Kenko: Even though I've been a Saiyuki fan for 3 years, this is my first Saiyuki fanfic. I finally got inspiration! (I think it was Saiyuki Reload 4 w/ Haagen-Dazs w/ System of a Down in the background) I hope you like it!

Declaimer: If I owned Saiyuki, the Saiyuki would be put in the yaoi category.

Warning: There will be Yaoi couples. SanzoxGoku and HakkaixGojyo.

Sitting, Waitiing On You

Prologue: The Bliss of Innocence

Once again the Sanzo-tachi was encircled by a band of youkai that boasted that they were going to blow their heads off and bring their bodies to Kougaji-sama as a gift. The only way out for them was to fight or jump off the cliff behind them. This scene was nothing usual for the Sanzo-tachi. It was expected that they get attacked everyday. For them, a day just doesn't feel complete without someone attacking them.

Hakkai was blowing the youkai into tiny bits. Sanzo was firing away with his gun. Gojyo is slicing them left and right and Goku is pounding their opponents to the ground. They are gaining the upper hand and the battalion of youkai is easily getting destroyed. The general of the youkai looked helplessly as the Sanzo-tachi wiped the floor with his soldiers.

The General was going to called the survivors to retreat when Dr. Nii showed up. Dr. Nii told the general that he had something up his sleeve and told him let his people fight a little longer. The general kept his people in the fight while Dr. Nii started to figit with this gaget that he had.

The next thing the Sanzo-tachi knew, there was a loud explosion and the floor underneath them started to give way. Gojyo fought off the last of his attacker and jumped to safety as did Hakkai and Sanzo. Goku was not so lucky and he fell down as the cliff broke away under his feet.

Goku was not aware that he was falling until he felt the wind whooshing in his ears. His world became upsidedown as he did a verticle dive down. He heard the faint screaming of his name in the background of the wind screaming in his ears as he fell. He saw that he was approaching the ground and yet, he did not feel particular fear.

When people have a life or death situation, they often say that they see their life flashing before their eyes. For Goku, however, there seems to be a great void. Instead of seeing flashes of memories, Goku only saw blackness, like he was falling through a dark tunnel.

When Goku was still imprision on the mountain, Goku have thought that it would be better if he died. After all, the person he was waiting for never came for him, even though he has been sitting, waiting on him. No matter how much he waited, he never came. No matter how much he wanted to remember, he could never remember who he was waiting for. No matter how much cried, no one ever heard his anguished cries.

Except Sanzo.

Sanzo came and got him out of that horrible cave. Sanzo gave him a room and food. Sanzo took him in even though he was a pain in the ass. Goku's memories with Sanzo started pouring in like a flash flood. Once again, he was reminded why wanted to live.

With that a pair of soft, white hands reached out to Goku and caught him.
