GOING UNDER.

DISCLAIMER: Oh, gosh! I nearly forgot to put disclaimer. So, here goes, I do not own Saiyuki. I just own Misty Meira @ Meira.

A/N: Thank you to those who reviewed my story (give them a load of Saiyuki posters)

It's over and done

But the heartache lives on inside

And who is the one you're clinging instead of me tonight

And where are you now

Now that I need you

Tears on my pillow wherever you go

Cry me a river that leads to your ocean

You never see me fall apart…

~ Emotion by Destiny's Childs ~

            The voice is gone; she did not call me anymore, whispered Sanzo as he gazed out of the window, watching the town's people passing by. There's so much I wanted to ask you, he turned around and sit on the edge of the bed, like what is your name, where are you from, why you were alone in the forest, he touched to woman's lovely face with the tip of his index finger and admired her complexion, but what's more important is why did you call me?

            Slowly, the woman fluttered open her mysterious blue eyes, "Where am I?"

            "You're safe here. We're in a town not far from the forest we met you," replied Sanzo while lighted his cigarette.

            "You saved me. Arigato," she thanked him politely.

            "What's your name?" he watched the woman tried to sit up straight. He helped her.

            "Meira," she said shortly.

            "Meira only?" asked Sanzo.

            "I'm an orphan. I don't know my surname," her expression changed from grateful to deeply sad.

Her blue eyes began to fill with tears. Suddenly, he felt aches in his heart to see her like that. He wanted to reach her and console her. He wanted to hug her and tell her that everything is going to be fine. He wanted to kiss her pain away.

Why do I feel this way? He began to question himself. Then, he forgot about all the questions that needed her answer as their eyes met. Lavender met ocean blue.

They began to feel that their bodies were aching for each other's touch. Their faces were now an inch apart. Hearts began to beat wildly.

I never feel this way before, Sanzo's right hand lifted up Meira's face and his left hand was at the back of her head. Meira clasped her hands around Sanzo's waist tightly. And then they kissed passionately, blowing each other's mind. Am I in love? Sanzo asked himself once again. She is so intoxicating, Sanzo deepened his kiss a little bit and Meira obliged. She let Sanzo's tongue traveled her sweet cave and both of them fell on the bed gracefully.

No, this is not happening, Goku backed away from the door. He tried very hard to hold the tears from trickling down his cheeks. He stormed out of the motel and ran aimlessly along the path. He ignored all the people who looked at him in bewilderment. Finally, he stopped running. He sat under a shady tree and stared at the scenery in front of him. Apparently, his legs had brought him to the most beautiful lake he had ever seen.

The moon shone brightly and stars seemed winked at him. He stared at his own reflection and smiled sadly. Running away, is that all you can do?  He scolded himself for being so weak. He hated to run away when he could not handle something. Or someone.

Sanzo had skipped dinner that night. He said he wanted to accompany the woman. Then, Gojyo and Hakkai had gone to bed very early. Nothing much to do, he went to his own single room and tried to get some sleep. He thought about sanzo's weird behaviour. First, he seemed to be attracted to Meira. Then, he asked for three rooms, one for Hakkai and Gojyo, one for Goku and one for Sanzo and Meira. That's weird, more like paranormal, he thought.

It was not just about Sanzo that had been bothering him, Meira too. Why did a woman wandered around in the forest alone? Why are there no injuries whereas she had been attacked by twenty demons?  He knew that he should not accused people bluntly, but there was something evil about her. He also had learned to trust his instinct and his instinct is telling him to be careful. He still remembered the incident where he had put his trust on the two little monks and ate the Ninjikan seeds. The trust that nearly put his own life in danger. It was a painful lesson by Sanzo. Now, he only trusted himself and his companions. Feeling that he should tell someone about his thoughts, he went to Hakkai's and Gojyo's room.

"Hakkai, can I talk to you?" Goku went in without even knocking.

Hakkai's cheek was flushed red and so was Gojyo. Goku had caught them in the most embarrassing situation. Gojyo was half naked and was straddling Hakkai! There was an awkward silence. Then, Goku mumbled a quick apology and closed the door to their relief.

"Goku, matte," Hakkai tried to push Gojyo away but the red hair pinned him down.

"Leave him, beautiful. He can talk to you later," Gojyo began to plant butterfly kisses on Hakkai's neck.

"But he seemed very serious and that's definitely not Goku's style."

"Maybe he just wanted midnight snacks or something involving food. Besides what could be more important than this," with that he leaned forward and gave Hakkai a French kiss.

"Guess I have to tell Sanzo," muttered Goku to himself and went to Sanzo's room.

The door was slightly ajar. He peeked inside and he saw Sanzo was talking to someone. Meira is awake. Maybe I should tell him letter to avoid any suspicions from Meira. Then, he turned around to go back to his room. Suddenly, he heard a faint cry. Someone was crying, he stopped dead in his track and turned back slowly. What greeted him was more that he could take. He saw Sanzo and Meira kissing each other affectionately.

Wait the second; did Meira just smiled evilly at me? Did she saw me just now? Was I imagining things? He did not bother to answer all those question. He just feels that he needed to disappear now. He needed to run fast. And so he ran away.

And here I am, sitting under a tree and pitying myself, he groaned silently. The tears would not stop no matter how many times he told himself not to cry. They fell silently on his cheeks. I am a fighter, and fighters never cry!  He closed his tired eyes and rested his head against the huge tree.

At the Konran Tower:

            "It looks like she had succeeded in her plan A," commented Zeon. A cigarette dangled loosely at the corner of his mouth.

            "Aa," replied Shien.

            "It's time for me to pay a visit to Son Goku," Toushin Homura Taishi announced to his faithful subordinates. You're mine, Son Goku.

Somewhere over the rainbow a.k.a Heaven:

            "Kanzeon Bosatsu, it looks like their fate is changing," said Jiroushin.

            "Baka, if destiny can be changed, it wouldn't be called as destiny," replied Kanzeon Bosatsu coolly. Homura, do you really think you can alter the destiny? If fate can be altered, those two will never be united on the first place. Now, after 500 hundred years, fate brought them back. And their bond is stronger than ever. Witness it, Homura. Witness it. That's what a god supposed to do.

            Goku realized that he was not alone. He snapped his eyes open and sharpen his senses. Then, he saw bright orange like coming from the sky. Then, it formed a shape of a man with fiery fire surrounding him. His feet barely touched the surface of the lake. He glided gracefully towards Goku. Goku is now up and readied with his fighting stance. He recognized the man. He recognized him so well. Homura!

A/N: Again, I left you with a cliffhanger and forgive me I there is any grammar mistake. And sorry for the late update. I was trying to make it longer. All comments and flames are welcomed.
