Well, at least they replay it on thursdays. So you can still catch it. Which you should, because that was an extremely important episode.

Well, I always knew, but it's nice to actually hear it, you know. You know, I've never actually said it myself before? I think I might be a bit afraid to. But hey, at least I'm open.

NOTE: On Friday night I saw teh last episode of "Saiyuki", and for this reason I'm writing this lil' Story, as a way of dealing with teh feelings engendered by teh events in those last episodes. I will try to keep it *Spoiler-Free* as much as possible.......
Homaru was standing next to one of teh big windows looking out into teh Hotel Courtyard, watching teh children playing there, when Stampers came up and spoke to him--
"I've been meaning to ask, how are things going for you and your two friends since you came to live at Cyn's place?"
He glanced at her briefly, then went back to watching teh children, a small smile on his face, "Well enough, I suppose, tho' Zenon keeps complaining about his room--since teh last move, we all have more living space, but it seems Naraku "redecorated" HIS room with a few HOLES in teh walls for "fresh air", as he said, after we settled in....."
They both chuckled at teh joke, then Stampers added, "Well, Naraku IS a bit "sensitive" about "Demon-Killers", ya' know........I suppose if it weren't for Ophelia and Adagio, those two would REALLY be at each other's throats....!"
"Yes......" Homaru answered thoughtfully, "This place, and ESPECIALLY you people, DO take a bit of getting used to, even when one HAS been searching for just such acceptance all their lives........"
"Is THAT why you and Zenon and Shein came here, then--I mean, instead of staying where you thought you wanted to be.....?"
"Yes, THAT, and............Well, they weren't THERE, teh ones we were looking for, EXPECTED to find, so we.......moved on...and found ourselves HERE, somehow....."
Quietly, Stampers asked, "You mean Rinrei and Zenon's Wife and Son?"
Homaru nodded sadly, and added--"Shein COULD have stayed, waiting for Nataku, but he felt he owed me further Loyalty, and he said that if those Zenon and I cared about were not there, then it was LIKELY that Nataku would not be, also, even when it was time...."
"But you haven't found them HERE, either, so if you don't mind my asking, WHY have you stayed? I mean, we WANT you to STAY, for as long as you want to, but.......you don't hafta--you can continue searching if that's what you REALLY want, Homaru............."
He DID look at her then, his strange eyes not making her *flinch* like they had so MANY others, her concern so VERY GENUINE, her mundane ACCEPTANCE of what so MANY had said was UNACCEPTABLE touching him deeply in ways he knew not how to express.......
"I think", he tried to explain, "that THAT may be teh reason, BECAUSE all of you here HAVE what we three were looking for, but didn't attain--a place to BE, an open acceptance of just about anyone, and anything........a "Home"..............." Very quietly, he murmured, "It's all I EVER wanted..........and Rinrei to share it with......"
Stampers couldn't help herself, he looked so sad, so full of ugly memories of being unwanted--she stepped forward, and hugged him FIERCELY, as if she NEVER intended to let go!
"Homaru--I believe teh Jade Emperor has a LOT to answer for, REALLY, and ONE day his stupidity and callousness will catch up with him, immortal or NOT, if it hasn't ALREADY! And I want you to know that teh only mistake that I think you made was to believe that a new world could be had ONLY be destroying teh old--there IS "room enough" for ALL at THIS "Inn", teh one of mine and teh others' hearts, and we intend to keep teh "doors" of our hearts OPEN for as LONG as we can, no matter WHO you are, WHAT you were born, or WHAT you may have done in teh Past! And, I think, My God willing, you WILL find Rinrei here someday, if she loved YOU as much as you loved HER........"
When she stepped back, he saw that her greeny-brown eyes were filled with tears [tears for HIM!?]--"Now, if you will excuse me, I gotta' go find a kleenex and blow my nose before I get snot all over that pretty cloak of yours--take care and tell Cyn "Hi!" from me, Okay!?"
As Stampers walked away then, wiping at her eyes, she thought to herself--"Sanzo isn't teh ONLY person who can "hear voices", my Friend--we HEARD your cries, that we did, and................You BROKE my Heart, Homaru--You broke....my Heart............."
A Few "bits" of info that shouldn't be *Spoilers*:
--Rinrei was teh Immortal woman that Homaru loved
--Nataku was teh "War Prince" before Homaru, and Shein feels great responsibility towards him
--teh Jade Emperor is teh Ruler of teh Heavens
--Homaru's one blue eye and one gold eye means that he was teh child of a Immortal and a Human, and considered an "Abomination" or Heretic as such [Tho' how teh HELL you can be a "Heretic" for just being BORN is BEYOND ME, noda!!!]

*Naruto Spoilers* A little interesting fact about Akatsuki, teh evil organization in Naruto doing, well, evil stuff. Note that Orochimaru was once part of Akatsuki but he left them to pursue his own goals. Anyway, they each have a ring with a Kanji symbol on it representing an ancient Chinese god. Here are teh ones that have been seen so far. Itachi - Suzaku Kisame - Nanju Orochimaru - Kuchin "Mouth Hand Girl" (name hasn't been said yet, but she appears to have a hand ripped off from Vampire Hunter D) - Seiryuu

"You want me to do WHAT!?" was Nicholas D. Wolfwood's incredulous exclamation on hearing Count D's request.....
"Why ME!? I'm not a BUDDHIST Priest--I'm not even CHINESE!!!"
CD smiled indulgently and answered, "Well, TECHNICALLY, neither I OR Tomo are Buddhist, either, but you ARE a Priest, Rev. Wolfwood, AND a "Holy Man", correct!?"
"Uh...." was Wolfwood's reluctant reply ["WHY teh HELL do these......"situations"..... ALWAYS seem-ta' come to ME, anyway!!?? ALL I was DOING was TRYING to have a little "time off" with my Family, for Heaven's Sake!!!" was what he was THINKING]
"Oh, GO AHEAD, Nicholas!" chirped Millie happily, in her usual manner--
"You're not helping, Sweetie.....!" muttered Wolfwood outta teh side of his mouth at his Loving Wife--which she IGNORED, of course......!
At this point, Nicole, who had been staring up at Tomo with HUGE eyes, piped up--"PRETTY man!", and Tomo bent down to pat her on teh head and smile at her--"Such a Charming Child......"
Count D took advantage of his momentary distraction to sidle a bit closer to Wolfwood and say quietly, "I'm REALLY doing this for Tomo, you see--he still fears Seiryuu is gonna punish him in some way for things he did, or didn't do, in his Past, and I figured a Blessing MIGHT convince him it's ALL RIGHT to be happy for a change--Besides, isn't YOUR God SUPPOSED to be a Just, Loving and VERY POWERFUL one, Rev. Wolfwood......? Perhaps even MORESO than teh Blue Dragon God!? "
Of course, Wolfwood HAD to agree with THAT, noda! [After ALL, he HIMSELF had been once shown more Mercy than he had had a right to expect, or he WOULDN'T be here......with his Family.......] He rolled his eyes in resigned "defeat"--if he got in "hot water" for THIS, then he DIDN'T understand teh "Big Guy" as WELL as he thought, he guessed....
"Oh, ALL RIGHT.....Do you want something "formal", or can I just do it right here so I can get BACK to having fun with my Family!? [He got a *poke* in teh ribs and a gently reproachful, "Nicholas!" from Millie for that!]
Count D, smiling at teh little exchange going on between Wolfwood's Daugher and his Tomo [Tomo was now showing her his Wedding Ring, which she admired with a happy exclamation of "SHINY Pretty!"], and answered calmly--"I think here will do well enough--no need to be Formal as long as it's a Good Blessing....."
Nicholas Wolfwood's attention had now also been drawn to teh sight of Tomo, kneeling down so that his eyes were level with teh little girl's as he smiled and talked with her, and even he could see what a DIFFERENCE there was in teh man as teh result of being loved.......and accepted...
"It WILL be a Good one, Count D--I promise you that..."
To be Continued--

Ooooooh! WHICH one!!!
HEEL, Seiryuu! Bad Dragon!!!AHH! I would tell him to "sit" after that... but well my hair is once again defying gravity due to teh "electrical disturbance" from a certain blue god. It was a Kirin... which would be a "beast form" of Tai Itsukun as I understand it. Even though she doesn't have a "beast form" in FY.
