New story! Yay! I have always been a fan of Saiyuki, but never thought about writing a story, until today. I was browsing the internet and came across a picture of the Saiyuki gang. I read a bit of my favorite volumes of the manga, watched a few episodes of the anime. And then sat down to write this! So here it is!
And I'm a big Goku fan by the way :3
Summery ~ AU.Goku wakes up in a city with no knowledge of who he is. But for some reason he doesn't mind not knowing, instead he'd rather just live normally with his new friends. But just when things seemed to be going great, men come to take him away. Murderer? What the hell?! Rated for Language.
Goku ~ 16
Gojyo ~ 21
Hakkai ~ 22
Sanzo ~ 22

"Ugh, my head." Goku groaned, both of his hands slowly rose to the boy's head and pressed down as to relieve the ache. His arms had a cold, numb feeling, as if they were blocks of ice that were slowly melting. Goku grumbled and tried to pull himself up, but could only manage to get into a sitting position. He blinked his heavy eyes and clumsily rubbed at them, trying to clear the emptiness he felt in his actions. Turning his gaze to the left was stone pathways surrounded with perfectly trimmed trees and two inch patches of grass. There were flower beds systemically placed next to a few small benches and a fountain in the center of a circling stone path.
"A park? What?...Um, am I supposed to be here?" Goku whispered as he turned quickly to look for people to ask his questions to. The park was small, so in every direction a street and tall apartments or office buildings could be seen between the trees. Goku grasped his knees and pulled his numb body into a standing position.
It was dark, but the street lamps, cars, and buildings gave off enough light to see perfectly. Goku stumbled to walk out of the park, but had to rest on one of the benches.
Man, I'm never going to make it at this pace! I can hardly feel most of my body! The only thing I can really feel is the ache in my stomach. Man, I'm starving! Goku rubbed at his empty belly and squinted over to the nearest street, there were still many people walking about, so it couldn't be too late in the night. And that means restaurants are still open! Goku smiled and licked his lips.
The brown haired boy stood up from the bench and slowly made his way out of the small city park and used the last of his energy to run across the busy street. Goku gasped and leaned his body against one of the telephone poles next to the street. Goku poked at his legs through his pants, trying to get feeling back into them. Now looking at his pants, Goku noticed they were furiously ripped just under his knees. Grabbing at his shirt, which was also a little ripped in a few places, but looked alright. It was a dusty red with a brown neck line and arms. The boy wrapped his arms around him, to protect him from the night chill, and searched for an open food restaurant.
A few people looked his way as he leaned against the pole, but most of them only spared a glance before looking back at the path a head of them. Goku was fine with that, he didn't mind being ignored, in fact he preferred it after one of the pedestrians stop in the middle of the sidewalk and just stared at him for a minute straight. Goku gave a harsh glare and laughed as the man turned and ran away.
"Haha! Look at him run! Ah, well now to find something to eat." Goku pushed off of the pole and looked up at the glowing signs that decorated the city. Each one screaming for people to buy their products. They caught the eye, bribed the mind to buy the products while laughing at the naïve customers. But Goku wasn't interested in any of the signs unless they had a picture of food on it.
"No...No...Eww!...Man is there no food at all in this city!" Goku whined, only seeing stores for jewelery, pet supplies, and...waxing. Goku huffed and was pushed to the ground by a man who bumped him hard in the shoulder. "Ow! Er, watch where you're going!" Goku waved an angry fist at the man that didn't seem to notice he knocked the boy to the ground.
"Hey kid, you alright?" A slick voice said from above the fallen boy. Goku's angry face fell to one of confusion as he looked up at the tall figure looming over him. Goku nodded and tried to get up, but his body didn't seem to agree with him. He shook and fell back down.
"You don't look alright to me." A softer voice said, Goku watched as another man stood next to the tall figure. But then crouched down to Goku's face. He was kind faced young man of and Asian decent, his black hair held back by a green head band. The man smiled and held out a hand to the fallen Goku. The boy looked at the hand, speechless. "Don't worry I'm just helping you to your feet." The man said. Goku gulped and searched quickly for a way to get away.
"You're scaring the kid, Hakkai." The still standing man said with a laugh. His right hand grabbed the back of Goku's shirt and lifted his body of the ground and then placed him back on his feet. Goku stumbled but managed to stay on his feet. The boy growled at the tall figure that grabbed him and pouted when it started laughing.
"Haha, man this kid is tiny." The man had deep red-purple hair, with two pieces sticking out at the top like two bent antennas. "Ok, get going kid it's late." The redhead grabbed the other man's shoulder and pulled him away from the silent Goku.
"Bye, now." The nicer brown haired man said with a little wave. The two turned around and went casually down the street. Goku blinked, but then brushed off the encounter and looked around for a food stall once again. The golden eyed boy scurried through the crowds of pedestrians, a big smile stretching on his face when he found a large sign with two dancing donuts. The boy licked at his dry lips and clumsily ran into the shop.
Ding. A bell jingled as he pushed open the door. The woman behind the ordering counter smiled at the late customer.
"Welcome to Daisy Donuts! What can I get you?" The lady said. Goku smiled and drooled over the menu. What's with all those strange lines and squiggles? Oh well! I see yummy looking yellow donut with chocolate and jimmies! Time to eat! Goku pointed to the picture of the chocolate coated vanilla donut.
"I want that one!" He said excitedly. The lady laughed, grabbed the donut in protective plastic and then dropped it into a brown paper bag.
"Sure thing! That's $1.50." The cashier said, pushing the package towards the hungry boy. Goku's smile fell as he looked up to see the cashier waiting to be paid. The brunette's hands fell to his sides, his back slumped forward.
"Oh, um I just remembered I don't have any money." Goku said sheepishly, kicking the floor lightly with his foot. Noticing that his shoes were worn out badly, the black siding splattered with mud and the rubber soles flattened and close to exposing his heels.
"Oh, I'm sorry, but I can't give you the donut without being paid. I could get fired." The lady said sullenly, feeling sorry for the ruff looking boy.
Goku nodded and started walking out of the brightly lit donut shop.
"I'll pay for the damn donut." A grunt came from one of the far booths in the back. Goku turned when he heard the sound of heavy feet making their way to the pick-up counter. The man grumbled but threw a dollar and two quarters on the counter and grabbed the brown bag.
The man had short blonde hair that fell just past his ears and dark blue eyes that could be called violet.
"Wow, sir that is very kind of you!" The lady behind the counter giggled. The sight of the tough, handsome, blonde man giving a donut to a poor boy was just the cutest thing she had ever seen. She gave the man a wink, who just ignored her and handed the bag to the small brunette.
"Um...Than-" Goku stared at the blonde, and was about to thank him for the food, but was cut off by the angry mutters of the man.
"Don't thank me, just take it and go home. Its a school night, brats shouldn't be out this late." The man walked back to his booth and sat down, pulling out a cigaret and taking a long drag. Goku looked at the bag, then back to the nice man smoking in the back.
Wow, that man looks so cool! And he bought me the donut... Goku smiled and ran over to the back of the donut shop and hopped into the booth.
"What do you think you're doing?" The blonde man said grumpily, glaring at the grinning boy that plopped into the seat in front of him. Goku's smile widened, his eyes squinting from the strain. The boy was so happy, flowers danced around his head with rainbows and glimmering stars. The smoker groaned and took the cancer stick from his mouth.
"Get the hell out of here, Brat." The man said, trying to scare the boy out of his sight. But the boy just smiled and didn't say anything. Damn kid, what is he staring at?
"Hehe, your hair is cool!" The boy laughed, opening the brown bag and shoving the donut into his mouth in one big bite. The blonde scoffed and placed the cigarette back into his mouth before grabbing a coffee cup off the table and standing. He walked over to the counter and slapped down a few dollars before leaving for the door.
Goku saw the man stand and instantly went to his side, smiling as the man didn't notice him until he got to the door. The man was easily a foot taller than him, wearing a dark blue dress shirt with the top buttons undone and black business pants, the man looked important.
The blonde pulled on a brown leather jacket and pushed open the door, grunting at the ding. Goku grabbed the door before it shut, giving a quick wave and smile to the lady behind the counter and then raced to catch up with the blonde man. The man walked at a moderate pace through the crowds, but stopped after a few minutes to throw away his butt in an appropriate receptacle for cigarettes. Goku smiled and hurried to keep up with the man, completely ignoring his numb legs and arms.
The blonde man heard the sounds of soft laughs from right behind him, he grunted and kept walking, but the sounds then turned into nonsense humming. With a growl the man stopped in his tracks, feeling a body run right into him.
"Ow~" Goku groaned as he fell backwards onto his butt. He wasn't prepared for the sudden stop from the tall bonde. Said blonde turned and growled at the brunette on the ground.
"Stop following me." The man said coldly, turning and walking away from the downed boy. Goku's eyes widened as the man started to walk away without him. He pushed off the ground with his hands, but his legs just gave out and he fell straight onto his face. Oww, that hurt! The boy looked up and saw the blonde man disappear into the crowds of people.
"Wait! Please! I-I can't get up!" Goku yelled to the man. Goku shuffled on the street ground, hissing when a large foot came down on his hand. "Ow! Hey watch where you're going!" Goku growled and cradled his hand, his head falling to the pavement and pouted when he noticed he had lost sight of the violet eyed man. Man, what do I do now?
A strong force then pulled him into the air and off the side walk. Goku watched his feet and grabbed at his knees to keep himself from falling as he was set on the ground.
"Dammit kid I'm off the clock, get home already." The blonde man said, wiping his hands off on his jacket after letting go of Goku's arm. The brunette smiled and laughed, staring at the tall man, who just frowned."Are you deaf or just plain stupid? Go. Home." The blonde man grit his teeth and glared at the bouncy boy.
"Ah, hehe, well I don't know where I live." Goku said happily. The man slapped his face and raked his fingers through his bright blonde hair. A growl escaping as he looked down at the small brunette.
"Then call someone to pick you up." The man said, shoving his hands into his pockets. Goku patted at his pockets then looked up at the taller man.
"I don't have a phone." Goku said. Holding his hands up and shrugging.
Damn brat! "Fine, use mine. Hurry up. I don't want to spend all night out here." The man's droopy eyes glared at the boy as he pulled out his phone. Goku just looked at the offered phone, then back at the man.
"I don't know any numbers." Goku said matter of factly, smiling dumbly as the blonde cursed and shoved his phone back into his pockets.
"God dammit!" The tall blonde snarled and roughly grabbed the brunette's shoulder ad yanked him down the street. Goku smiled and happily let himself be dragged away. He didn't know why, but being near the man felt right. So far ever since he woke up everything was strange, he got weird vibes and had an urg to find something to make him comfortable and not feel singled out.
"Where are we going?" Goku asked, the man grunted and continued walking without looking back.
"To the station. I'm off the clock, but I'll be damned if leaving you out here gets me a pay cut or demotion." The man said, more to himself than the boy he tugged along.
"Will there be food?" Goku said licking his lips and humming. His feet slipped and he ended up falling to the ground again.
"Get up off the ground!" The man shouted, his anger rising as the boy just lay on the ground.
"I can't!" Goku said in a high pitched cry. The blonde man clicked his tongue and pulled the boy to his feet again. Goku stumbled and fell onto his knees. Grunting as his skin tore from the rough pavement.
"Damn kid, can't you stay on your feet! I'm not hauling your ass for the next three blocks!" The blonde snapped. Goku just grit his teeth and tried to move his legs, his tired arms flopping uselessly next to him.
"I just can't! It's not like I wanted to kiss the damn sidewalk!" Goku yelled, the blonde angrily yanked Goku off the ground again. Goku slumped, but was then shocked to feel the blonde pulling his arm over his shoulder. Goku could only watch as the man held most of his weight and started walking down the street again.
"Don't expect me to hold all your weight, idiot." The man grunted. Goku smiled and hobbled in unison of the blonde's pace.
"How far was it again.?" Goku asked, not hiding the fact he was happy to be by the man's side.
"Shut up and keep walking." The man said grumpily.
