As Sanzo and Hakkai were walking to where Goku and Gojyo were, they noticed the yelling and the sudden stop in volume.
"Go'yo, Go'u wha you figh'ing abou now?" Hakkai asked, prepared for the worst situation, and for Sanzo to blow a fuse.
"Nothing." Gojyo replied with a completely straight face. "So, what's our 22 on the Inn?"
"We 'er goin' 'o s'ay he'e fo' tonigh'." Hakkai verified for Sanzo, who was looking off into space and daydreaming, probably about that indoor private bath.
"What? Really? WOOHOO, YEAH!" Goku and Gojyo were both very excited, the good news driving Goku's bad right out of his mind, and being forgotten completely.
"Bath…...heated bath…...ohhhhh yeahhh…"Sanzo was still thinking about the bath, letting out some pretty sinful moans that should not have been heard, period, let alone from a Sanzo priest.
"Go'u, Go'yo, i' you don' mind, emp'y ou' 'he ba' o' Ha'uruu, an' follow me 'o our rooms." Hakkai wanted to lay down and relax, hopefully get rid of this stupid fucking cold so he could talk normally again.
"Ok!" They both agreed without argument. They knew the sooner they got the stuff in the rooms, the sooner they would be able to have fun and relax, and they wouldn't get yelled at for being 'Lazy-ass bitches who don't know how to help out around the group or carry their own weight even though they were being transported for free' or shot at (both by Sanzo, of course).
As they were taking things out of Hakuruu, cans of spinach and tomatoes, potatoes in bags with meat buns in packages and salted meat wrapped in newspaper and placed inside a cooler, Goku had the feeling he was forgetting something very distressing. It was important, Goku thought. Really important. Something I couldn't tell Sanzo or Hakkai, and it was horrible. Oh well, if I forgot about it, maybe it wasn't so bad. He shrugged while walking inside the Inn, following Hakkai and Sanzo, who was carrying his Marlboros and humming softly to himself about killing demons and taking baths while reading in peace and quiet. Gojyo was following behind them, carrying twice as much as Goku just to piss him off about his height.
"Hakkai, are we there yeeeeeet?" Goku asked, a little freaked out about the looks of utter amusement Gojyo was giving him.
"Jus' a few mo'e minu'es, Go'u, an' we'll be 'here."Hakkai said cheerfully. "Oh, an' when we ge' 'here, jus' pu' 'he s'uff in a room an' i'll organize i' la'er. Af'er 'hat, ple'e, don' bo'her me." He pleaded with the group. "I wan' 'o ge' ri' of 'his s'upi' ass col', an' tal' fu'in' normally."
Goku was shocked. Hakkai did curse sometimes, but he never said 'fuck'. EVER. Gojyo was just as shocked, but not really worried. Sure, Hakkai had never said 'fuck' before, but it was just pure frustration at the cold that made him say it this time, nothing else. Sanzo was not listening, living instead in his own little world where the gods weren't and didn't include the Merciful (Yeah, right….) Goddess, demons who wanted to kill him every five seconds, annoying as hell companions who would never shut the fuck up and leave him the fuck alone, and instead included Soap, Hot Water, and Relaxation.
"We'r he'e." Hakkai pointed out, turning toward the right and putting a key into a lock with a 'click'. After walking in, he opened all the doors again (Mei had closed them) and chose one. Walking into it, he smiled, sneezed, and closed the door. Sanzo picked another, walked in, got undressed besides his underwear, right in front of Gojyo and Goku with the door open, and walked to the indoor bath.
"Anyone disturbs me," low voice, a poisonous look. "And I will shoot. I will aim for your face, I won't miss, and once you are dead I will continue my bath. U-N-D-E-R-S-T-O-O-D?" He was whispering in a murderous tone, eyes full of malice, and Gojyo knew he wasn't joking. He would die if he opened that door before the priest came out. Goku was petrified. He had never seen Sanzo say something like that to him and mean it. He was not opening that door.
"Yes, sir." He said, his head down.
"Got it, shitty priest." Gojyo tried to lose the fear. It didn't go with his eyes. Sanzo growled at Gojyo before SLAM and the door was shut, the stressed out and angry priest locked inside.
"Ahh…." Goku didn't know what to do. Hakkai was locked in his room, Sanzo was locked in the bath, and he didn't feel like arguing with Gojyo. WAIT. I don't feel like arguing? What the hell did I forget, some curse or something?
"Yo, Goku. Lets just leave this stuff in Sanzo's room." Gojyo advised.
"What? Huh? Wh-wait, I heard. Uh, yeah. Ok." Goku kind of stuttered for a minute there. They left the provisions and equipment in Sanzo's room, then sat at the table across from each other, Goku trying to remember what he had forgotten, and Gojyo figuring out a plan for teasing Goku about the kiss even more.
