Chapter 1
Goku was sleeping. He was aware of it, which was very strange. Never before he was aware when he sleep. His dreams were often dark, and Goku was happy to forget them when he wake up. Their life was hard enough with their long journey without having him wonder about his dream. But this time is different. Goku knows that he will remember this dream. He don't know why, but he is sure of it.
Goku found himself in a strange place who felt somehow at the same time nice and frightening. He looked around but he can't see anything but white blinding light. He wanted to escape but it was like if his feet were stuck to the floor. So, he waited for what will happen with his heart thundering in his chest. Suddenly the light faded and Goku found himself under the most marvelous sakura tree he had ever seen. There is a man here too. He wore the same outfit as Sanzo but his face only shown kindness instead of anger and boredom.
" Finally." Said the unknown Sanzo. " You have come ! So, the time is close."
" Who are you oji-san ?" Asked Goku. " Are you one of Sanzo's friend ?"
" My name is not important. What is important is for you to save Koryu !"
" Koryu ?" Asked a puzzled Goku. " Who is he ? How can I save him ? I can't leave Sanzo and the others !"
" I don't ask you so. I just ask you to be there when he would need you."
" But I don't know who he is. How can I help him if I was not sure he is the right one ?"
" Don't worry. When the time would come, you will know. Promise me you would be there for him."
" I can't." Pleaded Goku. " I can't leave my friends."
" You can't leave the man you are in love with." Said the Sanzo with a very nice smile.
" I'm not in love with Sanzo !" Exclaimed the young man. " No way !"
" Does I have said a name ?" Asked again the Sanzo.
Goku can't help himself but blush like he never had. In fact the man was true. He had never said Sanzo's name. Goku felt ashamed for not being able to hide his true feeling from a stranger.
" Don't worry." Continued the man. "He don't suspect anything. I'm just good at reading the people. And I once had a friend who had loved me the way you love your Sanzo. Unfortunately, I don't have shared the same love as him. He was a dear friend but nothing more. And he had never understand it."
" Sanzo don't love me too." Said Goku in the matter of fact tone. " I understand and accept it. I'm just glad that he let me travel with him."
" Are you sure of it ? You know, sometime, we had reason to hide our true feelings."
" Sanzo is not like this. I'm just his charge."
" Maybe you are right, or maybe you are wrong, who knows ? But you still had to protect my dear Koryu. Please, I beg you save him !"
" If I found him, I will try to help him. That's all I can promise to you."
" And that's all I ask from you." Answered the man. " now, I have an other thing to ask you..."

This night Hakkai was sharing a room with Goku. It was very unusual, but Hakkai had wanted to spend some time with the younger member of their party to discuss about some things. Hakkai had found Goku a little depressed since Azel's death and he wanted to talk with him about it. Hakkai was surprised to see that Sanzo had agree with his idea. Gojyo was not happy but he had also play his part. And all for nothing, because Goku had only said he was fine, and there is no reason for Hakkai to be worried for him. It don't have escape Hakkai that Goku had said that only him was worried for him. But it's true that with the way Sanzo and Gojyo treated Goku, the young man can wonder if he was important to them. Unsatisfied with the conversation, Hakkai had gone to bed soon after Goku had.
It was the sound of Goku's voice who wake up. At first he believed that the dawn had come because the whole room was illuminated. But soon Hakkai saw that the light was coming from Goku's sleeping form. The whole body of the young itan was bathered in golden light, so bright that Hakkai can't almost keep his eyes open. It was a frightening sight. So Hakkai ran to his young friend in the hope to help him. But the light repulsed him and send him flying into the wall. Hakkai was knocked by the shock and the only thing he can heard before he lost conscious was Goku's voice saying " I promise !"
To be continued.
A short chapter, I know but I hope it had give you wish to read more. I still don't have a personal computer and I have to go to a cyber-café to post my update, so the more review I get the sooner the update come. Because it cost me a lot of money ! So give me a review if you want to read the next part soon.
I don't know for you but I found the translate voice of the Sanzo party horrible. The English voice are bad, but the French one are totally horrible. You have to wonder if Goku is a girl or if he had inhaled some helium before he talk. The horror ! The Japanese voice are so much better !
Next chapter : Sanzo's dream.
