100 Roadtrips: a Saiyuki Drabble Community

Non-Challenge: Blind Spot 1

Adrenaline pumped. His breath ragged. He ran and hid behind an overturned table. Sanzo was tired of this game of cat and mouse, and he was pissed off.

“Damn it! Where is he?” he muttered to himself.

Sweat slid down his cheek then down his neck into his collar.

He peaked around the edge and saw it: a flash of light.

“Got you!” Sanzo steadied his breath, aimed, and fired.

The next instance his laser tag alarm sounded.

Hakkai chuckled, “Got you, Sanzo.”

“Shit!”

Sanzo turned to see Hakkai standing in the one place he couldn't see from his position.

Title: Mix Up

Sanzo and Hakkai lingered at the breakfast table, finishing their respective coffee and tea. Gojyo and Goku ran off to do last minute supply shopping under penalty of a bullet between their eyes.

“Where’s Sha Gojyo?” roared an irate woman. “He deflowered my baby.”

Hakkai sighed; Sanzo snarled, “Idiot!”

The mother heard Sanzo and focused his companion. "You!" she howled as she grabbed the front of Hakkai’s shirt. "You will pay for what you did!"

"Madam, I’m not–"

She yanked Hakkai out of his chair.

Sanzo steadied his revolver on the woman. "He's not damn Gojyo; release him now!"

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.”

Challenge: Labor



Hakkai took a closer look at the expectant mother. From the fear and confusion on the girl’s face, he saw this was her first child.

Goku asked, “Hakkai, what's going on? Why did she pee on the floor?”

Sanzo hit the monkey. “Idiot.”

Hakkai chuckled. “She didn't pee, Goku; her water broke. She’s going to have a baby.”

Goku was more confused. “Isn't that the same thing?”

The monk hit the monkey a few more times.

Gojyo leaned close to Hakkai. “You know what you’re doing?”

Hakkai gave the kappa his patented smile. “Haven’t a clue.”

Sanzo muttered, “Shit.”

Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's bad. Sometimes it's just hard. This week's challenge is:
