In Need Of Coffee

So sorry I up loaded the wrong file before...bad me...no cookie!

Still In Need Of Coffee...

It was about noon when they came across the small town. There had been little conversation after Hakkai's little outburst. When the town had come into view Goku had started bouncing in his seat and shouting, " Meat bun!" over and over. Until Sanzo hit him over the head with his paper fan. Hakkai's mood had not really improved any but he had to smile at the boy's antics.


"We'll be there soon." He told Goku. No sooner then they had stopped Goku jumped out and began the cries of a hungry monkey.


"Meatbun, rice, noodles, I'm hungry!" Goku yelled.


"There's a tavern just across the street." Hakkai said. Goku ran toward it and Sanzo looked thankful that it was there.


Hakkai watch as they went in to the tavern before he followed he patted the hood of the Dragon turned jeep and said, "We'll be back in a little bit."


When he entered the tavern he saw the others were seated and that Goku and Gojyo were trying to order everything on the menu. Sanzo got beer and Hakkai ordered coffee when he joined them. The beer came but the waitress told him that the coffee was still brewing, because they didn't get a lot of customers who wanted it. So they brewed it as it was ordered. Hakkai watched as Goku and Gojyo stuffed their faces with food and Sanzo drank his beer.


Then the unthinkable happen...a drunken man bumped into Sanzo, now that could have been ignored but the drunk also hit on Sanzo while trying to cop a feel. Sanzo pull out his gun. Some of the drunk's friends saw this and decided to save their friend from the pretty blond. But in doing this the drunk knocked over the table spilling all of Goku and Gojyo's food on the floor.


"Uncool." Said Gojyo lighting up a cigarette.


"Nooo..." moaned out Goku.


Then the fight truly began...


Hakkai watched the ensuing chaos in amusement until he saw the waitress with his coffee come out of the kitchen area. Hakkai was no stranger to Murphy's Law he knew what was going to happen...He also knew it was unlikely that he'd be able to stop it but he had to try...it was coffee after all.

But before Hakkai could get to the waitress, Goku threw one of the drunks and he went flying into the waitress, both of them hit the ground hard. The coffee pot the waitress had been carrying fell to the ground and shattered.


'All that lovely coffee, what a waste, it just figured!' Hakkai thought.

Gojyo grabbed Goku when he heard the familiar growling. They saw the broken coffee pot on the floor along with their waitress. They realized Hakkai hadn't had any of it.
They saw that * look * cross Hakkai's face, you know * that * look the one of Gonou the Demon Slayer. That look was never good for anyone one. Hakkai started to build up his Chi for a Qi Gong attack that could take out most of the town; When Sanzo hit him from behind knocking him out cold. Sanzo caught him before he hit the floor.


"We're done. Let's go." Said Sanzo.


********


Hakkai felt the motion of the jeep before he opened his eyes. When he did he saw blue sky and white clouds rolling by and Sanzo cause Hakkai's head was in Sanzo's lap. It made Hakkai wonder who was driving but he then thought he was better off not knowing.

"You hit me." It was not a question. Sanzo nodded and took a drag off the cigarette he was holding. Hakkai sighed he still didn't get any coffee. Slowly he sat up as he did, "Here." Said Sanzo as thrusting the thermos at him. Hakkai looked startled but pleased. He opened it smelling the strong scent of it. After pouring some into a cup he took a sip then frowned over the taste.


"What?" Asked Sanzo noticing Hakkai's frown.

"Oh, nothing..."Hakkai told him softly. Sanzo sighed in relief.

"Except that it's Decafe."

Sanzo sweatdropped at that. Hakkai closed the thermos undrunk.


'Decafe! Really, what was Sanzo thinking.' Hakkai wondered to himself.
