Sanzo turned around as he heard a loud thud. 'What is that baka saru doing on the ground'. He glanced around to see that Hakkai and Gojyo were discussing the quickest route to town, that left him to check on that baka's nonsense. 'Ch .. if he's going to play that trick again and get up as soon as someone promises him food I'm going to kill him. Always saying "harahette". so anno-. wait a minute, he's not moving, and he hasn't said "harahette" all day! Something's wrong!'

Sanzo rushed to Goku's side, he bent over him and nudged him with his toe. " Oi! Get up before I kill you! I want to sleep in a bed tonight." Sanzo waited awhile longer, seeing no response he nudged again, "Goku..?" This time he got worried, he bent down and turned Goku around to face him. There was no response still, he listened at the unnatural breathing, it was as if Goku was struggling to get air into his lungs. Sanzo gingerly placed his hand on Goku's forehead and after a moment of lingering, he snapped it back. Goku was burning up! He was having a fever!

'HAKKAI!' Sanzo yelled out.

Hakkai glanced around to see Sanzo kneeling beside an unconscious Goku. "Hai!. What happened to him?" Hakkai asked as he rushed to Sanzo's side along with Gojyo.

"I don't know, but he's burning up" Sanzo tried to recall if Goku had ever been sick before, he couldn't, well there was a first for everything, and this Sanzo decided, wasn't a good one. Hakkai felt for Goku's pulse.

"We have to get him to a doctor! I don't see any external wounds and he doesn't seem bruised, I can't heal him. This is not my specialty any more!"

Sanzo gently gathered Goku in his arms, much to the shock of Gojyo and Hakkai, and made his way to the car. He settled himself and Goku in the back seat, which left an unspoken command for Gojyo to occupy the front ones. Sanzo propped Goku across him, letting Goku stretch out and use his lap as a pillow. Gojyo and Hakkai exchanged looks and quickly rushed to the car before Sanzo starts to tell them off.

Sanzo is a bit slow, I know, ahhA. oh well I update fast ne?
