Be For Him All That I Couldn't Be
Goku
I could feel their presence as we drove through the woods. They were all around us…youkai. I looked at Gojyo, he had understood; Hakkai had sensed them too…and Sanzo, I knew his fingers where ready to pull the trigger anytime now…
Suddenly they pounced on us; there must have been about 20 of them blood thirsty demons. We fought them of as usual; numerical superiority was not a problem, by now all of this had become a routine…
The sound of the last shot from the shoureiju still hung in the air when it happened. One of the youkai was still alive and with blood pouring out from a wound in his shoulder, he made a dash towards Sanzo, taking him by surprise. I acted on impulse…it was a stupid thing to do, I know…but I jumped between Sanzo and the youkai hoping to protect the former from the attack. I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth, preparing myself to feel the demon's talons tear away at my flesh but instead…I only hear a small cry and the soft thud of a body falling to the ground. I opened my eyes to see the demon's face contort in an expression of pain and agony before disintegrating and then…I saw him.
He lay there, blood oozing out of the wound at his side…a wound that was destined for me…
"Hyo!" I knelt besides him. Tears filled my eyes but I didn't bother to hold them back this time; I just let them flow.
"Goku…" He looked at me and smiled "I guess it's…goodbye" he coughed…blood!!!
"No! Hyo, you must rest! You'll lose more blood if you keep talking…"
"It's useless now…too late…"
"Don't say that…You'll make it…Hakkai..." I looked over at Hakkai but he just lowered his eyes and looked away.
"I'm sorry to be of such trouble" he stretched out a blood stained hand and placed on my head. I broke out in sobs…I knew there was no hope.
"He looked up towards Sanzo and uttered his last words to him: "Please… be for him…all that I couldn't be…" He smiled and cast his eyes towards a tree and muttered something-a name and he was gone.
~~~~~~
That night I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about Hyo. Why did he die to save me? What could have led him to do such a thing for a perfect stranger? Did he just act on impulse? But then why did he choose to intervene only then?
I turned around but his deep marine eyes kept coming back in front of mine. His last words still echoed in my mind….
What could he have meant?
What should he have been to me?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~THE END~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kenren: Yep guys…I've just killed Goku's father…Couldn't bear to tear him away from Sanzo…after all I know he does care about him…
Sanzo: *blushes* Not true!!!
Kenren: Really?! If so why are you blushing like crazy oh-so-cold Sanzo-sama?
Goku: You mean Sanzo does care about me?
Kenren: Of course he does, Goku!! Sanzo cares about you very very much!!!
Goku: *hugs Sanzo affectionately with tears in his eyes* Oh Sanzo! I care about you too!!!
Sanzo: Yuk!!! Stop it you baka!!!
Kenren: Yeah…people will start thinking you two don't have quite the correct orientation…
Goku: Don't be jealous Kenii-chan! I like you too!!! *hugs Kenren*
Kenren: Oh! And I think you're simply adorable!!! Who's up for some chocolate?
Sanzo-ikkou: MEEEEEE!!!!!!
