Part Two:
Sweet Lovers
Niku's Narration:
Well it took us five hours to get them out of prison but we finally did it. Somehow. We walked into the Inn. Zonaki staggered a bit. She didn't look very well. Ever since she got out of jail she looked kind a pale.
"Zonaki are you all right?" Hakkai walked over to Zonaki and held her gently. Zonaki looked at him…I don't know there was something about her smile that made her look weak. "Yeah I'm alright…" I looked at Goku. He was having another look around for the meals. I sighed.
Gojyo walked off into the bar…probably to get another drink. Or to sulk on the money he'd just lost. Goku went after him. Sanzo was just staring as usual…I think he has a problem…he was actually growling at Hakkai for just helping Zonaki.
Hakkai placed his hand on Zonaki's forehead he sighed. "Come on your going early" Hakkai lifted Zonaki up into his arms. Zonaki blushed. Now they seem like a couple…even though Zonaki says their not.
"Hakkai put me down…I can get up myself…" protested Zonaki softly. She's so stubborn…come on Zonaki give in for a change let the young man sweep you off your feet. It's so romantic…go on this is your chance… But as they went up Zonaki kept protesting while Hakkai counters but I couldn't hear what he said.
Sanzo tottered off in disgust. I followed after him wondering what's wrong. He sat down near a table and took out a cigarette. As he lit it making all the tobacco surrounds the air. I sat down across him. "What's wrong Sanzo?" Sanzo didn't answer me. He just continued to look at the stairs that Hakkai and Zonaki went.
So I thought for a minute then it hit me. I sniggered and looked at him "Sanzo…" Sanzo continued to smoke. "Do you love Zonaki-chan…?" Sanzo choked then looked at me face red. "Don't be ridiculous…you're an idiot Niku…" I knew it…I folded my arms and smiled at him so smug. "You do don't you…you sly devil…." Sanzo looked up at me and snapped "No that's not it…It's just something that she told me while we were in jail…" I paused.
Sanzo took a deep breath to explain to me "It was just when we were in the prison cell…Zonaki kind a felt emotional…she told me something…something that disturbs me…" I waited for him to finish…What? What could be so disturbing…and what does he mean emotional? I always thought that Zonaki was a strong person…a person who doesn't allow herself to cry.
Sanzo sighed and closed his eyes. "No it's probably for the best that you don't know all the details…" I looked at him sadly. What does he mean 'probably for the best'? And what 'details' is it really that disturbing? I laid my head down unto my arms and narrowed my eyes. "Is it really that disturbing…?" Sanzo didn't answer.
Breaking through the Silvered Armor: Zonaki's Confession and Niku's Side of the story.
It was almost an hour since Zonaki and Hakkai disappeared into that room so I decided to check up on them just incase they both slept together again by accident. I was outside the door about to knock until I heard voices coming from inside. I stopped and listened carefully.
"I'm always like this…" by the sound of that it was Zonaki.
I slowly opened the door but just an inch or a centimeter. I peeked in I saw Hakkai sitting on a chair with Zonaki lying on him he was gently messing her hair as her head laid on his chest. She looked very tired that I could tell…Zonaki looked sad.
"I'm always like this…a smile and joke sometimes…but…really…I'm…just so pathetic…" I seen a tear go down her face…I knew by now she wasn't herself…something is really troubling her…as I continued to listen "You see I only have my memory of three years ago…I envy you all for having a life…a past…when I don't…I've lost it…I've lost it Hakkai…" Hakkai closed his eyes "Shhhhh" he went Zonaki closed her eyes.
I jumped I was the one who started to cry…I placed my hands onto my face so that I can withdraw the tears. I didn't know…I didn't know that Zonaki didn't have a past…no one ever told me…I kept thinking that she must've had a happy childhood but she's just like my brother…not remembering your past must be hard…especially when you lose it entirely…I cried.
"Zonaki are you still awake…?" I looked back in Hakkai looked at Zonaki and smiled warmly. He lifted Zonaki and placed her on her bed and pulled the bed covers over her. I still felt sorry for Zonaki. Even though she's nineteen she still is a teenager like me…I guess even Zonaki feels sad sometimes…"Night Zonaki…sweet dreams…" I saw Hakkai coming near to the door so I ran off so that Hakkai didn't think that I was eavesdropping on their heart to heart conversation.
I guess I was right they do look like a perfect couple but I think that Zonaki and Sanzo would make a good couple…even though they don't get along very well like Zonaki is when she's with Hakkai?
I wonder what she dreams at night.
Zonaki's Narration: Complete Nightmare and I don't mean my Demon form pestering me…
Okay lets just say that this was a creepy dream…I wish I never thought up about it…It was about Sanzo…I know that's stupid but he's the last person I want to haunt me in my mind…It's bad enough that I broke up in that emotional state but now this happens…in all the times that it had to be it had to be now….
Right on with it…it was me in a bar, I was wearing this nice pink kimono with flowers on it all yellow and orange with a nice violet ribbon my hair was all let down and I didn't have my bandanna…I also had a fan as I waved it against me this place was very hot...no none of my friends were there…Niku would've loved this place because it was so quiet and appropriate to her. Then there was this guy in a dark blue kimono he looked very tall about Sanzo's height…but…I couldn't see his face because it was covered in a blue cloth…we talked for a while had some sake I got a little bit dizzy he helped me upstairs…
Then the dream of heaven turned into the nightmare of hell…
I'll think I'll stop there that could be terrifying for you…god of got to do something about this……
Let's see…I picked up a nice daisy and started to pick the petals off one by one…
I love him…I plucked a petal off
I don't love him…Plucked another one
And I repeated the process over and over again until I came to the last one. Holy shit if this is what I think it is…it can't be true…it can't be…I…I…I…
Then I saw Sanzo's face for a second…then I woke up.
Niku's Narration: Huh? Oh dear
There was a scream coming from next door I jumped…I got up from bed and ran into the next room wondering who it was.
"What's wrong?" I looked in and seen it was Zonaki she looked much tensed by the way she was clenching the bed clothes. She sighed and looked at me in a weird way like she had the most terrifying thing in the world…she never really said anything after that…but I guess there's no point in telling her that Goku ate her breakfast…
Intercession: slight interview or town gone mad?
Zonaki: (looks at Niku) what's wrong with you?
Niku: You never told me that you dreamed about Sanzo…(Glares)
Zonaki: Right…Welcome back you must be thinking who this gorgeous sexy figure that is standing in front of you?
Niku: (whispers) she's been drinking hasn't she?
Zonaki: Well it is I Zonaki and my cute assistant Niku…
Niku: Zonaki don't flatter yourself….
Zonaki: stares then turns back to audience In our next chapter we're going to have a short interview with our enemy Gyokumenkoshu-san…
Niku: WAIT HANG ON A MINUTE! WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?
Zonaki: Well…I just thought that the fans would like some comedy instead of action and adventure…
Niku: Idiot action and adventure is what keeps most people happy…wait a second…this is only so that people won't see the interesting part…
Zonaki: There isn't an interesting part? (Niku stares at her for a long time, gives in) All right there is but shouldn't be read by the public (Niku continues to stare) Niku it'll make a laughing stalk out of me…
Niku: More like Sanzo…you never told me that you dreamed about sleeping with…
Zonaki: (Jumps, slaps hand on Niku's mouth) Next chapter 'Pretty rebellion' and then we'll go back to the Town going mad kay… (Glares)
Niku: (Thinks for a minute) Yeah I guess that could work…
Zonaki: Good then we're all happy…
To Be Continued
Sanzo's Guardian Angel: Well I wonder if this wasn't boring…if so e-mail me…but any ideas come to me literally I thought I'd take a break from the story and do a funny short interview it might be script it might be story but until then tune in…But the reason it took me so long was because of work…work…more work…more nagging…more and more work…one second break…broke the wall have to pay for damages and many more…if only life was more interesting and fun than being dull and boring…I sometimes daydream which get me into trouble…oh great now I'm drifting off sorry…(Sweat Drops)
