Another Saiyuki Gaiden ficcy…-.-;;;I write too many… I have no social life –sobs-

"I love you."

The young saru turned his head in amazement and wonder. Two young teens were slightly blushing. "Do you mean it?" the girl asked, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Yes."

She smiled, and the two walked off, holding hands.

"Are?" Goku asked himself. "What's an 'I love you?'"

"Maybe Ken-niichan will know." A voice in the back of his head spoke. He nodded. The brown eyed child rushed off to his station.

"Nani?!" Kenren shouted.

"What? I want to know what it means! C'mon, Ken-niichan, tell me!!"

The redhead's face now matched his hair. "Well…uh…Oh would you look at the time! I…uh…hafta go…somewhere!" he stuttered as he marched off into no where.

Goku pouted. Why wouldn't he tell him? "Try Ten-chan next." His inner voice spoke again. "Yeah, good idea! Thanks me."

"Don't mention it."

Goku walked into Tenpou's library. "Hey, Ten-chan."

Tenpou closed the book he had been reading. "Yes, Goku?"

"What does 'I love you' mean?"

Tenpou backed away quickly and accidentally ran into one of his many bookshelves, which fell on him. "TEN-CHAN!!! Are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine," he responded. "But where did you hear such a thing?"

"On the street. Well, well, do ya' know what it means?"

"Well, um…I don't know quite how to explain it and um…oh I hear someone calling my name! GOTTAGOSEEYABYE!" he exclaimed as he ran out of the room.

"Grr…" Goku was beginning to get irritated. "Hey me, who else should we ask?"

"You've got to learn to stop talking to yourself…try Nataku."

"Oh yeah!"

The "killing puppet" was silently sitting on the edge of a tree branch. He slowly opened and closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep.

"NATAKU!!!!!!" a familiar voice cried.

Nataku jerked awake, practically falling out of the tree. "Goku, don't scare me like that…"

"Ah…Gomen! But can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"What does 'I love you' mean?"

Just like the two before, Nataku flushed red, and tried to come up with an excuse to run away.

But Goku's determination held him in his place. He sighed, giving in. "Well…it's a way to show you care about someone."

"Like how?"

"Well that phrase means you want to stay with that person…and want to have their feelings returned with those same words."

"Ohhh….now I get it… is there anyone you love, Nataku?"

Nataku didn't respond. "…yeah."

"Do you want their feelings returned?"

"Well…no, not exactly."

"There he goes again," Goku thought. "His usual, confusing self."

"The person I like…I want them to be happy. Even more than I want their feelings returned. When that person is happy…I'm happy."

Goku smiled. "The person you like must be really happy, cuz' you smile all the time, Nataku."

Goku prepared to run off again, until Nataku prepared to speak again. "By the way…I think you've already met that person."

Konzen walked into his office, knowing the thousand papers waiting his signing.

"KONZEN!"

He groaned. And him.

"Guess what, guess what?" he asked excitedly.

"What is it, and if it's something stupid, I'll kill you."

" I love you!"
