Not Another Love Song – Chapter 2
In typical fashion, Sanzo refused to room with Goku even after loosing the coin toss. Since none of them actually wanted to be confined in a room with Goku either, the three dueled for the right not to share their sleeping quarters with the rambunctious monkey demon. They settled on a heated game of rock paper succors, much to Sanzo's disapproval, due to the fact that he really didn't want to give Selene the satisfaction of being right.
And much to Sanzo's dismay, he lost that as well.
Goku's stomach let out a loud gurgling sound, for effect Goku made a distorted pouting-like face.
"I'm hungry!"
"We know." Sanzo twitched. Since this whole mess had started he'd been doing a lot of twitching, even for being, well, Sanzo.
"Come on monkey, lets go get you some chow." Goyjo said, pushing on the back of Goku's head to move him to and down the stairs.
"You really shouldn't worry so much." Hakkai commented once Sanzo had calmed down a bit. "I'm told it gives you wrinkles."
"Like I care." Sanzo scoffed. Hakkai took the hint and didn't press the matter any further, and the two fallowed Goku and Goyjo in their quest to satisfy Goku's large appetite.
"There you are, finally!" They all blinked at the short blond who poked her head in the small hallway as they made their way down the steps. "Goku, ya hungry?" Goku nodded eagerly, food replacing his confusion. "Thought so, Peggi's cooking up some ramen for ya. Don't just stand there come on, we're all in the kitchen!" Annoyed with them and their stares, the blue-eyed-blond turned on her heal and vanished into what they assumed was the kitchen, Goku fallowing, sniffing and drooling.
"Um, not to be rude but…"
"Who the hell are you!" Goyjo finished for Hakkai, who sweat dropped and chuckled nervously. The girls looked up from their tasks to stare at them.
"Didn't we already explain all that?" Selene asked, raising an eyebrow and looking annoyed.
"No, you, who are you." Sanzo corrected, pointing at the short blond who had been looking over Eevee's shoulder at some black machine on the table.
"I'm Naru, you know, just talked to you a few minutes ago…" The blond said, smiling a fake sweet smile, the kind one would use for explaining something to a small child they didn't like.
"But… you… your blonde…" Goyjo blinked, cigarette hanging from his lip. The other girls exchanged another 'look.' Naru just glared.
"So?"
"Your hair was blue before." Sanzo stated, seemingly uninterested. Eevee shifted in her seat, looking at Naru out of the corner of her eye.
"It was a wig, duh." Naru said slowly, which only annoyed Sanzo. A lot.
"Look you-"
"FOOD!" Goku shouted in delight, snatching the bowl of ramen that was offered to him once Peggi had finished with it.
"Finally, someone who appreciates my cooking!" Peggi, crossing her arms over her chest and leaning on the counter, flashed a cheeky grin.
"Hey, that was one time, one time!" Naru protested, and the mood in the room shifted from a tense one to a not so tense one. Selene and Sanzo were the only ones who didn't seem to be amused. At all. Then again the only problem they seemed to have was with each other.
"If looks could kill..." Gojyo said, shaking his head. Hakkai and Eevee nodded in agreement.
Surveying the room, Selene and Sanzo were having their glaring contest, Peggi and Naru were arguing about… something, and Goku happily gulped down his large bowl of ramen. We'll, Naru was arguing. Peggi was just sitting there with a happy look on her face and throwing in just one word every once in a while, which seemed to only infuriate the blond even more.
With nothing else to do and nothing left to say, the three laughed. Just laughed, because that was really the only thing they could do.
And talking at that point would have been over-rated.
KLU-THUMP
And only a loud something falling to the floor upstairs was enough to caught their attention.
"What was that?" Goku asked, only because he had finished his meal (you could have set fireworks off in front of him and he wouldn't have cared, as long as he had food).
"The ghost." Selene rolled her eyes, and Goku widened his own.
"GHOST!" Goku screeched, yes screeched, and jumped into the corner.
Everyone sweat-dropped.
"She was kidding." Eevee said, waving her hand in a reassuring gesture.
"Then what was that?" Sanzo asked, receiving a glare from Selene.
"Uh…" Eevee scratched her head, she was being put on the stop a lot today…
"Dust bunnies." Peggi perked in, making everyone sweat drop again. She had just had so much fun doing it to Naru… It was hard for her to get out of something like that.
"Seriously, ghosts? Dust bunnies?" Sanzo had one of his 'I'm no impressed so start talking' kind of moods.
"We don't know what it was." Selene spat, glaring at the taller monk, who glared right back.
"So we'll go check, won't we Naru." Eevee said, elbowing Naru slightly as she rose from her seat. Naru blinked once, twice… Eevee cleared her throat and Naru seemed to get the point.
"Oh, right!" Naru, understanding things better than the Sanzo party were, fallowed Eevee out of the kitchen out of out sight.
"Your not telling us something…" Sanzo said, getting a headache.
"I don't know what your talking about." Peggi said, feigning innocence.
"So!" Eevee said as they re-entered the kitchen, the 'lets avoid confrontation' front set in place on her face. Then she was stuck, so Naru jumped in.
"How 'bout them dust bunnies?"
End Chapter 2
Eevee-Yeah, how about them dust bunnies?
NaruChan-Hey, don't look at me, you're the one that wrote it.
Eevee-… (shrugs helplessly) Don't know.
HofuruChan-Don't want to know.
Eevee-Exactly!
