Acceptance-Since You've Been Gone

Summary: At long last, Goku gets to meet the sun he has missed for a long time. Unexpected things will happen, though good or bad, you have to find out yourself. This chapter was written while listening to Kelly Clarkson's 'Since U Been Gone' and it really fit the title. -smiles-

Warnings: Language, yaoi and lime.

Disclaimer: The day I own Saiyuki is the day I get full marks my second language.

Wow… I really took a long break, didn't I? Ahem… today is the day when I write lime for the 39 pairing -cheers- Well, 939 to be specific. I like Goku a thousand times more than Sanzo. I'm not exactly enchanted with Sanzo myself, though he is a beautiful uke (ho ho ho). I guess it's because Sanzo reminds me so much of myself. Or the fact that I always get Sanzo as a 'boyfriend' whenever I do the relationship quizzes and I don't want to see that my future spouse is going to end up corrupted. But Goku doesn't really care, so I will give him an enjoyable time here. -grins evilly-

ZL: Do I really seem to be older?Some people still think I'm in elementary school -sighs-And you're so lucky that you're mum or anybody else for that matterdoesn't come on often. People in my family seem to have this addiction to computers, which is why we have three computers in the house, not including laptops. -sweat-
You really like Hom/Goku, eh? I might consider doing a one-shot entirely about them if you want to… but be warned, I'm not experienced writing lime like the other writers.

Koryu-Sanzo: Thanks a bunch for the compliment! I'll try to have the chapter completely drenched in lime juice for everybody's and myenjoyment. XD

Koto-Juri: I couldn't spell your name out correctly because doesn't allow many symbols. Sorry. Yeah, I felt bad for making Goku suffer so much but he is going to have the great time here! -perverted side takes over-

Be prepared. It wouldn't be all the sap and fluff you might expect when Sanzo and Goku meet. I felt rather depressed when I was writing this as I had just received my essay test and needless to say it was depressing. And I had quite a bit of trouble writing the lime, as I wanted it to be more than kissing and whatever. I had to spend a pretty long time thinking about it.

I shook violently. Where was he?

If I don't find Sanzo soon, Tentei will come after me for neglecting my 'duties'. I keep on calling for Sanzo continuously, but there's no answer. But I forget that he is just a human now, without the ability to hear any calls out of earshot. Sanzo, where are you?

"Shut up… keep quiet… you're too noisy!"

"What the hell are you talking about, you damned monk? Is my yawning so loud and conspicuous that you have to ask me to shut up?"

"No, no… wait a second, Gojyo. He's dreaming. Don't disturb him."

"He's already asleep? Well, I can hardly tolerate his manners and insults when he's actually conscious, but cursing me in his sleep? That is going too far!"

"Haha… well, we don't really know if he's cursing you or not…" Hakkai said good-humouredly. "I think he's having a pretty bad nightmare… or a very noisy one, to be specific."

"That monk sure has some strange dreams…"

"But to think that even in his sleep he's still bugged by annoying people is rather tiring, don't you think?"

"I guess. All I know is that I'm well glad that I didn't do anything bad in my past life to receive that kind of tiring punishment."

"Do you really believe in that?"

"Hell no. But I still feel as if we've done something and left somebody behind… Can't explain it at all."

"Yes… Maybe Sanzo's thinking about the thing we left behind, hmmm?"

"He probably wouldn't care. The oh-great-worldly monk is now all set on the sutras and nothing else. He wouldn't have any time for the thing he lost such a long time ago anyway."

"Is that so?"

ANSWER ME, SANZO.

The darkness was so black that even Goku's demon eyes could hardly see through it. Only his ears were guiding him to where Sanzo could be. A light from a solitary window penetrated the darkness like a knife. Goku crawled to the light eagerly, as if it could heal him and cure him of all pain. It wasn't really the light, but a silhouette and familiar, irritated murmurs behind the window that excited him.

Sanzo woke up from that horrible dream to the grumblings of a kappa. Not a nice way to be woken up. He screamed at the lady at the counter to give him another room, ANY room, as long as it was far, far away from his two 'slaves'. Or she would die.

One of the visitors at the inn was sensible enough to move out at that moment or women's blood would have been smeared all over the immaculate floors. The irate priest thus slammed and locked the door and started smoking to drown out his irritation.

"Shit."

What the heck was that dream about? It wasn't really a dream, just total blackness with a voice screaming his name. Usually that happened when you were mental or the inn had some ghost. He certainly wasn't mental so it meant the place was haunted. Yeah, with a ghost that just wouldn't shut its trap. He wished he studied the book 'The Idiot's Guide to Exorcising Ghosts: Satisfaction Guaranteed'. It would give him an idea on how to get rid of it.

He tried to go to sleep, but something was bothering him. It didn't give him a frightened feeling, which bothered him even more.

Two golden suddenly appeared in front of him. So bright and pure, yet they seemed to be weeping at the same time.

Two bright suns swirling with emotions.

In a flash, they were extinguished and went out of sight, but they had left too deep an impression on Sanzo's mind to be anything but an illusion.

The half-irate monk's instinct got the better of him, and he lashed out.

The two golden suns materialized into the eyes of a boy. Or was it?

The stupefied monk was first under the impression that the creature was a boy, then a man, but after that, he finally concluded that it was both, or neither, like the half-breed. It was neither here nor there.

It made Sanzo wary. And a wary Sanzo meant a dangerous Sanzo. He lashed out yet again, and this time his gun connected with the head of the child-man. He peered at him closely, and he knew him.

He was the boy of his dreams.

'Wait… what did I just think? Scratch that!'

He was the boy IN his dreams.

That was much better. Now it didn't sound like he was some desperate.

"Who are you? And why do you keep appearing in my dreams?"

Finally the monk realized he had gone mad. He had just asked some complete stranger in his room why he had appeared in his dreams.

Before he could do anything else, he realized that the boy yes, he finally decided that the child-man was a boywas laughing. Not that sort of evil laughter. Those sort of half-sad, half-happy sort of laughter.

Before he could do anything, the boy suddenly curled around his waist with a warm hold, but it was so tight the monk could hardly breathe.

"So much like Konzen… hits me like Konzen and gets angry like Konzen…"

Goku didn't realize how much he had missed those Public Displays Of Affection (translation: hits and whacks and insults) until Sanzo rammed him on his head. It hurt, but it still made him feel strangely happy. He had forgotten how the sun's touch was like, and it made him satisfied that he had managed to feel it again.

Sanzo, on the other hand, was currently not feeling the same thing.

He felt alarm bells going off in his head but what alarmed him even more was that the pure warmth from the boy was muffling the alarms in his mind.

And what was wrong with the boy? Was he so much of a masochist that he laughed with joy whenever he was whipped? If that was true, hitting him would NOT be an option. It would arouse the youngster even more.

And even him.

No. He did not think that. The ghost of this room had to possess him to think like that.

Fine. He admitted he wanted the boy and he as hell needed to explore him. The youngster's body, he meant.

Well, at least he was sure that was what his physical self wanted, though he wasn't sure about the rest.

And Sanzo-sama usually got what he wanted, with a bit of yelling here and there. But he had better find out the name of the boy first. And age.

"What's your name, kid?"

Golden-Eyes jerked up from his daydream. He looked strangely sad for a while, but he answered:

"My name's Goku. That's all you need to know."

"Age?"

Goku smiled. "I don't know. I forget. But I'm older than you. Much, much older."

Goku isn't jailbait, then. Wait. Did I lock the door?

But before he had anytime he had to react -Goku obviously didn't care about people barging in when they were making love- Sanzo was wrestled to the floor, and the most delicious pair of lips was forced onto his, completely bruising in intensity. But Sanzo found that he really, really enjoyed it. Maybe I'm a masochist too.

Sanzo forced the Goku over, scowling, not letting a kid -though Goku already claimed he was older- get the better of him, and ripped the clothes off him in a frenzy

Oh hell. OH HELL. Sanzo was pleased he had ripped the clothes off Goku fast or it would have been a pity to have the sight and touch even more delayed. It was obvious that Goku was a virgin, the skin untouched and bronzed. He began moving his hands over the virgin skin and it was so smooth he felt almost dirty, but the almost dizzying feeling of being the first one allowed to touch Goku's skin and tasting it was so good…(1)

Now all Sanzo wanted to do was to hear Goku make a sound. He bit hard into the glowing flesh, and all he could hear was Goku breathing harshly. Not good enough.

He ran his tongue over the bleeding wound, and it was so sweet and intoxicating, he sucked even harder, wanting to get more of the sweet blood. Oh fuck… he needed more of it… it was even more addicting than his handy beer

FUCK. Damned smart-ass.

Goku had taken that chance to let out the moan. He knew how much Sanzo wanted to hear it, so he moaned right beside Sanzo's ear. Loudly. The moan seemed even louder and deeper to Sanzo, the sound emitted right next to his hearing organ. Sanzo shuddered with intense pleasure, and he let his guard down. The next moment, he found Goku right back on top of him, this time stripping him, and biting down on him even more aggressively than he did, and he felt Goku's tongue move into his mouth yet again, his hands exploring the rest of his anatomy… and the next thing he knew, Goku was grinding hard into him, harder then he ever had felt, and with Goku swallowing up every moan he emitted, the heat rising higher and higher

Let's just say they spent the rest of the night in absolute bliss.

Sanzo woke up the next morning aching all over. Goku was gone, but the rumpled sheets and aching was sign enough that it was no dream.

Somebody knocked on the door, and a shout came over.

"Oi! May the almighty Sanzo-sama wake up from his sleep, as we, you know, have a journey to continue!"

"Sanzo? Yare yare,maybe we did disturb him too much last night…"

Sanzo immediately threw his clothes on and opened the door extremely grudgingly.

"What?"

"'What'? Is that all you can say when you have almost slept half the morning? Oh hell, what the heck happened here? It's like somebody just had sex here…" The full meaning finally settled in both Gojyo and Hakkai's mind. I guess that is what happens when you happen to travel with an overly-intelligent youkai and a half-breed who was very well-informed indeed on issues related to sex.

"Sanzo… would you mind telling us what happened?"

That's it. I'm doomed.

"The boy's name was Goku?"

"Hey… it sounds familiar for some reason!"

"Wait a minute, Gojyo. I think I've heard it before… Goku… Son Goku… Oh dear."

Sanzo stiffened. What was up with Goku's name? "Out with it, Hakkai."

Hakkai sighed and explained. "Don't you remember, Sanzo? The current fighting god appointed by heaven?"

"The fighting god Nataku Taishi who slayed Gyuumao, yes. And it is said that the successor is a monster, who is only living to kill," Sanzo lit up a cigarette. "Not that I mind, really, since he helps get rid of a lot of unnecessary idiots. It is also said he lost three of his friends, one of them being his guardian, because of a foolish thing he had done in heaven but Tentei decided to lessen the punishment for him and decided to appoint him as the new Toushin Taishi."

"Wow. That poor guy probably lives a very shitted life," Gojyo remarked. "Lessened punishment? I think they recorded the wrong word in the history book. 'Prolonged punishment' seems to be more suited."

Sanzo looked at him irritably, but he returned his attention to Hakkai. "Anyway, I don't see what the toushin taishi has to do with the name Goku. Hurry and make your point."

"What is the name of the name of the new toushin taishi?"

Sanzo shrugged. "He is usually referred to as Seiten Taisei."

"Yes. But that is the name of his alter ego. What is the name of his real self?"

Sanzo kept silent. He hadn't really bothered with all the old legends and therefore he didn't learn much about them. What was Hakkai getting at?

"No more riddles, Hakkai. Say it."

Hakkai sighed. "Didn't you realize, Sanzo? The toushin taishi's name is Seiten Taisei Son Goku. Son Goku if he has the power limiter on and his alter ego hasn't taken over. His most renowned feature seems to be his golden eyes, him being a heretic."

Son Goku. Goku. GOKU. GOLDEN EYES.

He had just realized he had sex with the current toushin taishi of heaven.

Sanzo really, really felt like shooting himself.

(1) -Ahem- as much as a bastard as he is, Konzen is not a pedophile. So it kinda explains why Goku still's a virgin.

A/N: That's done. I think I really should stop reading so many of Meg Cabot's teen romances. -slaps self-
Don't expect the next chapter to be out any soon. Lots and lots of love will be in it. XD
