Emergency: Sanzo's side of the story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got this call from Hakkai last night it sounded really urgent: -
"Yes Sanzo's office…" I heard a couple of shouts in the background. It's was like "Desperate measures…Hakkai you can't be serious" by the sound of that I'm guessing its Gojyo.
"Sanzo" Hakkai called. I just fiddled with my pen as I held the phone (if they ever had any…) "What is it Hakkai?" Goku was busy playing outside, climbing trees like a monkey usually does. I had no idea why he'd be calling me especially at this time of night.
"Can you come over to our house tomorrow?" I looked puzzled as I held my pen for a quick second "What for" I started to fiddle again. "It's Zonaki…"
"What about her?" I then lifted up my cup of coffee about to take a sip. Then the unthinkable was just said, "We think she might've had sex…" I stopped and spat my coffee back out. Cascading it all over my paper work. My eyes widened "Say what?"
"We think Zonaki had sex…" I relaxed "Are you sure?" I didn't really expect Hakkai to be saying stuff like this especially now…
"Well one night ago Zonaki came home late and the next morning she was acting strangely…" I just sat my cup back unto the desk. "All right…Hakkai don't jump to conclusions now I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for this…I'll come first thing in the morning" I slammed the phone down and sighed.
The next morning I just got up and rushed off. Without breakfast I took Goku with me. That's why you can here the pathetic whines in the background.
"Sanzo I'm hungry" I turned round and saw Goku sitting on the floor. Worn out…no surprise there since he's always hungry. I scrounged round in my robe and pulled out my harisen ready to strike. Thwak
"Ow what was that for…?" I glared at him then sighed and walked off. Goku jumped up and followed me. "Why we going to Gojyo Hakkai and Zonaki's place anyway?" I turned round "Because I had an emergency call from Hakkai last night…" Goku looked at me, puppy dog eyed "No it's that emergency your thinking off" Goku looked down. Sad "Hara hentai" (I hope that's how you spell it)
"It's about Zonaki…Hakkai said she's been acting strange lately" Goku shot right straight up again. "Why what's wrong with her, she sick?" I wish I could tell him but then he wouldn't know what I'm talking about. He's too innocent…I still wish I was.
It was really cold out here, Dammit why couldn't they live in the village instead of living outside…could save me a lot of trouble.
Then after awhile the cottage came into view. Goku ran straight ahead of me I followed. But what I didn't now that there was some thing very terrifying waiting for me when I get there.

Normal
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanzo stood in front of the door and knocked. There were a couple of sounds coming from inside. Sanzo and Goku waited as the chilling air surrounded them making a chill go down their spines.
The door opened swiftly. "Sanzo, Goku nice of you to come and visit" Zonaki jumped out with an apron on. Sanzo stared at her, Goku held on to Sanzo by his robes terrified. "Aaaagh did we come at a bad time?" Sanzo looked at her from head to toe. Zonaki bounced out eyes closed face cheerful as ever.
"Oh no, no come on in" Sanzo looked at the apron "Zonaki?" Zonaki opened her eyes innocently. "The apron……" She looked down then smiled "Oh I thought it would be nice if I tried it one…its nice isn't it…coming?" Zonaki ran back into the cottage.
Sanzo glared into the hallway, Goku blinked twice "She's jumpy isn't she?" Goku nodded. They entered it was very warm nice and cozy good thing to Sanzo needed it. If he stayed out there a little bit longer he would've been an ice man.
Sanzo and Goku entered the kitchen; Hakkai and Gojyo were sitting down having a cup of tea. "Hey" Hakkai looked up. Hakkai lifted himself from the chair and walked over to Sanzo.
"Well?" he whispered. Sanzo frowned and replied "Well she's a little bit more perky than before"

Leave and eat: Goku's side story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanzo and Hakkai were whispering to each other. I didn't know what they were whispering about. Couldn't hear them. I don't know what the big deal was. Zonaki was just sitting in the chair next to Gojyo letting her feet go forward and back. She looked pretty cheerful.
Gojyo just had his eyes closed and drank his tea. I could hear the slurps that he made. Zonaki then stood up and walked over to me all bouncy and happy. It's was kind a weird not to mention scary.
"So what have you been doing to yourself today?" I looked up and replied back "Nothing really…Um Zonaki-chan are you felling okay?" Zonaki just looked at me her eyes were wide like a puppy dogs.
"Yeah why you ask?" I stared at the ground. I couldn't find the right words to explain. Cause I'm not that old to know every single word.
"Zonaki…" I looked up Hakkai and Sanzo were looking in our direction. Zonaki raised her head up to him still smiling. "Yes" Hakkai closed his eyes "Why don't you take Goku and go play tag or something we'll just be a couple a minutes" I looked at Zonaki she looked and shrugged at me.
"Right then…" Zonaki grabbed my hand and dragged me behind her "Come on I know this really good restaurant that does this great dish" I started to drift off dreaming of what type of food that she was talking about.
"REALLY"
To Be Continued
Sanzo's Guardian Angel: Sorry that it took me so long the reason was because I didn't know how to start Sanzo and Goku's side of the story. Oh yeah I know that I left a phone in this one so please for the love of god don't point that out…I couldn't send a letter it'll take to long to get there. Their side stories aren't as good but I hope to improve this in the near future. So if there are any ideas on how I can improve this just ask and I'll think about it. Also pointing out if you want to borrow any of my characters that I made up like Zonaki for exampleyou know where to e-mail me but you'll have to give me a good reason why… (Laughs) Sorry just the way I am. I'll try and get to the forth part soon…so that this might get over even Sanzo's control.
