---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sanzo had gone for a short walk after eating. He still didn't believe that the monkey he'd been keeping had actually fallen in love with this girl who they had only met a few days ago. It wasn't making much sense to him at first, and he didn't want to deal with the circumstances if he really was in love.

He's too young to fall in love with the first girl he meets. That's Gojyo's department. . . O.K. the kid's19. Heck, he's over 500 hundred if you count those years he was in that mountain.

The monkey only thinks with his stomach. Shit, but he didn't even finish eating tonight. He even left leftovers on the table.

Damn Gojyo has to be wrong. I would have noticed something at least if was in love with this girl. Just cause the monkey isn't eating as much, and is getting more protective of the girl . . . and is spending more and more time with her. GOD DAMN IT!!

Sanzo walked around for a couple hours thinking everything through. Over, and over, and over, and over, again until he couldn't stand it anymore. "FUCKING COCKROACH CAN'T BE RIGHT!!" He yelled at the top of his lungs in the middle of the street. Everyone nearby stopped and stared as this priest stood in the street completely pissed and shouting profanities. Sanzo then relaxed and headed back to the inn with dark coming and people still staring at him.

Shit, maybe he is in love. . . The only problem is that he can't get attached. I'm going to get rid of those girls even if it kills me. . . . What the . . . ???

As Sanzo approached the door to his room, he watched Souryo leave her room with her pack. He stared curiously as she walked down the hall and entered his room. "Hey! What do you think you're doing!?" He chased after her down the hall. He burst into his room only to have a hand slapped over his mouth. Souryo shushed him and pointed to the far bed by the window. He looked up to see his monkey asleep sprawled out on the bed. Akina lay next to him with her head on his chest fast asleep. Souryo pulled her hand away and wiped it in her side as if she had touched something diseased. Sanzo ignored it and concentrated on the hatred at the thought of Gojyo being right in the back of his head.

Souryo walked to one of the beds left in the room. She began to remove her robes and beads. "We came back a little while ago and found them like this. Hakuchou thought someone should stay in here with her since we didn't want to move them. Like it or not you're stuck with me for the night." She laid everything neatly on the table next to her bed, and sat down on the bed.

Sanzo simply walked to the other bed across from, pulling off his robes. "I take it the other idiots took the other room. Did Hakkai finish getting the supplies he needed, so we could leave as soon as possible tomorrow?" He tossed his robe on the table and put his gun and scripture on the night stand near the wall.

"You think you would have noticed for how long you were out walking around."

The monk gave her an odd look wanting an explanation.

She sighed and looked out the window. "The clouds are really dark out to the West. Hakkai's sure we won't be leaving in the morning. One of our vehicles just finished dealing with sickness we don't need it again. He said he would get up early with Hakuchou and go finish." Sanzo sat down and hated the thought of rain.

"Do you still hate me form all those years ago?" He practically jumped upon hearing that question. After several days of travel neither one had mentioned about their past. That question was the last thing he expected her to say on the trip let alone at that moment.

"I didn't think you were going to talk about that at all during our little trip. Why do you care anyway; it's not like you really care if I do or not." Sanzo lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

"You of all people should remember how our master's wanted us to get along and learn to work with each other. Over these past few days it seemed like you still harbored hatred for me for what I did. I really didn't mean what I said. I didn't mean for it to spread either, it was just a fit of anger. For a gifted child I thought being showed up by you was disgraceful to my master. I was actually hoping you could forgive me, and we actually at least get along like our master's wanted." Souryo continued to stare out the window trying to somehow apologize for what happened when they were children. She looked at Sanzo who didn't acknowledge her. She gave up and lay down to sleep. She then gave one last attempt to get him to listen. "You know, I don't the only one to survive my childhood to continue hating me for the rest of my life."

Sanzo shot up and looked at her. She seemed asleep. He went to close the door and went to sleep. "This conversation doesn't leave this room."

"Right."

THE BRIGHT SIDE TO THIS ENTIRE INTERNET TROUBLE IS THAT I'M NOW AHEAD OF YOU ALL IN WRITING THE STORY. HOPEFULLY I'LL UPDATE MORE AND NOT GET AHEAD OF MYSELF. I ALSO WON'T HAVE AFTERNOON CLASS 3 OF THE 5 DAYS OF THE WEEK THIS BLOCK, SO MAYBE THAT WILL INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF AN UPDATE TOO.

Billy bob: The key words were 'hopefully' and 'maybe'. Keep that in mind.

-- ANYWAY. . . I HOPE WON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP TOO HIGH, BUT I PROMISE TO AT LEAST UPDATE ONCE MORE THIS MONTH. NOW SEE YOU NEXT CHAPTER, AND BILLY BOB I THINK I'M GONNA GET A NEW SIDEKICK. YOUR SIDE REMARKS ARE GETTING ON MY NERVS, SO MAYBE YOU WON'T HEAR FROM HIM NEXT TIME. BYEBYE XD
