The next morning, I woke up in an unfamiliar room. It took me a moment before I remembered where I was and who I was with. As I threw on some new clothes, a few memories from the night before came flooding back to me. They weren't all clear, most were blurs of blonde hair and violet eyes mixed with pain and pleasure. Who knew a Buddhist priest could be that passionate? I certainly didn't, nor did I expect someone who was that passionate to be so gentle with my wounds.
I headed downstairs and sat down next to Goku as I pulled my white hair into a braid. Goku stopped stuffing his face and stared at me, mouth open and food falling out. I giggled and he quickly closed and swallowed. He handed me some food, getting a couple of shocked stares of violet and red. The final green pair of Hakkai were closed as he tried to stifle his laughter. "Thank you, Goku." I smiled at him as he continued to stare at me.
After a while of staring at me, his questions finally burst out. "Why are you so pale? You're eyes are red, but your hair isn't, does that mean you aren't like Gojyo? Why is your hair the same color as your skin?" Hakkai and Gojyo stared at him as Sanzo sighed and looked up over the paper, his glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose.
I shrugged, used to these questions. "I'm albino, I was born like this. And yeah, I'm not a half-breed." I could see in his eyes that Goku was still confused. "It just means I lack pigment and a lot of it went to my eyes instead." I explained. He nodded, the confusion and curiosity gone from his eyes.
"Damn monkey! Stop asking so many questions." Gojyo growled at Goku. They started fighting again and Sanzo whacked both of them with a paper fan. Hakkai and I both stifled giggles as we went back to eating.
After the trio finished fighting and Hakkai and I finished eating, we decided to head out. Sanzo dragged me behind a bit so we could talk with a bit more privacy to our conversation. I couldn't meet his eyes without blushing after what happened last night. He pushed me against the wall and made me look him in the eyes. I blushed heavily and tried to look away, but he cupped my chin and kept our gaze steady. "Don't tell the others about last night, okay?" I nodded. "I want this to keep going on but we have to keep it quiet, all right Saya?" I nodded again. He smirked. "Glad we're on the same page." He moved away from me and started walking towards the other three again, who were looking at some things at a booth. I followed suit soon after.
