Notes: Because I love tormenting Kougaiji and Sanzo... Post-series, set at Houtou
---
Kougaiji stopped talking mid-sentence, looking questioningly over his shoulder at the wall to his back. Sanzo, who was in the middle of a conversation with the demon prince fell silent as well, letting the heightened demon hearing go to work. The pause lengthened, pissing Sanzo off.

"I hear a headboard," Kou said cautiously, and Sanzo was immediately next to him, both with their ears pressed against the cold, clammy stone wall.

And there was indeed the steady 'bang bang bang' of a headboard, and the squeak of bedsprings expanding and contracting; but there was also Lirin saying, "Wow, Goku, you're really good at this!"

The breathless, "So are you!" made Sanzo's blood turn to ice and Kougaiji's turn to fire.

The two adults stormed next door, Kou kicking in the thick wood slab and Sanzo with his gun at the ready to find...

Goku and Lirin jumping on the bed, practicing flips. The orange-haired girl looked up at her brother and waved. "Hi-hi Kougaiji!"

Goku turned and gave Sanzo a puzzled look. "Sanzo, what are you doing?"

The gun was tucked into Sanzo's waistband as the paper fan came out. Kougaiji picked up a thick leather-bound book.

Goku and Lirin simultaneously gulped.
