I've been receiving e-mails suggesting who the surprise pairing should be...
I'm not all for them either.
My personal opinion is...I don't like yaoi pairings.
That just screws with my head.......its also the reason why I s-s-s-s-stutter now. I mean...I'm all for the "Goku is like a son/brother to....who ever" scenario.... But enough's enough.
So, suggestions.........I would really like to see something other than: Goku/Hakkai)(Sanzo)(Gojyo)(Homura)(Kougaiji....... It's starting to look like a love hexagon......And I'm losing sleep thinking about it.
....Now lets begin.
Goku tossed and turned on the floor cot the Inn keeper had brought up.
Cold sweat poured off him as he rolled onto his back. He looked up at Sanzo, who was still asleep, even with the commotion Goku's bed made when he moved.
He sat up a buried his face in his arms on the edge of Sanzo's bed. "I'm so sorry Sanzo."
Goku grabbed Sanzo's hand in his own.
"I don't know how to fix this. I feel so helpless." Goku whispered.
"You saved me Sanzo...Now it's my turn to save you. I made myself promise; to serve you....But I want you to be happy. So if me leaving will make you happy.........then I'll do it."
Goku tried his best to fight back tears.
"It was nice...to see the sun again." Goku wrapped both arms around the priest.
"Goodbye Sanzo." He quietly opened the door and left.
Kawaita kaze ga fuku.
Goku peered into Hakkai and Gojyo's room.
Machi wa kogoete-iru
Hakkai slept peacefully on the bed while Gojyo slept on a cot near the table. Probably so he could get a beer if he woke up.
Ikutsu no kisetsu ga sotto oto mo naku.
Goku quietly walked in.
Sugisatta no darou
He stood near Gojyo's bed, afraid that if he drew any closer, he would wake the kappa up.
Yukikau hito wa mina
"Thanks for being a friend Gojyo. I know we never really got along all that well...But I'm gonna miss fighting with you."
Omoi nimotsu seotte
He walked over to Hakkai's bed.
Tooku ni yureru kagerou no naka ni
"Hakkai.........Thank you so much for being a big brother for me."
Kono te wo koboreochiru
"I'm really gonna miss you guys."
Suna no you na kanjou
"I'm having a hard time saying goodbye..."
Ano toki mune ni sasatta
"But I know it's for the best."
Kotoba ga fui ni uzuku kedo
"If its one thing I've learned from you guys..."
Hatenai yoru wo kazoe nagara
"It's to protect the things you hold most dear to you."
Jibun no kakera sagashite-ita
"I'm going to protect you all..."
Ushinau hodo ni kono omoi ga
"By leaving."
Tashika ni natte'ku
"Please...don't forget me."
Ima nara kitto aruite yukeru doko made mo
"Because I'll never forget any of you."
Doushite kono sora wa
Goku turned around and opened the door to the hallway.
Konna ni hiroi no darou
He was about to go down the stairs when he saw Sanzo's door open a bit.
Sakende mite mo koe ni naranakute
He opened it more and stood in the doorway.
Namida ga afureta
"I'll miss you."
Jiyuu ni kaze kitte
He turned and headed down the stairs.
Tori-tachi wa doko e yuku no?
It was raining out.
Sugoshita jikan no you ni
Pouring, actually.
Onaji basho ni modorenai
It seemed the earth and Goku were crying together.
Kono mama yume wo akiramete mo
Goku stood there. Facing upwards into the wet, sobbing sky.
Takanaru kodou osae kirenai
His conscience told him to keep going...
Itsuka wa kitto chikadzukitai
But his heart told him to go back to his friends.
Ano kumo no takasa
His 'family'.
Mou ichido kokoro ni tsubasa hiroge tabidatou
Could he really just run off and leave them without knowing where he went?
Kanarazu tadoritsukeru hazu
No...
Hatenai yoru wo kazoe nagara
But he was going to anyway.
Jibun no kakera sagashite-ita
"I won't be the cause of their deaths"
Ushinau hodo ni kono omoi ga
"And by leaving..."
Tashika ni natte'ku
"Their safe."
Ima nara kitto aruite yukeru...
"I promise."
Doko made mo.
Hope you liked!
