Minna-sama! Here's chapter eight. Ano, I know chapter seven was rather

chapter nine actually. Might be out by tomorrow I think. Mou, I'm too fast
for my own good ne?
Hanei's reply:
To Evantine (your mails just make me wanna type the entire fic out ^_^) : Well..no there ain't anymore of 'that' scenes between Goku and Sanzo.......just kidding!!! Harhar...anyway I totally suck at kissing scenes (as much as I suck writing scenes). Action is so much better than words *Sighhhh* Aw.. Give poor Houmei a little credit. She is after all Goku's girlfriend for three-years ne?
Thanks to all those that had spent a little time reviewing.

The Only One
Chapter Eight
By Hanei Tamashii
A few days had passed since the last outing she and Goku had had. Houmei noticed Goku was acting a little strange lately. For one, he was quiet. The boy was never quiet! She could see through the fake smiles he gave her lately and the genki shows that he put up for her.
*Sigh*
What was happening to him? The most evident incident happened yesterday, which proved to Houmei that Goku was definitely not himself. They were out in the mansion's private gardens. The North Wing garden, right below Goku's room. No one was around. Not even Goku's personal bodyguard, the man called Genjo Sanzo. Attacks had decreased in the past few days and the most worrying thing that had taken place was that a maid had nearly burnt a hole through Goku's socks (don't ask me how). So, there they were all alone in the garden. Usually, Goku would just pounce at the opportunity and did the little making out that they hadn't been doing lately. But yesterday, as they kissed, Goku abruptly pulled back and muttered "Gomen nasai" before running back into the mansion. She could feel that they were getting more and more distant by the day. What had gone wrong?
So here she was, taking a walk in the art gallery. Goku wasn't with her, he said he wasn't feeling up to it. Houmei felt that she had had enough of his sudden change in attitude and decided to take a break from him. Maybe a little distance was what they need. She honestly didn't know. She walked along the marble corridors of the gallery, stopping once in awhile to admire a painting or a sculpture. She loved art immensely, as much as she loved cooking and as much as she loved Goku. She halted. No, she wasn't sure about the 'loving Goku' part anymore.
Too deep in thought, she didn't notice the boy right in front of her and collided into him. Luckily, the boy had caught her in his arms before she took both of them down.
"Ah! Gomen nasai! Honto ni gomen nasai! It was my fault, I didn't look where I was going. I..."
"Ano, Uemasu-san?"
Houmei was greeted with an all too familiar face. "Hinata-san?!"
Goku, slumped on the seat. He was having his fourth piano lessons with Hakkai (hanei: Hakkai! You're alive!!) and the sensei had made him play the freaking scales for the past one hour. His fingers were beginning to ache. (hanei: Hm... actually I honestly can't picture the thought of Goku playing the piano ^_^)
"Hakkai!!!" Goku moaned. "Mou yadda! My fingers are aching already! And I'm..."
~GROWL~
"Hungry!"
Hakkai laughed at the boy. He glanced at his watch, "Saa, since you have already been at A minor for the past fifteen minutes and have not mastered it yet.. we'll continue for another fifteen minutes in your next lesson and I'll teach you to play this beautiful piece I composed! Ne?"
-_-;
"Hai!"
"Well ok then, I guess we'll stop here for today." Hakkai snapped the progress book shut. Goku remained seated by the grand piano, eyebrows furrowed by some unseen troubles. Hakkai looked worriedly at the boy who had went silent all of a sudden.
"Goku? Is there anything wrong?"
Goku bit his bottom lips. He wondered.. should he consult in the older man? He did after all have lots of experience and was just so easy to approach, Goku couldn't help but feel like telling him all his troubles.
"Ano..Hakkai," Goku finally asked shakily. "Do you have someone that you love?"
He lifted a brow. It was rather unusual for the young master to look so glum and asking a serious question at that. Hakkai took a seat beside Goku.
"Is it the girl? Houmei? Did you two have a fight?" Hakkai asked, genuinely concerned.
A red blush stained the boy's cheeks. "Ano.. ano..."
Hakkai gave a small smile and decided to spare the boy from humiliation. Absent mindedly, he toyed with a few keys of the piano. His voice sounded old, filled with longing as he answered Goku's question. "Well, I come from a village far east actually, its very far from Changan.." Goku looked up at the man who suddenly went serious. "We knew each other ever since we were babies," Hakkai smiled to himself. "She had the sweetest smile, the most generous heart. *She was like the elder sister I never had and my lover as well*. I truly loved her," he said sadly.[hanei: * was sorta taken from the anime]
"Hakkai, you don't have to you know."
Hakkai gave his usual smile. "Iie, I like thinking of her. Well anyway, we were engaged but before the wedding could take place, her whole family vanished without a trace...and I have been searching ever since."
Goku savored every word. The room was quiet except for the few notes Hakkai was playing absently.
"What was her name?"
"... Kanan." Goku softly repeated the name after Hakkai.
"Saa, so did that help you?" Hakkai suddenly asked, the ghost of his past gone.
Another blush. "Ano..Hakkai, how can you tell the difference between love and lust?"
Hakkai was unprepared for that one. He would think that the eighteen- year-old should know that by now. What should he say?
"Gomen ne! But I don't know about all this stuff! It's really hard to know when you spent your entire life with a bunch of book worms you know... I know I love Houmei...but lately I can't help feel like we're growing apart....well that's my fault anyway."
The bespectacled man knew when it wasn't his place to question. So he did his best to advice the boy. "Goku, the best thing to do in matters of love is to follow your heart."
"Heart?" The boy looked confused.
"Hai, heart..." before Hakkai could continue however, his pager went off.
"Ara, I've got an emergency at the clinic. Honto ni sumimasen! We'll continue this another day ne?"
"Iie. It's enough. Arigatou." Goku saw Hakkai to the door.
Goku threw himself on his comfortable four-post bed. He buried his face into the softness of the fluffy white pillows and let out a miserable sigh. The talk he had with Hakkai was still fresh in his mind. 'Follow your heart...' What had he meant? Goku closed his eyes trying to shut the memory that was sneaking into his mind. Four nights ago, the living room... the kiss.. *Blush* He felt for his cheeks, it felt warm. He had been doing that a lot lately, blushing. And it always happens when his thoughts starts to drift off to a certain bodyguard which Goku had not seen ever since that fateful night. Unconsciously, his fingers touched his lips. His chest tightened. The kiss was still clearly vivid in the chambers of his mind. His smell, his taste...who could forget? Goku gave a frustrated cry. He had vowed to wipe out that memory completely but all he managed to do was think of it all the time. No! He couldn't have liked it! Wouldn't it mean he was...*Gulp* gay? He abruptly sat up. What would otou-san say?! What would his long dead okaa-san say? What about Houmei? What about the future Son generation???? [hanei: -_-; Ano Goku-san seems to be a little too ahead in thinking.]
"Argh!" Lately, it seemed that he was using his brain a lot. The gears shouldn't be rusty, but he still never got the answer that he wanted.
'It was a mistake.....' Goku's heart bled a little remembering Sanzo's final sentence before leaving him. 'Was it really? A mistake?' He was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in." Goku got off the bed. Sanzo's replacement peered into the room.
"Goku-sama, Houmei-san just returned and wants to see you in the gardens."
Goku gave the man a smile. "Arigatou."
Sanzo stood by the balcony of his private room, smoking away. Son Tokei had let out the East Wing rooms for all security personnel. He stayed in the room entire day avoiding the boy, he didn't want to get too close to him and had requested to Son Tokei to make him part of the ordinary security personnel instead. He managed to get his way around by assuring Son Tokei his replacement was better than him (which wasn't true). Son Tokei, who had the safety of his son as his top priority had hastily agreed. Since attacks had lessened considerably, here he was, cigarette in hand staring at nothing in particular. Sanzo, being better at shoving a foreign feeling aside unlike Goku, had left the memories of that night untouched. So he had kissed the boy, so what? He had already said it was a bloody mistake. A bloody mistake due to an alcoholic beverage called beer.
A flash of blue caught his eyes. 'So, the lovely lady has appeared,' Sanzo smirked to himself. He eyed the girl in the gardens. She looked worried, constantly smoothing out the creases of her dress whilst pacing back and forth. A part of him wanted to just get back into the room and maybe grab a car and speed off to nowhere, but another part of him wanted to stay. He was secretly hoping to catch a glimpse of the girl's price charming whom he had not seen for the last four days. How was the saru? Was that replacement of his good enough? Sanzo's eyes darkened. 'Well... he better be. Or he wouldn't know what would hit him'
"Houmei!"
Sanzo turned his attention to the boy. It seemed ridiculous, but he regretted a little for not being able to play the part of his personal bodyguard anymore. The seemingly omniscient gold eyes (he knew better), the tousled chocolate hair, the golden bronze skin....
"Ceh." He couldn't believe it. After having lived for twenty-three years, here he was, letting his hormones go out of hand, lusting over a boy five years younger than he was. Why was he attracted to that boy anyway? Did it started from that day in the park? He remembered feeling as though he was being watched. He instantly knew who it was. He would shoot himself before admitting this to anyone but Sanzo had felt just a hint of nervousness under the boy's golden stare. He recalled feeling this way with only one other person in his life who was now safely buried in the cemetery next to the shrine. His shishou. But Sanzo knew that the park incident wasn't the only thing egging his attraction for the boy....what was it?
She didn't want to do this to him. Anyone but him. However, she remembered what happened in the morning. The changed boy, their similarities, the simple happiness she hadn't felt for such a long time. His smiling, promising face filled her mind as well as the timid kiss they shared. It was all happening so fast! Yet she trusted him, hanging on to his promises as she prepared to face the boy whom she had loved for the past three years.
Houmei was so overwhelmed by her feelings at the moment that she didn't notice a stray brick in her pathway.
"AH!!!!" She fell hard on the ground.
"Itai!" She checked for injuries. Only her palm was scratched and bleeding
"Houmei!!" Goku had found her. He immediately ran to the fallen girl's side.
"Houmei! Daijoubu?!"
'Gomen ne Goku-chan' Houmei looked sadly at the boy as he fussed over her.
"You're injured!" he said lightly touching her hand.
"Iie, It's nothing." 'Nothing...nothing compared to what I'm about to do to you,' her inner voice whispered softly. He helped her up and both walked to the nearby fountain. She timidly stared at him, memorizing his every feature as he cleaned her wound and bandaged it carefully with a handkerchief.
"Goku-chan, I'll be leaving tomorrow."
He stopped whatever he was doing. A breeze gently blew past the couples as a rain of sakura petals glided in the air. Ever so slowly, he took her injured hand and pecked the bandage lightly.
"There, you'll be just fine. Okaa-san always..."
"Goku!" She pulled her hand away. "Didn't you hear me? I said I am leaving tomorrow!" 'Please Goku.. don't make this any harder. You don't love me as much as you did then already ne?'
"Naze?" He finally asked quietly. "Naze? I thought you would stay until we entered Yanagi University together. Doushite?"
Houmei couldn't bear to face him. She looked down at her feet. "Goku, let's stop this act now. You must have noticed that we've grown apart ne?"
"IIE!"
"Goku, listen to me!"
"IIE!!" Goku ran away from her. He wanted to escape from reality, from her, from everything.
Tears blurred her vision. "Gomen nasai Goku-chan."
Sanzo witness the entire incident. From the little kiss to the bandage to the cutting break up. The kiss...his hold on the cigarette tightened. Why hadn't he connected the two before? Why? It was laughable. The still innocent gold eyes, the brown hair, the lack of a motherly figure.....A rush of memories flashed clearly in his mind's eye.
-----------------------------------------------------
Smoldering gold brown eyes gazed into his purple ones. The youth smirked at the child's pathetic attempt to suppress his sobs. He took a seat beside the young one and placed hand around his shoulders.
"Everything takes place for a reason."
"Then I can't wait to grow up!"
"Aa!!! Onii-san! You're injured."
"What the heck are you doing?"
"Okaa-san always gives me a little kiss whenever I hurt to take the pain away! You don't feel any pain ne?"
"Ano, I'll go now onii-san! I hope we'll meet again! You're nice! Ja!"
"Baka...."

Ah!!! This chapter is so sad!!! For Goku anyway. Blame it on the weather, its been so hot lately it's affecting my mood. Gomen ne! But I had to do it sooner or later!
