside to reveal a small door. Openening it, he ducked and went through, waiting for Goku to follow suit. "Koumyou Sanzo showed me this passage. Not many monks know about it."
"Ah... who is Koumyou Sanzo?" Goku asked as he crouched over to fit into the small passage-way.
"He's my master."
"Master?"
"Yeah. He's my teacher." Kouryuu explained.
"Oh. Teacher. I get it." Goku replied thoughtfully.
"This'll lead to the back of my room. I'll keep you there till the commotion settles down. Then, you're outta here."
"T-thanks." The brunette said, still following Kouryuu down the narrow way. Once they stopped, the young priest-in-training jiggled a small door handle and slowly opened it. He and Goku crawled out.
"So this is-"
"Shut up." Kouryuu demanded, standing still.
"Koumyou Sanzo! Come quick! The demon from the forest was released!" The shout sounded through the thin walls of the temple. "Kouryuu's got him outside!"
"Calm down and lead me to them." Koumyou replied calmly. Footsteps were heard padding passed Kouryuu's room and down the hall.
"Okay, it's safe now."
"Hey, as long as we're here, can I have some food?" Goku inquired. Kouryuu was about to refuse the query, but glanced at his necklace still in the monkey's hands.
"If you give my necklace back." He replied.
"Okay." The brunette handed him the strung beads.
"I'll go get you something to eat. You stay here, and don't mess around, okay?" Kouryuu sighed.
"Yup." Goku answered, smiling at the fact he was going to get fed.
Meanwhile
"I don't see this demon you spoke of." Koumyou Sanzo said as he looked around the temple grounds.
"I swear, it was here just a moment ago. I told Kouryuu to watch it, he must've captured him." The monk replied in a panic.
"Oh, there's Kouryuu." Koumyou replied as he saw the young blonde inside the temple. "Kouryuu! Please come here."
"Yes?" He asked as he approached them. 'What am I gonna say about the creature?' He racked his brain for an answer.
"Did you see the demon?" The Sanzo inquired.
"Uh... yes. I tried to restrain him... but he got away. I chased after him, but he disappeared into the forest." Kouryuu lied quickly.
"Well then, in the forest it will stay." Koumyou stated as he headed back inside the temple with Kouryuu. He saw a flash of brown and gold and paused. "Kouryuu, did you find a monkey to be your pet?" He smiled.
"Y-yeah. I was hoping I could keep him as a pet." The blonde fibbed again.
"That's perfectly alright. Just see to it that it doesn't get into any mischief." The Sanzo replied, then walked away.
"Stupid monkey." Kouryuu hissed as he looked through the halls for Goku. He couldn't believe the idiot was running around in the halls, he had specifically told him not to mess around and stay there! He peeked inside one of the rooms, and found Goku. "What do you think you're doing in here?"
"Ah... I was looking for you. You were gone for a long time and I thought you got hurt. But I kinda got lost." Goku admitted truthfully.
"Come on." Kouryuu grabbed the monkey's arm and dragged him out of the room and back to his own. "Nobody is supposed to see you. If you do, they'll seal you back in the forest. You don't want that, do you?"
"No." Goku shook his head quickly. "I just wanted to stay with you."
"You can't stay here forever, you'll have to leave sometime."
"But... what about food?" The brunette whined with puppy-dog eyes.
"Fine." Kouryuu took a bread roll and some vegetables out for him.
"There isn't any meat." The creature said as he looked the meal over.
"It's either that or nothing." The blonde replied.
"'Kay." Goku said before devouring the food at a dangerous speed.
"You're gonna choke to death if you eat that fast." Kouryuu stated as he watched the monkey clean off his plate in mere seconds. He glanced out the window. The sky was dark and dotted with stars. "I guess you can stay the night." Kouryuu sighed.
