Hi all, this is my first attempt at Saiyuki fic... And it turned out to be a poem about Gojyo and Dokugakuji. It's not so much about kinship but rather the tragedy that befell the family. Please review and give me some feedback! Tell me if you like it =)

Disclaimer: I do not own Saiyuki and its characters.

I hope you enjoy!


Eyes closed in submission

The bloodiness in a child hidden

He waited for his death

...

...

Seeing the world again

In haziness

Eyes opened to a fallen woman

A sight he never wished to comprehend

...

...

The heavy breathing—a tired sound

And the tightening of his brother's fist

He could hear them all

But not the drumming heart he heard so loud before

From himself

...

...

She too, the mess of hair and dress

Too quiet for him to bear

...

...

"Jien"

The only name he could wake

Was it a thought or a voice?

He could care less

Because his brother did not raise his head

...

...

An intruding noise in their last serenity

Was an ungraceful breath

Escaping

It became a harsh sob that rang

"Gojyo"

...

...

Red pools—in his eyes, on the floor

Reflected the water on Jien's face

The sting across his cheeks

More than any pain he had bred

...

...

"Gojyo"

A worry or an apology

He could care less

It was the end of serenity

And who said it ever began?
