Running out of things to say…

 

 

………………………&# 8230;……

 

 

Sanzo was the first one to wake the next morning. He smiled when he saw her still sleeping face but it turned into a frown almost immediately at the large bruise across her cheek. He noted the small cut on her lip and frowned more. He lifted her shirt slightly and saw the bruises across her middle. He could feel a surge of anger run through him. He was mad that, not only had she gotten hurt, but he hadn't noticed whatever happened. When she opened her eyes she found angry violet eyes glaring back at her.

 

“Sanzo?” she squeaked.

 

He touched her cheek, “what the fuck happened?”

 

“I…I can't tell you,” she whispered.

 

He practically growled his next sentence, “I can ignore a few small cuts but I can't ignore such huge bruises.”

 

“It's not that big,” she began to protest.

 

“Shit Sasami the entire side of your face is black and blue,” the anger in his voice was more than obvious.

 

She winced, “that bad?”

 

His eyes narrowed, “I want an explanation now Sasami.”

 

She sat up and sighed, “it's my problem to fix Sanzo, and I will handle it I just need a little time.” He looked at her trying to figure out exactly what to say. She was the same as when she had left yet not. She didn't smile and laugh quite as much as she used to. He wondered what had exactly happened to her in Japan. He sat up and turned her face to his.

 

“Whatever this problem is,” he said touching his forehead to hers, “it better not get you killed or I'll be pissed.” He gently kissed her lips. She kissed back, smiling slightly as he pulled back.

 

“I'll be fine,” she promised.

 

He kissed her forehead, “you better be.” She let out a soft sigh and started to lean into him. He started to wrap his around her when the door flew open.

 

“Sanzo! Let's go get breakfast,” Goku said happily bounding in.

 

Sanzo immediately let go and stood up, “fine, stupid monkey.”

 

Goku was about to say something else when he saw the miko sitting on the bed, “hey you're here too! We can all go eat now.”

 

Sasami smiled, “that's right.”

 

The young boys eyes widened, “who hit you? What happened?”

 

She stood and gently placed a hand on his head, “it doesn't matter Goku, I swear I'll be fine.”

 

Sanzo eyed her, “you two go ahead and eat. I'm going to talk to Hakkai.”

 

Goku shrugged, “if you say so.” Sasami gave him a questioning look as Goku practically dragged her away. Sanzo just shook his head at her before turning and heading the other way.

 

There was no knock or warning as Sanzo got inside Hakkai's room, “what happened to her?”

 

Hakkai looked up from getting his things together, “I'm sure I have no clue what you mean by that.”

 

Sanzo's eyes narrowed, “I know your bandaging when I see it. Now tell me what happened to her.”

 

Hakkai stood, “I apologize but I made a promise to her.”

 

Sanzo's eyes narrowed more, “screw the fucking promise, I need to know.”

 

“For what reason?” Hakkai asked, “what good would your knowing do for her?”

 

Sanzo hesitated, “that's not your concern.”

 

“She's in danger,” Hakkai finally said walking past him, “however, I doubt she'll tell you anything while she's unsure of your feelings towards her.”

 

“She should know how I feel,” Sanzo growled.

 

“She doesn't,” Hakkai said pointedly, “but I suppose you know how she feels.”

 

Sanzo stayed quiet for a minute before answering, “yes I know.”

 

Hakkai nodded, “I thought as much. Shall we go eat breakfast now?” Sanzo made a non-committal sound and followed his friend. They weren't too surprised to find Gojyo making a huge deal about her bruises. He had her upper arm in a firm hold to keep her from moving away as he inspected the huge bruise.

 

“What the hell did you get hit with?” Gojyo asked, “a fucking boulder?”

 

Sanzo smacked him over the head with a paper fan, “if she had been hit with a boulder more damage would have been done than just a bruise.”

 

Gojyo rubbed his head, “then what did happen o holy one?”

 

Sanzo hit him again, “ask her not me.”

 

Gojyo covered his head, “oi! Cut it out you damn corrupt monk!”

 

Goku swallowed the food he was eating, “hey as long as it's not me.”

 

Sasami took the opportunity of Gojyo and Sanzo fighting to talk to Hakkai, “you didn't tell him did you?”

 

He smiled, “of course not, you told me that information in confidence. I would not betray your trust like that.”

 

She smiled, “that's very reassuring.” He motioned for her to return to eating. She gave a small nod before sitting next to Goku again.

 

Gojyo leaned over to Sanzo grinning, “I think Hakkai's flirting with your little girlfriend. Aren't you going to shoot at him?” Sanzo's eye twitched before letting out two gunshots, both aimed at Gojyo. Gojyo barely dodged, “what the fuck is the matter with you?”

 

Sanzo glared, “I can't stand morons.”

 

“Oi Hakkai do something about this damn violent monk before I do!” Gojyo fumed, glaring at Sanzo.

 

Sanzo stood, “I'm going for a walk, you are starting to really annoy me.”

 

“Good, leave,” Gojyo glared, “we don't need to deal with your sour as all hell attitude.”

 

Sasami looked up, “do you want me to come with you?”

 

“I don't need an escort,” Sanzo snapped before leaving. She only blinked in slight hurt and confusion.

 

Gojyo scowled, “what the hell crawled up his ass and died?”

 

“I believe he's just worried about something,” Hakkai said calmly sipping his tea, “but you know him, he won't admit to it.”

 

Sasami sighed, “I'm starting to feel like I'm only adding to the problems here.”

 

Goku hugged her middle, making her wince slightly, “well I like that you're here no matter what.”

 

“I'd rather have you here than that damn monk,” Gojyo grumbled.

 

“You are far less angry than him,” Hakkai noted smiling.

 

“Well that's not too hard of a task,” she couldn't help but smile.

 

Gojyo cursed, “dammit I'm out of smokes. Hey monkey, come with me to get some smokes.”

 

Goku made a face, “I'm not gonna go with you.”

 

“I'll go with you,” Sasami said taking them all by surprise.

 

Hakkai looked at her, “are you sure about that?”

 

She nodded, “yeah I'm sure.”

 

Gojyo grinned, standing and helping her up, “well I'm not complaining.”

 

Hakkai sighed, “we know you're not.” Sasami tried not to laugh as Gojyo pulled her forward.

 

“So where'd those bruises really come from?” he asked as they rounded a corner.

 

“If I haven't told Sanzo what makes you think I'll tell you?” she asked calmly.

 

He raised an eyebrow, “how could he not know? Aren't you sleeping in the same room as him?”

 

She stumbled slightly, “you guys knew that already?”

 

He chuckled, “well yeah, you guys suck at hiding things. Still, how did he not notice this?”

 

She sighed, “he can be a heavy sleeper at times.”

 

“Wouldn't of thought that of him,” he mumbled slightly.

 

“Besides this happened outside not in the room,” she explained.

 

“And that thing was?” he prodded.

 

“Wow that girl's skirt is really short,” she said ignoring his question.

 

“What? Where?” he nearly fell over himself to see the non-existent girl. She turned and sneaked away from the distracted Gojyo.

 

Sasami maneuvered her way through the crowd, keeping an eye out for Sanzo. She smiled at the busy street and tried to ignore the nagging in the back of her mind. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw Sanzo's back and started to call out to him.

 

“I wouldn't if I were you,” Mitari's voice whispered in her ear.

 

She jerked away, “the hell?”

 

He smiled, “it is pleasing to know I can sneak up on you so easily.”

 

She grit her teeth, “what do you want?”

 

He chuckled, “for you to return to Japan of course.”

 

Her eyes narrowed, “why would I do something like that?”

 

He calmly looked over at Sanzo, “I wonder if I can sneak up on him as easily as I sneaked up on you?”

 

Her eyes widened, “you wouldn't.”

 

He smiled at her, “oh I wouldn't?”

 

She turned away, “fine, I'll return to Japan.”

 

He chuckled and stroked her cheek, “that's my girl.”

 

She jerked away, “don't touch me.” He only chuckled and walked away from her. She shuddered before heading back to the inn. She didn't say or look for Hakkai and Goku, instead headed straight to the room. She started to get her things together before a feeling of hopelessness overwhelmed her. She fell to her knees next to the bed sobbing. It was hopeless, she had no way of getting away from Mitari. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail as she tried to calm herself down. “Sasami what are you doing on the floor?” Sanzo asked from the door.

 

She wiped the tears from her eyes, “nothing I just…nothing.”

 

He took her hand and pulled her up, “come on, you spent the day with Goku yesterday. Today you spend it with me.” She nodded slightly and followed him out. She already knew what to expect from a day with him but it was still nice. She couldn't help but think that this might be the last day she spent with the uptight monk. “Your bruises are healing up fast,” Sanzo noted from behind his newspaper.

 

Sasami touched her cheek, “really? Well that's good.”

 

He handed her half the paper, “here. You're going to get bored.” She smiled slightly and took it. She sat happily next to him and started reading. He couldn't help but look over at her occasionally, smiling slightly at the concentration on her face as she read. It bugged him that she had yet to tell him what had harmed her. She would normally tell him everything but not this time. This time she wasn't saying a word.

 

“You are turning into an old man I swear,” she teased.

 

He glared, “you've been hanging around the kappa too much.”

 

She shrugged, “that's a huge possibility.”

 

He handed her a cup of tea, “he better not rub off on you anymore.”

 

She sipped it calmly, “I'm not that weak minded.”

 

“I know,” he said in a confident tone, “you're strong minded and strong hearted as well.”

 

She blinked then smiled at the compliment, “well thank you Sanzo.”

 

“Don't thank me,” he said sipping his tea, “it's a truth.” She only smiled slightly and finished the last of her tea. She looked around at the other people in the room and bit her lip. She desperately wanted to stay but was afraid of what Mitari might do.
