"Oi, Sanzo… I've heard from the manager that you've got a new girlfriend. Great… So the Ice Monk ain't cold anymore!" Gojyo said as Sanzo stepped into the inn's restaurant for breakfast that morning, "So tell me, what's your girl's name?"
"Hmph… Why should I tell a bastard like you?" Sanzo casted a glare on the redhead half-demon.
"Heh. I can give you tips. I'm a professor of love." Gojyo purred as he lit a cigarette.
"Smoking in the morning's bad for your health, Gojyo…" Hakkai smiled as he entered the scene with Goku trailing behind him.
"Oi, Goku, Hakkai, have you heard about Sanzo-sama's new girlfriend?" Gojyo said, exaggerating the word 'girlfriend' for emphasis.
Goku's eyes swiftly turned to Sanzo, "You've got a girlfriend? Sanzo!! Can I meet her?"
Hakkai only smiled at Sanzo. Sanzo sighed and whapped both of the pestering men on the head with his harisen as he had always done.
"Maa, maa… It's rude to interfere with other people's personal lives, Goku, Gojyo…" Hakkai gently admonished the two who had their heads recently whipped by the harisen.
"Fuck you, bouzou! You've ruined a perfect morning once again!" Gojyo growled as he retreated to his seat only to be knocked off it by a flying harisen, "You're not supposed to throw that, you fuckin' monk!!"
"Oops… My hand slipped." Sanzo said sarcastically.
"Itai daaaaa…" Goku wailed as he took his seat beside Hakkai, "Hakkai, Sanzo's being such a bully!"
"Daijoubu, Goku. Isn't this the usual Sanzo?" Hakkai smiled gently as he patted the heretic's head, "At least he isn't acting strange. Well then, Sanzo… Let's go take our orders!"
"I want all the dumplings on the menu!!" Goku cheered.
After breakfast, the four continued their journey to the west. This time, they had to take a little detour to the north due to a landslide blocking off most of the westward path and so the climate slowly began to turn colder. Fortunately, they were able to reach a nearby town made for people going north. The ikkou checked in to an inn and began their trek around town with Gojyo searching for girls as usual, Goku and Hakkai shopping for supplies and Sanzo staying indoors reading his newspaper but unfortunately for him, Hakkai had asked him to do him a favor and buy him a new dress for the colder climate. Hakkai had given his green dress to Sanzo in case he needed the size.
"So you need a new dress for your girlfriend?" The shop owner asked Sanzo.
"Yes. About this size." Sanzo handed the dress to the man. He analyzed the size and nodded.
"What color would you like it in?"
"… Lavender."
The shop owner called for his assistant to bring him the best dresses in lavender. In a few minutes, Sanzo was shown five different designs all in lavender fit for the cold weather they would be trekking. After several moments of decision-making, Sanzo finally chose two dresses that complimented Hakkai's personality perfectly. Sweet, kind and romantic. For a little diversion he asked the man to change the other dress to a pale shade of blue.
Sanzo got out of the shop as soon as he had bought the dresses. He definitely couldn't go around being seen with those bags. But before he could go back to the inn, he stopped in front of a jewelry store and went in to buy a golden barrette for Hakkai.

"Ahh!! Suteki!!" Hakkai smiled as he tried on the dresses later that night as Kana. Fortunately, the two were sleeping in another room while Hakkai and Sanzo stayed in their own room. Both fit perfectly and kept him warm despite the almost freezing climates.
"Hakkai, I have something to give you…" Sanzo said as he brought out a velvet case.
"I know it's jewelry…" Hakkai laughed as he took the case. He opened it and took out the barrette, "Sanzo… You shouldn't have… It looks so beautiful…"
"Disguises, disguises… This'll only make it more convincing." Sanzo smirked as
he clipped the barrette in place. Hakkai looked at him in his complete disguise.
Shy eyes hidden by fake eyelashes; face powdered and made-up, lips shimmering
with gloss… Hakkai was a convincing innocent maiden.
"You look beautiful…"
"You always say that, Sanzo…" Hakkai kissed his lover softly like he always did. Of course they didn't take their relationship too seriously yet.
"C'mon… Let's go out now… I'm gonna treat you out for dinner in that fancy restaurant I've spotted on my way to the dressmaker's."
"Hai, hai…"
And so the two made their escape, making sure that neither Goku nor Gojyo was awake. Unfortunately, the closing of his door awakened Gojyo.
"Hm… Sanzo must be making sure I don't catch him and his girlfriend, eh? We'll see about that…" Gojyo got out of bed and put on his clothes.
Meanwhile, as Gojyo started to track down the couple, Hakkai and Sanzo took their seats in the restaurant, Hakkai wearing the lavender dress Sanzo had bought him earlier together with the golden barrette.
"Sanzo, why are you giving me all of these?" Hakkai asked.
Sanzo sighed and leaned back, "Heh. It's easier to give you gifts when people see you as a girl. Then it's harder for them to think that you and me are actually…"
"Homosexual?" Hakkai whispered.
"Not really…" Sanzo whispered back, "More of… scandalously in love."
"Oh…" Hakkai smiled as he understood. Dinner was set before them. It was so lavish that Goku would just die to have dinner like that for once.
"Ne, Sanzo…"
"Yes, Kana?"
"Do you think Goku would be jealous if he knew we were eating here?"
"That is if he finds out. And besides that, it's too expensive to feed that damned monkey."
"Well then, what do we do after dinner?"
Sanzo paused and pondered what to do, "… How about a walk through the town? At least there isn't a festival going on."
"Sounds good." Hakkai smiled, "Then can we end it up in the park?"
"Sure. Anything you want, Kana…" Sanzo said as he twined his fingers with Hakkai's.
So they went on with their rendezvous. Hakkai holding hand with his lover as they made their way to the park. People looked at them as usual, speaking of how sweet they looked and how beautiful Sanzo's brunette lover was. Like always, no one ever knew that Sanzo's 'girlfriend' was actually Hakkai.
Finally they stopped at the park. Hakkai found a vacant bench and beckoned Sanzo to sit beside him. Sanzo wrapped his arms around Hakkai and drew him close to his chest. Hakkai pressed his hand against the back of Sanzo's to give him his first long passionate kiss.
Their whispers of 'I love you' and names were inaudible from a distance and both fortunately and unfortunately, Gojyo watched them from a distance where he was both unseen yet couldn't hear whatever they whispered to each other.
"Ohh… Now I've seen her… That Sanzo's got a good catch. What a hot lady he has there!" Gojyo snickered as he watched the lover's scene.
