Sekowari: I'm starting to think that the chapters are getting more pointless and weird as I write them. Not much about the party here. Sorry if you find this utterly strange and, well, strange. R/R if you're in the mood for it.
Chapter 4 -- The Life of Gossiping Workers
It turns out that Rinrei enjoyed the party after all, in her own way. For the millionth time that day, she glugged down the millionth bottle of sake. Homura was frantically tugging away the drinks before she could puke onto him again. That, of course, resulted in a fierce tug-o-war. It was too much for Rinrei's weakened and dizzy mind at the moment, and in the end, the war god still got his fair share of chunky blobs of you-know-what.
Off to the side, Gojyo and Dougan took in the entire seen. The redheads admired the fact that Rinrei was such a serious drinker.
'All the more reason to like her.' The two brothers thought in unison.
Meanwhile, Sanzo had shut himself up in the men's washroom, just to get away from Kamisama. Stupid really, considering the fact that the crazed man could just get in somehow.
Kanan had reunited with her beloved Hakkai, leaving Yaone to grieve pitifully beside Doku. The adults had gotten together to chat away the time. Kougaiji was fooling around with his sister Lirin (don't take it the wrong way), simply because she wanted more meat buns from Koumyou.
The cast had handed the now unconscious Rinrei over to Dr. Nii to be taken care of. Don't worry – the real Nii can be trusted. I think. Hazel had taken this chance to engage in conversation with Homura over his coloured contacts.
"They look so real! What's your natural eye colour anyways?" Hazel was fascinated over this.
Homura sighed. "That's none of your business. The contacts are just different colours, okay? Nothing special about that." He waved his hand and walked off, leaving a confused Hazel.
"Oh well, my blue eyes are still better…"
In general, the party was a drag. The director failed to notice this.
Just to liven things up, the workers on the set had the day off as well. I must tell you that the workers were all females, obviously because they would be able to see bishies all day long, even though they have to put up with stupid directors.
We all know that girls like gossiping, and a certain three girls were professionals in this matter. While taking a break, one of them whispered excitedly, "Ne, you know Kougaiji? I heard that he's acting brutal to the youkai lately. I've really seen it happen!"
"Why is that?"
"It's because he was dumped by his girlfriend, Kanasuya. She left him to go back to live with her younger sister."
"Hey, you know what? I heard that her little sister actually used to be Homura's ex-girlfriend!"
"Huh? I'm so confused."
"…Tch. Figures, maybe that's why he's always being nice to Rinrei, so he won't be rejected again."
"How dumb. He already is rejected! I mean, it's so obvious that Rinrei has her eyes on Mr. Hot Priest Genjyo Sanzo-sama." At this, the three females grinned secretly.
"I feel so sorry for Sanzo. He's always being chased by that freak, Kamisama."
"EW! I just know he's gay!" One of the girls practically squealed out this statement. They were shocked to find that Kamisama had heard them. He walked over to the mortified three, and smiled. –shudder-
"Gay, am I? Well, that's possible, but not probable." With this, the man smirked and went off again.
"I still think he's a homo."
"Look what you did! He's coming back!" The three female workers jumped up and raced towards a cautious Sanzo, who finally willed himself to come out of hiding. He looked up, startled, when the girls grabbed his arms, but was whisked away before he could react.
Sanzo was left in peace eventually, so the girls went to hear more gossip. There was a special guest today, and it happened to be a very glamorous young lady, dressed in a cardigan and flowing skirt. Her perfect lips curled into a perfect smile when she saw the three girls staring at her.
"Wow, you must be the special guest. Pleased to meet you!"
"Hello, my name's Shiseiko." Her voice was like a chorus of angels. Music.
The other two females, however, wasted no time and got to the point immediately. "So, onee-chan, have you heard any interesting news lately? Do you think you could tell us why Kamisama adores Sanzo-sama?"
Upon hearing this, Shiseiko's eyes flashed mischievously. "Kamisama is not attracted to the same gender. He irritates Sanzo as a way of getting…revenge."
The girls' eyes widened. "Why? Why?"
"…Sanzo loves someone very dearly, and Kamisama has feelings for this special someone as well. Because the female only loves Sanzo, Kamisama torments him as a way of expressing his rage."
"So who's the lucky girl?"
"It's…Sanzo's own sister."
"I didn't know he had a sister!"
"Wait a minute, isn't that like Hakkai and Kanan's relationship in Saiyuki?"
Shiseiko laughed nervously. "Well, they got that whole idea from Sanzo, actually."
"That's wrong…"
"Just tell us the name of his sister."
For awhile, Shiseiko remained silent. Finally she stood up and said slowly, "Her name is…Shiseiko." The young lady walked away without a sound.
The workers stared at each other in disbelief. They started to splutter gibberish.
"This must be the coolest news of the century! We have to tell the rest of the cast!"
Before they could go, however, they were stopped by a nervous Dr. Nii.
"Sorry to intrude on your conversation, ladies, but could you go to the medical room? Rinrei has thrown up all over the floor, again." Nii wiped sweat off his brow, and dashed off again.
-blink- "Great, just great. Everyone has fun, while we're stuck here sweeping junk that comes out of people's mouths." The three proceeded to mutter unintelligible language to no one in particular.
Yes, the party was fun indeed -- hours had passed, and Kanzeon was staring up at the blue sky, and yawning out of sheer boredom. Off in the distance, the beginnings of a crazy catfight could be heard.
Mmhmm, wonderful indeed…but the director, once again, failed to notice.
Sekowari: There you go. Very pointless, as I have said. Not many ideas for upcoming chapters. Any suggestions? Please R/R!
