"Out." Sanzo said. It was plain to hear that when Sanzo used this voice,
he meant business.
Gojyo was about to protest but stopped as Hakkai started to usher his out of the room.

Hearing the door slowly shut from behind him, he waited for a few moments while the footsteps receded. He slowly turned and fixed his gaze on Goku. He watched Goku's chest rise and fall with every effort of taking a breath. Hearing the wheezing sound every time he exhaled caused Sanzo to almost wince to see and hear that Goku was in pain and struggling. Finally after deliberating with his mind for a while, he sauntered over to Goku's side and knelt down. He hesitantly lifted up his hand and placed it on Goku's forehead and brushed away the strands of hair, plastered on his sweat- drenched forehead. Lingering on Goku's forehead, he judged the temperature the saru was burning up to. He then eyed the basin filled with cool water, placed at the stand next to the bed with a cloth specifically to cool the fevered person. Sanzo stood up, grabbed the cloth, dunked it in the cool water, wrung the excess water from it, and gently placed it on Goku's forehead. Sanzo gave a sigh, now there was nothing more to do but wait.
Gojyo and Hakkai had took to roaming the streets after Sanzo had chased them out. Gojyo, with his head leaning on his hands which were interlocked behind his head to enable him to look casual, but still look appealing to the numerous girls out there that evening, gave a slight seductive smile to the nearest girl that had been eyeing him and asked,
"Hakkai, how to you think that baka saru would fare under that cold hearted bastard's care?"
"He's not exactly cold hearted, you saw that this afternoon."
"Well. fine. but he's still mostly a bastard, three hours doesn't change what he has done a whole lifetime."
"You must understand, Gojyo, that Sanzo has a past too. Something terrible must have happened to him that made him build up these walls around his heart."
"Walls around his heart eh?. Walls that only that baka saru can breach?" Gojyo answered with a bemused grin that caused several girls to swoon.
". only Goku can breach them." Hakkai repeated ponderously.
