Past times

It was another quite Friday night. Hakkai was sitting down on the chair drinking his coffee. Waiting anxiously for the two children to get their dinner so they can then rush off to bed. There was a knock on the door 'Could it be Gojyo or Zonaki?' Hakkai stood up and walked over.
The door creaked as he slowly opened it. The cold wind blew in giving him a slight chill, Hakkai peered over the corner of the door.
"Let me in Hakkai I'm freezing…" Hakkai sighed he opened the door. Letting the frozen kappa walk in.
"It's like a blizzard out there" Gojyo dropped himself on the chair. Hakkai brought him a cup of coffee for him to defrost. Hakkai settled it onto the table and smiled "Just in time dinners ready…" Gojyo smiled "Yeah"
Hakkai walked over to the cooker and poured the cooked stew into the plate. Gojyo could smell it. He was almost hypnotized by its scent as he closed his eyes imagining him self eating it. Hakkai brought the two plates over and settled them nicely on the table.
Hakkai sat down "So how was your night?" Gojyo looked up and smiled "Brilliant, I scored big time" Gojyo scuffled though his jacket and tossed out this big sum of cash on the table. "My that's a lot of money; you won that in another game of poker didn't you?" Gojyo nodded.
Hakkai dipped his spoon into the stew and brought it out. He ate it and scooped his spoon back into it again. But there was something missing. Hakkai wondered what it could be. Then he looked at the other two empty seats. 'Zonaki'
"Where's Zonaki this evening?" Gojyo looked up at him astonished "I thought she was here in her room fast asleep" Hakkai's eyes widened "Well you two left at the same time so I assumed that you went together…" Gojyo left his spoon lying in the plate as he looked at the door.
"You don't think she's lost do you?" Gojyo laughed "You kidding she can find her own way home" as minutes pasted Gojyo started to doubt his words. Hakkai continued to eat his dinner until the plate was empty.
'Where the hell is the little sapphire eyes?' Gojyo slumped down on his chair. This was beginning to annoy him.

Hours past

Zonaki came in and closed the door shut behind her. She was freezing; it was very dark in the room. She placed her hand onto the wall trying to feel the light switch. As soon as she found it she clicked it. Light came into the room. Making it seem a lot brighter.
Zonaki walked over to the table. She noticed a note. Zonaki picked it up and looked at it
'Dear Zonaki
If you're reading this then this must mean that you've come home, there's some stew left in the pot if you're hungry? You've caused Gojyo to worry. So Gojyo kind a write something on the bottom…
'Dear Zonaki
YOU TURD WHERE WERE YOU ALL NIGHT HUH? WAYS TO MAKE US WORRY YOU LITTLE WITCH DON'T THIN KTHAT I'LL LET THIS SLIDE. IN THE MORNING I'D LIKE TO HEAR WHAT EXCUSE YOU HAVE'
'As usual, he over reacts…like a little old man…'
Zonaki walked over to the pot and poured herself out some delicious stew. She was freezing her hands off just pouring it.
As Zonaki walked over and gently sat down on the chair and settled her plate on the table she slapped her hands together and whispered a couple of words. Zonaki dug her spoon in and took the first sip. "Aaaaaagh I'm in heaven" Zonaki took her scarf off and slammed it onto the table.
Zonaki then scrounged round in her coat and brought out a letter. She observed it then smiled. As she hide it away in her coat again. Zonaki continued to eat her dinner it was almost midnight. Now half way though her meal. "I wonder how long I've been out for." She left her spoon in the plate then wondered, "Let's see I left at seven Pm. And I came back at twelve Am now let's see…one…two…three…four…five hours" she calculated as she counted with her fingers.
"At least it was worth it…" Zonaki glimpsed at the ceiling, the light shinning down. Zonaki smiled warmly. Closing her eyes and sighed "With that guy around" Now finished she took the plate and washed it in the sink feeling the warm water coming down onto her hands. She continued to scrub the plate down; after that was done she dried it with the towel and settled it into the cupboard.
And poured water into the messy pot where the stew was once in. Tired, Zonaki left the kitchen and went into her room as she gently closed the door. Zonaki walked over to her bed and dropped herself unto her bed. She closed her eyes and drifted off.
To Be Continued
Sanzo's Guardian Angel: Well this chapters done. I based this story on a question that I did on another story called 'Knowing a little bit more' Well I think that's the name. But the reason that I'm doing this story is out of boredom.
But honestly I also did this so that people who read it what it's like when Zonaki had a boyfriend when she was Seventeen and why Hakkai and Gojyo made him run away. Just to remind people I do not own Saiyuki. Even though I wish I did. Don't remind me (Sniff) so I'm a disclaimer. But I do hope you enjoy the next chapter. Remember 'Don't be Gloomy be Happy' (Laughs)
