February 5, 2005, 7:00 PM - How To See You Again Author's Note Leap

One day (actually, today) I was looking TxT fandom at midnight. I got really hyper, and being as hyper as I was, I wanted to write something. I wrote this Saiyuki Reload fic. Now, I love the Saiyuki franchise. Saiyuki looks a little serious to me (only seen the first episode), but Reload is cool. Four hot guys randomly traveling throughout the land in their jeep/dragon thing, with no specific plot other than to keep having adventures every week. It is THE epitome of coolness. Hee hee, I have the whole gang watching over as I sleep, because I have a Saiyuki poster right above my bed. Well, not right over my bed but to the left of my bed. Right beside me - There's actually three Saiyuki posters in my room, and two more that'll be coming in. I love Sanzo. This fic focuses mainly on him, but they're all there. Um...w00t. RR onegaishimasu, and yaay. I'm trying to get this fic out in public A.S.A.P., because I want to know if I'm wasting my time on this or not. I think I am...no wait, I don't. It amuses me greatly. I love it. Just...I'm going to force myself to stop typing now. Bye. no one's going to e-mail me, why do I bother...)

How To See You Again Leap One

As usual, the four men, Goku, Sanzo, Gojyo and Hakkai, were traveling through the desert in their jeep to yet another anonymous village. As usual, Hakkai was driving, Sanzo was by his side and the other two were in the back. However, while those two were fast asleep, Sanzo was wide-awake. He was sitting up straight in the seat, and kept glancing in the side mirror. As soon as he finished a cigarette, he would instantly light up another one. After his tenth cigarette, Hakkai, who had been blissfully observing the situation hoping it would pass, finally said something.

"Sanzo, what's wrong?" he asked, sounding deeply concerned.

"Don't address me so casually!" Sanzo barked, causing his cigarette to fall out of his mouth and on to his crotch. "Oh shit!" Sanzo yelled, promptly standing up, causing the cigarette to fall to the bottom of the jeep. A bit of a wailing noise was made, and the jeep swerved to the right, then the left, before it ultimately went off the road and turned into the dragon again. The four men were left sitting on the side of the desert road in a daze.

"Kyuu" the dragon squealed, weakly landing in Hakkai's arms.

"He's just sleeping." Hakkai informed the group after checking the dragon for signs of life. "He'll probably need three days for recuperation" Hakkai looked to the group, and he noticed Goku and Gojyo were still sleeping.

"Make that bloody pest heal faster." Sanzo instructed, getting up and dusting the sand off his ass "I have places to be, I can't be pissing around the middle of nowhere."

A sour look formed on Hakkai's face, but it quickly passed "I'll see what I can do."

Sanzo grunted. He knew just as well as Hakkai that meant nothing would be done to speed up the dragon's recovery process. Frustrated, Sanzo walked to the edge of the road. He paused for a minute, looking down the seemingly endless dirt road. Angrily, he shook his head in defeat, and walked back to the group. He towed over the still sitting Hakkai, and spoke.

"If I start walking, do you think I can get to the town in an hour?" Sanzo asked, with a rare hint of desperation in his voice.

"A-ra, you sound as if you are dire to get to town Sanzo-sama."

"Cut the '-sama' shit." Sanzo snapped. Hakkai sighed, and sunk his head. Sanzo continued speaking "Do you think an hour is a good estimate?"

"Maybe 10 hours." Hakkai smiled

Sanzo grunted in anger, and sat down beside Hakkai. He started drawing circles in the sand with his finger, making frustrated noises all the while. Hakkai turned his head towards Sanzo with a concerned look in his eyes.

"If I may ask, why are you so concerned to get to the next town. Usually, you don't care whe-" Sanzo's sharp purple eyes interrupted Hakkai's sentence, causing Hakkai to blush a little bit.

"Sorry..." Hakkai turned his head forward, drew his knees to his chest and blushed harder.

"I'll tell you." Sanzo said straightforwardly. Hakkai was surprised, so he turned his head in Sanzo's direction. "It's been a year."

"No it hasn't. It's been about a year and four months as of today." Hakkai corrected, thinking Sanzo was talking about the time that had passed since they had started the journey.

"Not since we started the journey, dumbass. Since I've had sex."

Hakkai looked stunned "S-sex?" he asked, his jaw dropping.

Sanzo glared at him "Don't tell me you've never had sex."

"I-I have, but I've gone for the whole journey without any..."

"That's you. I left my boyfriend behind in that town we visited a year ago."

"B-Boyfriend...?" Hakkai asked.

"Believe me, I don't know how I have one either." Sanzo laughed, and lit up a cigarette.

"A man?"

"Well, more of a boy. Same thing though."

Hakkai could not believe what he was hearing. Here we have a Buddhist Priest. Sure, he smokes, gambles, and swears like a sailor, but now the fucks like one too! Hakkai had to do everything in his power to keep from getting up and slapping the 'holy' man.

"A boy?"

Sanzo thoughtfully took a puff on his cigarette "Well, more of a demon boy really..."

Hakkai stood up. Sanzo looked up at him. "What?" Sanzo asked, tipping the ash off his cigarette.

"What? You're gay!" Hakkai accused, pointing his finger accusingly at Sanzo.

"And it's taken you over a year to realize this?" Sanzo asked.

"Y-yes! You're a priest! It's called 'a life of chastity' for a reason you know!" Hakkai reasoned.

Sanzo threw away the half-burned cigarette and stood up "You know, you're looking pretty cute right now." He said seductively to Hakkai. He drew closer to him, until he was merely a centimeter away from his lips.

"I-I'm not like that...my ex-girlfriend..." Hakkai weakly protested.

"You're body seems to be saying otherwise" Sanzo smirked, and wrapped his arm around Hakkai's waist. Hakkai was in too much shock to move, so using the chance, Sanzo moved in for a proper kiss. Their lips were about to touch, when something clonked Sanzo in the back of the head, sending his head down.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!" Sanzo asked, turning around to yell at whomever happened to be there, if anyone was.

"Yo!" Goku greeted. Both Goku and Gojyo were awake, and both had a devious grin on their face.

"Gojyo! Goku! Help me! He's trying to rape me" Hakkai cried, running between the two men, and hiding behind them as to protect himself.

"Sanzo! Is this true? That sounds bad!" Goku asked, his face in a scowl.

"Obviously he is." Gojyo answered for Sanzo "Look at him - he's obviously desperate enough to jump anything."

"Am not." Sanzo defended.

"It's Hakkai!" Gojyo laughed overly loud to express his point. "Look at him!"

"I'm sure you look at him every night, as to increase your chances of having erotic dreams about him." Sanzo muttered, pulling out a cigarette.

"WHAT was that!" Gojyo demanded, pulling up his right sleeve, ready to strike at any moment.

"Stop it!" Goku cried, and clung on Gojyo in a vain attempt to stop him.

"Let go of me! I have to kill him for what he said!" Gojyo tried his best to throw the monkey-boy off, but he just wasn't letting go.

"I'd only be desperate enough to jump Hakkai if it was today - and well what do you know, it's today."

The other two stopped fighting for a minute to gather around Sanzo. Sanzo sat down, and the other two followed. Goku sat cross-legged on Sanzo's left, and Gojyo sat across from Sanzo.

"You can come too Hakkai." Sanzo called

"...I can?" Hakkai shyly called

"Not like that though." Sanzo tipped the ash off his cigarette.

Hakkai blushed and stomped towards the group "I'm com-I mean, I'm going to sit down with you." he sat down at Sanzo's right.

"Not like that though." Sanzo took another puff from his cigarette.

"What?" Hakkai asked.

"Never mind." Sanzo said. Silence filled the air, followed by the rumbling of a stomach.

"Aa! Hara Hetta na" Goku groaned.

"So, I'll make this quick then." Sanzo said. "Today marks one year."

"Of what?" Gojyo asked.

"Of me not having sex, is what dumbass."

"Oh yeah, I have it written down on my calendar, how could I forget-yeah right dipshit. How the hell was I supposed to know?" Gojyo asked.

"Hey, what's sex? Is it food! How could you go a year without food? Saaaanzo Are you dying? Are you okay?" Goku asked, hopping on Sanzo's lap, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him back and forth.

"No-it-is-not-food-" Sanzo managed to push Goku off of his lap, and back in to the circle they kind of had. Sanzo cleared his throat, and took a puff of his cigarette.

"Well Goku, sex is when a man and a woman-" Hakkai started to explain

"OR a man and a man." Sanzo interrupted.

"..r-right, or-"

"Or a woman and a woman. I like it when that happens. Two's better than one, as I always say." Gojyo smiled pervertedly

"And three's better than two." Sanzo replied, and exchanged high-fives with Gojyo.

Not to be left out, Goku yelled "And four's always better than three" and extended his hand for high-fives. He looked around the circle waiting for a high-five, but everyone avoided eye contact. Reluctantly, he withdrew his hand.

"Well, Goku," Sanzo put his cigarette butt out and continued "Sex is when you are deeply in love with someone, and you do what naturally feel best for the both of you."

"Oh...Waooo! It sounds like fun!"

"Oh, it is." Sanzo replied enigmatically.

"S-so you've gone for a year without fun?" Goku asked.

"Yes, I have."

"His sex suuucks though. It doesn't matter." Gojyo interrupted with a sneer.

Sanzo pulled out his gun and aimed it across the circle at Gojyo "What was that?"

"Th-That was...just...nothing!" Gojyo replied, raising his hands in defeat. Sanzo gave him one last glare, and lowered his gun. "Seriously, you have sex like THAT though?"

"Yes, I do." Sanzo replied as if he had nothing to be ashamed of.

"We're..." Gojyo motioned for Sanzo to come closer. Both men crawled to the middle of the circle, and Gojyo whispered in Sanzo's ear "We're talking with men, right?"

"Yes, we are. That was obvious, dipshit." Sanzo frowned, and sat back in his position.

"So MEN huh..." Gojyo muttered as he sat back down. "You mean, on accident right?"

"No. I have a boyfriend." Sanzo replied, and lit another cigarette.

"Wow! I heard of people having those! That's so great Sanzo!" Goku cheered.

"No it's not really that great Goku. Most couples are a man and a woman, not two of the same gender." Hakkai informed.

"Men? Women?" Goku asked cluelessly.

"You seriously got him out of the earth huh?" Hakkai asked Sanzo, a sweatdrop forming on his brow.

"Can't get 'em that clueless anywhere else." Sanzo huffed, the cigarette lifelessly hanging from his mouth.

"Oh! Are women those people with lumps on their chest?" Goku asked

"That's right." Sanzo gave a thumbs up, and took the cigarette out of his moth to tip some ash off.

"And, and you don't like to have fun with women?" Goku asked hyperly.

"That's right." Sanzo said.

"Me though" Gojyo pointed at himself. "I like to have lots of fun with women. Can't go a day without one, y'know."

"We've been driving for three days without break." Sanzo corrected.

"Uh..." Gojyo blushed at his error "Well, more than a week is what I mean."

"We've also driven for a week without break before." Sanzo informed, taking his cigarette out of his mouth and exhaling smoke.

Gojyo looked speechless "W-well I'm not gay!"

"We know that." Sanzo answered in a monotone.

"Nobody asked you!" Gojyo yelled at Sanzo.

Sanzo huffed, and put his cigarette back in his mouth.

"So Sanzo, you have a boyfriend, and you're supposed to have a girlfriend?" Goku asked. "Were all the girlfriends taken or something?"

A vein popped from Sanzo's head "Of course not! I could get one if I really wanted!"

"He doesn't know anything Sanzo." Hakkai reasoned. "Calm down"

Sanzo grunted and bit down on his cigarette. "In any case, today is my one year anniversary without sex."

"You really should be celebrating a higher year than that." Hakkai smiled.

"This isn't a fucking celebration!" Sanzo bellowed "It's a disaster if we can't get to the next town in an hour!"

"You've gone this long without sex, why do you need to get some now?" Gojyo asked, pulling a cigarette out of his pocket and lighting it up.

"I promised my boyfriend something..." Sanzo scowled.

"That you wouldn't make him go a year without sex?"

"No. It was that... I don't want to talk about it. It's already too late." Sanzo grunted, and threw his cigarette away.

"Sanzo You called us all the way here You may as well tell us!" Goku insisted.

"I didn't call you here." Sanzo replied

"Well, we're all here, so just tell us." Hakkai said.

"Okay, fine. Well...well..." Sanzo rolled his eyes "I promised him if I made him go a year without sex, then I'd settle down with him."

Goku's eyes widened "So...does that mean that you're going to stop journeying?"

"Obviously."

"You can break your promise right?" Gojyo insisted.

"Unlike you, I keep my promises. I made no promises to the Goddess, but I made a promise to him."

"I know you better than that. You'd break a promise in an instant." Gojyo retorted. "What does he have of yours? What curse does he have you under?"
"He has my heart." Sanzo replied unenthusiastically.

Gojyo laughed "Really?"

Sanzo rolled his eyes "Oh yes."

"I-If you don't love him..." Hakkai shyly interrupted

"Just because you want me, doesn't mean you should break up me and my lover, okay?" Sanzo snubbed.

Hakkai was taken aback "I don't want you!"

Sanzo made a noise that sounded as if he did not believe Hakkai at all. Hakkai frowned.

"Why in the world would you make such a promise man! Are you insane?" Gojyo asked.

"I'm not."

"You knew we were going to be journeying damn it!" Gojyo frustratedly grabbed the cigarette out of his mouth and shook the ashes in Sanzo's direction.

"I figured it would take less than a year." Sanzo replied.

"Sanzo, what are we going to do abut Gyumao now? We can't do anything unless you lead us!" Goku asked, nearly in tears.

"You'll be fine." Sanzo coldly responded.

"No we won't! We need you Sanzo!" Goku started crying "Gyumao's going to destroy the world, and you're going to be baking cookies with your boyfriend! That's not fair!"

"No one ever said anything about 'fair', now did they?" Sanzo retorted.

"But...but..." Goku wiped his tears and stood up. "You...You're a meanie!" he cried, running away from the group.

"A-ra...I guess I should go after him." Hakkai got up and ran after Goku, leaving Sanzo and Gojyo sitting across from each other.

"So..." Gojyo put his cigarette butt in the sand "Men, huh?"

"I won't jump you." Sanzo replied flatly.

"I would hope not..." Gojyo sighed aloud and looked Sanzo in the eyes "Seriously?"

"Seriously."

"Men?"

"Yes."

"...Why?"

Sanzo grunted "I really don't think that's any of you're business."

"Sorry." Gojyo apologized. "Men?"

Sanzo slapped his forehead
