Hmmmmm..... Well this mostly follows the Manga.
Sorta a 'What If' more of a 'Maybe'
I hope you like it, please excuse any spelling errors.
Disclaimer: I don't own Saiyuki, But I can assure you my waking (and sleeping) moments are consumed with fantasies of owning Goku, Sanzo, Gojyo and Hakkai. (Yes, I'm a sick sad little girl. Problem?)
Enjoy! _!

"Hey Hakkai....after this is over....Please do whatever it takes to stop me ok?"
"Goku.....you wouldn't!"
"I...can't kill him the way I am now. But.... I can't afford to loose."
"I'm Counting on you."
"Goku.."
I watched him reach up and push the golden limiter off his head. It hit the sand quitely, showing no idication of the power it was unleashing.
I watched Goku sink to his knees, as who knows what thoughts or feelings crashed through him. Echoes of broken chants faded away.
Son Goku.
I couldn't believe any being could be so fast, so powerfull. His vicious delight in killing turned my stomach as I thought nothing else could. I had to remind myself, that this was still Goku. The adorable little brother I adopted and cared for. The bundle of energy and a constant source of entertainment, without which, we would have sunk into depression long ago.
"This isn't a fight for him. He's enjoying it."
'He was playing with us, a souless child.'
A single hit took Gojyo down. I watched the child smile in satisfaction, his wild hair shading his animal eyes.
He brought a foot up to crush Gojyo's skull.
In a sudden moment of sick realisation, I knew he would. He would kill us all, his friends and the only family he had. Sanzo who he worshipped and looked up to would be destroyed in a instant.
And he would enjoy every moment.
I fired a blast at him, not designed to kill, but even if I had, I wondered if it would do any damage.
It knocked the boy over, and he landed in a crouch, his attention now centered on me.
"That's enough Goku. It's been 30 Minutes since Sanzo was impaled.
This is the limit."
"If you rampage any longer, _you're_ the one who'll get hurt."
He smiled, an Idle warning.
Then he was upon me, claws tearing. Even able to anticipate his moves, I could barely dodge them! I managed to catch his arm and slammed him onto the ground. I pinned his body with my weight, one hand pressing his head into the sand.
"Gojyo! Get the Limiter!"
Gojyo staggered to his feet, and a movement beneath me caught my attention.
But I was too late to stop the fist smashing into my stomach.
He threw me off as if I were nothing but a broken doll, then casually hurled me at Gojyo. The impact sent shockwaves of pain through my stomach, where I suspected several internal injuries. Gojyo groaned and wrapped an arm around his chest. Broken bones no doubt.
I got to my knees, a hand pressing against the pain in my stomach.
Goku leapt into the air, and the next thing I knew was a flash of red pain, before I was lying once again on the sand.
This time there was no way I could stand.
How could he have so much power?!
"Go...Goku.."
He moved closer to finish me off. As he raised his razor-sharp nails to tear me apart, his face was cold. Disdain for my weakness evident.
I stared desperately into his amber eyes, praying for some flicker of recognition, some sense of the Goku I knew.
Nothing.
I was going to die.
"Calm the fuck down, dumbass ape."
'Sanzo'
Goku turned to face this new threat. His golden eyes promising Death.
Sanzo stood with his gun pointed directly at Goku.
'Sanzou...
There's no possible way he could have stood up in his condition...'
"Just _try_ to kill me."
I watched him squeeze the trigger, fear coursed through me. Fear and disbelief.
"Too bad I got no bullets to waste on you."
Amazement as he tossed the empty gun over his shoulder. He rammed a knee into Goku's stomach, using the boy's own momentum to damage him. Infuriated, the monster-child delivered a crushing kick to the priests jaw.
Sanzo flew backwards and hit the sand, Goku leaping ontop of him.
There was an instant, when their eyes met, when Goku paused.....
I thought he had come back.... certainly there was a flicker of recognition....
Then the binding sutra errupted around the two, Goku raised his ams, defensively, but he could not escape Sanzo's powerfull binding.
With a scream of rage, Goku was once again bound by the limiter.
'He's Back...'
The Child collapsed, exaughstion plain on his peacefull, sleeping fatures.
Sanzo lay back, one hand resting on Goku's head, which was in turn resting on Sanzo's stomach.
"Hmph. Dumbass ape."
His final words, before he too passed into unconciousness. Were it not for the sheer intensity of what had just happend, I would have been very tempted to smile at the cute image they made, sleeping peacefully together.
But there was work to be done.
-----------------------------------------------
Goku sat huddled on the roof of the Inn. He had wrapped his arms around his legs and rested his chin on his knees.
His golden-brown eyes were gazing sadly into nothingness.
That was how Gojyo found him. The boy's small shape was silouhetted against the full moon, lonliness seeming to eminate from him.
"What are you doing out here, It's freezing. Dumbass Ape."
"......."
Gojyo sat down next to him, and was supprised when Goku turned away from him.
"Hey what's up?" He asked in puzzlement, shifting so he could see Goku's face. Goku quickly burried his face in his knees, but not before Gojyo caught a glimpse of silvery wetness on his cheeks.
"You're _crying_?!"
"Shut up."
"Why the fuck are are you crying, sissy Ape."
".........."
Gojyo frowned. Why wasn't the kid answering his insults?
"I almost killed you. All of you."
Gojyo scowled. "Hey, I haven't sunk to the level where a weak monkey like you can kill me. Do I look dead to you?"
"If Sanzo hadn't.... He was sick, and he.... It's all my fault."
Gojyo was silent.
"He must hate me."
"Sanzo hates everyone. Don't feel special."
"Im sorry. I lost control."
"Then just don't do It again."
Goku looked at him them, goldenbrown eyes haunted. So this was what was troubling him.
"But what If I loose control again?! What If I kill you or Hakkai, or.. Sanzo..."
"I don't think Sanzo would be too happy to go down to a stupid monkey, and I know I and Hakkai wouldn't be. Stop being so serious and come inside to have some food."
"No, Im not hungry."
Gojyo's eyebrows shot up. "Well I am. So C'mon." He grabbed the younger boy by the arm and pulled him back to the ladder. Goku didn't resist, his eyes remained downcast, his features shadowed. Gojyo could tell he was thinking something through. Whatever it was, he hoped the kid made the right decision. Why wasn't Hakkai here? Sensitive stuff was in his arena.
'Because' Gojyo answered himself, 'You were the one who was worried about him, and you were the one who came to see if he was ok.'
He snorted to himself and wondered off to his bedroom, deciding he wasn't hungry after all.
Goku padded silently past his door and opened the one to Sanzo's room silently. He looked in to see Sanzo lying on the bed, heavily wrapped in bandages. Hakkai was alseep in the chair next to him, brusies still evident on his face and chest.
He steped back and silently closed the door again. He stood still as stone for a moment, before moving to his own room.
Hakkai cracked an eye open, and glanced first at the closed door, then at the sleeping priest on the bed.
'First thing tomorrow.' He decided. 'First thing, I'll tell Sanzo he has to talk to Goku. For now, It's enough that he's out of the cold, and in bed.' With that thought, he closed his eyes again, and dropped into sleep.
Not knowing how wrong he was.
Not knowing that at this very moment, Goku was setting off down the road.
Not knowing Goku didn't plan on returning.
