Dense sheets of thick clear rain poured onto the inn's roof making it echo in my inn room. My eyes stared out straight ahead of me in the bleak dark black velvet of the night. A loud boom of thunder caused me to shudder slightly. The others were asleep... Ashurri laid in her futon with her face buried in the pillow, Lyn was sleeping on her side with her arm over her eye, Kim on her back sleeping quietly. Lightning from the outside flashed through the window. We all had retired to a early night sleep but mine was interrupted from the storm waging outside. In the morning we would figure out how to get Kenryuu and Hakuryuu back to normal but we needed sleep, I needed sleep. Slowly I stood up and then shuffled across the room trying not to wake the others who slept peacefully. I stepped out into the hall and went toward the door then opened it slightly to peek inside. He slept silently and calmly, laying on his side with one arm resting on his stomach. His chest lightly moved up and down it was so hard to see so it looked like he wasn't breathing at all. Light from a lamp post that stood tall outside the window shone into the room, causing there to be a bit of light. The orange glow from it beamed on his face and made his golden blonde locks shine. Even so with that said light he kept sleeping. He had been angry earlier because of the storm and... my random outburst of his shoes. I walked over my footsteps not making a sound in the room. I sat down on my knee's and then stared at him, thunder boomed making me jump a bit. My arm extended while the other hand tucked a lock of my hair behind my ear. My blue orbs stared at his face then my index finger lightly poked his nose. Eyes didn't open... again I poked his nose... a sneeze... poke him again a eyebrow twitch... Okay maybe one more poke. His eyelids opened slightly then violet orbs looked at me. Sanzo sat up slightly a bit hunched over and gave a annoyed sigh before looking at me. One hand was over his eye and the other limp at his side. He rose a eyebrow at me.
"What do you want Amber..." he glanced at the clock, "Its three in the morning".
Silently my blue eyes stared at him before giving a blink then saying bluntly, "I can't sleep... the storm is too loud". As if on que thunder shook the inn.
He looked at me with a feign stioc, giving a sigh he put the hand covering his eye down. "Just don't think about it and think of something else... I-"
Interrupting him I said, "I can't do that... its too loud" I told him once again.
He reached up and ran his fingers through his blonde hair before thinking about it, his face blank and just staring at the floor. He then looked up clearly with a idea by the look in his eyes. He waved his hand at me for me to come closer, I crawled toward him and then felt two cold hands on either side of my face pulling me down and then my ear pressed against something. Faint blush spread across my cheeks and after a few moments I heard something. A rhythm of a heart beat, beating so loudly in my ear. It was nice almost like a drum, it was calm and slow but started to sped up slightly. The heartbeat drowned out the thunder, the heartbeat started to put me to sleep. It was booming loud like the thunder outside but it was loud enough for me to hear. Sanzo took away his hands and then I felt them wrap around my back. My eyes closed slightly and I looked up at him. His eyes were closed but he stood up straight, his hair covering a bit of his eyelids.
"My... Master said to me once... a heartbeat has a nice rhythm it could put anyone to sleep" he stated quietly, voice so soft you could cut it with a knife.
I stared at his face while he had his eyes shut. It looked like he was... when he said that his composure was lost... After thinking about it, I leaned up and then lightly pressed my lips against his. His eyes snapped open and then I pulled away, he stared at me confused. With a smile I went back to listen to his heart beat but then warm soft lips laid against mine and then they left. Leaving me with a small tingle on my own...
The storm outside... no thunder was heard...
My head was throbbing like crazy making it very hard for me to focus on what I was doing but I bear the pain and looked around my surroundings. A thick white veil was around the forest, making it hard to point out shapes or objects. No way to see where I was all I knew that I was with Gojyo, Kenryuu who had been next to me before the fog set in was now gone. I knew I was sick and I didn't like the fact of walking to the next village in the forest. I had chills and I just didn't feel good that's all. I ambled next to Gojyo trying to get out of the misty forest. Gojyo then stopped a bit and looked around, cursing under his breath. I rubbed my eyes a bit and sighed, chills... didn't like it... I grabbed Gojyo's arm and continued to walk, him following me as I swayed a bit. Vision was fading maybe.. no I want to get out of here seriously.
"Hey Lyn... you okay"? he asked...
I gave a curt nod and continued to walk, my vision was blurry... next thing I knew I hit the soft grass of the forest floor and sighed a bit, gripping the green blades of grass between my fingers... I could hear his voice. He was talking or more like yelling my name, it was fading away. My eyes slowly closed slightly... His voice drifting away.
"Lyn! Hey Lyn are you okay?! Lyn"! he was on the ground in front of me, looking at me.
I could see his face, full of worry and fear... why... his crimson eyes stared at me with such fear and worry... then his image disappeared...
