Hey thanks for the reviews guys!
I appreciate it very much! ===============================================================
Sanzo paced back and forth waiting for Hakkai to arrive.
He began to think back on the conversation. ===============================================================
"Hakkai...please...hurry over."
"Sanzo...what's gotten into you? You sound shaken up."
"I was driving home...and a kid walked into the street and...I....hit him...I don't know what to do."
Hakkai was silent on the other end.
"Hakkai?"
"I'll be right over." ===============================================================
Sanzo heard someone coming up the creaky staircase and knock on the door.
He let Hakkai in. Hakkai walked over to the couch and pulled a chair up to examine the injured boy.
"That's weird..." Hakkai said.
"What?"
Hakkai looked back at Sanzo. "There're slash marks all over his chest and eyes...he must've been attacked before he wondered out into the street."
"Will he be ok?...I mean...I don't want the cops on my back about this."
Hakkai made a reassuring laugh. "He'll be fine. I think he was just a little shaken up from the attack...I don't believe you hit him hard enough to cause any real damage."
Sanzo huffed and went into the kitchen. Suddenly, they heard the doorbell ring.
Hakkai opened the door and there stood Gojyo holding a pizza. "I've gotta pizza here for a Mr. Genjyo 'asshole' Sanzo? And...what the—"Gojyo was cut off by the sight of a kid lying on the couch covered in blood.
"Did I miss something weird?" Gojyo asked.
Sanzo dragged Gojyo in by his shirt "Stop blabbing and get in here before someone hears you!"
Gojyo put the pizza on the coffee table and looked at Sanzo. "So...what happened?" he said.
"I hit him with my car."
"Jeeze...don't go all emotional over it." Gojyo said sarcastically.
Hakkai carefully wrapped the boy's wounds while humming.
"Any idea who he is?" Gojyo asked.
"None in the least...he didn't have any I.D on him." Sanzo huffed.
Hakkai finished tending to the boys wounds and wrapped a blanket around him. "He should be okay in the morning."
"Good...cause he's going right back where he came from." Sanzo snapped.
"Hey...didn't Otome say a kid was staying at the Inn?" Gojyo said.
"I'll call Otome and see if we can't get some sort of description." Hakkai dialed Otome's number on the phone.
Sanzo looked at the boy. For some reason. He felt he knew him.
"Otome say's he had brown hair, a gold head band and oddly colored eyes. His names Goku."
Sanzo studied him.
"Goku." ===============================================================
"Sanzo? Are you there? Can you hear me!?" Goku called.
The monk stood before him surrounded by light, while Goku sat lost in darkness.
The heretic reached for Sanzo and the priest held out his hand.
He couldn't reach.
"You'll have to try harder...if you want to reach us..."
"SANZO NO!" Goku screamed, but the priest disappeared. ===============================================================
Goku awoke in a strange room. Wrapped in a blanket, Goku found that he had been sleeping on a couch in someone's living room.
His wounds were dressed and he had a bandage going across his eye which made it very difficult to see.
"So...you're up?" said a familiar voice.
Goku turned to see who it was...and his jaw almost hit the floor.
There, standing in front of him, was Sanzo. Bathed in the light coming from the window behind him. Like his dream.
Goku was speechless.
"You must be Goku."
Goku nodded. Sanzo became a little uneasy by the way Goku was staring at him.
"You feel ok?" he asked.
Goku nodded again.
They heard someone walk in.
"He's awake?" asked Hakkai.
"Yeah...doesn't say much though." Sanzo huffed.
"Well if I woke up in a room with 3 strange men I don't think I'd be talking either." Hakkai laughed.
"What happened?" Goku finally murmured.
"You were attacked last night and wandered into the road...Sanzo hit you with his car." Hakkai smirked at Sanzo.
Goku looked down and stared at his hands.
No blood.
"Your hands...were covered in blood that wasn't your own. Mind telling us what happened?"
"...I don't remember." Goku lied.
Sanzo thought he recognized the boy. "Have we met?" he asked.
"I don't know...maybe."
"Quite screwing around...I can't quite tell where....but I know you from somewhere."
Goku only stared.
"Jeeze...lash out at the kid why don't you." Gojyo but in.
Gojyo sat down on the couch next to Goku. "My name's Gojyo, that's Hakkai and that's Sanzo. Sanzo's not really into making new friends."
Goku laughed. 'Yep...that's Sanzo alright.' He though.
"You look hungry. Why don't we get something to eat?" Hakkai suggested.
"Okay!!!" Goku chirped and hopped off the couch.
"But first...you need a new pair of clothes." Hakkai pulled a set of clothing out of a shopping bag. "I picked these up while you were still sleeping. I hope you like them."
Goku graciously took the clothing and went into the bathroom to change.
Sanzo stared out the window.
"What made you think you knew him?" Hakkai asked.
Sanzo still stared. "His voice was familiar." ===============================================================
Sorry this chappie was so short. But that made a nice ending to it didn't it?
Well, gotta go eat something!
Until next chappie!
Toodles!
