"There's a void where there should be ecstasy." That's the first line in the song the title's based after (the song being the second opening for Initial D Fourth Stage, 'How To See You Again' by move). Doesn't that line just sum everything up between Sanzo and his boyfriend? Oh, and I should probably warn that this chapter is (more than) a little bit ridiculous in terms of settings.

How To See You Again Leap Two

"Sanzo's a meeeanie!" Goku cried, his face smothered in Hakkai's shirt.

"Now, now..." Hakkai patted Goku on the back instinctively.

Goku looked up at him, and wiped the tears from his eyes. "It's true! He's a meanie! He's gonna let Gyumao destroy the world! How could he! He was so nice because he rescued me back then, but now he's a horrible poopie!"

"Sanzo will see the errors of his way soon." Hakkai comforted, but it only caused Goku to cry harder into Hakkai's shirt. Hakkai sighed, and patted Goku on the back again.

The area that Goku had found astounded Hakkai. In the middle of the desert, Goku had found a rain forest. Although it was very small, it was incredibly useful. There were many palm trees surrounding them, each bearing identical amount of coconuts. The trees alone would be an excellent place for the party to survive for three days, but there was one feature that's set it apart from being just a useful location. Dead center of the forest was a Hot Spring, perfect for recuperation that both the dragon and troop would need. Perhaps by instinct, perhaps by accident, Goku had run all the way to the said Hot Spring, and had collapsed there. The natural instinct or sheer luck of the boy amazed Hakkai. Right now, Goku was sitting in Hakkai's lap, while Hakkai was sitting on a fallen palm tree facing the Hot Spring.

"Sanzo's a meanie! He won't change his mind!" Goku cried, burying himself deeper in Hakkai's shirt.

"He won't huh..." Hakkai muttered, his mind going back to an hour ago, when Sanzo was tried to kiss him. Sanzo wasn't REALLY going to do that, right? After all, he did have a boyfriend, and if he was going to kiss Hakkai, that would be cheating. To Hakkai, cheating was quite an immoral thing to do, even for Sanzo. Why did Sanzo even try to kiss Hakkai? Just because it was the day he was going to be forced to settle down? Sanzo said that he would only sleep with Hakkai if it were today...? Hakkai was extremely puzzled as to what all that meant.

"He won't!" Goku looked up at Hakkai, and nodded fiercely. "So we have to force him to change his mind! We have to have fun with him!"

"Fun? How can we, Goku? We're in the middle of nowhere." Hakkai stated, causing Goku to look around at his surroundings.

"Well, you know what Sanzo and Gojyo were talking about before right? How two people have fun together and they call it...um...sex! Yeah, that's it! We have to have sex with Sanzo! Gojyo even said two's better than one!" Goku bounced up and down in Hakkai's lap, while Hakkai turned beet red. "What's wrong? He said he's gone a year without it?"

"Y-you only do that with your boyfriend Goku!" Hakkai replied, extremely embarrassed.

"Oh? Well then, let's be his boyfriend!" Goku cheered, getting extremely excited about his idea.

"We can't! People can only have one boyfriend!"

"Then why did he say three's better than two? I'm soooo confused!" Goku yelled, grabbing his head.

Hakkai sighed "Never mind what that was about. The bottom line is that we can't have sex with him, and we can't be his boyfriends."

"Awww" Goku pouted "But if we don't, he'll leave us, and the world will be destroyed!"

Hakkai thought, "Well, I guess we'll just have to manage without him. Don't worry, we'll be fine!"

"No we won't! He's our leader! We have to keep him around!" Goku stomped his foot. "I will become his boyfriend, that way he will stay with us!" he stood up, and clomped to the edge of the Hot Spring

Hakkai frowned "It's not that easy Goku...he has to fall in love with you, and he already has somebody he loves."

It was Goku's turned around "Well..." Goku sat down beside Hakkai on the palm tree "I'll make him fall in love with me! Then we can do what naturally feels best for both of us, just like Sanzo said!"

Hakkai sighed. He felt it was going to be a long day.

For the whole day, Gojyo and Sanzo had been lying by the side of the road in the desert sand. Not a car had passed by, or any other signs of life for that matter.

"Where the fuck are those two bastards? It's getting dark." Sanzo grunted lighting up what must have been his fiftieth cigarette of the day.

"Oh? Mighty Genjo Sanzo, afraid of the dark?" Gojyo asked, sitting up.

"No, more like afraid of being stuck here forever with you." Sanzo jeered.

"Not like I want to be here either." Gojyo grumbled, running his hand through his hair, which was completely encrusted with sand. "Shit, it's going to take forever to get this sand out! Damn, why the hell did you have to burn that stupid animal?" Sanzo had explained what happened earlier in the day as to why they were where they were. Gojyo found the whole idea ridiculous, and had been making fun of Sanzo for it the whole time they'd been lying there.

"I highly doubt the sand in your hair is the highest priority." Sanzo grunted, taking out his gun and readjusting it.

"Stop fucking playing with your gun!" Gojyo yelled, seeing how it was also about the fiftieth time Sanzo had readjusted his weapon.

Sanzo smirked "Why? Is it turning you on?"

Gojyo scowled "Hardly! It's just that that's got to be the hundredth time today that you've done that!"

Sanzo glared "What else is there to do? Play with your gun?"

"I don't HAVE a--" Gojyo slightly blushed, realizing the obvious double entendre "You pervert! I know you want my gun!" he looked around "I don't feel safe here anymore."

"Then leave. Hakkai said the nearest town--" Sanzo realized what was about to come out of his mouth. Hakkai said the nearest town was ten hours away. They broke down around five AM, and now it's probably about four...

"Up. Let's go." Sanzo commanded, standing up "We have ten hours to cover in eight, so let's hustle asshole."

"Huh? Where are we going?" Gojyo asked, lying back down.

Sanzo walked to the top of Gojyo's head, and crouched down. "We are going to a wondrous town, with brothels upon brothels of cheap, easy whores. However, we have to get there in eight hours, otherwise they go back to being expensive, stiff whores."

"Oh? Well, why didn't we start heading there earlier?" Gojyo laughed, and hopped up quickly.

"Good." Sanzo smiled, happy Gojyo was obeying his orders for once.

"Saaaaanzo!" A childish voice called out.

"Shit." Sanzo muttered, not stopping his trek down the road.

"SANZOOOO! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, STOP WALKING!" The voice was getting closer, so Sanzo sped up.

"Hey, shouldn't we stop?" Gojyo called, as he was far behind.

"What the fuck do you think?" Sanzo hissed without looking behind him to make eye contact.

"Ah ha, more whores for me." Gojyo clapped, and attempted to catch up to Sanzo.

"SA-N-ZO!" Sanzo looked to the ground and walked as fast as he could without breaking into a jog.

"What are you doing?" a different voice called "I know you can hear us, so just stop! Goku found a good shelter where we can stay!"

"Ah, Sanzo, I think Hakkai is trying to tell us something. Maybe we should stop." Gojyo suggested, mainly because he was starting to doubt such a town existed.

"Hell no. Now hurry up!" Sanzo turned around to hiss at Gojyo, only to get his foot caught in a crack on the road and fall flat on his face.

"SAAAAAAAAANZOOOOOOOOOO!" Sanzo could hear the cry from Goku approaching, although only faintly over Gojyo's incessant laughter.

"M-man, you're a fucking idiot!" Gojyo laughed, falling over with laughter.

Sanzo quickly sat up "I don't see what's so funny." He stated, noticing Hakkai and Goku were standing over them.

"Well, for starters, you tripped on your own damn skirt, jackass." Gojyo chortled.

"Hilarious."

"And we saw your bum!" Goku yelled cheerfully.

Sanzo paused for a moment, then covered his mouth with his hand. "You didn't..."

"...We did." Hakkai replied.

"Fuck..." Sanzo pulled out a cigarette. "Seriously?" he asked thoughtfully after taking a long drag off his cigarette.

"Yep. Tattoo and all." Goku said, causing Gojyo to giggle.

"Shut up." Sanzo forcefully ordered Gojyo, and Gojyo obeyed. Everyone was deadly silent until Sanzo finished his cigarette. Finally he spoke:

"I suppose it can't be helped. You guys really saw my ass--"

"No shit we did, dumbass. Your skirt flew up above your waist when you tripped. Stop acting so shocked about it!" Gojyo huffed "Man, it's like we saw you fucking some fat chi--no, dud--" Sanzo aimed his gun at Gojyo's forehead.

"Don't make me use this. I will." Sanzo growled.

"Shit man, okay, okay!" Gojyo put his hands up in defeat. With one last thrust forward, Sanzo reluctantly withdrew his gun, which initiated a sigh from Gojyo.

"Pretend you didn't see nothing." Sanzo grunted.

"But Sanzo-sama! That's a double negative, and that means a positive, so that means we saw it!" Goku reasoned "I wanna know why you have that on your bum!"

Sanzo huffed "I'll tell you later."

"REALLY!" Goku's eyes lit up. It was the first time his master had ever shown such kindness.

"Really. It's...an important matter so I should." Sanzo painfully said. For the first time, he was actually relying in his pitiful party for something other than comic relief.

"Yaaaay! He loves us Hakkai! Let's have sex!" Goku yelled, glomping Sanzo to the ground. This caused Sanzo to whip out his gun faster than he ever had before.

"Get the fuck off of me, or else we'll be eating monkey for dinner." Sanzo threatened, the barrel of the gun pressed against Goku's temple.

"Wai! That way I'll be a part of you forever!" Goku squealed, hugging Sanzo.

"Ah! Stop it! Don't make me use this!" Sanzo yelled.

"So Hakkai, where is this place Goku found?" Gojyo asked.

"It's a rain forest with a Hot Springs located in the center." Hakkai replied matter-of-factly. "It's about 20 minutes from here if we walk."

"A rainforest...in the middle of the desert...with a Hot Spring?" Gojyo verified.

"Correct."

"...Are you sure you didn't find a 'magic mushroom' patch instead?" Gojyo asked.

"I'm sure."

Still suspicious, Gojyo said "Well, sounds more realistic than Sanzo's whore city. Let's go." Gojyo started walking in the direction Hakkai came from.

Hakkai smiled "We're going to be going now." He called to Goku and Sanzo who were still wrestling on the ground.

"GET OFF OF ME!" Sanzo yelled

"SAAANZO" Goku cooed.

Sanzo had enough. He fired two shots into the air. Perhaps a waste of his bullets, but he wasn't getting rid of Goku any other way. Goku immediately hopped off of Sanzo.

"I told you I'd fire." Sanzo muttered, getting up and dusting off his clothes.

"Saaanzoooooo" Goku cried "I thought you loved me! I want to be your boyfriend!"

"No you don't. You REALLY don't."

"Why?" Goku asked, hoping he'd be lucky enough to get an 'I'll tell you later'.

"None of your business." Sanzo replied the standard answer.

"Awww." Goku pouted. He stomped his foot "Sanzo! I will make you fall in love with me! Hakkai told me to do that!"

"NO I DIDN'T!" Hakkai yelled from his position far ahead. He raced back to where Sanzo and Goku were, which took him two minutes. During this time, Goku latched on to Sanzo's back and started nuzzling into Sanzo's ear. Sanzo actually didn't mind, since it was something his boyfriend did to him all the time. In fact, if one was to objectionably stand back and view the situation, one might say that Sanzo ENJOYED ear nuzzling.

"I DID NOT TELL GOKU TO MAKE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM!" Hakkai yelled when he got closer to Sanzo and Goku.

"Ah? I can't hear you." Sanzo replied. He was enjoying the ear nuzzling too much.

"You told me to Hakkai! You said if I want Sanzo to be my boyfriend, he has to love me. So, I'll make him love me!" Goku reasoned.

"And why do you want him to be your boyfriend Goku? We went through this already! Several times actually!"

"And I told you that if I become Sanzo's boyfriend, he'll stay because he can have fun with me!" Goku said as if it made the most sense in the world.

"Hmm, so that's your reasons Goku?" Sanzo said, still enjoying the ear nuzzling.

"Yep! We'll have lots of fun together, you'll neeeeever think of anyone else!" Goku raised his arms above his head so high that he lost balance and fell off Sanzo's back.

Snapping back to his usual mood, Sanzo replied "I would never go out with you Goku. Hakkai, how long would it take to get to the village?"

"10 hours walking...but the sun is going down now..."

Sanzo cursed under his breath. He was extremely angry now. "Fuck, let's go to your other location you were talking about." Sanzo started stomping off in the direction Hakkai and Goku came from. "Well fuck, let's GO!" Sanzo commanded when he noticed no one was following.

"He seems angry." Goku whispered. Suddenly, a shot whizzed past Goku and another shot whizzed past Hakkai.

"LET'S FUCKING MOVE!" Sanzo yelled furiously.

"Let's go..." Hakkai suggested, and the two ran to catch up to their leader

Meanwhile, in the middle of the desert...

"Eh, Hakkai, am I going the right way? You've been pretty quiet this whole time...hey, Cho? You there?" Gojyo turned around. There was nobody following him. He was alone.

"Oh...shit" was all he could manage.
