Sanzo covered his mouth again. The cold air of the outside helped, but he still felt sick. Kasadey cupped her hands over her mouth and shivered. It was oddly cold outside. The winter air was bitter and harsh as they waited for the van to drive up and take them home. A home for the time being at least… "Here, chew on these. She handed Sanzo two Tums.
Hakkai blinked. "I can drive." He mumbled. They all looked at him. "…or not…" he muttered and fixed his glass again.
Kasadey smiled. "No-no, it's fine, but not tonight, I want to get home quickly so we don't run the risk of having Sanzo throw up over the dashboard and make the van stink." He snarled a reply and got in the divers' side door and leaned against the window again. "Shut your eyes and rest." She sighed and brushed his hair back. He snorted and shoved her hand away.
++++++
Goku glanced towards Mia who nodded her head. "See, its working." She grinned. "They're like a married couple already."
Goku blinked. "I don't think Sanzo can get married, he's a monk." Goku mumbled. "Then again, if I say that to him, he'll probably hit me."
She laughed and leaned her head against his shoulder. Goku blushed and wrapped his arm around her. He looked towards Gojyo who smiled and winked at him. Sighing he looked towards Sanzo, what if he did like Kasadey? Not that he'd ever let it ever show, but what if he just happened to? He shut his eyes and rested against Mia and smile on his face. He was content. He didn't wanted to be like Gojyo with women; he wanted to stay with Mia for longer than one night, he wanted to do things other than what Gojyo did with them. He opened his eyes halfway at the next thought…was he in love with her?
Kasadey stared over at Sanzo as he let out hushed breaths of air; he really wasn't feeling good at all. She frowned as they reached the apartment. The lights were out all around them. She shuddered. "I think the powers out." She whined. She looked around and down the street. She shivered and rubbed her arms. Looking towards the thermometer it read minus five. She gritted her teeth. She had a right to be so cold. Hakkai and Gojyo helped Sanzo out and Mia and Goku walked inside together, holding hands.
"Finally back I see." Takeshi nodded. He eyed Goku as he laced his fingers with Mia's hand. He looked towards Sanzo and frowned. "You took Mia clubbing?" He mumbled.
Kasadey bowed her head. "I know, I shouldn't have, but well…" She trailed off and Takeshi nodded.
"It's fine with me; just don't let her mother find out." He shuddered at the very thought. Sumire would have a fit and would be screaming at Mia for hours on end until she swore she'd never go clubbing again.
She shuddered. "Why's it so cold?" She noted Takeshi was in his winter coat.
He grimaced. "Power and heat died about four hours ago. I'd get tons of blankets and share a bed with someone…" he pointed towards Sanzo and the others. Her face flushed.
She grinned. "I'm sure Mia and Goku will enjoy that as well." Takeshi's completion aged by ten years and his color was chalk-white.
He narrowed his eyes and glared towards Kasadey. "That's cute…real cute." He sneered. "Okay, fine. If she comes back and I feel something is different about my little girl, you and the four…" he growled. "You're all out of here."
She blinked before nodding her head. "I'm surprised you're allowing this." She grinned looking towards them. "He's a very sweet kid, I'll hang him myself if he hurts her."
Takeshi sighed, rubbing his face. He was tired and needed sleep. "I'm going to bed."
She smiled. "Tell Sumire I say hello." She waved and she darted inside the elevator as the doors slid shut.
++++++
Sanzo walked to the couch as they got inside Kasadey's apartment and flopped down. He sighed and shut his eyes and rubbed his face before sitting up. "We're sharing rooms to stay warm." Kasadey piped. "The heat and power are out, so either we share beds, or freeze to death in the night."
Mia's eyes widened and she bowed her head and looked towards Goku. His head was bowed and his cheeks were flushed. She looked at Hakkai, Gojyo and Sanzo who equally stared back at her. "Cards it is then…" Gojyo looked towards Kasadey who nodded and grabbed a pack off of the top of the refrigerator. "Okay then, highest card gets to spend a night in bed with our lovely kidnapper." He cooed.
Kasadey blushed. "Don't get any ideas…" She hissed. They looked at her before they each drew a card.
Sanzo looked at his card and cringed. "The ace of spades!" Gojyo grinned.
Hakkai arched an eyebrow. "Black and white Joker." He mused and showed them the card. They turned to Sanzo who's face had paled again.
"Colored Joker." he mumbled. He turned and eyed Kasadey who nodded her head.
She smiled. "Well, as long as you aren't throwing up on me, I'm fine with that." She mused.
"You two get all the extra blankets then." She pointed to Hakkai and Gojyo who nodded and walked towards her closet and starred at all the sheets and blankets that she had.
Goku pushed past them and walked over to Kasadey who was heading towards her room. "Kasadey…" he trailed off.
She turned back. "What about Mia and me?" he mumbled.
She blinked remembering that they were staying together. "You touch her, you're dead." She smiled. "Blankets are in the closet. Tell them you two are sharing three." He looked towards Mia and blushed at the thought and walked towards the others and tugged out three large blankets for them to share.
++++++
Sanzo knocked on Kasadey's door. She opened it and let him in. "God, its cold in here." She shuddered. She was dressed in a t-shirt and fuzzy black pants. Sanzo was dressed in a pair of sweats that Jack had tossed at him, and a t-shirt.
He nodded and fell onto her bed and pulled the covers over his shoulders. She smiled weakly and grabbed two more blankets and covered them on top of him. "Try anything, and you're going outside." She ordered.
"I'd rather be outside." He hissed. He grimaced as she crawled over top of him and buried herself next him. She shivered repeatedly; he gritted his teeth and glared towards the back of her head. "Will you stop?" He muttered as she turned off the bedroom light. He really hated this, why didn't he just get up? Why didn't he toss her out? The questions came one after the other with no answer.
"I can't help it." Her only warmth came along a small portion of her back that was pressed against his right arm. Sanzo rolled onto his back and growled. "Are you feeling any better?"
He didn't answer at first. "If you weren't shivering I might be able to tell—" She rolled over and hugged his frame against hers. Her head rested in the crook of his right arm, while her right arm stretched over his torso. Her right leg draped over his right and she sighed, smiling at the new warmth that surrounded her. He gritted his teeth and his fingers gripped on her shoulders tightly. "Get off!" He bellowed.
She narrowed her eyes and shook her head. "No, you wanted me to stop shivering, so I'm holding onto you for warmth! Deal with the shivering and my dead body in the morning, or let me cling to you!" She hissed.
Sanzo shouted out in frustration and let his arms gradually relax. "I hate you." He muttered.
She sighed. "Yet again, your opinion and not anything about yourself." She shook her head in disappointment. "I'm surprised in you; I thought you'd at least tell me something. How about your parents? Are they very religious, is that why you became—"
"Just shut up, and sleep." He muttered. His body was tense again.
She sighed and snuggled into his frame before yawning quietly. "You're warm." She smiled and sighed as his arm landed on her back.
Sanzo held his breath as she started to drift off. She smiled, and sighed clinging to him tightly. He couldn't help but admit her laying on him was keeping him warm, but did he like it…? He shook his head and let his arm rest on her back. It was the only way he'd keep it from falling asleep.
++++++
Gojyo and Hakkai's eyes were wide as they heard Sanzo cry out. "Shit," Gojyo muttered. "Do you think that they're…" he trailed off.
Hakkai shrugged his shoulders. "I doubt she'd get that close to him." He mumbled. "We're work, not play." He grabbed at the blankets her could and laid down nets to Gojyo. "Besides, Sanzo would more that likely kill her before he'd even try sleeping with her.
He frowned. "He already tried to kill her, and failed." Gojyo turned towards the wall. "They're really quiet."
Hakkai sighed. "Most likely because they're sleeping." He closed his eyes and curled his legs towards his chest and sighed at the warmth from all the blankets.
++++++
Mia blushed. She'd borrowed some of Kasadey's cloths to wear to bed. Goku was in a pair of pants and a t-shirt. Wrapping the blankets around Mia, and himself he laid down on the couch with Mia on top of him. He sighed and shut his eyes. His face was bright red. He was thankful it was dark in the room. She slowly rested into his frame, her head against his chest; he knew she could tell his heart was racing. He bowed ran his fingers through her hair. "Goodnight." She leaned forward and kissed him again.
Goku smiled weakly. "Night Mia," he sighed wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.
++++++
Morning came and the light shown through the sliding door windows. Mia yawned and sat up. Smiling she looked down at Goku who had his head turned to the side, his mouth slightly ajar. "Morning…" She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek as Gojyo and Hakkai walked in.
They smirked and walked towards the island and sat down. "Morning you two." They said in unison.
She blushed and laid back down quickly. It was still very cold both inside and outside. "Where's our beautiful cook this morning?" Gojyo wondered. He looked towards her room. "Looks like Sanzo's a bit more unmoral than we thought." He grinned.
Hakkai sighed. "Go check on them if you're so interested in knowing what they're up to." He ordered.
Goku yawned and sat up along with Mia. "Monkey, go check on your master and see if he's up yet or not..."
He gritted his teeth. "I'm not a monkey, water-sprite!" He hissed. Gojyo sighed and pointed towards Kasadey's room. Goku got up in a huff and stormed off towards Kasadey's room. He slowed down as he reached the door. "…Sanzo…?" he whispered. His golden eyes widened as he saw the sight before him. Kasadey lay nestled in Sanzo's arms, his head rested against hers, and his arms locked around her lower waist. He shut the door and ran out into the kitchen. "They-they…!" He grabbed Mia and held her in his arms like Sanzo had been, except they were still standing up.
Hakkai coughed. Gojyo blinked. "Were they dressed?" He arched an eyebrow towards the room. Goku nodded.
++++++
Sanzo's eyes drifted open. He shivered, his face was cold. Yawning, he rolled to the right and turned Kasadey over with him. He sat up quickly and his face flushed. He gritted his teeth and shook his head. He didn't let her sleep in his arms all night, did he? He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and stared at her as he rested his head into her pillow. She slept quickly, her soft lips parted, her bangs hung in her eyes. He shuddered and moved a little closer the lack or warmth wasn't comforting in the least.
Giving up all hope he moved against her and rested his head in the cook of her left arm and did the same she had to him. His eyes were dull and lifeless. He wet his lips and shut his eyes tightly before relaxing in her arms. A smile crossed both their faces weakly. "Morning," she whispered. Her left arm landed on his back like he had done to her.
Sanzo reeled back and narrowed his eyes in disgust. "What the hell did you do? Roll me into your arms while sleeping?" He cringed. She sat up with a wide grin across her face.
"I was awake." She sighed. "You're very gentle…" She teased. His face crinkled and he felt awkward. "Relax; I didn't mind…it was sweet."
He shook his head and began to get up. She grabbed his hand and tugged him back down. "Stop it." He warned. She shook her head. She was always testing him, not caring how angry he became…
"Close your eyes." She ordered him. He arched an eyebrow up at her. "Now." She hissed. He rolled his eyes and did as she asked. Her fingers reached up and raked through his blonde locks. "Where did your eye color go?" She sighed. "You all have different eye colors, Hakkai's is the only one that I've seen in this time that's still natural…but your eyes Sanzo they're so…" His violet eyes slid open. He was becoming very relaxed from the way she was running her fingers through his hair. His lips parted slightly. "Beautiful." She smiled and bowed her head.
He turned away and looked towards the door. "Orphan," he mumbled. "I was an orphan, I was found in a river, floating in a basket. A local temple found me, and I was brought up there." He blandly spoke.
Kasadey's eyes widened. Her smile was all she needed to say as she grabbed him and pressed her lips to his. Sanzo tensed and staid still as he stared at her tightly shut eyes. Her right hand was tangled in his hair as she ran her tongue over his lips. He shuddered and nodded slightly. His eyes hazed as she deepened their kiss. She sighed, letting out a quiet moan.
He snapped back to reality and suddenly realized what was happening and who it was happening with. He pulled back and shoved her away quickly. "Sanzo…" She trailed off.
He stood up and walked to the door. "It didn't happen." He spat and rubbed his mouth with the bottom of his shirt, before walking out of the room. Kasadey stared down at the floor and covered her mouth as tears laced her eyes.
"It didn't…?" She questioned his words.
Hope everyone liked this chapter!! +_+ She kissed him…he let her kiss him…well, sort of…+_+ READ + REVIEW!!
