Okay, this is my very first try at a Saiyuki Fanfic. Generally I don't like using someone elses characters, but the Saiyuki boys are so cute I just had too. They may appear a little OOC, but hopefully not too much. Point any grammar errors out to me, and if anyone is willing to beta, please contact me! (I need it!)
Disclaimer- I do not own any of these characters.
Entering the brick building that was his new school Cho Hakkai smiled suddenly, feeling an unexplainable happiness.
"We have a new student today, everyone please welcome him." The teacher gestured for the dark haired boy to sit down, and he did so, choosing a desk in the back, next to a small boy with his head on the desk, apparently sleeping. His head lifted, revealing huge golden eyes partly shielded by uncombed brown hair.
"Hi." Hakkai whispered to the other boy.
"Hello. You're new here?" Hakkai nodded. "Oh, my names Goku."
"I'm Hakkai." Goku blinked and then nodded, resting his head on the desk once again.
Hakkai walked down the hall, trying to figure out where his next class was located. He saw Goku rush past him, and then after a large group of mean looking boys, apparently after the weak looking Goku. He quickened his pace and saw the boys walking, but no Goku in sight. Soon after Goku crept out from behind a garbage can and looked around.
"They bother you often?" Goku's head swiveled, and he stared at Hakkai with his disconcertingly honest eyes.
"Umm. Not really. Not as much as some kids, because of Sanzo." Goku's whole demeanor changed when he said the name, his eyes brightened and he straightened.
"Sanzo?" The name was strange to him, but still rolled easily off Hakkai's tongue.
"Mmmmn Hmmmn. He'll be in the hallway in a minute, do you want me to show him to you?" Without waiting for an answer Goku took Hakkai's hand and pulled him into a little niche, where they would be invisible to those walking. Soon a group of teens started walking down the hall, all congregated around one boy who didn't seem to be talking. His golden hair fell into amazingly violet eyes, and he didn't seem to notice everyone around him. Well, he didn't seem to notice them except for the slight twitching in his right temple.
"Which ones Sanzo?" Hakkai thought he knew already, but asked Goku anyways.
"The one in the middle." Hakkai nodded and glanced at the boy next to him, it was obvious that Goku was head over heals in love with what looked like the schools most popular person. Judging from Goku's stained clothes and generally ragged appearance, he wasn't going to get into this "Sanzo's' gang of friends easily.
"Sanzo watching again monkey?" Hakkai spun around at the voice; he had been unaware that anyone was coming up behind them. Goku didn't seem surprised and said almost mechanically, while still watching the procession,
"Shuddup Gojyo." Hakkai felt himself staring at the boy; he had shoulder length red hair, his eyes the same color.
"Hey, you the new student?" Hakkai was so entranced at staring at the boy's remarkable hair and eye color that he took a minute to answer,
"Uh, yes," The boy blinked at him and then shrugged, peering down the hallway where the little entourage had already disappeared.
"I don't know why you like him so much monkey. I mean, he's hot and all, but his personalities lacking." Goku then turned his undivided attention to Gojyo.
"Don't talk that way about Sanzo!" Gojyo shrugged and then grabbed Goku's arm and peeled back some of the cloth from his shirt, revealing a dark bruise.
"Shit Goku! What the hell happened this time?" Goku shrugged nonchalantly and snatched his hand away.
"I fell that's all." Gojyo exchanged a glance with Hakkai; the bruise had been large and painful looking. The bell rang, making Hakkai jump.
"I'm late!" Neither Goku nor Gojyo seemed to be worried about this, and Gojyo said easily.
"What class do you have next?"
"Gym, can you direct me to it?" Goku looked about too, but then Gojyo intervened,
"Hey, don't go to gym. There's nothing there anyways, and no one cares if you skip." Hakkai looked reluctant, but allowed himself to be pulled along by both the other boys. They stopped at an outer wall, and Gojyo took out a cigarette and inhaled deeply. He grinned at Hakkai disarmingly and commented,
"Only been here one day and already you're gotten together with a bad group."
"What do you mean?" Gojyo thought for a minute,
"Well, take Goku. He's failing all his classes, doesn't come to class often, and follows Sanzo around all day long." Goku looked a little insulted, but was busy drawing on the pavement with a piece of broken chalk, so he refrained from commenting. "And then there's me." He didn't go elaborate, and Hakkai didn't ask him too. They stayed there for a couple minutes in companionable silence, until Goku yelped,
"Sanzo!" The blonde was leaning against the adjoining wall, pushing back his hair and lighting up.
"The appearance of the almighty prick. Just what we needed." Goku had run over to Sanzo, which surprised Hakkai a little, since his crush seemed like one from afar.
"Err…" Hakkai watched as Goku started talking animatedly, with Sanzo completely ignoring him. "Do they even know each other?" Gojyo looked a little surprised, but answered,
"Yeah. They both live in the same apartment or something." Hakkai nodded and watched for a moment.
"It doesn't seem like Sanzo likes Goku much." Gojyo shrugged.
"I don't think you can tell anything with that blonde. If you based who he liked on how he acts towards them, then there's nobody he cares about." They were both more then a little startled when a voice cut them off.
"Will you stop talking for a minute you damn monkey!" Sanzo seemed to have had enough of Goku's incessant tirade and yelled. Both Hakkai and Gojyo looked at Goku, expecting him to be crestfallen, but he was grinning like a maniac and tugging at Sanzo's sleeve. The only words they could make out from Goku's mouth were, "Food, hungry, starving,"
"I think Sanzo's about to go insane." Sanzo simply stared down at Goku and then walked away, without saying a single word.
"Sanzo! C'mon!" Goku followed him, pleading for more substance.
"They're quite the odd couple." Gojyo watched them leaving and turned back to Hakkai. "So, where you staying?" Hakkai blinked at the sudden change in topic but answered evenly.
"At a youth hostel near here."
"That's gotta be hard." Hakkai shrugged and smiled,
"It's okay." He didn't say anything else, and for the first time his smile seemed slightly strained.
"Well. I guess I better get going then." Gojyo left Hakkai staring at the wall with a slightly sad expression.
So that's the first chapter... Was it okay? Review and it will continue at a very fast pace!
