Butterfly
0 ReviewsGoku finds a butterfly.
"Sanzo!" Goku waited a little while and when he did not hear any footsteps approaching he called again. "Sanzo!"
Sanzo hoped that if he kept quiet the chibi would just spontaneously decide to follow his example and keep quiet as well, no such luck.
"Sanzo!" The chibi's voice was heard once again.
As hard as Sanzo tried to ignore him, he simply couldn't. As much as he tried to focus on his reading and block out all other sounds he found it to be impossible.
"Sanzo!" The monkey clearly wasn't going to give up any time soon.
Sanzo folded his newspaper and placed it on the desk. Didn't the boy know he was working? Ok, so he wasn't working, he was reading the newspaper during his working hours but that was not the point, the point was that he was occupied and didn't have time for the chibi saru's nonsense.
"Sanzo!"
"What?" Maybe it was something small, something that could be answered from his desk. It made him wonder why Goku didn't just go over there instead of calling out to him.
"There's an animal in your room!" Goku's voice replied.
Sanzo bolted out of his chair. It better not be that stray dog that liked to visit the temple every now and then, or worse yet a cat. Then again the cat would probably be cleaner than that dog that liked to jump in mud puddles. What ever animal it was, he certainly didn't want it in his room. Why was the chibi saru there in the first place?
"San-ouch!" Goku calling was interrupted by a hit to the head from he mighty Harisen.
"Baka saru! If there's an animal in my room instead of standing there calling me get it out!" Sanzo yelled. He looked around the room and found no signs of the supposed animal. "Where is it?"
Goku rubbed his head. "Where is what?" He innocently asked.
"The animal baka saru, where is the animal you said was in my room?" Sanzo repeated his question impatiently.
"Oh! There it is!" Goku pointed at a little butterfly that was perched on Sanzo lamp.
"That's not an animal, that's a bug" Sanzo said.
Goku blinked and with an obvious look he replied. "Bugs are animals." With that said he proceeded to do the thing he came to do and exchanged the old flowers for new ones on the little base that was next to the lamp where the butterfly sat. The little orange butterfly then moved to stand on the fresh flowers Goku had brought. "I think the butterfly likes the flowers." There was a pause and then "ow! Why did you do that for?" The Harisen unleashed its wrath again.
Sanzo walked off muttering something about a smarty baka saru and did not directly reply to Goku's question.
"Never try to play the smarty pants with us, such reactions run in the family" Kanzeon mused.
