Stigmata
vVv
Recap:
A voice, no, voices, coming from all around. The omnipresent voice spoke in celestial tounges, starting out in ghostly whispers, gradually growing louder and louder until his ears felt like they were bleeding. The shrieks and wails overcame his sensitive senses, the yowls bringing tears to his eyes. Goku sealed his waterlogged orbs from his stygian world, and the horrifying scenes rushing one by one through his head.
Soon. Soon he would be lost in his head. Soon there would be nothing left of his concious and his already weak mental state would shatter, his diadem with it, letting lose his contained monster.
Chapter 1
Some time later
"Mou, Hakkai..."
"Shut up, you boiling baboon!"
"Shove it, intoxicated ingrate." Goku retorted thoughtlessly. Insults like that just came naturally to him, despite their bad sounding-ness. Goku turned hisattention back to Hakkai.
"'Kai-chan, are we there yet?" Goku had recently adopted this kawaii little nickname for their green companion as a result of what happened in the west. He tried to give everyone a cute nickname, well, except for Gojyo, but only Hakkai let him. Looking over to Sanzo, Goku noticed how the evening light reflected off his fine strands. He tore his line of eyesight away from the monk's back head, scolding himself for what he had done. Yes, Sanzo was his sulight, but he was 100 sure that was it. Nothing else did he feel for the monk except adoration for his release.
"Now now, Goku. Just a little bit further, and we're there." Hakkai reassured. He turned his head from Goku back to watching where he was driving. He affectionately patted Hakuryuu's dashboard, promising a full night's sleep when they arrived.
"Well how much longer? I'm booooored!" Goku whined, acting childish. He turned on his puppy-eyes- or in Goku's case, chibi-chimp eyes- full force. He was about to cutely pounce onto Hakkai's arm and whine when a strong muscled arm went down on him, pushing him forcefully crashing to the ground. Sensing the saru's anger, Gojyo quickly took on an innocent look, arms casually laying on his thighs, and looking out his right side of the jeep. Goku sat upright on his side, the left side, and glared daggers at the sprite. Gojyo wasn't watching as Goku suddenly gave the smallest of winces, for absolutely no apparent reason, and backed off without a word.
Sanzo, who had been quietly eavesdropping, frowned at the lack of response from the baka. He stole a glance in the side view mirror, seeing Goku hunched in his seat, as if trying to hold back his anger. A thin eyebrow was arched. Wierd. Sanzo thought. He opened his mouth to comment, and said:
"What's the matter, -" Hakkai interrupted.
"Goku, we're there!" He said gleefully, as usual. Hakkai turned around, smiling at Goku. Said monkey immediately relaxed, looked up to Hakkai, and smiled innocently. Caught in the middle of his sentence, Sanzo abruptly ended it and shut his mouth tight, and looked back to his monkey. Wait a second. What exactly did I just think? I don't own him or anything...so why did I say 'mine'? I need a cigarette. But he froze when his eyes laid upon the sweetly smiling boy. Before anything could be registered in his mind, he bitterly spat,
"Hurry up, stupid. And wipe that grin off your face. You look retarded."
Goku finally returned to normal and grunted when Gojyo leaned over on top of Goku exaggerating the space needed to reach the handle to open the door. "Stupid sprite!"
"Hey, I'm not a brand of soda! My name's Gojyo, remember it, you stinkin' saru!"
Before they could really get into a fight, a loud 'thwack!' sound was heard, and the two now had large, throbbing bumps on their heads. Sanzo walked towards their destination, harisen in hand.
"Get a move on it! Fuck, your insults are as bad as a month old horse carcass!" He shouted over his shoulder. Tenderly nursing the wounds on their heads, both saru and sprite grinned, and ran to catch up with Sanzo. Hakkai had already gone in the building. This was going to be a fun few weeks, they all thought.
