~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A pleasant day....it would be, if it wasn't for the rain! Hakkai, Gojyo and Goku is out (which is VERY rare), and I'm all ALONE in this room..how pleasant....now, I'm sitting beside the window pane, watching the raindrops dropping one by one, into the pond nearby. Raindrops, what a name, who would even care about calling them raindrops? Rain, why do I hate it so much? Oh, yeah, the cursed day....but I don't seem to hate the rain the days before.....the days which I don't seem to remember....it was a long time ago....ah, yes......the days when houshi-sama and I were together...the days before before that horrible incident...the days when I was once known as Koryuu, the river drifter.....
"Koryuu, the river drifter, ne?" Koumyo Sanzo said to Sanzo (I'll start calling him Koryuu from now on to avoid misunderstanding. These are ALL Sanzo's POV. Back to the story...)
"Ch~" Koryuu said, putting on a frown, but was soon brushed away by his dear master, which was non-other than Koumyo Sanzo.
"Are you offended by this nickname that the others gave you? I can ask them to stop calling you that if you don't like it. I understand...it's hard for you to communicate with the others, Koryuu," Koumyo said, smiling.
"Iie. Kankenai yo. Betsuni, ano namae wa chotto suki desu. Warui jya nai yo! (No. I don't mind. Actually, I sorta like this name a bit. It's not that bad.)" Koryuu said, looking up from the pile of leaves he's been sweeping.
"Sou desuka," Koumyo said, with a smile.
"Sou yo!" Koryuu said, with a re-assuring smile. Then, he noticed something orange sticking out of his master's robes. "Are wa nan desuka? (What's that?)" Koryuu said, pointing to the orange piece.
"Kore?" his master said, taking the piece of orange. "A paperplane."
"Huh?" Koryuu said, slightly confused.
"I'm no good in preaching, the only thing I'm good at is folding paperplanes," Koumyo said, smiling.
Koryuu doesn't believe what he just heard coming out of his master's lips. It was as if the passing breeze was bringing the words from his master's lips to Koryuu's ears.
"You may not believe me, but remember this, anyone in this world will lie to you, but not me," Koumyo said, with a smile.
"Hai, wakarimashita, houshi-sama! But then, what to do you preach then?" Koryuu said, still looking confused.
"I only preach on one thing in my whole life," Koumyo answered.
"Which is?"
"Vanity in vanities."
"That's all?" Koryuu asked.
His master ignored the question and continued, "Kill Buddha as you meet him, kill your father when you meet him," while folding the piece of orange paper, completed folding, and flew it into the sky.
"Hai. I'll remember your words forever in my heart," Koryuu said with a nod.
"Kirei na, Koryuu.(Isn't it beautiful?) The orange colour suits with the blueness of the sky," Koumyo said, and left.
"Hai, totemo kirei desu. (Yes, very indeed.)," Koryuu whispered softly, and looked back. But his mater isn't there anymore.
Then, he noticed the paperplane flying over the fence down the hill, he ran trying to get the paperplane, but tripped on a root of a tree, and fell, and got a cut on his left arm. He looked at he paperplane helplessly, ignoring the pain in his hand, still on the ground.
"I must learn to fold a paperplane, I MUST!" he told himself, and tried to stand up.
"Koryuu! What happened?" he heard his master's voice from his back.
"I thought you went in," Koryuu said.
"Just came out to check on you. What happened?" his master said, looking at Koryuu's cut.
"It's okay. Just a small cut," Koryuu said, trying to be tough.
After he said that, the rain suddenly poured heavily.
"Ouch!" Koryuu winced when the raindrops fell on his cut.
"See? Let's go in, and let me see your cut!" Koumyo said with his usual smile and covered their heads with the sleeves of his robes. Koryuu smiled and went in together with his master.
(Back to reality...Sanzo)
That was one of the happy "rainy" moments with houshi-sama.....Sanzo sighed with a smile, but soon faded.
To be continued...
