A Conversation

One night, in an inn somewhere...

"Ne, Sanzo..."

"What is it now, monkey?"

"Um, well..."

"Spit it out already! I'm trying to sleep!"

"Okay... well... um..."

"Goku..."

"Uh, I was... just... wondering why you never hit Hakkai with that fan thingy you've got..."

"..."

"Yeah, uh, well, it's ok Sanzo, nevermind... I mean 's probably just b'cause he never does annoying stuff like me an' Gojyo anyways right?..."

"..."

"Well...anyway... g'night Sanzo..."

"..."

It was a few short minutes later, when Goku's breaths had softened, evening into the slow rhythm of sleep that Sanzo finally answered.

"Because he hits back, stupid monkey..."
