Disclaimer: I don't own these characters and make no money from this but I wish I did, as so many of us fan fiction people do. Just think about it… there are thousands of people wishing they had come up with the idea first. Interesting isn't it… That said; enter the characters….
Chapter 15
The two lovers woke entangled in each others arms and each looked at the other. Hakkai asked, "Can you move this morning?"
Gojyo tried to move and groaned, "You really were a sadistic bastard last night."
Hakkai blushed and said, "I am so sorry love, but I had a lot of pent up emotions that seemed to come to the surface." And he reached over and gave Gojyo a kiss on the nose.
"You think that is going to make it better?" Gojyo huffed.
"I always heard 'kiss it and make it better'" Hakkai replied innocently.
"Well, I got other places that hurt you can kiss, too," Gojyo said with a leer.
"Hush and get yourself up so I can get out of bed." Hakkai replied fawning over Gojyo.
Trying to move again but having trouble with it, he continued to try anyway, and Gojyo finally sat on the side of the bed. He groaned again and rubbed his arms and then the side of his head. "Between the beating you gave me for entering the room and the amorous activities afterward, I am a wreck. I could go back to bed and sleep for a week."
Hakkai smiled and said, 'Don't grip; I heard enough moans of ecstasy last night to where, you can't complain with any force behind it at all." Then he just laughed a little and got up starting to dress.
Gojyo knew by that he had lost any fight he could think of winning. So, he just decided to change the subject, "What ya think is gonna happen between the monkey and that shit head of a monk?"
"I have no idea, but I think things are going to be interesting. Shall we go to breakfast and see?"
"Yep, we might as well." As they had gotten dressed while talking they went down the stairs to face what was going to happen for the day.
Entering the dinning room they saw only the monk sitting drinking tea and smoking a Marlboro. He looked like shit. Gojyo looked at Hakkai and gave him a glance of askance. Hakkai just shrugged his shoulders and made a face that said 'I don't know'.
They both sat in their usual places on the opposite side of the table. Hakkai took it in his hands to find out the reasoning behind the monk's glare, "So, did you sleep well last night Sanzo?" he said in his sing song Hakkai way, adding a smile at the end.
"Shut your mouth or get a bullet in the head," replied Sanzo.
Hakkai cleared his throat and responded,"Well, where is our Goku this morning?"
"Shit, don't look at me. I have no idea. He was in his room all night," came from Sanzo.
Gojyo whispered to Hakkai, "How do you think he knows that?" giving an evil grin at he end.
Hakkai just smiled his Hakkai smile as the waitress came to the table. He ordered breakfast for everyone with a good portion for Goku, as he was sure he would be hungry when he came down…as he always was.
The food came in quick order and as it was being sat on the table Goku ran down the steps and around the corner at a breakneck speed only slowing down when he got to his place at the table beside Sanzo. He had a huge smile on his face and looked well rested. Actually, he was being the only one of the group that looked that way. He then sat down at the table beside Sanzo. But, he sat very close to Sanzo getting in the other man's comfort zone. Sanzo just looked very uncomfortable but said nothing.
Gojyo looked at Hakkai yet again with wondering eyes and Hakkai still had no answer to give him so he just surged and began eating. Breakfast went uneventful except for the occasional fight over some food from Gojyo and Goku which was normal. Hakkai fed the small dragon bits as he ate. Sanzo picked at his food and moved it around his plate to make them think he was eating but he couldn't stomach anything. Thinking to himself,' why does he have to sit so close? How am I going to live with him this close, without taking him in my arms, and taking his body with all that is in my heart? Oh, dear gods, I want him so much.'
Breakfast was soon finished and the group got read to leave and got in Jeep and were off. Traveling west again as they usually did each one in their assign seat. Late in the afternoon Gojyo scooted down in his seat and tried to get comfortable for a nap and noticed the monkey was getting droopy eyed, too. Goku lost the fight with reality and went into slumber and fell forward on Sanzo's shoulders. There was an "hmp" from Sanzo but he didn't move otherwise except to brace himself, so he didn't fall forward.
Gojyo looked at this with a suspicious mind. 'Okay, the little monkey sits too close to the monk at breakfast and now he has fallen onto his shoulders to sleep. This is a very interesting turn of events here. I think Goku has got a plan and it seems to be working.' He just leaned back with a smile on his face and took the nap he had been looking forward to. Hakkai had noticed the happenings, also and drove on with his usual smile, but perhaps it was just a little bigger.
Sanzo's mind was a little numb. He had no idea what to do with Goku almost falling on him asleep. If he moved to the side Goku would fall straight in his lap. 'Damn, what am I going to do? I s there anything I can do? Oh, it feels so good to be this close to my sweet love. I love you so much but I can't give in and let the others know anything. If I just stay this way they won't suspect and I can be close to you this is sheer heaven and hell at the same time.' So, there they went traveling west with Hakkai driving, the kappa in the back seat napping, Sanzo trying not to notice the monkey on his back, and the monkey pretending to nap with a smug smile on his face. There is nothing like a happy monkey.
The afternoon was uneventful until late in the afternoon, as they were driving near a large wooded area, and a wild eyed group of demons came running out to attack the group. Hakkai stopped Jeep and they all jumped out in battle readiness.
Each taking their share of demons Hakkai hurled chi balls at them and destroyed many while Gojyo felt like a little hand to hand combat so he just lit into them with fists and kicks taking his share with no trouble. Sanzo was shooting his share with his banishing gun while Goku was after his bunch with his Nyoi-bo extended into a sansekkon staff. Goku just lucked up to see one of the demons coming at Sanzo from the back so he jumped into the air and took out the one behind Sanzo and the one that was coming for him on the rebound of his swing landing with and smile and a, "Ta-Da, thank you everyone, you may applaud now."
All the demons taken care of and things back to normal Goku just smiled and strode over to Jeep and got in the back seat. Hakkai, Gojyo and Sanzo, looked at the monkey king with there mouths open. Goku looked back and said, "So, you thought I would lose my edge if I loved you Sanzo? Well, what do you think now?" he said with great superiority.
Gojyo said,"Damned if he isn't stronger than before."
Hakkai replied, "I think you are right, Gojyo."
The both took this time to look at Sanzo with 'I told you so' looks on their faces and just ambled over to Jeep to get in, leaving the monk to stand with what he had said earlier about fighting and getting into trouble as the 'crow' he had to eat. As he walked to Jeep he thought 'damn it, they were right this time and I am never going to hear the end of it from the monkey. So, it worked this one time. It might not work another time.' He knew he had no credence at all to fall back on, but as usual this never stopped him before. He just got in Jeep and crossed his arms and looked forward. "Let's go."
That was the end of it for him but the others were thinking other things. Hakkai thought 'I hope we get to that Inn soon I am about give out.' Gojyo thought, Guess that will teach that ass of a monk, he is not the end all and be all of knowledge.' And Goku's thoughts were going to food as usual with a side of, 'I saved your ass today Sanzo, ha, ha.' Of course the great Sanzo was thinking… but there was only a. "Ch…" out of his mouth and his arms folded over his chest. The others thought maybe there would be more conversation from him later, but the monk was shut in his shell for the rest of the trip to the Inn.
I a few hours after night came Hakkai was getting worried, because he hadn't found the Inn he had thought was in their future, so, he had nothing else to do but tell the others his suspicions. "Looks like I must have read the map a little wrong and we are going to have to sleep outside tonight."
Gojyo showing his distain said, "Shit, Hakkai I was so ready for a good meal, sake, and a soft bed." Then he growled and began looking for a good camp site. "There over by the trees, that looks nice and comfy." Gojyo said.
Hakkai drove over to the space Gojyo had indicated and, yes, it did look like a nice place, it even had some nice soft grass to lay their sleeping bags on to make it more comfortable. He stopped Jeep and they all got out and started setting up camp as they had a hundred times before. Hakkai got a fire going with the wood Goku had found and was busy with supper. Gojyo was sitting next to him trying to bother the cook with small whispers in his ear and an occasional kiss when no one was looking. Hakkai just made a small noise and smacked Gojyo half heartedly for the tenth time.
Sanzo had set his sleeping bag on the other side of the fire from the lovers so he could get some sleep and not have to watch the goings on and nurse his heartache. Goku brought his sleeping bag over to where Sanzo was sitting on his and smoking and laid it out very close to Sanzo's. Yes, it was very close not an inch between the two. Sanzo looked a Goku and said, "What are you setting up so close to me for?"
Goku replied, "Well, Sanzo, this afternoon you almost got killed by that demon behind you, and I thought I would protect you tonight just in case."
Sanzo stood and fumed, "I was not in danger and you did not save me. I can take care of myself." With that he stomped off and into the woods. Goku waited a few minutes but not many and followed his Sun into the woods 'just in case'. He found Sanzo leaned up against a tree smoking and looking in a foul mood. "Sanzo, don't worry I will always be here for you…always." With that Goku turned and left to eat his dinner.
Sanzo came out of the woods in a little better mood and had his dinner in about a half hour. 'He liked it cold!' Then he went to bed, well, he thought he was going to bed but there was the monkey in his sleeping bag asleep almost on top of Sanzo's sleeping bag. Sanzo just sighed and wiggled into his bag as best as he could with a monkey on top of you. It was a great feeling, but he would never admit it to anyone and especially the lecherous two on the other side of the fire. 'What the hell are they doing and would they please go to sleep?' With that he was so tired and conscious of the bundle so close to him he decide to enjoy his own situation.
On the other side of the fire there were two with there sleeping bags very close. They were looking into each others eyes and whispering sweet nothings in each others ears. Gojyo looked at Hakkai and said, "You are even hot in that bag. You are my own little egg roll."
Hakkai laughed and replied, "May be but you would have a hard time eating me."
Gojyo laughed and leered, wiggled an eyebrow and said, 'You want to bet?"
Hakkai gasped and replied, "Go to sleep you pervert, I have to drive tomorrow and I need my beauty sleep!"
"Give me my goodnight kiss and I am off to dreamland." Gojyo replied.
Hakkai reach over and gave Gojyo a very delicious kiss. Gojyo ran his hand down Hakkai's bag on the inside and rubbed his manhood. Hakkai moved away quickly and said, "A goodnight kiss, not a goodnight grope was negotiated as I remember."
Gojyo smiled and said, "It's all good, babe." He licked Hakki's lower lip and turned over and went to sleep.
Sanzo was still awake but not in a bad mood, he was just enjoying the soft snoring that was so wonderfully close to his ear.
