Sanzo narrowed an eye suspiciously and wondered if it was still possible to take two steps back, shut the door, and continue down the hall while forgetting he’d ever walked in on this. Hakkai sitting on the bed while he surveyed the two on the floor, Goku displaying some impressive contortions Sanzo hadn’t seen the likes of which since that time Gojyo had bet the monkey he couldn’t make it through an entire day--fights with youkai, included--with one arm tied behind his back. Add that to the fact that Gojyo’s crotch was dangerously close to--
“Is this some sort of twisted sex game?” he demanded suddenly, and they must not have known he was standing there, because Goku teetered for a moment, the muscles of his forearm straining to hold his body weight steady, and he peered towards the doorway from his upside-down vantage point.
“Sanzo!”
Gojyo’s extended leg shook, and he shifted his weight to the opposite heel, tossing his hair from his face.
“Wanna join in?” the redhead asked slyly. “You’ll have to strip down to your jeans and leathers, first, of course.”
“Left foot green,” Hakkai announced, and the other two took a moment to consider their options.
“Damn...” Carefully, Gojyo stretched out his leg, shifted with the movement, and ended up underneath the arch of Goku’s back. Glancing over his own shoulder awkwardly, Goku inched his foot backwards towards Gojyo’s and then over it to a free green spot. The slight change in position did require some impressive abdominal strength, and by the time the brunet stilled, his shirt had ridden up quite a bit.
“How long does this go on?” Sanzo asked, shooting an exasperated look in Hakkai’s direction. Simple things amused simple minds, he supposed.
“Until one of them falls or removes his body part from the colored dot. Left hand yellow, by the way.”
“But what’s the point?” the blond insisted, bewildered.
Hakkai shrugged. “A test of flexibility, balance, and muscle endurance. Not completely worthless skills, at any rate.”
Sanzo could think of a few better ways to test those skills than by playing some stupid party game--in theory, anyway. Not that he’d ever say it aloud. That was Gojyo’s department.
“Right hand red,” Hakkai told the two on the floor helpfully, and Sanzo gave a sharp bark of laughter.
“The kappa will never win.” At Hakkai’s questioning look and Gojyo’s scoff, the monk elaborated. “Goku can support his entire body weight on three fingers for hours. He can bend his legs behind his head. He can even--what?”
“Heuuuuu! Speaking from experience, are you?” The redhead leered.
“What?” Sanzo snapped. “No, it’s because...when he fights--”
Goku collapsed to the floor with a thud, his face bright red. “You pervy jackass, why does everything hafta be about sex?!”
“I dunno, but you just lost, chibi chimp.”
“What--no! Damnit, that was cheating!”
“Boo hoo,” Gojyo mocked. “Now you’ve gotta play Sanzo if you want a shot at the third bed.”
“Wait, that’s what this is about?” Sanzo demanded. “What happened to drawing for the highest card??”
“Gojyo lost his deck, and we couldn’t find another.”
With a determined expression, Goku pointed at his guardian. “Shoes off, Sanzo. I’m not sleepin’ on the floor again just ‘cuz you say so.”

Also? I fail at trying to write that noise Gojyo makes. If you've seen the anime or listened to any of the drama cds, you know what I'm talking about. Yes, that noise. LOL
