A/N: So sorry I haven't updates in what seems like ages- been very very busy, sorry.

…..

Goku, Sanzo and Gojyo are in their hotel room. Goku is currently bouncing off the walls, Gojyo is smoking and Sanzo isn't feeling too good. The excessive alcohol is taking its toll.

"So, where's th' place you dumped Hakkai?" Goku asked, jumping up and down, munching on an apple in between words. They had given him food in the hope of placating him, but to no great effect.

"Erm…" Said Gojyo, pausing to take a long drag on a cigarette, which he could now smoke in public, as they had, by now, given up on the stupid resolutions. "…on the other side of town."

"Well, goodbye then." Sanzo muttered, as he held an ice pack to his head and read the paper

"What!" Gojyo shouted incredulously, standing up, "Why do I have to go! You lazy monk…"

"On second thought…you bought home a shikigami last time." Sanzo paused to turn a page of the paper, "Goku go with him."

"But Saaaaaaanzo-" Goku started, widening his eyes

"No. Get going or Hakkai won't be home in time to cook me dinner." The conversation was then over, and grumbling; Gojyo and Goku left the room.

"Stupid priest…doesn't know what….'Well goodbye then'…I hate him…" Gojyo was muttering a multitude of profanities under his breath, as he walked down the street. Goku, on the other hand was bounding along in a very cheerful mood.

"Stop being so happy, chimpy." Gojyo said, as Goku ran around him in circles laughing loud enough to scare a few nearby pigeons away.

"But I am happy Gojyo." He ran more circles around Gojyo, who was getting very irritated. Gojyo then, in order to distract himself, took out a cigarette. He kept forgetting that he didn't need to smoke them secretly now, as the resolutions were forgotten. Gojyo then remembered something so suddenly that he nearly walked into a lamppost.

This caused great hilarity, and Goku was laughing at him for the rest of the time that they walked to the day care centre. However, what Gojyo had remembered made him very happy.

He had just remembered that the only person he had told that he wasn't keeping up his resolution was the tile that was currently in his pocket.

He was going to milk it for all it was worth.

When they eventually reached the day care centre, a garish blue building with horrific paintings in the windows, Goku was spinning around in circles on the spot and Gojyo had smoked nearly a whole packet of cigarettes, to make up for lost time. He had to put the cigarette out before they walked in though, otherwise that bossy woman'd shout him at again.

"What'cha thinkin' about?" Goku asked, after he got rid of the dizziness he had been suffering

"None of your business." Gojyo said and walked purposefully up to the door.

They entered the reception, a grey haired woman sat at a desk, and Gojyo shuddered as he remembered their conversation before, when he had gone to pick Hakkai up:

"What is this?" she had shrieked shrilly "Cigarettes near young children? You sir, are very irresponsible."

"Hey! I didn't do anything wrong. I don't even have a cigarette." Gojyo had said, looking around with shifty eyes, checking that Hakkai wasn't near and listening to their conversation, before hurriedly putting out the cigarette.

"Your attire isn't entirely appropriate either." She had commented, looking him up and down. Gojyo hadn't thought that it was too bad, yes his trousers were rather tight fitting and his T-shirt would offend those with innocent eyes and minds, but he really needed to get out of those other clothes.

"Don't see what you mean." He had said, crossing his arms defensively. When he had been there to drop Hakkai off, the woman had been much nicer, and much more attractive.

"Humph," the old woman had grunted and eyed him disapprovingly as he had crossed the foyer to find Hakkai. And as Gojyo walked past, he could have sworn that she muttered something that definitely would not have been appropriate to say in front of young children.

'However,' thought Gojyo as he forced his mind back into the present, 'she might not remember me, or it might be her twin, who is hopefully much nicer.'

"Hello." He said, as he walked up to the desk, "I've come here to pi-"

He was cut off by the old woman

"Oh." She said in a disgusted tone, "It's you." Evidently she did remember him.

"Anyway…I've come here to pi-" but yet again he was interrupted

"Where's Hakkai?" Goku asked loudly, bounding up to the desk, "I miss him and the other two are mean to me."

"You mean there's another one like him?" asked the woman, pointing her thumb at Gojyo, who opened his mouth in indignation

"Naw, not really." Goku said, thinking about it, "But they're both mean."

"You poor boy…" said the woman, shaking her head sadly, "I know, maybe a cookie will make you feel better." Goku's face brightened and Gojyo sighed. These people didn't know what they were in for.

The woman then gave Goku directions to the kitchen and glared at Gojyo as he walked past.

"What's that old bat's problem?" Gojyo asked Goku, who wasn't really listening, so basically he was talking to himself. He pondered for a minute. "I reckon it's cos she fancies me. My obvious charm cannot be denied." He decided and followed Goku, who was very happy.

"Goku!" a familiar voice called just as Goku entered the kitchen. Gojyo smiled, as he knew that they had found Hakkai. He walked through the door and saw Goku happily tucking into a huge pile of treats and Hakkai surveying Goku like a proud mother.

"Hello Gojyo." Hakkai smiled, as Gojyo walked into the room, "What took you so long?"

"Long story…" Gojyo said, and then knelt down next to Goku

"Hey monkey," he said, prodding Goku to get his attention, "seeing as how you're the big expert on these matters. Is that really Hakkai?"

"Uh-huh." Said Goku through a mouthful of crumbs; "No-one else makes such great cookies."

"Great…" Said Gojyo, standing up and facing Hakkai. "I'll tell you the story on the way back to the hotel."

"All right: I've just got to clear everything up here, then we can leave."

"Clear everything up…" Gojyo muttered as Hakkai walked out of the room, "I don't like that phrase. What d'you think monkey?"

Goku shrugged, "I dunno."

When Hakkai returned to the room with buckets and mops in hand, Gojyo then knew why he was suspicious of the phrasing and imagined how mad Sanzo would be when they weren't back in time for dinner.
