Gensomaden Saiyuki Fan Fiction ❯ The Calling ❯ Chapter 8

 

Damned diadem. Why can't it stay on his head like it's supposed to? I guess it's my fault. I had only wanted to try a new position and the damned thing fell on the ground. By the time I picked it up, the monkey had already undergone his transformation. Let me tell you something. Standing naked with a berserk Goku in front of you is not a comforting feeling. The way he looked at me with those eyes....

"Goku stop it! Stop it right now, you dumbass ape," I said as he licked his lips. Great. I really hate when he gets like this.

The last time he did it was at the monastery and the damned thing fell off his head during the night. My arm still hurts a bit from where he cut me with his claws. Why is it then that the thing falls off? I suppose it's better that he hurts me than some innocent bystander. Man...I'd feel a lot better if I had my clothes on. I know it doesn't really make a difference with Goku but at least I wouldn't feel so stupid.

"You want to act this way, fine. Come over here and get me, then."

He jumped, a movement so fast that I could barely see it. I winced in pain when he struck me. I swiftly overcame my pain and grabbed his head and placed the damned diadem on his head. I watched as the monster that Goku turns into fade away as Goku fell limp in my arms. The changing forms always seemed to be exhausting for him for he always fell asleep afterwards. I brought a hand to my chest then drew it back in pain. Blood. The damned ape had injured me again. I suppose I should be glad that he didn't hit me any lower, considering we were both in the nude but...it still really hurts. I glanced at Goku and frowned.

"Stop grinning like an idiot," I said and smacked him on the head.
********************************************
Man, why does my head hurt so much? What happened last night? I gazed up at Sanzo, who was putting his shirt on and stared at the cut on his chest. Damn...did I do that? I bet that's why my head hurts. I wish he wouldn't do this. I already feel so bad for this.

"Would you get dressed, Goku?" Sanzo asked and I lowered my eyes.

"I'm sorry, Sanzo. I don't know what happened...." I said and he threw me my shirt.

"Shut up. Just get dressed. We need to tell Gojyo the news."

"Why?"

"Goku, believe me, I'd rather leave without telling him, but I think it's my duty to. I am a priest."

"Well yeah, I know that. You're different from all the other priests too."

"What do you mean?"

"You're young. I mean, all the other priests I've seen are old. I am glad, that you're not, though. I like people that are close to my age."

"Where are you going with this conversation?"

"I don't know...."

"Then get dressed."

"All right, all right. Don't smack me again."

"Hurry up then."

"Thanks for everything, Sanzo."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"For saving me and everything."

His eyebrow twitched for a moment and I thought the worst. Great now he's really pissed. Then he folded his arms and turned away. I put on my pants then picked up my shirt. I was only trying to be nice. Why does he get so cold at times? I put my boots on then picked up my weapon. Sanzo glanced at me for a second them began walking.

"Let's go."
***************************************
Damn. This bites. I wish I could have done something to stop all this. I shoulda just kept hiding him. Damned priest and his pet. Why the hell did they have to show up? Speak of the devil...that's kinda funny considering he's a priest and all....Anyways, blonde, thin, and trigger happy walked up to me and I looked at him.

"So spit it out. What happened to him?" I asked and the priest looked at me.

"Cho Gonou is dead," he replied and I stared at him. "I could do nothing to change their decision."

"What?! And you call yourself a priest. Where the hell do you get off...."

"Calm down. It is against the will of Buddha to take life. You should know that."

"My and what's going on here? I give you my apologies for frightening you like that, Sha Gojyo," a familiar voice said and I stared at Gonou.

"What the...?! But you said...."

"Priest Sanzo was able to convince the jury to drop my old name and adopt a new one."

"So what's your new name?" the monkey asked and he grinned.

"Hakkai," he replied. "Cho Hakkai."

"Hakkai. Yeah. I like that better than your old one. I can remember it easier."

"You can't remember your own name, you ape."

"Can so!"

"What is it then?"

"Goku and I can remember Hakkai's name too. Hakkai, Hakkai, Hakkai, Hakkai, Hakkai, Hakkai, Hakkai, Hakkai!"

"Now here's a question for you. How many times did Goku say my name?" Hakkai asked and the priest folded his arms.

"Hakkai," he replied and Hakkai grinned.

"Bingo!"

Damn I sure walked into that one. Hakkai when translated means eight and Goku said his name about eight times. Geez....okay I've had my fun and the guy I wanted to help is alive. My day is almost complete. All I've gotta do now is find a babe and get my satisfaction for the night.

"Where are you going?" the monkey's keeper asked and I looked at him.

"Actually, great keeper of the ape, I'm going hunting," I replied.

"We're not through yet."

"Excuse me?"

"The darkness. I'm sure you've felt it. I've got to go to the west and find out what's going on."

"Hope you have fun. I'm going to find myself a woman...adventure right here in this town."

"You're coming with us."

"What? What if I don't want to go?"

I heard the click of his gun near the back of my head and glanced at him. He was pretty damned serious.

"Well, it looks like my schedule just opened up. When do we leave?"

"Well, I believe we need to get some provisions first so perhaps in an hour or two?" Hakkai inquired and I nodded my head.

"All right. That gives me enough time to say goodbye. I'll see you guys soon."

"Sanzo...." the monkey said and his master looked at him.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"Guess it was time to move on anyway. There's lots of babes out there I haven't seen yet," I said as I walked way from the motley crew that I would soon be joining.
