Revenge

Sanzo followed the war god to a dark dungeon, to where they supposedly were keeping their youngest comrade. His jaw became white as he clenched it, if Goku was even hurt one bit, he was going to kill them personally himself. "We're here." Nataku said, in a monotone, they had stopped infront of a dark cell.

"Goku?" Sanzo said, placing a hand on the bar, "Are you there?"

He heard shuffles of chains coming from inside, "Sanzo..." Yep, Goku was indeed in the dark cell. His voice was raspy, and something just didn't seem right to the monk, "Sanzo, is that you?"

"Yes, it's me..."

Goku moved closer to the light, and Sanzo froze up. His eyes were covered in bandages, he had no shirt on, and he was so skinny you could see his ribcage, this pissed Sanzo off on so many levels. He turned to Nataku, "What the hell did you do to him?!"

"I wasn't there when my father did it, sir." Nataku said, again, showing no emotion whatsoever.

Sanzo pointed his gun at him, "You lie..."

Nataku didn't even flinch, "I'm sorry..."

Sanzo payed him no heed, and put down his gun, "You should be, but it's not you I'm after...where the hell is your father?" Nataku didn't answer, "I said, where is he?!"

"I'm right behind you, Konzen.." Sanzo turned to face Li Touten. Eyes narrowed, "I thought you'd come first. I was right."

Sanzo pointed his gun again, "Don't ever call me by that name, I'm not Konzen, I'm Sanzo...now let Goku go."

Li Touten smirked, "You know very little, Konzen Douji...go ahead and take the monkey, I had my fun with him." That made Sanzo even angrier, but he decided to let it slide this time.

Goku didn't move, that disturbed Sanzo, but he took hold of the his wrist, "Let's go..."

"Sanzo, what about..."

"I'll deal with him later." Sanzo said, while getting Goku out of the cell, "We have a mission to complete, baka." Li Touten laughed, but they ignored it, "And as for you, Nataku, I don't want to see you near us again..." With those words spoken, the two left.

"Dammit, Hakkai! Can't you drive any faster?" Gojyo said, as he sat in the seat Sanzo usually sat in. Hakkai sighed, but didn't respond, noticing this, Gojyo didn't pursue the matter any further. "Hey, 'Kai?"

"Yes, Gojyo?"

"You think Sanzo found Goku, yet?"

There was silence, "Yes...I'm sure...I'm sure Sanzo heard his voice. He has in the past, Remember?"

Gojyo nodded, "Yeah, I mean, who cold ignore a voice like Goku's? It's sooo annoying." The two laughed at his little joke, "Yes, I think Goku's going to be alright. He can handle himself."

There was nothing more Sanzo hated than annoying brats, so why did he pick Son Goku up? He could remember his voice sounding so desperate for something to come get them...Sanzo almost felt pity. He shook his head, no, he could not feel that. That feeling, along with love, was weak. And he was not a weak person.

"Goku! You baka! Stop rambling! I'm getting a damn headache!" Sanzo said, as he placed his hand on his head. Goku stopped talking, and sat down quietly.

"Ok.." he whispered, as if talking louder would make it worse.

"You don't have to talk like that." Sanzo said, whilst sweatdropping.

Goku smiled, "Ok...I'll try not to bother you."

"Fine...do what you want."

Sanzo sat down, and took out the local paper, then read it. Goku started to draw again, this time, it was just scribbles of red and green, "What are you drawing now?"

Goku looked up at him, "Blood and green stuff..."

"Why?..." Sanzo asked again, Blood? Why would he draw blood?

"Because Gojyo's hair is the color of blood and Hakkai's eyes are green. They are friends, so I'm mixing them together." Goku said, as he looked at his own drawing, "You think so?"

Sanzo didn't say anything, "Stop drawing stupid pictures..." Was all he said, Goku frowned deeply.

"But...I like drawing and I dun' know what to draw."

"Draw a cat or something."

"Aren't you allergic to cats?"

Sanzo stared down at the boy, "Who told you I was allergic to cats?"

"One of the monks..."

The monk rolled his eyes, and continued to read the paper. True, he was allergic to cats and he hated them with a passion, but he wasn't going to let Goku know that..

"Oi! If it isn't our favorite monk and monkey!" A voice came from the door, one that Sanzo did not want to hear right now.

"Shut up, kappa." Was the monk's rebuttal.

Hakkai gave them a smile, "We thought we'd drop by for a visit, to see how you two are doing." Sanzo didn't say anything, and Goku just waved the best he could, since he was laying down on his stomach.

"Whatcha drawing, squirt?" Gojyo asked, as he stood above the boy.

"Blood and grass... I think.."

"Blood?" Hakkai looked at Sanzo, who shrugged.

"Don't look at me..."

Hakkai knelt down, and politely smiled, "Why is it that your drawing Blood?"

"Cause it looks like Gojyo's hair."

Gojyo paused, and didn't say anything, "Well, it kinda does, I guess."

Hakkai stared, "And the green stuff?"

"It's the color of your eyes..."

Hakkai could only smile at the boy's response, he looked around and noticed another drawing that was probably by Goku. It was of the sunset, and he could only guess who that was supposed to represent, "Well, you're doing a great job, Goku."

Sanzo held onto Goku as they walked down the mountain, when he saw a jeep headed towards him. It must be Hakkai and Gojyo, so he walked faster, "Oi, bout time you found him." Gojyo said, as they pulled up.

"Shut up, you perverted kappa." Sanzo said, helping Goku get in, "Goku's blind, they cut out his eyes."

Hakkai looked at Goku with concern, "You sure we should bring him along then?"

"Of course! He still has a job to do, doesn't he?" Sanzo snapped, Hakkai backed off the subject. Goku didn't say anything, he just sat there, not knowing what to say next.

"Sanzo, do you think we should let Nataku and that one guy who took him, go so freely?" Gojyo asked, as he climbed into the backseat with Goku .

"No, we'll be sure to pay him back with interest." Sanzo said, getting in the front, "You can count on that."

Hakkai smiled, "Of course. Now, shall we be off?"

"Yeah.." Sanzo muttered, "I'm going to sleep, any of you morons wake me up, I won't hesitate to shoot your sorry asses." Hakkai, Gojyo, and even Goku, laughed at that as the monk fell asleep.

"I think I'll go to sleep too,..." Goku said, in a quiet tone, "Though, it's gonna be weird cause it feels like I'm asleep all the time."

Hakkai turned to Goku, "I'll see what I can do to heal your eyes, once we get into town, Goku."

"Arigatou, Hakkai-san." Goku said, as he too, drifted off to sleep. Gojyo and Hakkai looked at eachother, and sighed, this was going to be a long trip. A very long trip indeed.

"Kouryu..." Sanzo looked around, he was in some kind of meadow..he heard his old name called again, "Kouryu..."

"Master..." He looked around, as if to see him...then he saw his figure, Koumyou Sanzo was standing by the river, where he found Kouryu laying in the river as an infant, "Master!" Sanzo looked down, to see that he was once again a child. This was some kind of nightmare, some kind of dream. His master was dead, killed by youkai. And he wasn't a kid anymore, he was 23!

"Kouryu..." his master turned to him, but as he turned around, he wasn't smiling as he usually was. He was crying.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"You didn't listen to the voice...Kouryu.." His master frowned at him, Sanzo backed off, and closed his eyes. 'It's just a dream, just a dream. None of this is real.' When he opened his eyes, he saw he wasn't in the meadow anymore, but on a mountain. 'Wait...I know this place...' He turned, 'This is the same road I took when I found the monkey...' He ran up ahead, it was snowing. Snowing hard. 'Goku...' Sure enough, the prison was there. And there he saw Goku laying on the ground, shivering.

"Goku..."

Goku didn't turn to him, but just layed there shivering, "GOKU!" This time, the boy turned to him, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"I can't see you..."

"What?"

"I can't see you..." Goku cried, "I can't see you! SANZO!"

Sanzo started to sweat, "SANZO!" Goku kept on screaming his name, screaming at him, "PLEASE! HELP ME! I CAN'T SEE!" he didn't know what he could do, he didn't know if he could..."SANZO!"

Sanzo's eyes shot open to see Hakkai looking down at him, "Sanzo, are you ok? You were crying in your sleep..." The mans' voice was full of concern, Sanzo quickly wiped his face.

"Yeah...I'm fine..." he said, sitting up in the jeep, "How's Goku?"

"He's asleep, he's fine...I'm going to see if I can do anything about his vision tomarrow."

"Tch...fine.." Sanzo said, "I couldn't help him..."

Hakkai looked at him with confusion, "What do you mean by that, Sanzo?"

Sanzo just stared down at his hands, his eyes fixed on them, "I couldn't help Goku, Hakkai...I was too late, and now it's my fault that he lost his goddamn vision.." Hakkai grabbed him by his shoulders before he could finish.

"No, Sanzo, it's not your fault. If it is, then it might as well be mine, and Gojyo's...it's more Nataku's fault than the rest of us."

Sanzo sighed, "I guess you're right."

Hakkai smiled, "Yes...so...what is this plan of yours?"

The monk merely stared at the demon slayer, "What?"

"What do you plan on doing to Goku's kidnapper?"

Sanzo thought for a moment..."Well, it goes like this..."

THAT'S IT FOR CHAPPIE THREE! MUA HA HA HA Sanzo seems OOC, but ah well...
