"I'm so hot.." Goku moaned, wearily lifting his foot to place it in front of the other. A slow movement even for him. Sanzo had kicked him out of the car only a few miles away from the village, apparently he had been being a nuisance and was angering the fake monk. It was Gojyo's fault.. He was the one making snarky remarks, making odd faces at him and making it almost impossible for Goku not to argue with the Kappa.
Of course it had grated so far down on Sanzo's nerves that he'd twacked the monkey with his fan and told Hakkai to continue when he'd tumbled out of the jeep. Sanzo had better give him a hell of a lot of food to make up for that.
A muffled sentence came from between Goku's lips and then a rather heavy sigh. He hated walking normally.. But walking on an empty stomach in heat like this was just plain unbearable, "So hot," he whined again, to nobody in particular. Even when alone Goku just couldn't stay silent for more than one minute.

Titan beamed streaming down the road in his new car... unknown by his parents he had got a job, one that paid well, and with his wages combined with his pocket money purchased at last a second-hand very decent - topless - car. He laughed turning the stereo up to blast the desert and the sand and dust flew out behind his wheels.
He eased into the gears clocking up the speed so effortlessly, god cars were great. Further along the dirty road was a person walking. Titan debated stopping, thinking better of it twice and then battling his conscience. He whizzed past the person and then quickly slammed the breaks. Dammit, this... guy, better be fit thought Titan as he peered at Goku in the rear view mirror.

Goku's mind barely had time to register the blaring music before something large and colourful zoomed past him, screeching to a halt just a few metres up ahead. He blinked slowly, his arm having raised instinctively to prevent sand from blowing into his golden eyes, "hey!" He cried out, suddenly regaining a little energy, "watch where ya going will ya?" So it wasn't exactly polite of him, but then his heart was still beating faster than it really should be.
He blinked slowly, still pretty thankful that his eyeballs hadn't all dried up from the stupid weather yet. He'd already decided that when that happened he was just going to sit and wait for Sanzo to come pick him up.
He jogged forwards towards the car suddenly, not looking half as weary as before, "hey, you heading into town?" He asked brightly at this stranger, forgetting nearly instantly about being sprayed with sand. He looked friendly (and human) enough, "can i catch a ride?"

"sorry mate," said Titan meaning the sand, he didn't quite sound local, "yeah I'm heading into town, didn't think it fair that you have to wander back all by your onsies..." Titan turned the music down to a more gentle beat, "hop in rabbit..." private joke. Obviously had to be because Titan was smiling to himself looking out the other side of the car, "Where abouts are you heading?"
Titan was off to his little flat in town to drop off his newly bought art supplies, always oblivious to all the goings on around him, art this and art that... no power politics war on earth crap for him.

Goku didn't need much more persuasion than that really. He hopped into the car, becoming more comfortable than he had been for quite a few days. This was definetely more relaxing than walking, to say the least. Sanzo was right, Goku did trust people far too easily. This guy could be a demon for all Goku knew, he could be wearing a power limiter, like the one on his own forehead, but he wouldn't care. As long as he a) didn't die and b) didn't have to walk any more.
"I'm just going into the town, have to find the rest of my party before they eat and go to bed," he sounded somewhat mournful at that thought. He'd get shot if he woke the fake monk asking for money to buy himself some food. If he didn't make it he might not be able to eat until the morning! He dreaded to think what noises his stomach would be making by that time, "I'm Goku by the way," he grinned brightly, "what can i call you?"

"Titan," replied the young boy pulling out of the lay-by slipping into gear and easing the speed up steadily, "just Titan..." he bobbed in his seat slightly as if he were still not used to his car seat, and he wasn't... not really.. Cool car, bloody uncomfortable seats.
"Well... I'm not doing anything for dinner," he began slowly, thinking very carefully how not to sound very forward, "and if we get into town late... why not come eat with me? I mean if your friends can't wait for you then maybe we could eat together and stuff..." he trailed away beginning to sound like a nervous teenager asking his long term crush to go to prom with him. He raised an arm the scratch the back of his neck, "y'know... just a friendly... car buddy thing?" Meh. STOP digging the hole!
Titan jerked the steering wheel narrowly missing a small lizard as it trekked across the road, poor little bugger, couldn't run over small salamanders now could he?
