The wind blew gently, whipping the cherry blossoms of the trees and tossing them into the air, where they danced and circled with the wind. Goku watched the strange dance, nibbling on a breadstick slowly. This all seemed strangely familiar and for the life of him he could not figure out why! His golden eyes fell back to roaming across the other three members of the group. Gojyo was leaning back against the trunk of the cherry tree, sipping sake from a flask, his crimson eyes watching the pink cherry blossoms. Hakkai was seated beside Gojyo, a knee crooked with an arm resting on it and fingers set as if they were supposed to be holding something

But then they closed and began to play out a rhythm on the air. His dark green eyes watched Gojyo growing drunk by the mouthful. Goku's eyes moved to Sanzo, who was sitting cross legged a little ways away from him. He held a cup of water in it, eyes intent on the water. His brow was slightly furrowed in his

concentration. Goku blinked, trying to clear the sense of déjà vu, but the sense stayed with him and only intensified with Gojyo stood, swaying slightly, and asking, "So who wants to race me to the top?"

Hakkai arched an eyebrow at that, knowing what would most likely happen if his friend climbed to the top of the tree. "Don't fall," he said slowly, trying not to smile.

Goku jumped to his feet, a smile on his face at wanting to see Gojyo fall from the tree. "You're on!" he said, still smiling. His sense of déjà vu disintegrating in the moment of seeing Gojyo fail at something.

"Oh ho! Gonna challenge me?" Gojyo asked, turning to face Goku. His crimson eyes had lost some of their blurriness in the face of having a challenge.

"Damn right I am!" Before Gojyo could respond, the boy had grabbed a low branch and swung himself up on it.

The red haired man growled and followed Goku up the tree, somehow managing to find places to grab onto despite his state. As he grabbed onto another branch, there was a snap followed by a scream of shock and then shouts.

"You goddamn monkey!" Sanzo

[Konzen

yelled, pushing Goku off of him. The boy had fallen on top of him when the branch he had grabbed onto had snapped under his weight.

Goku rubbed his head, smiling with embarrassment. "Thanks for catching me, Sanzo," he said, slowly climbing to his feet as he flipped Gojyo off who was laughing from the tree.

"Anytime, anytime," the drunken kappa answered, still roaring with laughter.

"It's not his fault," Hakkai said with a smile as Sanzo continued to verbally berate Goku. "The branch already had a crack in it."

Sanzo shot a glare at Hakkai, light purple eyes flashing in the sunlight. "Don't take his side!" he snapped before sighing. The foolish boy had been damn lucky he had not broken his neck.

Goku shook his head again as the feeling of déjà vu hit again and this time refused to live. He felt like he should be somewhere else and that his friends should look different in some way.

"Are you okay, Goku?" Hakkai asked from where he sat, green eyes worried.

"Yeah...yeah...just feel like this has happened before..."Goku answered, looking off into the distance and wishing he knew why it was so familiar.

"I'm going to bring them here," a soft voice floated through the whiteness. It seemed to command a sense of urgency and that it was not to be messed with despite its feminine quality.

"Why?"

"They all need to know..."

"Know what?"

The first voice did not answer and there was a sense that the owner was shaking her head, unable to find the words of what to say.
