Author's Notes: Hihi, everyone! I know it's been quite a while since I last updated this story, but my studies were giving me some trouble. Anyway, here's the next 2 chapters. ^_^

2 weeks later

You were playing with Sanzo's blond hair, complaining how hungry you were. Sanzo, however, wasn't even pushing you away like he usually did when you did that.



Gojyo was smirking at the both of you, while Sanzo silently polished his gun while giving him a death glare. 



Me? I was smiling again.

It was only 8 at night. We weren't really tired anyway, so we decided to play mahjong. 


 
Sat around the table.



I was sitting directly across from you with both Gojyo and Sanzo next to me.



We played one whole round with Gojyo winning again. You were determined to beat him, so we started another game.



 We hadn't even noticed that it started to rain.



But then it thundered, and the lights flickered on and off.



You jumped and Sanzo looked at you, disgusted.

"'Ch, baka saru,"

He only said those 3 words. 3 simple words. But those 3 words were filled with such venom that I was shocked. Obviously, so were you. But I had to give you credit. You barely flinched, but pouted just a little.



It was too quiet. Gojyo had obviously noticed the tension and had rushed out, searching for what he said 'beautiful innocent victims'. Sanzo was staring out the window with a crinkled forehead. You were in the corner, shooting dirty looks at Sanzo, knees to your chest.



Finally, Sanzo got up, said that he was tired, took one last look at you, and walked up to the room where he was sleeping that night.



You got up right after the door closed and ran into my arms that were already open.



I loved the familiar smell of his hair, the way his arms wrapped around my back, how he smiled...everything.



He explained everything to me that night.



How much I meant to him. How he always wanted to be with me.



But Sanzo. You loved Sanzo. He was your sun. And you would never love anybody else the way you loved Sanzo. It was a whole other level of love.



You also told me, that if you were hurting me, that I would tell you right away.



But I couldn't. Not with you looking at me like that. I was surprised how much you seemed to know, even though you acted so innocent, so…sweet.



I told you that it was okay. That I was here for the comfort, here if he ever wanted anything other than Sanzo.



You smiled at me, kissed me hungrily, smiled again, thanked me, and fell asleep.



I just couldn't tell you that I loved you. That I would never love anybody else the way I loved you. It was a whole other level of love.



I just gloated inwardly at the fact that I would always have you during one thing that Sanzo wouldn't.



Storms.
