Goyjo, Goku, and Hakkai had been injected with an antidote. "I know you cannot move yet," one of the assistant said. "It may be painful when your limbs regain the feeling, you should also be able talk soon. Although it may hurt, it will be best to try to move once you have the ability to…I do not have any news of your friend."

Hakkai was the first one able to sit up, but Goku and Goyjo were also regaining the ability to move. He painfully walked to the door, saw one of the assistants, and stopped him. "The Monk…the Monk that brought us here, where is he?" "This way," motioned the assistant clearly flustered. They walked over to a surgery room. "The doctors are doing their best to close the wound…" There were 2 doctors huddled around Sanzo. "Let me," said Hakkai motioning them away. He placed his hands over Sanzo and used his Chi to heal the wound. "Thank you," said one of the doctors amazed by Hakkai's skill.
"Hakkai, Hakkai? How is he?" asked Goku.

"I don't know," said Hakkai looking worried. "I was able to heal most of his wounds but he has lost a lot of blood and the doctors here are not able to give him a transfusion. In addition he has a number of unhealed injuries that he has apparently been ignoring. All we can do now is wait and hope."

"Damn him," said Gojyo. "He should have let his injuries heal."

"And he saved us today…" pointed out Goku. "He lost more blood because he had to drag us to safety."

"Now, now. Don't worry," said Hakkai putting on his happy face. "Goku would you please get us some food for dinner, when Sanzo wakes up I am sure that he will want something to eat."

"Ok," said Goku and he left, lacking his normal excitement when it came to food.

Gojyo and Hakkai were sitting next to Sanzo's bed. The monk was paler than usual and his breathing was shallow. He looked like he was almost too tired to be able to continue breathing. "He really is not in a good state is he?" asked Gojyo.

"No…he has never been this bad off before. I am just worried that he will not get his strength back…"

Suddenly Sanzo twisted and shook in his sleep, clearly having a nightmare.

In the corner stood a little boy dressed like a monk. He looked down at his hands, which were covered in blood, and tears were streaming down his face. "Sanzo, Sanzo!" he cried out. On the floor in front of him was his master, dead. Sanzo his only family, Sanzo his master, Sanzo his friend, Sanzo his reason for life lay in a pool of blood. Sanzo was dead. The room went dark only the blond haired boy with his purple eyes and his master remained. "You killed me," the dead master cried out. "You slowness and stupidity caused me to die. You are weak. I had to save you. You never had friend and you never will, you do not deserve them." With this the boy cried even louder struggling to apologize for his weakness.

The master then faded out and the boy grew older, he was now no longer a kid. He now wore robes like that of his old master. Up to him walked 3 guys, one with a monocle and short dark hair, one with long red hair, and one a boy still with long brown hair. They appeared to be laughing and talking together but no sound was heard. The boy was still alone. One by one the 3 guys fell over dead, yelling "Sanzo, Sanzo this is all your fault. You killed us. We hate you, we always hated your. You are weak. Why don't you just die…"

"I am sorry, I am sorry. I should just die…"

"Gojyo help me hold him down." Hakkai and Gojyo bent over Sanzo, trying to calm and restrain him. Sweat was dripping down from Sanzo's forehead and his breathing was erratic. "We need to calm him down."

"I…am….sorry" Sanzo whispered in his sleep. He had calmed down again. "I am sorry," he said a bit stronger. "I should just die!" With that Sanzo fell back, still.

Hakkai and Gojyo quickly turned around as they heard the floor creak behind them. Goku was standing in the doorway. "Is he…?" said Goku. "No," said Hakkai, "it was just a nightmare."

They shared a room that night, none of them wanting to leave Sanzo alone is his constant tossing and turning that was draining what little energy he had left. It was Gojyo's turn to keep watch over Sanzo while Goku and Hakkai were resting.

Sanzo was sleeping calmly for the moment. Suddenly Gojyo noticed that the room was getting foggy. He tried to stand up to wake the others but lacked the necessary energy. His eyelids grew heavy and he fell asleep.
