Saiyuki snippet for cygny

For [livejournal.com profile] cygny, because she wanted entertaining today: snippet of the silly.

Mutiny, Saiyuki style:


'He just won't go,' Hakkai said, shrugging.

'Why not?' Sanzo looked outraged, but also rather tired.

He was slumped in a chair. It had been a hard month, thought Hakkai. So many youkai, so little time, as Gojyo had liked so often to quip, before Hakkai had taken him aside and threatened him with a beating.

'I can't say. He sealed up his ignition slot and let his tires go flat. I've even tried bribing him with dog biscuits. You know how he loves them.'

Sanzo looked blank, clearly not knowing.

Hakkai wrung his hands and cast a sorry look to the floor. 'Nothing has worked. It seems we'll simply have to stay here a little longer.'

Here happened to be a rather pretty town, which had a lovely range of inns and bars and nice places to eat. Oddly, as it wasn't near the ocean, it had a beach. Hakkai was content not to question it, and had invested in four pairs of trunks, a beach ball and some high factor lotion.

'Then we'll walk. Where's my robe?' he demanded.

'I'm afraid Jeep had an accident on it in the night. Sorry. It won't take long to dry-clean. Look, here's a fresh T-shirt. The blue is really your colour,' he said as Sanzo snatched it off him.

'Where are my boots?'

'I'm sorry?'

'Boots.'

'Oh. They're being reheeled. Try these.'

He presented a pair of yellow flip-flops.

'Get the others,' Sanzo said in a low, dangerous tone.

'But Gojyo has run away again.' To the nearest bar, he didn't add.

Sanzo twitched. 'So? Leave him.' He shoved his feet into squeaky yellow plastic. 'These rub, Hakkai.'

'And so has Goku.'

'He - what? Where?'

'I've no idea. But he took your gold card and his swimming costume. The combination is quite worrying, I'm sure you'll agree. We should track him immediately.'

Sanzo yanked the door open. 'Come on. He can't have made it far.'

'I do hope you're right,' Hakkai said, checking he had the sun cream, towels and a large packed lunch, before following Sanzo out of the door.

Teehee! Poor Sanzo is being framed, the others are so in this together. Poor bugger could use a vacation though, I hope they'll manage to make him relax a little bit :)

Thanks you so much! *smooch*

Sanzo, pinned to his beach towel, being forced to sunbathe. The idea is frightening. *g* Glad you liked it!

[identity profile] cygny.livejournal.com 2005-10-19 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm, too bad there aren't any bedstyles to tie his hands and feet to... But I'm sure they could find other ways to pin him down, although getting much sun would probably be out of the question here :P Not so frightening after all ;) Thanks again :D

Oh god, this is so adorable.
accident ^_^
Yay vacation!

Hee! Thank you. *hugs*

Hee! Of course!

Enforced holiday, Hakkai style.

[identity profile] mistressrenet.livejournal.com 2005-10-19 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Hakkai, as always, is a genius. ♥

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2005-10-19 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
His managerial skills are unbeaten. *g*

[identity profile] cicer.livejournal.com 2005-10-19 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
*DIES* Hakkai is an evil genius.

And Hakkai always, always gets what he wants. Not even Sanzo can go against that. Love it. *giggles*

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2005-10-21 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! Thanks :)

He presented a pair of yellow flip-flops.

This has to be drawn. Yay, Sanzo in yellow flip-flops, too perfect! (And the "accident" *snerk*)

Very nice, I like, I like. ^_^

D

That's make a great drawing - flip flops and knobbly knees and a cigarette!

Glad you liked it, thanks :)

Hee, very cute. =D

Thanks! :)

Great fic!!! LOL!

Someone mentioned that this should be drawn--well, when I read this, my first thought was that it had been inspired by this poster (http://www.animestuffstore.com/posters/ac4061.jpg). If not, it does fit.

And I totally agree with [livejournal.com profile] cicer:
And Hakkai always, always gets what he wants.

And then this bitch:
'These rub, Hakkai.'
is so perfect in illustrating how dependant on Hakkai the group is ~ LOL!! They are so used to Hakkai taking care of all of them, i.e. keeping them fed, clean and clothed--though not necessarily in that order--that when he does it with an ulterior motive, they either:
(1) don't notice--Goku,
(2) don't care--Gojyo--after 3 years, Gojyo is used to it by now, or
(3) daren't say anything--Sanzo--for fear of being saddled with the responsibility of not only looking after himself--which Sanzo never really did well to begin with--but also the ero kappa, an ever-hungry-and-indestructible-monkey & the temperamental jeep, not to mention the barely-hanging-on-to-his-sanity mass-murder-when-he-was-only-human youkai Sanzo irritated by 'saying something' in the first place. Safe to say, Sanzo is the one in charge because Hakkai lets him be.

This whole thing smacks of a carefully performed military operation, almost makes Hakkai seem like he was some sort-of military mastermind in a past life--oh wait, he was!

The thing that makes Hakkai so dangerous is that he looks perfectly normal, and can manipulate anyone into anything without his smile changing one bit. And he just makes everything sound so...reasonable, it is hard to think of a way to say no.

I agree completely with your conclusions, especially Sanzo's "..fear of being saddled with the responsibility..." I think that describes it perfectly! So he will bitch and moan and complain, but will ultimately give in to Hakkai (altho he will twist it around to seem like his own idea).

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2005-10-21 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
barely-hanging-on-to-his-sanity mass-murder-when-he-was-only-human youkai

Bwah! It's easy to forget sometimes, but that's what Hakkai is.

The state of Hakkai's mind is often a source of bafflement to me. I've no conception really of what it must be like to be him, and to live with what he's done. Also, I can never tell if he's micro managing on a truly alarming scale, or just merely doing enough to ensure that the mess and chaos the other three create doesn't spill out too far.

In fact, the one thing I love about Saiyuki is its domesticity. There's an awful lot of it, in between the fighting.

"I've even tried bribing him with dog biscuits. You know how he loves them."

Hysterical!

"He sealed up his ignition slot.."

oh my... that has got to be a perfect line to use in some jeep/hakkai cracktastic porn.

It did occur to me too... *g*

Glad you liked it!

You know, I managed to convince a friend of mine to translate the scans of "Even a Worm", the Saiyuki Reload saga after "Burial".
I also have a lot of Saiyuki doujinshi scans.
If you want, I can share :)

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2005-10-21 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
That's very kind, thank you. I've read most of even a worm translated, already, but I'd be interested in the doujinshi scans. :)

[identity profile] janegray.livejournal.com 2005-10-21 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Ok, first of all, here are the links to download the best Saiyuki doujinshi I have ever seen. It's actually a story made of 2 doujinshi books, one the start and the other the conclusion, and it's in English! The art is awesome, and it actually has a plot.

http://www.wuffie.net/djadoptions/SD.zip
http://www.wuffie.net/djadoptions/CarletNight_volume2.zip

I have some more doujinshi (in Japanese, though), but I don't remember where I took them from, so I can't give you the links. If you give me your address, I can directly send them to you.

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2005-10-21 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks - in fact I've got these already! They're very good though, one of the best I've seen.

[identity profile] emungere.livejournal.com 2005-10-22 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, flip-flops! Poor Sanzo, he always gets it just a little too late to avoid whatever Hakkai's set his mind on.

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2005-10-23 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that's because he has his mind set on higher lower things. *g*

[identity profile] wedjateye.livejournal.com 2005-10-23 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oddly, as it wasn't near the ocean, it had a beach.

That just makes perfect sense, because if Hakkai wants there to be a beach, there will be.

[identity profile] louiselux.livejournal.com 2005-10-23 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee! Yes, I never exactly thought of why there was a beach, but I think you must be right. *G*
