A sudden, violent snowstorm.

A haven in form of a cave.

And unfortunately, it came with four extras.

Sanzo twitched once again as he glared at Kougaiji over his days-old newspaper. The paper was really more of a prop now; he was desperate enough to be caught reading classified.

"Hey, monk."

He could feel the tic in his forehead as he looked over the flimsy paper. "What the hell is it?"

Kougaiji nodded over towards a sleeping Lirin and Goku, curled up together. "Your monkey does anything to my sister, he dies."

"Y'gotta get through me first"

"That is very interesting, Miss Yaone. I had no idea there were so many uses for everyday herbs."

"Oh, yes. If everyone knew as much about this as I, I'd be out of a job."

Slender fingers slid over a wax-covered leaf. "And what is this for?"

The herb was snatched, a blush staining porcelain cheeks. "Contraceptive."

Knowing eyes motioned towards Kougaiji and smiled.

The blush deepened.

"What about this one?"

Purple eyes twinkled mischievously. "That one's my favorite. Watch."

Emerald eyes did so, wondering.

"Goku, Lirin! I have presents for you."

"Oooh..."

Thud.

"Amazing. Sleeping herbs in meat buns..."

Gojyo woke up shivering.

The fire was out, leaving the eight temporary inhabitants to fend for themselves.

He could barely make out his brother, bending over the fire. He untangled himself from Hakkai and went over to him, tapping him on the shoulder with his lighter.

"Thanks."

With a click, the cave walls were illuminated, the light growing brighter as the kindling took.

"So, when did that happen?"

"When did what happen?"

"That." Dokugakuji pointed to where Hakkai was sleeping. "I had no idea you were into men."

"Oh, bite me."

"Seriously, when did it happen?"

"About a year ago." Gojyo knew his brother would never leave him alone until he got an answer.

"How?"

"Should I go into details or would you prefer illustrations?"

Dark eyes narrowed in silent rebuke. "I didn't know you batted for both teams."

Gojyo shrugged. "Sex is sex."

"And love is love?"

The half-breed was silent, giving his brother the reply without words.

Dokugakuji grinned. "Y'know, I'll kill him if he hurts you."

Crimson eyes rolled towards the ceiling. "Gods, now I need a cigarette."

Dokugakuji grinned at Gojyo's back. "I'm not kidding," he told a sleeping Hakkai.

Hakkai opened an eye and grinned.
