Warnings: Implied 858. Dammit, Mary-Sue escaped again! Quick! Somebody disinfect this fic! Please???
Disclaimers: Saiyuki and all characters from within the series belong to Kazuya Minekura (lucky woman, I'm jealous as all hell…) and the various companies that publish and release the anime and manga. Sue belongs to… belongs to… (sigh...) me, though Gojyo did offer to claim her… I let him have his way and Hakkai scolded me for it… There is just no winning, is there?
Goku: Yes there is!
Zell: Huh? There is? How?
Goku: If I tell you that, it might give things away.
Zell: (smirks) You don't know, do you?
Goku: …Uhh… No, I don't…
Zell: Never mind, I'm sure you'll think of something. (I hope!)

Gojyo and Mary-Sue
Pt 3
Goku's eyes widened at the implied threat within Sue's own. He then grabbed Gojyo's arm frantically and pulled him roughly to his feet
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Gojyo struggled.
"I want to talk to you, ero-kappa." Goku glanced at the annoyed looking Sue. "Alone!" he added firmly.
"There's nothing that you can't say to me in front of Sue." Gojyo protested as he tried to sit back down. Goku tried all the harder to pull Gojyo across the room but Gojyo's strength suddenly seemed almost maniacal with his desire to stay by the side of the one he loved. He managed to pull his arm out of Goku's grasp and he then deliberately set the boy flying.
Goku landed on his left arm painfully while wondering what the hell had just happened. "Itai!" he muttered as he reopened his gold eyes. He found that he was staring into Sue's emerald eyes and they held malevolence like that which he had never seen before. She leaned in close and her scent filled Goku's nostrils. His head began to swim and he gagged while pulling away from her.
Sue smiled and softly, so that only Goku could hear said, "Tell your friend, Hakkai, was it? That he has lost his chance. Gojyo belongs to me now and no one is going to be able to take him away from me."
"Did you know Gojyo is a hanyou?" Goku asked Sue, hoping that she would be disgusted and leave the kappa alone. After all, most people, for some reason, found that fact repulsive. Goku really didn't understand why that was the case, after all, it never bothered himself, Hakkai or Sanzo.
Sue laughed, amused. Her laugh was like the tinkling of breaking glass. "Why else do you think I chose him, little saru? It certainly wasn't for his personality. His strength will be enough to sustain my own for quite some time." The woman straightened and walked over to the vaguely confused Gojyo. He stood there, staring at the hand that he had used to send Goku flying as if it was some kind of surreal object. "Come on Gojyo," she said gently, "lets go back to my room."
He looked up into her face, seemingly dazed, "Hmmm?"
When Sue wrapped her arm through his, he relaxed. "I'll prepare us both drinks once we get back there." She said suggestively.
"That sounds perfect." Gojyo replied, smiling at her adoringly.
As they headed back up the stairs, Sue tossed Goku a triumphant look. Goku glared at her retreating form, swearing to do whatever he could to stop Sue and save the stupid cockroach.

"But Sanzouuu, when have I ever made things up?"
Sanzo sighed, he knew Goku didn't make up stories but he did know that the boy's imagination sometimes ran away with him. "Then you are simply imagining things." He said shortly. "Now leave me alone. I don't get enough time away from you idiots as it is. Don't spoil these couple of days."
"But, she wants to do something to Gojyo."
"And when the time comes, that pervert will enjoy it! Now get out!"
"But…"
"OUT!" Sanzo yelled, picking up his empty coffee cup and throwing in Goku's general direction.
Goku ran, upset that Sanzo was refusing to listen to him. These weren't just any old suspicions, that… that Sue had come out in the open with her threat and he was the only one who knew. 'Dammit!' Goku thought, 'I'll just have to find Hakkai. I know he'll help since the perverted cockroach's his best friend.' The matter now, was simply to find him.

A few hours later, Goku finally found Hakkai and was relieved to notice that the youkai's mood had improved, if only a little. Goku filled Hakkai in on what had happened after the healer had left. As Goku told Hakkai about Gojyo and Sue, Hakkai's mouth pursed up in disapproval.
"Now Goku, it's not very nice to say such things about people you don't even know. Anyway, if that was the case, don't you think Gojyo would do something about her for himself? He isn't that easy."
Goku felt disbelief course through him. 'Hakkai doesn't believe me either?'
"Also if you punched Gojyo, of course he would retaliate against you. You know that!"
"But Hakkai…"
"Please forget about it and stop being silly." Hakkai said shortly. He really didn't want to hear about Gojyo and his latest lover. He just… couldn't.
Goku turned to walk off in disappointment, 'I'm on my own.' He thought miserably. 'Its up to me to knock some sense into him! How could he treat us, treat Hakkai, like that?' Suddenly he remembered and turned back to Hakkai, "Oh yeah! Hakkai?"
Hakkai sighed, really not wanting to hear it. "Yes Goku?"
"Sue told me to tell you something."
Hakkai smiled thinly. "Did she now."
"Yeah! She said for me to tell you that you had lost your chance because Gojyo belongs to her now." The naïve teen turned puzzled golden eyes onto the healer. "Do you know what she meant by that?"
Hakkai felt a small shiver of fear run up his spine. "No, should I?"
Goku shrugged, "Well, you would probably have a better idea than me."
Hakkai frowned, watching Goku as he headed back towards the inn. 'What could she possibly have meant by that?' he thought bemused. 'Why would she… Oh, don't be silly, Goku probably has just remembered what happened in an exaggerated manner because he was worried about me earlier.'
Hakkai sighed to himself. He didn't understand what had been wrong with him that morning. He didn't know exactly what he had been feeling… or why. For some reason, he didn't particularly want to know either and so, he pushed all conscious thought of that morning's events and his feelings aside. Feelings that he couldn't admit, even to himself, that were the jealousy that deep down, he already knew they were.
- - -
Goku made his way back to the inn. Once he was within sight of the front doors, he stopped dead. Sue was exiting the building, Gojyo holding the door open as if he were a gentleman rather than the ero-kappa that he truly was. Gojyo still had that happy, dazed smile on his face but to Goku's eyes, he looked diminished somehow… Goku blinked and rubbed his eyes before slowly walking forward and looking at Gojyo once more. 'He looks tired and drawn, like the life is going out of him.'
Goku frowned, Gojyo still hadn't noticed him but Sue sure had. That smile she sent his way was nasty and like ice. "Oi! Ero-kappa!" he called, hoping to get Gojyo away from her, even if only for a minute. Gojyo didn't even seem to hear him, almost like his world was the immediate vicinity around him and nothing more. Sue immediately and deliberately steered him away, not even bothering to veil the threat within her eyes.
Goku glared after her. "Nobody messes with that ero-kappa but us! If it's a fight you want, I'll give you one!"

Thank you for your reviews
Wasabii: Yeah… I feel bad for poor confused Hakkai too. Don't worry, Mary-Sue will end up suffering, it was just a little too early for any of that to happen before this. The story would be completely rushed if she suffered too soon. I normally write longer chapters than this so that is probably why it seems as if it's taking a while :-)
Koryu-Sanzo: NOOOOO! You can't kill Sue, well you can as long as it's your Sue :-) but if you kill mine off, then I won't have a Sue to make suffer for myself. I've never really written yaoi before (except for 'The Day That Sanzo Lost His Twitch' and that was only minor yaoi). I'm not entirely comfortable with writing any details but I have decided how much is going to be in here, because if I do it the way I have thought of doing it, this story will fit in rather nicely with my other fics (including the two others that I have not had a chance to write yet.) Even if it's only a minor little thing, I prefer making my stories fit within the same universe so to speak. Not so much that you have to read all my fics (though that would be nice) to be able to follow the story but to the point where anyone following them all will notice the little things, like building relationships :-)
