"To bear LOVEwith its boundaries"

Chapter 2: The Angry Monk

The morning sun began to rise. Everyone woke up from their nights sleep except the two lovers whom have been busy through it.

"Ch… That baka!" Sanzo cursed as he fixed his clothes on himself, it seemed that he was more grumpy than the usual because of last night. When the monk was done, he turned to the door and left the room. As he took the stairs down he heard Goku's complaints like the usual way every morning.

"Neh… Hakkai… I'm Huunnggrryyy!" he whined aloud and started to beg Hakkai with his puppy eyes style.

"Urusei! Bakasaru!" Sanzo said as he surprisingly hit Goku hard on the head with his paper fan.

"Ite… Sanzo… I'm hungry!" he starts to circle around Sanzo, begging him to feed him or he'll die of starvation.

Sanzo didn't pay attention to Goku he just stared at the redhead who was just sitting down and drinking a glass of beer. Gojyo didn't look at Sanzo; he just didn't want anything that has something to do with Sanzo in it. Slowly he took out a cig, placed it in his mouth and lit it. Gojyo just puffed smoke out while drinking his beer; he didn't care if Sanzo was even staring at him or even angry at him.

"Goku… stop messing around… I'll take ya' to the market…" Gojyo started to stand up. Before Goku could reply to him, Gojyo pulled his collar and dragged him out of the place immediately.

"Ano… that's weird… Gojyo never volunteers to get Goku something in the market… I wonder what had ever happened to him…" Hakkai shrugged his shoulders and sat down to drink his tea. Sanzo stared at the doorway where Gojyo had left with Goku.

"Ch… Baka…" he cursed under his breath and sat down beside Hakkai. He took the newspaper and started to read while Hakkai was busy drinking his tea.

"Neh… Gojyo? What's wrong?" Goku asked with a concerned look.

"It's nothing…" he said as he waved his hand at the question.

"Neh… Gojyo, have you been sleeping badly lately?" Goku asked without looking at him, his voice a little softer. Gojyo's eyes widened in shock as Goku asked that question.

"What makes you ask such a question?" Gojyo said without expressing his shocking feelings to the little demon.

"Well… lately… you've been quite restless… and sometimes… when I go to the comfort room at night… I see you going to Sanzo's room…" Goku bent his head innocently, telling Gojyo that his discovery wasn't done on purpose. Gojyo nodded his head silently. Goku stopped talking, so they went around buying some things. They went through market to market buying cig, lighter and food for the little behaved demon. Gojyo only spoke to Goku whenever he asked about what he wanted to eat. So the whole time they had less talk and more buying.

"Ch… what's taking them so long?" Sanzo complained as he placed down his newspaper.

"Yeah… it's been over an hour since they left…" Hakkai said as he took one last sip of his already cold tea.

"I think we should go get them…" Sanzo said as he stood up.

"No… they must be fine by themselves… just give them another ten minutes… and were back on the road…" Hakkai smiled lightly at the sulked face of Sanzo.

"I guess your right… ten minutes then back to the road…" Sanzo sat back down and started to light a cig. As he lit the cig, Sanzo thought to himself I wonder what has taken them so long? Their just buying stupid food for that bakasaru! Hmm…I guess Gojyo's not going to give in…maybe I should do something about this… Sanzo smiled to himself as he thought about so many things and somany plans to get Gojyo back with him.

"Goku… I think we should take a break…" Gojyo sat down on a long bench and Goku obeyed him by sitting next to him.

"Gojyo… are you angry at me?" Goku looked at him with an awfully worried look on his face. Gojyo smiled at him and messed up his hair with his hand.

"Of course not! You're just a curious bakasaru!" he said sarcastically.

"Eh? Bakasaru! You're an Erogappa!" Goku stood up and frantically pointed an accusing finger at him. His actions made Gojyo laugh aloud. Suddenly a smile started to curl up on the mouth of Goku.

"Hmm… I like it whenever you're joking around…" Goku looked at him with gladness.

"Thank you…" Gojyo said softly and stood up to walk back to the inn with Goku.

Sanzo watched the doorway with his bored lavender eyes. When he saw the fiery red eyes that looked back at him, he just turned away and muttered another curse.

"Ah… so I see that you're both back…" Hakkai approached the two young men.

"Neh! Hakkai! Can we go now?" Goku asked cheerfully.

"Yeah… cuz' the monk over there seems to be sulking…" Gojyo looked at Sanzo who simply ignored his remark.

"Okay… we can go now…" Hakkai said with a smile. Goku gleefully ran outside with Hakkai, leaving the two men.

"Well… c'mon now… you wanted to leave right?" Gojyo gestured to Sanzo.

"Ch… Urusei! I don't need you telling me to do anything…" Sanzo walked past Gojyo giving him a little shove on the shoulder.

Gojyo didn't do anything when Sanzo left; he just bent his head down and covered his face with his hair dangling around his face.

"Yep… you never need to be told…" Gojyo said in a whisper. Then he turned and left the place. Riding the car that goes to the west.
