Author's Note: After some thought, consideration, and encouragement, it has been decided that I create a Bad Friends sequel. I have titled this sequel, Rebirth. I hope you enjoy this story as much as the other. If you have not read Bad Friends yet, I suggest that you do. =] Anyways, on with the fanfiction!

Chapter 1: Misunderstood

-[Sanzo POV]-

The world never ceases to amaze me with its complexity. Everything always has to be complicated, one thing or another. Everything has to be linked at some point. You never get a goddamned break! Which is why I'm sitting here trying to fill out college forms and with that bakasaru watching me. I growled in frustration and slammed down my pen, causing Goku to jump.

"For the last time, STOP STARING AT ME!"

"But I want to make sure I apply to the same ones as you do so we can both get into it!" pouted Goku, sticking out his lower lip. It was a cute act, but I was beyond annoyed. He couldn't simply win me over with a single pout anyways.

"If you don't stop staring at me, I'm going to kill you." I said glaring at him.

"But I'm not doing it to annoy you! Plus, you wouldn't kill me."

"Don't be so sure of yourself, bakasaru." I growled. He was right though. I wouldn't kill someone like him since he meant a lot to me. The worst part is that he knew about it, too. Damn. I picked out one of the forms and began filling it out, the rustling of paper reaching my ears. I looked up to see Goku filling out the same form. "You know, even if you enter that doesn't mean they'll accept you."

"But there's a chance right?" said Goku, still scribbling.

"Tch, suit yourself." I grimaced slightly. Goku never really did well in class and was far from my level of education. All this meant was that there was a bigger chance we'd be separated than together. I finished filling out the form and lay back. High school had ended crappily. What is it with homophobes these days? At least Principle Bosatsu didn't make too much of a fuss out of the whole thing.

"Sanzo!"

"What?!" I asked irritably.

"That one's really picky about grades..." whined Goku, looking at my paper.

"So? I'm not going to some cheap college." I retorted reaching into my pants and taking out a box of cigarettes. I recently picked up the habit, and boy did I need a smoke about now. I stuck the white stick between my lips, fumbling slightly with my lighter before lighting it. I instantly relaxed, or was about as relaxed as I could get with the damn monkey around.

"But what if you do get in? I don't want to stay so far away from you..."

"As long as you don't cheat on me and I don't cheat on you, there's nothing for you to get so worked up about." I growled.

"Are you saying that I would?" inquired Goku immediately.

"Tch, how would I know?" But I knew he wouldn't. That idiot's a lovesick puppy at my feet. It makes me feel sort of weird...too weird. "And nothing's for sure yet...We can still go...to the same one." I said hesitating as I said the words. Goku immediately brightened and glomped me.

"I love you, Sanzo."

"Get the hell off of me before I break your neck." I muttered. The boy instantly began to pout.

"Why do you have to always do that? It's almost like the only time you want to be touched is during se-"I cut him off with a chaste kiss, leaving him speechless.

"Just shut up. I like you better when you're quiet." I said, sliding a hand through my shiny golden hair and pushing him off of my lap with a smooth, but not quite violent motion. "Plus, consider it lucky that we even have a CHANCE at being in the same college." Goku cocked his head at what I said.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Nevermind that." Damn, I can't believe I let it slip. I'm supposed to keep this as a secret for Hakkai until he gets the guts to tell Gojyo and Goku himself. I wonder what that bastard's doing now.

"Sanzoooooo! You know I hate it when you keep secrets from me!"

"Like I care. You'll find out sooner or later, bakasaru."

"I want to know NOW!"

"Stop acting so spoiled! It's not that important anyways, and if you continue to make such a ruckus i'm-"

"You're gonna kill me."

"...Shut up." I said, whacking him over the head with a pillow.

Flaming-river: Well...That's it for now. Next chapter features Gojyo and Hakkai! I hope you enjoy this sequel. =]
