Four Outlooks on a Rainy Night By Chou

Chapter 3 - Goku

I'm hungry.

That's nothing new, I'm pretty much always hungry. I don't know why I'm always so hungry. I tried asking Hakkai once, since Hakkai knows just about everything. He said it's probably cause I didn't eat for 500 years. I guess that makes sense. I don't really remember being hungry. Then again, I don't really want to remember anything about that cave. You know the scariest thing about that cave? If it weren't for Sanzo, I might still be up there, forever and ever and ever. That would really suck.

Wow.it's raining really hard out there. Sanzo and Hakkai looks pretty upset. I wonder why they hate the rain? I wish they'd tell me, since I really hate secrets. Maybe if they're feeling better tomorrow (as better as Sanzo gets anyway), I'll bug them to tell me.

Bored, bored, bored, bored.I'm so bored. I wish Hakkai would smile like he usually does. I'd even settle for Sanzo being a grouch. The way it's all quiet and sad in here.reminds me of that cave. I never, ever, ever want to feel that way again. Never, ever in a million years.

I wish I could remember why I was put in that cave in the first place. I must've done something really, really bad. Sometimes, I have these dreams where there's these guys that look like Sanzo, Hakkai, and Goyjo, but not. Like the Sanzo looking guy, he's got long hair that looks like the sun and wears white. The Hakkai looking guy also has long hair, but he's also got glasses and wears a lab coat, and doesn't have the same sad look in his eyes like Hakkai does if you look carefully. And the Goyjo guy's got short hair and wears some sort of leather uniform. It's really weird. And also, there's this other kid, about my age. He's got dark hair and he wears these weird robes. He kinda feels.like an old friend. They all do, kinda. It's really weird. I'd tell Sanzo or Hakkai about them, but Sanzo'd look at me funny, and Hakkai would worry. Nah, it's not worth them getting upset just to tell them about my really weird dreams.

You know, Sanzo acts all mean, and like he doesn't care about any of us, but I think he's not convincing of it sometimes. Like, if he really was annoyed that I called him, which I didn't, he would've hit me with that fan like he usually does. He didn't have to save me. I wasn't begging or anything. But he did. And then when that crazy monk tired to kill us, and was gonna kill me, Sanzo pushed me out of the way.and got stabbed really bad. I don't remember too much of what happened after that, but anyway, if he really didn't care about me, he wouldn't have done that, right? So, even though Sanzo acts all closed up, he's got a heart. Somewhere. I think.

I hate not having my memories. It's really, really frustrating. Like those weird dream guys I was talking about. Who are they, and why are they in my head, and why do they look like Sanzo and the others, and what's with that kid, why can't I remember, why was I in that cave, and, and.I dunno, just why? It's really unfair.

Man, all this thinking is making me hungrier.maybe I can grab some food without Sanzo noticing.

Though I wish he would notice for some reason. At least he'd be responding to something.

This rain's depressing, like the sky's crying or something. I wish it would cheer up, cause then Sanzo and Hakkai and even Gojyo would too.

I'm hungry.

I'm lonely.

This really sucks.
