Series: Saiyuki
Author: Zelgadis55
Rating: PG13
Warnings: She is still around… I wasn't quick enough to stomp on her, plus, if I had, the bottom of my shoe would have gotten icky… 858 hints.
Disclaimers: Well, last time I checked Saiyuki STILL didn't belong to me and I guess… it never will… Gojyo has made a bit of a mess of taking Sue off my hands… Damn it, I never should have let him take her
Hakkai: (unusually cold voice) No, you shouldn't have.
Zell: I'm sorry. He just sounded so pathetic when he offered that I… couldn't help but let him have his way…
Hakkai: I am actually rather offended, Why does Sue have a vague resemblance to me?
Zell: …
Hakkai: (looks at me expectantly as he waits for an answer)
Zell: Well, would you rather he have gone for someone bearing a resemblance to Sanzo???
Hakkai: That… doesn't even bear contemplating about, Zell.
Zell: … You should feel flattered that he has gone for someone with a resemblance to you…
Hakkai: Flattered? Over a Mary-Sue?
Zell: Well, you will just have to save him yourself. I never wanted her in the first place.

Gojyo and Mary-Sue
Pt 2
The next morning, Hakkai and Goku were downstairs eating breakfast. Sanzo, being a fairly early riser had already been down, eaten and was back up in his room, wanting nothing more than some peace and quiet, some time to relax on this rare couple of days off without being annoyed by loud, annoying sarus, obnoxious, flirtatious kappas or mother hens. Hakkai had decided to wait for Goku to wake up before heading down to breakfast himself.
"Hakkai, what's wrong?" the teenager asked warily.
"What makes you think there is anything wrong, Goku?" Hakkai answered with an overly false smile. The healer didn't realize just how fake it truly appeared, even to someone like Goku who could be quite oblivious to things, especially if there was food around and he was hungry and since Goku was nearly always hungry....
Goku cringed slightly. "Well you, you don't look very happy. You look kind of… angry. Hakkai, you get scary when you're angry." He admitted before hastily adding, "Also, you haven't eaten anything yet."
"I see." Hakkai said quietly as he looked into the distance. 'Gojyo never came back last night, he must be still with that woman.' He thought.
"Hakkai?" Goku asked hesitantly.
Hakkai shook his head to bring himself back into the focus with his surroundings and looked into the boy's eyes. "Just leave it Goku, please!"
Goku did, for several minutes. Then he asked, "Gojyo never came back last night huh? It's nice not having to fight for breakfast for a change." He beamed before going cold as Hakkai's expression suddenly hardened. Goku decided that it was time that he really did be quiet after all. He really didn't know what it was that he'd said to make the other youkai react the way he did but it was safer not to take any further chances when Hakkai was in this kind of mood. These moods didn't happen very often with him but when they did... it was by far better to play things safe.
A few more minutes passed quietly by, punctuated only by the noisy sounds of Goku eating. Unexpectedly, Hakkai froze. 'Huh?' Goku thought. He turned around to look at whatever it was that Hakkai was watching. There was Gojyo, coming down the stairs arm-in-arm with some woman. 'So?' Goku shrugged to himself, 'the ero-kappa is just doing his usual perverted thing, why should that upset Hakkai?' He turned his gaze back to Hakkai in confusion and saw Hakkai actually twitch a little.
Gojyo glanced around the room and spotted Goku, Hakkai and his pet dragon eating so the couple headed over to their table, Gojyo, for the most part unable to keep his eyes off his comely companion. "Morning Hakkai, Goku. I'd like you to meet Sue. Sue, these are two of the people I've been travelling with."
Hakkai's expression went even colder with the kappa's introduction.
Sue smiled politely to Hakkai and Goku. Goku grinned back and without realizing what he was doing, Hakkai glared.
"Sue makes me feel so… complete." Gojyo said in a dreamy voice. "I've never met anyone like her before and we had the greatest time last night."
This time Goku's expression turned to disgust. "We don't want to hear about your conquests, ero-kappa!"
Gojyo tore his eyes away from Sue just long enough to glance at Goku, his own almost dazed smile still in place. "I wouldn't share Goku, Sue is too special to betray her trust like that."
And with that comment, Hakkai abruptly stood and in an icy tone, he said, "Excuse me please, I have things to do." Hakkai turned and stalked out the inn, Goku staring after him, concerned and very confused over whatever it was that just happened.
Gojyo hesitated a moment, torn between staying with his new love and chasing after his best friend to find out what it was bothering him. He began to stand when Sue moved her head closer to his. Her scent filled his nostrils and all concern fled his very being. He sat down again, smiling sappily at the emerald-eyed beauty beside him.
"Gojyo?" Goku asked carefully.
"Mmm?"
"What's wrong with Hakkai?"
"I don't know." Gojyo answered. His tone however said 'I don't really care either.'
Goku frowned, this wasn't like Gojyo, "What if… do you think Hakkai's sick?"
"Could be." Gojyo answered dreamily as he nuzzled into Sue.
Goku glared. "Hakkai's your best friend. Don't you care if he's sick?"
"Not really."
"What if he collapses somewhere?"
"He's not the type."
Goku stood in disgust. "So you aren't going to go after him?"
"Why should I?" came the absent minded reply.
"Because it's Hakkai, you jerk!" Goku yelled, punching the inconsiderate hanyou in exasperation over the way he was acting.
Gojyo vaguely touched his chin where Goku's fist connected. Fight lit his crimson eyes for all of a second before it fled once more as Sue hastily kissed his cheek.
Goku glared at Sue, wishing she would go away so that Gojyo would fix whatever was wrong with his best friend and Sue returned his look with a calm, infuriating smile. Her smile no longer seemed to be as beautiful or friendly as it had appeared previously, now it seemed to be filled with a hint of menace. 'Forget it brat,' her eyes seemed to say, 'Gojyo belongs to me now!'

Thank you to everyone who reviewed.
Wasabii: Thanks! Yeah, I was sucked in by Gojyo being concerned that he couldn't find anyone worthy of his attention of recent times…
Koryu-Sanzo: Yup! You sure did! Thanks for the pocky.
ChibiHarisen: Thanks for the compliment. The more people who join the fight, the more easily we can get rid of the Mary-Sues.
