Gensomaden Saiyuki Fan Fiction ❯ The Calling ❯ Chapter 9

 

"Sanzo, does this mean that we can't do what we've been doing?" I asked once we had walked out of hearing.

"What have we been doing?" Sanzo asked and I sighed.

"You know...I mean, it used to be just the two of us going to places, sleeping together....and now we've got two more people and I don't think that bug likes the idea that we might be...."

"We just can't do it as much. I don't know what the future holds for us, but we've got to do this. You don't want everyone to suffer because of your selfishness, do you?"

"No..."

"I sure as hell hope not because I've taught you better than that. Pleasures of the flesh is illegal anyway so this journey might serve as a cleansing to both of us."

"You don't like it any more? I don't mean to hurt you when I do. I really don't."

"Shut up."

"OW! What the hell did I do this time?!"

"You talk too much. Come on. Let's go."

"We've got to wait for that perverted water sprite anyway. What's the hurry?"

"What are you wanting, Goku?"

"Well, since it's going to be awhile before we can again, can we now?"

"Can we what?"

"Sanzo....you know what I'm talking about."

"Let's see if we can find a place out of the way to do it. I don't want anyone getting ideas about us."

"Where are you two going?" Hakkai asked. Yes! I remembered his name. Hakkai is so much easier to remember than Gonow. No, that wasn't his name. Oh well. Hakkai is much easier than his name before.

"We're going to take care of a few things. We'll be back shortly," Sanzo said and Hakkai nodded his head.

"Okay. Take care, you two."

"Come on, Goku."

"Right behind you Sanzo," I said as I followed him. We walked out of the town and over to a clump of bushes. He brought me close to him and kissed me. I felt his tongue inside my mouth and closed my eyes. I know it wasn't the sort of thing that was expected of a priest but it felt so good....He moved down to my neck and I tightly grasped his hand.

"This is the last time we're going to be able to do this," Sanzo whispered in my ear and I nodded my head.

"I know. That's why I wanted to do it now. We don't know where this trip is going to take us."

"It's going to take us to the west. Eventually India, I believe. I don't know. We've just got to stop this demon uprising for the safety of everyone. You're not listening any more, are you?"

"It feels good, Sanzo. That's all I care about right now."

"You're a naughty monkey sometimes, aren't you?"

"Hey, sometimes there are more important things than food. Sanzo...."

"Not so loud. Just feel it and show me how much you like it."

Man, if I had known that the person who saved me could make me feel like this....I would have wanted to be out of prison long before I was actually freed. I still don't know exactly what he meant by a "voice" but I'm glad he saved me. He's given me so much, which is saying something because I didn't have anything to begin with. And what he's giving to me now....I don't think I'd ever get that anywhere else. I certainly wouldn't want it anywhere else. Sanzo is all I have and I don't want to lose him. Not ever.
***************************************************************** *******
Damn. I get back and the only person I've got is Hakkai. Where the hell did the other two go? I broke my plans for the evening and god knows how long all this junk is going to take. This really bites. I could have scored with a babe if I had known that Monkey Boy and Holy Man would be off doing something. What the hell could they be doing anyway?

"You look a little upset," Hakkai commented and I looked at him.

"Shut up. I'm pissed off," I replied and Hakkai raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Why?"

"Because I broke an engagement with a babe to come here and now I've got to wait for them."

"I'm sure they'll be back soon."

"Any idea where they are?"

"No."

"Damn. And what's the deal with you? You had me pretty worried back there."

"I'm sorry. I seem to have made quite a few people worry. I never meant to do that. I was just trying to get retribution for what I had done."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't worry about it. I don't make it a point to worry about others."

"What about now?"

"Now doesn't count. I just canceled some appointments because I THOUGHT I was going somewhere and I'm not. I could have been in the company of beautiful women by now."

"I'm afraid I'm a poor comparison, aren't I?" Hakkai asked and I looked at him.

"Aah, you're not all that pathetic. Hey, it looks like they're returning. Good. I was beginnin' to get restless," I said as the pale garments of the priest appeared in my line of sight. Blondie and Monkey Boy sure took their sweet time doing whatever it was they were doing.

"Monkey Boy looks a little tired too. Makes a guy suspicious, if you know what I mean."

"I'm afraid I don't quite follow you," Hakkai said and I lit a cigarette.

"Well then I'm not spelling it out. So, you guys ready?"

"We gave you time to take care of business, didn't we?" the priest asked and I looked at him.

"Yeah, you gave me that. I guess I should thank you but I won't," I replied and he shrugged his shoulders.

"Do as you like."

"So what were you doing, dumb ass?"

"None of your business!" Goku cried.

"All right, all right. Geez," I said and the priest folded his arms.

"Let's go," he said.
**********************************
And so we set off in the car. Jeep. Dragon. Whatever it is. I really don't like the fact that Sanzo and I can't do as many things as we used to any more but it looks like we're going on an adventure. I do wish we could have left the cockroach behind. All he's done is pick on me and that's annoying. Maybe he likes me too but if that's true then why wouldn't he have understood the way me and Sanzo acted together.

"What's the matter with you, Monkey Boy? If you think too hard, your brain might short circuit," Gojyo said and I glared at him.

"Would you shut up you stringy-haired cockroach?! It ain't none of your business what I'm thinking about!"

"Are you thinking dirty stuff? You're not old enough to be doing that."

"Would you leave me alone?"

"Oh I'm sowwy Goku. Look I really am."

"Stop making fun of me!"

"Would you two shut the hell up?!" Sanzo cried and I winced when his fan made contact with my head. You'd think I'd be used to it by now but I'm not. Also, his hitting seems to have become more forceful...

"Ow! Hey it's not my fault! If he would have just left me alone, none of this would have happened!" I cried.

"Goku..."

"Yeah, Sanzo?"

"You talk too much."

"But Sanzo..."

"Shut up, Goku."

Man. This isn't fair. With these other guys around he's become meaner than normal. I bet I'll get ignored. I bet I won't get treated like I used to. Why did he have to go and listen to those floating head thingies anyway? Why would you believe a floating head? Oh well. At least we're going on an adventure and...and once this is all over, maybe I'll get rewarded. Maybe Sanzo will really take care of me. Just like he used to. I sure hope so. Boy, I sure am hungry. I wonder when we'll get to eat.

"Sanzo..."

"Now what?" Sanzo asked, annoyance in his voice.

"Can we eat?" I asked and Sanzo glanced back at me.

"You just ate before we left. How can you be hungry again?"

"I don't know but I am."

"You're going to have to wait."

"How long?"

"Well Goku, I'm afraid the next town is quite a distance. You're going to have to wait at least...fifty miles according to the map," Hakkai said.

"Fifty miles?! I don't think I can wait that long!" I cried and Gojyo laughed.

"We're gonna have a dead monkey on our hands soon. Oh well. That leaves more room for me in the back."

"What?! Take that back, you kappa!"

"Pretty loud voice for someone who's gonna die."

"Shut up!"

"Do you two want to get where we're going in one piece of pieces?" Sanzo growled. "It's your choice."

Man, his temper is worse now than normal. I'll be glad when this is all over and we can get back to being just us. I don't know what this trip will bring but I don't think it'll bring togetherness.
