A Mother's Last Gift
Messages are at times the most important
There it was laying inches away, he could almost taste it. He wanted to move, he needed to move but the dead weight on his chest denied him that pleasure. Deep violet eyes glared down at the tussled chocolate brown hair, before going back to the pack of cigarettes that laid innocently on the table. With a growl he accepted defeat, he wasn't going anywhere and if he was honest with himself he didn't want to. The body on top of him, wiggled slightly.
"Mama"
Sanzo raised a brow that was the second time he heard that name come from the smaller male. A whimper had him frowning; the body then shuddered, then jerked. Eyes fluttered open, dazed, unfocused and …troubled. Goku rubbed his eyes, as the exhaustion began to wear of the golden eyed child noticed that he was laying on a warm body; a familiar scent tickled his nose.
Sanzo
The smaller one looked up and met blank eyes; the two stared at each other, then without warning Goku found himself on the floor. Sanzo made his way over to the table that was in the middle of the room, he snatched up his pack and took one out. By the time he got it lit, he noticed the sudden change in atmosphere and silence, with a raised brow he looked back at Goku and froze.
Eyes were wet and red, tears were running down cheeks, he was crying. "What are you crying about Monkey?" tears just kept falling.
************
Earth gasp as she was thrown from her trance, blood traveled down her chin, Moon caught her as her body went to the ground
"Sister!"
"They came" the goddess said, Moon eyes narrowed, as he wiped away the blood.
"I almost had him, he was almost ready and then they came and attacked us. They-they did something to him, they did something to my baby"
"Sister, you need your rest"
"No I need to—"
"You can barely stand, please let me help you, tell me what to do and I'll do it"
Earth sighed, her brother was right.
"Alright, but we must hurry we haven't much time"
************
For the rest of the day Goku clung to his guardian, refusing to let go. No matter how many times Sanzo threaten him, holding on tighter when the blonde tried to push him away. His mouth remained shut when asked if something was wrong.
"Maybe he sick" Hakkai suggested later that night, Goku was asleep now, still in Sanzo's lap, arms still tight around him.
"I never knew Monkey's could get sick" Gojyo said from his spot at the table.
"They can't" Sanzo said, well grumbled. He wasn't too happy about having a lap full of monkey, but both demon knew that the blonde human wasn't going to push the youngest member away, and wisely didn't mention it.
Hakuryuu where he was preached on Hakkai's shoulder coo'd softly, he was worried, he hadn't heard the Call today, and it was getting close to dark. Nothing was going according to plan.
What was happening?
"Hakuryuu"
All eyes turned to the boy in Sanzo's lap, golden eyes were looking at the little dragon. Goku opened his mouth to speak, but then his eyes rolled back and his body went limp.
"Goku!"
******************
"Did you do it?"
"Yes, master"
"Good, everything going to plan."
"I still don't think this is wise"
"Why do you worry? Soon that monster will be long gone"
"Yes, but at what cost?"
"You worry to much, you'll see. Everything will turn out just as planned"
The fun that mirrored the god and his mate's face told doubt.
************
Goku became sick the next day, his breathing was labored, he had a high fever. His body was covered in sweat and he was constantly cold, it made Sanzo pissed. He was always a man of control and to have something that was not within his power, made him mad.
Goku whimpered when a cool hand placed itself on his cheek, his face scrunched up in a frown. Sanzo frowned at the alarming heat, before moving his hand to the tussled and slightly damped hair, there it stayed.
"How is he?"
The blonde looked up, he didn't even hear the other come in.
"Still sick, stupid monkey"
Hakkai smiled knowing the other didn't mean it.
"Where the Roach?"
"Getting more medicine and cigarettes" Hakkai soaked the cloth in the blow of water he brought and wiped away the sweat from his face and neck. About an hour later, Gojyo came back, a bag of medicine in hand. Hakkai was glad that the red-head had gotten liquid instead of pills it made giving it to the younger much easier. Once the medicine was given, they waited.
**********
Goku eyes opened, they half-opened, but they were opened, yet he didn't see them. Hakuryuu landed on the bed, next to the sick ones' head. He coo'd softly and nuzzled the little's cheek. Surprisingly to everyone one with two legs in the room, Goku responded, moving his head to look at the small dragon.
"H-H-Hakur-yruu" his voice was raspy, it hurt to talk.
"Goku?"
Goku didn't hear him
"F-F-F-Find"
"Goku no, you shouldn't talk"
Goku whined softly and tried to shy away from the hand the came towards him, he then focused his attention back to the little dragon.
"M-M-Mama"
There was the word again
"F-F-Fine M-Mama"
Golden eyes rolled back and body went limp. Silence fell as in surprise and shocked eyes stared at the unconscious youth. Then Hakuryuu bowed.
Here Chapter 3 sorry it took longer then expected. Tell what you think, I think the hardest person to write was Sanzo, the others for the most part are easy.
Reveiw Please!!
