Until the End of Time
Chapter 11
"You would totally not believe it."
"What?"
"Kinoto told me that her man had a meeting with Akari. He said that Akari's pressen for a war between him and Gojyo."
"You serious?"
"Totally serious."
"It'd be a damn world war!"
"Shh. Shut up, do you want the whold fucking world to know?"
"Akari'd get his ass kicked. Don't he know better? They both got almost the same amount of followers, but Akari's gang ain't exactly known for their loyalty."
"Maybe not, but he's the one with the weapons. You know as much as I do about it. Gojyo won't let his people carry any heat."
"He used to. When Masato was part a that, Gojyo'd let 'em."
"Don't matter. The point is, this whole area'll be dangerous. You gotta pick a side, or you'll get caught in the crossfire."
"I ain't getting caught in no gang war. You'd be best not to too. You get involved with either group, and your chances of getting killed will increase tenfold."
The bell rang and the conversation ended, the two girls getting to their feet as they pulled their books together before leaving the classroom.
Sanzo frowned, not looking up from the papers he was marking. The last half of the final class he'd decided to make a study time. Of course, it always ended up being a chance for the students to talk. The two girls had been across from Sanzo's desk and, although they'd probably thought they were being quiet enough, Sanzo had heard every word. Along with several other students, who had listened with a startling intensity. Obviously, this was something to keep his ears opened about. For so many students to be concerned about it, it had to be something big.
Glancing up at a certain someone's empty desk, Sanzo frowned. He recalled his conversation with Goku, the first one they'd had beyond the introduction of their first meeting. Goku had meantioned that he was part of Gojyo's group. Then he must know about the upcoming war.
Whether it was hearsay or not at the moment, Sanzo knew it would come to be. If everyone was talking about it, even those not involved, then it would happen. The friction between the two groups was too much for their fight to end without coming to fists.
Would Goku be involved? He looked like he could handle himself, but Sanzo couldn't deny the worry that tugged at him. If Goku were to fight, he could be injured. No matter how good of a fighter someone is, they could never be more powerful than a single, well aimed bullet.
For a horrifying moment, visions of the other being wounded danced in front of his eyes. A group against a group and Goku caught in the moment fighting well but then there's a gun and suddenly nothing is sacred and nothing is safe and the brunette would be taken away.
The pencil in Sanzo's hand suddenly snapped, and he jerked out of the strange trance his mind had been caught in. He hadn't even realized he'd been holding onto his pencil still, much less clenching it so tightly. Staring at the broken wood, the blond forced himself to take a deep breath.
'Think about the tests in front of you,' he told himself. 'Think about what you're going to have for supper, how you're going to get out of chaperoning the dance coming up in a few weeks. Think about the new book you're reading, about that CD you bought a few days ago. Think about anything but him!'
But it was impossible, and it always would be.
Sanzo groaned and put a hand to his face. All of the mystery, beauty, danger, kindness and anger, it didn't matter. Dreams didn't matter. Not in Goku and not in himself. It couldn't be denied that he'd found something. Something special and precious, and he didn't want to lose it. All that he'd built during his life had come crashing down within only a few weeks. The being that had haunted his nights was no longer unknown. It was Goku's face and Goku's body, always there, always warm, always loving.
Was that what was being offered to him? Could he really have something like that? His defences tried to deny it, attempted to set things back the way they always had been, but he couldn't allow it to happen. Even if he wanted to, it was too late. He had been pulled into Goku's life force by something he didn't understand, and he needed to be near, needed to see those eyes and smell that scent and... maybe, someday, taste the lips that teased him without trying.
He had to know, had to place all the pieces together. He felt as though his entire self being had been stripped away, leaving him vulnerable and shaken. There was so many things unanswered, so many feelings he didn't know and thoughts that he didn't understand.
Except for one. There was no way in hell he was just going to sit here when there was a chance that some stupid gang war could take Goku away from him perminantely.
Leaving the tests and lesson plans behind along with his insecurity and fear, Sanzo was out of the school within only a few moments and on his way to Worksmith.
