Title: What Goku Doesn't Know Won't Save Him from the Fan
Challenge: Mind Your Own Business





The evening forest air was crisp. There was a full moon illuminating the night. Hakkai was at the campfire, cooking dinner. Gojyo leaned back against a tree and enjoyed a smoke. They tensed for a split second when they heard someone approach then relaxed as Goku entered their campsite.

“Hakkai, Gojyo, have you seen Sanzo? He’s been gone for a while, and I can’t find him.”

“He’s probably taking his frustration out on something beside you, so don’t worry. Or do you want to know where so you can peek, ya pervert?”

“You’re the pervert, jerk!”

“I’m a pervert AND a jerk? Take that back!”

“No! It's true!”

“Oh? Prove it, ya stupid monkey.”

“I'm not stupid!”

“Prove it!”

Hakkai let them argue.

It was a good distraction for Goku. Otherwise, he would continue his search.

Hakkai knew why Sanzo stepped away: today was the anniversary of his Master’s death.

He learned this by accident the previous year.

Like this night, they were camping in a forest. Hakkai was foraging for anything to supplement their meager supplies and stumbled upon Sanzo.

* * * * *

“Don’t shoot!” Hakkai held up his hands.

Sanzo stood up, but did not stop pointing his revolver at Hakkai. “What are you doing here?”

“Looking for herbs and other plants that could refill our supplies. I didn't mean to intrude. I'm sorry.” Hakkai lowered his hands. “Sanzo, could you lower your gun, please? You’re making me nervous.”

Sanzo put away his gun and exhaled.

“This is the first time I've seen you chant, since we first met.” Hakkai remarked.

Sanzo glared at Hakkai for a moment then withdrew his lighter and a pack of cigarettes from his sleeve.

Hakkai silently watched as Sanzo lit up and took several drags.

“My Master died on this day.”

“Ah.” Hakkai turned to walk away and said over his shoulder, “I’ll keep Goku occupied so you can finish in peace.”

“Don’t bother. I'm done.”

As they walked back, Sanzo asked, “She died around now, didn't she?”

* * * * *

“Prove you’re not a perv!”

“Only after you prove you’re not stupid!”

Goku and Gojyo stopped arguing when Sanzo entered the campsite.

“Sanzo! Where have you been?”

Sanzo whacked Goku with his fan.

“None of your damn business.”

Thank you. These are all three good. I did like Sanzo remembering Kanan.

Nice! I like how Sanzo is prickly, yet still shows his own form of kindness through simple acknowledgement.
