~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter two ~ Missing



It has been almost three long hours, since Gojyo and Hakkai began their search for their youngest companion. Sanzo was left at the inn, alone in the room they shared, cursing angrily about killing Goku. Apparently, he was really pissed off for Goku would actually run away like that.



Hakkai and Gojyo return back to the inn from an unsuccessful search. Hakkai took a seat in his bed, and Gojyo stood by the window, smoking away.



"We've look around the town, and ask some of the townspeople. But no one seems to have seen him." reported Hakkai to Sanzo, who was smoking away by the door.



"It seems to me that he was no where in the town, I mean, maybe he left the town or something." said Gojyo. "I shouldn't be angry with him, or he wouldn't have run away."



"Ch. Let's go, It's useless for us to be waiting here for nothing, I doubted he will come back. And I'm sure he do not wish to miss his dinner since he have already miss his breakfast and lunch." suggested Sanzo who finally admitted his defeat.



Both Hakkai and Gojyo look up at Sanzo in shock; they can't believe what Sanzo had said. But after a while, they return their composure and agreed with Sanzo's suggestion.



They packed up their stuffs and check out the inn, Hakuryu transform into jeep and they hoped in. They've decided to search for Goku outside town since they can't find him in town.



'Bakasaru, I'll be sure to kill you if I found you.' thought Sanzo. Actually, he was worried about Goku as he saw how sad the monkey was in the morning at breakfast. He was guilty about it as it all started by him.



Gojyo, on the other hand, was not only guilty about yelling at Goku but he was also bored and restless. After noticing Goku's disappearance was a great problem to him, he promised himself one important thing 'apologized to Goku, once we found him.'



Hakkai, who was driving, was getting worrier and worrier of his missing companion and his two quiet companions who looks really restless. 'Sanzo must be wanting to hit someone with his paper fan so badly, and Gojyo must be bored for his bickering partner is missing. Goku, if you're here, I bet they will not be like this.' signed Hakkai deeply.



It was total silence along the way, no paper fan, no cursing, no swearing, no usual arguments and most of all, no whining about food. The sun has set, skies were turning dark and yet, they have found Goku.



They decided to camp out for the night, and continued their search for Goku tomorrow. Hakkai was preparing dinner, and Gojyo went looking for water. Sanzo was getting more and more restless every minute, he was trying to figure out how Goku, in such short time can disappear without a trace.



After dinner, they set around the campfire and started discussing about Goku's disappearance.



"We've been looking for a whole afternoon, and we haven't found a single trace of the Goku. It's impossible that he have gotten so far, don't you think so?" started Hakkai.



"Yeah, I do. But, where could he have gone?" asked Gojyo confusedly.



"I agree with Hakkai, but where the hell could he have gone?" asked Sanzo calmly. "He can't fly, and I don't think he can run so fast cause he's on an empty stomach."



"Maybe Sanzo is right, but I still can't figure out where he could've gone." agreed Hakkai. " Let's get some sleep and start searching tomorrow. We can think of a way to find Goku tomorrow."



Sanzo and Gojyo nodded in agreement, and after they have found themselves in a comfortable position, they fall into a deep slumber.



Back to the town where the Sanzo-Ikkou once stayed in, Goku was wondering around the streets, sad and lonely. 'Maybe I should go back, they must be worried about me.' thought Goku hesitantly.



When he went back to the inn, the innkeeper came and told him that the others have checked out in the afternoon, and told him that they can't find him around in the town and went looking for him outside town. Apparently, the innkeeper overheard the others conversation.



Goku was shock, he can't believe they have left him alone in the town 'It's all my fault, if I hadn't run away' thought Goku bitterly. 'I guess I would go in search of them, they must be worried sick about me'
