Disclaimer – I do not own or profit from Saiyuki. Naturally, as I am a fanfic writer.

Rated T for Gojyo's libido. Oh, and slashiness.

This is my first attempt at a Gojyo and Hakkai pairing. Not quite as dark as the others in this series so far, maybe, but I still think it fits...

Anyway, enjoy. Peace, all.

Tales From A Rainy Night

Integration

Women. Always, with the women. More sex than even he needed, or wanted, if he chose to reach and take it – which he used to, on average of four times a day. Less, if he was feeling okay. More, if he wasn't.

But no more. Now, he lived with someone. A man. A friend. Someone who stayed, where his bed-partners never had – had never been allowed to. Someone who looked at him without judgment or fear or need. Just another person who happened to live in the same house.

No. That wasn't right. It was more than that, than all that. It was the emotions he'd never thought he'd have, with any woman.

And he didn't. With a woman.

Before, sex without love. Now, love without sex. Neither really appealed, but for now, the latter was infinitely preferable.

And maybe later, they could work on integrating the two.
