Bug
The merciful Goddess, still a young teenager strolled down the semi deserted halls seeing signs of life, other than herself and her companion, only ever so occasionally. It seemed that everyone was busy with their own things today. So was she, for the young goddess had been given the task to care for her nephew Konzen who currently followed after her.
The boy looked bored, so bored it almost hurt. The young goddess stopped and so did he. It seemed that weather he walked or stood still it made no difference, either way he was bored.
She tried to think of what little boys liked to do. She had suggested a few games she liked when she was a small child but her stubborn little nephew absolutely refused to play dolls or dress up. What was the young goddess to do?
She gave it some thought and tried to analyze the situation. Perhaps the games she has suggested were too girly for his liking. Maybe if she thought of some kind of game little boys liked, but what?
She smiled as a realization came. Of course it was logical, little boys liked games that little girls didn't like. There was something that she used to particularly hate when she was a child and she still hated it. She hated when little boys played with bugs and she hated it even more when they showed her those bug. Those poor boys certainly regretted crossing her path holding insects. She was sure that even if it had been years ago they must still have the scars. Bugs were creepy but since Konzen was a little boy he would probably find them fun. She was even willing tolerate insects just to get the little guy out of his pitiful state of absolute boredom.
The entire morning little Goku had been playing outside. Sanzo was in his office, Hakkai and Gojyo were running errands and the morning air was accompanied by a silent atmosphere. All in all it was a calm and quiet day until the chibi saru returned from his play time in the yard.
"Sanzo look what I found!" Goku had a bright smile, his golden eyes shone happily and he held something in his little hands. The boy's hands were carefully cupped together and if to make sure the thing didn't fall nor get squished.
Sanzo peeked at the thing in Goku's hands, the chibi was holding a bug. Immediately the blond's first reaction was to back away against his chain.
Goku leaned across the desk bringing that freaky looking insect closer to Sanzo who of course didn't like it at all. "Isn't it cool?" His voice has a childish innocent tone as if he had no idea how much Sanzo hated insects, especially freaky looking insects with their bright red color and black spots. Goku really didn't know.
With his violet eyes opened wide and an otherwise unreadable frozen expression Sanzo reached for his paper fan and hit the chibi saru on the head. "Leave the bugs outside baka!"
"Ow! I just wanted you to see it! Hakkai always explains stuff about the kinds of bugs I show him. Gojyo doesn't mind either and this is his favorite kind of bug." Goku honestly didn't know what he had done wrong.
"Don't compare me to them!" Sanzo waved the mighty harisen in the air and in fear of facing its wrath again Goku hurried out of the office with a terrified little bug in his hands.
Moments later, after setting the tiny insect free in the garden Goku returned to Sanzo's office determined to find out exactly what he had done wrong so he could ascertain never to make the same mistake again. "Sanzo, how come you were mad at me?"
"I hate insects" Sanzo replied with an icy glare.
"But they're not scary, they're really tiny!" Goku said.
"I didn't say I was scared, I said I hate them" Sanzo said.
"How come?" Goku asked, golden eyes shining with curiosity. His expression seemed to say 'I'm not leaving you alone until you tell me'.
Sanzo paused, he wasn't sure why he hated insects so much, he just did. But the chibi saru wouldn't accept that as an answer. "Leave the bugs outside, it's were they belong, just leave them alone."
"You mean they don't like it inside? Hakkai always tells me to put them back I guess they really don't like inside. Ok, I won't bring the bugs inside anymore but can I still play tag with the butterflies outside?" Goku asked.
"Do whatever you want" Sanzo replied. Minutes after the chibi left, he saw him out the window chasing after an orange and black butterfly that was stuck being his playmate.
"Look Konzen!" Though she felt quite uncomfortable holding it, the Merciful Goddess had captured a little red bug with black spots that wandered all the way up to Heaven from the world bellow.
Konzen's violet eyes grew wide, his expression was positively terrified and his scream echoed throughout all of Heaven as he ran away at an amazing speed.
The young goddess stood there wondering what in the world had just happened. Then she grinned mischievously. "Chibi Taiyou babysitting is going to be so much fun!"
