A/N: So finally I've written the final chapter. Yes I know it's short, but after much thought and feedback from you guys, I've decided to write a sequel instead of continuing this story. So I'm not done yet. I'll make up for the short chapter I promise. That said, your feedback will really help shape how the sequel goes. As also, enjoy and R&R if you please! Thanks for sticking with me guys!
The sun hung low in the sky, shooting out its last rays to color the sky a dazzling shade of pink. Goku sat on the stairs, enjoying the cool breeze dusk brought with it. He turned his head upwards as he heard someone approaching.
"Here" Sanzo held out a small cup of tea, joining Goku on the stairs.
"Thank you." Goku brought the chalice to his lips, carefully sipping the still steaming brew. "You know," he began, leaning his head on the priest's shoulder. "It feels like ages since I've been able to enjoy the sunset like this."
"Like what?" An arm snaked around Goku's waist.
"Like it doesn't feel like an endin'. It feels more like reassurance that there's a tomorrow. The sun is slipping away, not to leave us, but just to rest so it can rise again."
"What about when it rains?"
"Maybe it just had a bad day. We all have bad days." Goku heard Sanzo smirk. He was about to launch into a further explanation but was abruptly stopped by a pair of lips pressing against his own.
"Ever the optimist, aren't you?"
"Is that a bad thing?"
"No. I like the idea."
"Me too. It means we get another day together."
"Yes. It does."
