Chapter Two: Rain and Wishes

They say that rain washes away your pain. But he felt that it only served as a reminder of that fateful night. He remembered it like it was yesterday, and no matter how hard he tried, he can't forget it.

He lighted his fifth or sixth cancer stick since the rain started a couple of hours ago. And they were stuck in an inn again.

Golden eyes moved to the still figure next to the window in the dimly lit room and wondered what the priest was thinking about. It can't be something nice, it's probably a bad memory from his past, the past before he took him in. The past that remained a mystery.

Folding his arms on the only wooden table and leaning forward, his head rested on his arms and he thought about it. He didn't know which hurt more, a bad memory or not having memories at all?

Regardless, he only wished for one thing now, with all his heart he wished for the rain to stop.

He lifted his head when he felt a pair of violet land on him.

"What is it Saru?"

"Um, nothing," his reply wasn't as energetic as usual.

"Tch, whatever," he knew that his rain mood was affecting his charge, and it didn't fit him at all.

Two minutes passed slowly and the only sound that can be heard was the rain as it softly hit the window.

The golden eyes shifted from the staring at the chair opposite of him, to the priest that now moved to the door. He watched as he turned the handle and then turned to him, "Are you coming or not?"

"Wha-? Where are ya going, Sanzo?"

"You're hungry aren't you,"

"What about the rain?"

"What are you? Stupid? Look out the window." He left him alone and went to the hallway.

Golden eyes moved to the window, although the clouds haven't scattered and it was slightly dark outside, the rain has stopped, and rays of light escaped the clouds to shine, like pillars of light.

His wish came true. The rain has finally stopped.

With a big grin on his face, he sprinted to follow after his guardian.

"Sanzo! Wait for me! Sanzo I have something really important to tell you!! It came true!!"
