A/N: Sorry for not updating for such a long time. Haha. Didn't have the time. Okay, back with the story.
Goku got home early that day. It wasn't his shift for work. He didn't get to meet Nataku after school since his friend had some rehearsal to work on. Goku flung his bag onto the couch and went to the kitchen. He scanned through the old thing.
"Bread…Cookies…Sweets…Ah! Chips!" he grinned and grabbed the bag of chip.
He went back to the living room and sat heavily on the couch. It was then he noticed how quiet it was at home. Gojyo worked at night, so where the heck was the red haired? Goku shrugged and switched the television on. He flicked through each channel and finally gave up. Has all good shows been canceled?! He stared into space while eating his potato chips. Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
From: Nataku
Hey. Sorry couldn't go home with you today. So, are you home alone? Having a break now, so thought of messaging you.
Goku smiled a little and typed a reply.
To: Nataku
Yep. Home alone. Don't know where the perverted cockroach went to…
He waited for a while and his phone rang again.
From: Nataku
Haha. Oh, damn. Break's over. Got to go. Sorry. Message you back later.
This caused Goku to frown. Here he thought he had something to do. He gave a sigh and typed back another reply.
To: Nataku
Ah. Ok. Have fun with your rehearsal. Make sure to message me as soon as you're done with it. I'm going to die from boredom here!
After pressing the 'Send' button, Goku threw his cell phone to the side. He let out a loud groaned. He was seriously bored. He finally made up his mind and decided to go have a walk around.
After taking a shower, he took his skateboard and put on his helmet and his ever-so-cool-looking goggles. He went out of the house quickly. He was wearing a pair of black jeans with a torn piece around his left knee and a baggy shirt with a hood. He decided to do a few tricks at the park. Once there, he looked at the whole skateboard park and smiled.
"Too easy…," he smirked and jumped on his skateboard.
He took a few spin around the park until he arrived at one particular part. The Vert Ramp. It was the ramp where skateboarders could do different moves. He climbed the stairs and started to do his stuff. One by one, other skateboarders came to look at him. They were amazed.
"Hey, it's one of the Aerials move. Airwalk," one of them said.
"He did a Backflip! Woah!" another exclaimed!
"Judo Air! Cool!"
Goku could only smile when he heard those 'comments'. Soon, he came to a halt and girls were approaching him. He picked up his board and pushed his goggles upwards.
"Oh, you were so cool!"
"What's your name?"
One by one they asked him question. Goku just smiled and walk away. He didn't like too much attention. He walked through the crowd. He saw a glimpse of something at the corner of his eyes. He looked at the tree nearby and saw a guy leaning against it. He looked harder and realized it was Sanzo.
"Hey, Sanzo!" he waved and ran towards the blond.
"Cool moves, monkey. Where did you learn those?" said the violet-eyed blond.
"Oh. I had a lot of practice," a flat lie but Sanzo didn't seem to notice.
Sanzo pushed himself off of the tree. He threw his cigarette to the ground and stepped on it. He then walked off. Goku followed him from behind.
"Where are you going?" Goku asked.
"None of your business."
"Can I come along?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No. Don't you understand Japanese?"
"I do…but…I got nothing to do right now…Please???"
"Buzz off, kid!" Sanzo exclaimed while turning around and glaring at the brunette.
"My name's Goku! Why won't you let me come with?"
"Because it's a place for mature people and not kids like you," Sanzo started to walk again.
"I'm not a kid. I'm quite mature for my age, mind you!"
"Will you just shut up?!" a vein started to pop up on the blond's face.
"I'll shut up if you let me follow you!"
"…fine…But one squeak and you'll regret it!"
"Ok," Goku gave a large winning grin.
They walked in silence and soon, they stopped in front of a huge building. Goku looked at the tall building. It was so tall that it hurt his neck. He looked at Sanzo. The blond ignored him and walked towards the building.
"Woah, Sanzo…This place is huge! Do you work here?"
"Yes."
"How did you get a job here? It looks like some kind of an office building. Do they accept High School students as workers here?"
"I own this building."
"You own this whole thing?! You must be rich then!"
"So what if I am?"
"Well, nothing. It's just so cool."
"Simple-minded…," Sanzo mumbled.
"What?"
"Nothing. Didn't I tell you not to open that loud-mouth of yours?"
"Well, I was just curious."
They stopped in front of a lift. It soon opened and Sanzo stepped in. Goku was unsure whether he wanted to follow or not. Sanzo raised an eyebrow and looked at him. Didn't the kid said he wanted to follow? Why was he hesitating now?
"Well? Are you coming or not?" Sanzo said impatiently.
"Erm…well…"
"If you're not coming, fine." The elevator door slowly begins to move closer.
"Wait! Hold up!" Goku pressed the button and the door opened again. He quickly went inside and gave a deep sigh of relief.
Both of them stood in the elevator in silence. A few minutes later, the door opened and Sanzo stepped out. Goku followed quickly, not wanting to be left behind. They passed by some tables and the workers greeted Sanzo. Sanzo didn't say anything and just walked pass them. The workers looked and Goku and Goku felt really uncomfortable. He gulped and followed Sanzo closely. They then entered a large office.
A woman, dressing rather sexily, sat at the table, looking through some papers. She looked up when she heard them entering. She gave a smile to Sanzo and turned to look at Goku. Her smiled remained on her face.
"Oh, Sanzo, glad you came," she said, looking back at Sanzo.
"What is it you want, you old hag?"
"That's rude Sanzo," she frowned. "I'm your aunty, you know."
"Your aunty?!" Goku suddenly exclaimed. He then quickly covered his mouth and look at Sanzo, who was glaring at him.
"Yes, I'm his aunty. The name's Kanzeon. And who might you, little cute thing, be?" she looked at him, amused.
"I-I'm Goku. Fo-forgive my rudeness!" Goku bowed.
"Oh, I don't mind. The rude one was my nephew."
"Shut up. What do you want?" Sanzo said quickly.
"Oh, I have a lot of papers to do today, so I'm gonna be home late. Just wanted to tell you that." Kanzeon gave an innocent smile.
"Couldn't you have said it over the phone?!" Sanzo said between gritted teeth.
"Well, it's more fun this way," she gave an amused smile and look back to Goku. "And are you Sanzo's new boyfriend?"
"B-Boyfriend?!" Goku stammered.
"Don't corrupt the mind of a young child, you perverted old hag!" Sanzo exclaimed, grabbed Goku by the arm and left the office.
"Well," Kanzeon gave a little giggle. "See you guys again."
They walked passed the workers in a hurry and Goku was whining of how painful it was. Inside the elevator, Sanzo finally let the boy go and gave an irritated sigh. The woman was too much, corrupting a mind's child like that.
"Ow, Sanzo…That hurts…," Goku whined, rubbing his arm.
"It was to rescue you from that woman."
"Erm, Sanzo…what does she mean by 'new boy-!"
"Say another word and you're going home with a bump on your head," the blond cut in.
"But…"
"Don't listen to her. She's a corrupted woman."
"Oh…Okay…if you say so."
Once they arrived outside the building, Goku looked at his watch. Four-thirty. Shit! He had to go home and make dinner for Gojyo. He put on back his goggles, checked if everything's in place, and jumped on his skateboard. Gojyo was going to work early today and if his dinner isn't ready, Hell will be unleashed! He turned to Sanzo.
"Sorry, got to go and make dinner! Nice…um…spending time with you. Bye," with that, Goku went off, without waiting for a reply from Sanzo.
When he reached home, panting and sweating, he found a very delicious aroma filled the house. He gulped. He slowly went to the kitchen and saw that food was already on the table. Crap! Gojyo was home and he cooked dinner. He slowly tiptoed towards his room.
"Where did you go, monkey?" a voice from behind said. Goku turned to face Gojyo.
"I…um…went skateboarding…," Goku looked down with guilt.
"Luckily I got home early, if not I had to go to work on an empty stomach!" Gojyo raised his voice.
"I'm sorry…"
"I'll let you off this time, the next time that it happens, half of your pay will go to me."
"What?! No fair!"
"No bargain! Now go and eat."
"Fine…"
Goku put his skateboard and goggles aside and went to the kitchen. He sat down and ate slowly. Even if Gojyo rarely get mad with Goku, it was scary when he IS angry with him. Gojyo had been the one supporting Goku all these while and defying him would not seem to be in the best interest. He have yet to pay the kindness the guy gave to him.
"Oi, Goku…"
"What is it?"
"We're going to Hakkai's house today."
"Huh? What about your work?"
"I told them I'm coming in a bit late."
"Why do we have to go to Hakkai's house?"
"We need to discuss about something."
"About what?"
"You'll find out later."
Goku gave a shrug. Inside, he felt as though something was going to go wrong but he pushed aside the feeling. What could possibly be wrong when Hakkai and Gojyo are involved? Nothing, right? Goku quickly finished up his meal and went to take a a little shower before going to Hakkai's house.
