Kaedo POV
I walked outside and I saw jack.. Talking to the cloaked figure..
I was at a loss for breath and he spotted me and tackled me down.
"You tell them.. And your dead you here me kid?!", He snapped holding his sword to my throat.
I nod and feel my adrenaline kick in.
"Oh my god.. Your a demon..", I said and jack scoffed.
"Obviously."

Tripitaka POV
3 days have passed since the date and me and monkey have been growing closer. Pigsy and sandy still aren't dating even though it's obvious they like each other.
I finished of my dinner and look at Keado who's fiddling with his leather nervously like he had learned something and couldn't find the words to talk about it. Jacks sat across from him.. Staring at him..
"Tripitaka,", Sandy said breaking the silence. "Would you um.. Ur... Wanna mess with my hair?"
It was a tempting offer.. We had done it the other night and Pigsy couldn't tear his eyes of her. It's how it was when monkey saw me in the outfit he got me.
I felt my hands go sweaty and I smiled to sandy.
"Ofcourse.. Come over here and grab me a hair brush please."
Sandy moved like a child as she bounced on her feet.
Kaedo chuckled and started playing with his gadgets.
Pigsy was starting to make the beds again seeing as were probably staying another night here.
I start brushing the ends of sandys hair and make my way up. I do it gently and kindly. I kinda miss having long hair.. But it's quite nice doing sandys.
I started to remember how this bonding thing started.
It was after we had found the fourth scroll.
And sandy was tapping her foot of figuring nervously.
"What's up Sands?", I asked and she looked st me and chuckled.
"N-Nothing!"
I could tell it was about her feelings for Pigsy.
"Um.. What relaxes you? If your feeling agitated..", I asked and she stopped moving and pondered for a minute or two.
"Getting my hair washed.. Or brushed.. I can't do it myself.. I never learned. Why do you think my hairs like this?"
I let a light chuckle escape my lips. Sandy can be sweet when she wants to be.
"I used to let my mum do it.. Before.."
I decided to stand up.
I grabbed her hand and pulled her up.
"Come on. Let's go wash it then."
After wards the water was so dirty I nearly threw up.
How can someone with water powers not be able to was there own hair??
We do bath.. But I never noticed how sandy doesn't get her hair wet..
But it looked less frizzy and it was surprisingly thick still.
I ran my hand down the soft hair.
Soft like monkeys probably is..I always wanted to do his hair.. Never got the chance to ask.
"What do you think?", I asked and she ran her hand down it.
"It looks amazing thank you Tripitaka." The way her vioce had lit up made my day.
And now it's just something we do if we're bored. It catches Pigsy attention so thats an added bonus. Shame I don't have long hair sandy could try and learn from it. I mean she could do monkeys hair.. In a non-feelings way.. I mean.. Actually. I'll ask him that when he gets back.
After all of my thinking I look down to see sandys straight locks.
Keado looks over and raises his eye brows at how nice she looks.
"Looks good Sandy.", He said and Sandy smirked.
"Aww Thanks Kaedo I'm sure trip would do your hair any day.", I don't think she meant it as a joke but Keado took it like one.
"Haha so funny.."
I rolled my eyes and handed her the brush.
"Are you sure Kaedo?"
He rolled his eyes and then sat down on her lap.
She then stared brushing his hair and I couldn't help but laugh.
Pigsy laughed to. His laugh felt of like he was jealous though.
Kaedo sat there and started laughing at how silly it is. Then monkey returned from scouting and monkey stared at Keado frowning.
"Um.. Excuse me.. What are you doing to the poor kids hair.", He asked and took the hair brush of sandy.
"Poor kid.. You've ripped loads of his hair out.", He pouted and I couldn't help but laugh at him. Who knew his turns soft around hair??
Then again he always brags about his hair..
Sandy just loves to sit next to Pigsy and I see the red on his face. They seem to have grown closer since me and monkey had left.. I hope they've admitted there feelings again.
They start doing there own thing but I'm watching monkey as he brushed Keados fringe.
"Ok that's enough monkey.. It's weird when you do it.", He said and got up brushing himself of. I secretly saw the smirk on his face.
"Oh..", He said and I sat down next to him. I saw his face light up a little bit tho.
I couldn't help but blush.
"U-um.. C-can I do your hair? I promise I'm gentle unlike sandy!", I said in a rush. He smiled and passed me the brush.
"Alright."
I then sat behind him and stared at his perfect hair.
God.. One wrong move and it's ruined..
"Can I.. Just brush it?"
He nods and I start to brush it.
It feels amazing... His hairs so soft.. Like a baby feather. I run my Hand along his scalp and I feel hims lightly shiver? Under my touch.
"Am I doing it right?"
All he does is nod.
I smile and turn him around so he can face me. I then start to brush his parting and I run my hands along it aswell.
I look down to see him staring at me his face red.
"What?"
"Nothing.. Your cute when you concentrate.", he whispered so the others don't hear.
I blush and kiss his forehead after finishing.
