Chapter 5

Goku eyed his companions over the breakfast table.

“Why is everybody acting so weird today? Its creeping me out,” he said over a mouthful of eggs.

“Shut up, stupid monkey,” Gojyo said.

Just for that, Goku swiped his whole plate out from under his nose.

“Give me that back, retard!” Gojyo stood up and his chair toppled over backwards.

“Not until you tell me what the hell is up with all of you!”

“It's none of your damn business. Just give me back my plate, damn it!”

“Goku,” Hakkai said tiredly, “give him back his plate.”

Sanzo's eyes were looking a little bloodshot and the fact that he wasn't yelling at the monkey himself only bespoke an impending explosion.

Goku held the plate away from Gojyo, who had come around the table to take it back. Using his superior height, he tried to outreach the monkey. Goku swung the plate away from him and ducked and the food spilled off onto the table and into Hakkai's lap.

Hakkai barely registered the mess when he saw the priest reach into his robes.

“Sanzo, no!” he grabbed at Sanzo's wrist, dropping from his chair to his knees beside Sanzo and grappled for the gun before he could aim his shot.

“Hakkai, don't interfere, son of a bitch!”

Goku and Gojyo stopped their wrestling match to stare in wonder at the other match that had broken out.

Sanzo stood and hauled his gun wielding arm, trying to dislodge Hakkai's grasp. The demon was tenacious and hung on to be dragged across the dining room floor. Giving up on the approach, Sanzo aimed the barrel at Hakkai's face.

Hakuryuu squawked and protested, perching on the now empty chair Hakkai had occupied.

Sanzo watched Hakkai's green eyes focus on the muzzle, and then shift to his own eyes. The sneer that crossed his face told Hakkai he was satisfied with Hakkai's response.

“Sanzo, if you start shooting in here, they will throw us out for sure and I don't think any of us want to go driving in the rain again.”

Sanzo hated it when Hakkai sounded more reasonable than he did.
He un-cocked the revolver (he didn't remember cocking it) and Hakkai's grip on his wrist loosed and fell. His shoulders slumped. Goku and Gojyo stared. Goku still had Gojyo's plate.

“Thank you,” Hakkai panted. For just a moment, Sanzo had a flash back to the night before. It gave him the desire to put the gun back to the demon's head. He settled for sitting back down.

The waitress was obviously afraid to return to wait on them, having witnessed the spectacle.

Everyone returned to their seats. Silence reigned for several minutes before Goku spoke again. “You still haven't told me what the hell is wrong!”

Sanzo stood, turned and left.

“Dammit, monkey, you went and pissed him off again!”

“Me! It was Hakkai this time, he grabbed Sanzo!”

“Only to stop him from shooting you!”

“Actually, I think he was just as likely to shoot you too, Gojyo,” Hakkai chimed.

“One of these days I think he just might do away with all three of us,” Gojyo mumbled.

“Naw,” Goku said, “He'd never get rid of me.”

Gojyo punched him playfully, “Your probably right for once, monkey.” He thought for a while and said, “He, monkey, your priest is getting away. Maybe you should go after him?”

Goku's eyes turned toward the door. “Yeah, he seems pissed about something.”

And Goku bounded off, yelling “Hey Sanzo, wait up!”

Hakkai watched after them a moment, holding his tea up to his mouth but not quite sipping it. “You think its such a good idea to send Goku after him like that?”

Gojyo shrugged, “Would have gone sooner or later any way. Besides, I wanted to get you alone for a moment.”

“Me? Why?”

“To talk about Sanzo behind his back- why else?”

Hakkai smiled. “Okay, but only because it does shake me up when he points that thing at me cocked.”

“Really? I thought you'd be used to it by now.”

“Ha ha, funny. I'm more used to it being pointed at you. Worrying about your skin is a little less scary than worrying about mine.”

Gojyo laughed, “Is that so?”

Hakkai giggled and smiled at him from over the rim of the cup.

“What did you want to talk about?”

Gojyo sighed and leaned back, sticking a cigarette in his mouth. The waitress hissed at him and he called out “I'm not lighting it, I just can't think without it in my mouth!”

Hakuryuu chirped an admonishment at him.

“Thats right, lets not goad the waitress.”

“Ah, shit. Hakkai, what do you think about last night?”

Hakkai shook his head, “I'm still sore, you really did hurt me a bit...”

“Hakkai, I know your not that dense!”

Hakkai smiled, “Sanzo had been acting weird for a while, more lately than usual.”

“Yeah, first he's pissed we make noise, then he's listening at our door.”

“I don't get it either. You think we should do something about it?”

Gojyo mulled that over, “I don't know, I might.”

Hakkai's eyes had a lusty look to them, “Have you caught his scent lately, I think he was lying in my bed last night.”

Gojyo looked shocked. “No! Really, you could smell him? Your nose is better than mine man.” Then Gojyo's look darkened, “Hey, I don't know if I like the sound of that.”

Hakkai laughed at him. “Why should it bother you? Its not like you don't sleep around. You could probably smell him if you didn't smoke.”

Gojyo tilted his head, sucking on his unlit cigarette, “Yeah, well, I don't fall for everyone I have sex with either, Hakkai.”

Hakkai looked at Gojyo all wide eyed and innocent, “what ever do you mean?”

Gojyo eyed him, “How many people have you slept with, Hakkai?”

Hakkai knew where it was going, “Two.”

“I rest my case.”

“I never said I fell for you.”

“No, you never did say it.”

Hakkai stared into his tea, “So you think I'll fall for Sanzo if I sleep with him?”

Gojyo reached over and chucked Hakkai in the shoulder, “Naw, I think you fell for Sanzo a long time ago.”

“So, if I did anything, you'd be upset, Gojyo?”

“Now that would just make me a hypocrite, wouldn't it?”

“Still, maybe I wouldn't mind if you wanted me to be faithful to you.”

Gojyo wasn't looking at him any more. “That would make us a couple, wouldn't it?”

“What are we now?” Hakkai was serious and Gojyo wasn't too comfortable with the turn in conversation.

He grinned sheepishly at Hakkai, the cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, “Best friends with benefits!”

Hakkai snorted. “Then I want to go after Sanzo.”

Gojyo kept the smile on his face, having learned the trick from Hakkai. A tendril of jealousy made itself known in his belly. He'd be damned if he lost his favorite lover and companion to the damned priest. He knew he was damned capable of loving and leaving Sanzo. He wasn't capable of that with Hakkai, and didn't think Hakkai was capable of that at all.

It was what their relationship was based on.

“No, I don't like the idea of you being in Sanzo's bed.”

Hakkai actually brightened. It pissed Gojyo off a little. “but I won't stop you either.”

“We don't even know for sure what Sanzo's after. We're making a lot of assumptions here.”

“You're the one who can smell him.” Gojyo had brought the topic up, but now he was feeling done with the conversation.

“You know, he let me touch him in the shower the other day.”

Hakkai looked startled. “He did? What did you do?”

Gojyo chuckled, “I put conditioner in his hair.”

“That's it? I would have thought you would have done more.”

“Sanzo is like a fickle girl, you can't push too hard or he'll run, don't push hard enough and you never get anywhere.”

“So, you're going after him, then?” Hakkai sounded disappointed and Gojyo wasn't sure if he was sad because Gojyo wanted Sanzo, or he wanted Sanzo.

“Gojyo-san?”

“What, Hakkai?”

“If you sleep with him, I won't let it come between us.”

Gojyo looked into those sad green eyes and felt a stab of guilt. “No, man, never.”

“You've never expressed an interest in someone who was so close to both of us before. It feels different.”

Gojyo moved to sit in the chair closer to his lover. He ran one hand up Hakkai's knee, careful not to be too affectionate in public. “I won't touch him if it means that much to you.”

Hakkai smiled. “So, what are we going to do about him, then?”

“I don' know. Maybe we can make a suggestion to Goku...”

Hakkai glared at Gojyo, “He'll castrate us all if you do any such thing and you know it.”

“He's only a human, what are we all so afraid of?”

“He's not just a human.”

“No, I suppose not.”

“We can't let things go on like they are.”

“If Sanzo needs to get laid, its his problem.”

“Yes, but I want him too,” Hakkai looked miserable.

“Can't we just share him?” Gojyo floated the idea.

“Gojyo! How can you say something like that so casually?”

Gojyo shrugged, “Its just the way I am.”

“Are you serious?”

“Don't look so eager, Hakkai!”

“So, what do you propose?”
