"Would this be okay, Kanzeon-sama?"
"I don't know…"
"Should we stop it?"
"We can't interfere or we'll get killed.
"But you just said…"
"Never mind what I just said."
"But is it dangerous?"
"It depends on the reaction…"
"From who?"
"From…"

"Yare Yare desu ne. They doesn't seem to learn." Hakkai noted as Sanzo shot the last demon. Sanzo sighed as he holstered his gun. "We should keep going." He whispered as he walked out of the trees. "Saaanzo! It's sooo cold!" Goku whined. It is true… The road they were going through was full of snow…
"Saaaanzooo!!! I'm…" 'Thwack' "Ow! Why did you do that?!" Goku shouted as he raised his head from the snow. Sanzo hoped on Hakuryu, bowed his head and closed his eyes. Hakkai smiled and turned to look at the other person inside the jeep. "We should get on as soon as possible." Reika smiled. "This monkey is making our trip slower." Gojyo sarcastically said.
Goku jumped into the jeep. "Why you water-monster-kappa!" Goku shouted as he balanced his body as he landed. "It's true, Zaru." Gojyo mimicked Sanzo's voice. Gojyo was out of the jeep and lying on the cool snow. He quickly stood up. "Sanzo! Don't throw the damn fan!" He shouted. Hakkai entered the jeep and stared at Sanzo... He sweat dropped.
Gojyo got into the jeep. "Speak up corrupt monk!" He shouted. Goku and Reika moved towards Sanzo. "He's moving in his sleep…" The two said… "Maa maa. Please sit down. This is gonna be a rough ride." The three looked at Hakkai. "And don't forget to put on your cloaks." He smiled and Hakuryu began to move.
Goku and Gojyo grinned. "Hakkai meant… Ahem, 'Reika don't forget to put on your cloak or you'll get sick. I don't want you to get sick.'" Gojyo mimicked Hakkai… "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" The two laughed hysterically. Suddenly they were flying through the sky. "How many times do I have to tell you NOT TO DO THAT?!" Reika shouted as she returned her hand inside her cloak and bowed her head.
The two landed on the ground. "Yare Yare. I told you not to make her angry." Hakkai sweat dropped as he stopped the jeep right in front of the two who had swirling eyes. The two got up and leaned on the jeep. Their hands were on their heads. "Hakkai… Why is everything spinning around?" Goku asked.
"You should get in now." Hakkai whispered. They did. They stared at Reika for a while. "Is she sleeping?" Gojyo asked as they looked at Reika. "I believe so." Hakkai answered. "So it's true that a woman easily gets tired." Suddenly there was a fist in front of him. "I… I was only joking…" He gulped and the fist disappeared.
Suddenly Hakuryu stopped. "Hakkai, what happened?" Gojyo asked as he popped into Hakkai's shoulder. "I don't think we could travel with the jeep anymore. - _ -;" Hakuryu turned back into a dragon and floated towards Hakkai's shoulders. "Nani?! I'm hungry…" Goku whined as he fell on the snow. He received a kick from Gojyo on his back. "Get up monkey!" Goku looked up. "I'm hungry…" Reika kneeled down and smiled at him.
"Come on… We should camp for a while… then we could eat." Goku smiled and stood up with Reika. Hakkai smiled at Reika and she smiled back. "Stupid monkey." Gojyo said. "Nani?! You red-horny-cockroach!" Goku shouted. Gojyo combed his hair with his hand. "Monkey, do you even know what the word 'horny' means?" Goku had big puppy eyes and turned to Sanzo who was lighting a cigarette.
"Saaaanzo…" He whined. "Shut up. Hakkai, let's camp quickly." Sanzo said as he walked towards Hakuryu.

'' '' ''Which no one ever thought I would be caged'' '' ''
They finished building the tent on a place where there was less snow on the ground. Everyone was inside. "It's still cold…" Reika whined as she sat on her mattress with her cloak and another cloak covering her body. "Maa maa." Reika heard from her back, she felt legs on her both side and she felt arms enveloping her. She looked on her back and saw green smiling eyes. "Thank you." She gave out a smile and kissed him.
"Would you two stop that?! You're making me jealous…" "KYU!" Gojyo and Hakuryu whined as Gojyo turned on his opposite side so his back was facing the two. Reika and Hakkai smiled. "One-chan…" Reika turned her attention to the boy in his front. "Yes?" She asked as she smiled. "Would you hug me too?" He asked in a whining way.
Reika and Hakkai smiled. They opened their arms to let the boy in and closed it again. "Is it warm?" She asked as Goku close his eyes while resting the back of his head on her. "Mmmm." He heard the boy answer. "Reika, could you hug me too?" Reika looked up to see Gojyo's glimmering eyes. Reika smiled.
"Gojyo, are you okay?" Reika asked as she saw Gojyo turning as white as a ghost does. ^How white 'is' a ghost? -_-^ She noticed that Gojyo was looking at her back. She slowly looked at her back and saw Hakkai smiling at her. She then turned her attention back to Gojyo. "M… maybe s… some… other time." He mumbled and then quickly lied down with his back facing them.
"Everybody shut up." Reika and Hakkai sweat dropped. "He seems to hear us in his dreams…" Reika whispered as they stared at Sanzo. "Maa maa… Let's lie down. Goku seems sleeping." Hakkai was the first to lie down and then Reika arranged Goku's position and laid him down. She took all of the cloaks and placed them one by one over them. She then lay down. She encircled her right hand around Goku's waist as she felt Hakkai's hand around her. She reached up to his hand with her left and tangled her fingers with his.
"Yuki, Aki… Would you mind guarding the tent? I know you love snows…" She whispered to her phoenixes and then from her view they flew out of the tent.
---------------------------
'' '' ''From the darkest memory I live'' '' ''
"One-chan! One-chan!" A voice whined.
"She seems to be still sleepy, Goku."
"But I want her to see the view that I saw." The voice whined again.
"She will… but later."
"Aaaw…" It whined again.
"I'm sure she will wake up soon."
"Hakkai?"
"Yes?"
"Do you love One-chan?"
"Huh? Why did you ask?"
"I don't know but… She seems to be so happy when she's around you…"
"………………….."
"So? Do you love her or not?"
"Yes, I do."
"Why do you love her?"
"Because… Because…"
"Is it because she looked like you're fiancée? Kina?"
"I'm still searching… and it's Kana."
"Eh? What do you mean 'searching'?" 'Thwack'
"Saaanzo!!!"
"Shut up! Baka-zaru… You ask too much!"
"Oi! Sanzo! Where are you going?!"
"A place where I can't hear you…"
"Oi! I'm coming!"
"Whatever." They seem to have left.
"Hakkai…"
"Mmm?"
"If you ever hurt One-chan… I 'will' remove my band."
"You don't have to… because it's either I'd kill myself or I'll die without her."
"ONE-CHAN!!!"
"Maa maa… Do you remember that your One-chan told you not to make her angry?"
"Yes."
"Then don't force her to wake up…"
"Why?"
"Because she loves sleeping…"
"Oh…"
"We should wait or she might knock us all down…"
After thirty minutes.
"Ouch…"
"One-chan! You're awake!" Goku exclaimed merrily as he hugged her. "Yes, I am." She smiled at Goku and looked behind him. "Oh, Hakkai is out with Sanzo. Gojyo is outside smoking." Goku said as they stood up. "Should we go out?" She asked. "Yeah! The snow is lesser now! The view outside is great!" He shouted as he pulled Reika out of the tent.
As soon as they were outside, they saw smokes. "Gojyo, isn't it a little too early for that?" Reika asked. Gojyo smiled and dropped the cigar on the ground. "Better." Reika smiled and Gojyo sighed.
"One-chan!" Goku whined. "I know… I know… Gojyo would you like to come?"
"Sure. Where to?"
"Goku found a place where we could
see a great view."
"Trust the monkey to do monkey businesses."
"Don't call me monkey!"
"Now… Now…"
"Do you want to fight?!"
"Why you red-horny-cockroach!"
"Please stop…"
---------------------------
'' '' ''There was nothing more I could give'' '' ''
"Sanzo… Help…" Hakkai whined as he sat beside Sanzo on a cliff. "With what?" Sanzo replied as he blew a smoke.
"I don't know what to do…"
"Goku got into you."
"Yes… I guess so…"
"It made you think?"
"Yes… Yes it did."
"He asked you about Kana and Reika?"
"Yes. I still don't know how to play this game."
"Then don't treat it like a game…"
"Huh?"
"Just let it flow."
"Flow…"
"What do you feel?"
"It's different. It's like… she's lifting me up from my past… and she's giving me everything."
"Then why don't you do the same?"
"Because I have nothing more to give…"
"What do you mean?"
"I can't give her my past… I can't give her my pain… I can't give her my sorrows…"
"Why don't you try?"
"I can't do that… I can't let her have 'my' pains and sorrows and… past."
"You haven't even tried."
"I know… but…"
"Why don't you give her something else?"
"Like what?"
"I don't know… Why don't you think about that?" Sanzo threw his cigarette to the cliff and stood up.
"By the way… This place has a great view."
"I know… and they know…"
Hakkai looked at back and saw Gojyo, Goku and… "Reika." He whispered. She waved to him and walked towards him. "Hi! I hope we didn't disturb anything…" She whined as she sat down beside him. "No… it's okay." He replied as he helped her to sit down.
"Isn't it a bit dangerous to sit on a cliff?"
"What do you mean 'a bit'?" Hakkai sarcastically asked.
On the background:
"Saaanzo! I'm hungry!"
"Don't you have a better thing to think of other than food?!"
"What do you mean?!"
"Stupid Monkey!"
"SHUT UP!" Sanzo fires his gun. Again… again… again… and again.
Hakkai and Reika looked at the three. "Maybe we should go to the next village or Sanzo might shoot them for real…" Hakkai sweat dropped. "Yes, we should get to the next village 'but! I doubt that Sanzo would ever shoot them…" Reika smiled and Hakkai looked at her curiously.
She stood up and Hakkai followed.
"Do you want to fight?!"
"Of course! You water-monster-kappa!"
"Guys! We're leaving!"
"Yare yare desu ne."

You found me in my secret place…
Which no one ever thought I would be caged.
From the darkest memory I live,
There was nothing more I could give.
My sister wrote the poem before I started on this fic…
This was made especially for 'my' fic.
She was inspired by Hakkai and Reika's love story…
I would really appreciate the reviews...
Even if it involves curses…
Please review me.
