UNDER THE WEATHER
Chapter Seven: Hiro Shugara
By: A2
A/N: Banri appears in Vol. 2 (I think) and either in the manga or anime, his relationship with Gojyo is hinted to be a bit more than friendly, so keep in mind that he isn’t an OC (for those of you who don’t remember him), and I’m not spinning fictional webs with Minekura’s characters. Gojyo isn’t gay (Well, it hasn’t been proven either way yet), and neither is Banri. Sorry yaoi fans! And for those who don’t remember, the spider-lady was the second assassin sent to kill the Sanzo party. Sanzo refers to her as a wrinkly old hag and she constantly forgets to wear a shirt, if that rings a bell.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Saiyuki. I own the OC’s, except for Kintora, who belongs to NeonPink2011. Author 1 and Colorfulbubble12 are my editors.
“Hakkai! How much longer do I have to sit in this goddamn car? Sorry, Jeep, I didn’t mean it.” Gojyo says sheepishly to the car, ineptly patting the armrest. Hakkai chuckles and looks over at his roommate and best friend.
“We had to drive 24 hours straight at some points of the journey, for three years, and you’re bothered by a five hour trip through lush grasslands and forests? I’m disappointed.” Hakkai says. Gojyo groans.
“I’m out of cigarettes! It’d be fine if I had some beautiful cigarettes…” Gojyo whimpers pathetically. Hakkai’s face turns serious.
“Gojyo, why were Chintose’s eyes red? Did you make him cry?” Hakkaki asks. Gojyo shifts in his seat.
“I dunno…” He mutters. Hakkai grins evilly.
“Gojyo, tell me what happened.” He says.
Crossing his arms, Gojyo replies, “I asked him if he wanted to come to the fancy brothel with me for the discount, he freaked out and ran away like I was some dark omen, and when I nicely pinned him against the wall and explained the situation, he started sobbing and trying to rip me to shreds.” Gojyo absentmindedly picks at his nails as Hakkai mulls over his answer.
“I was right, then. Chintose is from Wuhan.” Hakkai says with finality. Gojyo raises an eyebrow.
“Now it’s your turn to tell a story, ‘Kai. Spit it out.” He says. Hakkai nods.
“When we went to Wuhan to find Kaori- the girl who stole the statue- Chintose hid his hair before going into town. He seemed to know his way around, heading straight for the dumps where we found Kaori. When a drunk was kicked out of a bar, he practically ran to get away and was absolutely dizzy and nauseated by the sight. The drunk man yelled something about his sister paying the tab, and the bartender replied saying that ‘Chintose’ left a year ago. Chintose did say she arrived at the temple a year ago.” Hakkai says. Gojyo whistles.
“It fits- except that Chintose is a guy; girls aren’t allowed in temples. And he doesn’t have boobs.” Gojyo says. Hakkai rolls his eyes.
