A/N: This part starts the same night of chapter 6 and the around the time the others sat at the bench.
Chapter 7
Sanzo was sitting on the bed reading his paper and smoking his cigarettes one after the other. He had a lot on his mind. He was not sure that the other two idiots would be able to keep things going without messing up the journey west. Love didn't have any place on a quest. Sanzo looked at Goku and found him at the table fiddling with a deck of cards, as he heard the others' door close. Well, I guess Hakkai and the kappa are home; maybe now we can get some sleep. Goku was not going to go to sleep yet because for some reason he just wasn't tired tonight. "Hey Sanzo want to play a game of cards?"
"You can't play a good game of cards with only two players."
"So, we get Hakkai and Gojyo to play." Replied Goku happily.
"I don't think they have cards on their minds tonight Goku."
"Well, what do they have on their minds that's so important? What's more important than a game of cards with friends?"
Sanzo took out his fan and smacked his charge with his fan a little too hard. "Hey, Sanzo, that really hurt that time."
"So stop saying stupid things so often."
"I don't say stupid things," was Goku's reply.
"Yes you do Goku."
"Like what Sanzo?"
"You don't know anything about sex."
"Whose fault it is it that, huh?"
Sanzo lowered his head and put it in his hands. "Okay I guess it could be a little my fault but you are so young I just don't think you need to know about things like that"
"Sanzo, did you ever think that I might want to know about it, and might even think about having sex?"
Sanzo jumped to his feet and yelled while pointing his finger at Goku for emphasis, "What do you mean? Who do you want to have sex with?"
Goku blushed, bowed his head, and said, "I think that's private information and you don't need to know."
"You are my charge and I am supposed to know anything that concerns you!"
"You don't want to know Sanzo--believe me!"
It was about that time that they heard a lot of loud banging and fierce commotion from the other room. Goku jumped to his feet. "What's Hakkai doing to Gojyo? Is he hurting him? Sanzo it sounds like he's hurting him. We better go help him." He started for the door.
Sanzo jumped to the rescue and stopped Goku from running out the door. "Goku he is not hurting him!" He turned a little pink on his cheeks and was getting madder by the moment. He didn't want to go through this with Goku.
"What is he doing then?"
"Goku, Hakkai and Gojyo are enjoying themselves believe it or not. And we are not going to bother them. Go to bed and try to drown out the noise. That is the best thing you can do right now. But tomorrow I'll take up this little debacle with those two and they are not going to be happy about it. I am going to put a stop to this in no uncertain terms."
Goku slowly went over to his bed and put on his sleeping clothes as he thought to himself. Man, I don't know anything 'cause Sanzo will never tell me about it. And, especially if he knew it was him that I had feelings for, he would go ballistic. What am I going to do? And how am I going to sleep with all that noise going on? After that he tried to relax and eventually got to sleep. Waking in the morning he looked over and found Sanzo gone, so he jumped up and got ready to go down to breakfast.
When he got to the dinning room there was Sanzo with a scowl on his face, a cup of coffee, the paper, and of course a lit cigarette. Hakkai and Gojyo weren't there yet, but he was not looking forward to that anyway.
Goku ordered his own breakfast and thought he had better order extra because after the fireworks started with Sanzo he would not get anything else to eat for a while. He heard the other two coming down the steps all cheerful and chatting in low voices. When they got to the table he refused to look up because he really didn't want to see this.
"Hey, Sanzo, Goku, good morning!" Hakkai said with great happiness.
Then he noticed Sanzo's scowl on his face and the cigarette going like a smoke stack.
Oh, no this was not what he expected but he knew Sanzo enough that things were not good. Both Hakkai and Gojyo sat down at the table and Gojyo reached over under the table and clasped Hakkai's hand gave it a little squeeze for comfort.
"So you finally came down to greet the rest of the world did you?" Sanzo said with a harsh slow drawl.
"Yes, is something wrong Sanzo?" Hakkai asked.
Sanzo took in a slow breath and let it out just as slowly. He looked Hakkai straight in the eyes and then Gojyo. He leaned back and said in a slow and metered speech, "I guess you don't know that there are other people in the world and that they really don't want to hear you two idiots fucking all night long."
"Sorry, Sanzo." Said Gojyo
"Tch!... Not as sorry as you're going to be…I forbid you from having sex until this quest is over. That is my final word."
"Sanzo, you can't do that. We are grown men and we can do whatever we want. You can't stop us." Said Hakkai.
Sanzo looked Hakkai straight in the eye.
akkai inHakkai straight in the eys and then Gojyo
Hakkai looked Sanzo straight back and did not blink.
Sanzo knew he could not make them follow the rule but he sure wanted to hit one of them to make a point but he thought he better not if he didn't want them thrown out of the inn. He sat there and thought for a while and decided, "Ok, you can do as you please but if you make one little noise that I hear I'm going to cut off Gojyo's penis."
"Hey, why me?" pleaded Gojyo.
Sanzo looked at him and said, "Because it will be funnier." With that he got up and folded his paper and went back upstairs.
"Whew," came from Goku. "I thought you guys were dead for sure."
"Well, it may not be over yet because I am not giving up my lover for anyone, ever!" Exclaimed Gojyo.
Hakkai leaned into Gojyo and looked up into his eyes and said," You are the only one I will ever love." After that he gave him a peck on the lips and looked around to see if anyone had caught him. No one had so he smiled happily and squeezed Gojyo's hand back.
"You and me babe, forever." Gojyo decreed.
