Part One: Musings

I could tell by the look in his eyes that my presence was not only welcomed but expected. Yes, it was another nameless western village and the wife ... er I mean Hakkai had decided that Goku and I should help him pick up some items, while Sanzo sulked in the room as usual, bitching about his lack of cigarettes.

I've never thought of myself as the domesticated type, yet here I am on another outing with the wife and kid. It's what I'd started thinking of these outings, but I'm not stupid enough to say it out loud to either of them or I would get the thrashing of my life.

But for all my howling, I do have to say, I generally enjoy myself. Hakkai has always been interesting company and when the monkey isn't trying to annoy me I like him well enough. He must like me too or else he wouldn't have stayed by my side when I had the flu. It was kind of sweet of him, especially since Hakkai and Sanzo were busy in town.

"MANJUU! Hakkai! Gojyo! Can we get some? Can we? Can we?" Goku screamed at us from across the courtyard of the marketplace.

I glanced over at Hakkai, who had a small smile on his face. "But it's almost time for dinner, Goku."

"You know the boy is a bottomless pit, why do you even try?" I interjected before yelling back, "Hey, if you have some money for them, get yourself some!"

"Gojyo, you know he never has money," Hakkai admonished me. "Why do YOU even try?"

"Because I like teasing the monkey," I answered before Goku ran full speed for the two of us.

"Come on Gojyo, lend me some money!" Goku asked, his golden eyes shimmering slightly followed by the pout naturally.

"To lend money would imply that I would get it back someday. You never pay me back," I continued to point out. It really wasn't a big deal. If the kid had the money I'm sure he would pay me back, and I was going to give him the money anyway, but there's no reason to make this easy for the saru.

"GOOOOJYO!" Goku whined, "You're so mean! Hakkai, lend me the money, okay? Okay?"

Hakkai smiled. "I don't know Goku, Gojyo does have a point."

"HAKKAI!!! PLEASE!"

Well I was tired of the whining. My hands fished deep into my pockets and I pulled out some coins. "Yare, yare, stop your bellyaching! Here."

"Sankyuu!" Goku yelled back to us as he ran to the merchant at full speed.

"You are too soft on him Gojyo," Hakkai cautioned.

"Yes, dear," I replied looking to see if he got the joke.

The punch to the arm told me that yes, he did get the joke. "Just for that, you're sleeping on the couch tonight," Hakkai decided to parley back.

"But sweetie," I purred in my best 'hurt husband' tone, "I didn't mean anything by it."

"Presuming I'm the wife and Goku is our child, what does that make Sanzo?" Hakkai asked while he picked through the vegetables and fruits looking for the perfect ones.

"It's obvious, isn't it?" I answered. "He's the mother-in-law."

Hakkai dropped the melon that was in his hand and burst out laughing. "You know he'd kill you if he heard you say that."

"Tell me it's not true?" I challenged. "But that's okay, I am rather attached to my 'happy little family.'"

"What's Hakuryuu then?"

"Goku's little brother. The sensible little brother."

Another laugh. Music to my ears. I loved when Hakkai laughed.

"You really are not looking to make friends."

"You saying the saru would disagree?" I laughed, because Hakkai's laughter was infectious.

"Possibly."

"Hey guys! What's so funny?" Goku asked with his mouth full, of course.

"Nothing saru," I replied. "We need to get back to the old woman before she comes after us."

"Old woman?" Goku asked confused.

"Sanzo," I supplied while Hakkai felt the need to elbow me in the ribs.

"Huh?" Goku asked, before giving up and running ahead of us back to the hotel.

"Keep that up husband, and no kiss for you," Hakkai said, continuing our private joke.

"But honey..." I whined, watching my friend snicker. "Not even a little one?"

Hakkai stopped walking and turned to me. He moved very close to me. Closer than necessary. I couldn't understand why my heart was racing and my breath quickening. "Would you like a kiss, Gojyo?" he asked with a sultry voice I hadn't heard before.

I can't believe I felt this damn nervous. But bravado, or stupidity, you make the call, won out.

"Lay one on me Hakkai," I purred with as much silk as my voice would allow without the help of a cigarette.

Hakkai moved even closer. Only the bags in his hands is preventing the space between us to become any narrower. Green eyes looked right through me as he leaned even more, the groceries were pressed into my chest. His head was tilted to the side, his eyes starting to close.

I was starting to get hard and his lips haven't even touched me yet, so I began to lean towards him to help.

His hand moved over my lips and he kissed the hand he held over my mouth. "I think you should carry the groceries, husband," he said with a devious smile.

Psyched. By Hakkai of all people.

"You are truly an evil wench," I retorted.

"Maybe," he smiled, "But as you said yourself, you are attached to your happy little family." He walked away to catch up to Goku, leaving me to deal with the sacks and sacks of groceries.

Of course, he's right. I am very attached to my family. I wouldn't trade them (even the mother-in-law) for anything in the world.
