Sanzo's hand paused on the knob he was about to turn. He sensed something lurking in his inn room. He slid to the side and leaned against the wall as he withdrew shoreijuu. Reaching for the knob again, he slowly turned it and opened the door.
Nothing came flying out to grab him, but he still felt presence in the room. Stepping in cautiously, his eyes searched the darkness. There was more than one intruder, he found. Tightening his grip on shoreijuu, he silently reached a hand to the light switch.
His wrist was abruptly grabbed before his fingers touched the switch. Before he could aim his gun at the attacker, his cheek was being attacked with a quick peck and the room brighten.
"Happy birthday Sanzo!"
Hakkai cheered while Goku and Gojyo popped confetti on him.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?"
Sanzo was not angry, but at least he tried not to show that he was surprised by these guys. But what really surprised him was the other thing.
"Don't mind us Sanzo. We just thought that we should have a little celebration on your birthday, that's all! Come on; let's have your birthday dinner!"
Hakkai explained and walked towards the table in the middle of the room. They must have moved that table from somewhere for it was not included in the room furniture when they checked in earlier. Sanzo knew the green eyed man must have been behind this celebration thing.
"Yay! We can eat! I'm so hungry!"
Sanzo stood with confetti all over his head and shoulders, watching the duo happily feasting on the so called his birthday dinner. He was seriously considering whether to shoot them or to join them when an arm was laid on his shoulder.
"Surprised?"
Sanzo turned and met red eyes.
"It was you."
Leaving him a smirk, Gojyo turned and headed towards the table.
"Hey, saru! Don't finish everything by yourself!"
