Pairing: SanzoxGoku, GojyoxGoku,
HakkaixGoku, GokuxHomura
Description: Compilation mix of
Saiyuki characters. Yaoicentric lemon and each couple has their own individual
situation.
The set up.
It's a compilation of encounters and I smashed it
into one big thing, kind of like what they do for doujinshi anthologies. Make
sense?
I could separate the stories, but I'd like to see how this works out.
These were not written in the order posted, and none tie into the other. They
are their own independent entities. Each is individual and unique, focusing on
the different partner set up.
And,
onto the disclaimer!
Gensomaden Saiyuki does not belong to me. It belongs to the respectable
creators in Japan, but here - in America, I sit by my laptop and try my best to
honor my fandom.
Burning, But Not on Fire

The
most obscene of red, rude crimson, but it was still refined.
After
a long, well deserved, meal the party found accommodating lodgings not too far
from the bistro, this town was one of the larger ones they visited lately and
had the chance to shop for anything they wanted.
Their
lodgings were exceptionally luxurious and Sanzo felt the urging need to take
full advantage of the space. He could have gotten two rooms, one for himself
and the additional one for the other three, but complaints and protests would
surely be heard so he allowed everyone to have their own room. Sanzo looked
around his suite, it was filled with furnishings that shimmered with their
golden paint or polished coats of rosy gloss. One thought it was either tacky
or elegant; Sanzo thought of it as neutral and draped his robes over a
cream-colored couch, lined in the rose-colored cherry wood.
He
looked around for the bed, it was to the back and covered in an eiderdown,
stuffed full of feathers, so were the pillows and Sanzo saw a string that if it
was pulled, a canopy would fall over the bed.
Is
this a woman's quarters? he questioned the room.
There
was a table, made of the same cherry wood, and chairs - all alike. A vase was
settled atop the table, and a flower arrangement was nestled inside of it. The
scent of roses and daisies filled the air and Sanzo caught a glimpse of the
hidden door. It was not hidden really; it just matched the walls all too well.
Goku
set his sights on the different kinds of food, though they just ate minutes
ago, and Hakkai took out the list of groceries needed for the trip while Gojyo
checked out the local bars and pubs. Hakkai let Goku have whatever treat he
wanted for the day, to eat that night and he chose a sweet cake with melon
filling and smiled the whole time he held the box.
Gojyo
popped out of a bar and saw that Goku had some sweets.
"Oi,
I'm gonna' borrow this, ok?" he winked and flashed back in the tavern.
Sanzo
opened the door and checked the bathroom out. The bathtub was like a small
Jacuzzi, it had an antique floral print covering the outside walls of the
box-bath, there was a small counter over the tub and had shampoo, conditioner,
soap, potpourri, body wash-
"This
has to be a womans' suite." Sanzo announced to the bathroom.
He
saw the main counter where the sink was and looked into the three-panel mirror
and sighed heavily. He undressed and laid his clothes on the counter and put on
a terrycloth robe, he walked over to the bathtub and adjusted the water. Once
it was perfect, he filled it up and settled down. Tonight was going to be
comforting.
Goku
went to chase after Gojyo but a large, bulky man stepped out in a suit.
"No
children allowed." He said, behind sunglasses, with a deep voice.
"Hey!
I'm not a kid!" Goku screamed. "Give me back my cake you dirty kappa!"
There
was no answer and only a large man standing in front of the doors, Hakkai took
Goku by the hand.
"Come
on, Goku. Don't worry about that, I'll buy you another one."
"It's
ok, Hakkai. I'm really all right; it's just that Gojyo was a jerk." He
paused and breathed deeply, "I won't forget this you pervy water sprite!"
he screamed into the saloon.
They
walked back to the hotel and Goku went with Hakkai to his room to organize all
that they had just bought, even Hakuryu would help out. Goku meant to stay out
of Sanzo's way, he caught on that he needed space, or else he would not have
spent so much money on separate rooms. He saw that the organizing has been
going on for a couple hours now, time flies by when you do something fun! The
door to Hakkai's room opened and in walked Gojyo, surprisingly.
"Yo,
Hakkai."
"Hey,
Gojyo."
Goku
got up and stomped out of the room, making sure his shoulder pushed Gojyo out of
the way. Further down the hall a door slammed and then all went silent.
"Gojyo,
you should apologize."
"For
what?"
"You
didn't even ask for Goku's cake, you just took it."
"That?
He's still mad about that?"
"Isn't
it obvious?"
Gojyo
clicked his tongue and lit a cigarette, "I guess I have no choice."
"That's
a good boy." Hakkai laughed and saw Gojyo out of his room.
"Man,
this is pointless." Gojyo said to himself walking down the hall. "That
stupid monkey isn't going to forgive me."
He
knocked on the door and heard the hollowed sound of his raps.
"Who
is it?" Goku asked, knowing it was Gojyo.
"Oi,
its Gojyo." There was no reply, "Are you still mad?" Goku was
good at ignoring Gojyo, "Come on you stupid monkey!"
"Don't
call me a monkey!"
"I
wouldn't have to resort to insults if you just answered me!" there was the
silence again, "Fine! Let me make it up to you, dumbass!" Goku was
listening, "You're such a chick."
Gojyo
walked away and thought of a perfect way to make it up to Goku, he laughed and
congratulated himself for his genius. He went out again and brought two filled
bags back to his room, settling in he carried them to the bathroom. He started
on 'the most amazing apology… ever'.
An
hour, maybe two, passed and Gojyo stood in front of his tub and finished 'the
greatest, most amazing apology… ever', he liked to add onto the title to
make it sound flashier. He set up the last arrangements and walked to Goku's
room.
Goku
waited around, maybe he was too hard on Gojyo? Even if he was a dumb prick, he
was still a brother figure to him and breaking ties with Gojyo now would be
dim-witted due to the fact that they are traveling together. A knock at his
door made him jump up, but he remembered he was irritated.
"Oi,
Goku, you awake?"
It
was none other than the handsome and long-legged, Sha Gojyo!
"No."
Goku said crossly.
"Fine,
wake up, get your ass out of bed and open the door."
Goku
growled and made a fist, "Make me!"
"Fine,
then you'll never receive your apology present."
Apology
present? Could it be - a kiss? Couples did that on television, an honest kiss
could make their argument stop and bring peace to the relationship again.
Goku
shook the thought out of his mind, "What is it?"
"It's
a secret, so come on. Get out here."
Goku's
curiosity was eating at him, he hopped off his bed and ran to the door and
opened it. There stood a Gojyo, looking down on him and smirking.
"So
you're finally awake, eh?"
"Well?"
"Well
what?"
"Where's
my gift?"
Gojyo
messed up Goku's hair and left his hand on his head, then sunk to eye-level
with him, "In my room."
"Why
is it in your room?"
"Well,
when you come to my room you'll see."
He
started to walk away and Goku thought for a while what he should do. Present!
He closed his door and caught up to Gojyo.
"So,
is it good?"
"Yup."
"How
good?"
"Really
good."
Goku
then recollected what the television time flashed, 11:22 p.m.
"Say,
Gojyo - why aren't you still out?"
"Hmm?"
he opened the door to his suite, "I don't know."
In
fact, he did know. The women of the town were beautiful, busty, and infatuated
with Gojyo - but he felt a pull from the hotel after he stole Goku's cake. Goku's
hooting outside the pub actually sounded upset, he had to check up on him.
Goku
closed the door behind him and followed Gojyo to the bathroom.
"You're
not gonna' drown me, are you, kappa?"
"Would
you stop calling me that?!" Gojyo hollered, "And why would you think
I was gonna' drown you? You idiot!"
Gojyo
turned the lights on and Goku's eye lit up as he saw his gift. Gojyo's tub was
filled almost to the rim with gelatin and on the counter of it had whipped
cream, sprinkles, and an array of different sauces on top of it. Goku could
barely contain himself, he looked around but the glow dissipated.
"Hey,
Gojyo - where's the spoons?"
"Spoons?"
Gojyo
tossed his jacket to the floor and started to undress, Goku only gawked at
Gojyo and saw him get in the tub.
"Gojyo!
What are you doing?! I can't eat it now!"
"Sure
you can, idiot. Come on in, the jell-o's fine."
"You
don't actually think I'm gonna' get in there with you!"
Gojyo's
gaze wrenched something inside of Goku and he started to strip and hopped into
the tub, away from Gojyo. Goku hated to admit it, but he liked the way it felt.
Cold and squishy, it smelled like strawberries and when he looked into the
untouched parts - it imitated a mirror and he saw Gojyo's face perfectly. The
sheer color matched Gojyo's hair and eyes, he could melt into the gelatin and
never come out.
"So,
how do you like it so far?"
"I
haven't tasted it yet."
"That's
not what I meant. Isn't it 'the greatest, most amazing and spectacular
apology' ever?"
Goku
looked at Gojyo and started to laugh so hard he grabbed his ribs, "Oh man!
That's so lame!"
Gojyo
dunked Goku's head in the jelly, "What do you know?!"
Goku
struggled and came back up covered in the red sweets, "You jerk!" he
scooped a handful of gelatin and tossed it in Gojyo's face, sniggering at his
appearance and sunk down into the gelatin, coming back up to notice that Gojyo
inched closer.
"Wha-what
are you doing?" Goku asked, trying hard not to laugh anymore.
Gojyo
licked the side of Goku's face and smirked, Goku grabbed the sprinkles and
shook them all over Gojyo.
"What
do you think you're doing?! You pervy water sprite!"
He
stood up to get out, if he wasn't covered in red jell-o then his blush would be
painfully evident. Gojyo wrapped and arm around Goku's waist, happy he didn't
slip getting up, and took the whipped cream and made of trail of it down Goku's
chest to his pelvis. Goku couldn't move, and was afraid to squirm a lot because
falling on Gojyo means never getting up, and he then felt Gojyo's arm leave his
waist and his hand held tight to his wrists - he started to slurp up the
whipped cream track - following all the way down to his pelvis, licking the
desert that was stuck on the inside of his thighs.
"Go-Gojyo…?
Nngh… what are you doing… Gojyo?"
"Sshhh,
this gift isn't fully unwrapped yet."
"Huh…?
Ah!"
Goku
threw his head back and felt Gojyo pour chocolate sauce over his penis and
greedily consume the syrup. Goku fidgeted and started to crave the food and
condiments around him, but Gojyo's grip was tight and moving had to be kept to
a minimum. Goku didn't know why Gojyo was doing this, he couldn't be this sorry
for what he did - that would be absurd.
"Oh!
Gojyo! S-stop… p-pl-please…"
Gojyo's
tongue found it's way to Goku's entrance and entered him with little
resistance, the muscle tightening and relaxing, then tightening again. Goku
felt like a fire was set inside of him and he looked down into Gojyo's eyes; if
lust was portrayed as a color, Gojyo's deep scarlet eyes and crimson hair would
be it, perfectly personified.
"Hmm?
What's that, Goku? You have to speak up."
"Get…
your tongue… out of me!"
"Eh,
ok."
Gojyo
took his tongue out and Goku moaned a little, his saliva was like liquid fire
setting his body ablaze, now that it was gone he could cool down. Gojyo stood
up and brought Goku's face to his, he peered into his eyes and saw that Goku
was resisting but desired their bodies together as much as he did. He kissed
him and Goku was caught off guard, but soon found himself kissing Gojyo back,
tasting remnants of all that he devoured: strawberry gelatin, whipped cream,
chocolate sauce, himself. Gojyo let go of Goku's arms and he embraced Gojyo
tightly and traced his spine.
Gojyo
knew Goku was aroused by the situation and pressed his cock into Goku's,
causing the younger boy to cry out, Gojyo cupped Goku's face with both his
hands and they sunk back down into the gelatin, it cushioned their weight and
the scent of the fruit overpowered Goku's sense of smell. When the kiss was
finally broken so they both could breathe, Goku's inexperience made him falter
- he raked the now mushy substance with his fingers and Gojyo took them in his
own mouth, sucking and licking them all down to Goku's knuckles.
"Goku,
how far do you want to go?" Gojyo asked after cleaning Goku's hand.
"…I…
I don't know…"
"I'll
be easy on you", Gojyo hugged Goku's body to his, "and we'll go as
slow as you want."
Goku
could hear the sincerity of Gojyo, he was overtaken and his reply choked him.
"Gojyo,
I want to make love."
Gojyo
winked, "You really do sound like a chick."
"Don't
make fun of me!" Goku retorted, "Fine! Let's fuck until we can't make
complete sentences!"
"Sounds
like a plan to me!" Gojyo's longing grew for Goku even more.
He
lifted Goku and he in turn wrapped his legs around Gojyo, they locked lips and
sloppily kissed, taking in bits of jell-o and the sprinkles Goku threw earlier.
Gojyo laid down, bringing Goku with him and they both licked each other down.
Goku passed his tongue over any part of Gojyo he could and nibbled on Gojyo's
nipples making the older man thrust his hips into Goku. Goku felt his erection
and tried harder to make Gojyo moan, it was difficult due to Gojyo's experience
level.
Goku
moved and his head was now at Gojyo's penis with his legs crouched beside Gojyo's
head, he blew on the organ and received a pulsing reaction, he lipped the top
of Gojyo's member and started to clean it with his tongue, making sure all of
it was scoured, when it was he took the whole in his mouth and he could hear
Gojyo whisper something.
Gojyo
bit his lip and muffled any words that tried to escape, he took Goku's erection
in hand and did the same. Cleaning his lower body with his tongue and leaving a
coating of saliva on Goku, in his rush for his 'greatest, most amazing,
magnificent and spectacular apology… ever' he forgot the real sexual
favors. A lubricant or some sort of massage lotion, this bathroom should have
something but they were already in too deep to stop.
Gojyo
inserted his blazing tongue again and Goku felt the fire rekindling.
"Oh,
Gojyo! Ah!"
Goku
stopped his tongue on Gojyo and cried out, the yearning for Gojyo was pouring
into him as if he was drinking flames. Gojyo kept pleasuring Goku with his
tongue and had Goku suck on his fingers, inserting them in his mouth and
pulling them out again, starting the motion. When they were nice and slippery
he took out his tongue and slid one inside of Goku, having him exclaim - a call
of pain and pleasure. Gojyo waited for Goku to calm down and inserted a second
finger, it was taken much better than the first and he started the stretching
process.
Goku
gasped shallow breaths and could still smell sugary strawberries in the air, he
felt a third finger fill him up and winced at the pain, this was tearing him
apart. Gojyo rubbed his backside for composure, reassuring Goku.
"You're
in good hands, Goku."
Goku
made an agreeable noise and let Gojyo finish with a fourth finger and start a
steady pump, opening Goku further so the pain would be less intense when Gojyo
entered him. Goku felt the pangs of pain disappear and waves of ecstasy
overtook his body, Gojyo's fingers felt like small torches turning his insides
into a blissful inferno.
"Go-Gojyo!
P-please, inside me!"
"Ah,
that wasn't a complete sentence." He joked.
Gojyo
took out his fingers and turned Goku on his back, the white tile of the
bathroom floor was warmed up from their body heat but Goku still shivered from
all that was happening to him.
Gojyo
leaned down onto Goku and kissed his collar, he whispered in his ear, "Goku,
if it hurts too much. Tell me."
Goku
nodded and readied himself for what was about to transpire. Gojyo introduced
his hardened erection to Goku's inner lining and Goku cried out, he was
stretched some more and he felt completely filled up with Gojyo, it was a tight
squeeze and Gojyo didn't want to hurt Goku.
"Are
you all right, Goku?"
"Y-yeah,
I'm… nngh… fine."
Gojyo
was surprised at how well Goku was taking this, he established an even
thrusting and waited to hear Goku's reaction, shortly Goku's breathing was
heavy and he moved his body with Gojyo's, a unison for more sparks. Gojyo held
onto Goku's leg and delved deeper, the tightness - better than any woman he's
been with. Gojyo tried his tricks for Goku's enjoyment. With Goku's leg in the
air, Gojyo turned him on his side and had him sideways, Goku was spread wide
and Gojyo charged forward - not letting a second go by without the sensation of
himself inside Goku.
"Gojyo",
Goku tried to clasp onto something but nothing was around him, "I can't -
there's nothing…"
Goku's
cute attempts to stop himself stimulated Gojyo in his body and for an answer he
licked his calf, Goku was so flexible. Gojyo let the leg rest on his shoulder
and reached down for Goku's seeping erection, taking his one hand he pulled
down the supple skin, ever so gently and outwardly stroked it with his other.
The exposed nerve endings zapped and Goku felt the fire shift.
"Mmm,
ah! Gojyo! It's com-ing!"
And
acute combustion and Goku spilled over Gojyo, a thin stream of snow colored
semen was cast on the tile and Gojyo almost let go from Goku's performance, but
his skillful body was set on overdrive.
His
last thrusts were intense but the swelling finally came to an end and he
quickly pulled out of Goku, since it was his first time. He ejaculated on both
their bodies, falling to the floor but catching himself, their limbs still
entangled and he rolled next to Goku.
Gojyo
lifted and arm to put around Goku's shivering body, his fire was now embers
cooling down, he pondered what he was thinking. Goku never seemed like the type
to think too hard.
"What's
the matter, Goku?"
"Hmm?
Oh, I was just wondering who was gonna' clean all this up."
Gojyo
paused and then laughed, heartily - he had to grip his ribs.
"After
all that, that's what you think of?"
Gojyo
picked up their clothes, "I'm all sticky." He grunted then snapped
his fingers and pointed to himself with his thumb, "The great Sha Gojyo
has yet another brilliant idea."
"Oh
yeah? What's that?" Goku asked, maybe it would be a second gift. Or would
it be the third?
"Let's
head back to your room and wash up."
"That's
it?"
"What
do you mean 'that's it'?! I'm sticky, and if we go to bed this way the sheets
will be glued to us in the morning!"
"I
guess you're right. Let's go!" Goku shouted about to run out of the
bathroom.
"Oi!
Goku! Get back here! You're naked, you stupid monkey!"
Gojyo
chased Goku down to his room, he didn't care about the running - the chance of
getting caught streaking was on his mind. What if Goku locked him out? He ran
faster at the thought and closed the door behind him.
"Hey,
Goku?"
He
was nowhere in sight and then heard the water running, he was starting without
him!
"Goku?"
he opened the door and saw Goku's bathroom had a shower-bath and streams of
water were running down his body like small rivers. His body was as enchanting
as ever and he had no idea what he was doing to Gojyo.
"There
you are, Gojyo. Took you long enough."
"Well
if you didn't run so fast-"
Goku
had a charming smile spread across his face, not erotic in any way but alluring
and inviting. Gojyo dropped his remark and entered the shower with Goku,
wrapping his arms around him and letting the water drench them as steam
engulfed their bodies and fogging up the mirrors. They were lost in the mist
and emerged because they both felt the impending sleeping spell taking over.
They
were dry, excluding their hair that still dripped, and laying in bed. Goku's
head rested on Gojyo's chest, listening to his heartbeat, his eyes would close
and he would try to stay awake, not wanting one second to pass without him
knowing Gojyo was still there. Gojyo had his left arm around Goku and his right
behind his head, he wasn't smoking or drinking - but he was at ease. They both
were naked beneath the covers but their sexual desires were quenched and wanted
nothing more than to lay together.
"Ne,
Gojyo."
"Hmm?"
"If
I could stop time and make this moment repeat forever, I would."
Gojyo
snickered, "You're such a woman."
"Is
that why you love me so much?"
"No."
Gojyo said, pulling Goku up to his face, "I love you so much because you
are you."
"Who's
the woman now?" Goku poked Gojyo in the nose with his index finger.
"Aw,
shut up and go to sleep!"
Goku
snuggled Gojyo and rested his head on his shoulder, "All right. Night,
Gojyo."
"Good
night, Goku."
They
slept late and Hakkai and Sanzo were inside their own rooms, well rested and
ready for the day. Hakkai had a map out to plan the route to take and Sanzo
read a newspaper, he wanted as much privacy as possible. The clock struck
eleven and Hakkai was finished his tea and directions so he took it upon
himself to wake Goku up.
He
knocked twice but there was no reply so he let himself in. The room was in
tact, that was a good sign. He saw that the canopy was drawn around the bed and
maybe that was why Goku was sleeping so late, the sun could not reach him. He
pulled the tie and saw two pairs of eyes open.
"Gojyo?
Goku?"
"Is
it time for breakfast, Hakkai?"
"Actually,
Goku, brunch."
"Aw
man, what time is it?" Gojyo put his hand to his head and went to grab his
cigarettes that were not there.
"It's
eleven, Gojyo."
Hakkai
felt the situation was awkward but did not question the state of affairs until
Gojyo got off the bed and was exposed.
"Gojyo,
you seem to be naked." Hakkai pointed out.
Gojyo
looked down and remembered that he was, in fact, bare. Goku was still
motionless and half-asleep but had enough energy to laugh a little.
"Gojyo!
You're naked, stupid kappa."
"What?
What was that?!" Gojyo ripped the blankets off the bed and uncovered Goku.
"Goku,
you also seem to be naked."
"I'm
cold! Give the blankets back!"
"No
way! That's what you get for laughing at me."
Gojyo's
hand was on Goku's forehead to keep him arm length's away, and Hakkai was
caught in the middle of it all.
"Now,
now you two." He raised his hands up in sympathy, "Why don't you two
get dressed and get something to eat. We should be leaving soon."
Goku
hopped off the bed and looked for his clothes, Gojyo stood there and adjusted
himself nonchalantly. They were dressed and rang up a hearty brunch on Sanzo's
bill. The mid-morning meal was deliciously set in Goku's room, the room service
server made a quizzical look at the two males but found his way out on his own
without disturbing them. Goku gobbled up a good amount of eggs and breakfast
meats as Gojyo noticed the bacon and sausage were disappearing off of his
plate.
"You
really should eat some fruit or something, Goku."
"Eh,
I'd rather eat what I got in front of me." He stuffed another link in his
mouth, almost choking himself.
"Don't
talk with your mouth full."
Goku
stuck out his tongue and ignored Gojyo's request.
"Here."
Gojyo held up a fork with a strawberry stuck on it.
Goku
paused and looked at him, "What do you think you're doing, Gojyo?"
"Say
'ah'." Gojyo smiled.
"I
don't want to." Goku replied, but saw Gojyo's pure reason in his smile, "Fine,
'ah'."
He
ate the fruit and chewed, his face reddening and comparable to the strawberry.
"That's
a good boy, Goku."
Goku
threw a pancake at Gojyo that hit his face perfectly and it fell on his lap
when Gojyo went to counter the syrup followed and splattered on him and his
clothes.
"What
do you think you're doing?!"
Goku's
laughs made it hard to breathe and he was lifted out of his chair by Gojyo,
taken by the front of his shirt.
"Look
at me! I'm sticky - again!"
Goku
stopped laughing and licked Gojyo's cheek, it was maple syrup and very sweet
with a thick consistency, Gojyo let go of Goku's shirt and tried to keep his
angry tone from squeaking.
"I'm
going to have to take another shower. Man this is troublesome." He brushed
his hair from his face.
"That's
the idea." Goku whispered and took Gojyo's hand, leading him to the
bathroom.
"I
think I'm rubbing off on you, Goku."
"Is
that a bad thing?"
"Well,
it's not exactly good."
The
morning fell and noon materialized, they left. With the cherry sun and the
stagnant heat it was dusk and the effects bore down on the jeep. Goku was
playing cards with Gojyo in the back and has been losing each hand since they
started then a thought struck him.
"I
wonder who cleaned your room."
"Eh,
who cares?"
"I
feel bad for em."
"Don't,
it's their job. Right?"
"I
guess so." Goku turned his cards over, "Ha! Four of a kind!"
Goku showed his row of sixes.
"Ah,
that's too bad Goku. I have a full house." Gojyo showed his matching
cards, all of the heart suit.
Goku
stared in disbelief and then the red hearts stirred something inside of him, he
looked to Gojyo's sinful face. The maroon sun gave Gojyo a supernatural aura
and Goku felt a magnetism from Gojyo, it was unreal.
"Wanna'
go again, Goku?"
The
thoughts of last night passed through his head and he nodded, thinking about
sex and wanting to throw the cards out of the jeep. Gojyo shuffled and dealt
them, fully aware of Goku's languid movements.
"Poor
sucker, whoever it is."
"Huh?"
Goku could barely hear what he was saying.
"Nothing,
nothing."
The
hotel's maid knocked on an empty room's door, letting herself in and saw that
the bed was untouched - as was most of the things in this room. She pulled her
cart with her, humming to herself and opened the bathroom door. She was winded
and threw her arms up to her mouth in shock from the scene.
A
red liquid almost filled the tub up to the brim and was covering tiles and
other substances were lying on the ground. There was an empty bottle of
something on the floor and there seemed to be a struggle of some sort, she let
out a small cry and fainted.
The
most obscene of red, rude crimson, but it was still refined.
A
more scandalous dandy was born the night before.
