Sanzo groaned when he opened his eyes and got an eyeful of his own reflection. Why were there mirrors on the ceiling? What the hell kind of place had they stopped at last night? He didn't remember the mirrors, but then again he really hadn't been paying much attention before he collapsed onto the bed. Wait... Where was Goku? The monkey had gotten

"I don't believe I stuttered, did I? They're not here. Gojyo's... been gone for a little while and Goku, thankfully, hasn't been here as far as I know. Really, a love hotel isn't the place for him, even if the food here is quite good."

"Please do. I'm still in full possession of my power here, but healing still taxes me as it did before. Thankfully, my demonic side hasn't been overly difficult to control during my stay here."
Again, it was polite Hakkai-speak.
