Hmm…I'm back with yet another installment of my fine Saiyuki series! Okay, enough pleasantries. I just decided to be nice and make another chapter for those who do read my work made with the help of Rae-chan.

Original Creator: Minekawa-sama

OC - Mayumi (HanyouRyo)

OC - Kiora, Ming (NoxKindxOfxLife)

We don't own it apparently --

Goku gasped and crawled over to her. He was shocked and held her in his arms gently. She looked like she had been hurt. "Oh my god...Kiora..." he said softly. Mayumi was a bit shocked herself but went to check her. She looked like she had been attacked by someone, the poor girl.

Goku removed the cloth from her throat and wrapped it around her knuckles to stop the bleeding. Hakkai took her in his arms and checked over her for anything else. "She seems okay, if we hurry we can get to the next town by nightfall" he said.

He made Hakuryuu turn back into jeep and put her in the backseat. Goku climbed in and put Kiora on his lap so that they would all fit in the small vehicle. Ming and Gojyo both got back into jeep as well. This was scarier than they had thought. Wasn't Kiora headed back to the town they had found her in? This direction was out of her way. She was heading east and this was west. How did she get over here?

Mayumi tapped Sanzo as he was getting in. "Do you think what attacked her killed that demon earlier?" she asked. Hopefully that was the case so she could have a valid reason for killing their predator later on.

Sanzo got into jeep. "I'm not sure, it just doesn't add up…not unless she was dragged and was supposed to meet us here. As long as she's alive, she'll be able to tell us everything."

Hakkai started up the ignition and drove at a faster rate. Poor Hakuryuu, he would be feeling this in the morning. Goku was stroking Kiora's hair and kissing her forehead.

"I'm gonna kill whoever did this. I'll make them hurt" he said in a pouting sort of way.

He really cared and loved Kiora, who would be so cruel as to do this? Strangle her and leave her for dead?

"If she tells us we might get a good description of who did this. Don't go overboard yet Goku" Mayumi said and started reading a novel of hers. She was concerned but she had to be patient for now. There was nothing they could do until they got to town.

Sanzo lit up a cigarette, looking back every so often to check on Goku and Kiora. It was strange that she would be this way. He was very confused about the whole situation. Kiora's hand reached up, her fingers wrapping around the crystal necklace that she had given to Goku. She tugged on it and it came undone. Her eyes slowly opened as she began to mumble something. Gojyo looked at her like she grew two heads. "What is she saying?"

Goku listened closely to try and interpret what she was saying. "It...sounds like she's chanting almost...I think anyway" he said. He couldn't really understand her himself but if she grabbed the necklace it must've been for a reason.

"Maybe her mind is set back to that moment she was attacked and she feels that the necklace will protect her" Mayumi suggested looking back at them. Because of that necklace, she wasn't protected. Or was it that the perpetrator knew exactly what they were doing? Goku brushed her hair and held her closer. "Kiora? Can you hear me?" he asked softly.

Kiora's eyes were half-way closed. She brought the necklace close to her chest, wrapping both hands around it. She coughed and a trickle of blood began to run from the corner of her mouth. She was indeed chanting, but it was in a different language. It wasn't like a language ever heard before, not by any of the Sanzo party.

Suddenly her eyes widened, she stopped chanting and the trickle of blood seemed to be going backwards, the blood began to disappear and her knuckles slowly healed. The marks around her neck disappeared as well.

"Goku..." She said before passing out. She must have used a lot of energy to heal herself.

Goku hugged her close to him. "Kiora...we're gonna help ya soon okay?" he said stroking her hair.

Hakkai was watching the whole thing and was fascinated by it. Her chanting in a different language, Goku caring for her so much. It was all so sweet. He went a little harder on the accelerate pedal, he would owe Hakuryuu a lot for enduring this

About nine in the evening, they could see a town with bright lights and people walking around. "Finally" Mayumi said closing her book. She had managed to read more than half of it and it was at least six hundred pages.

"We'll be there soon Kiora" Goku said holding her close.

Ming was looking down at Kiora. She was quite interesting. She was only human but could possess such power. Really no human, except for maybe a priest could use such healing powers. That was quite some necklace she had there.

"Goku, she'll be fine. She's not injured anymore. She's just tired." Ming told him.

Sanzo flicked a cigarette butt out of jeep. He needed to get some questions answered by Kiora.

Hakkai pulled up in front of an inn and everyone piled out of jeep. Hakuryuu turned back and perched on Hakkai's shoulder after he got supplies out.

"It seems we might have to get a room with three beds" he said looking at Goku carry Kiora in his arms. The little monkey blinked and smiled. "Yeah, right" he said. He looked down at Kiora and sighed. What happened to her and why wasn't she going in the direction of her home when they found her?

Sanzo walked into the inn, getting enough rooms for everyone. "Do you think you could put in an extra bed in one of the rooms?" asked Sanzo. The man looked at Goku who was holding the woman.

"Absolutely...is she all right? Do you need a doctor?" asked the man, a bit concerned about the woman being carried.

"No. She'll be fine" Sanzo said. The innkeeper gave them all a room key. "I'll bring the extra bed up soon. Please enjoy your stay."

Sanzo nodded to him, he would ask Kiora questions tomorrow because she needed to rest for now. Sanzo took his key and went up to his room. Mayumi followed Sanzo after glancing at Goku and Kiora first. They seemed made for each other even in times of need.

Goku went upstairs and opened their door setting her down on a bed. "I'll sleep in the extra bed" he told Gojyo. Kiora stirred once she was set down on the bed. She turned over onto her side, curling up into a ball. Gojyo nodded. "You sure?" Gojyo asked.

Goku nodded and sat on the edge of the bed rubbing Kiora's hair. "Yeah...she needs to be real comfortable" he said. Kiora was relaxed, feeling Goku's presence near her.

There was a knock on the door to Goku and Gojyo's room. Gojyo opened it and there was the innkeeper with a small army style kind of bed. Gojyo brought it in and set it up then he left.

Goku stayed where he was, he would sleep when he knew Kiora would be comfortable by herself. He could tell by her facial expression.

Gojyo sat on his own bed, smoking a cigarette. The air was heavy in this room, he would of left after the innkeeper left but he didn't want to go against Sanzo's words. Especially since Kiora had been hurt, if someone attacked he doubt Goku could fight and protect her as well.

Goku looked over at Gojyo and smiled a little bit. "Too bad ya can't go out pervert" he commented. He knew how Gojyo liked to gamble and have women all over him.

Gojyo glared in Goku's direction. "You just take care of your woman." Gojyo laid down turning away from the two.

Goku looked away after being satisfied with that comment and stood up jumping onto his own small bed. She looked peaceful enough now. Gojyo closed his eyes, slowly falling asleep.

Hakkai was still wondering about the incident as he made his way to his and Ming's room. "Don't you think this is all a bit strange?" he asked her. Ming looked to Hakkai though she seemed bothered about them finding Kiora like that. And also the demon that Mayumi and Sanzo had seen earlier.

"It seems that we were meant to see both the demon and that woman." She walked into the room and closed the door behind them. "Whoever is doing this is trying to play games with our minds."

He opened the door, letting Ming go in first as he closed it behind him and let Hakuryuu fly down to the bed and lie down in exhaustion.

Hakkai nodded and sat down on the bed. "I know...we've dealt with that kind before but...whoever this is they're not being that discreet on purpose" he said putting his chin in his hands.

Ming sighed noticing there was only one bed in this room. "Did we get the wrong room?" She asked, noting the bed. Hakkai blinked and looked around.

"Um...no...but...what the...?" he asked. Then it hit him, they were trying to set him and Ming up.

He smiled on the outside but wanted to kill them on the inside. "We can share, besides, this makes it a little easier in case you get scared" he said. He was trying to be positive, but he seriously wanted to have a little chat with Gojyo later.

Ming didn't mind sharing a bed with Hakkai, it did make things easier. There wasn't much room on a smaller bed for the both of them. But it was a bit strange that they would get such a room.

She set her bag down at the end of the bed to pull out a pair of shorts and a long t-shirt. She was going to take a shower since it had been a couple days since she had last been able to. "I'm going to take a shower...you can use the bathroom first if you need to" she said, draping her clean clothes over her arm.

Hakkai shook his head and waved a hand in the air. "No no, you go on. Ladies first" he insisted. He wouldn't want to go first, he would feel bad making her wait.

Ming nodded and walked into the bathroom. She closed the door behind her and stripped off her clothes. She started the shower and got inside of it. She took some soap and washed her body. A shower felt so nice to have right now.

Hakkai heard the shower start and began to read one of her journals. A lot of this information could prove valuable to people battling the minus wave.

Ming rinsed her body then put some soap in her hair to wash it. She then rinsed it. Soon she was finished and stepped out of the shower. She just realized there was a window above the toilet. She wrapped a towel around her body. She happened to look up seeing a pair of eyes that looked a lot like the ones that belong to the man who had raped her. She let out a scream that really probably could only be heard by Hakkai.

Hakkai dropped the journal and opened the door slamming it against the wall.

"What is it?" he yelled to her.

He saw the window open and her back pressed against the wall in fear. He took a towel and wrapped it around her covering her up more. "It's okay, I'm here" he said softly. What the hell happened to make her scream like that?

Ming clutched his shirt in her fists, her face burying into his chest. Tears began to fill her eyes, and her shoulders began to moved as she cried. She had thought she was over this by now. She had to be, she had been so fine. That was until she saw them. "Eyes... those eyes..." she said. She couldn't form words that made sense.

Hakkai patted her hair and shhed her. "It's okay, no one is here" he said to her. Maybe she wasn't stable enough yet, but the incident had happened to her not that long ago. She thought she was seeing things now, still in shock apparently. "Come to bed okay? No one is going to hurt you" he said to her.

Ming nodded pulling away from him. She wiped her eyes and grabbed her clothes. She pulled on the shorts, still wearing the towel so she was covered. She turned her back to him, pulling the t-shirt over her head. Once it was on she pulled the towel out from under the shirt. She knew how to put on clothes without giving a little peepshow. She left the bathroom.

Hakkai made her get in bed and tucked her in like he would a child. "Now I'll be back in no time. I just have to get clean" he said taking his night clothes and going into the bathroom. He started the water and left the door cracked so he could hear Ming. He wanted to keep an ear on her since he couldn't see her.

Ming grabbed a pillow placing it under her head. She brought her knees up to her chest. The drapes to the window were open and the man stood outside, staring in at her. She closed her eyes, whimpering quietly. 'It's all in my head, it's all in my head..." she reassured herself. She could her him in her mind, echoing.

"I'm going make you pay...you're going to regret escaping. I told you not to run, I told you not to scream." He was saying the last two things over and over in her mind.

Suki sat on top of the roof where no one could see her. She was moving her fingers like she was controlling a puppet.

Hakkai let the water run over him. It felt good to have it on his skin. He could hear Ming mumbling something but it was incoherent to his ears. He soaped himself up and rinsed off afterwards. Then he took a towel and dried himself. He had rushed but for a good cause.

No one was in the window, but in her eyes he was waving and blowing kisses at her, with a smug smile on his lips. She closed her eyes tightly, seeing him in her mind. What was going on? Who was doing this to her? She hugged the blanket up against her. She could feel his hand brushing her hair back. It felt so real. "He's not real... this is not real... it's all in your mind, Mingmei... it's all in your mind..." she kept saying, trying to push out the voice in her mind.

Hakkai put on his shorts and t shirt and got out drying his hair. He could see her huddled under the covers. "Ming?" he asked. He stepped closer and saw the scared expression on her face and her mumbling something. "Oh Ming..." he said brushing her hair. "It's me...Hakkai...I'm here" he reassured her. then he felt a breeze from the window and shut it. Maybe if he kept it closed it wouldn't be as bad. How were all these windows coming open anyway is what he wanted to know. He sat next to Ming and stroked her hair.

Ming opened her eyes looking up to him. Her worried, scared expression turned a bit relieved as she sat up. She wrapped her arms around him and buried her face into his chest. "I can't get it out of my head... I hear his voice in my mind... it won't shut up... it won't stop." She could feel tears forming in her eyes. Why her? Why?

Hakkai wrapped his arms around her and held her closer to him. "You just need to forget the past Ming. Try your best to drown out your sorrow and pain...I do it and so can you" he said to her. Ming was in bad shape emotionally but who was he to talk? He was unstable himself.

"I don't want to see you this way" he added. He wanted to say something else, something he hadn't said in a long time. But it wouldn't come out. They just wouldn't...only the loose tears came from his eyes now.

Ming had been so scared. Why did she always feel so much more relieved when she was in his arms? She could feel small tears and looked up. She had never seen a man cry before. She felt it was her fault. "I'm so sorry, Hakkai." She said, more calm now. She reached a hand wiping a tear from his cheek. She blushed as she touched his face.

Hakkai smiled down at her and brushed some of her blonde locks from her face. "It's not you...it's me being weak" he said. He always felt weak when he cried but it made him feel better to let out his emotions. Those lips of her looked so tantalizing...he wanted to...but he couldn't. Kanan would never forgive him even in death. He took his arms from around her and looked away. "We should get some sleep" he said finally collecting himself.

Ming let her arms fall, her head lowering. She wanted to touch his lips. She wanted to know if they were as smooth as they looked. But he had pulled away. Was it something she said or did? She turned her back to him, laying back down on her side of the bed. She was embarrassed.

Hakkai laid down next to her and wrapped his arms around her. She was so warm and soft...something he couldn't have. Rather something he didn't want to have for fear of hurting her. "I'm sorry Ming...I just...it's nothing" he said sighing and closing his eyes. He didn't like to talk about it although he could stand to.

She let him wrap his arms around her, but she didn't turn like she would have done out of instinct. She kept her back to him. Her cheeks were still flushed red with her embarrassment. "Good night, Hakkai." She managed to say. She closed her eyes, trying to get some sleep.

Hakkai kept his eyes closed and knew that he had blown it with her. But it was best...right?

"Good night Ming" he said monotone.

Ming could feel the wall around Hakkai build back up. She was beginning to feel a pain in her chest. It wasn't a normal pain, it felt different, like her heart hurt. She moved a hand over her heart, clutching the fabric of her shirt. She felt like she needed to cry, maybe throw up. She moved out of his arms and out of the bed, quickly moving into the bathroom. She closed the door behind her moving towards the toilet. She lifted the seat, falling onto her bottom. She was still clutching her shirt.

Hakkai sat up and looked at the door. Was she okay? He got up and opened the door to see a sick looking Ming. "Ming! Why didn't you tell me you were sick?" he asked bending down to help her. Then it hit him, she was like that because of him. He had made her like that by rejecting her. He sighed and took her hand from her shirt. "Ming...I'm sorry" he said putting that barrier away. He didn't mean to hurt her.

Ming gently pushed him away from her. She looked at him with a pair of watery aqua-green eyes. She then turned her back to Hakkai. "I'm fine." She brought a hand to cover her mouth, she let it fall away a bit. "It's not your fault, it's mine." She told him, her hand moving back to her chest. Damn it, what was this pain? She had had pain before, like heartburn, but this was totally different.

Hakkai felt a pain hit him in his heart, like it was pounding away on his emotions. Telling him to do something before he lost Ming. "No it isn't...I'm being as stubborn as an ass and not realizing...how much I actually am in love with you" he said softly. His head hung down as he stood up. He said them, those words. Things he never wanted to say again.

Ming's face flushed a bright red, glad she wasn't looking at him. His words, the way he told her he loved her made the pain grow worse. She knew what it was now. Her heart had broke and was mending again. How could one man do this to her? "I... I can't breathe" she managed to choke out. She felt a clump in her throat, she swallowed hard trying to get rid of it. She couldn't find air. She was dizzy.

Hakkai rinsed out a small cup and ran cold water in it. Then he handed it to her while getting her off the ground with his free arm. "Drink, you'll feel better, and you should steady your breaths" he said looking straight into her ice blue and green eyes. They seemed like hypnotic hues to him. He was a bit embarrassed by saying that he loved her but a little hurt that she didn't respond the way he wanted her to.

Ming took the cup taking a drink. It helped with the dryness in her throat, but her heart felt so heavy that it felt it was crushing her. She could feel the beating in her ears. She placed the cup down, looking down. She was taking deep breaths, but the air didn't seem to reach her. She reached out grasping Hakkai's shirt in her hand, she was looking down, focusing on breathing.

Hakkai looked down at her. He was wondering what to do exactly. Why wasn't she breathing? Then he sensed something close by and looked out the open window. Every time she was near one something seemed to go wrong. He closed it firmly and stared down at the woman in his arms. "Ming...please...hang on, try to breathe now" he said steadying her to make sure she didn't fall.

Ming rested her head against his chest. "But if you wouldn't have offered to let me come along with you then I would still be afraid to go outside. You saved me then, Hakkai. When you hold me in your arms it feels like you're saving me all over again." She worried her lip slightly. "I-I love you too, Hakkai."

Hakkai smiled and looked down at her with a sincere smile and bright eyes. He hadn't felt this way in years. "That's what I wanted to hear Ming" he said sweetly. His lips lowered to her mouth and he brushed against her lips lightly. He was still a little hesitant but he was opening up to her slowly.

Ming felt his lips against hers. Her cheeks flushed a violent red color. She closed her eyes, pressing her lips against his as she returned his kiss. She could feel her heart beating in her ears loudly, making it hard for her to hear anything else.

Hakkai kissed her, feeling his heart rate go up about a million times faster than usual. He accepted their kiss feeling fireworks go off somewhere. But that was all in his imagination, he was just full of joy that he had fallen in love with this woman. He pulled away slowly and looked into her eyes while cupping her cheek in his hand smiling at her flushed face. "I love you Ming" he said.

Ming's face was still flushed as she looked back up into his own pair of green eyes. She had never felt so happy to hear someone tell her they loved her. Nor had she ever felt such want and need to be with anyone. She smiled at him.

Hakkai gave her a peck on the lips and pointed to the bed. "I think we should get some sleep now. We have things to do in the morning" he said. He was so happy to have someone that loved him, but how long it would last was up to them.

Ming nodded turning her attention to the bed. All the choking and hallucinating had made her tired. She pulled away from him heading towards the bed. She crawled back under the covers on her side of the bed. She happened to glance to the window and nothing was there.

Hakkai went onto his side of the bed and laid down facing her back. He loved her so much...it was a little unbelievable the feelings he had for this woman.

"Goodnight Mingmei" he said pleasantly. He was tired as hell with all those emotions coming out at once.

"Goodnight, Hakkai." She said, placing one of her arms under her pillow to make it more firm to lay her head on. She closed her eyes, listening to him breathe. Soon she fell asleep.

Hakkai knew she had fallen asleep by the sound of her light and steady breathing and soon fell into a dream filled sleep himself.

Ming was having another dream. It wasn't a bad dream. Nor was it like the dream she had had a while ago, where she was flying. Instead she was lounging in a room where a bunch of people were all talking. Someone was walking towards her, it looked like a man but she couldn't see the face.

Hakkai himself was dreaming but he was dreaming of being with Ming, of having a normal life after stopping the resurrection. Ming turned in her sleep, facing Hakkai. Instantly she curled against him, her head tucking under his chin. Ming snuggled into him and Hakkai smiled in his sleep feeling content.

Sanzo sat down on the bed, pulling out another cigarette. He lit it and took a long drag. The priest seemed to be thinking about something, but what he was thinking about was unsure.

Mayumi sat down on the bed next to him and crossed her legs Indian style. She herself was thinking but more about who would want to do this to them. Kougaiji was too blunt about things sometimes, he would go after them so he wouldn't be a candidate.

Sanzo flicked some ashes into an ashtray, taking another drag. Whoever was doing this was trying to really make them uncomfortable and it was working. Deep down Sanzo was fearing for the well being of the group, though he wasn't going to say anything aloud or was going to let those emotions surface. "Kougaiji gave you that wound, right? He wouldn't do that normally unless he needed to. What would draw him out to the view of people?" He asked her.

Mayumi only made a 'hn' sound and laid on her back her arms spread out with her legs still in Indian style. "I guess...but he usually has other people try to kill us" she said. Although all their attempts had failed in the past.

Sanzo looked down to her. "He wouldn't come out unless he needed to protect someone." How had he been so stupid? The solution just hit him. "You two were fighting someone...weren't you?"

Mayumi looked towards her left where he wouldn't see her face. He seemed upset by that. "Yes...it was one of his assistants. Not anyone we're used to though. Someone different" she replied.

Sanzo grabbed her arms pulling her back up into a sitting position. "And why didn't you tell me this earlier? This could of helped us. That person you fought might be following us." He tapped her forehead letting her fall back onto the bed.

Mayumi pouted a little sat back up. "I just didn't think about it like that. I don't need you to scold me Genjyo Sanzo, I'm not a child" she said. But she knew he was right, they could have prepared, she felt like she did nothing but cause problems. Maybe her search for the sutras should have stayed alone. She sighed and leaned on his shoulder, she was thinking about leaving but...she didn't want to be alone again.

Sanzo looked to her. Her emotions played on her features so well. "Don't beat yourself up about it." He wrapped his arm around her and gently pressed his lips against her forehead, as if that was a sign that he wanted to her stay with them. "The past is the past." He said against her forehead.

Mayumi blushed and wrapped her arms around his waist. "I know that all too well..." she said softly. She was too emotional around him, she had to stop and be stronger damn it. "We should try to get a shower in. I'll go first" she said unwrapping himself from him and pulling out her short gown. She was dying for hot water and soap.

Sanzo looked up to her a smug smile playing on his lips. His head lowered slightly. "Or we could save water and shower together." Of course he was joking, hoping to get her all hot and bothered.

Mayumi blushed a little bit and turned her head away as she got up. "Um...well...that doesn't sound so bad...but I would rather do something else in the shower too" she said with a smirk. He had to be playing with her, she was playing with him anyway. But that didn't seem like such a bad idea remembering their time in the hot spring that night weeks ago.

Sanzo smiled, ideas running through his head. The monk stood up taking off the top of his robe and his sleeves letting them fall onto the bed. "Let's go then."

Mayumi smirked and threw off her own robe and then took off the bottom part showing her black stretch pants she always wore underneath along with the tank like top. "How could I think you were innocent?" she asked walking into the bathroom carrying her gown in her arms.

Sanzo took off the black shirt and the bottom of his robes. He walked into the bathroom wearing his jeans. He turned on the shower, letting it get ready before he got in.

Mayumi stood waiting until steam filled the bathroom and then started pulling off the rest of her clothes. She had an uneasy feeling but she was going to let it go, nothing interrupted her when she was about to have 'fun' with her monk. Then she slowly got off her bra and panties before sliding open the shower door and getting in.

Sanzo took off his jeans and his boxers. He got in after her and slid the shower door closed.

Mayumi got a bar of soap and started washing herself with her back to him. "Could you wash my back for me Sanzo? And please move my hair too" she said handing it to him. One of these days she was going to cut that mess she called hair, short.

Sanzo took the bar of soap out of her hands. He pushed her hair over her shoulder to get better access to her back. He ran the soap over her back then rubbed it to create suds.

Mayumi moaned softly, she could never wash her own back this well even though she had tried before. "That feels good" she said getting into the feeling of having her body washed by him.

Sanzo rubbed the bar of soap between his hands, getting them get soapy. He then placed his hands to her back, running them around to her front. His hands were on her stomach now, slowly inching their way up.

Mayumi gasped slightly feeling his hands on her. He loved to tease her, she had learned a lot from their past bedroom experiences. He seemed to get more involved each time emotionally and psychically.

Sanzo pulled her back a bit, so that his chest was pressed against her back. His mouth moved to the nape of her neck. He kissed her neck softly, nipping slightly. True, he did like to tease, it was just more fun that way.

Mayumi moaned softly, not even loud enough to echo thorough the bathroom more like only for his ears to hear. She pressed her back against him feeling his hard on getting up with that movement. "We really...should...get clean..." she managed to say biting her lip slightly. Her neck was her weak spot and he learned that quickly in their relationship.

Sanzo smirked against her neck. His lips fell away, but were close to her ear. "We can get clean later." He told her in a husky voice.

Mayumi giggled and turned her head slightly to look at him from the corner of her eye. "I guess we can" she said in a seductive voice and ran her hand down his stomach. She wanted him to take her in this shower right now, she wasn't feeling wet from just the water anymore.

Sanzo moved his arm around her waist, turning her to look at him. He pushed her against the back glass screen door.

Mayumi gasped from the feel of the wet and steamy door on her skin but she got used to it. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a deep yet soft kiss. He tasted like smoke and beer, only on him it was a turn on.

Sanzo kissed her back, his hands moving down her sides, rubbing the side of her thighs. The water was hitting against his back.

Mayumi waited for his mouth to give her entrance as her tongue slowly licked his lips begging to be put inside that warmth and felt almost like ecstasy when he did. She ran her hands down his back feeling the warm water trickle on her, on them both.

Sanzo's tongue seemed to dance slowly with hers. His hands moved under her where her thighs and bottom came together. He pushed her up so that he was at her opening, though he didn't push into her yet.

Mayumi moaned into his mouth feeling him so close to her yet not going in. Was he going to tease her so much that she would explode? Damn him and his evil ways. She moved her hands over his chest and ran them back and forth over his skin lightly only making feathery touches on him.

Sanzo put the head of his throbbing member against her opening. He could feel how wet she was. He slid into her, gliding inside easily. She seemed to fit him perfectly, like a glove.

Mayumi moaned feeling him go inside her. He felt as if he belonged there, his natural place to be inside of her. She wrapped her legs around him and put her hands on his shoulders feeling him thrust into her slowly as she moaned throwing her head back slightly.

Sanzo's lips pressed against her collarbone. He could feel her walls closing in around him. His own orgasm was close, he could feel it. He moved his hips faster moving both hands down under her bottom. "Fuck..." He whispered against her collarbone, he was getting closer.

Mayumi smirked a little bit at his curse feeling him want to climax. She moved her hips along with his rapid rhythm and gave a few long cries of pleasure before finally coming to her climax as he moved inside her.

Just as she was climaxing he felt his sac contract and release. He pumped all he had inside of her. He came to a stop, his member quickly shrinking away from her. Then he let her feet touch the ground again.

Mayumi breathed heavily and leaned on him to support herself. Her legs felt like spaghetti under her and she was still tingling from him being inside her previously. "That was incredible" she said nuzzling his neck.

Sanzo was catching his breath, looking down at her. "It's always incredible." He could still feel the water hitting against his back.

Mayumi smiled and put her hands on his chest getting the feeling back in her legs again. She was going to be limping in the morning from all that force. "We should actually get clean now" she said looking into his violet hues.

Sanzo turned his head back to the shower. He was tired now, but since they were in the shower they might as well actually clean themselves up. He picked up the bar of soap off of the floor, glad that he hadn't slipped on it.

Mayumi took the soap from him and started washing herself first and then handed it back as she rinsed herself off. That uneasy feeling had come back now that she wasn't occupied and she wanted to get out of there soon.

Sanzo took the bar of soap using it over his body, then rinsed. It didn't take him too long to wash his body. Soon, he was finished and stepped out of the shower. He dried himself off, wrapping the towel around his waist. He picked up his jeans heading out into the room.

Mayumi dried herself off after turning off the water and used another towel for her hair. It was unruly when it was wet and looked messy after she dried it. A shiver came up her spine and she looked out the window in the bathroom that was slightly cracked. She closed it but still had that feeling on her, the feeling of something amiss. She shrugged it off and put on her gown before going into the room and plopping down on the bed. She was tired but energized from her and Sanzo's lovemaking in the shower.

Sanzo pulled on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, throwing his jeans and the rest of his normal attire onto a chair. He pulled back the covers and got in.

Mayumi looked over at him and pouted a little. "Sanzo...um...I was wondering...never mind. It was a stupid question" she said turning over and curling into a small ball under the covers. It was times like this she was glad she was the only one who could probe minds.

Sanzo turned his head in her direction. She was acting a bit weird. This was making him curious. "What is it?" He asked moving in her direction, leaning over her a bit to see her face. "There are no stupid questions..."

Well that was an exception to Gojyo and Goku, they asked stupid questions all the time.

Mayumi looked up to see his eyes and smiled. "Well...I was wondering if this is right. Us. I mean...we're both monks and even if I hate the teachings I want to make sure nothing is wrong" she said softly.

Sanzo pulled back, seeming to be thinking for couple seconds. He sighed silently. "What we're doing is frowned upon. You should know that. But forget the teachings. What we're doing is right, even if it may be wrong to the teachings." He turned onto his side after saying that.

Mayumi let a tear fall down her cheek and she wiped it away instantly. She never let them spill for long or else it was a sign that she was weak. "I know that...that's why I'm afraid. I'm already looked down upon because of my birth and this just makes things worse. If I have to go back home and they find out...I don't know what I'll do. Sanzo...I want to stay with you. I want to go back to your temple even if it may be wrong" she said. She sat up and moved over to him and put her head on his chest. If love was a crime, lock her up.

Feeling her head on his chest, he wrapped an arm around her. Sanzo pushed some of her hair aside so that he could see her face better. "They won't find out. I want you to stay with me too, but I don't think switching temples is going to help anything anyway." He turned off the lights. "Just do what you think is right" he told her closing his eyes to fall asleep.

So was that too much? Maybe, maybe not. Feedback is loved!
