Senko-san: Hiya all! For this chapter, I'm gonna start from Yue's POV (Point Of View) okay? I'll switch back to Sanzo's POV later in the chapter. In other words, I'll be switching between characters from now and then... That's it for now! Let's start!!!
My Unforgettable VacationEverything's so dark... Yet, I don't feel the ice – cold rain soaking me. The vicious wind also began the fade away slowly. I couldn't hear anything... Everything felt so... peaceful... I was ready to let go of life...
Soon, I regained my consciousness again. The air...seemed different... I can't smell the damp and muddy earth beneath me, nor can I feel the leaves of the bushes around me... Where am I? What happened?
As I pondered the questions in my head, I heard the sound of the curtains being pulled roughly, and streaks of sunlight hit my face. I stirred and slowly opened my eyes.
To my surprise, I saw Sanzo standing facing the window. Wait a minute...am I...in his chalet??? B-but how did I...? Was he the one whom brought me here??? I snapped back to reality as he turned to face me.
"San...zo...?" I began.
He looked away, but came closer towards me. I stopped myself from saying anything any further. Yesterday's incident returned into my mind. Was he...still mad? I looked down towards the blanket, avoiding his face.
The bed suddenly bounced gently. He was sitting beside me!!! My heart thumped faster. OH GOD!!! WHAT IS HE DOING??? I remained looking down, trying to stay calm.
Suddenly, I felt his fingers under my chin. I felt as if I'm frozen stiff!!! He gently tilted my head up, facing him. He was looking straight at me with those expressionless violet eyes. I gulped slowly.
"...Omae..." his voice was low, almost whispering.
He began to come closer... I felt as if my heart was at my throat now... S-STOP!!! PLEASE STOP!!! I wanted to scream, but his eyes seem to drown me in them... I felt myself shivering... I made another gulp...and...
"OMAE BAKA!!! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??? ARE YOU CRAZY??? DO YOU REALLY WANT TO GET PNEUMONIA??? HUH??? IF YOU WANNA DIE SO BADLY, GO TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN'T SEE YOU!!!"
Senko-san: Ha ha ha! Did you guys think it was a "romantic scene"? Hee... hee... madda madda dane! (Not yet! Not yet!) ;P
(Back to Sanzo's POV)
That baka onna! I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. I looked at her. She was looking back at me, wide eyed. Served her right! I should have whacked her with my harisen!!! But seeing her still pale and weak, I decided not to...
She slowly recovered from shock. Both of us were silent. Suddenly, she began to laugh. What the...-? Did she REALLY loose a screw or something???
"What's so funny?" I demanded.
"Iya... Gome... Ha! Ha! Ha! Okashii ne..."
"That's what I meant!!! WHAT'S SO FUNNY???"
"You just called me 'crazy' didn't you? Then, what does that make you?"
"Nani???"
"If I'm crazy, how about you? You went through the storm to get me, correct? So, who's crazier? Me or you?" She smiled.
D-DAMN THIS WOMAN!!! I hated to admit it, but she has a point! Why did I do that??? Why was I crazy enough to go through a storm like I did???
"Ch! Urusei, baka!" I stood up and turned away.
I began to walk out of the room. I could feel my face turn red of anger and embarrassment. I could still hear her chuckling softly as I approached the door.
"Sanzo?"
I stopped.
"Nanda?"
"Arigato ne... for saving me..."
Silence.
"Aah..." I walked out and shut the door.
(Yue's POV)
It has been about five minutes after he left. I felt like getting off and walk around, but I decided not to. Sanzo might get mad again.
Watching him yelling at me before... he shocked me out of my wits! But I felt relieved as well... I should've known Sanzo wasn't that type of person... I really should... I still find it hard to understand him... but I won't give up trying!!!
Suddenly, the door flung open. It was Sanzo. He had something in his hands. He threw the items on the bed. I picked them up and look at it. It was a shirt and jeans. I looked at him questioningly.
"Change. And don't take your time! I hate wasting time!" he told me, shutting the door before I could ask him anything.
I did what I was told and met him in the living room. I had a bit of trouble with the jeans, though... It's slightly loose for me. He noticed this and handed me a belt. We ate a simple breakfast; pancakes and coffee. He wasn't a bad cook after all! After cleaning up, he stood up and headed towards the main door.
"Ikuzou."
"Um... Where are we going?"
He didn't answer my question until I stepped into his car.
"I'm taking you to the clinic." He slammed the door and started the engine.
"Clinic??? Why? I feel fine!" I told him.
"I don't care! You look as pale as a ghost! I'm NOT taking any chances!"
I didn't say anything anymore. There's no point arguing with him. I didn't like to go to clinics, NOR hospitals...but...
"Besides, you'll be much more annoying if you get sick... and I hate taking care of sick people..." He voiced out again.
Soon, after the doctor was done checking me, he told us that I was only going to catch cold, but nothing serious... he gave me my medicine and both of us headed back.
(Sanzo's POV)
We were quiet all the way back. Halfway towards the chalet, I swerved towards the hotel she said she was staying. She looked at me in fear and shock at the same time.
"W-where are we going?" she asked in a panicky sort of tone.
"The hotel." I simply replied.
"Please turn back..."
"Nani?"
"Turn back!!! Please!!! I-I don't wanna...- Besides, my family's not back yet!!!" she pleaded.
I gave a quick glance at her, and then, back on the road.
"Sanzo...please..."
"You're hiding something, aren't you?" It was too obvious.
She froze, and then looked down.
"You kept avoiding to talk about your family... Why's that? And it seems to me your family's always... "out"..."
She tightened her grip as I went on. Finally, she let out a sigh.
"Gome ne... Sanzo... I'm...not ready to tell you yet... please forgive me..." her voice quivered.
I gave her another glance and exhaled my breath. I turned the car back towards the original route. She looked at me, surprised. I remained silent. I wasn't in the mood of saying anything...
We reached the chalet and got out of the car. I unlocked the door and entered with her following not far behind. Just as I stepped inside and placed my shoes on the shoe rack, I noticed there were more shoes than usual. Huh? Whose...-
"SANZOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Someone pounce on me from behind.
"OI! GET OFF!!! WHO THE HELL-???"
The person got off my shoulders and was now grinning straight at me. I blinked at him.
"YOU BAKASARU!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE???" I asked in disbelief. When did this saru came here???
"SARU TEI YUNNA!!! Besides, aren't you happy to see me???" The youth yelled back.
"Ah! Okairi, Sanzo..." Another voice was heard.
I looked straight at that person.
"Hakkai...?"
"Long time no see, ne, Sanzo?" Hakkai beamed.
"We talked yesterday..." I muttered.
"That was just talking on the phone, droopy-eyes!!!" A redhead appeared.
"Gojyo...? You're...here...too?"
"In a flash!" He winked.
Great! More annoying people...
Suddenly, Goku noticed Yue behind me.
"Ara? Who's that? Sanzo?"
The rest of them turned to face her.
"Oi, oi... Sanzo... Good catch!" Gojyo nudged me, hard.
"If you do that again, I won't hesitate to send you to the graves..." I threatened.
"Okay, okay...soorry!!!" He held up his hands away from me.
"Ah, are you a friend of Sanzo's?" Hakkai smiled at her.
"We just met." I answered.
"I see... I'm Hakkai by the way." He held out his hand to shake hers.
"I'm Goku!" Goku shook her hand energetically.
"I'm Gojyo, the handsome one..." Gojyo winked.
Before he realized it, I sent my harisen crashing on his head. Baka ero kappa!!! We started to argue, making her chuckle.
"Maa, maa... Stop it, you two..." Hakkai tried to break us apart.
"All of you are so interesting!" She tried to stop chuckling.
All of us turned to face her. Her smiled has returned. She didn't smile to whole way back before... I suppose our stupid gestures managed to cheer her up.
"I'm Yue. Pleased to meet all of you!" she bowed.
"That's a pretty name for a pretty lady... we should go out some time..." Gojyo gave a charming smile.
WHACK!!!
"Behave, you BAKA KAPPA!!!"
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Gojyo got whacked!!!" Goku laughed.
"Urusei, bakasaru!" Gojyo knocked Goku on the head.
"Ittei, na!!! Omae baka ero kappa!!!"
"NANI???"
Okay... this is getting out of control!!!
"URUSEI NA!!! OMAE WO KOROSUZOU!!!" Finally, my old shoreiju made an appearance once more, threatening them.
"Maa, maa, minna san! Yamette kudasai..." Hakkai pulled me back.
"What are you guys doing here anyway???" I repeated my question.
"Well, simply put, we're all on vacation as well!" Gojyo replied.
"Nani???" I looked at him.
"Like I said, we're all on vacation!" he repeated.
"But why would all of you come here?" I asked, getting more irritated.
"You told us we can use this place whenever we want to, didn't you?" Hakkai smiled.
"Besides, didn't you mentioned to Hakkai how bored you were? So we decided to come and annoy you..." Gojyo smirked.
Yeah...they've succeeded on that alright...
"How did you enter?" I asked again.
"By using this, of course!" Hakkai showed a key for the chalet.
Dumb question! I've forgotten all about that spare key I gave them... I REALLY thought I'd never use this chalet, but now...
"It's almost lunchtime, I think I'll prepare something now..." Hakkai said, heading towards the kitchen.
"Ne, ne, Hakkai!!! Make it Chinese okay??? It's been a long time since I've tasted Chinese cuisine!!!" Goku ran towards him.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Alright, Goku!" both of them stepped into the kitchen.
"While waiting for lunch, let's get to know each other, okay?" Gojyo tried to flirt again.
WHACK!!!
Senko-san: Whew! That's long... (Two days work! ;P) but I guess I've got to stop for now, okay! Jya ne!!!
