- I DO NOT OWN SAIYUKI because if I do, I won't be here -

Goku had been holding Sanzo's robe for what felt like an eternity.

Both of them were dangling on the edge of the mountain. Sanzo's hand desperately clung on a stone, supporting not only himself but Goku's as well. He cursed under his breath as he felt his grip loosening every minute. He hadn't had the strength to pull himself up. Much to his frustration. Blood kept trickling down his head, making it harder for him to stay focus, to stay awake. His breath felt short and weak. 'Tch'…. How he wished for a smoke right now.

Goku was aware that Sanzo's losing consciousness. He too felt light headed and struggled from blacking out. Both his broken arms felt numb. His body was wrecked with pain and blood was flowing from his gashed chest. Even though he was supposedly the Saiten Taisei, he'd without doubt die from blood loss.

If only Sanzo wasn't badly injured, he'd already climbed back up. And there was himself too… like an anchor, adding to the weight.

"Maybe I should…Well, Sanzo won't like it but I guess I have no choice," Goku thought to himself sadly. It's either me or both of us will plunged to our death. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Nonetheless, it's a one way ticket.

Goku didn't like the idea one bit. He'd never wanted to be separated from Sanzo. He was his saviour. He had given him freedom. Sanzo is and forever will be his reason to live. The light to his darkness. And now, his life is Sanzo's for the taking.

Goku made up his mind. He knew he had to let go. As much as he had promised himself to stay alive for his beloved Sun, to protect Sanzo at the expense of his own life was deeply carved in his very soul. Yet, he wished that somehow, maybe somehow, he would survive.

"Ne Sanzo, I'm hungry. Like really really really hungy", Goku grinned.

Sanzo wanted to yell 'stupid monkey' but stopped abruptly when he met Goku's golden eyes. Eyes were indeed doors to the soul. And from Goku's, Sanzo knew what he meant. "Goodbye Sanzo…and thank you", Sanzo heard in his mind. With the last parting words, Goku loosened his grip on Sanzo's robe and fell into the abyss. Shocked beyond belief, screaming with no voice, Sanzo could only watched helplessly as Goku disappeared into the bottomless pit, leaving him in the most silent night he ever felt in his life.

A cold person he was, he never knew he could cry again after his master's death. Now, streaks of hot tears felt warm against his cheeks. Screaming in agony, with all his strength, Sanzo willed himself up and landed flat on the ground.

No longer had the urge to stay awake, Sanzo gave in to the darkness, hoping to be woken up later what felt like a bad dream.

Then, everything fell silent.
