Hehe...this fanfic really just contains random happenings, actually. But please R/R!

Chapter 9 -- Bouzu's Birthday Preparations

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was another morning for the Saiyuki cast. And a cloudy one, at that.

Apparently, the cast soon realized that the weather matched the temper of a certain priest. Needless to say, the Gossip Girls were already at work on this.

After much discussing, scheming, and excessive borrowing of Nii's laptops, the three at last came up with the solution that it was a certain priest's birthday. Sanzo.

The man had decided to sleep in that day, but that didn't stop the cast. A surprise party was already at work.

"Oooooohh, I just love parties!" Gushed Gyoukumen, beaming happily.

Rinrei lazily swung herself off a chair. "Shouldn't that be my line?"

Homura, along with Gojyo, were thinking up ways to get revenge on the priest. As follows...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ne, maybe we should take away his cigs or something." The redhead grinned, picturing Sanzo having a fit over his smokes.

Homura shook his head. "Baka. Take away his gun...and fan."

"I know! Take his girl, Shiseiko, and then kidnap the bouzu!"

The toushin frowned. "You do it then. I already have Rinrei to take care of. And who would want to kidnap him? God forbid...you have crappy ideas."

"What? Do you have a brilliant scheme? You're a god, after all. I'm sure you're capable of doing wonders."

Homura merely shrugged, acting as if he had nothing to do with the whole thing.

Go Dougan happened to pass by, glancing at the two. "Hey little bro, don't get beaten up too badly alright? You're a huge embarrassment to our family."

The man skittered away hurriedly before his younger sibling could get at him.

Turning back to Homura, Gojyo found the toushin trying very hard not to snigger.

Before the kappa could lapse into an argument with him, however, they noticed a very delighted Kamisama bouncing over to them.

"Isn't this great! It's Sanzo-chan's b-day! Are you two planning something cool? Can I join too?"

Homura and Gojyo looked silently at the person standing before them. Clearing his throat, the redhead said, "Yeah, it's great. Unfortunately, I can't share your absolute...enthusiasm." -coughcough-

Kamisama blinked back at them, then broke into a grin. The toushin was just about to declare him as a complete lunatic, until a thought dawned on him. Kamisama...and Sanzo...

He shot a look at Gojyo, who was already smirking.

Rinrei, however, took the chance to interrupt them.

"Homura! What are you doing, hanging out with these people? Come on, I wanna go have fun with the others!"

The goddess latched herself onto Homura and attempted to drag him away.

Gojyo stared after the helpless god. How amusing. This would be perfect for blackmail.

"Hey Homura, I'll deal with Kamisama. You go and...attend to your girl."

The toushin nodded meekly as Rinrei broke into a conversation about all the booze they would have at the party.

'And the puke, too.' The god thought warily, clutching his stomach as a wave of worry washed over him.

After the couple left, Gojyo once again turned his attention to Kamisama. The man was completely unaware of the situation. Ah, yes. The makings of a beautiful plan were about to begin...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the meantime, the rest of the cast was scheming as well. Kanzeon and Rasetsunyo had decided to give Sanzo's hair a makeover. They would have to use force, of course.

Hazel was blathering on about how he would give Sanzo blue contact lenses for the day.

"So he can share in the beauty of blue." He stated dramatically.

Doku rolled his eyes, and Gyumao choked on his precious Starbucks Mocha.

Dr Nii was mumbling nonsense to his bunny. He later on turned to the two people sitting on the sofas next to him, asking them if they owned any pet rabbits.

Nataku pretended not to hear, while Goku chose to blast his iPod up to full volume.

Outside in the open field privately used for the studio, Hakkai and Kanan were considering getting something appreciative and nice for Sanzo. Upon spotting Yaone, the kind healer had insisted that she join them.

Kanan begrudgingly agreed. Stealing a glare to her rival, she then turned to Hakkai and smiled sweetly, leaving poor Yaone to follow in their shadows.

On top of a tree, Kougaiji had planted himself conveniently just so he could spy on his secret love, Yaone. He didn't care much about the priest's birthday. Of course he would leave the planning and work for other people to do.

He was slightly upset to find that Lirin had disrupted him.

"What are you doing here?" His voice was just a bit too sharp, but his sister didn't seem to notice.

Lirin sighed. "Why don't you just tell Yaone nee-san how you feel about her? It's pretty obvious, you know."

The youkai prince was quite taken aback. Since when did Lirin get so interested in these things? Sure she had her period already and whatnot, but romancing was left for the older teenagers.

Turning back to look at Yaone, he muttered, "She already loves Hakkai..."

"But come on, Kougaiji onii-chan! It's just a silly crush! You're better, and you know it! Yaone nee-san just hasn't given you a chance yet! I mean, the two of you are perfect compared to people like Homura-sama and Rinrei!"

Kougaiji paused to think this over. Yes, that made sense. Homura and Rinrei were a horrible pairing, after all. He still couldn't understand why the toushin would be willing to be with Rinrei. Sure, she was all pleasant on the show. But really, who would have thought that she would turn out to be a boozer?

Maybe there was a chance with Yaone after all...

"Onii-chan..."

"Nani?"

"Ano...can I have a meatbun?"

Kougaiji growled. "No. I'm busy."

The prince then proceeded to bop his sister. Apparently he hit her too hard, causing Lirin to trip out of the tree.

Kougaiji peered down to find that she was fine. Satisfied, he turned back to his spying.

Lirin got up slowly and ran over the things that she could do for revenge.

"Kechiiii..."

Rubbing her head, she stalked off to find Koumyou for her desired snack.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shiseiko lay sprawled out on her chair. This was a day for relaxing. Sanzo's birthday was tomorrow, after all. She already knew what she would get for him. A nice make-out session would do nicely.

Honestly, what was wrong with loving your own brother? Nothing, of course. It just shows how close you can get to family. And another thing was that she and Sanzo were twins. A perfect match.

Anyways, the majority of Saiyuki fans didn't seem to have a problem with this...right? Hakkai and Kanan had merely acted it out. Though it was nothing close to the real thing. Why was Sanzo always portrayed as the evil priest who didn't give a rat's tail about females?

Shaking her head, Shiseiko invited herself into Kanasuya and Yukare's conversation. Apparently, Kanasuya was saying that she completely regretted going to dinner with Kamisama that one time.

"I mean, is he gay or not? One second, he wants a piggyback ride from Sanzo. The next second, he invites me to dinner! I even spent the night with him!"

Shiseiko did find Kamisama's obsession rather grotesque. She knew he was doing it on purpose, of course. Was he still mad because she rejected him before? How childish.

Though Shiseiko was really starting to wonder if he was gay after all. The things he tried to do to Sanzo were a little frightening. Nevertheless, Shiseiko was fine with this. She loved seeing Sanzo getting all panicky from time to time. It was so fascinatingly hilarious.

Back to the conversation...

"Well, you can't know for certain if he bats for the other side, know what I mean? Just don't get serious with him."

Kanasuya laughed at this. "Hell, as if I'll ever get a chance! He's attached to Sanzo 24 hours a day, am I right Shiseiko?" The two females turned to said person.

"Umm...Yes, I suppose so."

"Don't you take it as a big deal? I mean, Sanzo is your boyfriend."

"Well, it's not a big deal. Sanzo can take care of himself. And if Kamisama did anything stupid, I would bash him, no doubt." Shiseiko grinned at her own joke.

"Obviously! Anyone would do that! Girl Power!" Yukare laughed. She was overly bubbly today. There was no acting, much to her relief. Everyone was busy with the party.

"I still think he's gay."

"Ne, how about we team up on Kamisama and punish him?" Kanasuya glittered with mischief.

"Are you sure? I heard Gojyo and Homura were planning something, and it's got something to do with him."

"Sugoi! What is it?"

"The gossip girls are saying that they're making Kamisama flirt with Sanzo tomorrow!"

"Oh my...this I've got to see..."

"……"

"Yup. Poor Sanzo..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Somewhere else...)

"You aren't joking, are you Homura?" Zenon couldn't believe his ears. Flirting? Sometimes his friend could come up with the strangest things...

"Of course I'm not joking, baka."

"No wonder Kamisama looked really happy just now." Shien muttered.

Zenon was still ogling at Homura.

"Nani? Don't look at me like that. Do I have flowers on my face?"

"...Does Rinrei know?"

"Obviously. She forced me to tell her. Now the whole cast will know..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed, the cast did know. Everyone stopped what they were doing to stare as Kamisama pranced around the studio merrily, singing to himself.

Goku smiled smugly as his iPod boomed out music, drowning out Kamisama's voice.

"I can't hear you...I can't hear youuuu..."

Just then, Rinrei crashed in, pulling a struggling Homura behind her.

"Everybody, shut up! Our birthday boy's about to wake up!"

Kamisama stopped his singing and squealed like a girl. "SANZO-CHAN!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: There you are! I love making Kamisama so gay-ish. Any suggestions on the activities for Sanzo's b-day? I really have no idea right now. O.O R/R!
