3 Saiyuki Drabbles

These have been loitering on my computer for a while. They needed to get some fresh air. ^_^

#43: Road Hazards (Sanzo-ikkou)

The hitchhiker curled up in the corner behind Hakkai’s seat, arms wrapped tightly around her legs.

She was alone.

Goyjo was tempted to tell her what a bad idea that was, except that from the healing bruises on her face, she already knew or wherever she was leaving was worse.

“Do you have any food?” she asked tentatively.

“Hakkai didn’t shop before we left town,” Goku said in betrayed tones.

“Of course,” Hakkai rummaged in Hakaruy’s glove compartment, pulling out rice candies, several strips of beef jerky and an apple, all wrapped in a peppermint scented cloth.

Goku looked like he’d never trust again.

#38: Dirty Little Secrets (Yaone)

She envies Dokugakuji’s history.

It’s just as tainted as her own but he was protecting someone.

This is your fault, her father had told her, staring down at his wife’s still body, the tincture that Yaone had made clutched in her mother’s fingers. Yaone should have seen suicide in her mother’s eyes, should have questioned, but obedience had been bred into her bones. She’d been asked to mix similar items before and how was Yaone to know it hadn’t been for a patron?

Later, her father gave her to a monster.

She slipped five drops of poison into his whiskey.

#12: AU - Do You Dream Of A Tragic Death? (Gojyo)

Her hair is ash-blonde and dark with water.

She looks up at him, briefly, and then her green eyes close dismissively, like he’s not good enough to bother asking for rescue, and if there was ever a question of leaving her, it just vanished.

“Luckily for you,” Goyjo said, hoisting her into his arms, doing his best to keep the gaping wound in her stomach from spilling her guts onto the ground, “I’m an old hand at taking women home.”

When he finds the bruises, ugly, vicious things whose implications make him ill, Goyjo prays that she was unconscious when he said that.

(arg my comment got eaten x_x)
Your quite welcome, and I tend to agree with you 'Specially since we all know by now that Gojyo tends to speak first then truly think about what he said later. (well at least more often then not with women)

I love this icon as well, and actually it's one of the only only ones that I have the creater credited for. (Cause like my icon page says some of those icons I've had for so long I don't remember anymore who made them)

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Hate it when that happens. And yes, Gojyo has not mastered 'think, then speak.' And in his defense, he was trying to be comforting - it's only knowing the entiretly of what happened does his comment seem kind of horrifying, or at least in despicable taste. ^_^

And you have some nice Gojyo icons! I love the one with him asleep.

[phoenix600.livejournal.com]

Yeah I know he was, and like you said only after finding out how bad it was did it seem in poor taste but.... yeah he is one I see that cares alot and only wanted to help but.. it went wrong in that situation.

And thank you i've got alot more of em but... i'm to broke to upgrade my account at the moment (and if you can't tell; Sinner, So good and Sleepy gojyo are my faves) did you like the comment i made for the sleeping one? XD

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Yep, the fact that it come out so wrong is part of why I love that line so much.

I love the comment you have for the sleeping one, and oh my god do I want to be what he's leaning against.

Also, the text icon is by dawn_icons2 and the 'A Little Too Sinful' is by worst_case

[phoenix600.livejournal.com]

Ah thank you for that I shall check both those places in the next few hours and.. credit is now up and I agree I would love to be the one he is leaning against as well XD.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Yep. Is that from an episode or fan art?

And both of those icon makers are really good - well worth checking out.

[phoenix600.livejournal.com]

Yeah I was looking at them yesterday and there are quite a few i had to snag for my collection (and I tend to use em in MSN and Yahoo as well)

Hm... i'm really not sure since I originally got it from a friend but.. it's really 50/50 which it is though...from the style I'm leaning more towards it being fan art.

[phoenix600.livejournal.com]

(and by the way I love your 'Satisfaction Guaranteed icon XD)

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[phoenix600.livejournal.com]

Your quite welcome ^_^

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

[phoenix600.livejournal.com]
