Lost…?

Chapter 6: In the holding cells

By: Alasse Fefalas

Commander Talia Gladys ordered the unconscious Sanzo and the bouncing Goku to be locked up in separate cells so that if they did belong tho the EAF, they won't be able so scheme for a way out. Goku was locked up in the second cell, whereas Sanzo was locked up in the very last cell, thirteen cells away from Goku's. The mechanics had reinforced the bars for the second cell so that it would not be like the door that Goku had kicked down.
"I'm hungry" Goku cried, his voice trtavelling down to Sanzo's cell.
"SHUT UP, BAKAZARU(stupid monkey)!" Sanzo screamed.
That night, Rey brought food for their noisy prisoners. Goku said his thanks and gobbled down his food. Rey carried Sanzo's food on a tray and walked down quietly.
"Hey. Here's your food... Sanzo" Rey announced as he opened the cell door to leave the food inside.
"Just what are you people? Where am I? Why am I even here?" Sanzo interrogated Rey.
"If you really want to know, we're Coordinators. You're in the battleship Minerva, built by ZAFT... as to why you're here... I don't know. I just follow orders." Rey put down Sanzo's food tray.
"CH'! Hahaha... that's so stupid! You have a brain don't you? Why not use it? Why follow this... Commander of yours? Why don't you just try to decide for yourself once in a while?" Sanzo mocked Rey.
Rey couldn't stand the stupid smart-mouthed Sanzo anymore. He reached for Sanzo's shirt and pushed him up the wall.
"I warn you... patience has its limits. You say anymore and I'll kill you myself!" Rey growled.
"Next time, you should pay more attention on the person's move, not his words," Sanzo advised. He had his gun pointed at Rey's chest. "I could've easily killed you."
Rey looked at the gun pointing at his chest, then to the smirk on Sanzo's face. Rey looked away and let go of Sanzo's shirt.
"Hmp! You win this time! But next time, you'll get it from me!" Rey warned Sanzo.
"Oh, I'll look forward to that day, REY," Sanzo added as Rey stiffened. Sanzo smirked at Rey's expression and leaned forward... to kiss Rey.

In another cell…

"Hmph, you win this time..." Goku heard Rey mutter. Then the more silent mutter of Sanzo. And then, there was silence. Not that Goku minded, but between two people where rivalry sparked everywhere they went, even he would think something was wrong. His imagination ran wild. 'What can a man in a cell do to the man on the other side of the bars?' Images of the fan hitting through the cell bars, Sanzo being silenced by something that Rey said, Rey silenced by Sanzo's caustic words, or maybe one of them were to suddenly fall asleep. Or maybe, Sanzo was just eating.

'Not that I care. He may be my keeper but I'm not his...I think...' he thought as he chewed on his bread thoughtfully. The silence continued. "Argh! I can't stand it anymore!" he said out loud.

"Cannot stand what?" A voice came over from a few meters away. Asuran had finished his rounds on the Minerva and was coming to visit the boy that he'd found.

"What? Nothing really." Goku smiled uneasily, scratching his bandage.

"Is the bandage holding?" Asuran asked as he came closer.

"Un! Yeah, it's very well bandaged." Goku said. "Ah.. can you tell me, why am I here? I mean, we've not done anything wrong..."

"What's your name?"

"Goku."

"I'm Asuran." He smiled in greeting. "Just to give a gist on the situation, you were trespassing on this ship. It is protocol that we hold you until it becomes apparent that you are clean."

"Trespassing? Ship? You mean like those cool sailing ships that crosses the ocean?"

"Er... no. This ship is space travel capable." Asuran said, unsure what the other was saying.

"Space travel! Cool..." Goku cooed. There was a sudden silence as the saru gave his braincells a workout. "B-But that's Impossible! We were in the desert when I..." He began to say. 'Shit...' "Where are we?"

"Just above the Atlantic Ocean?"

"No I mean...Oh no... SANZO!" The saru gave a shout and immediately tried to break down the door. "Argh! Nyoimbo!" His staff appeard and immediately, he chopped down the metal door and started to run towards his blond keeper. Asuran was so surprised at the immense show of power that he wasn't able to do anything, then.

"Oi!" He ran after the frantic brunette. Goku was about 6 cells to Sanzo's when he suddenly braked. Asuran, also slowed down, wondering why the sudden stop. The expressions on their faces were almost identical.

"What the hell?" the both of them said.

To be continued… :D
