The longing of two souls is about to become three!

The next morning,

"How to get your man." Hakkai's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect a trip to the bookstore to get Sanzo's newspaper could be an answer to his prayers.

He looked around to make sure no one is looking at him before he discreetly reach for the book. 'A peek wouldn't hurt,' he reasoned. He turned the book to read the back cover.

"How to get your man" is written in easy-to-follow instructions guaranteed to bring him to his knees!

He opened to the first chapter,

'Be his best buddy. Make him feel cherished. Do little things for him like pouring his coffee or picking lint off his shoulder while leaning close enough for him to smell your unique fragrance that will remind him of you.

Make contact with him by brushing your hands or shoulders together when you're walking side by side.

But make it seem like accidental and make sure it didn't happen too often because it just won't do if he gets suspicious right?'

"Excuse me, sir are you going to buy that?"

" Yes. And this too." He hand the newspaper to the salesperson, trying not to blush. Fortunately, the salesgirl was too busy noticing him to read the title of the book.

Hakkai came to knock on Sanzo's door, "Sanzo, are you alright? They're already up and having breakfast."

No reply.

"Sanzo?" he knocked again.

"Urusei!" Sanzo grumbled. Damning the green-eyed brunette for disturbing his sleep. As if he didn't disturbed him enough during the night. But, he got up anyway, knowing how persistent Hakkai could be.

Hakkai: I've ordered coffee and brought your newspaper. We'll be at table number.

Sanzo:I can hear those idiots from a mile away. I can manage.

Hakkai: Hai.

(Hakkai)

I heard Sanzo's sigh as I walked away. I wonder what is bothering Sanzo. When I went into the noisy restaurant, I saw that Gojyo and Goku are having their morning argument with their breakfast as usual.

"Try to keep it down a little, Sanzo will be down soon." But they went on, oblivious to the world until suddenly a swift movement of a paper fan marked the arrival of Genjo Sanzo.

"Good morning to you too. Got out the wrong side of the bed as usual?" Gojyo said while rubbing his throbbing head.

Sanzo just ignored him and proceed to read the newspaper Hakkai just handed to him; making sure that his hand did not touch Hakkai's.

Occasionally, sip his coffee, which was poured by Hakkai. Not that it is anything unusual.

----------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

A few days later,

Goku: Sanzo! I'm so hungry!

Sanzo: Urusei! Go to hell!

Goku: Sanzo! Hungry, so hungry!

(Sanzo)

Damn, why the hell Hakuryu isn't an automatic. His fleeting brushes are driving me mad! Just like this baka saru.

"I told you to shut up!"

Why the hell is wrong with me? I can't seem to get Hakkai out of my mind, my thoughts, and my dreams. Ok stop right there. Don't even remember what happened in your dreams last night.

'Looks like the only way to end this torturing; to end this endless nights of restless dreams is to seduce him. Take him until he is out of my system.'

Seduce him? Easier to be said than done. He is always so proper and correct.

'Except when it comes to his driving.' 'But when do you ever let anything stop you in getting your way?' his mind whispered.

"Why don't we stop for a rest? Seeing as the next town is quite a distance away." Hakkai said as he looked at Sanzo for approval.

"Hnn, Do what you like."

"Hah? You mean we have to camp again?" Goku complained.

"And here I was looking forward to spend the night with a chick." Gojyo drawled.

"Gomen, it is because I took the wrong turn. That's why we have to turn back."

"What's wrong with you, Hakkai? You seem to be taking lots of wrong turns lately." Gojyo frowned in concern.

"Nothing, I promise to be more careful. I'll go set up the tent." Hakkai hurried away before Gojyo can say another word.

(Hakkai)

Phew! That was close. But I know Gojyo would not let it go that easily.

"Hakkai, I'm going fishing. Wanna come?" Goku broke through his thoughts.

"Why don't you ask Gojyo instead?" That should give me some breathing room.

Goku: Oh, Ok! Gojyo!! Gojyo! Want to go fishing?

Gojyo: Fine, I better help you if we are ever going to catch any fish.

Goku: I know how to catch a fish!

Gojyo: Oh, yeah? Let's have a competition!

Goku: Alright! I'll beat you flat!"

(Gojyo)

I know that you sent Goku to distract me. But I'll get a straight answer from you soon.

Yeah, right! Who are you kidding? When did you ever get a straight answer to the questions he didn't want to answer?

You always put on that fake smile to distance yourself from others, from me whenever you are hurting. Three years ago, whenever you thought that I wasn't looking at you, your smile will fade.

That's why I always try to make the smile real instead of just a wall against the world. As time gone by, you perfected the technique of holding the smiling mask in place.

'Practice makes perfect' they say and you used me as the target.

Fluffy: Ok, that's it for now! Reviews much appreciated!!
