The Kiss.

Hanami stretched as the light of her window crept into her eyes, she smiled at it, and slowly closed her eyes again thinking of what she could do today.

"Mmm" she sighed as she stared at the cheery blossom branch in the vase of water.

Cherry blossoms…wait,

She jumped out of bed when the slow realisation of what today's date was.

"OMAGOD!" she screamed running out of her room in her pyjama shorts and tank top, she ran into the wall outside her door and fell flat on her ass.

"Ayah!" she cried rubbing her head before realising her attire and blushing.

"Oops…Goku'd kill me if I went to breakfast like this…" she felt her stomach rumble at the smells coming up from the kitchen.

"MMMMMMM!" she sighed small tears of pleasure at her eyes, she heard tutting behind her and turned her head to see a group of old monks staring at her.

She frowned and put her hands on her hips.

"If you're so mad stop staring at my legs you damn perverts!" she teased sticking her tongue out, the group blushed and stared at her only then realising the teens attire when she pointed it out.

Hanami sweat-dropped and puffed her cheeks out in anger.

"PISS OFF!" she screamed standing on her toes and bellowing the statement at them at the top of her voice.

The group quickly departed and she smiled happy at her accomplishment freezing suddenly when she realised something.

"Drat...I should've asked for some of them to bring me up hot water…" she walked into her room closing the door and taking her top off threw it in the corner, she caught site of herself in the mirror and sighed poking her chest in disgust.

"Damnit GROW!" she yelled angrily as she reached into her drawers and pulling out a bra (a gift from Lady Lirin) she put it on groaning as she adjusted the straps to fit, she'd rather it being big than asking Goku to take her into town to get measured, she could only remember the look on his face last time they went 'necessity shopping'

"And Sanzo was worse," she groaned remembering when Sanzo had surprised Goku on his way back causing the Saru to drop the bag and the contents to spill out.

She pulled on a pair of jean shorts (which would be frowned upon when Goku saw her in them she noted) and a long low cut red shirt with short sleeves, she pulled her hair up into a ponytail, two bangs framing her face and smirked at the red hair clasp on her desk,

Gojyo had one it in a bet (or so he claimed) and allowed her to have it.

She blushed at the thought of the red haired man, but then she blushed at the thought of all four men who had taken care of her, the fourth one however, was not Goku.

She sighed and sat on the chair in front of the mirror brushing her ponytail and thought of Hakkai Sanzo and Gojyo filled her mind.

"Damn hormones," she mumbled, she touched her lips at what something that Lirin had told her once.


"Now Hanami-Chan, don't let your hormones run away with you! You want your first kiss to be special don't you?" she teased throwing a bag of undergarments at her.

An 18 year old Hanami blushed and glared at Lirin.

"AYAH! LIRIN SHUT-UP!" she hissed knowing that Goku was behind the screen door.

"Hmm? Oh right we don't want Goku-kun knowing about your horny urges do we!" she teased causing Hanami to blush even more,

"KYA! SHUSH!" she screamed tackling Lirin.


Hanami sighed as she put the brush down (a gift from Hakkai) and gazed at the garden underneath her window balcony.

She smiled as she looked at Koi fish fountain and snickered slightly.

"Hmm, I wonder where he is anyway," she sighed fingering the wooden bracelet on her desktop among other treasures she had collected.

"Stupid Yoh," she muttered as she thought to her FOURTH protector, she blushed slightly and slapped her forehead.

"GYAH! Stop thinking like that!" she yelled.

She sighed again and looked at herself in the mirror before pulling a funny face and going out of her bedroom door the wooden bracelet on her arm.

She kept her sandals off her feet, (which were black and slightly raised to give her height with red straps) as she liked the cool feeling of the marble floor under her feet.

She sighed at the feeling of the wind coming in through the open window, smiling she sat on the balcony part of it.

"How many times have I sat here?" she said to herself.

"Does it matter you never clean it!" a voice joked behind her.

Hanami spun around and smiled as red eyes met brown, the wind blew through his dark black hair and she smiled.

"Hey stranger!" she teased tapping him with her foot.

He blushed slightly and raised an eyebrow.

"What was master Goku saying to you the other day Hanami about uh…clothing?" he sighed saying her name fondly as he tugged on a red bang of her hair causing her to push his shoulder back with her foot causing him to stare at her in an awkward position.

"Sheesh and when do I EVER listen to Goku? And you don't have to call him Master y'know!" she smiled removing her foot much to the brunette's relief and disappointment.

"WAH DISSAPOINTMENT? WHAT THE HELL!" he thought to himself.

"Besides Yoh," she continued causing him to look up at her his eyebrow raised in question,

"You're acting like Sanzo more and more everyday, I'm sure Goku will notice the similarity soon and treat you like mister hot head any day now!" she smiled causing his face to light up.

"R-Really? Ya think Hanami?" he asked whispering it like it was some kind of sin to be happy.

Hanami laughed and pinched is cheeks out so that they stretched.

"YOU LOOK LIKE A MONKEY!" she teased, letting go of his cheeks and winking.

"Yeah, only try not to act like him too much, he never smiles and I'd miss yours!" she smiled ruffling his hair.

"Really?" He asked hopefully ignoring the fact that she had just called him a monkey.

"Uh-huh though I have to admit, copying Sanzo's sexy haircut DEFINITELY improved your looks cue ball!" she laughed causing him to growl at his childhood nickname, or was it because of that….

She thinks Sanzo's Sexy?

Yoh frowned and looked away as she started laughing.

"Hey! I'm sorry okay? HEY! Do you know what day it is today!" she urged poking him so that he had to look at her.

"No, why?" he asked blankly causing her to frown.

"Huh some monk you are! You don't even know the events that take place in the temple you're staying in!" she sighed out in irritation causing Yoh to kick her knee.

"OW!"

"Well maybe because Master Sanzo has me studying the scripture for hours on end so I can finish my apprenticeship!" he growled sighing slightly and looking out the window.

"And yes, I know the festival's coming up Hanami, it's just, I AM very busy and I doubt I'll have my study completed by then…It's…it's bad enough I haven't been able to hang out with you recently now it seems I'm going to let you down again…" he finished with a sigh running a hand through his wavy black hair that grew freakishly like Sanzo's.

Hanami sensed the sore spot and grabbed his hand blowing a raspberry on the palm making him jump in surprise.

"EYAH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" he yelled grimacing and wiping the wet hand on his robe.

Hanami stuck her tongue out.

"Yuck, ink!" she winced pointing to her face where ink splodges that had been on the young monks fingers had taken residence on her face and down on her lips. She rubbed her cheek only smudging it more.

"Kya, I just washed my face today!" she moaned.

"STUPID, you'll get no sympathy from me you did it on purpose you know my hands are always inky after study!" he yelled reaching forward and trying to wipe some of the ink of her face.

She laughed a little and knocked their foreheads together so that they had to stare into each others eyes.

"Yeah but it cheered you up didn't it Yoh?" she said her voice still high from laughing her red eyes glittering.

Yoh blushed and moved his head away mumbling something about her being childish though a smile was on his face.

Hanami frowned.

"Childish…" she said in shock before an evil idea entered her head turning her frown upside down.

"Ho-ho! No my dear Yoh! This…" she said rubbing her pale inky cheek down his tan one, her lip accidentally brushing his ear. "Is evil!" she yelled as she dashed off leaving the boy stunned and blushing.

"I'LL SEE YA LATER YOH I GOTTA CLEANED UP!" she laughed waving behind her back as she ran back to her room.

Yoh sat their and watched as she ran off light reflecting off the coloured stones on her wooden bracelet.

Yoh smiled as he watched the stones shine.

"I gave her that," he smiled looking out the window before he heard a cough behind him.

"Huh…MASTER SANZO!" Yoh cried jumping up only to hit the side of his head on the wall causing him to retreat down again rubbing his head.

"AH!" he cried.

Sanzo raised an eyebrow at the boy and released a long trail of smoke,

"You're dirty already? Oi, why is it some people never stay clean!" he sighed poking Yoh's cheek on the smudge causing the now twenty year old to blush.

"AH, IM SORRY SANZO-SENSEI!" he yelled bowing causing Sanzo to wince at the loud noise.

"Tch, shut-up Damnit I've a headache the size of mount Fuji," he groaned sitting on the window sill.

Yoh took this as a command and kept his mouth shut however his eyes narrowed sceptically.

"Master Sanzo….have you been…drinking," he asked.

"Stupid question kid," Sanzo glared causing Yoh to blush and look away.

He snuck a look back at him and sighed…he had to admit Sanzo WAS good looking a lot of the woman outside the temple said so even now that he was well 25, he remained wrinkleless (save for the ones under his eyes, and still had blonde hair that was as radiant as the sun.

Yoh picked at his own hair and sighed…

Maybe she prefers blondes?

The violet eyed monk regarded his young protégé and sighed patting his head causing the young man blush and look up at him.

"Master Sa…"

"I know you'd rather be out with the other monks," Sanzo sighed removing his hand as quickly as he had placed it on the young man's hair.

"But this is very important" he said with added stern in his voice.

Yoh shook his head and rubbed the back of his head.

"N-No Master I actually…enjoy being with you!" he smiled.

Sanzo lifted an eyebrow.

"Say what?"

"Well…I guess the other monks and I…don't get along seeing as I transferred here and you selected me to success you as the next Sanzo," he said quietly, Sanzo watched him as a sense of Deja vu kicked in.

"They're…a bunch of idiots though I don't need them I mean once I get position Sanzo…" he said a smile creeping up on his face causing Sanzo to raise an eyebrow.

"I'll have them clean the whole grounds with toothbrushes!" he laughed causing Sanzo to give a rare smirk.

"Well," he smiled standing up and flicking a cigarette over the side through the window before he walked off, "That's good to know…c'mon lets see if we can get your fingers as inky a your face," he finished in a bored tone as he went back into the room.

Yoh sighed and looked out the window at the Koi fountain smiling.

Cherry blossoms flew past the window and he thought back to the day him and Hanami first became friends…an image of the red haired girl plaguing his mind.

"Hanami…" he whispered as he caught a flower petal.

"Yoh…I won't call you again," Sanzo yelled from the room causing him to jump.

"Ah…COMING MASTER SANZO!"
