Back again.

And thanks Koryu-Sanzo. oO; I'm… a bitch…? Oo;;;; Wow, I've never been called that before to be honest. XD at least not to my face!

Unless you were talking about Rhia, the one who was hitting on Hakkai.

Anywho…

Jealousy

"So… your names are Rhia and Ari?" Hakkai asked, sweat dropping at the orange-banged girl.

"Mmhmm." The red-clad girl nodded, scooting away from the same girl. "I'm Rhia."

"I'm Ari!" The orange-banged girl waved, going back to stuffing her face.

They were at a restaurant at the town a few miles away from the deserted town. The Sanzo Party had realized that with Ari… it was like another Goku. Ari could rival Goku in appetite, arguing with Gojyo when she tried to steal his dessert, Goku sneaking it away when Gojyo wasn't looking.

"Where do you live? Or was that town your home?" Hakkai asked.

"Oh, we're prin—" Ari began, Rhia clamping a hand down on Ari's mouth.

"…………… That was our home." Rhia said quickly, Ari blinking.

"Rhia, we—"

Another hand clamping down on Ari's mouth. "She must not be feeling well."

"I feel fine!"

"Sure you do." Rhia said, going back to her lunch.

"… Well, now we're at a town, so have fun here." Sanzo said, standing up. "Let's go."

"But Sanzo, I'm not done!" Goku said around a piece of bread he had stuck in his mouth.

"Too bad." Sanzo said, raising an eyebrow. "You've had enough. Let's go."

"Sanzo, we can't simply leave two helpless girls here." Hakkai sighed, sipping some sake.

"I agree with Sanzo." Gojyo said, standing up.

"Gojyo…" Hakkai blinked, looking up at Gojyo. Gojyo was never one to actually want to leave quickly.

"Let's get a room at an inn."

"… Of course." Hakkai smiled slightly. Gojyo probably wanted to 'cruise for chicks' as he put it. Hakkai suddenly felt like a small needle stabbed his heart. "… Of course." He repeated.

"Aw, man!" Goku said, taking all that he could carry.

"You can't just leave us!" Ari cried, standing up. "We don't know anybody here!"

"She's right, Sanzo." Hakkai said, looking at the leader of their group.

"Start mingling." Sanzo said. "HAKKAI!" A vein popped up in his temple as Hakkai led the girls towards the jeep, his hands on their shoulders.

"We should hurry, Sanzo, if we're getting our own rooms." Hakkai said, smiling that warm smile.

Sanzo's eye twitched. He didn't want those little… brats tagging along. He looked down, feeling a tug on his sleeve.

"Sanzo, you're not really gonna leave 'em here are you?" Goku asked, blinking.

Sanzo pulled his arm away, sighing. "It's not like I have a choice." He said, walking towards the jeep. The truth was… he couldn't resist those big gold eyes. They were… adorable. It was really disturbing for Sanzo to think of someone as adorable or anything that was kind.

Rhia and Ari both shouted "SHOT GUN!" simultaneously, both glaring at each other.

"I called it first!" Ari spat.

"I want to sit next to the sexy green man!" Rhia snapped back.

"I want to sit up front!"

"Too bad! I called it first!"

"You did not you liar!"

"Who's the liar!"

The girls stopped as a shadow loomed over them. They looked up, seeing a very irritated Sanzo. "Shot gun this." he snapped, smacking them both with the fan. "Get in the back!"

"T.T Owie!" Ari rubbed her head, climbing in the back (with the help of Gojyo and Goku, for she was too short to actually get in by herself). Rhia groaned, getting in with Ari.

"I wanted to sit with Hakkai." Rhia mumbled.

"Oh, put a sock in it." Ari said, frowning.

"How about I put my fist in your face!"

"THAT'S IT! PULL OVER! I'M TAKING HER OUT!"

"SHUT UP!" Sanzo snapped, spinning around and smacking them upside the head.

"OW!" Rhia gasped.

"Ow, you big meanie!" Ari said, sniffling.

… Déjà vu anyone?

/-/-/-/-/

"What do you mean we all have to share a room!" Rhia snapped at the inn keeper.

"I-I'm sorry but… we only have one room left!"

"You can't have two young girls sleeping in the same room with… them!" Rhia looked at the Sanzo party. "What if their pedophiles!"

"ARE YOU STUPID!" Gojyo snapped, kicking her in the head. "NOT EVEN WHEN I'M DESPERATE!"

"You are so pathetic." Sanzo snorted.

"Hakkai, what a pedophile? Can you eat it?" Goku asked, blinking.

"Oh my…" Hakkai sweat dropped. "No, Goku you can't eat them. I'll explain later. Much later."

"H-Here's your key…" The inn keeper blinked, holding it out. Hakkai smiled, taking it.

"Thank you." He said, Sanzo leading the others to the room.

Goku awoke in the middle of the night, rubbing his eyes. Strange… he never woke up in the middle of the night before. At least not recently.

He yawned, looking around at the others. He felt it might be fun to see how everyone slept. He looked over at Gojyo, who was sleeping on his side, facing Hakkai. Hakkai slept on his back, Rhia resting her arm around his waist possessively. He turned his head, looking over to Sanzo, who also slept on his side, facing Goku.

Goku felt his cheeks get hot. Did he have a fever? It started pretty quick for a fever. He looked over at Hakkai's monocle, which said on a pile of their clothes. His cheeks where pink, but the pink was quickly fading.

He was blushing. He blinked, turning to face Sanzo again, blushing yet again. Sanzo looked more peaceful than he did when he was awake. His eyelids twitched at every noise, threatening to open but they never did.

A thought dawned on Goku. Where was the other girl, Ari? He straightened his back and craned his neck to see over Sanzo. He gasped slightly, seeing Ari curled up against Sanzo's back.

He felt… like he wanted to shove Ari awake and kick her ass. He didn't remember feeling this way before. He frowned, crawling over and reaching over Sanzo to push Ari over.

Ari groaned, snuggling closer to Sanzo. This made Goku's new emotion strengthen. Goku pushed harder, Ari finally rolling over the other way. Goku stepped gently over Sanzo, picking her up and setting her on the bed, just to ensure she stayed away from Sanzo's back.

Ari mumbled something, hugging Hakuryu, who squeaked and glared at Goku. Goku smiled triumphantly and laid back down, closer to Sanzo now.

This new feeling wasn't particularly nice, but the one he felt when he laid next to Sanzo was. He smiled. He vaguely remembered feeling this way before, but towards whom?

/-/-/-/-/

"It's time to get up!" Hakkai said, slightly loudly for everyone to hear. Ari sat up, her hair messed up, Hakuryu wiggling from her grasp to land on Hakkai's shoulder.

Rhia was up, fixing her bun. Gojyo was up, too, already smoking. Hakkai put his hand over his mouth to surpress a laugh at Goku and Sanzo.

Goku's hand was laying on Sanzo's cheek, Sanzo – though asleep – obviously annoyed. Goku was sprawled out across the spot he'd been in before, though he was definitely closer to Sanzo.

Sanzo opened his eyes, blinking. "Idiot monkey…" He growled, shoving Goku's hand off his cheek and he sat up. "Where's my cigarettes?"

"On the table, by Gojyo's." Hakkai said simply, gently shaking Goku.

"Mmmm… breakfast yet?" Goku mumbled.

"Yes, it is."

"YAY!" Goku sat up suddenly, nearly hitting Hakkai. He froze for a moment, then yawned loudly, little tears coming out of his eyes.

Sanzo tried not to stare as he put the cigarette in his mouth, but he couldn't help it. Goku was adorable when he yawned. Sanzo raised his eyebrows, shaking his head, trying to get his lighter to work.

"Something the matter, shit monk?" Gojyo asked, tossing his lighter.

"Thanks. No, nothing's wrong, you idiot. Keep your nose to yourself." Sanzo said irritably.

"Fine, fine." Gojyo said, raising an eyebrow.

"… Hakkai, go get Goku breakfast before he yanks my arm off." Sanzo said, after Goku tugged his arm enough times.

"All right." Hakkai said. He didn't argue. He was already dressed anyway. Rhia wasn't too far behind, pausing to help put Ari's hair in pigtails. Gojyo just needed his shoes and he would be ready.

"… Sanzo?" Goku asked, looking up at the priest.

"What, Goku?" Sanzo sighed, wishing Goku would just go away. To the other side of the room, not forever. Never forever.

"What's it called when you feel like hurting someone who's getting to close to someone you're real close to?"

"… What?' Sanzo blinked, looking at Goku.

"… Like, you want to hurt them or get them away from the person they're getting close to."

Sanzo figured out what Goku had meant. Was Goku feeling jealous towards someone? "… Jealousy."

Yes. I end it here. Stupid ending I know.

n.n Well, yes. This is the second chapter and it went on for longer than I thought it would. Oo; I thought this would be short but… I guess not.
