Truly,Madly,Deeply

And, just in case in after 14 chapters there are still a few readers out there who are puzzled about a few of the Japanese words peppered throughout this story, I present: a Japanese mini-glossary! (I recently got some flak *NASTY FLAK* about this so-called “fangirl Japanese”, with people from all over viciously commanding me to quit it. *shrugs* I prefer to think it’s a matter of taste. As for me, I actually *hear* the characters uttering the phrases, when I write my stories. Especially Sanzo, so *deliciously* voiced by Seki Toshihiko. However, in fairness to readers not yet familiar with Japanese, here you go. XD)
