"Sanzo...we should probably bury her somewhere...and get on with our travels." Hakkai came over and put his hand on Sanzo's shoulder. The priest looked up at his companion, his violet eyes drooping more than usual.

"Do you guys mind..." He shakily breathed in deeply. "Giving me some time alone with her...y'know...to say goodbye?" The others nodded as they left the room.

Sanzo looked back down at Saya. His face hovered over her's as a single tear slid down his cheek. "Oh Saya...I'm sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't save you." His hands tightened around her clothes. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you..." His shoulders shook slightly when he finished and kissed her lips. "I...I'm sorry I didn't say this when you were alive, but...I..." Sanzo couldn't finish his sentence as tears spilled out.

A few minutes later after drying his tears, Sanzo held her body close and walked out of the room. "Let's go." He growled to the others as he walked out of the inn and to the back. Gojyo grabbed a shovel from the clerk at the desk and followed the priest out to the back. He started digging as Sanzo tried to wrap Saya in her clothes a bit better and crossed her arms.

When Gojyo finally finished the hole, Sanzo refused to let go of the body again. Hakkai managed to pry his hands away and place Saya in the hole. Sanzo didn't even look as they covered her up with dirt.

"You guys done yet?" He says as he heard the others walk up behind him. "Let's go. We need to go on." As the others piled into the jeep, Sanzo took one last look at the grave before hopping in. 'I love you.' He mouthed at it as Goku called his name from the back of the jeep. The priest hopped into the vehicle, saying nothing for the ride to their next destination.
