I'm thinking this'll be the last chapter...
But you never know.
===============================================================
"MERCIFUL GODDESS! How COULD you restore those memories to those people!!!!!" Jiroushin yelled.
"Calm down Jiroushin...it's all part of the plan..."
"If Homura uses that heretic to get his powers back...Heaven is in big trouble...AND SO ARE YOU!!"
"Homura wasn't supposed to know of his god self...seems as though I forgot to remove that memory..." She laughed.
"How can you laugh at a time like this?! The jade emperor is not too pleased with this at all!"
The Goddess rolled her eyes. "Party pooper."
She sighed as Jiroushin left and stared into the water.
"Let's just see how you deal with this one Sanzo..."
===============================================================
Since he had time, Sanzo was cleaning out the little room with all the boxes in it. He went through a box that held old toys and comic books. Sanzo pulled a few of the books out and read parts of them.
"Having fun?" said a voice.
Sanzo turned and saw Gojyo and Hakkai standing in the door way.
"The door was un-locked so..." Gojyo hesitated.
"It's ok..." Sanzo sighed.
Without another word, Hakkai and Gojyo began to help Sanzo sort through the room. Moving boxes, un-packing a few things and such.
"What're you doing anyway?" Gojyo asked.
"Clearing this space." Sanzo answered as he pulled a bed frame from the closet.
Both Hakkai and Gojyo decided not to ask any more questions.
"There's something I need you two to help me with." Sanzo said.
"What is it Sanzo?" Hakkai asked.
"I...made a mistake...and I'm not sure how to make it up to someone. Can you help me apologize to him?"
Hakkai and Gojyo smiled.
===============================================================
That night,
Homura stood outside the church. He knew the other three would be there.
Suddenly, he heard a very familiar screech coming from above. When he looked up, he saw a girl wearing a navy blue school uniform standing on the steeple.
"You've GOT to be joking." Homura said in surprise.
"You better give back Goku-sai!" Lirin yelled. She pointed at Homura. (Note- to all readers who didn't read 'Kawari' Lirin refers to Goku as Goku-sai. Sai, meaning, companion.)
"Listen...little girl. I'm kinda busy. Why don't you go play somewhere else?"
Lirin smirked. "I thought you might say something like that." She jumped off the steeple and landed next to Homura and proceeded to punch and kick at him.
Homura blocked them, but was having a bit of trouble due to the wounds Goku had given him.
Kougaiji, Yaone and Jien stepped out from the darkness. "Lirin, that's enough..."
Lirin hopped over to her big brother.
Kougaiji eyed Homura. "So...this is where you're holding Goku captive?"
Homura looked at the church. "It's not much...but it's home." He joked.
Jien and Kougaiji charged at Homura. Both of them missed.
"He's fast for a wounded guy..." said Jien.
"Get out of the way!" Yaone screamed as she threw a home made medicine bomb at Homura.
It hit.
Homura held his breath as the purple smoke surrounded him. He quickly burst out of the smoke and charged Yaone.
"Yaone-chan! Look out!" Lirin yelled.
Homura knocked Yaone to the ground. The purple haired woman fell.
"YAONE!" Kougaiji hollered and tried to get to her, but he was knocked down by Homura.
A shot rang out.
Lirin, Jien, Kougaiji and Yaone turned and saw three men walking towards the battle.
"About time." Kougaiji snapped.
"Droopy eyes! We thought you'd never come to save Goku-sai!" Lirin chirped.
"Droopy eyes? Goku-sai?" Gojyo laughed, but immediately stopped when Sanzo pointed the gun at his head.
"So...you DID show up...Im impressed Sanzo. But...I'm afraid...time is not on your side." Homura smirked.
"What are you blabbing about?" Gojyo snapped.
Hakkai helped Yaone to her feet. "What have you done to Goku!?" Hakkai yelled.
"Nothing..."
Sanzo pointed the gun at Homura.
Homura laughed.
"I wouldn't get so cocky if I were you..." Sanzo growled.
"What are you going to do with that? You know as well as I do that the banishing gun only kill's demons."
"Are you sure this is the banishing gun?" Gojyo laughed.
Homura's eyes widened.
"There's just...no way..."
Sanzo smirked. "Now...you'll tell me where Goku is...right?"
"Why do you want him back? You abandoned him...so I did the world a favor and picked up another man's trash."
"You'll regret saying that Homura..." Hakkai glared.
"Will I?" Homura said.
He snapped his fingers and behind him came 7 demons.
===============================================================
(Song- 'Alone'- piano version)
Goku held the gun close to him as he lay curled up on the floor of the cage.
The sun was just about to rise and Goku preferred not to look at what he most desired.
The cool metal resting in his grasp gave him comfort and made him feel like he still had control over something...
How his life ended was all up to him.
To stay in this world meant having to endure the pain and bare its weight forever. But the banishing gun was his way out.
No more pain.
No more loneliness.
No more sorrow.
He tensed up as he thought about ending it all. Was it really...
That easy?
===============================================================
Kougaiji immediately killed the demon he was fighting. He helped the others out.
One by one the demons fell.
Homura stood grasping his shoulder.
"What's the matter Homura? Got scratched up?" Gojyo mocked.
"That animal shot me."
Gojyo couldn't help but laugh.
Hakkai, who had put the ear cuffs on, began firing chi beams at demons. Sanzo used the gun, but it was less affective than the banisher.
Gojyo was having way too much fun waving the Jakujou around on the chain. It decapitated at least 4 demons.
The last demon stood in the middle of the 'battle field'.
Hakkai approached it and summoned up a chi beam. "This is for Kanan..." he whispered, and he shot the chi beam at the demon.
It burst into dust.
"Don't you know...you were all demons in the past." Homura points to everyone except Sanzo. "And YOU were a monk." Homura laughed. "A not to holy one I might add."
"That doesn't matter!" Hakkai yelled and fired a chi beam. It missed Homura.
Homura stood alone of the church stoop. If he could stall them long enough, Goku would do exactly what Homura had put the gun there for. After the boy killed himself out of loneliness and grief, his power would go to Homura. Making him a god again.
"You'll never make it...he's going to do exactly what I planned." Homura laughed.
A gun shot was heard.
At first, Homura's face lit up "All according to plan..." he smiled, but then he looked down at his chest and saw a bullet hole spilling blood.
"Well, isn't that a...bitch..." Homura said as he fell to the ground on his knees.
Sanzo lowered the gun and walked over to Homura. "It's over Homura...now tell me where he is..."
Homura fought to keep his eyes open. "He's...in the...alter. But...you don't...have much time." And he died.
The sun was rising and the voices in Sanzo's head were becoming louder.
'I want...the sun.'
The sun.
That was it.
That was what Goku never finished. He wanted the sun.
"Go find him droopy eyes!" Lirin yelled.
"Will you still be the sun for Goku?" the Goddesses voice echoed.
Sanzo opened the doors of the church and ran down the hallway. He had never been in this church and it made it difficult to navigate.
He had to hurry...
===============================================================
(Song- 'For real'- piano version)
'If this place...had been deep with in the earth...'
Goku stared at the gun in his shaking hands.
'I wouldn't have had to know freedom...'
He held it to his chest as tears began to escape his eyes.
'Or loneliness.'
He aimed the gun to his temple and looked up into the stain glass windows as the sun rose.
'But then a shining light stood outside the prison bars...'
A blonde mad burst into the cathedral.
'His hair shone like the golden sun I so longed to see outside this place...'
Sanzo ran to the alter as Goku dropped the gun to his side.
'He was here to save me...'
Sanzo opened the cage door and walked in. He knelt down in front of Goku.
'He reached out his hands...'
Sanzo reached his hands out for Goku to grab them.
'And lead me out of the darkness...'
Goku took his hands as the chains disintegrated.
'To show me a world...'
Tears streamed down the boys face. Sanzo wiped a few of them away and hugged the boy.
'Much, much brighter...'
Goku sobbed in relief that Sanzo was here. He rescued him...just like before.
'Than the sun.'
"I'm sorry Goku..." Sanzo said.
"I forgive you." The boy smiled.
"Let's go home now. There's a surprise for you there."
"Really!? What is it!?"
"Your own room."
Goku hugged Sanzo. He patted Goku on the head. "Let's go now."
Goku nodded.
Hakkai and Gojyo, followed by Kougaiji and his crew stood in the door way.
All were smiling.
Kougaiji and the others said their good byes and Goku even got a hug from Lirin.
"Bye, bye Goku-sai!" she smiled and went after her brother and the others.
Goku looked at his friends and smiled. Hakaryu mewed in happiness.
These men were all he had in the world. But they were all he needed.
Gojyo patted Goku on the head. Hakkai hugged him and Sanzo took him by the hand to where Hakaryu transformed into the jeep.
They all loaded into the jeep and Hakkai started it up. No one said a word. But there was really no need for them at this point.
Goku knew in his heart...
He was home.
===============================================================
"It really did have a happy ending huh?" the Goddess smirked.
"Well Goku...I told you I wouldn't let anything bad happen to them, so nothing will and you can be a happy family again. I've pulled some strings..." she laughed aloud "Ok...not strings...ropes. And I've got a deal with the other God's that you can be with them forever. Each time they die, they will be re-incarnated with all their memories. So you'll never have to be alone until the end of time. You are free Son Goku. To live as you please. Live it well."
She stared into the water as the jeep took off into the sun rise.
"You will always have the comfort of knowing...
The sun will rise again."
===============================================================
DONE!
YEAH BABY!!!!!
Ok, sorry to everyone...
I couldn't fit Zenon and Shien in. (Next time...maybe)
If there is a sequel (If I can think of one) I'll try to clear a few things up...if there IS anything that needs clearing up.
I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed. YOU ALL ROCK AND DESERVE A COOKIE!!!! ::throw's out a bunch of cookies.....................then eats the rest::
So, Does Lirin get anything for a story-well-done? Like...any delicious baked goods you donate will go directly to the 'food for Lirin' fund!
