"Now where teh HELL is SHE going!?" Goyjo thought to himself, a bit surprised by Miho's reaction---THEN it occurred to him that it MIGHT be a good idea to keep an EYE on teh young and pretty woman--she was ANGRY, and there were OTHER "LECHEROUS" MEN around here besides HIM!
He ran after her, keeping JUST enough distance between them so as NOT to be "obviously" following her [not realizing just how OBVIOUS he WAS, po' fool!], listing in his head all other "available" men in teh vicinity of teh Hotel who MIGHT be tempted to......"take advantage" of teh situation.
"Let's see..." Goyjo thought, still keeping Miho in sight as she entered teh Hotel, "That Lupin fellow lives with Stampers now, so I SHOULDN'T hafta worry about HIM, and both Spikes seem to be either "otherwise occupied" these days.....and Alucard has his WIFE watching HIM.......that pretty much just seems to leave ............."
Miho had disappeared around a corner, so Goyjo had to speed up to catch up with her--as he came around teh corner, he saw that she had apparently struck up a conversation with someone, he couldn't QUITE see WHO......then he got close enough to get a GOOD LOOK at teh MAN she was now SMILING at in an "inviting" way---
"DARK SCHNEIDER!!!!!!!!!!??"
*ACK!!!* It was ANY man's "worst NIGHTMARE"!!!
Even Goyjo's........
To be Continued--
To say that Goyjo, teh "eternal playboy" saw RED at that moment is something of an understatement [NOT-ta' mention a BAD pun, noda!] Like a jealous boyfriend--or more LIKELY--an over-protective Father(!), Goyjo STORMED up to where Darsches was grinning wickedly at "Little Miho" [who was flirting OUTRAGEOUSLY with him, teh Shameless Hussy!], and bellowed so LOUD he even made Dark Schneider flinch a bit--
"WHAT teh HELL IS GOING ON HERE!!!!!!!!!??"
Caught off guard by teh sudden verbal assault--and from such an UNLIKELY "source", too!--Darsches started to splutter an explanation, but it was Miho who angrily cut him off by turning to Goyjo and sniping at him--
"And just WHO are YOU, Mr. Sha, to be ASKING, I would like to know!!!?? You are NOT any male relative of MINE, and teh LAST I spoke to you, you had teh AUDACITY to REJECT my "attentions", REMEMBER!!!!!!?? NOW, if you will EXCUUUUUSE ME, I was TRYING to have a nice little "chat" with this kind Gentleman, Mr. Schneider!"
At this point, Darsches, catching on fast, decided to make Goyjo's life just a MITE more difficult by harping, "Is this CAD pestering You, Lady Miho..? Would you LIKE me to turn him into a TOAD for you...!?" This "casual" remark was accompanied by one of Darsche's "blinding" smiles [teh kind that turn's a women's insides to warm mush and makes men give up ALL hope!], which managed to both dishearten and INFURIATE Goyjo at teh SAME TIME! [How DARE that RAT of a Wizard MOVE IN on a poor little helpless girl like Miho!!!?? He'd probably have her bedded, dumped and FOREVER BROKEN-HEARTED in NO time, and Sha Goyjo was NOT gonna' let THAT happen to THIS Young Lady, DAMMIT!!!]
As Miho started to turn her back on Goyjo, preparing to go back to her flirtatious conversation with teh Notorious "Lady-Killer" Wizard, teh ANGRY water-sprite lost ALL CONTROL of himself, and reacted purely on instincts he didn't even KNOW he HAD! Goyjo, grabbing Miho by teh arm and pushing her behind himself, stepped forward and without any warning PUNCHED DARK SCHNEIDER IN teh NOSE!! Darsches, again totally caught off guard, didn't even have time to do more that *YELP!* in pain, before Goyjo was running off down teh hall and around teh corner, dragging a protesting Miho behind him all teh way!
As Darsches stood there, somewhat in SHOCK [what was WITH that Half-Demon today, ANYWAY!?], holding his hand to his bleeding nose, he asked rather plaintively, "Was It something I SAID.....!?"
To be Continued--
Goyjo wasn't really sure just WHERE he was dragging Miho off to, just so long as it was as FAR from that DAMNED HORNY WIZARD as POSSIBLE!! He was still steaming with anger when he was abruptly brought to a halt by teh girl he was trying to "protect" suddenly digging in her heels--as he turned to her, ready to scold Miho for putting herself in "danger" with Darsches, he was greeted by teh sight of teh EQUALLY ANGRY Miho about to do teh SAME to him, but for a DIFFERENT reason altogether!
"Who teh HELL do you THINK you ARE, Sha Goyjo!!!" she snapped, teh fire in her eyes making her even MORE gorgeous!
"And WHAT teh HELL were YOU trying to DO to YOURSELF and your reputation, Miho!? Do you have ANY IDEA who that, that LECHEROUS "Gentleman" WAS!!!??" Goyjo yelled in return, STILL appalled at what she had been letting herself IN for!
"Mis-TER Sha! I AM of age, like I TOLD you, and I can have ANY man I desire who DESIRES ME in return--YOU are NOT my Father, Boyfriend OR Big Brother, and THEREFORE, YOU have NO SAY about HOW or WHO with I spend my TIME, Remember!!??"
"And I'M SAYING that if you want a "Good Time" THAT BADLY, little Girl, you could SURELY do BETTER for yourself than pick a man KNOWN for his "wuv Them and Leave Them" habits, that's ALL!"
"Oh, and is THAT why you refused ME, because YOU'RE NO BETTER than Mr. Schneider, Goyjo!?"
THAT remark HURT [mainly because it was TRUE!], and Goyjo, ALREADY angry and somewhat confused, just got ANGRIER!
"All RIGHT, Little MISSY," he hissed--"You want a "Good Time", I'll make sure you HAVE a "Good Time"--GOYJO style, guaranteed or your MONEY BACK!!"
And with THAT, Goyjo SCOOPED Miho up in his arms and started towards his Suite, too angry to CARE whether any of teh other guys might be there..!!!

Goyjo was so intent on what he was doing [What WAS he doing, anyway? went thru' teh back of his mind, only to be IGNORED!], that he didn't see teh small smile curling across Miho's lips.....
"FINALLY!!!" she thought, "Finally I'm getting WHAT I wanted in teh FIRST and ONLY place! Goyjo, HIMSELF, just like I've DREAMED!" She shivered a bit in excited anticipation, wondering if he would be as gentle as she had heard he could be........
Goyjo was none too "gentle" with teh door of teh Suite, all but KICKING it open in his haste--a quick look around told him that teh other three weren't "home", THANK BUDDHA!, and it wasn't until he had reached teh door of teh bedroom he shared with Hakkai, that his brain finally caught up with his emotions--
"WHAT teh HELL am I DOING!?" he thought, suddenly feeling rather foolish, but when he looked down at teh woman--YES, WOMAN! Miho WASN'T a "Little Girl" any LONGER!--in his arms, her eyes looking at him seductively, her lips parted in anticipation--and he could FEEL her heart thudding with excitement!--he realized he WASN'T gonna say "No" to her again--He WANTED to make wuv to her, Good and Proper, in a way that she would NEVER forget!
"If THIS is what she REALLY WANTS from me, then I wanna "spoil" Miho for all other men, and give her SUCH a "Good Time", that she's a GRANNY before she goes looking for another!" he thought, ignoring teh lack of "logic" in that remark.......!
He set her down on his bed very gently, and kissed her, long and well--then pausing only for a moment, waiting for her to catch her breath a bit, and looking into her eyes, asking without words if she REALLY wanted him to continue--she nodded, nervously but with a small smile--Goyjo began to kiss her neck, working his way down to her collar bone and knowing by her *gasps* of pleasure he was doing it JUUUUUUST right.......!
He was unbuttoning her blouse, letting his kisses trail towards one of her lovely breasts, when Miho, flinging her head back in a gesture of utter "surrender", murmured--
"I always KNEW you would make my FIRST time something to REMEMBER without Shame, Goyjo.....!"
He was concentrating so much on what he was doing [and THOROUGHLY enjoying himself], that it took a minute or two for teh significance of her words to sink in past teh testosterone.......
Then Goyjo abruptly STOPPED what he was doing, and said numbly, "What!?"
To be Continued--
"Miho.....Are you saying that you are a VIRGIN!?" Goyjo asked very quietly, and Miho--who didn't WANT him to stop that WONDERFUL thing he was doing!--answered with a pretty pout--
"Yes..........I don't understand, Goyjo--WHY did you STOP? What's WRONG!?"
Goyjo, wanting to be angry at her again, but instead only feeling somehow "old" and tired and let down, answered in a low voice--"Miho, Honey--What's "wrong" is that......Well, I don't "do" Virgins....."
Not quite believing what she was hearing, Miho smiled uncertainly--"You........you DON'T....?"
"No, Miho.....and there's a reason for that--I may be a lecherous cad to MOST people, but I DO have my "standards", such as they ARE, and "counting coup" on Innocent and Inexperienced Young Virgins is NOT my style--it's just not RIGHT to take something so......Important....away from someone too naive to even KNOW what they're LOSING until it's too late.......Miho, PLEASE try to understand if you can--I've seen Young Women "RUINED" by horrible men who only wanted their bodies as a "notch" for their "collection", then discarded them like so much "trash", not CARING that their chances at a good marriage, a GOOD LIFE, were gone forever, lost in one night that teh Innocent Ones may not have even ENJOYED.........!"
"But, Goyjo..." she began--
"No, Miho--I won't, I CAN'T do that to you, ESPECIALLY! You deserve BETTER, much better--and I WON'T ruin it for you, not even for what I suspect would've been a VERY "Good Time"....for BOTH of us....."
"But, GOYJO!" she cried, tears beginning to flow freely from her eyes--"You DON'T understand! You're my LAST CHANCE, my ONLY chance, before.....before.....!"
And, at this point, Poor Miho broke down completely, throwing herself into Goyjo's arms--"Before what, Miho..?" he asked, aware that SOMETHING was very wrong, indeed.
"Before I am FORCED to marry a Demon who EATS his Brides on their Wedding Night--after RAPING them!!!!" wailed Miho, now finally telling him teh WHOLE story....
Goyjo felt his heart sink as he held teh crying young woman in his arms, stroking her hair, and wondering WHEN such atrocities would EVER end....!
To be Continued......
When her crying had quieted down a bit, Goyjo asked Miho--"WHY teh deception, Miho? Why didn't you just TELL me teh Truth from teh beginning instead of playing games with me? You know I could probably BEAT that filthy Son-of-a Bitch without ANY effort at all!"
"You COULD, Goyjo, but THAT would only get my parents KILLED--he's holding them hostage, and there's only ONE thing that will make him look...."elsewhere" for his perversions......"
"What's THAT?"
"If I can PROVE that I've been......."claimed" by ANOTHER, more POWERFUL Demon, he'll drop me in DISGUST like a soiled kleenex--once he's released my parents, THEN you can kill him, and probably easy ENOUGH, but....."
"But?"
"Goyjo, he CAN'T be fooled--others have TRIED, and suffered HORRIBLY for it, they AND their families! But, UNLIKE those others, I was WILLING to find a Demon--or half-Demon--that I KNEW that I could....Trust.....to NOT hurt me, as well as be willing to kill teh monster who has destroyed so many before me....."
"So you're saying that teh ONLY way I can REALLY help you at this time is to.......Oh, MIHO! You BETTER NOT be LYING to me about all this, because......."
"Because.....?"
"BECAUSE, Miho, my "Little Girl", this ISN'T just gonna be a good roll-in-teh-hay for me, not THIS time....!"
"Goyjo?' she asked uncertainly, as he lay her back down on teh bed beneath him....
"Miho...." he said, burying his face in her hair, then beginning teh "trail of kisses" down her neck again, slowly moving towards teh quivering skin at teh opening of her blouse---
"Miho......I think I'm falling in wuv with you......!"
"Oh, GOYJO!" she said joyously, knowing that WHATEVER happened after THIS, she was TRULY HAPPY, right Here and Now.......

It didn't take po' Hakkai very long to realize he would be sleeping on teh sofa of teh Suite's sitting room, and he didn't mind, really......
But he DID notice that something seemed a bit...."different" about this time--just teh glance he had gotten when he had stepped into teh bedroom told him that much.....For ONE thing, it was a bit unusual for Goyjo to bring his...."dates" back to teh Suite, and teh one other time he HAD [which Sanzo had all but chewed his EARS OFF about!], there had been no "hanging about" afterward, teh lady in question leaving almost immediately......But, now.......They had been snuggled close together, Goyjo with his arms around her, and they had both been....smiling.....!
Hakkai shook his head as he settled down on teh sofa with his pet dragon, and was reminded of when there had been a woman in HIS life--and THEY had slept together very much like that, too.....
----------------------------
teh next morning brought FURTHER surprises, however, as Hakkai awoke to find Goyjo up and dressed already at a VERY early hour [unless FORCED to, he seldom got up early], and carefully sharpening teh blade on his weapon--
"Well, YOU'RE up early, aren't you?" he asked with a yawn.
"Yep--got some "business" to attend to and wanted to get an early start..." was Goyjo's reply, deliberately NOT meeting Hakkai's eye--
teh door to their "shared" bedroom opened then, and teh "lady in question" emerged, dressed and ready to go--"Are you ready, Goyjo?" she asked, sparing a rather puzzled Hakkai a shy smile.
Goyjo WOULD have just left then, without any explanation, but teh young lady didn't seem to wanna be QUITE so rude--she extended a hand towards Hakkai and introduced herself--"Hello, I'm Miho, and you must be Hakkai, am I right? I do sort of remember you from before...."
"Miho?" Hakkai wondered out loud, aware that that name was familiar......"
"Well, I WAS quite a bit YOUNGER when you last saw me!" she laughed, and Hakkai suddenly DID recognize her!!!
"THAT Miho!?" he exclaimed, giving Goyjo a rather APPALLED look, "GOYJO, I NEVER thought that YOU....!?" Hakkai stuttered to a halt, a wee bit too surprised--if not downright horrified!--to continue!
"Look, Hakkai, my FRIEND..." snapped Goyjo, not wanting to "waste time" getting into details right now--he had a nasty Demon to kill, DAMMIT!--"I DON'T have time to EXPLAIN at teh moment--even if I do "owe" an explanation, which I PROBABLY DON'T!--and I'm NOT in teh mood to TALK about what happened last night, OKAY!? So, if you value your Life, DROP IT!!"
With THAT, Goyjo ushered Miho outta teh door of teh Suite, shutting it securely behind him, muttering something under his breath about "damsels in distress" and "nosy friends".......
A bemused Hakkai sat on teh sofa, petting his dragon, then with a small laugh remarked--
"You KNOW, if I didn't know any better, I'd hafta say Goyjo acts as if he's.....in wuv...!"
To be Continued--
Goyjo's GirlFriend--YEAH!!!
If Hakkai had thought his "assessment" of Goyjo's feelings incorrect, all doubts were dispelled when teh water sprite returned from his "mission", with both Miho AND her Parents in tow.....!
Killing teh despicable "Bride Eater" had been relatively easy, actually, as he had become complacent and lazy just preying on those who COULDN'T fight back--he had NEVER expected to come across a Virgin who was not only willing to give herself to ANOTHER Demon--"ruining" all his fun, Blast her!--but was ALSO able to convice that "Demon" to be her Champion!! And he had FURTHER made teh mistake of at first LAUGHING at Goyjo as "just a lowly HALF-Demon", putting teh aforementioned "half-breed" in teh rather ironic situation of "DEFENDING" HIS DEMON HERITAGE, as well as just annoying teh HELL outta Goyjo!
Miho's Parents were of course GRATEFUL to Goyjo for rescuing them--and their Daughter--but were also torn by what their Daughter had done to save them, and VERY unsure about her relationship with teh Half Human, Half Demon "Champion" she had chosen--Would he turn out to be just another "monster" like so many others, hurting their only child as surely as any "Bride Eater"....? And Goyjo, sensing their Doubt--and Fear--checked Miho and her Parents into a Suite of their own, not presuming too much when it came to this Woman he felt he was falling for, in a VERY BIG way........
"Miho," he had explained to her, "I--I want us to "back up" a little bit, sort of slow down and start over, if you will--do you understand....?"
She had looked at him with those huge, bright eyes that he realized had stolen his Heart a LONG time ago, and said doubtfuly--"Goyjo.....are you saying you don't.......want me?'
"NO, Miho! I don't mean THAT at ALL!" he had exclaimed, frustrated because he wanted her like Life itself, but yet was afraid to tell her so.......It had all happened so FAST, so unexpectedly, and Goyjo realized that what was making him hesitate was fear that......that it WAS just a passing infatuation, born of Lust and Need and.....confused emotions--he was afraid he had ALREADY "hurt" Miho beyond "repair", and he knew that he would HATE himself forever if he couldn't somehow make her TRULY HAPPY, not just for one night, but for ALL her Life! More than ANYTHING, Goyjo did not wanna fail Miho......
"Please, Miho! This is very HARD for me--I DO think I wuv you, but......."
"But..?" she had asked, tears falling from her eyes--
"But.....I'm NOT sure that I SHOULD! I may not REALLY be what's......what's BEST for you, and now I think I may have ruined any chance you had to find a man who WOULD be "good" for you......" he paused, and she realized that there were tears in HIS eyes, too!
"Oh, MIHO!" he had cried suddenly, an Agony of Shame and Sorrow in his red eyes--"I'm SO SORRY!!!"
And she had watched him run from her, hating himself and his "tainted blood" more than he had in a long time, not since--since his "Mother" had tried to kill him for being what he had been born......

When Goyjo came into teh Suite he shared with teh other Guys, Sanzo and Goku were there, Goku napping in teh bedroom he shared with Sanzo [and snoring away!], and Sanzo with his nose buried in a newpaper, smoking a cigarette....
Goyjo had been wandering aimlessly for a long while, so wrapped up in his thoughts and churning emotions he hadn't realized he was outside--without a coat--walking thru' snow, until he had gotten so cold his teeth had begun to chatter--it was then that he had headed for teh Suite, meaning to get a coat, but when he got there, his mind was STILL so confused and swirling that he forgot all about teh coat, and was soon pacing back and forth in front of teh sofa that Sanzo was sitting on.....
Sanzo, of course, in SPITE of teh fact that he appeared absorbed in what he was reading, was indeed VERY aware of Goyjo's agitation, and was doing his BEST to ignore teh annoying water sprite...but he was finding that INCREASINGLY difficult to DO, Dammit! When teh pacing stopped, Goyjo went and stared out a window, broo-ding so much it was almost PALPABLE! He lit a cigarette, took several puffs, then crushed it out angrily, and began pacing again--then it was over to stare out teh window again, lighting up another cigarette which he stubbed out again without even TAKING a puff THIS time! When Goyjo started pacing back and forth like a prowling tiger once again, Sanzo realized he was either gonna hafta KILL teh Stupid Red-Headed Moron--or TALK to him........
He eventually rejected teh idea of blowing away teh Half-Demon with his Banishing Gun, MUCH as he would've LIKED to [it would be too much trouble explaining to Hakkai], and put down his paper--Goyjo was back to staring moodily out teh window again, a lit cigarette burning to ash unsmoked in his fingers....
Ever teh "gracious" conversationalist--*Ha!*--Sanzo opened with, "So you slept with her and now you feel Guilty--Am I right?"
It said something about just HOW upset Goyjo WAS that he didn't even bother getting insulted--"I RUINED her, Sanzo--and it WASN'T just because I was trying to "save" her from teh Bride Eater, either....I WANTED Miho, so BADLY I couldn't THINK straight! And NOW......" Goyjo closed his eyes, teh Pain and SHAME showing clearly on his face.......
Sanzo, wondering how he kept getting sucked into OTHER peoples' Stupid Little Problems, Dammit!, asked bluntly--"Do you wuv her!?"
Goyjo didn't even hesitate this time--leaning his forehead against teh cool glass of teh window, his eyes still closed, he answered--"Yes, and I think for a very long time, without even realizing it....."
"Does she wuv YOU?"
"Yes, MORE than she should...!"
"Never mind THAT! Are EITHER of you "happy" with things as they are NOW?"
"Nooo...!" Goyjo answered miserably, "But--"
"Forget teh "buts", STUPID! I KNOW what you suffered in teh Past because of your heritage, BUT--" [How TYPICAL of Sanzo to do exactly teh OPPOSITE of what he just said!] "--YOU are NOT your Father, Miho is NOT teh Demon Woman who tried to kill you, and THIS is NOT Shangri-La, Goyjo! In case you haven't NOTICED, teh people HERE have no such "taboos", and they don't care WHO you wuv as long as you MEAN it--Are either of you gonna be any WORSE off if you decide to stay together than you already ARE apart?"
Goyjo, who seemed a bit surprised by this piece of "advice" from Sanzo, of all people, glanced at teh rather grumpy-looking High Priest, thought a moment, then said to himself--"He's RIGHT, Goyjo, you Idiot! Maybe I'm NOT teh "right man" for Miho, but maybe, just MAYBE, that DOESN'T matter, not THIS time......!"
He *sighed*, then "confessed" quietly--"I always thought I would hafta be alone, Sanzo--it never occurred to me that any woman could "overlook" what I was, and wuv me, REALLY wuv me, for what I am..."
He stubbed out teh cigarette he never HAD taken a puff of, then moved towards teh door--opening it, Goyjo paused a moment...
"You KNOW--from YOU, I would've expected that "Live teh Life that's Before you" line, like teh usual....."
"That IS what I SAID, you Dope!" snapped Sanzo, picking up his paper again--
"Thanks, Sanzo, ANYWAY...!" And Goyjo was gone, out teh door.....
"I SHOULD have just SHOT teh Stupid Moron of a Water Sprite!" grumbled Sanzo from behind his newspaper.

It took a CONSIDERABLE amount of searching, but Goyjo FINALLY found Miho in teh Japanese Gardens, standing on a high bank of Haku's River and staring morosely into teh water flowing gently below her......
"You KNOW, don't you, that it WON'T do any good to jump, Miho--Haku is VERY sensitive about people trying to drown in his River.....!?" Goyjo tried to joke, speaking quietly from behind her.
She glanced back at him briefly, her face still in a concentrated frown, then said sullenly--"Actually, I was thinking MORE on teh lines of pushing YOU in!"
He smiled a bit ironically at that--so she was ANGRY with him, eh!? "NOPE!" he said non-chalantly, "THAT won't do ya' any good, EITHER, I'm afraid! I know how to SWIM, now!"
THAT statement DID get her to turn and REALLY look at him--"You mean that you're HALF water-sprite and you DIDN'T know how just NATURALLY!?" she said rather incredulously.
"You FORGET that my OTHER half is Human--annnnd.....until recently I was.....um...rather-afraid-of-water...." Goyjo answered with a slightly embarrassed air.
Miho was a bit surprised at this unasked-for admission, and she was silent for a moment, then said quietly--"You know, Goyjo, there was a time I thought that YOU feared NOTHING......."
"I was afraid of a little girl who insisted on pestering me.....and I was VERY afraid of LOVING her when she grew to be a beautiful, intelligent and LOVING woman....." Goyjo replied, just as quietly---
She looked up at him then, her pretty dark eyes meeting his red ones directly, without hesitation ["Just like when she was six-years-old...!" he thought]--"Goyjo, WHY are you HERE? Haven't you said ALL that you WANTED to say....?"
Goyjo moved towards her then, and gently rested his hands on her shoulders, returning Miho's steady, unflinching gaze......
"NO, Miho--what I said earlier was NEVER what I "WANTED" to say to you, but what I thought I HAD to say, to protect you from myself, and I'm SORRY, very sorry--"
"Sorry...?"
"Sorry that I was letting myself be BLINDED by teh Past, a Past that hurt me and left me afraid of saying what I have REALLY WANTED to say to you for a LONG, LONG while.......Miho, I DO wuv you, like no other woman I have EVER known! And--"
"And...?" There were now tears in her liquid eyes--and HOPE again on her face--
"And....I wanna be with you FOREVER....even in Heaven, whether it's allowed or not!"
"GOYJO!" she cried, and buried her face in his chest, clinging to him as if he was life itself!
"I wuv you, Miho...." he repeated, holding her gently, but firmly, and resting his face against her soft hair....
"I wuv you, TOO, Sha Goyjo!" she cried, her voice muffled as she pressed her tear-stained face against him, and Goyjo closed his eyes, feeling something very like Peace--and JOY!--flow over him.....
They stayed that way a VERY long time.
To be Continued, Just a bit More........
Goyjo's Wife--YEAH!!
To make a long story short, Goyjo moved in with Miho and her Parents [teh Suites have two bedrooms], and they more or less made it "official", Goyjo giving up his cigarettes long enough to buy Miho a nice ring from Saint-Germain's Jewelry Shop....
"Sha Miho**...." she mused, smiling dreamily at teh ring, "You have NO idea how OFTEN I dreamed of that when I was younger, Goyjo! No other man could QUITE compare with my "Great Rescuer and Protector", Sha Goyjo.....Of course, when I became a woman, I DID look seriously for a Husband for awhile, but, STILL, in teh back of my mind--and in my Heart of Hearts--I guess I was still comparing them to you, without even knowing it....!"
Goyjo chuckled a bit--"I guess I really DID "spoil" you for all other men, without even TOUCHING you! I hadn't realized I'd made SUCH an impression, Miho, REALLY!"
"Well, you DID save my Parents--TWICE!" she smiled, and he found he just couldn't resist her charms--Goyjo kissed his new Wife, very gently, then more passionately, and she responded, VERY eagerly........
--------------------------------------
It was Miho who approached Sanzo for a Blessing--which was JUST as well, since he probably would have SHOT Goyjo!
And Sanzo, who could resist teh "fetching ways" of even teh Merciful Goddess, HERSELF, soon understood how and why teh "Eternal Playboy" Goyjo had been so easily "caught"--teh annoyingly persistant Little Girl had grown up into an assured and forceful Woman who went after what she wanted with all her Heart and Soul, but in a way that held charm and grace nonetheless--
"Oh, ALL RIGHT, Dammit! I'll GIVE you my "official" Blessing for Good Fortune, OKAY!? Do I ASSUME you ALSO want teh one for LOTS of children, TOO!?"
He had been gratified to see her *BLUSH* at that, but in spite of himself, Sanzo had to admit--at least to himself--Miho had his admiration, and frankly, she DESERVED Goyjo! "It'll serve that damned water sprite RIGHT!" he thought with a small satisfied smile.
----------------------------------------------
Truth be told, it was Miho's Parents who were teh MOST unsure about teh man their Daughter had chosen--Oh, they were VERY grateful to him, yet AGAIN, but, still.......
"Miho.."said her Mother doubtfully, "We WANT you to be happy, like we are, but.....well..."
"What your Mother is trying to say, Miho", continued her Father, "is that he IS a half-Demon, which means that your children will have Demon blood, making them--"
"ABOMINATIONS, Father!?" blurted Miho angrily, knowing how HURT Goyjo would BE to hear them say this!
Her Parents both looked down at teh floor, rather ashamed to seem so unkind to teh person, half-Demon or no, who had been so kind to them, even risking his life for theirs and their Daughter's........
"Mother, Father..." Miho said, stemming her anger for Goyjo's sake, "Let me explain a few things about this place that Goyjo and I have brought you to--There are Demons living here, some married to Humans, many with children--and they are ACCEPTED in this place! ANYONE, whatever their blood, whatever their origin, whatever their PAST, can come here and live in Peace, because as long as they harm no one ELSE, there is NO ONE here to "Judge" them for just being themselves--do You UNDERSTAND!? Many of those living here now have been HURT because of what or who they were born, and some have committed terrible crimes for which they have not only paid for, but have been FORGIVEN for, because they WANTED to change, and teh people here were willing to give them a chance! This is a place of Second Chances and New Beginnings, and if you CAN'T deal with that, then you are free to return to Shangri-la--but I'M STAYING, here with Goyjo, for teh rest of my Life, and Imma have his children and Imma teach them that there is NOTHING WRONG with who and what they are!"
Miho's parents, tho' rather STUNNED by it all, decided to stay, and eventually they got used to their Son-in-Law's red eyes and hair--and besides, Sha Goyjo WAS a rather likeable person, whatever his heritage......!
------------------------------------------
And Hakkai, seeing his friend, Goyjo, and Miho together, felt happy for them, if maybe a little sad for himself, but...
"See?" he said to Hokaru, his pet dragon--"I KNEW Goyjo was acting like a man in wuv!" _______________________________
**Buddhist Weddings, if you remember from what I researched earlier, can be rather informal affairs, sometimes just being more or less an agreement to live together as Husband and Wife

And this one last lil' bit I just thought of.......
Miho and Goyjo had been together for a couples of months before her Mother got up teh courage to ask Goyjo about something she'd wondered about for a long time, now--
"Goyjo.....those scars on your face--did that.....happen teh first time you rescued us....? I mean, I've always felt a bit guilty about how you got involved in all that, since you WERE just a stranger passing thru'....."
Goyjo smiled slightly and answered, "Noooo.....THESE happened a LONG time ago, when I was still a kid, teh Outsider teh other kids threw rocks at and teased...."
She *flinched* a bit at how casually he said that, as if it was just "par for teh course", something that just "naturally" went along with teh red hair and eyes--which, in fact, it WAS, in some places.....!
"I'm sorry! I really SHOULDN'T'VE pried....!" she started to apologize, but he smiled again--
"Ya', KNOW--you're a bit like teh Mother I always wanted, in a way! I KNOW this has been HARD for teh two of you, in spite of everything, what with my "background" and all, but you, ESPECIALLY, have always been able to stay fairly cheerful and open-minded, and I REALLY appreciate that, more than you know......I only wish my own....Mother...had been that way......"
Something about teh way he said that told her volumes about teh hurt he must have suffered, and she found herself giving him a reassuring hug--
"Goyjo, I want you to know something," she said with a smile--"I may not have thought so at first, but now I'm SURE that you are teh BEST man my Daughter could have picked, no matter WHO your Parents were!"
She noticed teh tears in his eyes as he answered--"Thank you--that's one of teh KINDEST things anyone has EVER said to me.......Mother..."
And she decided she LIKED hearing him call her that! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, maybe I can finish this now.......
Actually, it was Miho who told her Mother teh story behind Goyjo's scars, both inside and out--
And, of course he told Miho that whole story, because, in her direct and open way, she ASKED him.......
They had just finished making wuv, and she was running her fingers over his face [Miho LOVED touching him afterwards, especially his beautiful red hair, not knowing yet how special it was that he WANTED her to run her fingers thru' it--he had NEVER allowed any other woman to DO so.....], and she had felt teh scars, and had asked about them, naturally--So Goyjo told her how teh Demon Woman he had thought of as his Mother had tried to kill him, for being a half-breed--and a constant reminder of her Husband's Betrayal.....
"...and I've never told ANYONE else this part*, Miho, until now, but...........I would have LET her kill me, then, because--because I thought if THAT was teh ONLY thing that I could do to make her "happy", make her wuv me, then.......it would be worth it, somehow.........."
Miho saw teh reflection of teh Pain and Misery her Husband had felt in his eyes [his red eyes, a color she had come to wuv, no matter what it "meant"--she very much hoped at least ONE of their children had their Father's eyes--and red-colored hair!], and she snuggled closer to Goyjo, wanting to comfort it all away, somehow.....
"Oh, Goyjo! I DO so very much wuv you!" she cried--
And whether she realized it or not, Miho had just gone a long way to healing some of his scars, a VERY long way.....!
*Yes, I KNOW he did tell Hakkai, but I wasn't aware of that when I wrote this story originally......

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Snap and I would like to announce a NEW MESSAGE BOARD--in conjunction with CLASP--for teh ATACT RPG!!!
It's called "ATACT--On Our Own!" and is PRIMARILY a place for more "specialized" threads other than this general one--Specifically, for teh moment, there are Two New Threads to be found there:
--ATACT: teh Next Generation, meant for Future Stories of teh children "born" into ATACT as teens and adults...
--teh "Lost Files", meant as both an archive and place to reprint all stories saved from our [adult swim] days, ESPECIALLY those early ones that were deleted.....
We felt that we didn't want anyone to think that we were "taking over" CLASP with our RPG, but we DID wanna expand, perhaps quite a bit, so this seemed like a good "half-measure" for now. It's NOT meant as an insult or affront to ANYONE, so please don't take that way--we just don't wanna cause any problems, is all, Okay?
Anyway, here's teh address:
snapdragon76.proboards18.com/
Stop on by and take a looksie--we have most everything set up [tho' it still might have a few "bugs" to work out] and register--as far as I know, you can pretty much use teh same name as you use here, I just shortened mine to "stampers" for convenience.
P.S. This Invitation is open to ANYONE interested, NOT just teh current members of ATACT.

It was Valentine's Day, but otherwise things at teh School pretty much occurred as they USUALLY do for Daniel Saverem, Acting Principal.......
He had already "rescued" Hakkai from Nicole yet again [she just LOVES to hang on one of his legs, noda!], after her USUAL "escape" from teh PreSchool Class; he had chased two Animal Clan teens [Wolf and Tiger, he thought] out of a supply closet where he caught them necking; then, checking fifteen minutes later to make SURE they had left, walked in on a "moment" between Gren and Midvalley, who were sneaking a Valentine's Day "smooch" between classes [thank GOD it hadn't been anything MORE than a smooch!]--Daniel had no problems with them giving each other "pecks" like any OTHER couple, even in front of teh kids, BUT, if they wanted to indulge in anything MORE, he DID suggest that NEXT TIME they make SURE they LOCK teh closet DOOR, first!!! *Sheesh!*
Now he was back in his office, staring at a mound of paperwork on his desk that he was SUPPOSED to be doing, rather than daydreaming about his Valentine's Gift for his Wife, when teh sound of someone clearing their throat politely caught his attention--he looked up, and was VERY SURPRISED to see teh Merciful Goddess standing at his office door, giving him a "look" that for SOME reason made Daniel feel VERY uneasy.......
*Ulp!*
To be Continued--
Before I continue this lil' Story, I would like to you recall certain Past Events that occurred at teh Halloween Party.....*Har-RUMPH!*
Quote:Stampers wrote: Speaking of "spiked" Punch..........
Stampers had EXPECTED Daniel to act a bit like Va-sh during teh evening [You know, sweet but SILLY!?], but SUDDENLY, he seemed to be going a bit...."overboard"...! In FACT, he started "hitting on" EVERY FEMALE in teh ROOM [that's INCLUDING teh ones that were ACTUALLY MALE!!!] And, he was having about as MUCH "success" as Va-sh used to [tho' I WILL admit he DID have a better "line" than Va-sh ever did!]
Deciding he'd been *slapped silly* enough, I came up to him [he was NOW "propositioning" teh "female" Sasuke, who WAS showing some "interest"(!)--which I QUICKLY BROUGHT to a HALT! Um....by CLOBBERING a somewhat "randy" and VERY DRUNK teen-age Ninja--Sorry about that, Chibi......], and asked Daniel "Just WHAT teh HELL ARE YA' DOING, Plant Boy!!!??"
"Hey, Zelgadiss! Lighten UP, will-ya'!? Here, HAVE a DRINK of Punch!!!"
He shoved his glass at me, and THEN I understood teh FULL HORROR of teh situation! "Oh, GOD! Daniel, SOMEONE GAVE YOU THAT APHRODESIAC-SPIKED PUNCH, DIDN'T THEY!!!??"
"Who's *HIC!* Daniel!? I'm Va-sh teh SHTAMPEDE!!!!!"
And with THAT, my USUALLY "reliable" Husband was running outta' teh Room after yet ANOTHER set o' "breasts", yelling at teh TOP of his Lungs--"Hey, LADY! Wanna' see my BIG "GUN"!!!??"
I stood there thinking, "I'm gonna' KILL whoever's Responsible for THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And Cyn said: Homaru, who is new to this, decided that he wanted to go as teh Merciful Goddess. And in her infinate jest, and teh fact that she didnt wanna' be bored, gave Homaru some pointers and altered him somewhat so he could ahem *fill out* teh costume.
And Stampers added: *BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!*
I just LOOOOOVE a goddess with a SENSE of HUMOR!!!!
[And she handles her MEN so well, TOO!]
Incidently, I wanna' APOLOGIZE to BOTH teh Merciful Goddess AND Homaru for my DRUNKEN, Aphrodesiac-laden Husband's lil'......um...GROPE of teh, shall we say, "Godly Goodies".....!? Daniel doesn't USUALLY act like THAT--well, except for with ME, of course!--and I APPRECIATE GREATLY that neither of you "blasted" him to lil' Plant-Bits for his NAUGHTY Behavior....!!!
And THUS teh stage was set for teh lil'......"Moment" that was about to occur........*Ahem*
Daniel, still feeling a lil' uneasy [ASIDE from teh fact that teh Merciful One is rather skimpily-dressed much of teh time, he had this vague memory of her, or someone LIKE her, being rather familiar........Or had it been HIM who had been a bit "familiar"....?]
"Uh....Can I help you, Ms....?"
Giving him a luscious smile, she replied, "Call me "Mercy"--that's just simpler--Besides, Daniel, there's no NEED to be so formal, now IS there....?"
While she was saying this, "Mercy" was sauntering into teh small office and making her bare-footed way around to teh side of his desk, looking teh now VERY nervous Principal up-n'-down in an OPENLY appreciative manner.......
"My, MY! Homaru mentioned you were a fine young man, but he didn't say NEAR ENOUGH about HOW fine a MAN you ARE, My Dear Daniel! I'm surrounded by "Perfect People" ALL teh time, but I HAVEN'T seen one so NICELY put-together in a LONG time--not since my Nephew, Konsan, LEFT, in fact!"
Daniel was beginning to SWEAT as a vague memory was fast becoming a CERTAINTY of something he'd HOPED he would NEVER hafta' remember--
[Spiked punch.....Va-sh's bad "pick-up" lines.....breasts.....skimpy outfit......*Ulp* GROPING!]
He swallowed hard as Mercy grinned at him and said, "Ah, I see you REMEMBER now, Darling Daniel! I believe you made a Proposition at teh time, thinking Homaru was ME, but since HE'S not interested, I've decided to take you up on that kind offer! You see, I've been so DREADFULLY BORED, lately, and have chosen to INDULGE in a little....."recreation"......!"
teh WAY she said that, not to mention teh way teh Merciful One was licking her lips, noda, made it QUITE OBVIOUS just what KIND of "recreation" she MEANT!
*YIPE!*

Mercy was now standing next to Daniel's chair [HOW had she gotten there!?], bending down to look him teh eye [AND giving him MORE than ample view of her AMPLE cleavage *Gulp!*], and he started to stand up, trying to get hold of teh situation--AND himself, noda!--
"I THINK there's been a MISUNDERTANDING, Merciful Goddess--" he began, but was interrupted by her stroking teh side of his jaw with one hand, saying--
"Oh, I think you "understand" well ENOUGH, Sweet Daniel! Even at 250 years you're "young" by MY standards, but you can't POSSIBLY be THAT naive...!"
With one long well-manicured forefinger she gave him a "gentle" push in teh center of his chest [MY, wasn't his little Plant heart beating WILDLY!?], which sent him back into his chair with a slight *Oomf!*, and Daniel realized with a sinking feeling that if this were to become any sorta'......er..."wrestling match"....*ahem*, even HIS strength was no real match for HERS [She IS a Goddess, after all]
"B-b-b-but, but......" he stuttered, swallowing hard as she leaned even FARTHER forward with teh rather obvious intention of KISSING him!!!! Just trying to get away, Daniel leaned back in his chair, his eyes wide with a plea for HELP (!!!!) [He didn't NEED more "Mercy" right now, Thank You!!!]
He had NO idea how it all "happened", really, except he MUST have leaned back too FAR in his effort at "escape", because.......
......teh chair tipped backwards, taking Daniel WITH it, JUST as Mercy's lips pressed against his, causing her to lose HER balance as he CRASHED to teh floor, taking teh Merciful One along with HIM--
--and teh NEXT thing he knew, Daniel K. Saverem was FLAT on his BACK on teh floor--
--and teh Merciful Goddess was now sitting ASTRADDLE him in a MOST awkward and embarrassing manner!!!!! [NOT-ta' mention "suggestive", noda!]
"Ooooh, DANNY!" she gushed with a HUGE smile--"If you were THAT EAGER, you should have SAID SO from teh START, You Handsome Creature, You!!!"
Daniel *GROANED* and put a hand to his face, saying, "Will you PLEASE get OFF of me, Merciful Goddess!?"
"Oh, do you PREFER to be teh one on top!?" she smirked, "How utterly QUAINT of you!"
--And she bent down and planted a VERY "deep" kiss on his mouth, causing Daniel to utter a *grunt* of ALARM!!!!
.........And, of COURSE, right at THIS most "telling" moment--
--Stampers walked in......!
[Oh, God!]
To be Continued?
From his position on teh floor, all Daniel could see of his Wife was her shoes, but he KNEW it was her--it just HAD to be, of course!
He put his hand over his eyes and mutter-ed, "I'm DOOMED!" with a *Sigh* ["I just hope she makes it QUICK and not TOO painful........!"] he thought, and waited for ALL HELL TO BREAK LOOSE!!!!
Stampers just star-ed at teh "naughty" lil' tableau in front of her for a moment, then politely clear-ed her throat and said to teh NOT-so-Merciful Goddess--
"EX-CUSE Me, Merciful One, but do you think you could "remove" yourself from teh vicinity of my Husband's "loins", Before--
I KICK YOUR SWEET GODLY ASS STRAIGHT BACK TO BUDDHIST HEAVEN!!!!!!!!??"
*SNORT!*
Needless to say, teh Merciful Goddess "removed" herself, rah-ther hastily, I might add
However, "Mercy" DID take one last moment to stroke teh inside of Daniel's thigh lasciviously as she got up--which made him *wince*, teh po' thing! "Well, maybe some OTHER time, then Danny-Boy," she simper-ed, "You know, AFTER you're a Widower.....?"
Daniel just *Groaned* at teh thought of "what" he had to look forward to.......
As she passed teh still GLARING Stampers, Mercy paused a moment to say with a saucy *wink*, "That's QUITE teh Man you have there, Stampers Saverem....!"
Stampers just smiled a bit and answer-ed, "I know.......and he's ALL Mine, REMEMBER, O "Merciful" One......!"
Mercy just laughed, and saunter-ed away--she hadn't had THIS much fun since teh last time she had "tormented" Sanzo!
To be Continued---
As teh Goddess' laughter faded away down teh hall, it got very quiet in Daniel's office [What is Stampers WAITING for!? Just hurry up and PUNISH me and get it over with, PLEASE!!!!], and Daniel opened one eye for a peek--and found his Wife standing directly ABOVE HIM, a small smile on her face as she looked down at him--*Ulp!* [Is she smiling like that because she's thought of something really TERRIBLE to do to me!?]
He managed a rather crooked and tentative smile of his own in response, then queried, "Well.....? Aren't you gonna even YELL at me......?"
Stampers kneeled down next to her Husband and asked, "And WHY would I do that, Sweetie? Did you wanna make Lo-ve to her!?"
"NO!...but...."
"Daniel, I don't think you realize it, but I have TRUSTED you for a VERY long time--from that First moment when Wash brought you to my house, in fact!"
"You HAVE...!?" he asked, his eyes wide with disbelief, "But....Stampers....I...."
She put a finger to his lips to gently hush him--"If you stayed Faithful to me even when you were stinkin' drunk, loaded to teh gills with a powerful aphrodesiac, AND deluded into believing you were your Brother, then is there any real reason I SHOULDN'T Trust you, Danny? And have you EVER really done ANYTHING to deliberately HURT me....!?"
Daniel shook his head no slowly, tears collecting in his open blue eyes......
"Stampers, I....I LO-VE You!"
He sat up suddenly and hugged her tightly [and as always, not TOO tightly] to himself--"Oh, Pun'kin! Aside from Wash coming after me at Demetary, YOU are teh BEST THING that has EVER happened to me!!!"
Stampers hugged him back, feeling rather deeply moved herself by teh strength of his Lo-ve!
"Funny.....I was ABOUT to say that about YOU, Honey-Buns........!"
Next--A Bit More.......

There was a Special Demon Delivery at Emi-chan's house, and it was Nuriko who answered teh door--which resulted in a bit o' a ruckus when teh Demon delivering got MORE than he bargained for as a "tip" for his "naughty propositions" to teh cross-dresser......
--One black eye for making a LEWD suggestion to what he THOUGHT was a Woman....
--A punch in teh nose for what he said to teh person he now KNEW was a Man.....(!)
--AND a Free "Trip to teh MOON, Alice!!!" for his LAST remark, "Hey, Sweet-cheeks--I ain't THAT "picky"! I'll take WHATEVER ya' got under that dress...!"
Well, ANYWAY, once THAT was over, Suzaku came into teh Shrine of teh Four Gods [Nuriko was NOW throwing furniture every-which-way, and even a god DOESN'T appreciate an ottoman upside teh HEAD, noda!], to find his Brother, Seiryuu, staring down at teh aforementioned Demon Post envelope--
"What's that, if you don't mind my asking...?" Suzaku queried, and was SURPRISED when his USUALLY crabby bro' answered him outright--
"It's a letter...for ME.....!"
Although he wouldn't ADMIT it, Seiryuu was a bit startled by this development--"WHO would be sending ME a letter...!?" he thought, hoping that Suzaku WOULDN'T make a remark on THAT!
After a minute of watching his Brother just stand and STARE at teh envelope ["If you actually HAD friends, it WOULDN'T be such a SURPRISE, you know!" thought Suzaku to himself], teh Flaming One asked, "Well......Aren't you gonna OPEN it?"
"Oh!......Yes, I guess I should..." replied Seiryuu with a start, and proceeded to do so.....
....Only to stop a minute later to ask, "You don't think....it's a BOMB, or something, DO you...?"
Thinking, "If you WEREN'T such a JERK, yourself, that would NEVER have occurred to you, Brother!", Suzaku merely answered instead--
"Even if it IS, YOU have nothing to worry about.....!"
"Oh,......yeah....." responded Seiryuu as he finished tearing teh envelope open and read teh small note inside......
This is what he read:
To teh Great and Wonderful Blue Dragon God of War, Seiryuu of teh East.....!
You are Cordially Invited to Dinner at teh Hotel Restaurant tomorrow evening at 7pm.
No need for Formal Wear, but you WILL wanna look your Very Best!
PLEASE COME and be prepared to Dazzle with your Scinctillating Company and Merry Wit!!!
[signed]
Your HOST
Suzaku, who had been reading this over his Brother's blue shoulder ["Who-EVER they are, they CAN'T know Seiryuu all that WELL!" he smirked to himself], now queried--
"Are you planning to go, Seiryuu?"
But, teh Blue One was STILL a bit stunned by it all--
"WHO would wanna have Dinner with.........ME!?"
To be Continued.........
Blind Date with a God
A rather self-conscious, even nervous, Dragon God stood uncertainly at teh Entrance to teh Hotel Restaurant, still waffling as to whether he should go in.........
From teh moment he had read that Invitation, Seiryuu had been a quivering mass of Blue Indecision on just WHAT to do about it, whether to just IGNORE it [WHAT if it was some sort of "fiendish trap"!?], to ACCEPTING it [*PHSHAW!* Who would DARE "try anything" with teh God of WAR, after all!!??]--Finally, it had been his Brother Suzaku who had "goaded" him into SOME kind of action by remarking casually, "Want me to go WITH you and hold your little blue hand, Seiryuu?"
THAT had made him ANGRY ENOUGH to Snort, "teh Dragon God of War FEARS NOTHING, BA-BY Brother!!!", only to realize by teh now SMUG SMIRK on Suzaku's face that THAT was EXACTLY teh reaction he'd been waiting for, DAMN HIM!!!
Sooooooo......HERE he was, now STUCK with his decision to come, dressed in his Best, bathed and shaved and EVEN his horns polished to a bright gleam---wondering if there was ANY way he could back out at teh last moment and STILL retain his Dignity! [Hadn't HELPED any that Suzaku had called after him as he had left Emi-chan's, "Don't forget to CALL if you stay out ALL NIGHT, Brother! Oh, and DON'T forget you can ALWAYS CHANGE YOUR MIND AND COME BACK!!!!!!!"--BLAST his Feathered HIDE!!!!!]
FINALLY, Seiryuu just got DISGUSTED enough with teh whole thing to decide to go on in--"After all, I can ALWAYS just FRY everyone if it gets....."uncomfortable"....." he thought, trying to make himself feel better [if ONLY his STUPID HEART would stop THUMPING so HARD!] He stepped up to Sanji, teh Maitre'd, and announced:
"I am Seiryuu, teh Blue Dragon God of War--I'm EXPECTED!!!"
Sanji [who, in SPITE of numerous reminders that this was a NON-SMOKING Establishment, had a cigarette hanging from teh side of his mouth] gave teh aforementioned Blue Personage a squinty-eyed looksie up-n'-down [like he does EVERYONE, actually...] and snorted, "Yeah, Big WHOOP--where's yer' Invitation, Blue-Boy!?" Seiryuu, non-plussed by this request, searched his person rather frantically [NOT that he was wearing MUCH to search IN!], then finally remembered where'd he put it, and rather shee-pishly handed teh Invitation over, secretly GLAD that Suzaku had suggested he bring it.....! Sanji cocked an eyebrow doubtfully at it--What IS with those "funny" EYEBROWS, Anyway!?--then grumbled, "Follow me to your table--and KEEP UP!" Rather belatedly he added, "Sir"........
Sanji led teh Blue One thru' teh Restaurant--which, as USUAL during this hour was FULL of people--and to a Private Booth at teh back, where he motioned--in a decidedly sarcastic manner--and said, "Yer' Table, O' Blue One--I'll get you a Waiter....", then he turned away and BELLOWED, "JIRO, YA' GOT CUSTOMERS!!!!"
But Seiryuu was no longer paying any attention to teh less-than-classy Maitre'd--Instead, he was staring down at teh Person ALREADY sitting in teh booth, perusing teh menu with a bemused smile---
"YOU!!!??" snapped teh Dragon God--
"WHAT are YOU DOING HERE!!!!!??
To be Continued!..........*snicker*
Blind Date with a GODDESS
She looked up from her menu to give Seiryuu a good looking over, then said with a warm, if not ironic smile—“YOU!? teh Dragon God of WAR invited ME to Dinner?”<br> Seiryuu, now TOTALLY flustered, snorted angrily and spluttered with a GREAT deal of Indignation, “I did NO SUCH THING, I’ll have you know! There has OBVIOUSLY been a misunderstanding or mix-up somewhere!! I would NEVER—“
teh Merciful Goddess [Yeah, you KNEW it HAD to be HER, Right!?] interrupted his tirade just BEFORE he said something he might regret [teh Dope!] with a warm chuckle as she pointed out—“Well, WELL—This must be what Humans call a “Blind Date”, then, since I CERTAINLY WASN’T expecting YOU, My Dear Seiryuu….!”<br> “BLIND DATE!!??” snapped Seiryuu, still flustered and MORE than a mite angry [but a trifle confused, too—Was SOMEONE playing a JOKE on him!?] “I’ll have you KNOW, Merciful Goddess, that there is NOTHING wrong with my EYESIGHT! In FACT, it’s BETTER than teh average—“
She headed him off again—Mercy DID find his “naivete” not only amusing, but a bit “refreshing”, actually [Most gods she knew were so jaded by now, who’d of thought a god of War could turn out to be so…..interesting….?]—<br> “Oh, DO stop making a spectacle of yourself, Seiryuu, and at LEAST sit down—everyone’s LOOKING this way…!”<br> teh Blue One sputtered to a halt, and glanced around, suddenly realizing she was right [he HAD been shouting, as USUAL!]—in fact, teh entire Restaurant had gone silent as everyone WAS looking his way, some with rather apprehensive expressions, as if deciding whether to make a run for safety……! Giving one last indignant *SNORT*--JUST to show he STILL had his Dignity, Seiryuu teh Blue Dragon God of War, sat, with a *thump*, on teh other side of teh booth from teh Merciful One, picked up his menu and pretended to be reading it, thoroughly…..And DIDN'T notice teh small and appreciative smile on his Dinner partner’s face, as she also pretended to read HER menu while she was REALLY giving HIM a VERY thorough looksie, noda!
“Hmmmmmm….” She thought to herself, “He’s not so bad to look at, once he’s done himself up NICE, for a change………..if one looks past those HORNS, that is…..I may enjoy this evening even MORE than I had hoped—OR anticipated!”<br>
To be Continued---
NOTE: For those who may be wondering, this is teh ANIME Goddess we are speaking of..........(!)

Meanwhile, on teh OTHER side of teh table, Seiryuu was beginning to "notice" his Dinner partner as he cooled off a bit--after ALL, he WAS able to appreciate feminine beauty when he SAW it--and MERCY! Did she ever have a LOT to see, noda! Although he knew teh Merciful Goddess by sight and reputation, he had never really spoken to her before, not usually rotating in teh same godly "social circles", as it were......
"Hmmmm....." he thought to himself, glancing carefully around his menu in what he hoped was a non-chalant manner, "Not bad to look at, at ALL, even WITH her rep for a less than respectful sense of humor--maybe it won't hurt to go ahead with this farce and see where it leads...!" In SPITE of himself, teh Dragon God was DEFINATELY intrigued, enough so that he kinda' FORGOT all about teh possibility that this whole mess MIGHT be a plot against him.
About that time Jiro showed up to take their order, thinking to himself, "Why do I ALWAYS end up with teh weirdos!? I think Sanji must HATE me or something, Blast it all!" He took in Mercy's bare feet, and Seiryuu's blue skin and horns, and gave a slight *snort* of disgust to himself--"Damn hippies and Trekkies...!" he thought--
teh Merciful One put down her menu and ordered teh frog's legs with salad and Seiryuu wrinkled his nose in mild disgust to remark, "Amphibian limbs, Goddess!?" She smiled indulgently and responded--"Oh be ADVENTUROUS, Seiryuu! It's French cuisine, and I get so BORED with Chinese food all teh time--teh Jade Emperor NEVER wants to try anything new or different, teh old stick-in-teh-mud! And call me Mercy--it's so much LESS formal...."
He gave her a somewhat doubtful look--"I think I'll just stay with my favorite dish, tonight.......er....Mercy, if you don't mind...", then ordered teh traditional Chinese entree known as Phoenix, Tiger and Dragon*, with Mock Turtle soup to begin--
"You DO know that that's JUST chicken, cat and snake, and that teh soup is made with beef, I suppose..." Mercy asked with a smile....
"Yes, but I DO so get such GREAT SATISFACTION from "eating" my brothers, you understand!" he replied with a grin, and Mercy realized teh Blue God was actually quite "sexy" when he chose to REALLY smile--AND that he appeared to have a sense of humor, after all!
Jiro spoke up now--"I'm sorry sir, but we're not ALLOWED to serve actual CAT here, so teh chef substitutes pork--will that be all right, sir!?"
Seiryuu was too preoccupied with sharing his joke with Mercy to really care--"Never mind--I PREFER pork, anyway--cat is always so stringy....."
He waved Jiro off with one last order--"Oh, and a bottle of your BEST wine, too....!"
After Jiro had gone, he smiled broadly at his Dinner partner, a smile she RETURNED, just as avidly--both teh Blue One, as well as teh Merciful One had decided to make teh MOST of this evening, Yes, In-DEED...............!
To be Continued--
*Actual dish eaten in China, or so I read in National Geographic once
And so they had a rather fine dinner together, enjoying teh good food and excellent wine--AND each other's company, too! They even ordered teh Cherries Jubilee, which Seiryuu--teh Big Blue Show-Off--lit HIMSELF with a crackle of blue lightning! [teh fact that this lil' "stunt" DIDN'T start a mass stampede for teh door by teh other customers says a bit about teh REST of our "clientele", I suppose.....]
Mercy indulged his male ego with a smile at this--Seiryuu was actually turning out to be a bit of FUN, in spite of his rep as a cranky and morose War God--who'd a THUNK it!? And she HAD to admit she hadn't ONCE been bored since coming to this place--Why this was even more fun than watching teh Sanzo party!
"You know, Mercy......I hate to admit it, but I THINK this place is having an undue effect on me," Seiryuu remarked, "I mean, I actually kind of......like....it here--and it hasn't ALWAYS been this much fun, either!" He smiled ruefully, having already mentioned SOME of what had occurred since he had first arrived at teh Hotel--was it ONLY last Fall!? Mercy returned his smile--"Yes, I HAVE noticed teh.....uniqueness...of this World, and teh way all these VERY DIFFERENT people seem to be able to get along so well....." She had told Seiryuu that her main reason for coming was not only curiosity, but also in an effort to locate Sanzo, who had "disappeared" with his companions after FINALLY reaching teh West and his goal.
"I'd heard rumors of such a place, and wanted to see if it REALLY existed--what do you think makes teh difference for these people, Seiryuu?"
"Just call me, "Sam"....Mercy--it's so much more........intimate...." She realized he was looking at her rather intensely--and she DIDN'T think that shine in his eyes was teh alcohol, noda! "I heard it said that it's teh Power of......LO-VE...that runs this place--I know that's my brother Suzaku's venue, but.....it SEEMS to be rather True, believe it or not!"
Mercy was now RETURNING his gaze with JUST as much intensity! "Oh...I don't find that so HARD to believe......Sam......There's an old Chinese Proverb* which says, "Lo-ve is like War; Easy to begin, but hard to stop"......I find that to be VERY True, quite frequently!"
Seiryuu grinned at her--"I was told recently that perhaps teh role of a God of War was to PREVENT wars from happening, and I find myself beginning to wonder if perhaps that Chinese "Prophet" may be RIGHT--I know that right NOW, I'm MUCH more interested in making....LO-VE...."
Mercy grinned back at him, "I rather like teh thought of THAT, myself.....Sam...!"
"I've heard of a nice spot on teh River bank in teh Japanese Gardens......."
"Sounds........LO-VELY....."
As teh two Deities headed out together towards teh Gardens, arms around each other's waists and eyes ONLY for each other, Jiro delivered their supper bill to a nearby booth where Stampers and Daniel sat together, enjoying a night outta their own--
Daniel looked at teh sum of teh bill and *sighed*--"They WOULD get teh most EXPENSIVE items on teh menu!"
"Oh, don't fuss, Danny--you know it was WORTH it--and it's NOT like we hafta' pay it all ourselves--Snap and Amon liked my idea so much they chipped in, TOO!"
"True..." he answered, then spoke to Jiro, "I SUPPOSE they ALSO didn't think to leave a tip, so we'll make SURE to compensate you PROPERLY for your patience....!"
Jiro smiled and thanked him, then, as he left, Daniel turned to his Wife, who was giving him a "looksie" of her OWN that he recognized--"I guess we can't use teh River bank spot tonight, eh, Pun'kin?"
"Eh, no problem--we got our OWN bed, which suits me FINE, Honey-Buns..." she answered with a lascivious smile that her Hubby LIKED, that he DID!
As they paid teh bill and headed for home, Daniel remarked, "I'm just glad that Emi-chan and Chichiri supported this "Match-Making for teh Gods" Plot of yours, Stampers, that I do!"
"Me, too, Danny-Boy, me, too....."

Hermione found Haku at teh entrance of his cave, watching a truly SPECTACULAR display of thunder and lightening occurring in teh sky over teh Gardens...
"THATS' rather odd, isn't it? There's no wind or rain, just lots of thunder and lightening--and it's too EARLY in teh Spring for heat lightening......" Hermione asked teh River Dragon, draping her arms over his shoulders and resting her head on his shoulder--
"It's not a regular storm, Hermione..." he answered, kissing her with a smile.
"Oh, what kind IS it, then, Haku Dear?"
"It's a Storm of LO-VE, My Dearest--teh kind we ALL make when we care about each other...."
Hermione giggled [which she ONLY ever did around Haku]--"Oh, THAT kind of "storm", I SEE!"
"Yes, THAT kind....."
OKAY, it's "official"--Seiryuu and Mercy are an "item"! And I'm SORRY it took me so LONG to finish this, but--HEY! They can come to teh PARTIES, now, Right!?
[Listens to a HUGE peal of Thunder--which sounds a bit like a woman's LAUGHTER, noda!--followed by a BIG crackle of blinding BLUE lightening!!!]
Well, MAYBE.......*Ahem*
*I ACTUALLY got that from a fortune cookie and liked it so much I've been SAVING it just for this story!
