Chapter 2
The Healing

It was about 10:00am when Hakkai and Gojyo left, and Sanzo was left at the clinic, looking after Goku. Meanwhile, on the way to the forest, Gojyo remembers once again his past because of the red flower…
"Gojyo? Daijobu desuka?" Hakkai interrupted his thoughts. "We should hurry to save Goku, ne?"
"Aa…" Gojyo answered, and the thoughts vanished.
A few minutes later, upon entering the forest, the 2 were blocked by a group of youkai.
"The welcoming committee, huh?" Gojyo smirked as he brought out his weapon.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" a youkai said.
"It's none of your business…" Gojyo replied.
"Sumimasen, but we're in a hurry." Hakkai then made a ki-ball.
The fight took place and it ended in a short while, and Hakkai and Gojyo won, unharmed. Gojyo was yawning, and Hakkai had a sweatdrop, sighing.
"Yare yare desune…"
"Let's go!" Gojyo started to walk.
"Hai." Hakkai followed, smiling.
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
Now we take a look at the other half of the Sanzo-ikkou – in the clinic……
"Itaiiiii…!!!" Goku was screaming in pain, in his sleep…
"Oi saru! Hold on!" Sanzo held Goku's almost cold and trembling hand with worry. For Sanzo, he has never been worried like this before. Goku is sleeping peacefully once again, but still with poison in his body. Sometimes it seems that Goku's sleep becomes peaceful when Sanzo holds his hand. "I know Goku is not weak, I know he can hold this…" Sanzo thought. "I hope the two would be back soon…" Sanzo leaned on his chair and fell asleep.
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
Back in the forest, Hakkai and Gojyo arrived at the cave with ease. And now they are fighting a youkai, the youkai who is guarding the cave. They wondered why are the flowers in the cave so precious that it made them guard it, or is the cave just a mere 'headquarters' for the youkais? The thought disappeared in their mind because they are dodging the attacks of the youkai, who is quite powerful.
Hakkai thought of a plan, though a bit hard, maybe, but it's a perfect chance to defeat the enemy.
"Gojyo, hit him after I……" Hakkai's sentence was cut off when the youkai attacked him, but luckily he evaded the attack.
"After what?!" Gojyo was using his Crescent Moon (the chain-blade weapon…) to prevent himself from being slashed by the youkai. The youkai is fast, indeed, for he attacked Hakkai and immediately attacked Gojyo in a flash.
While the youkai was attacking Gojyo, Hakkai put a lot of energy and made a large ki-ball.
"Gojyo! Get off him! I will now………" Hakkai shouted.
Gojyo understood even before Hakkai finished his sentence, and he got off the youkai. Immediately Hakkai fired the ki-ball, and it hit the youkai. A bright light flashed, and it faded, and the youkai is defeated, now grains of sand vanishing into the wind. Hakkai sighed and knelt known for a while to rest, since he used so much energy.
"Oi Hakkai, daijobu ka?" Gojyo put a hand on Hakkai's shoulder.
"Hai." Hakkai smiled.
Suddenly, the whole cave lighted up. Hakkai and Gojyo covered their eyes because of the bright light. A few seconds later, the light faded. They uncovered their eyes and saw a garden of red flowers; and they noticed that the cave vanished. At the sight of the red flowers, Gojyo remembered again his past.
"Gojyo?" Hakkai interrupted his thoughts again. But it's ok.
"Nanda?" Gojyo said, without taking his eyes off the flowers.
"Let's get some flowers now and hurry back. Sanzo and Goku are waiting for us." Hakkai smiled as he picked up some red flowers.
The 2 got enough flowers for Goku's cure. Then, Hakuryuu flew out of nowhere from above the trees, safe and sound. Hakkai smiled and patted Hakuryuu as soon as it landed on his shoulder.
"Soreja, Hakuryuu, shall we go?"
"Kyu~!" The dragon then turned to the jeep.
Hakkai and Gojyo hopped into the jeep. Hakkai drove while Gojyo held all the flowers. During the ride, Gojyo thought about the flowers that gave him more pain before, and now these flowers will bring him joy – by saving his friend.
They arrived at the town safely, and then they rushed to the clinic. Sanzo is now awake, reading newspapers, and is still sitting beside Goku.
"Osoi dayo (You're late)." Sanzo said flatly.
"What the–" Gojyo's eyes widened, then he stared at Sanzo. "Is Goku…"
Sanzo's eye twitched. "Just hurry up already! Goku's still alive, ok?!"
"Okay okay!" Gojyo sweatdropped.
A head peeked out of a room in the clinic. "Oh, welcome back. Do you have the flowers?" Reia said. Hakkai nodded.
"Great! I have prepared the materials, all I need are the flowers."
Gojyo handed the flowers over to Reia.
Then they waited, as Reia prepared the cure. While the cure was prepared, Goku was beginning to perspire and breathe fast, and Goku screamed in pain again. Sanzo, who was still at Goku's side, held his hand tight. "There is little time left… the poison is taking its toll. We need to hurry up. Or Goku will be……" Sanzo shouted in his mind.
Reia hurried up with the cure, but she made it correctly. When she finished, she immediately let Goku drink the cure. The 3 bishonen and the girl doctor stared at Goku and waited for him to calm down.
Now, Goku was sleeping peacefully, and everyone gave a sigh of relief. Sanzo resumed to reading his papers and Hakkai and Gojyo played a game of poker. Reia prepared some tea and served it to the 3 bishonen.
"Arigatou for your help, Reia-san." Hakkai sipped some tea.
"You're welcome."
"Sumimasen Gojyo, full house." Hakkai showed Gojyo his cards.
"Argh~ Oi bouzu, I think we should go to an inn." Gojyo put down his cards and sighed for he lost to Hakkai in the game.
*click*
"What did you say?!" Sanzo said with a big vein on his head.
Gojyo sweatdropped and raised his hands in surrender. Hakkai laughed.
"I think Gojyo's right. We need to make space for more patients, just in case. Gojyo will just carry Goku to the inn." Hakkai suggested.
Sanzo turned to Reia. "How much do we need to pay?"
"Oh, no, you don't need to. It's ok. I'm happy to see your friend is ok now. After all, you're the one who got the medicine." Reia smiled.
"Eh? Are you sure?" Gojyo looked at the doctor.
"Hai."
"Arigatou gozaimasu." Hakkai politely said as he packed some things on their bag. "It's getting dark… looks like we have to go."
"Any more reminders, Reia?" Gojyo said, who is ready to carry the sleeping saru.
"H-hai. Your friend will be better in a few days. He will just need some rest. By the way, the inn is just nearby. It's just a walking distance. You'll have no problem carrying your friend from here." Reia bowed her head slightly. "I'm sorry if I can't accompany you to the inn… I have to look after the clinic just in case there will be patients…"
"Yeah, we understand. Jaa, thanks again." Sanzo slightly smiled, but the other two didn't notice.
"Take care minna-san! Bye!" Reia waved goodbye to the bishonen who are now walking to the nearby inn.
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
The Sanzo-ikkou arrived at the inn in a short while. The inn was full except for one room; they had no choice so they took it.
The room only had one bed, and they didn't hesitate to let Goku sleep on the bed. The other 3 just slept on the floor… (something like that, I mean a bed on the floor……)
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
Morning came… Sanzo woke up first, then Hakkai. Gojyo followed a bit later, and now they're just waiting for Goku. Goku didn't wake up yet, so they ate breakfast ahead.
Goku woke up maybe about lunchtime. It's quite surprising, since he seems to be well just after one night…
"Harahetta!" Goku whined in a genki mood.
The 3 bishonen looked at Goku
"SANZO!!! HARAHETTA!!!"
*BAM* The usual hitting from Sanzo…… "Nah, its ok. The saru is well anyway." Sanzo thought, and smiled [mentally].
"Itai!! Sanzo!!" Goku held his head.
"Kono bakasaru!" Sanzo shouted. But deeeep inside, he was enjoying the saru's genkiness that makes everyone happy.
"Baka…" Gojyo put his arm around Goku's shoulder. "Don't make us worry like that… you know… yesterday……"
Goku smiled. "Aa. Arigato yo, Sanzo, Hakkai, Gojyo."
"Ch'…" Sanzo sighed and read his newspapers.
"Time to eat, Goku." Hakkai smiled.
"WAIIIII!!!! Food!!" Goku jumped around the room.
Yup, Goku was back to normal. When he ate, he ate lots of food enough for breakfast and lunch.
"Goku seems to be ok now." Hakkai remarked, looking at Goku who is now eating a handful of pork buns.
"Yeah, the brain-stomach monkey is fine." Gojyo smirked, enjoying the sight of Goku who is now as genki as can be. "Wanna fight, saru? Its been a while… since you were 'out' yesterday…"
"Later, kappa!" Goku replied as he stuffed the pork buns to his mouth.
Goku finished eating a while later, and the Sanzo-ikkou is ready to go……
"Let's go." Sanzo flatly said.
"Hai." Hakkai replied as he started the engine.
The Sanzo-ikkou continued their Westward journey, looking for a new adventure as they set their eyes to the setting sun.
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
Later in the afternoon…
"Ah~ harahetta…" Goku whined.
"Uruse, saru…" Gojyo pushed Goku playfully, causing Goku to almost fall down from the jeep.
"Oi kappa! Abunai yo!!" Goku pulled Gojyo's cheeks.
"Yeah! This is the 'fight' I've been waiting for!" Gojyo smiled as he fought with the saru playfully.
While Gojyo and Goku are enjoying themselves, Sanzo was having numerous 'veins' on his head… Hakkai sweatdropped, fearing Sanzo's temper might explode at any time now. Hakkai sighed, and just readied himself for Sanzo might fire his gun. The two at the back are very noisy……
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* Sanzo shot several times, which silenced the saru and the kappa.
Hakkai just laughed uneasily. "Everyone's in high spirits now…ne?" he remarked.
"Ch'…"
Peacefulness and silence overcame the Sanzo-ikkou once again. As the sun sets, they focus on another adventure…… *flashback* "Go to the West!!!"
~Owari~
