Down the cliff side part 3

By SW

Gold eyes fluttered open, rolling his head to the side he discovered he was still curled up against Sanzo. NANI?! Doing a double take he realized the monks arms were wrapped around him. Eh did Sanzo know this? His attempt to get up was abruptly stopped. "Go back to sleep. It's to early to walk." Mumbled the violet-eyed man. "Sanzo! It's gotta be almost noon! We need to find Hakkai and Gojyo!" Stubbornly refusing to let go, he leaned his head a top of the demons. "Who cares? I don't feel like moving." Growling in frustration, the boy finally pulled free. " Baka! I care! Now get up! This is no time to sleep." Sanzo frowned, getting to his feet. "Fine, lets go." Leaning on Goku once more they continued down the path.

* Man maybe he hit his head harder then I thought! He's being so so un-sanzoish! Last time I checked he didn't want me near him! * Goku glanced back at the monk whom he was supporting. Trying to ignore his tired body he kept moving. Tripping over an unnoticed rock Sanzo's arm hit Goku's back, hissing the boy jerked upright. Squeezing his eyes shut as agonizing pain raced through him. "Goku?" He gave the demon a confused look. "You ok?" "Hai, just a little winded." The boy some how managed to pull off the lie, convincing the monk to keep moving.

Many rocks later--

"DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The enraged blonde continued to curse as he stumbled. "Are you sure you don't want me to look at your ankle?" He must have asked Sanzo that a 100 times already, but had yet to succeed. *Well at least he stopped hitting me. * "Lets break for a little while." "Hn" With a groan they sat down. The sun burned brightly above, making the almost shade less path unbearably hot. Goku remained in a slumped position, unable to rest his shredded back against the rock. The irate monk was checking the condition of his leg, but still managed to refuse any help. The demon shook his head, staring back at all the ground they had covered. Praying that his missing friends weren't dead. "You think we'll find any water up here?" He asked licking dry lips. "Doubt it." The boy moved over to the edge peering down at the woods below. He couldn't see any signs of them. The chances of finding them were pretty slim, but then again so were either group's chances of surviving. So that had to even out the two right?

"Hakkai! My feet are killing me!" Came the plaintive cry from behind him. The smiling man just turned around and gave a supportive smile. "We'll rest in a bit! But we have to cover as much of the area as possible." Gojyo snorted, dragging his feet. "Did it ever accrue to you that they might be dead? And we're doing all this damn searching for nothing?" Stopping the brunette turned around and shot his companion an angry look. "Don't say that! You could at least act like you care! THEY are fine!" The half-breed blinked in response, he could never remember the pretty boy getting mad at him before. Falling silent he followed obediently, hoping to get back into Hakkai's good grace.
