Hey all. Sorry it's been so long since the last time I updated this thing. I finally finished my tenth chapter. I am getting really close to finishing. I am sorry this is such a small post, but I felt I owed it to the people who read my fan fictions anupdate, even a small one would work. Anyway, please R&R

I do not own Saiyuki or any Saiyuki Characters.

Enjoy...

They got back to the room. Ming Yue threw a carton of Marlboro Red at Sanzo. Gojyo sat on the edge of the bed. Ming Yue pulled the bottle of liquor from the bag then left the room. She sat against the wall beside the door to the room. Ming Yue unscrewed the lid and brought the bottle to her lips. She took a swig from the bottle testing it out.

Meanwhile, Sanzo had pulled a pack from the carton. He opened the pack and pulled out a cigarette and placed it into his mouth. Sanzo lit the cigarette and drew in smoke, letting it out slowly.

"What's wrong with her?" Asked Sanzo

"I'm not sure."

It had been about an hour or so later. The bottle of alcohol was empty, sitting next to Ming Yue. She let out a hiccup and dropped the bottle out of her hands. There was a click and the door opened. Gojyo walked out and pulled the door shut after him. He looked down at Ming Yue, who at the moment looked a bit pissed.

"Why did you leave, Kenren?" She asked

"I didn't leave. Who is Kenren?" Gojyo asked

She stood up and for a second rested her face in her hands. She rubbed her temples slightly then looked back up to Gojyo.

"Don't lie to me." She said.

"I'm n--"

"I thought I was good enough for you, but obviously I was wrong."

"What are you talking about?"

Gojyo looked confused. Ming Yue's face quickly changed emotions, now she held a face full of sorrow. She walked closer to Gojyo, into his arms. She rested her cheek on Gojyo's chest. Not quite sure what he should do, he simply wrapped his arms around her.

"I still love you. Heaven has been so lonely without you."

Gojyo looked down at Ming Yue. "What are you talking about? Are you okay?"

Ming Yue nodded slightly. "You don't remember... You don't remember Kenren."

"What am I supposed to remember?"

"Don't you remember Heaven?"

Not getting an answer from Gojyo she pulled away from him. She stared him over, trying to determine where she had gone wrong. Just then her eyes fluttered shut and she fell over. She had passed out. Great. Gojyo picked her up taking her back into the inn room. As he walked in Goku looked at the passed out Ming Yue then to Gojyo.

"What did you do to her?" He asked in an accusing tone.

"I didn't do anything! She just passed out." He said in his defense.

He placed Ming Yue on one of the beds; she turned onto her side facing away from the Sanzo party.

"Where's Hakkai?" Asked Gojyo.

"Went shopping." Sanzo said.

Hakkai was in the hallway with a couple bags of groceries in his arms. Gojyo was leaning against the wall, When he saw Hakkai he pushed off the wall and took one of the bags.

"Hakkai..."

"Yes?"

"You've talked to Ming Yue, right?"

"Yes I have."

"Did she tell you anything about a man named Kenren?"

"No. Why?"

"She kept calling me Kenren. Anything about Heaven?"

Hakkai nearly dropped his bag of groceries. She had let her secret slip. He was now wondering if this was going to cost her dearly. He figured she had dug herself a hole.

"Anything Ming Yue had told you or hasn't told you is up to her. I can't tell you anything."

He walked into the room seeing Goku leaning over Ming Yue and Sanzo reading his usual paper. He shook his head.

"Goku stop hovering."

Goku obeyed and went to sit on the other bed.
