Well here's part 4 (aka here's where things get REALLY strange) ^_^

~*~*~*~

Sanzo the homicidal maniac…

…and the reset button…

~*~*~*~

Goku sat there, tears running down his face. He was alone in the room, except for Sanzo; he was tied to the bed and muttering non-sense while being unconscious at the same time. Goku didn't know why this was all happening, or how to stop it, he felt so helpless. And somehow, he felt that things were just, wrong. That the events that were taking place right now should never have happened in the first place, when things started to go wrong…who knows how far back things started messing up. He felt so alone in his suffering, but little did he know that he wasn't alone.

Hakkai sighed as his shaking hand brought a teacup to his lips. He took a brief sib before placing it back down as gently as his hands would allow. He looked over to Gojyo who was also in the room, smoking yet again. Hakkai coughed a little, the cigarette smoke always got to him, he just never complained about it. Gojyo looked at him. "Yo, you ok?" Gojyo asked, a hint of concern in his voice. Hakkai sneered inwardly. "Was he ok? Of course I am!" he thought bitterly " I'm just in love with a pervert who doesn't even know I'm alive…"

Gojyo put his cigarette out and walked over to Hakkai, who was to busy thinking to notice, until Gojyo's face was inches away from his. "What? What is it Gojyo?" Hakkai asked, a slight blush crossed his face. Gojyo gave him a sly grin. "Now come on, I know you're upset at me, why?" he purred nuzzling Hakkai's neck very lightly. Hakkai backed away. Gojyo was really confused and a little annoyed at this. Hakkai shot him a venomous look. " There's no women to sleep with around here, so you fall back on me eh?" his words shot through Gojyo like needles. Gojyo was slick, so his air stayed calm and cocky. "Oh is that what this is about? C'mon, you know I'm just out to have a little fun with those girls, the don't mean a damn thing to me…now c'mon…" he purred making new advances on Hakkai. Only this time Hakkai didn't back away…he truly loved Gojyo, or was it just the abuse he loved more? It didn't matter, weather he wanted to or not, he was Gojyo's for the taking.

Goku tried to stay awake, but he couldn't any longer, he succumbed to the darkness that was now his dreams. He was there in that dark place in his mind again; the voices were there too. Goku rose up from the sitting position he was in and shouted at them. " Why are you doing this to Sanzo? Stop it now!" he demanded, but it fell upon deaf ears. "We have got him! We have finally done it!" they wailed. "But we heed more to finish him, need more blood…" they hissed. Goku was now angry beyond the limits of fury. "Why? Why must you kill innocent youkai like that??" he demanded answers, and the one he would get would not be to his liking…

"More power! More blood this body and soul collects, the greater in number we become, more power to crush the priest-murderer!!" they cried out, the whooped and hollered, Goku couldn't stand it any longer "GO AWAY!!!!" He screamed over in his head, until a brilliant light sparked. The voices were screaming and lost they're sound in Goku's mind. The light shrunk into a tiny ball and hovered in front of the boy. It was growing weak, Goku could sense it somehow, it was warm, and it floated so close, he was able to cradle it in his arms. Suddenly, it spoke weakly…in Sanzo's voice. It was too low for us to hear, but Goku knew…it was saying good-bye. As it slowly faded away, a tear forced it's way down Goku's cheek. "It wasn't supposed to happen this way, something is wrong. IT WASN"T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN LIKE THIS!!!"

He woke…no violently like the last time…he just opened his eyes. It was so easy to do that, or was it. Something was wrong with he world, he knew it ever since he was born, something was just not right. And now the ultimate wrong has been committed. He was gone, though his body still functioned it was only a shell now. He got up and went over to Sanzo's body. It seemed to be like normal…but it's eyes, were now like two coals. The demons were there now, not Sanzo. "It's all like a big game Sanzo" he sniffled, "and we just lost, you and me…I wish there was, like a reset button or…or." then it hit him, the mysteries of his existence. It all made sense to him now he knew his purpose. He just needed some rest and some time to prepare…
