Part 8: Truth be Told

Hakkai sat in a chair next to a bed that Sanzo was in. The monk was bandaged up from the attack of Goku. The green-eyed youkai looked concerned, he didn't understand why Sanzo would shoot Goku. And why Goku took off his limiter and attacked Sanzo. Was it revenge for the monk being so mean to him?

Gojyo was in the room next to where Sanzo and Hakkai were; he to was sitting by a bed. Goku laid in the bed; he had a new limiter on, and was bandaged up. He whimpered as he slept, it was probably from the bullet hole in his chest. Gojyo touched his neck; he felt the bandages on it. Sanzo squeezed his neck so hard it left marks, and the innkeeper wanted to fix that. The kappa sighs as he lit a cigarette and puffed it, he thought about what happened the night before right after Sanzo shot the monkey.

Flash Back:

"Bang!" went Sanzo's gun as the bullet engraved into Goku's chest. As the monkey hit the floor screaming in pain, Sanzo read a Sutra, and a new limiter appears on the monkey's head. The monk stood there looking at the monkey, Hakkai got up and went over to Goku. "Sanzo why? Why did you shoot him?"

Sanzo looks at the now concerned youkai, "Feh…. he asked for it."

Hakkai glared at him, "No one deserves to be shot, choked or slapped. What happened to you Sanzo?"

The monk looks at Hakkai, "What's wrong with me?" He pushed him against a wall, "I'll tell you what's wrong! That stupid monkey kissed me! And then he attacks me!"

The not so friendly anymore youkai pushed the monk away, "Goku loves you! Isn't it oblivious! He wouldn't do that if he didn't! He couldn't take this stupid attitude of yours so he took off his limiter! Before this happened I heard him screaming and crying! You hurt him so much Sanzo!"

Sanzo shakes his head, "Yea r-"

Hakkai stomps his foot, "Shut up Sanzo! I'm not finished!"

Gojyo sat up he looked shocked, Hakkai never told Sanzo to shut up.

"You were the one that saved Goku! You are practically his hero!" Hakkai's voice was full of anger.

Sanzo shakes his head; "It makes sense now…he never wanted me to do anything alone. He always wanted to come…and when he stared at me with those eyes…I had to…"

Gojyo smirks, "So the truth is out you do love the monkey?"

Sanzo glares at the kappa, "S-shut… up…" Sanzo fainted.

Flashback End

Sanzo woke up and slowly sat up in pain. Hakkai looks at the monk, "You shouldn't move much."

The monk looked at the friendly youkai ignoring what he said, "How's Goku?"

Hakkai looked at him concerned, "A doctor came and got the bullet out, he's resting now. The doctor doesn't know if he will make it over night…"

Sanzo sighs, he looked as if he was going to cry or maybe it was just from the pain, "That was heartless of me Hakkai. I…just felt really strange after he kissed me. I felt like I was betrayed by him."

The kind youkai looks at the monk strangely, "Betrayed but why?"

Sanzo shakes his head; "Sorry said that wrong, I felt betrayed by him after seeing him with Gojyo. I didn't see that he was crying and the kappa was comforting him."

Hakkai nods, "You were jealous then?"

The monk sighs and lays back down putting his arm across his face, "I rather not use that word…but yes. But it was stupid of the monkey to take off his limiter."

The green-eyed youkai shakes his head, "He did it because he was scared, you hit me and you were choking Gojyo."

The monk sighs, "Yea I'm sorry about that…"

Hakkai smiles, "No hard feelings."

--

It was nighttime and Sanzo just finished eating, he only saw Gojyo once that day. Both of them didn't exchange many words, but everything seemed fine between them. Sanzo was now sitting by Goku's bed, Hakkai came into the room, and "Sanzo you should get some rest."

The monk shakes his head, "No…I need to stay here…I have to make sure he makes it through."

Hakkai nods and hands him a blanket and leaves the room. Sanzo sits there and watches Goku sleep as he whimpers. The monk looks at the floor, "Goku please make it through…. please live. I don't know what I will do…if you were gone."

The monk lays back in the chair and sleeps, hours passed and the monks wakes up after hearing Goku screaming. Sanzo looks at the monkey, he was sweating and was screaming in pain. The monk didn't know what to do, "Stop Goku please!'

Goku was now tossing in turning, "No! Why! SANZO!"

Sanzo gets on the bed and holds him still, "Shh…I'm here Goku."

The monkey tried to move again, then he slowly stops, "Why Sanzo…w…why…"

Sanzo watched him then he checks the monkey's pulse it was getting weak. "No Goku! Come on! Stay with me! Goku!" He sat up the monkey and held him in his arms, "Please…don't go…" He felt like crying then he started to panic, "HAKKAI! GOJYO! SOMEONE! HELP!"

Hakkai and Gojyo both came running into the room, "What is it?" Hakkai asked as he walked to Sanzo.

Sanzo took a deep breath, "Goku his pulse his getting weaker!"

Gojyo runs over to them and jumps on the bed and grabbed Goku, "Give him CPR or something!"

Sanzo looks at the kappa, "What! No!"

The kappa looks at the monk and hands him Goku, "Then you do it! Unless you want him to die!"

Sanzo sighs, "Don't wait me…ok then I will do it!" Hakkai and Gojyo went outside the room. Sanzo put his mouth on Goku's and did CPR.

Goku starts to squirm around, Sanzo just watches him and admired the taste of the monkey's lips. The monkey opens his eyes slowly, they widen as he see the monk.

Sanzo looks embarrassed now, "I…you going to live?"

Goku nods, "Yes…" Looks away as he was in Sanzo's arms.

Sanzo sighs and pulls Goku's to face him and there lips met. Goku was surprised and pushes away, "Sanzo?"

Sanzo pulling him in, "I…realized that I couldn't go on without you.."

Hakkai heard what he said and smiles, Gojyo pulls the youkai in and they kiss.

Goku was amazed, "R-Really? But I hope you know I lo-"

Sanzo interrupts him with a kiss, as they kiss he puts the monkey on the bed and he gets on top of him. He broke the kiss, "Goku I know…I love you too…and I don't want you to die."

Goku smiles, "I might die from happiness…"

Sanzo smirks, "Stupid monkey" their lips met again.

The night went on, Hakkai and Gojyo made out for the rest of night. While Sanzo and Goku slept together in each other's arms.

--

And their relationships stayed the same, there was only on difference, was that they are in love.

So now Sanzo still hits Goku for whining, and calls Gojyo a 'perverted kappa'.

Goku is still hungry, he taught himself to control his anger better.

Gojyo still hangs on Hakkai, and he seems to be the same pervert from before.

Hakkai just smiles friendly as he watches his best friends and lover argue.

This event helped them all express their feelings!
