A/N- In Japan the Girls give gifts on Valentines Day and the Boys give gifts about a month later for St. Whites Day. This is a two-parted Sequil to the other New Years Fic I did. SO LET THE FLUFF BEGIN!
St. Valentines Day
It was nearing St. Valentines Day and Goyjo had really been laying on the lines to get the ladies lately. To everyone else it was normal, nothing very intresting had happened since their little new years party. They hadn't been attacked as much as usual, some youkai still came but not as much as they used to. They where about 2 months away from their destination, so the opponients where getting harder with each passing day. The Kougaiji- ikknou had been very busy preparing for the special day. There where decorations everywhere and like it was a school dance. Yaone had been shopping a lot lately, just looking for something that Kougaiji would like. Doku, like Goyjo was looking for the right girl to be his date, but it was taking him a bit longer due to his higher standerds. Kougaiji was usually just sitting in his study trying to figure out a way to get the Sutra away from Sanzo so he could bring his father back to power and his mother would once more be with him, and his sister.
Lirin on the other hand had been moping around. Her mind was swamped with things that she had never even could imagene before. She couldn't think of anything except Goku. When she closed her eyes - she saw him. When she saw gold - she saw his eyes staring into hers. When she heard a laugh - she thought of his laugh as though she hadn't heard it in a million years. When she could smell food - she could hear his voice yelling "I'm Hungrey!" She had never felt these feelings before, it pained her to think of him for he was not near, but whenever she thought of anything else her heart felt like it would explode. So there she was in her room. Alone.
--------------------------------------- At Kougaiji's Palace
"Lirin-Sama?" Yaone entered Lirin's room. "Go away." "No. It is close to St. Valentines day... and I was wondering if you would come shopping with me... it is for your brother. Also I think it would be good if you got some sun, it has been a month that you have been moping around in here and your windows don't let in enough light. Plus you may find something fo-" Yaone was cut off by Lirin standing up. She hadn't moved much in the last month or so and she had become thinner, so it was good that she was going. "I'll go with you," said Lirin. "Let's get going then!" Yaone was certinly pleased with Lirin sudden decision of getting up and doing something.
--------------------------------------- In Some Town Not that Far Off
"Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanzoooooooooooooooooooooooo I'm hungrey!" Goku yelled into the air. "Shut your yap you damn monkey, there are pretty laides in this town and you are scaring them off!" "I'm not a Monkey! You Ero Kappa!" "Shit, don't call me a Kappa you stomach for brains chimp!" "Shut Up. OR DIE!" "My, my now will you all calm down?" Hakkai was doing the motherly thing again, someone had to stop them before there was blood. "Our lodge is just around the corner, lets get settled there and then we can go to a bar and get some food OK?" Hakkai was good at this for every one agreed and went to the inn without complaining.
Lirin and Yaone where in town shoping and then they saw the Sanzo-ikkou going into the inn. Goku was the last to walk in and Lirin saw his cape flow in the wind as he was walking. Suddenly she became excited. Tommarow was valentines day after all. So he legs took all control of her and she started walking to the inn. "Lady Lirin!" Yaone went after her "Where ar eyou going?" Lirin didn't pay any mind to her though, she just kept on walking to the inn. When Yaone neared the inn she heard the yellng of the boys and understood why Lirin was headed there. It was good that Lirin was happy, but it was getting dark and they would have to return soon. "Lirin-sama I am going to go and do my shopping now, I will just leave you to your thing." So then Lirin was alone, but she wouldn't be alone for long for she was headed to her man.
Goku and the others where just checking in when Lirin walked in. Goyjo was flirting with all the pretty ladies as usual, Sanzo was smoking his usual cigeratte and Hakkai was just... well doing whatever he does ((A/N- What does he do anyway?)). So Lirin walked closer to them- Goku in pitcualr. Goku caught sight of her and started to inch away from the guys and inch toward her.
Their eyes met. Goku didn't really know what this feeling was, but he knew he had felt it before. He could feel this throbing feeling in his chest it was there before but he didn't know when. He saw her beauty and his mind thought - thought of all the time they had spent together in the past. Saving Sanzo and the others, helping those kids with their mother problem, and, and new years eve. He now knew what it all ment, all these feelings that had been there in that moment. A prime example of a epifnal moment one might say.
Lirin was scared. She had seen his golden eyes many times before. It was diffrent this time though - she saw something new, something she had never seen in her life before. Her heart beat had increased by a three-fold. She could feel all of those pains from the past month and she knew what the pain was leading to - more pain. She knew that there would be more pain if she took it to the next step, and she wanted to leave. But she couldn't, even though she wanted to, even though her mind was telling her to - she couldn't. Her feet where cemented to the ground and her eyes where glued to his. He was coming toward her and she couldn't move. She knew this was trouble, she knew she had to get away by any means, but she couldn't.
Goku reached out and gently grabed her hand. He wasn't sure if this move would work, but Goyjo had often used this move and it usually worked. Her enitre body was inert, except for her eyes which followed his every move. Goku was fumbling with her, for he wasn't to experenced in this field. He carefully took his hand and used it to trace it to her hair. He took a strand of hair and twirled it in his fingers. She was now really afraid. But she was loving this, there was just this feeling that she couldn't resist. Goku was now moving his face toward hers, closer and closer. Lirin's faced moved a little toward his, as though she had no control. ((AN-Haha from hitch, the 90-10)) The secound kiss was better then the first, it had more feeling. They where in their own world, and even when Lirin didn't get him a gift, there was a gift that couldn't be wrapped up in frilly wrapping, but it was the gift one girl gives a boy when she knows that it is time. No they didn't fuck eachouter but they where in love. That is all that counts.
Over where Goyjo was he saw Goku making his move and was cheering in the backround, but they where in their own little world, so they didn't her him doing the cheer for Goku.
Part I End
