Shining Oblivion

With one bored sigh, I pushed my staff right through the stomach of the demon behind me, without even having to turn around. I slump my shoulders as I walked towards the rest of the group. I'm bored. I'm very bored. As in, I'm so-bored-that-I-could-just-drop-dead-and-die bored.

We've just set up camp here - somewhere in a forest - and demons already started attacking us. Nevertheless, it didn't really solve my problem of boredom. Usually I'd complain about being hungry and keep on annoying the hell outta Gojyo, but we just ate and Gojyo is looking very pissed so I'll keep my words to myself for now.

Night was here already, and Sanzo was sitting by the fire with the same bored face he wears everyday (if only I don't have a child's face, I'd be looking much like him right now.), with a cigarette in his lips. And let me tell you, I wish I could be that cigarette. Sigh...

Hakkai was fixing our futons on the ground (It's gonna be hard sleeping tonight, considering the stones in this place.) and Gojyo's somewhere getting water. And me? I'm lying on my back staring at the sky, my staff beside me with a leaf on my nose that just fell down off a tree because of who-knows-why. I'm not even gonna bother to take it away.

"Goku?"

Too tired to even turn my head, I just used me eyes. "Eh? Nanda, Hakkai?"

"If you're sleepy, your bed's all ready." Hakkai smiled at me, then walked away, disappearing beneath a couple of trees and vines. Probably off to find Gojyo. If only I know they were gay, I'd probably assume that those two are going out.

Sighing tiredly, I stood up and dragged myself to the futon. I'm not even gonna tell you on what I feel about being alone with Sanzo. I plopped down on it and was about to fall asleep, when it hit me. It hit me hard. Since Hakkai and Gojyo aren't around, they'd probably won't notice if I just escape to do a... just a few more cuts. Hey, I never said that I'd really stop. I just said that I'll try. And since I can't take it anymore... Let's just hope that those two would make out first before going back here. Hehe...

"Ne, Sanzo?"

"Hn."

"Would you mind if I do some exploring for a while?"

"Do what you want." Oh, thank you that he doesn't know my secret!

"Sank yuu, Sanzo!" I placed my hand on the blade that rested on my pocket. I'd be too obvious if I put it on my belt. Grinning, I scurried off.

Finally I can get my sanity back!

Sanzo took another cigarette from his pack, lit it and blew a smoke. He was getting restless with every minute that passed by. He knew what Gojyo and Hakkai were doing - probably somewhere making out - so it doesn't bother him that they were taking so long but what irked him was that the saru was still gone as well.

One, two, three.

Damn that saru. He stood up from the log he was sitting on, poured the water inside his canteen on the fire, waiting the sizzle to cease, before starting his search for the one that captured his heart. [1]

He walked slowly, thinking of reasons to tell if Goku asked him why he was looking for him. His feet brushed against the soil of the floor of the forest gently, blowing a puff of smoke slowly.

He brushed away a couple of vines that stood in his way and scoffed. He continued walking, until another curtain of vines covered his view. "Che'." He reached out one hand to brush it away, then froze his action once he took a good look at the scene beneath the green plants.

Goku sitting. Tears. Blade. Blood.

"Goku?!"

[1] Yes, corny, I know.

Author's Notes: Yes, yes, I know. . Another short chapter. But I can't help it, since this story might end in just one or two chapters more. Gotta keep the suspense, yah know? ^^;; And the exams are already over, though I haven't had my scores yet. o.O
