LULLABY
The only times that Kougaiji ever sang was when Lirin wanted him to sing a lullaby
for her. The last time that happened, Lirin was around four years old. Needless
to say, Kougaiji was out of practice. After all, one didn't have many
opportunities to vocalize when one was in the relentless pursuit of the five
founding sutras of Heaven and Earth.
After the entire fight with Gyumao—in which the Kougaiji-tachi joined forces
with the Sanzo-ikkou to kill the demon emperor—and Kougaiji was the new leader
of all demon, Dokugakuji and a group of soldiers that had joined Kougaiji's
side decided that it was only appropriate that they throw a big party. Complete
with alcohol, a karaoke contest, and demons from the nearest villages. Goku and
Lirin weren't allowed to touch the alcohol.
Quite suddenly, a microphone was being thrust into Kougaiji's hand and before
he could protest, he had been hoisted on top of the stage and the opening
strains of the song were filling the night air. It took the redhead a moment
before he awkwardly began to sing. He was pleasantly surprised when people
began to cheer before he became more confident and finished the song with a bow
to the audience.
The party was going strong and Kougaiji was getting some more food from the
buffet table when a cheer rose up from the audience indicating yet another
victim who had been forced to sing the next song. The newly-appointed demon
emperor nearly choked when he saw that it was a very drunk Sanzo standing on
the stage.
Fully expecting the monk to unleash his sutra on the demon commoners for
forcing him to sing, Kougaiji pushed his way to the front of the crowd to pull
the blond down before he could hurt his people. He wasn't expecting Sanzo to
burst into song the moment the music played. For a drunkard, he was singing
pretty well.
The moment the song was done, Sanzo dropped the mike and promptly fell off the
stage, completely drunk. Kougaiji caught him and blinked for a few times before
he enlisted Dokugakuji's help in bringing the monk into the castle to put him
inside one of the spare bedrooms. Hakkai followed to check on the monk.
After putting the monk to bed, the three of them left the bedroom, turning off
the lights, and returning to the party. When the festivities finally wound
down, Kougaiji convinced the rest of the ikkou to stay the night in the castle
before going back home. Seeing as their fearless leader was sleeping in one of
the rooms of said castle, they didn't see any reason to refuse.
On the way to his bedroom, Kougaiji paused outside Sanzo's door. On a whim, he
entered the room only to find the monk lying in bed, eyes open and staring at
the ceiling.
"Need anything?"
"I can't sleep."
Kougaiji doesn't know why he did it, but he opened his mouth and began to sing
a lullaby. In a few minutes, Sanzo's fast asleep. The monk might not be Lirin,
but Kougaiji kisses him on the forehead anyway before leaving the room.
