Chapter 10

Can't Handle It

A/N: I redid chapter ten because i didn't like them. So if you're wondering why there are chapters missing, it's because they got deleted. So...i hope you like this! Enjoy! Sorry for the wait.


Three men in glittering white robes sat in a row behind a grand oak desk. The man on the far left stood, "Konzen Douji, Tenpou Gensui, and Kenren Taisho. You three will be sentenced to immediate reincarnation and damned lives."

"What is this? Am I dreaming?"

Another regal looking man stood and Chelsea realized that this wasn't just an ordinary dream.

"Son Goku, you will be sentenced to 500 years of imprisonment in the very rock you came from."

The woman felt tears prickle at her eyes and her heart ripped open as the last of the men stood and turned to her, "Nai Hagane, you have been sentenced to reincarnation at a later time. You will stay under heavenly arrest until we see fit to banish you."

"B-banish? Reincarnation?"

It hit her like a ton of bricks as the tears spilled from her eyes and the men turned to her. They looked so familiar. So much like the men she thought she knew so well.

Goku hugged around her waist and she hugged back, kissing his hair, "It'll be ok Goku." The woman wasn't sure why she said it, she knew she was lying.

Goku yelped as men grabbed him forcefully and the tears kept coming, "Stop! You're hurting him!"

"Nai, there's nothing we can do."

Chelsea found herself answering to the name, like it was hers. Arms encased her and blond hair blurred her vision. Strong hands soothingly rubbed her back.

It all ended too soon as the men too were ripped from her as well.

Then it started, the pain from past scars, demons, gunshots, screams, blood, fear, loneliness.

Chelsea sat upright in her bed, "Oh god."

She fell from the violet sheets and stumbled into the bathroom, falling into the walls on her way and hurling her stomach into the bowl.

Hakkai was he first up and in the bathroom, "Chelsea?!" He was immediately behind her, holding her hair and rubbing her back.

"What the hell happened Kai?"

"I'm not sure," Hakkai's voice was laced with fear and concern, "I heard a thump on my door and I came out and she was throwing up."

The woman wretched again and lent back from the toilet, resting on Hakkai's chest. The man finally noticed her body temp and the tears pouring from her eyes.

"Gojyo, wet that cloth for me."

Goku burst into the room, "W-what's going on? Is she okay!?"

Gojyo picked her up and moved to carry her to her room, "I'm not sure monkey."

"The fuck is goin on out here? Take your sorry assess back to bed!"

Sanzo scowled down at Goku as the boy clutched his pajama pants, "S-something's wrong with her!"

The blond only felt this panicked when he witnessed Goku's change for the first time. Right now his heart was racing so fast he truly believed it would burst from the strain.

The normally cold-hearted monk stumbled over his words before he glared at a scrambling Hakkai, "Hakkai do something!"

Hakkai gave the blond one of his own glares, forcing the man to back down, "I would if I knew what was happening."

"Well that's a shame. All of you were so in tune at one time."

Sanzo rounded on the black haired goddess, "You."

The air was unsteady as the goddess inspected the woman's home. Picking up pictures, touching things, petting Jazz.

Gojyo huffed, "Can you do anything?"

The woman looked up then waved her hand to brush it away, "Honey I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't. It's nothing life threatening." She chuckled sadistically, "That girl just can't handle the truth is all."

Hakkai fidgeted with his hands, "W-what do you mean?"

"I mean it will pass, she just has to accept it."

Sanzo stood and stalked to her. "Accept what you stupid hag? Stop being cryptic! What's wrong with her?!"

Konzeon smirked and sat on the couch, crossing her legs, "Just as protective as ever eh Konzen? …oh, I'm sorry, you're Sanzo now."

"Stop playing games!" the blond barked.

"Calm down. You men are so worrisome. She'll be fine."

Hakkai looked the woman in the eye, not an inkling of his smile visible, "You said she couldn't handle the truth. May I ask what truth?"

The woman smirked and shifted her position on the couch, "About the four of you."

"Stop fucking with us lady." Gojyo sneered at her.

"Well darling I'm serious. She's seen it all, all of your pasts, she's physically felt all of your pain, witnessed all of the happenings."

Goku hiccupped from his spot on the floor, "S-she felt that loneliness…that fear I felt…"

"Yes, she did."

Hakkai wrapped his arms around himself, remembering how he felt, "Oh dear."

Gojyo just flopped onto the couch and put his head in his hands, "I don't believe this."

Konzeon pat his back, "Believe it honey."

Sanzo threw her a disgusted look; "You knew it would put her through this! You did it on purpose! Fix her!"

It was the goddesses turn to be serious, "I would never put her through that kind of pain on purpose. I didn't think she would come out of it like this."

Hakkai looked up from the ground, "How long?"

"Two days at most."

"Sanzo."

The blond looked to the green-eyed healer, "Gojyo and I will watch over her while you go to work and Goku attends school."

Sanzo sighed, "Fine."

Goku jumped up, "But Sanzo! I can't leave her!"

"I don't care!" He calmed a bit at Goku's sad face, "Just…just go to bed monkey."

Konzeon sighed herself and stood up, "Well boys, good luck." And as she disappeared from them the woman smiled, "They didn't even ask to come home."

Gojyo woke up as he felt hands in his hair. He had fallen asleep at the side of Chelsea's bed, getting no sleep the night before and fearing for her safety.

He looked up at her and grinned, "Hey."

She sniffled and continued to run her hands through the red locks, "I don't see what she didn't like." Tears started to roll down her cheeks, "I think your hair is beautiful."

Gojyo rubbed his eyes to will away the tears, "Thanks Chels."

She ran her fingers over the scars on his cheek and chuckled weakly "And I thought my mom was bad.

"Anyone hungry? Gojyo…are you okay?"

"I'm fine man."

Hakkai looked at his friend warily, "Alright Gojyo."

The redhead excused himself and Hakkai sat on the bed with the woman's food. Chelsea scoffed and took the bowl of stew from him, "I can feed myself Hakkai. I'm not weak like her."

The man's green eyes widened behind his glasses, "Like whom?"

"You know. She wasn't worth your time Hakkai. She couldn't swallow it and move on with her life. She was weak and you can't keep dwelling on the pitiful thing she did to herself. You can't keep hurting yourself because she couldn't handle it…you need to move on Hakkai."

The man stood abruptly, "I see."

Chelsea watched as he left then turned to her food. She was only a bit surprised that she was able to say that to him.

Gojyo looked up from his cigarette as Hakkai stormed into the room, "Whoa! Kai you ok?"

"No! I am absolutely not okay! How dare she call Kanan weak! I couldn't believe my ears!"

Gojyo yawned, "You done?"

"Gojyo!"

"Kai I'm serious man. You're only upset because you know it's true, she wouldn't have said it if it wasn't true."

Hakkai sat on the couch and looked at his best friend, "I…I didn't want it to be true."

"I know buddy."

"Hey Sanzo…Sanzooo."

Sanzo glared at the dark haired woman as she sat on his desk, "What?"

"You've been staring at the phone for almost ten minutes. You okay?"

"Yeah."

Hunter rolled her eyes and hoped off the desk, "Look, if you're worried about Chelsea…"

"I'm not worried about her."

The woman put a hand on her hip, "Sure you're not."

Sanzo tuned her out from there. Everyone wasn't handling this well. Goku wasn't the least bit excited when they got to the school, and Hakkai didn't send him off with a smile when he dropped him off.

The blond ran a hand through his hair. It was okay to be worried about her right? He looked over at her desk. She got on his nerves and they constantly fought but…

"Insei, White! Get in here!"

The large man sighed as the blond male and dark haired woman walked into his office, "White, take Insei home. He's killing the mood."

Sanzo scoffed, "I don't need to go home. Besides the moods there won't be any better."

The man glared at Sanzo, "You are gonna take your scrawny ass home right now!"

Sanzo raised a brow then put his hand on the desk, "Oh yeah?"

The chief stood and loomed over Sanzo, "Look Blondie, the only reason I am keeping you here is because Commons believes that this is a good job for you. She is one of my best, and if I wasn't worried about losing her behind you, you'd be gone."

Sanzo slowly backed down, the glare still present on his face.

"White."

"Yes sir?"

"Take him home…now."
