Author Notes: Hey everyone! I have my second chapter up. This are developing nicely, at least I hope. This isn't going to be your normal HakkaixGojyo story, just to let you all know. Damn I can't let out my secret... I love writing stories and having them develop... anyway enjoy reading!

Disclaimer: I do not own Saiyuki in any way shape or form. Though I wish I did... then I would be swimming in money and writing the books instead of these crappy fan fictions. But I'm just a fangirl letting out her fantasies.

The next day Gojyo woke up bright and early. It was all Sanzo fault that he woke up so early. Usually if he could he'd sleep in a little later. Looking around the tent he realized that he was alone. Instantly he thought that maybe he hadn't woken up early enough and they left without him. Gojyo scurried to his feet, pulling on his clothes and ran out of the tent.

Once outside he realized that the other tent was still there. Peeking in he saw a sleeping Sanzo and Goku. So they hadn't left him, thank god. He was as important to this group as everyone else was, though he wouldn't put it past Sanzo to leave without him. Now another thought came over him. Where was Hakkai? Just then his question seemed to be answered by a splash not too far away. Hakkai was bathing. The thought brought a blush to Gojyo's cheeks. Why was the thought of Hakkai naked in a bath so damn exciting?

Shaking the thought from his head he decided to take a bath himself. He needed it; it had been a while since the last time he had a decent bath. Gojyo went back into the tent grabbing his bag and grabbing a clean change of clothes. He then moved his way down to the hot spring where he saw Hakkai in the water leaning against the shore a lot like you'd do in a bath. Gojyo gulped as he found a pair of green eyes fell upon him.

"Good morning Gojyo." Hakkai said with a smile.

"Good morning Hakkai. I hope it's all right, but I need a bath."

"It's fine. I don't mind."

Gojyo nodded slightly, undressing himself. After doing so, he stepped a toe into the water to test it first before going totally under the water. He brought his head back letting the water soak his crimson locks. Hakkai watched as he did this before resting his head back.

"The water feels nice, doesn't it?" Hakkai asked

"Yeah..." Gojyo answered

Hakkai opened his good eye to look at Gojyo. He didn't look like his normal self, something was wrong with him, there had to be something wrong. Gojyo wasn't acting like his normal self. Even Gojyo wasn't this quiet usually.

"Are you sick or something?" Asked Hakkai

"No. I'm fine."

"Are you sure? You're not acting like yourself."

Gojyo rested against a rock that was halfway in the water with a long sigh. Should he tell him how he feels? No, he couldn't. Hakkai would think he was insane. But what if Hakkai shared the same feelings as him? No that was impossible. Gojyo didn't even know if those feelings he was feeling for Hakkai were real or not. After all he had just developed these feelings not too long ago. Or so he though. Then the thought came over him, maybe he always felt about Hakkai this way, ever since he found him laying there. No, it couldn't be.

"I'm sure."

Hakkai nodded not wanting to ask anymore questions about the subject instead he pulled himself out of the water. Grabbing a towel the youkai began to dry himself off. Gojyo couldn't pry his eyes away. But as soon as his eyes wandered over the large scar over his stomach he instantly looked away. He remembered the night he found Hakkai. No he wasn't going to think about it.

"You look like you've seen a ghost. I think Sanzo will be waking up soon, you should hurry. Don't want to be left behind."

"Yeah..."

Hakkai finished getting dressed and walked away. Sighing Gojyo finished up his bath then got out. He dried himself off then pulled on his clothes. When he got back to the camp he saw the tents all ready taken down. Sanzo was leaning against a tree smoking a cigarette and Goku was fighting with Hakuryuu about something. The conversation went something like this.

"God you suck!"

"Chirp."

"You can change into something else you just don't want to give us a ride!"

"Chirp."

"I should eat you!"

"Chirp."

"Sanzo, I think its time to put your animal and Hakkai's animal in separate cages."

"Shut up Gojyo!" Hakkai said.

Hakkai turned around to look at Gojyo, a smile all ready on his face. He brought a hand to the back of his head, scratching it lightly.

"The road ahead in impassable by Hakuryuu. We're going to have to walk from here."

"Aw man."

So they started on their way to the next town. Hopefully what Hakkai had told them yesterday would be true, that they'd reach town by afternoon. So they started off, Hakuryuu sitting on Hakkai's shoulder. Gojyo was walking behind with Goku. For some reason he just couldn't stop looking at the back of Hakkai's head. Thoughts were running through his mind. The questions of if he should tell Hakkai how he felt. But would Hakkai love him back?

For some reason part of him doubted that Hakkai would ever love him. For one he had never seen Hakkai even look at other women. Maybe Hakkai was still grieving over his lost lover. Then there surely would be no room for Gojyo in his life, other than at the position of friends. His chest hurt at the thought.

"What's up with you?" Goku asked

"Nothing." Gojyo's tone was dark.

"Geez, don't get all pissed off... I was just wondering."

"There is nothing to worry about... just leave me alone."

Goku stepped up his pace so that he wasn't walking at the same rate as the pissy water sprite. Gojyo's eyes lowered to the ground, slouching slightly as he walked. Maybe Hakkai would feel the same way as he did. Maybe Hakkai loved him too. A smile came over his features. Maybe, just maybe, Hakkai was rooting for the other team. That could explain why he never saw Hakkai checking out women.

"Someone's bipolar." Goku snickered.

"Shut up you stupid monkey."

Gojyo grabbed Goku by the back of his cape, pulling him back. "You're going to regret saying that."

Just then there was an arrow that went flying in Gojyo's direction. It seemed to late, the arrow buried itself deep within Gojyo's gut. Gojyo lowered his eyes to the arrow that was sticking out of him. "Shit..." The rest of the group turned around.

"Gojyo..." Hakkai stared, his eyes shooting around the place.

Where did that arrow come from? Suddenly a group of youkai jumped out, surrounding the Sanzo party. Gojyo broke the arrow in half, his jakujou appearing in his hands. Goku's weapon also appeared in his hands and Sanzo pulled out his gun.

"Finally. Let's get ready to rumble." Goku said.

"Let's make this quick. I'm dying over here." Gojyo said.

"I agree." Said Hakkai.

"Hmn." Sanzo aimed his weapon.

A few youkai jumped in their direction, swinging away with swords. They connected with the jakujou, pushing them back. Once they were back far enough the crescent moon coming off with the chain, swinging around Gojyo's body taking down any youkai that was near him.

Goku blocked with the nyoibou, pushing them back. Jumping into the air, he used the end to beat into close youkai's head, killing them off instantly. He continued to move like this for a while. Sanzo shot at near coming youkai, banishing them.

Hakkai of course, blasted his chi. Soon all the demons were gone. Being overexerted Gojyo fell to his knees. Right now there was no bleeding, for the arrow was keeping him from losing any blood. Hakkai, moved over towards Gojyo to check on him.

"We need to get to town, quickly." Stated Hakkai.

Hakkai pulled the arrow out of Gojyo's gut. "Ow... that hurt." Using his chi, Hakkai quickly healed the wound. He helped his friend up, moving an arm over his shoulders. They all began to walk away, helping Gojyo to the next town. For some reason Gojyo didn't mind the help, after all it was Hakkai who was helping him.
