Chapter 2: Something's missing

Back with Touya and the gang

"What's with the glum face Jin?" The wind demon glanced at his friends who were lazing around while Touya washed up the dishes after breakfast. "Don't ya guys think that Toy's actin a wee bit glum?" The other 3 youkais looked at each other before looking at Jin. "I think you're thinking too much Jin. Touya has always been like that…you know moody…" "Having PMS maybe?" Suzuki and Chu sniggered at their joke while Rinku rolled his eyes as Jin face-palmed and Shishiwakamaru gave a distasteful look. "That is crude…" "Hey laddies, I ain't joking! Yeah Touya is really brooding at times but he's been more distant I tell ya! He stones more and he looks so…I don't know…lonely…?" The group looked at each other (except for Shishiwakamaru who was reading a fashion magazine) as they back track on the ice shinobi's character on the recent months.

Touya was nearly the same as he was but he had become quieter and spent more time gazing out of the window; deep in thought. Often during training; he will conduct meditations more often as if…there was a certain issue on his mind that he wanted to clear away. The male had also become slightly more of a loner and had often usually hangs out alone especially if the group was out together; often lingering at the back of the group when they strolled down the streets. "He looks pretty lonely if you ask me…" All eyes turn to stare at Shishiwakamaru who looked up from his magazine. "How can he be lonely! We're here right laddies!" The others nodded and Shishiwakamaru proceeded to face-palm.

"Not that kind of lonely you idiot... I'm talking about the loneliness due to him lacking a mate." All eyes looked at each other and then at the bird youkai who sighs before proceeding to explain. "Look, almost all of us have mates already; Yusuke is with Keiko; Kurama with Hiei and we're all having someone with us including the brute…" "Hey!" "The main thing is that Touya is the only one that doesn't have someone to be intimate with. Seriously, how would you feel if you're the only one with nobody to be with and everyone else has someone?" The others winced softly as guilt hit hard at the truth of the words as they realized that they had neglected their friend's feelings.

"We gotta cheer up Touya somehow…" "I have an idea! Let's grab a few sheilas for Touya!" The group looked at Jin wide-eyed. "Jin?" "Aye?" "Touya will freeze you first if you do that." "Then what smart assed lad?" The youkais immediately started discussing (almost strangling each other) ways to cheer Touya up.

Kido Mansion

Hyoga sighs causing his friends to turn their heads around to look at the male. "What's wrong Hyoga?" "Master Camus has been acting strangely." The other bronze saints looked at each other and the present Gold saints raised a brow. "Erm Hyoga, Camus has always preferred to be alone in the library which is his Sanctuary. There's no need to worry so much about him." Aiolos states as he took a sip from his glass of water while the others murmured in agreement.

"It's not only that! I mean…he's quieter nowadays and half the time he's staring into space and when he sees you guys with each other he goes the other way! That's definitely not his style!" Hyoga exclaims as the others ponders over Camus especially a certain Scorpio. "What do you want us to do? We can't just go right up and say 'Hi Camus, what's troubling you? You can talk to us.' He will freeze our asses off!" Deathmask exclaims while Aiolia & Kanon cringed at the memory of being frozen before after that practical joke.

"But we can't watch him being all depressed right?" Hyoga questioned and the others murmured their agreements. "I agree with Hyoga so why not we go out somewhere and let him loosen up a little. Maybe he might even say something? Come on guys for our dear Fridge!" The gold saints murmured their agreements and the bronze saints excitedly discussed where they were going.

Back with Touya

After the meal; Touya cleaned up the table and proceeded to wash the dishes. As he washed the dishes; the Ice Koorine started to let his mind wonder. For the past one month that they had been living in the human realm; Touya had a queer emotion stirring in his heart. "I'm surrounded by familiar faces; we're in a safer place compared to the Makai and I'm starting my life anew so I should be happy…" Small hands paused for a moment in the scrubbing of the dishes. "But why do I feel like something is still missing…?" Touya proceeded into deeper thoughts as his hand movements slowed. The Ice Master thought hard as he tried to get to the bottom of that feeling. He felt it more especially whenever he see his friends close to their lovers. "Was it jealousy…? No…It didn't feel like that either…was I lonely…?" Touya's thoughts went so deep that his actions had stopped completely.

His thoughts however were soon cut short when he vaguely heard someone call his name. Looking behind him; he came face to face with an individual with bright red hair and pointy ears. "Something you need Jin?" The Wind Master laughed. "Well, I was worried since you were taking such a long time with the dishes." Touya looked down and realised that he had actually stopped in his actions and quickly sped up the process of the washing while Jin smiled. "You okay Toy?" The Ice youkai looked at his friend before giving a small smile. "I'm fine, just tired I guess…" Jin looked on worriedly before putting on a smile. "Then I just got the thing to cheer you right up! Let's go out for a while, get the fresh air…"

"Not really interested Jin..." "Aww but Touya…" Touya sigh at Jin's whining. "How about Suzuki, Shishiwakamaru and Chu?" "They're coming too and you're gonna be alone at home!" "I will be fine Jin... Have fun…" Jin pouted at that statement. "I want you to come with us Touya." "Jin…""Come on Touya; it's been 3 months since we got here and you rarely go out of the house. I know it's warm outside but it ain't too bad." Touya opened his mouth to protest once more when Jin unleashed his pitiful puppy eyes. "Pretty please… I promise we won't do anything stupid and stuff. The weather isn't too hot; we get a day off from training so we're meant to relax and I promise I won't try to blow up any girl's skirt so please…?" Touya sigh inwardly. "Alright then…" "Yeah!" "Maybe going out can form a distraction to my emotions or maybe…even find the answer to it…" Touya thinks to himself as he washed and dried the last dish when something came to his mind. "Jin, what was that with blowing up any girl's skirt?" Jin stopped short of his happy dance while Touya folded his arms and stared at him. "Erm…could you pretend you never heard that part…?" "Jin…"

Kido mansion library

The library in the mansion was silent except for the sound of the flipping pages of a book. For Camus, the library was a sort of peace haven away from the hustle and bustle of the city life outside the mansion and from the antics of his friends. "It's been a month yet I still find myself unenthusiastic in this exciting city…" The male thinks to himself as he places down the book that he had been flipping through but none of the information had entered his brain. Camus ponders over the emotion that he was currently feeling. It didn't feel like homesickness since he has successfully adapted here in Japan and he was free to go as he pleased; not to mention that his thirst for knowledge is settled right here. He wondered if he was feeling lonely but he was surrounded by familiar faces so he wasn't lonely yet he felt something missing in his current life.

"Maybe I'm falling ill or maybe… Milo is right about me staying too much in the library…" Camus was so deep in thought that he didn't hear the knock on the library; the turning of the knob and the footsteps of the individual that was looking for him. "Master Camus." The Aquarius was startled out from his thoughts and finds himself looking at his blond student who was eyeing him worriedly. "Are you alright?" "Yes…I was just thinking. Is there something you need?" "No…not really…" Camus watched as his student eyed him nervously. "Hyoga…?" "Well, we're planning to go out for a while would you like to come along?" "No."

Hyoga sigh inwardly at the expected straight forward answer that he was receiving but refused to give in. "You can take this chance to explore the city and how it is like." "We did for the past 3 months." "Well yeah but…" Hyoga paused again and once again the older male watched as his ward struggled to find words. "I was thinking maybe... anyway, it's better than being coop up in the library most of the time right?" "You will have fun without me." Hyoga sighs as his frustration hits the peak. "Look, everyone is worried about you being coop up here especially Milo even if he doesn't show it! So we are going out or so help me if I have to freeze you and carry you outside!" Hyoga immediately paused at the sentence he had said while Camus ponders over Hyoga's words.

Ironically, Hyoga was right about him cooping himself up in the library so often that many times his friends will come checking on him to see 'if he's still living' (quoted from Deathmask). At the same time, he also needed a distraction from that unknown emotion in his heart and maybe this outing can provide a distraction or maybe even provide the answer to his problem. Looking at his student who was eyeing him determinedly; he did the one thing that would have probably made history of him. "When do we leave?" Hyoga blinked once than twice as he stared at his teacher before stammering his answer. "I-In an hour." Camus nods as he stood up and left the room; leaving an astounded Hyoga who broke out from his reverie and ran out to tell the rest of the 'miracle' that occurred.
