Sanzo plowed through the thicket behind the clinic. He ground the cigarette between his teeth.

"Hey!" he turned. Ritsuki stood several yards away.

"What the hell do you want? Let me guess, you want me to go back and apologize."

"No. I want you to tell me why you did it."

"Why do you care?"

"Safety of my patient."

"Bullshit."

"You lied to him for a reason."

"I did not lie."

"Now that's bullshit." She stared him down. He glared back.

"Don't tell me what I feel. That little runt causes me nothing but trouble."

"Then why do you keep him around?"

"Orders."

"Just kill him."

"What?"

"Kill him. Make it look like an accident." Sanzo spit the chewed up cigarette out. "Can't do it can you?"

"What the fuck do you know?"

"I know you didn't mean it. There's something holding you back. Bad memories?"

"Where do you get this shit?"

"Experience. You just don't want to end up losing him." Sanzo flinched. "Was I right?"

"I don't tell strangers my personal business."

"Fine. Just ask yourself; how would you feel if you lost him now? Before he knew how you felt? Wouldn't that just eat you up inside?" She turned and left him to think. I absolutely hate women. Can't let her get in my head. But no matter how hard he tried, her words still rang clear. He kicked at a pile of stones. No, I couldn't possibly have any feelings for Goku. Feelings only get in the way. But…if he did die now then…he stopped. Enough, this is bullshit. But no matter how many times he told himself he didn't care for Goku, something always called him a liar.

Ritsuki returned to Goku's room.

"Want your morphine now?"

"What's th' point? Can't fix a broken heart can it?"

"No, I'm sorry for that."

"What do I do? Nothing's gonna be th' same. I don't think I can face him ever again." He whimpered. Ritsuki sat next to him.

"Sometimes life sucks. You can't do anything about it. If you meant what you said, you shouldn't have any regrets."

"See, why can't I have fallen in love with you?" she let out a laugh.

"We can't help who we fall in love with. It just happens."

"Yeah I guess so." But why does it have to be with Sanzo? Why him? There's plenty of nice girls. Perhaps I should run away with Ritsuki. Ha. Both of them jumped when the door slammed open.

"Sanzo?!" Sanzo turned to Ritsuki.

"Leave. I need to speak with him." Goku shivered at the rage in his voice. Ritsuki got up and left them alone. After the door closed, Sanzo turned to Goku. Goku sank back into the bed. His head whipped up at the sound of a safety being turned off. Sanzo stood in front of him, gun to his nose.

"Wha-what?!" Goku stared into the barrel.

"I can't have you loving me. It's not good for me or you."

"But!" Goku was silenced as a gunshot rang out.
