Title: Still Time
Chapter 4: Conclusion
Far off in the west, a white dragon was flying purposefully towards a great building surrounded by nondescript shadows. It landed and perched on the shoulder of a man with a white lab jacket.
"Kyu!" the small dragon chirped.
The man seemed to understand the dragon's speech as he nodded and strode inside the building.
"Oh well," he said lightly. "There goes the last true dragon on this earth. What a waste."

A month later, the dreaded bill had arrived in the House of The Three Aspects. One of them was examining the bill while at the same time trying not to look closely at the numbers. The first time they received their credit card bill, it was quite a shock and quickly learnt that it was a big mistake to entrust the gold credit card into the blonde haired monk's hand.
"How is it?" asked One Aspect, hoping against all previous evidence that the bill would be somewhat reasonable this month.
"It's...," the One holding the bill in her hand was hesitating. "Amazing."
"What?"
"It's less than last month's bill," stated the female Aspect.
"What?" chorused the other two Aspects.
It was the first occurrence of the bill not being bigger than the month before, which shocked the Three Aspects immensely.
"I think it's because," the female Aspect traced the bill with her finger. "They seemed to cut down the accommodation expenses."
"How?"
"They seemed to rent three bedrooms, not four in many of the occasion here."
"Sometimes two rooms," added the bewildered Aspect.
"I wonder why?" she asked the other two.
The three of them exchanged glance and then shrugged.
"It is a good thing," decided one of them, which earned the agreement of the others.
"Let's just hope they keep this up."

It's been two months since that dragon incident. Hakkai pulled off his shirt, folded it carefully and placed it on the chair beside the bed.
"Why do you like wearing green?" asked Sanzo from the bed.
Hakkai strode towards the power point on the wall and turned off the light.
"People say it brings out the colour of my eyes." He grinned in the dark.
Then he put himself next to the slender body of the monk. He felt himself at ease. Sanzo pulled him closer and placed butterfly kisses all over his neck and shoulder. Hakkai stifled a moan from escaping. Sanzo was on top of him now, looking at him in the dark. He could feel the monk's gaze and the monk's hands on his bare chest. He placed his hand to caress the side of Sanzo's beautifully sculpted face, tenderly.
"What about you, Sanzo?" he asked.
"What about me?"
"What's your favourite colour?"
Sanzo hadn't expected this but he smiled. Hakkai wouldn't be able to see him in the dark.
"Green," he answered.
Hakkai chuckled softly.
