Hakkai looks at Sanzo for the third time and sighs as he stares through the windshield. He and Sanzo have been lovers for a few weeks now and he still cannot believe his good fortune.

 

While Sanzo insists they keep it from the others, Hakkai on the other hand does not care who knows. His heart is so full he wants to shout it from the mountaintop.

 

Stealing looks at Sanzo is something he has to stop since he knows the monk may get irritated. They have to keep up appearances in front of Gojyo and Goku.

 

Gojyo and the ikkou in the back seat start up and the argument is about what they are going to eat at the next village and is getting pretty loud. Sanzo groans in the back of his throat and turns around hitting Goku and then Gojyo with his fan swiftly.

 

“If you two morons don't stop, we're leaving you by the side of the road! You're giving me a freaking headache!” He turns back facing forward and can hear Gojyo mumbling curses.

 

“Damn holier than thou monk! You need to feel how that freaking fan feels on your own head. Stinking, excuse for a monk.”

 

Sanzo turns in his seat and stares at Gojyo. “You got something to say, kappa? When you mumble, you sound like an idiot, or should I saw more like an idiot.”

 

Goku sinks down in his seat, looking from one to the other. It seems as if the two of them were arguing more than usual lately. Gojyo is always baiting Sanzo on everything he does. It's as if he's trying to pick a fight with the monk and that isn't good.

 

“I'm just saying we are not your children and you need to restrain yourself, Master Sanzo. Some day you won't have that fan will you?”

 

“You saying you can take it from me, kappa? If that's what you think…”

 

“Why don't we all relax? We will be at the next village shortly and I'm sure, all we need to do is get some food for us to feel better.” Hakkai smiles at Sanzo as he places his hand on his shoulder, patting it lightly.

 

“Yey food, I want some sukiyaki, fried rice and oh yeah some meat buns. You think they have some good food at this next village, Hakkai?” Goku is jumping up and down in his seat in the back jostling Gojyo, who is seething at the monk.

 

Sanzo looks ahead as the two argue the merits of the various foods they have had so far and which is their favorites. “When we get to town I want a cold beer more than anything. It seems like forever since I had a cold one.” He leans over behind Sanzo saying wickedly, “I bet you want one too, don't you monk?”

 

Sanzo humps under his breath and lights a cigarette. “I just want to relax and sit on something that isn't moving. Oh yeah, and not hear the two of you bitching and moaning.”

 

Gojyo growls behind him and raises his hands as if to choke him and Goku laughs. He falls back in his seat and sighs. He can never get the last word with the monk so he may as well give up. However, in the back of his mind he is thinking of various ways to get even with Sanzo.

Hakkai is registering for their rooms when Gojyo announces he is going to the local pub to have a drink. He cuts his eyes over at Sanzo, “You want to join me monk or do you want to stay here drinking tea?”

 

“Let me see, do I want to watch you get sloppy drunk while you paw some sluts or do I want to drink here in the dinning room. I'll stay here so your stink doesn't get all over me. Come on Goku let's go to the dinning room.”

 

“Food! I'm starving! I feel like I haven't eaten in days!” Goku finds a table, sits down, and call the server over.

 

Sanzo goes in shaking his head as he follows him to the table. Gojyo waits for Hakkai to finish and goes in with him. He looks over at the monk and cuts his eyes once more, “Why don't we have a drinking contest after we finish supper. We can turn it into a game.”

 

Hakkai looks at him unenthusiastically, “I don't know Gojyo, and it is rather late.” He looks at Sanzo as he stares at the kappa.

 

“What do you want to do Sanzo?” Hakkai looks from one to the other as he puts on a polite smile. The two of them have been baiting each other a lot lately. Gojyo is his best friend and Sanzo is his lover. The last thing he wants to do is take sides.

 

Gojyo laughs, “Yeah, what do you want to do your priestlyness. Since everything hinges on what the great monk decides I bow to you.” He sits back folding his arms with a smirk on his face.

 

Sanzo turns away, “Do whatever you want. I'm too old to play games so count me out.” He looks up as the server brings him his tea along with a beer for Gojyo and Hakkai.

 

The monk looks over in surprise, “When did you order that?”

 

The hanyou picks his bottle up and tilts it in his mouth. He looks over at Sanzo smiling, “When we came in, right Hakkai?” He pulls the bottle out of his mouth and swirls his tongue around the top of the opening. He smiles over at Sanzo giving him a lustful look and a wink.

 

Hakkai misses this exchange as he picks up his beer and offers it to the monk. Sanzo drags his eyes away from Gojyo and looks over at Hakkai. “You ordered it, you drink it. I'll have one after we finish eating. Besides, I can wait since I'm not an alcoholic but some people can't say the same. He looks at Gojyo over the rim of his cup.

 

Gojyo chuckles, “If I'm an alcoholic then you're a prissy-ass, pampered, pretty boy. You're too afraid to let yourself go and have fun. I should show you just what you're missing but I don't think you could stand the pleasure. You'll probably freak out and smile and you know that would crack your pretty face in two.”

 

Hakkai looks at him with his mouth wide and exclaims, “Gojyo! Watch what you're saying.” He looks at Sanzo quickly and is about to stand when he notices the smirk on the monk's face.

 

“Sanzo, are you okay?” He looks at his lover in concern.

 

“Sit down Hakkai, “I may be pampered and pretty, but I don't need any help with this ass-hole. He may have just bitten off more then he can chew.” He hasn't taken his eyes off the hanyou yet.

 

“You forgot the prissy-ass, Master Sanzo.” He takes another drink of his beer and chokes, “oomph…what the!”

 

Sanzo has hit him twice on the neck with his fan and is now sipping his tea. Gojyo grabs the side of his neck and shoots daggers at the monk as the servers bring out their food.

 

“Yey, food, let's eat!” Goku grabs a chicken leg and an egg roll stuffing them in his mouth at the same time.

 

Sanzo looks over at him in amazement, this is the first time he has seen the monkey eat with an egg roll in his mouth and bite into a chicken leg. He shakes his head as he picks up his chopsticks.

 

Gojyo glares over at him as he tries to catch his breath with Hakkai patting him on the back. “You bastard! Are you trying to kill me?!”

 

Sanzo looks at him as if he has forgotten he is at the table. He looks at the hanyou with his eyes narrowed. “Is something wrong, moron? I thought you were enjoying your beer.”

 

“This shit is not freaking funny! You need to seriously stop that shit with that damn fan. Like I told you before I don't belong to you!” He gasps for breath as he glares over at the monk.

 

Sanzo glares back and puts some of the noodles in his mouth. The kappa is always baiting him about one thing or other. The only way he can deal with him is to hit quickly and often. That seems the only way he can knock him off his keel.

 

What he really wants to do he will never admit to him or to himself. Gojyo is the one he wants to sleep with and not Hakkai. It is not that he didn't care for Hakkai because he does. There was just something he always hungered for whenever he is with Hakkai.

 

The gentleness of Hakkai left him wanting more. He didn't want to dominate. He wants to be dominated. He wants someone as intense as he is. He wants someone to makes him cry out while they take him. He wants someone to make him feel as if he is being made love to until his knees buckle and he gasps for breath. He wants someone to make him want them so badly he can taste their kisses long after they have gone.

 

Sanzo is a passionate man and that's why he walks around in anger and irritation, trying to hide his true nature from the others and the world as well. Sometimes he wants to tear the clothes off his body he gets so hot. However, he knows if the others find out the raging fire that burns within his body and soul, he will lose their respect.

 

He sits back watching Gojyo as he teases Goku by taking food off his plate. The idiot kappa, what does he know of making love to the sluts he spends his free time with. One day he is going to go with him and find out first hand just what is the big deal about bedding a woman. He immediately shakes his head and picks up his tea. He frowns, calls the server over, and tells her to bring him a beer.

 

As she walks away, he looks at her hips as they sway with her movements. He shakes his head and sighs. Maybe he won't try a woman after all. This one looks as if she has been eating too much of her own cooking. Her hips are too wide for his taste. He likes a slim tight ass with dimples on each side. He wants firm hips that he can hold on to with strong, tight, rock hard, muscles. He sighs and looks up meeting Gojyo's crimson eyes. He turns away with a slight blush on his face at being caught staring at the server's ass.

 

Gojyo says nothing and picks up what is left of his beer and downs the rest. When the woman comes back with a beer for Sanzo, he asks her to bring another for him. “I hate to keep you running beautiful, but you do look good coming and going. You don't mind do you sweetness?”

 

She giggles and says she doesn't and will bring him one right away. She goes off and he looks over at Sanzo and smirks once again. Sanzo rolls his eyes and picks up his beer taking a sip.

Sanzo steps out of the shower and putting a towel around his waist, when he hears a knock at his door. He walks over, opens it, and finds Hakkai standing on the other side. He stands back holding the doorknob, “Not tonight Hakkai. I'm tired from being in the jeep all day. Why don't we put this off until another time?”

 

Hakkai smiles, “I understand, Sanzo. I'll leave you to get some rest. Maybe I'll go to the bar and find Gojyo and see what he is up too.” He gives Sanzo a defeated smile and turns away.

 

Sanzo watches as he goes towards the steps and closes the door. “I know what that bastard is up too already. He's probably playing cards, drinking and fondling some whore. Why should tonight be any different?” He sits on the side of the bed and lights a cigarette. As he blows the smoke up at the ceiling, he wonders how Gojyo makes love. He's always bragging about how women love to be with him and how they can't get enough of him, he wonders if he is really that good.

 

He slides his hand under his towel and strokes himself, thinking he may have been a little to hasty in sending Hakkai on his way. He sits up and thinks maybe he will go to the bar, get him and bring him back. Hakkai is a good lover but he is to gentle sometimes. Not that he didn't like the pace he sets but he wants to shake things up once in awhile.

Hakkai and Gojyo are at a table in the bar gambling and drinking shots with beer chasers. There are women hanging around their necks since they are winning large amounts of money. Neither is aware that Sanzo has come in. He is not wearing his robes; he has on his black leather top and black tight jeans.

 

The monk looks over at the two of them as he goes to the bar. He orders a drink and turns in their direction watching them as they play cards. Sanzo is unaware of the looks he receives from some of the women in the bar and a few of the men. He sips on his drink as he watches one of the women lean over whispering in Hakkai's ear.

 

He snorts and turns back to the bar and orders another drink. As he is about to pay for it the bartender tells him it has been taken care of. He points to the end of the bar and Sanzo sees a woman with long sable brown hair smiling at him. He looks at her for a moment and wonders if he should accept or refuse. As this runs through his mind, she gets up and walks down the bar to join him.

Gojyo is laughing as he rakes in another pile when he notices the monk at the bar. He looks over at him talking to a woman with, rich flowing locks and he stops for a moment. `What the fuck is he doing?!' He looks at Hakkai quickly and can tell he is deeply involved with the blonde hanging around his neck. He looks back at Sanzo and sees he is trying to ease away from her and he smiles. `Now that's the Sanzo we all know and love.' He pulls his winnings in and says he is out of this game for now.

 

The kappa gets up and walks over to the bar. He slides behind Sanzo and looks at the woman over his shoulder. She is talking non-stop about how good she can make him feel, when Gojyo interrupts.

 

“It seems as if you know enough for two women, babe. However, the mon…” Sanzo glares at him, not wanting him to tell her his profession. “Excuse me, what I meant is, he's already taken.” He smiles at the young woman as it dawns on her what he means. She gets up apologizing and backing away.

 

Gojyo sits besides the monk and orders a drink. As he turns to Sanzo, he jumps back from the look in his eyes. “Whoa, I thought I was rescuing you from the big bad lady, what gives?”

 

“You baka, you just told her I belong to you!” He hisses under his breath. “I don't appreciate you taking liberties like that!” He picks up his drink and downs it. He turns back to the table and sees the blonde woman is sitting in Hakkai's lap. He turns back to the bar, Gojyo leans over, and whispers, “Are you jealous? He chuckles under his breath as he thanks the bartender for his drink.

 

Sanzo glares at him gritting his teeth, “Why the hell would I be jealous of Hakkai. I don't care what he does; it's no concern of mine.” He calls the waiter over and orders another drink. He turns his back to Gojyo and drums his fingers on the bar, wishing he had his fan with him. He wants to hit the hanyou so badly he can taste it!

 

“It never occurred to me you may care about what he does. I meant the fact he knows how to be comfortable with women and you don't. Is there something you want to tell me about you and Hakkai? I didn't know something was going on with the two of you.” He looks down at the monk with a frown on his face.

 

Sanzo looks up at him and realizes he just told the hanyou he and Hakkai is having an affair. He turns from him and sips on his drink. He is through trying to justify his being with the chi healer. He is through trying to come to terms that, what he wants is a man. A woman will never satisfy the hunger he has for raw, unbridled, love. To look at him with his cool beauty you would never think there is a passionate, sensual, fire raging under those robes.

 

He cuts his eyes at Gojyo and stares at him. The hanyou is about to bring his glass to his lips when he sees him out of the corner of his eye. He sips and puts the glass down as he smirks at the monk. “What are you staring at? You like what you see?”

 

Sanzo leans on the bar and picks up his glass. He takes a sip and leans over looking the hanyou up and down. “I don't know, I only see a baka standing in front of me. What else do you have? Is there something that might tempt me?”

 

The monk raises his glass to the bartender and he brings him his fourth shot. He looks at Gojyo with a smug smile on his face. Tilting the glass up to his lips, he chokes as the hanyou pushes the glass up, causing him to swallow quickly and jumps back. He coughs and hits his chest with the side of his fist. “What the hell…are you doing?” He looks at Gojyo with malice as he reaches forward and grabs his collar.

 

Gojyo slaps his hand away and grabs his wrist pulling him flush with his body. He hisses at Sanzo as he twists his wrist, “You need a good fucking and maybe then you will lose that, uptight, ass, attitude. Hakkai is the type to bow down to you but I won't, you stuck up bastard!” He pushes Sanzo away from him and walks back over to the table and the card game.

 

Sanzo watches as he walks away and rubs his wrist. `That fucking moron will pay for this shit! He glares at Gojyo's back wanting to run behind him and shoot him in the head or at the very least beat the shit out of him with his fan. He slumps against the bar as he looks over at his two companions. He watches as the kappa leans over and whispers in Hakkai's ear. Hakkai looks over at Sanzo and smiles nervously. He is about to get up and Sanzo shakes his head slightly. He turns back too the bar and orders another drink.

 

As he downs his drink, Hakkai walks up and puts his hand on his shoulder, “I thought you wanted to get some rest. Changed your mind?” He has a small smile on his handsome face as he strokes Sanzo's shoulder.

 

Sanzo turns, with drink in hand, “No, I started missing you and decided to come out and get you. When I got here I saw you were busy so I didn't want to disturb you and your…friend.” He sips on his drink as he looks in Hakkai's green soulful eyes.

 

“I can see how you would get the wrong impression, but she is all over everyone. She was breathing down Gojyo's neck, until I won a couple hands from him.” He smiles at Sanzo as he rubs the back of his head. “Since you came looking for me why don't we leave and go back to your room.”

 

“No, why don't I join you in that card game. I don't feel as tired as I did before.” He pushes off the bar and heads over to the card game with Hakkai following behind. He wants too pay Gojyo back and wipe the smug look out of his crimson eyes.
