My Unforgettable Vacation
Chapter 12
Yue's POV
There was a knock on the door.
Sanzo immediately got up and walked towards the window.
"Come in…" I told the person.
The door opened, and Hakkai peeped inside.
"Hi, Yue! Anno…Sanzo? I think I'll take over now…" he announced.
"Ch! About time!" Sanzo walked pass him as he entered.
As the door slammed shut, Hakkai looked at me, puzzled. I simply smiled back.
"Um…did I do something wrong?" He returned a smile.
"Iya…Daijobu desu…" I assured him.
Hakkai's POV
As I entered, Sanzo simply went pass me. His face… Was he blushing? It can't be! Was he upset about something? About what?
I looked at Yue, hoping she could answer my questions, but seeing her smile warmly like that, I knew Sanzo wasn't angry at her…at least…
"Have you finished the soup?" I asked.
"I'm half-way through…" She chuckled.
"I see…Yukatta ne…"
I sat beside her and decided to try again.
"Anno…Yue?"
"Em? Nani?"
"Was Sanzo…upset about something?"
There was a slight pause, and, she continued.
"Well…I'm not sure about that, but he was kinda annoyed for being here for some time…" she chuckled.
"Sooka? Ha! Ha! I see…"
Seeing her looking better, made me feel much better as well… but, I know if we don't do something, she might be harmed again…All of us are aware of it…
"I hope you don't mind him. He's always like that…" I told her.
"Iya…I know…and I don't mind…" she smiled again, this time, mostly to herself.
I noticed her holding a pendant…Wait a minute…Where did that come from? I didn't see it before… Oh! Was it…?
I smiled knowingly.
Yare na…He was never like that before…You're the cause of his change…Yue…
Sanzo's POV
Damn, that Hakkai! Luckily he didn't see anything… But at least, I'm out of that room…Yet, why do I feel I should be with her at all times? Why do I feel a heavy feeling as I walked out of the door? WHY, DAMMIT?
I immediately walked towards the coffee machine, getting a cup of coffee. As I pushed the button, I felt someone approaching me.
"Yo, Sanzo! Shift's over, I see…"
"What do you want?" I growled.
"Ch! Why are you so pissed off, anyway? Oh…Don't tell me, you like being with her…" He teased.
"Temme…-!" I began, accidentally getting my hand poured with the hot coffee. "Ch! Damn!" I pulled my hand away, sending the cup crashing to the floor, smearing it with caffeine.
"So, I see…" He grinned.
"Urusei…" I hissed, rubbing my hand.
"Heh…So you DO like her, and you STILL don't want to admit it…"
"Urusei…Do you want to die?" I threatened.
"This has nothing to do with you 'killing' me or what…" He sighed, enjoying himself. "Just make sure you'll take good care of her…"
Of course I will, you kappa!
"Ch! Why should I? She has been annoying since the first day I saw her!"
"Ch! Suit yourself!" His sly grin was still there, as he shrugged and walked off.
Half-way, he met Goku and Rye. Goku was just about to ask questions, but he dragged him along, with Rye trailing along. Their bickering gradually gotten farther, and farther, leaving me with my own thoughts once more.
I picked up the empty cup and inserted it into the bin. Having no mood for coffee any longer, I slumped myself on the chair beside the machine. Heaving a heavy sigh, I let myself drift away once more…
Goku's POV
"Ne, Gojyo! Why won't you tell me what's going on?" I pouted.
"Heh! I'll tell you when you're older!"
Damn! I just don't understand adults! What's with all the secrets? All I know is Yue's in trouble, and I wanna help! She's a nice person…Why would anyone hurt her?
There are lots of questions in my mind, but whenever I ask, the answer I'll get is "It's an adult-talk'" or "I'll tell you when you're older"… When will they stop looking at me like a little kid?
"Doshite…"
"Eh?"
"Why do all of you take me as a kid? I'm 19! I'm not a 6 year old! Why won't you guys give me the chance to understand?" I gripped my fists tighter.
"Goku…" Rye looked at me, surprised. So was Gojyo.
I suddenly felt Rye placed her hands gently on my shoulder. She knelt down and smiled warmly at me.
"We're sorry, Goku…We'll try to explain things to you the best we can, right, Gojyo?"
"Aah, wakatta ne! Yeah, we will!" He agreed, with a bit of annoyance in his voice.
"But first, let's get something to eat, okay?" Rye suggested.
"Eat? Yeah! Let's! I'm starving! We can get some food for the others too, right, Rye?" I feel cheerful again.
"Of course!" Rye stood up.
"YEAH! FOOD!" I ran in front of them, heading towards one of the restaurants. After this, I'm really looking forward on what they are going to tell me…no matter whether it is good, or bad…
Gojyo's POV
The way Goku looked really surprised me. Suddenly, he was acting mature. I still feel uncomfortable about it… To me, he is still a 'saru' who likes to eat the most…
And all of the sudden, he's a 'saru' again…Ch! Temme! I guess… he'll never change…
Speaking of change…Sanzo did change… He's still very hot-tempered, yet…he somehow… looks different… His gaze has softened…Whether he realized it or not…And what's worse, he doesn't even realize that he likes Yue!
I chuckled at that thought.
I guess… it's a good thing she came into our lives… I can feel she is different from other girls… but hey, it's not like I have feelings for her… She's a great friend… That's enough for me… Besides, I can always get myself a girl if want to…
Senko-san: Okay! I know it's short, but that's the only time I have to spare for now! P/S: I wrote down whatever comes to mind (again) so forgive me if it's another blunder! Xo I'll try and update again as soon as I can, okay? Jya!
