This is my first Saiyuki fic and is also my first fic in, like, years. Feel free to comment and criticize. I would appreciate it since my writing has deteriorated so much. Don't kill me if the characters are OOC or the events are inconsistent with the series, I've watched only parts of Gensomaden Saiyuki and Saiyuki Reload.

Since I accidentally deleted my own fic...(big oops on my part), I changed some things that were pointed out to me. Sorry, I wasn't thinking about you guys when I first wrote this fic. Sorry for being so inconsiderate. Gojyo/Kenren is talking.

Thanks to Bmisty157 and MikaSamu for their reviews.

Those Beautiful Green Eyes

Prologue

"Gojyo!"

Hakkai? Why do I feel numb? Where are you? We were just fighting Gyumaoh...

A flash of light... That must be your chi gong. I turn my head in the direction of the light, but everything is blurry and dim. I feel like I'm looking into a tunnel and my vision is limited.

"Gojyo! Are you alright?" I hear you ask me.

I can't move. How the hell do you think I feel? But all I manage to say out loud is, "'Kai...?"

"I think your neck is broken..." you inform me, but I think it's just you taking mental notes about my condition. I can't see your whole face, but I can see green eyes staring down at me in concern. Your monocle is gone...

You know, you look better without your monocle. You shouldn't ever put it back. Take it from a lady's man; girls will like you better this way.

"I always thought your eyes were beautiful..." I murmur.

Those beautiful green eyes...

Why do you look so panicked? Your voice is calm and soothing, but I can see that you're afraid. What are you afraid of?

"Gojyo, please lie here and don't move. I don't want you to get any more injured than you already are," you ask me ever so politely.

If I could, I would snort. Like I can even move...

You're beyond my line of sight, but I can hear you perfectly. The world grows dim. "Goku, please stop!" I hear you cry out in alarm.

Goku? Why are you asking Goku to stop? Isn't he beating the hell out of Gyumaoh? And where the hell is that girly-monk Sanzo? Shouldn't he be the one keeping the rein on his idiot monkey?

I hear a loud crash. Everything turns black. You're back, beside me. "Sorry, Gojyo, it looks like I won't live long enough to pay you back for saving my life," your voice is trembling the way it does when you're in a lot of pain.

Hey, 'sokay, man. Don't stress about it. I know we're going to die. I don't really mind. Life's a bitch. At least I'll be a good looking corpse.

I see light again, and then I see you looking down at me with those beautiful green eyes. They're apologetic now.

As my world goes black with your energy spent and your chi dying, I notice something. There's something else in that sorrowful gaze of yours...Isn't there, Hakkai?

...then there was nothing.
