Fourth Chapter, yays
Numb
Hakkai listened to Sanzo tell his plan, whilst smiling, he could tell the monk knew what he was doing. Looking back at the two in the back seat, he found that Goku was leaning against the kappa, Gojyo. He smiled, and nudged Sanzo to look back as well. He saw the monk's lips curl up into a small smile, but that was soon replaced by a frown, "Damn idiots."
"Aww, come on Sanzo, don't you think that's cute?" Hakkai said with a laugh, the monk merely glared at him.
"Those idiots aren't children you know..." Sanzo said, then thought of Goku, "Nevermind, forget I said anything..." Hakkai frowned as well, and turned away from the sleeping youkai.
"Don't worry, Sanzo...I'm sure I'll be able to fix Goku's eyesight."
Sanzo grunted, "No point in telling me something that might not be true. His eyes got cut out, Hakkai, how do you expect to fix that? You can't even fix your right eye." Hakkai frowned again.
"Well, I guess we'll have to hope things work out...with us and your plan."
"Yeah...
When Goku woke up the next day, the only thing he saw was darkness. He could feel that they were moving already, he must've slept in. 'Oh well' He thought, 'I don't think there's a point in doing anything anymore...'
"Is Goku awake?" He heard Gojyo say.
Hakkai sighed, "No, I don't think he is...it's hard to tell, he has that bandage I replaced on him last nigh, he should be asleep.." He didn't hear Sanzo say anything, but instead, Hakkai kept on talking, "Just leave him alone for now, Gojyo."
"I wasn't planning on doing anything anyways." Gojyo said, he heard him give out a sigh as well, "I just wish I watched Nataku more closely, you know?"
"Shut up, kappa, there's nothing you can do now." Sanzo's voice rang in, he heard the kappa snort in response, but didn't hear anything else out of him, "We have to see if he's awake sometime you know, Hakkai. If you want to fix his damn eyes."
"Geez, Sanzo, you go from caring about Goku to insulting him." Gojyo said, glaring.
"I wasn't insulting Goku, baka. I didn't say he was a freakin stupid monkey, now did I?"
Hakkai sighed, "Now now, please, don't fight now." Goku decided it was best if he said something now before the fight got any uglier than it sounded. The two were probably already at eachother's throats.
"I'm...hungry." He said, then mentally slapped himself, of the first things he could say all day to them, it had to be, 'I'm hungry!' He felt Gojyo's arm sling around his shoulder.
"Well, then let's see if we can get the monkey some food."
"Well, alright, but I still need to tend to his eyes." Hakkai said, "Goku, how are you doing, by the way?" Goku didn't respond real quick, as he was trying to find Gojyo's arm and get it off of his shoulder.
"I'm doing fine...nnn, Gojyo, can you get your arm off my shoulder? It hurts."
Gojyo did as he was told, "Sorry..."
"It's fine..."
He couldn't see Gojyo frown, but he knew he had struck a cord, for some reason, he didn't care. Sanzo sat quietly in the front seat, not knowing what to say in the fragile situation. He knows that he had to be careful of his plans, but at what costs would it take to actually make it work? Hakkai had stopped the jeep, motioning the others to get out. Gojyo helped Goku out, while Sanzo just walked to a log and sat down. Hakkai strode over to Goku, and knelt beside him, "Ok, Goku. Take off your bandages..."
They hadn't seen what Goku looked like since they had gotten him back, well, since the time Hakkai had replaced his bandages. When he did replace them, Goku had his eyelids closed. What they saw wasn't pretty, the scar was across his eyes, and his eyes looked almost transparant. As if he had been stripped of his cheerfulness, and any other emotion. "Ok, let's see if I can do anything..." He gathered his chi, and placed it over Goku's eyes, who shifted a bit, but then soothed a bit as Hakkai was being as gentle as he could, "Ok, Goku...see if you can see anything..."
Goku blinked, but all he saw was bluriness, but it was a start. He blinked some more, and eventually, he could make out everyone's faces. They were all staring at him, waiting for an answer, "I...I can see again..."
Gojyo smiled, as did Hakkai, and Goku could've sworn he saw a smile curve on Sanzo's lips, and if he did, it didn't last long. Goku knew what he was thinking, and was grateful that he actually did care, even though he didn't show it as often. "We have to get them back, you know. We can't let them get away." Gojyo said, "So, what's your plan?"
Sanzo sighed, "I'll tell you later. Come on, we're wasted enough time in this dump." The others nodded, though a bit disappointed not to know the whole plan, but followed the priest nonetheless. Goku was just happy to have his eyesight back, to be able to see his sun again. He was happy, that for now, life was normal for him again...
A man stood above the horizon, glaring down at the moving vehicle, he winced. His raven black hair covered his right eye, but his visible eye was silver, placing a hand on his dragon's back, he whispered, "So...it has began, now has it, Ryoujin?"
Ryoujin looked at him with Amytheist eyes, and puffed smoke, the man spoke again, "Believe me, I will get Son Goku...I, Izumi, will make sure that nothing bad happens to him. That is my destiny..."
Ok, Izumi is my character, and I know this chapter is confusing a bit, but I will explain it later on. Sorry it's so short, but I got writer's block and wrote as much as I could think of. Sanzo's plan will also be revealed later on in the story. XD And you will find out what Izumi has to do with Goku! XD Izumi is based off of the drummer from Kagrra, who I must say is extremely hot! XD Hope you enjoyed this short, and weird chapter.
