A/N: The Saiyuki_time LJ Comm had a series of prompts based on the five (or six) senses. The one belonging to the hearing was writing haiku, that is, poetry and I didn't feel able to. But I hate leaving the set incomplete just because of that, so here's my alternative solution: a silly drabble. Hope you like it.

"Hey, Gojyo…"
"Mmm, monkey?"
Goku didn't hesitate; even if the kappa was half-asleep, he wanted to know.
"Gojyo, what's a wet sound?"
"Whatthe..!" All remnants of pleasant drowsiness fled from Gojyo at the blunt question.
"I mean, how can it be wet? Sounds are supposed to be heard, not felt, aren't they?"
Gojyo took a look at Goku's rounded, innocent face and sighed. Why him? The monkey was supposed to be older than all of them, he should be… his line of thought was suddenly interrupted by the realization: in fact, why him? Gojyo's expression slowly changed from pained to devious; then he answered with an ample grin.
"You know, Goku, that's the kind of philosophical question monks are really good at. Why don't you go ask Sanzo, eh?"
Goku's beaming face was the last thing Gojyo saw before Goku left the room and started his loud calling.
"Sanzooooo…!!"
Wrapped in some kind of self-congratulating bliss, Gojyo smiled and waited for the gunshots to start.
