Disclaimer: I do not, nor ever will I, own Saiyuki or any of the characters. The only part of this fanfic that I own is the plot, but I got the idea from someone else so if you're that person, don't kill me, just send a review if you think that I stole your idea, but I don't think I did…
Now enjoy and be gentle with those reviews!
"Hakkai! Wake up!"
"Eh…huh? Gojyo? What time is it?"
The kappa laughed softly as the groggy youkai sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes with difficulty, seeing as his right arm was strapped to his side by his blanket. Hakkai's hair was standing straight up and he was wrapped in his covers like a straitjacket. As the brown haired man tried to untangle himself Gojyo chuckled softly.
"Well at least you got some sleep," he pointed out as Hakkai finally got free. His roommate smiled.
"I guess that's true," he said as he pushed the covers back and stood to make his bed. Gojyo looked half-heartedly at the mess he'd left of his bed. Feeling slightly guilty he slumped back to his own bed and started to smooth out the blankets and sheets. As Hakkai turned he saw the kappa tidying his bed and smiled.
"Good job Gojyo, I'm proud of you!" he beamed. Gojyo thought he looked odd without his monocle but didn't say anything about it.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," he said instead. "But the monkey and droopy-eyed priest want you in the kitchen. Apparently one's starving and the others going to explode if someone doesn't shut the brat up." Hakkai smiled and headed for the door.
"Well I suppose we better go save them eh?" he shot over his shoulder at Gojyo. The kappa blinked and followed.
When the two entered the kitchen they found Sanzo hitting Goku repeatedly with his paper fan.
"Quit hittin' me!"
"Then you shut up!"
"Hakkai! Save me!" Goku screeched as he ran to hide behind the brunette. Hakkai just looked down at Goku and smiled before starting to fry up eggs.
"I'm sorry Goku but I'm afraid that you'll have to figure your problems out on your own," he said. The monkey looked up at Hakkai, flabbergasted. He hadn't yet ever declined to help him when Sanzo was threatening to kill him or hitting him with his fan.
"Serves ya right you midget monkey," Gojyo laughed. Sanzo even chuckled at the young man's look. Goku just stood there for a moment before his stomach gave a rather loud grumble.
"Hey Hakkai, you're cookin' right?" he questioned hopefully. Hakkai turned, smiled and nodded.
"Yes Goku, I'm cooking your breakfast. Well actually I'm finished. Gojyo, could you get some plates out of the cupboard please?" he asked. The kappa nodded and opened the cabinet, reaching inside and getting four plates while Sanzo got utensils, on Hakkai's orders.
Soon they had all seated themselves and Goku was happily gobbling down food. Sanzo ate in silence and Hakkai squinted down at his food. No one had mentioned his monocle, or lack there of. Gojyo just played with his eggs.
Finally Sanzo couldn't take it anymore. He dropped his fork with a clatter and gazed at Hakkai.
"Where's your monocle?" he asked him suddenly. Hakkai blinked several times before smiling softly.
"My headband slipped and knocked it off my face, sending it to the floor and shattering it into dozens of pieces. In other words, I broke it," he said. Sanzo stared at him.
"Really? Don't you need a new one?"
"Well obviously. But I was actually thinking of getting glasses instead," Hakkai said as he set aside his fork. Gojyo coughed quietly but everyone ignored it. Goku just kept on eating.
"Oh," Sanzo muttered as he continued with his breakfast. "Whatever you think is best."
"I liked his monocle best…" Gojyo muttered. Hakkai looked at him.
"Really?" he said.
"Hn…"
Can you say, cut-off chapter? I'm sorry if it was kind of a sudden stop but I thought it was a good place to stop. In the next chapter the Sanzo-ikkou will travel into town to try and find Hakkai a pair of glasses. But if Gojyo liked the monocle better will he stick with what he's used to? I don't know but I'll try and update soon! Please review and be gentle as always!
