AN—I apologize for not updating this story more often. My muse on this one kind of died and I'm up to my neck in finals, but I am still planning on writing a prequel to "To Where You Are." This is more of an action story and less romance than I'd planned. Sorry to anyone who's mad at me for my lack of updates.

Part 15: Come Undone

Hakkai

"Our." The word feels so strange that I have to say it again. I remember being us and I remember having ours. I remember "Sanzo."

I stare into those violet eyes and it all comes rushing back in one moment. Falling to my knees, my head becomes a storm of thoughts to complex to grasp. A hand steadies me. "Hakkai, you remember don't you?"

"Sanzo, I'm so sorry." I can't control the torrent of emotion sweeping through me as I remember all that I've done. I killed so many innocent people. Why? I don't even know why? Oh, God why couldn't I have stopped? Why didn't I stop?

"Hakkai, stay with me," he commands as he shakes my shoulders. "Look at me. Everything is going to be fine. We're together again."

No, this can't be it. There's more. I nervously stand and look around me. Houmei…no Mayu, but she's an adult. Goku has changed. And that isn't Gojyo standing there…his son maybe? But Sanzo hasn't changed at all. "How did this happen?"

"What is the last thing you remember?" Sanzo asks.

"I remember Gojyo coming to visit me and being taken by demons….then nothing. How is it that I can see again?" Panic runs through me.

"I don't know. Hakkai," his eyes are so dark and sad. "you died."

"How?"

"You saved me." Sanzo's voice is quiet and ashamed. "A year later, I was going to kill myself. I went to your grave and the Goddess brought me here. She knew that Nii would resurrect you. Hakkai, you are the only thing that matters to me."

"Sanzo.." I cover his mouth with mine and try to take away some of the pain that I have brought upon him. "I love you so much."

"UGH! Not something I want to see guys," the red head calls. "Now if you wouldn't mind kicking some demon ass with the rest of us!"

I hadn't even realized that they were still here. There aren't many left, but it looks like Kougaiji and Goku are exhausted. Charging forward, I leap to the sky and summon a ball of chi aiming it perfectly and landing as it hits. I am going to clean up my mess. I caused this and I will finish it. "You can fall back," I tell them simply.

"We're not leaving you on your own, Hakkai," Goku tells me. I can tell that he's hurting.

"No, this is my fight." He doesn't have time to respond as I am in the center of the brawl. I don't know what they did to me to make me this strong, but I hate it. Blood falls in pools as I tear them apart. I drop to my knees and pin the last one beneath me. "Where is Nii?"

"I don't know!" His eyes are large and fearful.

I knock him out and stand up looking at the men that have seen me fight. The young man laughs. "I take back every word I ever said about you being a pansy."

"Who are you?" I ask half knowing already.

"Jien." he says simply.

"He's the stupid kappa's kid," Goku adds with a laugh. "Let's get out of here."

I stare at Sanzo. There's an unreadable look in those violet eyes. We have changed. We blinked and our world came undone.
