Once again, in case it�s not already
painfully obvious, I don�t own them.

Mei smiled before closing the door
softly behind her, finally leaving them alone now that the food was served and
she had calmed down a bit after screaming over Sanzo fainting. Some things were
better after they had cooled down a bit, like egg rolls. But, Goku liked his
rice to be steaming hot and it wasn�t half as good when at room temperature.
That was more than enough reason to stop worrying about Sanzo being unconscious
in a bed. The monk was sleeping and so he wouldn�t yell at Goku�s lack of table
manners.

Steaming plates full of different
dishes brought up fresh from the kitchen made life worth living. They would
definitely need to order seconds, but Goku would be all right for a while. Goku looked down at the spread on the table,
so happy that he could almost forget about Sanzo collapsing only moments
ago. Who could be upset when there was this much food in front him?

Goku had only tried to get Sanzo to
eat an egg roll when the blonde had blinked once before falling out of
his chair. Goku could only stare in surprise at Sanzo being that clumsy before
he hit the floor at the same time Goku dropped the egg roll on his empty plate.
He had called out Sanzo�s name once before Hakkai and Gojyo even noticed
something was wrong with the monk.

Gojyo had ignored Mei screaming out
questions at them about why Sanzo wasn�t moving on the ground. He had picked
Sanzo up with an ease that was just as worrying as the sudden faint. Really,
Sanzo should eat more. He was way too thin, and Goku knew that
when people didn�t eat, they were cranky. That was why Sanzo yelled half the
time. Goku didn�t mind Sanzo when he was angry too much, except when blo blonde
called him stupid. That wasn�t true at all and he usually argued with Sanzo
then. That got him hit by a fan. But, why think about that when there was food
starting to cool?

�Ah! This is so perfect!� Goku cried
out helplessly at the platters in front of him. One was a home-cooked specialty
chow mien with a mix of meats. Itked ked like pork cutlets and beef strips with
a hint of shrimp as well were mixed in the thin noodles. All of his favorites
in one! Strips of carrots and green onions glistened in the chow mien, all of
it covered with a special sauce. It could be soy or teriyaki or maybe something
entirely new!

I�m. In. Heaven.

�Really, the ape always thinks with
its stomach!� Gojyo growled as Goku snapped the wooden chopsticks apart with
the usual loud grace. It was the good kind of chopsticks with pointy ends
instead of the squares ones. Those tended to splinter and ruin an entire
mouthful of food with wet chips of wood.

Hakkai sighed as he moved away from
Sanzo�s bedside. He had been there since Gojyo put Sanzo in the bed to check
the monk for any new injuries after such a heavy fall. The brunette finally
joined them at the table, looking tired and worn out. Jeep chirped anxiously,
fluttering by the man�s head and knowing something was wrong.

Hakkai worried entirely too much.
How could someone be upset when there was a large plate of vegetable fried rice
in front of him? The rice was a perfect golden brown and the small square
carrots and scallops with another kind of vegetable in it that Goku couldn�t
tell from across the table. He couldn�t wait for that to get passed
around to him!

Gojyo sighed, smoking over the round
bamboo baskets by his elbow. There might be meat buns in there. Goku hadn�t had
a good meat bun in days and days and days. He hoped it was barbequed
pork. That was his absolute favorite, but if it were another kind of
meat, he�d eat it anyway. Goku was not one to be picky when it came to anything
edible.

�Well, what do you think?� Hakkai asked
Gojyo in a soft, serious voice as he clasped his hands together with his elbows
resting on the table. Jeep chirped as he settled on Hakkai�s shoulder, noticing
that the smile was gone without a trace. Jeep crooned and waited not so
patiently for his master to start eating so the dragon could be served as well.
Except, Hakkai didn�t look happy even though he had a full bowl of white rice
on his left.

Goku looked down at his own bowl in
front of him, wondering if there was any soy sauce to put on top of his rice.
He didn�t see the usual small dish full of it that always came with egg rolls.
There wasn�t a single bottle of soy on the table, not even a shaker of salt to
flavor the dishes.

Damn.

�Can you pass the sweet and sour?�
Goku asked Hakkai, not caring if he interrupted Gojyo or not. Goku had spotted
the orange sauce glistening on a large pile of deep-fried something and
wasn�t thinking of anything else. He didn�t know what Hakkai had ordered, so it
could be pork orY
orYWell, it didn�t matter yet. It was
sweet and sour! It was hard to go wrong with that.

�Certainly,� Hakkai said, the smile
fixed back on his face to hide his worry. Goku could tell that Sanzo was
worrying the brunette with all of his fainting and constant getting in trouble
with youkai. Sanzo seemed to have a lifetime�s worth of bad luck, going through
everything except actually dying. WellY
Sanzo had almost died the evening before last, but Goku could think
about that later.

Hakkai picked up sweet and sour
platter and handed it courteously to Goku. He took it greedily and tilted the
plate so the curved edge would pour the sauce from the dish into Goku�s bowl of
rice. If he couldn�t find any soy sauce, he would find something else to use.
Plain rice was just so bori/i>t/i>to eat.

Gojyo tisked at Goku�s lack of
manners, but it was nothing compared to Sanzo yelling at him. Gojyo sighed at
the interruption before serving himself from the dish behind the steaming
bamboo baskets. The kappa had beef and broccoli in a thick, heavy brown sauce.
It looked divine in the light of the room and Goku prayed that Gojyo wouldn�t
manage to eat it all before it got around to him.

�He�s taking itY well,� Gojyo said in a way that
made Goku think he meant the exact opposite thing. Sanzo had been acting weird when
he had been awake, but Goku didn�t think Gojyo was smart enough to catch it.
Goku had been around Sanzo long enough to be able to tell what the monk was
thinkingY most of the time. Sanzo had been
looking confused the whole time, lost as Gojyo and Hakkai talked to each other
like they were the only people in the room.

�Sanzo�s tough, butY but this?� Hakkai was having
trouble finding the words. He sat down the bowl of plain white rice without
taking a single bite. Hopefully he was just saving the rice for later.
Casually, Hakkai served himselveryvery small amount of the vegetable fried rice
before handing it over to Gojyo. It wasn�t enough to feed both him and Jeep who
was looking down in distinct disappointment at the miniscule servings on Hakkai�s
plate.

Not only Sanzo, but also now Hakkai
didn�t feel like eating either. This was probably why they were both so easily
depressed all the time. Goku didn�t like it all, but he didn�t say anything. It
could be that just tonight Hakkai didn�t feel like eating. Goku had seen the
brunette eat with a usual, healthy appetite before. Sanzo only ate when he
finally couldn�t even stand upright from the hunger.

A cloud of smoke curved around Gojyo�s
face as he looked up curiously at the offered plate. Hakkai smiled and waited
for him to take the dish as Jeep flapped its wings and left Hakkai�s shoulder
to make a lazily circle above the table. Goku hunched over his food
protectively, eyeing the white dragon warily. Jeep was not going to
steal any food from Goku�s plate tonight!

�I don�t think he remembers. I didn�t
see it in his eyes,� Gojyo declared as he accepted the fried rice from Hakkai.
The kappa served himself a liberal portion before putting the dish on the table
without even asking Goku if he wanted any. Gojyo was rude, but at least he
still had a healthy appetite. However, it was threatening to devour half the
food. Goku still hadn�t even started to eat yet!

�Sanzo wasn�t awake yet,� Goku
explained to them as he handed the sweet and sour to Gojyo. Goku was nicer than
other people when it came to food, after he had served himself, of
course. Gojyo took the plate irritably as he glared at Goku stirring the sweet
and sour sauce into the rice with his chopsticks. Hakkai only stared at them
and Goku�s rather observant remark in silence while Jeep landed on the table in
front the empty chair next to Gojyo.

Goku took an experimental first bite
of his rice as Hakkai served himself some of the mixed meat chow mien. It wasn�t
bad with the sweetness coating the usual taste of rice. Maybe with a little soy
sauce or salt to add a bitterness that would make it even better. But, since
they didn�t have those condiments at the table, Goku would have to make
due.

Jeep shot out and snapped large
mouthful of beef and broccoli from Gojyo�s plate in between small little teeth.
Gojyo yelled and tried to hit the little dragon that was already flapping a
safe distance out of the kappa�s range. Jeep fluttered safely to the back of
Hakkai�s chair, chewing and purring with contentment as the dragon finished off
its stolen meal.

�Damn dragon. He needdamndamn cage,
Hakkai!� Gojyo yelled as he shook a fist at Jeep who swallowed loudly. Hakkai
only chuckled at Gojyo�s anger as he passed the chow mien to Goku. Goku took it
eagerly and served up a large amount on his plate next to the sweet and
sour. He had enough room left on his plate for one more dish, and then it would
be time to start eating.

�Don�t be so mad, Gojyo. He�s hungry
too,� Hakkai admonished Gojyo as he turned in his seat to pet Jeep on the neck.
Gojyo snarled something not complimentary and took the finished cigarette
moodily out of his mouth. The kappa stabbed it out on the white tablecloth next
to the pile of ashes from Sanzo�s earlier smoking.

Goku offered the chow mien to Gojyo,
who took it with a growled �thanks.� Goku didn�t think the man really meant it.
Jeep was looking quite happy with himself, saving Hakkai from sharing the
painfully small serving on its master�s plate. Jeep had pissed off Gojyo too.
Amazing how smart that little dragon could be sometimes.

Hakkai held up a cubed carrot from
the fried rice in his chopsticks and Jeep snatched it eagerly now that the
little dragon was done with what he had stolen from Gojyo�s plate. Jeep
probably was still hungry from the mad dash they had done only the night before
last with Sanzo dying in the backseat.

But that was something that Goku
shouldn�t think about now. He couldn�t change what had already happened. So,
Goku opened up one of the steamed baskets instead of thinking sad thoughts and
paying attention to Gojyo and Hakkai�s sour attitudes. Goku peeked under the
lid to see four round, steaming white buns sitting there. Four cuts in the top
had been pinched together to form teardrop-shaped buns that still had small
beads of water from the steam.
