Hello there :D it's been a while. I've been working on this story for a little while. Many parts of this chapter are based off the original anime so…yeah. Goku is reliving his last day in heaven, but still doesn't know where he is or why it's happening. This time I'm really going to try to upload every week if possible. I hope you like the story :D
Disclaimer: Of course I don't own Saiyuki ( -_-)
~Enjoy~
"What's happening…? Where am I?"
"No! Don't do it! No! Nataku please stop!" Goku pleaded as he watched Nataku bring the sword meant for him back onto himself.
"Nataku? Who's that?"
"It's the only way…" Nataku muttered before slicing his jugular vein.*slice* *burst* *drip drip* Nataku's blood spewed expeditiously from his neck.
Nataku's final words were a gurgled apology; "I'm sorry…father…I couldn't do it…Goku, you are my best friend." Nataku has found peace as he slowly closed his eyes forever, leaving Heaven and its corruption.
"Nataku! Nataku wake-up! You can't die! You're my only best friend!" Goku screamed as the rush of fresh hot tears raced down his cheeks.
"What is going on in here?" An all too familiar voice barked, Nataku's father, Li Touten.
"Is that me? Best-friend? Who are these people? What is this?"
Li Touten sighed as he slung Nataku's dead body over his shoulder un-phased by his son's suicide; nor did he look at Goku.
"Ugh, such a waste of a specimen. This coward's body can still be of some use *starts walking away from the room*."Li Touten sighed unapologetically with his back turned away from Goku. Unable to see Goku's movements he was surprised by the event that took place seconds later;
"YOU! THIS IS YOUR FAULT! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TOUCH HIM!" Goku screamed as he lunged at Li Touten; his fangs and claws bared.
"GAH! WHAT DID YOU DO?! AHH!" Li Touten screamed in pain as he clutched his now gouged out eye sockets; his distraction caused him to drop Nataku's dead body.
As Li Touten was wailing and clutching his face, Goku grabbed Nataku's body reeling his body to safety in the far right corner of the room. He embraced his best friend's limp body as his tear-swollen eyes poured out new hot tears that raced down his tan face finding purchase on Nataku's bloodied pale one.
Li Touten heard Goku's sniffling, instantly finding him, and lunged at him. Goku, in his current state, fought with no mercy; this was no-longer Goku 'Seiten Taisei' has made his appearance. All that could be heard around the room were the wails of pain and the squelching sounds of flesh that has plummeted to the marble floor. Seiten Taisei smiled wickedly as the larger god was left as a mere mutilated corpse on the floor.
"Why did I do this? This wasn't right!"
The rush of heaven's army and the bundle of voices were heard after Li Touten's cries had ceased. The West wing doors burst open as the army charged at Seiten Taisei. In retaliation for the two high commander's deaths, the army charged at Seiten Taisei; in hopes of killing him as well.
"My body feels like it's on fire…I can't breath...Sanzo, why are these people after me? Please tell me, I'm scared. Help me! I don't want to hurt them!"
Every attempt made by the army was futile. For every step one soldier made, Seiten Taisei killed five in the blink of an eye. After a mere 10 minutes the entire West and East wing armies were slaughtered. After his last glance at Nataku's corpse Seiten Taisei runs from the room.
Konzen, Kenren, and Tenpou all arrive at the bloody scene too late. They could not see Goku so all they could do was try and listen around.
"Huh? Sanzo is that you? Hakkai and Gojyo too? Why does everyone look so different? How come no one can hear me?"
"Konzen, you must put his diadem back on!" Tenpou instructed
"Don't you think I know that, in order for me to put it on I have to know where the hell he is!" Konzen spat in annoyance.
"Now is not the time to bicker. I think that's him in the corner over there." Kenren pointed out still hesitant to move towards the small figure drenched in blood from head to toe.
Tenpou ,careful not to be too hasty, walked over to the blood-covered figure and called out softly "Goku?". The figure shivered at the name.
"You mean that…that… 'thing'… is sweet little Goku? No …you…must be…joking." The figure mumbled then turned around. "He's somewhere… in the West wing …he left shortly after everyone was killed." The figure turned out to be one of Kenren's soldiers,
"He must not have been too much of a threat if Goku left him." Kenren scoffed.
"Shut up Kenren. Okay, so what exactly happened here?" Tenpou hurriedly asked the imperative question. The soldier wouldn't stop shaking and mumbling to himself making him useless to the three gods.
"Well since this guy is useless…" Kenren took it upon himself to watch the events that took place through the memories of the room; he placed his palms on the marble floor and closed his eyes. After a few moments he explained what happened;
"He…he…slaughtered them all. Commander Touten ordered Nataku to kill Goku and… Nataku killed himself instead of Goku. No one even thought for a second that it wasn't Goku who killed Nataku…Li Touten came in and Goku lost it; tore out his eyes and stomach. When the army arrived they saw Nataku and Touten dead so they tried to kill Goku. They were all no match for him and were all mutilated to the grotesque corpses you see before you."
"Li Touten?! The bastard got what he deserved!"Tenpou cursed angrily as he slammed his foot down on Li Touten's grotesque face; leaving it smashed and dismembered from his limp dead body.
"Goku…what the hell have you gotten yourself into?" Konzen growled, "Now where is he?" he asked Kenren.
"Looked like he was heading towards Kanzeon's room." Kenren answered as he got up.
"KANZEON? WE NEED TO GO NOW!" Konzen yelled as he ran towards Kanzeon's room.
"What's the big rush for?" Kenren asked after he caught up with Konzen.
"If she finds him in that state she'll kill him, I would know she tried before." Konzen said, clenching his teeth.
"But I thought she loved Goku why would she try to kill him now. She's dealt with him like this before."Kenren questioned in confusion.
"You don't understand, and I don't have time to explain it to your slow-ass."
"WHA-?!"Kenren tried to argue but Tenpou interrupted;
"There he is!" Tenpou exclaimed as he spotted Goku's blood-drenched lithe form." But he's…-"
"Surrounded…" Konzen finished.
"And Kanzeon is among them."
