Goku hides behind innocence.

With his hunger and his laughter and his play, it is easy for everyone to forget. He allows them to think he's only a child, carefree and young. It hurts when they're tricked, when they call him an idiot and laugh at him; but that is his purpose; they won't pry when he falls silent, eyes turning dark and deep. He hides the memories he doesn't have, the demon he can't control, the nightmares of being cold and alone and dark; sunless; because if they don't bring it up, maybe, just maybe, he can forget too.

A/N: do review, I need to know whether this is good. Next: Hakkai.
