Disclaimer: I don't own any Sayuuki's characters. If I do, I won't be sitting here and typing out fan fic. Poor me….
Last Christmas, This Christmas
A/N: This fiction is inspired from the Beetle's song "Last Christmas".
I know I know it is after Christmas, but please bear with me. (My stupid secretary was bitching about me having this story up since 2 years ago.) What I want to say… I'm a very very popular person high in demand. (overwork and underpaid type)
This is my first fic. Hopefully it gets tons of glowering reviews (not FLAMES – I know that flames also glow).
This story is set on the journey back from the West after the Sanzo's group have defeated the resurrection and have made a peace pack with the Kougaji's group.
Chapter 1
This year it is going to be different… this year I won't make any mistake… and I won't cry…, thinks Goku.
He still remembers last year's Christmas that end up something like this…
(Flash back)
Goku POV:
"What is this!" yelled a really pissed off Sanzo one of his nerves can be seen twitching at his forehead
"Do you expect me to eat …this! … THIS!" "What is this in the first place?" shouted the blond hair priest. The twitching is getting worse …
"Maa" "Maa" soothed Hakkai. Trying to cool down the fuming blond and at the same time he saw a red head trying his best not to laugh out loud. This act earned the red head a sharp nudge at the ribs.
"Ouch!" "What do you do that for Hakkai," said the red head, Goyjo.
Hakkai lifted his eyes towards a young boy with tears pooling around his beautiful golden eyes.
"Oh…" seeing the sad picture of the sad young boy standing there with hands clenching and unclenching at his side and tears in his eyes, makes Goyjo wanted to shout at the prissy priest. But before Goyjo can say anything…
"Uuh… ssorry Sanzo" "It's a ch-chocolate cake that I mm I baked for you as a as a Christmas's present…" stammered Goku, staring at the heart shape blacken object that had made Sanzo mad early in the morning on Christmas day.
As the priest is still shaking with anger at the offending object served as breakfast, Goyjo really pitied the baka saru to be screamed at by his idolized guardian that don't care a damn for the effort that the saru had put into baking the cake even though it look like a big lump of coal, albeit a heart shape coal.
The breakfast did not end very well…
Goyjo was hit on the head a few times from the piss-off priest's harisen. After Goyjo yelled at the priest for being an inconsiderate, inhuman iceberg and other names imaginable.
The priest stalked off somewhere in need of peace
Goku stumbled up the stairs to his room and cried his eye out, remembering the despair and knives twisting pain where his heart is.
While Hakkai was left to clean up the kitchen and the dining area.
(Flashback end)
Back to present…a few days before Christmas.
"Yes!" "I know what we can do to help the baka saru" says a red head to his lover who is sipping tea quietly at the table.
Hakkai just smiles and keep sipping tea, knowing what ever mad idea that his red head lover comes out with, will not be successfully carry out or will not even work as he gets distracted easily.
"Hey! Hakkai are you listening to what I have been talking all along…" grumbles Goyjo "Are you in with me to help the saru?"
"Hai" "Hai" agreed Hakkai not knowing that agreeing without first knowing what is being plan is going to be a very bad (and I mean very bad) idea. What is Goyjo up to? I know that under all that talks, he do cares for Goku, but to have spend so much time on this, I really wonder what is going on… Oh dear I do hope that he do not end up as target practice for Sanzo.
In a room upstairs looking out of the window a blond feel a cold shiver went down his spine, quickly turning around the bright room, he feels he is somewhat trap. Shaking his head, he thought that it must be the lack of cigarette ….
"Where is that boy.." grumbles the blond. Sanzo has earlier sent the boy to get him a packet of cigarette. Thinking of the baka saru makes Sanzo's heart constrict painfully and brought back the incident that happen on last year Christmas morning
(Flash back)
Sanzo's memory:
He was waken by a weight on top of him, opening his eyes, he saw Goku smiling with eyes of gold that shines. Goku kept smiling and pull him down the stairs even though he grumbled and tried scolding the saru. Once downstairs, he saw that both Hakkai and Goyjo were there at the table with breakfast ready.
Goku pushed him down on a chair and rushed into the kitchen.
Sanzo could feel that something strange was going on, with Hakkai really smiling and trying not to giggle while the stupid kappa was sniggering away.
He tried scowling at them and the more he scowled and glared, the more he heard the kappa's laughter.
He could not take it anymore, his hand was itching to pull out his harisen to whack the red head, when he heard his saru (wait a minute… HIS saru!) calling his name and coming out of the kitchen holding a big covered plate in his hand.
The baka saru looked apprehensive at him before putting the covered plate in front of him. Suddenly Goku just hugged him tightly and said "I know it isn't much…but Merry Christmas Sanzo" The boy wiped away the cover and there on the plate I saw a heart and I heard Goku continued "Sanzo, I dun have much money to buy you anything great, but I would like to present to you my heart on this Christmas day…"
A charred lump of thingy was on a plate, looking more like charcoal then cake. The only distinguishable feature of the said cake was its shape. A heart shaped cake.
Sanzo was shocked… more then shocked not because of the inedible cake served to him, but the shape, the words and action of the saru has brought out feelings he never thought he had. He was more then scared and with this he knew that he over reacted and he yelled and screamed at Goku…
(Flash back end)
Present…
Sanzo sighs … he knows that his reaction that day a year ago hurts the boy, maybe even broken the baka saru's heart. But he was afraid; yes the mighty Sanzo is afraid. He is afraid that he can not control this situation, he is afraid he can not control this new emotion and most of all he is afraid that he had already love Goku and will lose him as he lose his master. Should that happen, he believes that he can never continue to live. So that is why for this past year, he tries his damnest to suppress this new emotion and act as cold as possible, hoping of all hope that Goku will forget him and find someone more worthy to love. He knows he is being selfish, but he didn't know what else he can do, after all what the baka kappa says about him an antisocial walking iceberg is correct.
"Hey! Where is everybody"
He hears Goku called out downstairs. Strolling downstairs Sanzo sees Hakkai and Goyjo come out from the kitchen and there is a surprise look on their face.
"Everyone please meet Min" Goku smiles and pulls a blushing girl from outside the door towards the gather group.
