First of all, I would like to say thank you to all those who actually come and READ my fic...haha kidding! This fic is SanzoXHakkai. My favourite pairing in Saiyuki. I don't usually see fics of them so now I've decided to write one...here goes nothing!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Saiyuki characters or anything related to them. I have no money for you to get if you sue me for this. I'm poor.
Nights
Prologue
It was 3am.
Cho Hakkai tried to keep his eyes open as he drove along in the desert plain. "Hold on, Hakuryu...we're going to be there soon..." He coaxed the jeep and checked the map again. Yep, they were on the right way to the nearest village. Perhaps 15 minutes more of driving should do it...
Hakkai glanced to his left, at the monk who had just woken up. He laughed. "I'm sorry, did I wake you up?"
Genjo Sanzo didn't reply for a moment. He took out a cigarette and lighted it. Then he shook his head. "No. I wasn't really asleep in the first place."
"Why? Is there something bothering you?" Hakkai asked, his smile fading as quickly as it came.
Sanzo scoffed. "The two idiots are snoring too loud." He gestured to the young boy and the red-head sleeping in the back. He took a puff of his cigarette.
Hakkai laughed again, hiding his moment of doubt all too well. Like he always did.
"But then...Hakkai, when do you think we will ever reach the end of this journey?"
Hakkai looked at Sanzo. The monk was gazing at the curtain of stars above them. Hakkai sighed. "I really don't know, Sanzo. But I hope it'll be soon."
"No, Hakkai. I hope it would be never."
Hakkai looked at Sanzo, not sure if he had heard it right. But the monk was still gazing far away, lost in his thoughts. He threw his cigarette butt out of the jeep absent-mindedly. Then without looking at Hakkai, Sanzo said, "Oyasumi." He shifted and closed his eyes, falling back asleep.
Hakkai smiled to himself. "I love you, Sanzo."
