** SHUDUP AND READ!**

The goddess nodded a few more times as she talked to the funny looking man, he couldn't really make out what they were talking about. Goku waited for the goddess to finish, she waved to him as she walked by. "Goku come!" He glared at her getting to his feet. "I'm not your pet yah know!" She didn't bother to turn around, speaking in a superior voice. "Yes, you are." All he could do was continue to growl and shoot nasty looks in her direction. "Now because of this little….Unexpected …turn of events. I had to pull some strings but I managed to cut a deal. You're going back." She kept walking, Goku bouncing along behind her. "HONTOU?!" The monkey wailed happily, she just nodded. "Yes, now I have final preparations to make. I just hope your friends can keep Konz-er-Sanzo from dieing." The boy blinked a few times, before running after her waving his arms frantically. "NANI?! Whadda mean dieing?!" She waved her hand dismissively. "Nothing! Don't worry your little head."

Bosatsu circled the table, Goku gave her a puzzled look. Stopping she started concentrating, after a moment a body appeared on the table. The boy jumped in surprise, looking at the lifeless form with wide eyes. "I-Is that me?" The goddess nodded, circling the body with a thoughtful look. Finally she stopped and held her palms over the still figure, any sign of injury faded away. Dusting off her hands she stood up right. "There we go! Now…Goku go hold your hand." The boy blinked. "Nani?" Bosatsu sighed, motioning to the table. "Hold the hand!!!" "Erm ok…." Shuffling to the side of the dead boy, Goku blinked as he began to fade. "Wha-" "Your reentering your real body." Was her answer as he disappeared completely? The boy's form was still for a long moment, with a sudden jerk Goku's chest moved. Sucking in air and refilling formerly motionless lungs. He doubled over coughing and gasping, blinking repeatedly. "I'm alive?!" He managed out, the goddess sighed. "Well sort of…See I couldn't give you life permanently." The boy gave her a blank stare. "Look you can only live long enough to finish stopping the empress…Then after that, its back to being dead." He mused over this for a moment. "NANI??!?! NANDE?!!!?" She frowned.
" Because I can only give you life temporally. Other wise I would be breaking a taboo." Gold eyes stared at her in distress. "T-temporary?" "Hai. But who knows how long that will be! And maybe I can swing something later." He sighed slumping down. "Come on I need to return you to your friends." The Buddha grabbed his arm, and they teleported away.

Sanzo jumped at the sudden crash that came from behind him. Whirling around, violet eyes became impossibly wide. A boy was laying face down in the bed, looking up he glared angrily at the goddess who stood beside the wooden frame. "Did you have to drop me like that?!" He sputtered, looking very pissed off. "What ever." Was the disinterested answer. "G-G-Goku????" Sanzo looked very shocked, the boy eeped looking slightly panicked. "Uh …konnichi wa Sanzo!" Bosatsu pointed at the sweat-dropping boy. "I brought him back. Have fun kiddies! Ja ne!" With that said she disappeared.

Goku glared at the spot were she had been standing. "Yeah leave me here to get yelled at!" He muttered, turning back to the slack jawed priest. "Um…….Gomen?" He smiled sheepishly, Sanzo opened and closed his mouth. "I'm dreaming aren't I…" Goku blinked in confusion. "No, I don't think so!" Sanzo moved closer to the bed. "I thought you said you wouldn't leave my side? You broke your promise…" The boy's head fell and he stared at the covers. "I didn't mean to…" Gold eyes flickered uncertainly, tears whelming. What was said next was almost to quiet for him to hear. "I…Missed you…" His head snapped up, looking rather owlish. "Nani?" The priest continued in an unsteady voice. "I want you to stay with me….Son Goku…..A-Ai shiteru….." Stumbling to get out the last part, a light blush coloring his cheeks. Goku stared in shock, trying to comprehend the sad excuse for a confession. He couldn't remember Sanzo EVER saying anything nice to him. Much less confessing that he loved him. Quickly deciding he should act now before the priest withdrew the former statement. He reached up and grabbed the back of Sanzo's head dragging him down. So their faces were only a few centimeters away. " I had to die to hear you say that?" The blonds blush deepened, it seemed too surreal. Any second we was going to wake up. "Are you sure your real?" Sanzo asked leaning his forehead against the boys. Goku chuckled, smiling warmly. "Hai I'm sure." Sanzo's eyes closed for a moment. "You promise to never leave again?" Gold eyes darkened for a moment, should I tell him the truth. No I can't, just enjoy the time we have left. "Goku?" "Hai I promise!" The boy brightened once more. Sanzo smirked, violet eyes narrowing slightly. "Good! Now onto other matters…When I'm through with you heaven is going to look like hell." Promptly pinning Goku beneath him. "Oh is that promise?" The only answer Goku received was a breath-stealing kiss.

The next morning~

Hakkai unlocked the door, pushing it open. His jaw fell….there were clothes scattered about the floor, and two familiar figures laying under the covers, sleeping contently. "WHAT THE HELL?!"
