Chapter 1

I hear the sound of the distant waves, crashing to shore. The sea breeze carried the faint smell of the ocean. The sun's ray peeped through my window, to my face. I felt its warmth, as if telling me to get up.

I sat up, watching the view I could see from my window; the blue sea, the white, sandy beach, out-stretched and smooth. Waves rushing to shore and crashing against rocks. Away from the busy city, the people, my job...I must agree, this is tranquility.

The chalet I live in belongs to me. I didn't know why I bought it at the first place, but I guess now, it served its purpose. I looked around. Everything is quiet, peaceful...

It has been six months now since I have contacted Hakkai. He is now a professor in a University, and is as busy as I am. I just met Gojyo a few weeks back, when he paid me a short visit. He opened a pub in town, not to mention enjoying his life. Goku is now studying overseas, and is about to graduate soon...heh! I can't believe that saru has gone this far in his studies...and me, I'm a manager of a big company...I thought I was managing well, but then, my assistant advised me to take a break. Now, here I am...in this big, empty chalet, not knowing what to do with my dull vacation.

I got up and headed towards the bathroom. I might as well freshen up first... I brushed my teeth and began to wash my face. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. My reflection looked unemotionally back at me, like always. I still have lots of time to spare...what am I suppose to do with it? My assistant told me she will take care of everything in the company, and will notify me if there are any problems...I know she meant what she said...

I began to unbutton my shirt and unbuckled my jeans. I took my towel and headed towards the shower. There is a bathtub as well, but I don't feel like using it. I let the water flow down on my body. The water was comfortable, but there is still one feeling that I couldn't wash away, and I don't know what it is...

After that, I decided to switch on my laptop and checked my emails. I was a bit surprised to find a few emails waiting to be opened. My assistant emailed me everything was going just fine and told me to enjoy myself. There was another one from Goku. Ch! That saru always sends me an email telling me about his life there, about his friends, (one of them is Lirin), how much he misses me, Gojyo and Hakkai, etc...etc...that bakasaru! There is also an email from Hakkai. He just emailed to ask how I was doing, and apologized because he didn't get the chance to contact me at all...but he said his life there was good... The last one was from Gojyo. It just arrived. I opened it and was irritated when I saw a greeting card with HIS face on it, grinning, between to women. All he wrote was; "Enjoy life! It's short! Be like me and you'll be happy! –Gojyo-"

The next time he comes, I'll be sure to kill him!!! Why'd I want to be a pervert like him??? That baka!!!

After replying to them, I shut down my laptop. I lighted a cigarette and looked around once more. I picked up the newspaper and began to read it.

The day slowly passed on. Finally, I folded the newspaper and threw it aside. I looked out the window again. The sun was just about to set. ...I'll just take a stroll before I get my dinner.

The evening breeze swept passes my face, playing with my hair. My feet were wet, splashed by the seawater. The glow from the sun setting; it does give me peace. As I walked on, I approached a rock. A seashell beside it caught my attention. I was about to pick it up when suddenly, another hand appeared and was about to do the same thing.

Both of us paused and looked at each other. In front of me, a woman stared back at me. Slowly, we both stood up. She was wearing a loose shirt with jeans rolled up to her knees, and beach slippers. Her long, black hair kept being blown by the breeze, interfering with her face.

"I didn't know there were people at this stretch of the beach..." she began.

I didn't reply. She smiled, and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear.

Then, I could see her face better. She had black, slanted eyes, pale skin and light pink lips. She wasn't very tall, though. She only reached up to my chest.

"Are you here on holiday?" she asked again.

"...yeah..." I finally replied.

"Hontou? So am I! I'm here with my family! See that building there? That's where I'm staying!" she pointed at a hotel up on a hill, opposite from where my chalet is.

"...I see." I simply replied.

"I like the beach here, don't you? It's so peaceful and quite...ah! Where do you live?" She looked warmly at me.

I just pointed at my chalet as an answer.

"Whoa! You're the owner of that chalet??? You must be rich!!!" she expressed herself in amazement.

"Aah. But money's nothing to me..." I replied.

Both of us were quiet for a while. Suddenly, she smiled again.

"Would you...like to accompany me to watch the sunset?" She got on the rock.

"...Aren't we watching it now?" I asked her back. That was a dumb question!

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Hmm...I guess you're right!" she chuckled, sitting on the rock.

What a strange person! But, one thing puzzled me; if she was with her family, where are they?

"Where is your family?"

"Hmm? Oh! They're in the hotel! They're not as adventurous as I am! Besides, I'm old enough to take care of myself! I'm 21 years old!" she grinned.

"...I didn't ask for your age..." I sweat-dropped, irritated.

"I know! I just felt like saying it!" she chuckled again.

The beach got darker. I glanced at her. She hugged herself tighter, watching the sun sinking. Somehow, I felt, behind her cheerful personality, she was sad...

Soon, the stars appeared, decorating the blue-black night sky. It was a full moon that night. The breeze was getting colder.

"...You should head back. Your family will be worried about you." I stood up and headed towards my chalet.

"Ah! Um...annou..." She tried to call me back.

I stopped and turned to look at her.

"Annou...anata no namae wa nan desu ka? Watasyi wa, Itsuki Yukina desu. Demo ne, just call me Yue." She got off the rock.

"...Sanzo. Genjo Sanzo..." I replied and walked on.

"Sanzo..." she smiled. "Hajime mashite!!! Matta shita, ne!"

Yeah...we'll see...

Senko-san: Well, I'm gonna stop here for now. I hope it was okay! Please tell me what you guys think of it, kay????? Jya ne!!!!!!!!!!!!
