Chapter 9: The Moment You Start Falling

-)Goku POV(-

I danced for hours and hours. The pounding music and the luster of the bright lights no longer bothered me. It was almost as if I belonged here, my skin shining a bit with sweat. I paused slightly to watch Kougaiji DJ before flinging myself into the music's quick tempo. I almost felt like I could fly.

It was nearly 2 o' clock in the morning before I realized that I should go home. Sanzo would probably be wondering why I hadn't made my nightly call yet. I scrambled over to Kougaiji who was letting someone else fill in his position.

"Kougaiji! I need to get home!" I had to yell slightly over the loud music. The scarlet haired teen looked over at me and nodded.

"Go grab your stuff. I'll meet you outside." I wasted no time in racing over to the bar to get my jacket and cell phone. When the bartender handed me my things, he seemed to want to say something to me, but kept his mouth shut.

I brushed any thoughts off easily, my mind set on getting home. Calling Sanzo this late probably wasn't the best thing in the world, but it was worth hearing his voice if only for a few seconds. I bolted out of the club, shoving my cell phone into my pocket and hurriedly tying my jacket around my waist.

Kougaiji was already outside, as promised. He pointed over to a black and purple motorcycle before briskly walking over to it and mounting the bike easily. I followed suit, sitting behind him. He handed me a helmet and I snapped it on before hesitantly wrapping my arms around his waist.

We sped off quickly, my grip tightening unconsciously around Kou's waist as the world went around in a blur. I was slightly intimidated at first, but with the wind whipping against me and the speed we were going at, it really felt as if I had gained the power of flight. We paused at a stop light and Kougaiji turned to look at me.

"Hey, where to from here?" he asked, although it was slightly hard to hear with the helmet on.

"Just go straight for the next to blocks and then make a right. After that it's just a straight road," I said. I let out a small cry of surprise and clung tightly to his shirt as we began to move again. It was a matter of minutes before we reached the apartment complex. I hopped off the motorcycle, removing the helmet and handing it over to Kougaiji.

"Thanks for the ride and for all the fun!" I said happily. I turned to walk up the stairs when a slight pull at my sleeve stopped me. I turned around and blinked at Kou.

"I'll walk you up to your apartment." It wasn't a question at all, but it wasn't as if I minded either. I just smiled agreeably as he got off the bike, taking the helmet with him. We walked silently to my apartment, but the atmosphere was calm and friendly. I stopped at the door, bringing an end to our meeting.

"Well, this is my apartment. Thanks again for taking me out. Maybe we can do this again some time," I said with a grin. He grinned back at me.

"Sure thing, Goku." Suddenly, I heard the door swing open, hitting the wall with a slight bang. Startled, I whirled around and saw Sanzo standing in the doorway. My face lit up immediately and I prepared to hug my boyfriend. I stopped once I saw his eyes though. They were dark, and filled with resentment, almost making me want to step away from Sanzo.

"Sanzo, is something a matter?" I asked, a bit afraid of his eyes. I watched as his gaze went over to Kougaiji and some tension between the two began building. I was scared in a way. I had felt like I had everything I could've wished for before this moment, but that's the moment you start falling...

xX-z-Xx

-)Sanzo POV(-

I was staring angrily into the bright violet eyes of a man, a man that I truly suspected to be this...Kougaiji. He seemed not to be bothered by my death glare, but kept his mouth shut and his expression serious.

"Are you Kougaiji?" I asked, growling slightly.

"Yeah," he answered, nonchalantly. The rage I felt inside suddenly exploded forth as my fist connected with his face.

"You bastard!" I spat. He was thrown to the floor, his left hand rubbing his cheek. I heard Goku let out an astonished gasp at what I did. The scarlet-haired teen seemed to rise easily to his feet though and in a swift moment I caught a blow in the stomach.

"Sanzo! Kougaiji! Please stop!" I heard Goku yell. I watched as Kougaiji stepped away from my side.

"Sorry Goku. It's not my fault that he decided to randomly attack me," said Kougaiji in a rather calm voice as he leaned against the wall.

"What do you mean no reason?! You're trying to steal my fucking boyfriend!" I yelled, stumbling to my feet. "Unless you play with people's hearts, then you wouldn't understand!" Something latched around me, pinning my arms to my sides and dragging me down with weight at the same time. It was Goku, holding onto me.

"Please...just please stop fighting! I wasn't cheating on you Sanzo! I don't know where you even got such an idea from!" said Goku, beginning to cry. There was silence, except for Goku's sobbing and sniffling.

"I'm going to go." I heard Kougaiji say as he walked away. I was left alone in the hallway with the saru hanging onto my waist, sniffling slightly. With a small sigh, I led the both of us inside.

.-:H,-H-,H:-.

Author's Note: Sorry for the slight delay, I was away all day at school and then a party. The drama is continuing to build, and I have to get Gojyo and Hakkai back in the picture.
