New Beginings

Chapter 3

As Sanzo was in the kitchen cleaning Goku's mess he made a few hours, Goku was in the bedroom where Sanzo left him. He sat on the bed thinking on how he could learn how to cook so he wouldn't have to repeat his disaster again. Suddenly a thought came to him, he then got off the bed and walked over to the window and slowly opened it as to let Sanzo know that he was trying to escape. So with one last look at the room and listening for any sounds of Sanzo coming, when there was none he jumped out and ran down the road towards a very familiar house.

"Man that monkey is so in for it later I swear it."

Sanzo said to himself as he cleaned up the last part of the kitchen and put the cleaning tools away. He then went over to the stove and put a pot of water on to make some tea. As sat down at the table to read the paper and wait for his tea to be done he felt something strange. But as he was about to go and figure out what was bugging him his pot on the stove went off signaling that the tea was ready.

"Hmph well I guess it was nothing, oh well at least I get to drink my tea in peace for once, and I guess I should feed the monkey boy soon I hope he learned his lesson cuz if he didn't he is really in for it."

But UN noticed by the priest was that in the bedroom where a certain monkey boy was supposed to be was now gone.

Meanwhile at Hakkai and Gojyo's house, Gojyo was getting dinner ready for him and his lover when a knock came at the door. He stopped putting the last set of utensils on the table to look at the clock on the wall, which showed that it was 7:00pm and wondered who it could be. So he walked to the door as another knock came at the door. He signed once more and opened the door to reveal a very out of breath Goku leaning against the door frame trying to get his breath back.

"Goku what the hell are you doing here, I thought you went with the grumpy priest to make sure he got the sleep he was so dieing to get back to?"

"I have to talk to Hakkai is he busy?"

Goku said as he finally got his breath back and stood up straight looking at his friend. Gojyo looked back into the house to see if Hakkai was anywhere near the living room but he noticed that he wasn't, so he turned his attention back to his monkey friend and he stood aside and let him in.

"Hakkai is probably in the bathroom taking a bath so wait in the living room while I go see if he is done all right?"

Goku nodded and walked into the living room and sat on the couch he sat on early that day. He looked around the room finally taking in the way it was laid out. The room was very spacious with a long sofa against the far wall, a chair in the other corner, another smaller sofa against the wall facing the entrance to the room, and the sofa he was sitting on was next to the entrance to the hallway. The walls were painted a very light blue, which Goku liked a lot.

"This house is very nicely furnished and well painted."

"Well thanks monkey boy I thought so to when I painted it and put the furniture in."

Goku jumped at the sound of Gojyo's voice. He then looked at the man as he walked back into the kitchen and continued putting the finishing touches on dinner. Goku watched him in wonderment completely surprised that the pervy water sprite could cook. He then walked into the kitchen and waited for Gojyo to finish the dish he was putting on the plates.

"I didn't know you could cook water sprite?"

"I didn't cook this Hakkai did, I am just making sure nothing burns and putting the food on plates so it can cool off before we eat."

"Oh well is Hakkai coming out soon?"

"Yea he just finished getting out of the tub and is getting dressed, so what do you want to ask Hakkai anyway?"
