Apology
0 ReviewsSanzo would never apologize directly, but he has his own way to do it.
Apology
It had been a long day filled with battle after battle against an endless avalanche of youkai that kept popping out of nowhere. It came to the point where Goku had even asked Sanzo to look under his bed at the inn before going to sleep in case there were youkai hiding there waiting to ambush them, and there were.
"For the youkai under the influence of the minus wave every day is a 'kill the Sanzo party' day but today seems to be their world wide celebration." Even the Merciful Goddess was surprised by the merciless attacks of the day that had started even before the sun woke up. Now the sun had disappeared behind the horizon and for once in a long time the four travelers were truly exhausted. "They really need to sleep well tonight. May the Merciful Goddess grant them mercy... wait, I am the Merciful Goddess." She laughed, the day had been quite interesting like a real action movie not one of those cheap ones with a few under-practiced choreographies. "Sleep well, you've earned it."
After the battle against the last few youkai had ended, Sanzo, Goku, Hakkai and Gojyo were just about ready to collapse. Goku would have complained about hunger but he just didn't have the energy to do so. The room was spacious with four beds, two on each side. They thought it was best to stick together just in case.
Sanzo, without even taking the time to remove his robes or the sultra from his shoulders, collapsed into one of the beds, revolver still in hand. He had used more bullets in a single day than in the past month and it didn't help that Goku and Gojyo made him constantly put the Harisen to good use as well. He felt like his right arm was about to fall off. With his head buried in the pillows face first, he fell into a deep sleep instantly.
Goku fainted into the bed next to Sanzo's in a mix of exhaustion and hunger. Gojyo and Hakkai occupied the two remaining beds, Hakkai facing Sanzo and Gojyo facing Goku. Hakuryu had already fallen asleep earlier perched on Hakkai's head and continued to sleep there. The battles had been so intense even the little dragon had to do his fair share of scratching and biting in dragon form and ramming into youkai in jeep form to help the others get through the day.
Gojyo was in fact so exhausted that he didn't even have the energy to flirt with the inn owner's attractive young daughter. She went back to her room alone and with broken pride because that red haired man wouldn't even spare her a glace no matter how hard she tried. They were exhausted, truly exhausted.
Sometime during the night Sanzo rolled on his side facing left. The light of the lamp that sat on the nightstand between his and Goku's bed glared at his eyes and woke him up. It seemed no one had the energy to turn it off the previous night. Half asleep he reached over and felt around for the switch. Finally he found it at the base of the lamp and turned it off with a quiet click sound.
Click once again the light glared at him. Sanzo reached over to the lamp again and turned it off click/. A few minutes passed and that same soft /click was heard again, the light had returned. Sanzo glared daggers at Goku from his sleep deprived eyes. Was the monkey afraid of the dark or something? Click the lamp was off and it better stay off. Click it was on again.
Sanzo considered hiding under the covers to avoid the light but the temperature wasn't appropriate for that. It was one of those nights when you simply don't want to be anywhere near a blanket. He had even managed to roll down his robe in his sleep and somehow remove the long globe like clothes that covered his arms. /Click/, if that lamp didn't stay off this time, frustration would become grater than exhaustion and a certain fan would get more exercise than it did in the entire day.
/Click/, that was it! In absolute fury Sanzo jumped out of bed and hit Goku on the head with his paper fan as hard as he could.
"Ow! Sanzo why did you do that!" Goku yelped at the unpleasant awakening.
"Leave the lamp alone, I can't sleep with the light in my face!" Sanzo yelled. Of course rolling over to face the opposite direction wasn't a possibility because he was used to sleeping on that side. That's how he felt comfortable and the monkey wasn't going to ruin it for him.
"I didn't touch it I was sleeping!" Goku rubbed his head, that fan could really sting sometimes.
"Keep it down, I'm trying to sleep!" Gojyo yelled covering his head with the pillow.
"Don't lie to me!" Click the room was left in darkness. Click once again there was light. Sanzo turned his head slowly towards the lamp and there he saw a mouse.
Hakkai stumbled out of bed with a zombie like expression and Hakuryu still curled up on his head. "It's a mouse" he yawned, picked up the mouse and gently placed it on the floor outside their room, then he closed the door again. "Let's all go back to sleep, please?" Before receiving a reply he had fallen back in his bed and gone back to sleep.
"Told you it wasn't me" Goku said with the cutest pouty face.
"Just go to sleep" Sanzo replied.
"Aren't young going to say you're sorry for hitting me for no reason?" Goku asked.
"I didn't hit you that hard" Sanzo ruffled the boy's hair gently. "Your tick skull can take it."
"Apology accepted!"
"Shut up."
