... She went and woke up Zeon. She ordered him to go to Sanzo's room and help Hakkai. "But what about you? You should be there too." Rein's eyes were suddenly filled with sadness and tears but she smiled a bit and said, "I'm not needed there, I won't be much of use." (That hurts!) With that said she turned her back at Zeon and started to walk away. To where? I don't know.

... Days passed... and no Rein appeared...
... It was sunny and hot... Sanzo was feeling a Lot better now but the trio insists that he stays inside of his room... His and Rein's room... He had been smoking 3 packs a day since he could sit properly. And today wasn't about to change that... He's standing in front of the window looking blankly outside. He didn't mind that it was hot; he just removed the top of his robe and left it dangling on his waist. He doesn't look like he's thinking about something... or someone... He just looked... well... blank...
... Sanzo stayed there... Rain or shine... Smoking his cigarette... Breathing smoke in and out of his lungs... Drinking and drinking beer... No one knows if he ever sleeps at night. But Zeon said, he swore that he saw Sanzo the other night on his bed sleeping. Or maybe he was just lying down? Or maybe his feet got tired of just standing all day long...
... Before he opened his eyes a few days ago, he kept saying Rein's name... He looked as if he was reaching for her hands... Hakkai said, maybe Sanzo was just having a bad dream. And when he finally opened his eyes, he looked around the room. He saw Goku beside him with Gojyo and Hakkai standing at the end of the bed. He didn't say anything... actually he didn't need to say anything. The three knew who he was looking for... and someone wasn't happy about that... Sanzo closed his eyes and pretended that he was asleep...
... The door opened and he didn't even move or turned to see who it was... Sanzo already knew who came to check on him. He didn't even need to hear its voice... "What do you need now Gojyo. I'm fine, leave me alone." He said in his monotone. When he sensed that Gojyo was moving closer he sighed in an irritated way. "Tch. Fine." It was almost a whisper. "Goku found her."
... He was so happy to hear that... He wanted to turn around and ask Gojyo where and how they found her... but he just closed his eyes and forced his self to say, "So what?" He didn't want to say that... and he doesn't know why he still did. It was his pride. It's as high as the Empire State Building right about now. She left without telling anyone and she left when he was sick. She should've taken care of him... instead of his friends... At least that's what I think that's bothering him so much.
... Gojyo raised a brow and sighed. "So what, huh? Still wanna be the manly-man-full-of-pride-monk?" He didn't receive a reply. He wasn't hoping for a reply actually. Sanzo seems to be listening so he went on... "Now, you want us to think that you don't give a damn right? Well, let's see... You've been inside this room all week... You haven't stopped lighting a cigarette, you don't like to eat, you don't sleep, you don't talk to anybody and you've been lost in thought everyday. And yet you 'don't care'?" Gojyo laughed. "You're really stupid man." With that said and done, Gojyo went out and slammed the door shut.
... The very moment the door closed... Sanzo stopped smoking his cigarette and threw it outside the window. The next thing he did was... took a long cold shower...

... The thought of leaving for a long time didn't cross my mind... but when I got out of the temple's premises... I knew I couldn't just come barging in back to his arms... he must really hate me right now... enough to not look for me...
... I was standing underneath an oak tree looking at the clear sky wishing he was looking at it too... Thinking about Sanzo... That's all I do... Wondering how he's doing right now... Who's taking care of him... Maybe Hakkai... O-kae... shouldn't have thought about that. My dress was flowing together with the gentle breeze. It was hot today... So I decided to wear a simple tube top dress... Sanzo bought this for me... I said to myself as I looked down on the cute dress...
... I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't even notice that someone was already approaching me... "Chiaki!" Then someone small grabbed me from behind. I was so surprised that I let out an 'oh!'. I slowly turned around as I recognized the small figure. "Hello Goku..." I smiled at him and placed a hand on top of his head. "Mou..." He was sooo kawaii... "I've been looking for you! If I knew you were so close I shouldn't have looked on the next towns!" I gave him a smile again. "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were gonna come looking for me. If I knew I would've made a flag saying 'GOKU GOKU I'M IN HERE!'." Goku turned to his chibi form... and pouted...
... "You're so cute when you do that, you know..." I told him as I hugged him tight for a moment. "I should hide from you often then." He lets go of me and stood straight. "Sanzo hates it when I do that!" Sanzo... "Oh right!" Goku seemed to have remembered something important, hehe. He suddenly turned serious. "You have to come back home!" Home... huh... "Sanzo's been waiting for you to come back ever since he woke up! He's been smoking and drinking a WHOOOLE LOOOT MOOOOORE!" I wanted to laugh when he was emphasizing the 'whole lot more'. But I just couldn't...
... He took my hand and started pulling at it... "Goku..." I said in a soft voice... I took my hand from him and I gently smiled... "I can't go back now... and..." I stopped hesitating to say it... "I don't want to..." He was about to argue with me but I cut him off. "If Sanzo really wants to see me... He should come for his self... and not send someone else..." Goku frowned... and then as if he just thought of something brilliant... (Yeah Right...) He suddenly gave me a big smile.
... "One Sanzo coming right up!"
... Before I could say something, he was off. I just shook my head and smiled as I headed back to my motel...

... "SAAAANNNZZZZOOOOOOO!" Goku's voice echoed through the entire hall. Gojyo was about to reach the main hall when he heard Goku. He smiled, he knew what it meant. So... He shouted back... "YO STUPIDMONKEY!" Goku turned to look at the approaching Gojyo... He must really want something with Sanzo, because he didn't even retort to what Gojyo just called him. "Sanzo is in his room, dimwit." Gojyo smiled as Goku ran past by him... He swore he heard Goku's voice saying... "Thanks erokappa..." He laughed.

... It was hot... and the warm gentle breeze was brushing along my face... I stopped smoking right after Gojyo left... I can feel my lungs craving for more cigarettes... I don't know why the hell I stopped. I swear I was about to remember something about what someone told me... but my brain was too tired or either too blank for me to remember at that moment... I stared at the door and try to take in what Gojyo just told me. I didn't know how to react now when nobody's around.
... Should I jump with joy? Or should I just shrug and pretend not to care... Maybe I could actually admit to myself that I was excited to ask Gojyo where they found her and go running to that stupid place to make her come back... But I couldn't. Fucking Pride... shit.
... I started to walk around the temple. And then I found myself strolling around outside, on the temple grounds. I don't know how I did it but I was walking down the stairs. I wasn't thinking really, I don't know why I went down those fuckin' long stairs. Hmmm... there's a lot of people at the town today... I wonder why. It's only what... Thursday? I started to look around. I don't know if I was looking for her. I couldn't make up my mind. But, I felt it, that I had to look everywhere.
... As I was looking around I hear a familiar erokappa voice. "HAHAHA! Damn those guys were tough woman! How can you even mingle with those kinds everyday? When you can spend it with 'me'" I turned to look at my right, it was a pub/hotel. There was that red-haired erokappa and a monkey-looking-kid... and then... there was this young woman talking with them...
... Gojyo suddenly turned around, as if he felt I was there... Oh wait, he's not human, of course he can feel me, duh... I felt like I was stoned to death. Gojyo smiled as the woman with them turned to look at what he was looking at... which was... me. Goku turned into a monkey again, he had this big smug look on his face saying, 'haha we knew you couldn't resist...'.
... I sighed... fuckin bastards...
