The Tragedy of a Loss
by Temari_88
A tragedy.
It was to be expected, given the type of life they lived: hordes of demons attacked them anytime; sometimes also humans tried to catch them with their guard down.
Sanzo Ikkou's life was a hard one.
Even if they were all apt fighters, a lucky hit could still manage to land.
That day, the clear and cloudless sky was mocking Goku.
There was no rain to mingle with the tears that were falling from his eyes. No, his pain was easily seen.
A great grief for the loss that had stricken him like a bolt: He wasn't with him anymore.
The responsible was one of the demons who had attacked them that morning…
"This wouldn't have happened, if I'd paid more attention…" went on the saru, berating himself and refusing to let his guilt go.
He had a hand firmly grasping the sleeve of the man standing beside him.
When the man started to turn and walk away, Goku glanced at him with an imploring look in his eyes.
"Please, let's stay here awhile more… I want to say goodbye properly…" he asked in a whisper.
The hand of the person near him was raised, as if the man wanted to comfort the boy, then it went down toward Goku's brown locks…
WHAK!!
"Stop it with this bullshit, saru!!"
"But-but I –-"
"I said STOP IT!! Let's get the hell outta here!"
"Just a bit more, pleaseee…!"
"NO! I can't believe you actually cried…! It's a fucking NIKUMAN, for God's sake!!!"
"But Saaanzooo!!! That stupid demon made me drop it…! What am I supposed to eat now…!!"
