DISCLAIMER: I do not own Saiyuki, and I never will.
It was morning. Unfortunately, no one got a bit of sleep. Goujo and Goku had to share a bed, Sanzo gave the other to Lilian, but she refused, and slept on the windowsill. He then slept on the other bed, while Hakkai slept on the floor. Well, Lilian and Goku were the only one's that got sleep. Goku snored loudly, and Lilian was a deep sleeper, so they slept on, while Sanzo thought of ways to shut him up. However, it was futile.
Everyone, except Goku and Lilian, woke up grumpy. Even Hakkai. They packed their things, and got in the Jeep. Now that Lilian was on board, they had to squeeze into the backseat. But Lilian was slim, and half of her was on top of Goku's lap. He didn't realize until the road got bumpy. They blushed the entire way, not being able to say anything. By the time they got to the next town, Goku and Lilian were the color of bloody beets.
"I'm so glad we're here," she said abruptly, and Goku nodded. Then something weird happened. They both looked at Sanzo, rubbed their stomachs and said, "Sanzo, I'm hungry...can we get something to eat?" Everyone looked at the two of them, and sighed. It was like having two Goku's... except one had boobs. Goujo, realizing this, gawked at them. "Oh jeez," he said, beginning to walk to a tavern. "I'll see you guys later." Hakkai waved at them and said goodbye. "I'll stay with him, and make sure he doesn't make a fool of himself again." He walked in the same direction as Goujo, and they went into the tavern. "Guess that leaves me with you guys," he said, taking out a credit card from his pocket. "Let's go eat,"
After eating, they all went and got two rooms at the inn. "I'm getting a room all to myself? That's not fair. Please, let me share with someone else." Her eyes caught Goku's and they both blushed. "Fine, you'll room with Goku then. I don't trust Goujo, and Hakkai doesn't snore." He pointed out where their room was, and he went into his.
They arrived at the room, and Goku went straight to the bathroom. Lilian put her bag down. "Damn. I forgot to ask Sanzo for some money. I needed to buy some... err...necessities." She looked in her bag to see what she was missing. Goku had gone to the bathroom, and when he came back out he heard Lilian muttering "Panties..." He looked at her and she turned around. "I don't have any panties," she muttered, closed her bag. "I only have the pair I'm wearing." She blushed even harder because she though she was talking to herself, until she saw Goku standing in front of her. "Sorry, I thought you were still in the bathroom. I need to ask Sanzo for money...I need to buy some things." He looked at her. "I'll come with."
They both walked over to the room where Sanzo was in and knocked on the door. They heard a mutter, meaning they could go in. Lilian then explained her problem. "Fine," he said, handing her the golden card. "Just buy what you need." He nodded towards Goku. "Go with her, we don't want whatever attacked her family to come back and try to hurt her." They both left the room and left the inn.
They found a ladies store that sold, well, ladies things. Afraid of what might be inside, Goku stayed behind. "I don't want to be alone in there, Goku." She smiled at him, and he gave up. He was so afraid of what was in there.
They walked around, while she picked up a few things, like panties, bras, and the like. The whole time, women shoppers stared at Goku and Lilian, wondering why the heck he was in this shop. Then it happened. "Goku, can you pay for this while I go try this on?" She pointed to an outfit. "Sh-sure" was all that he could muster. He walked for what it seemed hours, and it was very embarrassing when the lady looked at him, and then at the clothes. "Are these for you, sir?" she asked. He blurted out "THEY ARE FOR MY GIRLFRIEND!" he stared back at her, grabbed the card and the bag, and ran back to where Lilian was. She walked out of the dressing room, wearing a tank top and a skirt. He looked at her, and if it were possible, turned even redder. They paid for the outfit, and left the store, walking back to the inn.
Back at their room, Goku sat down and started eating a riceball Lilian bought him outside in the street. "I'm going to take a bath, ok?" She looked at him, grabbed a towel, and went into the bathroom. She undressed and went into the shower. While bathing, she heard a noise. "Goku... is that you?" However, Goku was dead sleep on his bed. She heard the window open. "Goku, stop kidding around...is that you?" She stuck her head out and saw that it was Goku... in front of her.
He looked angry. He grabbed her and pushed her down on the floor, sniffing her neck and feeling her stomach. She tried to scream, but he covered her mouth. All she could do was cry.
Goku woke up from his sleep, and saw that water was seeping through the bathroom door. "What's that?" He then smelled blood and screamed Sanzo's name. He came running in, gun in hand. Goku broke the door down, and looked inside. It was like a bad dream... he saw himself on top of a very naked Lilian, scratching her stomach as if he were looking for something. Sanzo aimed for Goku's head and shot. After the smoke cleared, they saw a mahjong piece on Lilian's body. It read 'SEEKER'. When realizing that Lilian was naked, Goku ran and got a towel and covered her. She opened her eyes and screamed. "Get off of me!" She covered herself and ran behind Sanzo. Goku looked sad. "That wasn't me...you know I'd never hurt you."
Even though Lilian believed that the Goku that attacked her wasn't the one that she knew, she still couldn't get the image of him hurting her.
They were camped out under the stars for the third time this month. Lilian was already used to it... she didn't mind sleeping on the ground. 'It's been a month already," she said, remembering. She sat up and crawled over to Sanzo. "Sanzo, eh, Sanzo...". He turned over and looked at her. "What is it?" he asked, looking at her. "Remember that night when you told me that you found an earring and a necklace? Can I see them?" she whispered, making sure she woke no one up. He nodded and took an envelope out of his pocket. He passed it to her. She took out the earring and looked at it. "One of the demons had this earring on," she said, putting it back in the envelope. She looked at the necklace next.
My mother said that my grandmother left this for me when she died; She said that on my 18th birthday, I was supposed to wear it. My birthday isn't for another two weeks though. "I'm keeping it here, if that's ok." She put the necklace in her skirt pocket and kissed Sanzo on the cheek. "Thanks, Sanzo." She went back to her sleeping bag. She turned over and leaned on Goku's back. In order to protect her, he slept next to her. She though it was cute.
