FEAR
Sanzo had more than enough of this. Since they have returned to Chang'an the monks were all "great Sanzo-sama" with him and disgust stare with his companion of travel. It was not so hard for Gojyo and Hakkai who lived far away from the temple. But it was not the case for Goku. The young man had chose to stay by his side much to the secret joy of the monk, because he can't imagine his life without the monkey in it. That's why it angered it so much to hear the monks belittle his friend like this. The monkey don't wanted to hurt them and so he let them do what they wanted. He had to do something !
After a few days at thinking about it, Sanzo found the perfect solution. He quickly wrote a letter and go with Goku to Hakkai and Gojyo's house. Here, when Hakkai and Goku were busy to make the meal, Sanzo give to letter to Gojyo. After that he settle to his place ans wait for the dinner to be ready. He watched with a smile how Goku was following Hakkai's instruction about cooking. And deep inside he agree that Goku had become a good cook, not that he would say it aloud. The dinner was nice and when they returned to the temple Goku can't help to notice that Sanzo had a satisfied smile, but he know better that ask about the reason of it. There is no reason to make the fan reappeared again after so long.
A few weeks later, all of the monks were worried because the yokai prince koukaiji had come and attack them. None of the monk were a match for the strength of the prince and they were well aware of it. And the great Sanzo-sama was nowhere to be found. They resigned themselves to die when they heard something very unexpected.
" Koukaiji ? What are you doing here ?" Asked a stunned Goku who had returned from some errant sanzo had give him to the town.
" Goku. I'm here to pay my debt." Said the yokai's prince.
Goku take his purchase in a safe place and then he go to the prince with a smirk on his face.
" Great ! Let's go then."
The battle was one of the one the monks would never forget. The yokai who was so powerful don't seem to be able to escape the monkey's punch. Of course the monkey was hit too but it looked like if these powerful punch were no more than soft caress to him. The monks were frightened by the raw power of Goku And the last words of the prince yokai frightened them even more.
" Next time." Said the prince. " I will win and make you pay for destroying my father, the great Gyumao."
Goku only smirked at that and told him that he gladly fight him again. Then he go to retrieve his purchase. Some item fall to the ground and one of the monk go and take them.
" Let me help you with this Goku-sama." He said with his frightened voice.
" Thank you." Smiled kindly Goku.
In his hiding place Sanzo let a full smile grace his lips. " Mission accomplished" He thought.
End.
