This will be the last chapter. Thank you to all my reviewers for their constant support. I'm sorry this story dragged so long. I was just really busy and all. Hah. Anyway, enjoy.

"H-He's awake, Sanzo!" Hakkai shouted loudly.

The sky had cleared and it was now morning. Sanzo jerked awake from his deep slumber and rushed over to Goku's side. Everyone was waiting to see what had happened to Goku when he suddenly screamed out and lunged for breath. Goku was panting hard and gasping for air but no one knew what to do.

"Goku, Goku! Are you alright? What happened?" Gojyo asked anxiously.

"I-I'm fine,"

"What happened? Why did you suddenly faint?" Hakkai asked.

Goku didn't know what to say, his mind was a blank. Recognizing those familiar faces, he stared at Sanzo's the longest. Sanzo looked away obliviously and smoked a cigarette, pretending not to care. He barely spoke two words since Goku became weird and freaky.

"S-Sanzo," Goku murmured as he reached out his hand to grasp Sanzo's arm.

"Huh, what do you want? You're finally awake, fancy holding the rest of us back while you fainted." Sanzo said bluntly.

"Sanzo, it's me… I'm Goku!" Goku exclaimed loudly.

"I know who you are. Don't try to be a smarty-pants around me,"

"What I mean is… I remember… I remember everything!" Goku shouted excitedly as he jumped up from the ground with a smile.

Sanzo's faces together with the rest were all a blank. No one knew how to react to Goku's sudden change. Everything seemed like a dream and Goku even tried to pull Gojyo's hair to see if he would hit him back, but they just stared at him, like statues.

Soon, Kogaiji appeared with Lirin and was equally shocked to see Goku jumping around again. Everyone thought Goku would die after he was screaming so terribly the day before. Goku spotted Kogaiji and gasped. He remembered all the stupid things he said to him while he was still mentally unstable.

"K-Kogaiji," Goku muttered as Lirin shrieked and pointed at Goku and laughed.

Kogaiji looked over to Goku and gave a face of question. Goku's face showed blushes of embarrassment and he scampered over to a nearby bush and hid away from Kogaiji shyly, which was rather odd of him.

Kogaiji walked over calmly and saw Goku whacking himself on his head, calling himself stupid and squeezing his eyes shut.

"What the hell is wrong with you now?"

Goku looked over and gave a gasp and turned the other way quickly again, hugging his knees nervously.

"I-I can't believe I was so pathetic in front of you yesterday!" Goku exclaimed angrily with red blushes on his cheek.

Kogaiji laughed and suddenly, everyone laughed too. Even Sanzo let out a slight chuckle and immediately clamped his mouth tight again after he realized it as obvious. Goku became furious and began waving his arms in the air and shouting in protest.

"Glad to have you back, Goku." Gojyo and Hakkai commented with a smile and patted Goku's head.

Lirin shrieked excitedly while Kogaiji gave a smile of approval. It was rare to see an occasion like this. He decided that fighting could always take up some other time. Goku gave a huge grin and looked over to Sanzo. The rest went away to prepare food for lunch.

"S-Sanzo,"

Sanzo sat near a tree, smoking a cigarette as usual and looked away with certain coldness in his eyes. Was this all a joke? Goku becomes weird, and then suddenly he's okay again? Sanzo couldn't decipher what joke Kanzeon Botatsu was playing on him!

Sanzo growled angrily and threw the cigarette away. After a few seconds of pondering, he faced Goku. The same face that had stared at him for the past few months, the same face that had annoyed him endlessly during the journey and the same face that he cared so much for…

But how can two days of change alter so many emotions in him?

"Yeah," Sanzo replied flatly.

"Sanzo, I know you must be thinking I'm weird… I'm sorry, Sanzo, for always irritating you and making you angry. If you want, Sanzo, I'll keep away from you from now on. I won't bother you, as long as you're happy… I'll keep away, Sanzo… I will," Goku croaked out as his voiced broke in middle of his sentence. It was hard to say all these words out.

Sanzo contemplated over his words and looked up to the clear, blue sky. He gave a slight smile and shielded his face from the sun. All these while, he has taken Goku's caring for granted. Goku's death, revival, and personality change has definitely taught him a thing or two.

"Bakazaru, I never said that, did I?" Sanzo replied with a slight hint of happiness in his voice.

Goku looked up with hope in his eyes and gave a huge grin. Sanzo patted him on Goku's head and showed a sign of satisfaction. He was just glad that Goku was finally back.

"Let's go get some food, you must be hungry." Sanzo said with weird concern for Goku, he has never done this before.

Gou's eyes lit up as if the Gods have given him a diamond house with a flower garden and jumped up and down with extreme excitement. Putting his hand on Goku's shoulder, Sanzo walked on with Goku, reminding himself not to take Goku for granted anymore.

OWARI.

You guys must be sick of this story already! Haha, that's why I'm ending it. Anyway, THANK YOU to all of my reviewers, I love you all:
