Title: Gojyo and Mary-Sue
Rating: PG13
Disclaimer: Nobody from Saiyuki belongs to me, not Kougaiji or Goku or Hakkai or Gojyo nor even Sanzo. DAMMIT why do I get stuck with Mary-Sue?
Sanzo: What exactly do you mean by 'or even Sanzo?' (eyebrow twitches)
Zell: (grins nervously) Um... well... its not like anyone really owns you… except your creator and then... oops, you probably don't even like admitting to being owned at all...
Sanzo: Urusai. (aims gun at Zell)
Zell: (ducks) KOUGAIJI! Help me!
Sanzo: (puts gun away and lights up a cigarette)
Zell: (breaths in relief) Um, no hard feelings? Right?
Sanzo: You're still here? Go back to work and make sure Gojyo gets rid of that woman! (whips harisen out and hits Zell over the head)
Sanzo: I don't give a damn about him, but I have had enough of this distraction.
Zell: (pouts) Ok, ok... I'm going! Satisfied?
Sanzo: (hand wanders to retrieve the gun)
Zell: (glares and runs off to type up next chapter)
Gojyo and Mary-Sue
Pt 9
Goku was chatting away animatedly much to the blonde's annoyance, all of it about nothing important. Every third sentence out of the saru's mouth was him moaning about being hungry while everything else was about things he had seen that day. Sanzo noticed however that Goku seemed to be avoiding saying anything about the kappa and his latest conquest. He was glad about that for several reasons. One, he was not interested, two, after the way Goku had gone on about Sue that morning, he was extremely pleased to not have to hear anymore, three, he really wasn't interested, four, he hated hearing about that kappa's lust life and five, he couldn't have been less interested if he tried. To tell the truth, Sanzo wasn't even interested in anything his young charge had to say at the moment. All Sanzo wanted was silence, blessed silence like he had enjoyed in his room that afternoon, alone.
Goku fell silent so suddenly that Sanzo started and had to look to make sure that the saru was still there and that nothing had happened. Goku seemed to be watching something and his eyes were filled with something that the monk was unaccustomed to seeing in his charge's golden gaze. There was strong dislike and… something that Sanzo didn't quite recognize, not in Goku anyway.
The teen swallowed and closed his eyes for a moment in order to collect himself before standing and calling out, "Sue! We're over here!"
Sanzo noticed the effort that Goku put into trying to hide his obvious distaste, something that would have been quite hard for someone as innocent and honest as his charge.
Sue arrived at the table but was hesitant to sit. Goku grinned at her sheepishly. "Its okay to sit down." Then he lowered his eyes, looking down at the table, "Hey, um… I'm sorry about knocking you in the water today."
Sue faked a friendly smile but her eyes remained wary with the slightest hint of hatred within. "That's okay and thank you for saving me. Though next time, be more careful."
Goku nodded vigorously, "There won't be a next time." 'Because Hakkai and I are going to make sure you leave the ero-kappa alone once we leave town, if not before.' He thought
Then he spoke up again, beaming in Sanzo's direction. "Sue, this is Sanzo and Hakuryu."
Sue smiled pleasantly. "Nice to meet you, though I did see the little dragon at breakfast this morning." She said in a sweet, friendly tone.
Sanzo's only reply was, "Tch!"
"Oh yeah," Goku laughed, "I forgot you already saw Hakuryu."
For a few minutes there was an uncomfortable silence, though it was a silence that Sanzo was still grateful for. It was broken by Goku's stomach growling loudly again, like it had been doing on and off since Sanzo had come down to join the boy.
Goku sank down into his seat with the obnoxious grumbling. He groaned, loudly! "I'm sooo hungry. I wish our food would hurry."
Sanzo rolled his eyes in exasperation and hissed, "Will you sit up and stop whining! You're embarrassing me!" he then added, "You should have eaten earlier."
"I couldn't!" Goku sat up in a hurry, momentarily forgetting that Sue was sitting with them.
"I did offer to buy you lunch Goku." Sue reminded him, trying not to let the irritation seep into her voice. Goku didn't notice it but Sanzo sure did.
'Only to try to leave me behind so you could have your way with the cockroach!' Goku thought but he replied with, "Well, for some reason I wasn't very hungry then."
"That would be a first!" The monk snorted in disbelief at Goku's words. He was taken aback when Goku turned imploring eyes on him, as if to say, 'Please Sanzo, just for this once, play along.'
"Tch!" Sanzo replied, as close to agreement as he was likely to get.
Goku rewarded the monk with a bright smile for agreeing to play along. The blonde then averted his gaze from Goku, wishing once more that he were still in his room, away from all the idiots where it was quiet and peaceful.

'Damn Hakkai anyway! Why can't he be supportive about my love for Sue? She's so beautiful that a man would have to be insane not to fall for her. Wait! Maybe that's it! He could be jealous. That must be why he is trying to drive us apart.' Gojyo thought angrily as he headed for the restaurant. "Well my friend, you'll have to find someone else. Sue's my girlfriend!"
"Gojyo!" Sue's cheerful voice called in obvious relief at seeing him.
Gojyo looked over to where her voice came from, seeing her standing, waving to him and hesitated. Hakkai and Goku's earlier words rushed back to tumble through his mind, haunting him with the way they insisted on being heard. Gojyo shook his head trying to clear the confusion he was now feeling and found himself wondering if he should have been listening to his friends after all.
Sue noticed his confusion and hurried over to greet him. 'That bastard Hakkai must have started getting through to him,' she thought, desperately trying to disguise her anger. 'I wont let him go! Tomorrow, when he is mine, body, mind and soul, he will give himself over to me completely and his life energy will sustain me for years. I will not lose this late in the game. I refuse!'
Gojyo looked her in the eyes as she stepped up to him smiling beautifully. She then embraced him in front of the entire restaurant and kissed him passionately. Sue noted with satisfaction how he seemed to melt into her arms, all traces of uncertainty slowly fading away. When they broke away from the kiss in order to breathe, Sue made sure to stay wrapped within Gojyo's arms so he would continue to breathe in her pheromone filled scent and continue to fall deeper within her spell once more.
Sue smiled deeply with satisfaction. Gojyo was strong, she had to give him that and that was what made him so ideal for her needs. The majority of her other prey in the past had a tendency to fall completely under her seductive control almost immediately. They were no challenge and their weaker life force didn't last that long. 'Some part of this hanyou keeps fighting my influence.' She thought, 'That's obvious from the way he keeps beginning to break from my control. The good thing about that though, is that he is more interesting and bearable to be with than the previous insipid fools. I do enjoy a challenge.'
'One more night together and his friends will no longer have any influence.' Sue giggled slightly which made Gojyo look into her face with a smile.
"Share the joke, Sue!" he said curiously, his face filled with adoration for the woman he believed he loved.
"Oh its nothing, my sweet Gojyo. I was just thinking how adorably cute you look, with your eyes closed and that peaceful expression on your face. If you'll let me," she added shyly, "I would like to make sure you have that happiness for the rest of your life." She said covering for her true inner thoughts.
She gave Gojyo a quick peck on the cheek. "Lets go sit down. You must be starved after today. Dinner hasn't arrived yet, though it wont be long."
"Yeah," Gojyo admitted with a soft smile for his beloved, "I am unusually hungry today. I feel quite drained and tired in fact. Hopefully dinner will pick me up for tonight." He added with a laugh that had a slightly lecherous undertone to it.
Arm-in-arm, the hanyou and the succubus walked to the table, moving their seats close together and sitting down. Though Gojyo didn't notice, his attention too firmly focussed on Sue, she certainly did notice the way both their companions had been staring at them. She tried to hide her own smirk as she noticed the dismay filling Goku's face and as for Sanzo, once he had noticed that she had noticed them, he had suddenly tried pretending that he had not, at any stage, been pre-occupied with hers and Gojyo's little performance.
And halfway up the stairs that led to the restaurant, none of the four noticed a certain emerald eyed, brunette youkai watching the entire scene unfold with more than just a little shock filling his face.
To be continued.
A/N: Sorry for the wait for this chapter. I have had a couple of other fics I have been working on as well. My Kougaiji fic 'The Depths of Devotion' is almost done but that wasn't the biggest cause of delay. I got roped into writing for a Halloween challenge for a mailing list I am on, Webfiction mailing list (the address is listed in my profile.) Webfiction is a multi-fandom mailing list and in my opinion, is great. Unfortunately, I ended up writing a fic for the challenge held there (laughs) well, not really unfortunately because it was fun but unfortunately, the result was trying to concentrate on that at almost the last minute left me with no time to update last week… I can't put up the challenge fic anywhere else until November but if you are interested in reading a 'Vampire Game' fic by me (that's right, for once, its not Saiyuki) you can always sign up as a member of the mailing list and check it out that way, or just wait til November.
I was tossing up what to type up tonight, so you can thank Diva Urd for pushing me into choosing this fic for updating.
Thanks to all those who reviewed. :-)
Diva Urd: (smiles) As you can see from this chapter, things are going to get a little worse yet for the kappa. Maybe Sanzo doesn't personally have the Mary-Sue problem this time but he still has one nearby affecting his 'team'.
ZL: Ah, sorry… I stopped there because it felt like a good place to stop. This is the first fic I have actually written designed with chapters in mind. My other fics are broken at convenient places. Haha! I am updating! Honest! Sorry I took a long time though (hangs head in shame.) I'm sure that based on my 'convo' with Sanzo before the chapter started, he will 'whip' me into shape soon enough…
Wasabii: (nods) Australia is pretty good but I would love to get out onto the world. I love wind and rain, not to mention thunder and lightening but… a hurricane… sounds nasty. Hope everything went ok.
Tora Macaw: You've been on the PoT again haven't you? (smirks) Well, your review gave me a laugh, thanks.
