A/N: This story contains context of a graphic and violent nature that some may find offensive. Also, this story contains a slash sub-story. If this offends you, extreme and detailed violence then please do not read my story. If you do like this kind of story, please read on!

I would like to ask that if you read and decide that this story is not up to your standards, please submit only CONSTRUCTIVE critisism.(Reviews drawing my attention to things like grammar/spelling or general Saiyuki mistakes). I will thank you for these reviews and correct the flaws immediatley. However flames are not welcome here. I never said that you had to like my story, if you do not and you have a nasty opinion about it please do me a favour and keep it to yourself.

DISCLAIMER: I do not (unfortunatley) own the Saiyuki boys or anything related to them. :Which is a shame really: Well, it's probabaly a good thing because I would deprive the world of them by keeping them in a box under my bed. As soon as I save up enough money I'll buy them and...ahem anyway. Please don't sue me, I have no money. ((Note to self: get a job and buy the Saiyuki boys then put them in a box under my bed))

Gojyo leans over my shoulder blowing smoke in my face.

GOJYO: This chick better be real hot

ME: What did I say about smoking in here::Smashes Gojyo over the back of the head:

GOJYO: YOU'RE USING MY NAME AND MY BODY TO MAKE A STORY, ALL I WANT IS FOR THE CHICK TO BE HOT

SANZO: Shutup, I am trying to read the paper here.

GOJYO: Well at least I get a chick preisty, unlike you. Little chibbi chimp over there gets to be-

:Gunshots:

ME: DID YOU JUST PUT HOLES IN MY WALL? I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR THAT

GOKU: Hey, are we eating soon? I'm really hungry.

HAKKAI: (From my kitchen) It will be ready soon Goku

ME: (annoyed) Read the story while I try to fix the bullet holes in my wall before my mum gets home from work and kills me.

Chapter five: Nightmares can't hurt you

---Don't fret precious I'm here,

Step away from the window

Go back to sleep---

She woke up first shivering and alone in her bed. Affected by the slightest noise. She covered her ears, her head was pounding. Almost like her brain was knocking around in her skull. Her eyes glazed with tears of a weakened child. Gojyo's eyes snapped open, he could hear the fear, he could smell it on her. He thought for a moment about ignoring it and let her deal with it. /Her problem, she tried to kill me if I remember right./

But Gojyo couldn't ignore it, he couldn't get back to sleep now. /She's making alot of fucking noise/ He thought to himself annoyed. He sat up in his bed, caught the scarlet of her eye through the darkness. It looked a little threatening. This colour glinting in the shadows like the blunt side of a sword. He cleared his throat. "Hey, what's with all the noise. I'm trying to sleep here." He said. She didn't answer. He rolled his eyes and pushed himself out of the couch. "look, I need my sleep. What's it gonna take to make you shutup" She flinched and drew away from him. /Holy shit, she's terrified/ He stood there for a while just looking at her.

"Nightmares can't hurt you. Didn't your mother ever tell you that" He scoffed and returned to the couch. "My mother's dead" She said quietly. The tremor in her voice. Gojyo turned his back on her. "So's mine, you don't see me waking people up in the middle of the night because of it." He said. She curled up, sweat covering her body. "Don't you ever dream about it? When you're alone at night?" Her voice was zombie-like. Droning lifelessly. Like it didn't matter to her deep down that she was sharing this with someone she seemed to despise. "I don't dream" he replied. Drowsy. "You liar." She hissed in the darkness. Her eye shining through shadows. A threatening glint of blood red.

He sighed noisily and climbed out of bed. "Want me to sit here till you fall asleep" She stared at him. "Yes please." He crossed his legs, her hair splayed across his pants. He watched her and leant against the wall.

They fell asleep this way.

He woke and she was holding his hand.

She woke and he hadn't pulled away.

He figured she was lonely. He could fix that if she wanted him to. He could get inside her and make her feel like a real woman. Make her skin crawl. Hell she was damned hot. Make her moan his name, urge him to hasten the pace. Dig nails into his back in ectasy.

But she didn't want him to. She wanted this right here. The intimacy of simple geastures. He couldnt guess that about her, he knew it. But this wasn't intimacy. He wanted her to shutup.

It worked.

"What's it like?"

For a while...-eye twitch-

"What"

"Being half human, half youkai"

Shrugged shoulders

"No different."

"It must be. You can't like being a monster"

"I...am...not...a...monster..."

She sighed, fell into a sleep. Gojyo slumped down beside her and fell asleep again behind her.
