"Hey... Kouryuu." Goku said from his mat on the floor.
"Shut up!" Kouryuu yelled for the hundredth time that night.
"But I'm still hungry." The monkey whined.
"I don't care, now go to sleep." The young blonde held his pillow over his ears so not to hear the other's complaints. Goku had been complaining about his empty stomach and how hungry he was for over an hour, and Kouryuu had had enough. Happy to get some peace and quiet for a few precious moments, he blonde had actually begun to drift into sleep when a familiar voice roused him from his treasured silence.
"I can't fall asleep on an empty stomach."
"Too bad, if you don't shut up the other priests will hear you, and you won't be able to stay here."
"Oh, okay. But you gotta promise that you'll feed me in the morning." Goku replied.
"Whatever, just go to sleep.
Morning
"Goku..." Kouryuu repeatedly shook the said boy to wake him up.
"Ah... hungry..." The teen mumbled in his sleep as he rolled over on top of Kouryuu's arm. The blonde cringed, how would this look to the monkey?
"Go..ku... you're laying on my arm, get up." He said louder, hoping the monks in nearby rooms wouldn't hear. The boy slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Morning already?" He mumbled, then opened his eyes. "Sun!" He yelled, grabbing Kouryuu's hair and sending both of them toppling over.
"Hey, what'd you think you're doing?!" Kouryuu exclaimed. Pushing Goku off of him, only after the nuisance had managed to get some of his hair as a souvenir. He rubbed the side of his head painfully.
"Sorry. It looked like the sun." Goku apologized quickly. He glanced at the hair in his hands and looked away.
"Aren't you hungry or something?" The blonde asked, his head still throbbing.
"Yeah!" After Kouryuu had fed Goku without getting noticed by any of the monks, the uneducated monkey had to relieve himself. "I gotta pee! Really bad!"
"Okay, okay." Kouryuu sighed as he led Goku to the bathroom. He waited patiently beside the door for a moment before footsteps were heard.
"Oh, good morning, Kouryuu." Koumyou Sanzo greeted with a smile. "Are you guarding the bathroom?" He chuckled.
"N-no. Someone's in there."
"I thought all the other priests were still asleep." Kouryuu was about to think up an answer when the door opened, and Goku came out of the bathroom. "Who is this?"
"Ah!" Goku yelped as he saw Koumyou standing in front of him. He went to run away but the Sanzo priest held him back. He crouched over so they were at equal heights.
"So... the creature really didn't get away." He smiled at Goku. "Did he, Kouryuu?"
"Not exactly."
"Is this the 'pet monkey'?"
"Hey! I'm not a monkey." Goku pouted.
"He's not as dangerous as they say he is in the legend." The blonde explained quickly.
"I didn't think so. He can stay, but I'm counting on you to look after him." Koumyou replied. "What's your name?" He turned to the brunette.
"Me? Yeah, I have a name. My name's Goku!" He said excitedly.
"My, what intriguing golden eyes."
"Kouryuu-san has sun hair!"
"Hm?" Koumyou glanced at the young blonde who shrugged.
"His hair. It's like the sun." Goku explained.
"Oh, I see." The older man ruffled the boy's hair and stood up. "Keep an eye on him, Kouryuu." He stated as he walked away.
"Yes master." Came the reply from Kouryuu. "Goku, you must stay here and not get into trouble while I'm gone, understood?"
"Where are you going?" Goku asked frantically. "Why can't I go with you?"
"I'm going my studies, and you'll distract me if I take you along."
"No I won't. I promise."
"Listen, I'm not taking you with me, okay?" Kouryuu said firmly.
"All right. But you're not gonna let those other creepy people put me back in the forest, are you?" The golden-eyed boy asked suspiciously.
"No. Just stay in my room and don't go out unless it's an emergency. The other monks don't know that you're not a threat."
"What if I get hungry?"
"You'll have to wait. I'm not gonna be gone that long anyway. Take a nap, or read a book or something." Kouryuu sighed. "I've gotta go."
"Bye."
