Goku ran over Hakkai and Gojyo who were standing by the ocean waiting for him.
"Ready?" Gojyo asked with a smirk.
"Yep." Goku answered. Just then Gojyo picked Goku up.
"Okay then here we go." Gojyo laughed putting Goku over his head.
"Hey stop no fair I didn't say you could throw me in." Goku yelled kicking and flailing. Hakkai and Gojyo laughed then counted to three and threw Goku in.
"Yuck, nasty it tastes like salt." He muttered as he was spitting when he came out.
"Goku most of the ocean bottom is salt." Hakkai said picking up some sand.
"Really that's cool and nasty tasting." Goku said. Then Hakkai and Gojyo went in also. They went out pretty far and played in the waves. Goku tried to body surf but ended up eating sand again. Then they all had a water fight.
"I never knew the ocean could be so much fun." Goku said splashing Gojyo.
"Yea stupid monkey." Gojyo said ducking Goku's head underwater. After awhile they decided to head back. When they got back Sanzo was still reading the paper.
"Did you have fun?" He asked.
"Yea except Gojyo kept ducking me under." He muttered glaring at Gojyo. Then they started a fire and got dressed. Hakkai decided to go for a walk.
"Hey Goku want to join me I am just gonna walk around maybe find some sea shells?" Hakkai asked.
"Sure let's go." Goku said excited to see some interesting things which he was sure Hakkai could show him.
"You can go just come back before sunset okay?" Sanzo said.
"Okay sure thing Sanzo." Hakkai said and then they walked off. They walked along the beach until.
"Hakkai!" Goku yelled.
"Goku what is it." Hakkai said worried that Goku hurt himself.
"Whats that?" Goku said pointing at a shell as it started moving along the shore.
"Oh, that's a hermit crab." Hakkai said laughing.
"Crab, you mean like the kind we eat?" Goku said with a disgusted look on his face.
"Yes but it is cleaned and cooked first of course." Hakkai chuckled. They continued to walk along stopping every few minutes to have a lesson about what they saw. They came across many different creatures. They even stopped and looked at some tide pools. Eventually they stopped and sat on some rocks.
"Hey Goku?" Hakkai asked. Goku was looking at some crabs running along the shore.
"Yea?" He asked looking up.
"Have you ever been in…love?" Hakkai asked kind of shyly.
"What, why?" Goku questioned back.
"Well I was just curios if you were in love with someone." Hakkai continued nervously.
"Umm to be honest yes I do love someone." Goku answered blushing.
"Really, who?" Hakkai said without thinking.
"Oh I'm sorry I mean only tell me if you want but I would like to know." He finished.
"Well can you tell me if you love someone first." Goku asked curiously.
"Umm I suppose that's alright." Hakkai said kind of worried. Hakkai then got really close to Goku. There noses were touch, then Hakkai took the chance and he kissed Goku on the lips deeply. Goku's eyes went wide with shock and he couldn't do anything he just sat there in amazement. Hakkai then moved back and tried to regain his composer to explain what just happened.
"Goku I, well I love you." Hakkai said very slowly.
"Hakkai loves me, what I say…I can't tell him I don't feel the same." Goku thought.
"Hakkai I don't know what to say to you." He answered.
"Tell me what you truly feel, I wont be mad if you don't love me although it will be a little disappointing." Hakkai said trying to add reassurance to Goku.
"Although to be honest if you don't love me I do not know what I will do I don't think I can survive without you, Goku ever since I met you I have always loved your optimistic self. You are always so happy and that helps me to bear my past." Hakkai thought to himself. Goku then stood up and took a few steps away from Hakkai heading back in the direction of the camp.
"Hakkai I am so sorry, I do not feel the same, I am in love with…with Sanzo." Goku screamed out loud and he ran back towards camp. Hakkai just stood there and watched him run. He noticed that tears flew from his face.
"Oh Goku you must feel awful just saying what you did, thank you for telling me the truth now though." Hakkai whispered as he saw Goku run away.
"So he loves Sanzo, that was to be expected. What do I do now, well I want Goku to be happy and if he loves Sanzo. I want them together if that would make him happy. First I think I should tell Goku that everything is alright. Although this does hurt, I am fine, maybe there is someone out there for me then who can bring me the happiness that you cannot." Hakkai thought as he stood up and started walking for camp allowing Goku to get back and cool down, he took his sweet time. When Goku got back to camp he had stopped crying and looked like nothing happened. He ran up and then saw Sanzo standing in front of his tent. Goku stopped and stared at him his eyes about to burst into tears again. Sanzo just stared back at him as if he was searching Goku for something.
"Goku is something wrong?" Sanzo asked in his normal dull tone. Goku stared some more then finally he pushed Sanzo out of the way and walked into his tent zipping it up so no one could come inside. He then buried himself in his blankets so hopefully he could fall asleep and forget everything.
"Hey Sanzo where is Goku?" Hakkai asked when he finally arrived at the camp site.
"He went in his tent." Sanzo answered.
"Did Goku say anything." Hakkai asked curiosly.
"Say something no..but he looked worried." He answered again. Hakkai then walked up to the tent and tried to walk in then he noticed it was zipped up. Hakkai sort of chuckled at the fact Goku was so afraid to face him.
"Goku aren't you hungry you know you cant just stay in that tent forever." Hakkai said knowing that Goku was listening. Goku then looked up and his stomache rumbled now that he thought about it he hadn't eaten all day. Hakkai heard his stomache rumble and he laughed a little. Just then Goku opened the tent he looked at Hakkai long then he looked at Sanzo and he pushed Hakkai out of the way and ran away leaving the rest of the gang staring behind.
