Author's notes: Thanks for the reviews!!!!!!!!!! I really appreciate them!!

Here's the 11th chap!!!!!!!!

***start…***

The sun continued to shine down the small snow-barren town. The soft breeze blew down at the people around the town, sending small snowflakes of snow flying everywhere.

The two were standing far apart across the room, packing their things up, readying themselves to part ways and return to the normal flow of their lives. The flow of life in which they'd be enemies again, fighting here and there for the Sutra that his companion wears around his shoulders…for the revival of her master's father, Gyumao.

How life was so complicated for the two, ne?

Hakkai stared at the bag. He was finished with his packing, his clothes were arranged nicely inside, other items tucked neatly. What was else to do? He was getting frantic – which was really unlike him. Maybe it was time to tell her already.

Yaone, on the other hand, has finished arranging the bottles and jars of the ingredients she had bought and placed them neatly inside her bag. She was finished with her packing up and there was nothing else to do. And so she decided to tell him – anyway, she'd be leaving in a matter of hours.

"Hakkai-san/Yaone-san," They said together, at the same time turning to each other. They laughed before continuing.

"I've got something to tell you." They pronounced in perfect unison.

"No, you first." They said jointly, now laughing.

"Alright, I'm going first." They still said together.

"I wanted to tell you something." Hakkai finally said, looking at Yaone intently.

"Atashi mo." Yaone replied, nodding slightly. "What is it?"

"I wanted to tell you that I –" Hakkai said, but was cut off by the scream of his companion.

"Hakkai!! Ikuzo na!!" Son Goku yelled outside, Sanzo's and Gojyo's loud footsteps heard echoing. At Goku's words, Hakkai became worried. Will he be able to tell her?

"Oi, Hakkai!" Sanzo followed in a loud voice. "If you're not coming, then Gojyo'll get you."

"NANDESTE!!!! TEME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Gojyo's voice shouted at the blonde monk.

"Ano…hai, hai! Chotto matte kudasai!" Hakkai answered, waving his hand subconsciously. He looked back the girl who was staring at him intently. "Gomen ne, demo I have to do this." He murmured softly, taking Yaone by the shoulders and softly putting his lips on hers.

Her pinkish-purple eyes widened as she felt his soft lips pressed lightly on hers. So he did like her. Like her so much…how come she never knew that what she needed was right beside her all along?

Yaone allowed her eyes to close and absentmindedly, kissed back. Of course, the two wanted the moment to last for everlasting eternity…or even just a few minutes…but fate has its way.

"Oi, Hakkai!!" Gojyo shouted from outside. "Are you coming or not?"

Hakkai hesitantly – but quickly – drew himself away from the beautiful purple-haired girl and smiled…as he always did.

"Gomen nasai…" Hakkai murmured, still in his soft voice. "Don't worry, Sanzo has paid for everything, All you have to do is tell the receptionist you're leaving, is that alright with you?" Hakkai asked, as if nothing had happened.

"A…a…hai." Yaone stuttered out, still shocked about the kiss they just shared.

"It's been nice staying with you this past week. Sayonara." Hakkai said in his sweet, amused voice, and then left – leaving the confused girl all alone.

"Ch'." The cynical monk said as the raven-haired man left the hotel room and caught up with them.

"Gomen nasai, minna-san. I had some problems to straighten out." Hakkai said as they started to walk out of the hotel.

"Problems? What problems?" Goku asked as they boarded the green jeep.

"Ah, iie. Nandemonai." Hakkai waved his hand and turned on the engine, driving to the west.

"YAONE-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The youkai princess screamed at the sight of her guardian. Yaone smiled as Dokugakuji went out of his quarters to see her.

"Oi, Yaone, you're back. How's vacation?" Dokugakuji asked.

"It went well." Yaone simply replied.

"Ne, ne, Yaone, did you get something for me?" Lirin asked expectantly, looking at her guardian happily.

"Hai." Yaone answered with a giggle. "Tonikaku…Kougaiji-sama wa doko na no?"

"Oniichan? He's in his room. He said he didn't want to come out of his room…he's weird." Lirin said, still anticipating the 'thing' than Yaone had brought for her.

"He doesn't want to come out?" Yaone asked, wonder in her tone. "I'd better go see if something's wrong."

"Dame! Once, Oniichan threw a pillow at me."

"So?"

The youkai princess laughed sheepishly at her own comment. "Iie! Nandemonai de!" She scratched her head as she stared at her purple-haired guardian, who was walking down the dark corridor to greet her master.

A light knock filled the room, making the redhead jerk his head up to the door. He glared at it for some time, planning to throw a pillow at the person who opens it.

"Kougaiji-sama?"

The youkai prince burrowed his head on the rich black pillow, groaning heavily. He must be dreaming…Yaone wasn't back yet – he knew she wasn't.

"Kougaiji-sama?"

And yet he heard again her sweet voice. The voice he had been hearing so long, now having desire for the voice to mention his name so sweetly. He's hallucinating. "I'm hearing her…I'm going crazy…"

"Kougaiji-sama, daijoubu desu ka?" the voice pronounced, making sure that the prince heard her well. "Are you alright in there, Kougaiji-sama?"

"This isn't right…this is not what's happening…I'm Kougaiji…a demon prince…I'm not going crazy." He mumbled to himself over and over again, making sure he wouldn't lose his sanity over her. He was a prince, for Kami-sama's sake.

Finally, as Yaone was getting impatient, she gently turned the knob, making the door 'click'. Kougaiji darted his eyes to the person in the doorway to see the purple-haired chemist standing on its way. She was just standing there, looking so sweet, innocent, so beautiful in her own way. Ni Jie Ni was an idiot to call her his concubine; she was, nevertheless, the most beautiful person in this castle. She was indeed too beautiful to be of his possession.

Probably the only position she could ever be was to be his faithful follower.

How he wished for her to be fully his.

"Ya…o…ne?" he muttered under his breath.

"Eh…hai. Lirin-sama had just informed me that you wouldn't go out of your room. Is everything all right?" she asked sweetly, her hand gently grasping the doorframe.

"Yaone…Yaone…you're back." Kougaiji said, now standing up from his rich silk black bed. He slowly walked over to his follower, an inconceivable look etched on his features. His dark red eyes stared at the anxious girl. Yaone shivered a bit under the light of his maroon orbs, unfamiliar of the look that her master's bestowing upon her.

"Kougaiji…sama?" Yaone whimpered, feeling his hand grasp her arm. She looked up at her master with terror in her eyes, only to be surprised when her master suddenly pulled her away from the access and slammed it shut.     

"Yokatta na." He whispered hoarsely as he leaned back against the door, bringing the surprised girl with him. "I'm glad you're back Yaone."

"Did…something happen while I was gone?" Yaone asked tentatively, as if unable to pry her purplish-pink eyes away from the redheaded youkai. Kougaiji's gaze was still hard upon her, like trying to melt the living hell out of her.

And she cowered, against her will.
